Taylor was not in a very good mood. To start off with, Kirk was annoying him to the point of screaming and ripping his remaining hair out, and now his town was overrun with ten hour late bikers who had nowhere to stay because everyone thought that they weren't going to be coming through Stars Hollow after all. To top it all off, he could see Luke in the distance storming towards him like a madman. He tried to make a hasty exit, really truly tried, but there was only so much he could do and nowhere he could really hide.

"Taylor!"

He sighed, resigned to his fate. "Yes Luke?"

"How long do I have before it's too late for me to get the Twickam house back?"

Kirk chose that moment to pipe up, "It's already too late, Luke; I signed the papers this afternoon while we were waiting for the race to finish."

Taylor faced the now confused man who was currently gesturing wildly into the air with a voice much too loud for this time of night. "What do you mean! You said I had three days!"

"Yes yes, Luke, you had three days to back out of the deal. But once you say no the house is up for bidding again." Luke goes on to ramble about "This and That and the Other Thing" in Taylor-vision while he calmly tried to explain the intricacies of property management. "Afterall, Luke, I would think I would know a bit being as I own seveal real estate properties within town limits."

Taylor watches in amazement as Luke suddenly just gives up and walks away. The first thought in his head is about how this had to have been the shortest argument he had ever shared with the diner owner. The second thought in his head is a question as to why.

Using the gazebo for cover he crept into viewing range of the windows of Luke's Diner and watched a most shocking scene play out. Luke, slamming the door to his establishment and joining what appeared to be Lorelai near the entrance before going into what appeared to be an angry rant. Lorelai then placed her hands on his chest in an attempt to calm the irrate man, which apparently worked considering he took hers back. The two shared a few quiet words before Luke was gesturing like a madman again. Taylor watched Luke talking the most he had ever seen him talk without actually hearing the words. He then opened his eyes in shock when Luke suddenly went down on his knee and all he saw was Lorelai's smiling face.

Taylor spied as Luke stood again and spun his woman around in a circle twice with a smile he hadn't seen on the lad's face since before his mother died, before he just as quietly disengaged himself in order to call a meeting of the people of Stars Hollow's "Hello Magazine."


That's it. I mean for this chapter anyway. My next one might be my final-- I really have no clue, but I will go over the scene in the diner with more detail (meaning more mush).

One last request: go on my profile and read my newest star wars fic if you're a fan. I only got 1 review and I was hoping for some more feedback because the whole thought process for it took about an hour of careful thinking and writing for something so small and I wanted to know what other people thought of it.
