(A/N: Thanks to my reviewers, all 6 of them. ;) Also, I am very new to this thing, so I have a couple things to ask of you reviewers. First off, what does PDLD mean? And also JavaJunkie? Lol. I know, I know, but I've got to find out some way. Errrr, that's it for now. More to add, Lorelai, Sookie, and Michel are still at the Independence Inn.)

Disclaimer: Don't own Gilmore Girls.


LLfreak8285: I know! I like Dean way better then Jess, not to say that Jess wasn't good or anything, but still. Oh, believe me, this thing is going to literally crawl before they get together. :) Anyway, I can't stand it either when they rush it, because, you are so right, it just makes it seem… weird-ish. In an odd, good (most of the time) way.

bloodymary2: Yeah, I was worried about him. ((remembers to add lots of 'grunts' and 'ranting' to Luke character)) Also, I was really worried if I could get Lorelai to be her quirky self. It took a lot of thinking my part to make her really funny, because that's what makes Lorelai herself. Half the time, you can't tell if she's joking around, or really trying to make a point. :)

damnmydooah: Ok, first, I am really interested to see how you got your penname. Lol. Thanks so much for the compliment! I was completely flattered by it. :)


-Their Dreams-

-Chapter 2-

-Work-


Lorelai walked into the lobby of the Independence Inn, her face looking worn. Her usual morning caffeine had kicked in (finally), but it did nothing to help.

"Thank God, you're here!" Michel said, his face panicked. "Make them stop!"

Lorelai looked around, but nothing caught her eye. The lobby was basically empty except for two elderly women crocheting in the back. "What's wrong? Have the voices inside your head finally told you that you're indeed insane?" Lorelai gave him a half grin.

"I despise you." Michel huffed, "But that's beside the point. These two children… they're ruining everything!" He pointed at two toddlers laughing under the wooden table in the middle of the room.

"Michel, they're just two kids. Nothing's wrong with them laughing." Lorelai raised her eyebrows. It was a bit deep for even Michel to insult 3-year-olds.

"But it's breaking my concentration!" Michel protested, "Can you please find out what room they are in?"

"Why don't you just do it?" She answered as her cell phone gave out a shrill ring.

"Because I don't want to touch the phone! They slobbered all over it already!" He made a face.

But Lorelai wasn't looking at him, her eyes spotted Luke headed towards the staircase.

"Are you going to answer that, or will I throw it away?" Michel complained about the indecent noise coming from the cell.

She held up a finger to silence him, turned off her cell quickly thinking whoever it was would call back later if it was important, and made her way across the room, trying not to lose sight of Luke.

"Luke!" She called out, "What are you doing here?" Lorelai eventually caught up to him, falling into step with him.

"Sookie said one of the room's bed frames' broke last night." Luke grunted, not giving the full story.

"That's why we have maintenance men. We pay them good money to do what you're doing now. Unless somehow I missed something." She struggled to keep up with him.

At that exact moment in time, Miss Patty walked in, and saw the two walking down the hallway together. She immediately ran out of the lobby, and made a beeline straight for Babette's place.


Lorelai eventually gave in to the fact that Luke wasn't going to tell her everything, so she broke away, heading to the kitchen, where a wondrous smell had erupted.

"Sookie, what have we got here?" Lorelai took in the aroma, letting it fill her nostrils.

"Today's lunch." Sookie said, diving for a pot.

"…Which is?" Lorelai pressed on.

"Broiled lamb chops, mashed potatoes, fresh green peas, corn on the cob, and New York cheesecake for dessert." She stated proudly. "Sounds great, huh?"

"It does." Lorelai gave her best friend a smile, "But what big event is it?"

"…Don't you remember?" Sookie stared at her in horror.

"…No. Am I supposed to?" Lorelai asked confusedly.

"Emily. She's coming here for lunch…" Sookie squeaked out. "She said you skipped last Friday Night's Dinner, so she's coming up today."

"Damn! I knew I was forgetting something!" Lorelai sighed. "Did you manage to catch what time she mentioned?"

"12 on the spot." Sookie answered.

All the sudden, the door to the kitchen flew open.

"Lorelai!" Babette ran in. "Patty's just told me the good news!"

"Dear God. Babette, my mother coming here isn't exactly a walk in the park!" Lorelai said.

"No, no, not that!" Babette crowed, "I heard about you and Luke this morning!"

"…Luke and I?" Lorelai asked, "What has Luke got to do with any of this?"

Just then, the man of the moment came walking in. "Sookie, the bed's fixed. Anything else?"

Babette squealed. "You guys must of done some good stuff! Breaking the bed!"

"What?" Lorelai nearly screamed.

"Patty just told me she saw you two heading for a room."

"No, no, no. Luke and I were just talking, Babette. Nothing went on!" Lorelai looked to Luke for help.

"We didn't do anything… dirty." Luke felt uncomfortable, talking about this subject in front of her, "Sookie just called about a broken bed frame, so I came down to fix it."

"Damn." Babette groaned. "And all that running for nothing."


(A/N: So, what'd you guys think of it? Hopefully I sorta got Luke into character, and Lorelai didn't really get to be funny, and it was a short chapter, but I promise, there shall be better chapters then this. Also, no updates for a week, since I'm going to Virginia. Hopefully I'll get to catch a couple episodes there! And if not, then that's why man invented TiVo. ;) )
