(A/N: Sorry about the long time without updates. I had this chapter all written out, but couldn't find the time to type it up. :( )

Baby Girl Geller-Green: I'm going to try to pull off everyday updates, but I'm not sure if that'll happen with this one. This week, I'm volunteering, leaving me little time to write. –sigh- Oh well, but don't worry, updates will be coming up soon!

Kristen: Awesome! I loved your state! So pretty and quiet, well, at least where I was. I'd set my alarm too, the only problem would that I'd probably sleep right through it. I know, I'm weird that way. ;)

ETB4670: I'm sorry I confused you. Lorelai went to Luke's because she needed coffee, because of the Emily fiasco. Then it shoots forward to the evening, where Dean walks Rory home from the bus stop, and then Lorelai and Rory go to Luke's after Lorelai explains her day. If that doesn't help, review me and tell me what else you don't get. I want to make this as understandable as possible for my readers.

Javarox: Thanks for answering one of my questions! I really, really, appreciate it!

Muffin Is Injured: -squee!- I was definitely not expecting you to review me back, but I can tell you, it totally made my day! Thanks for giving me that wonderful explanation of the PDLD thing, it made me laugh, especially the drunk part. :) Yeah, the second chapter wasn't that great for me either, but I was just filling in some stuff, and the whole night, I couldn't write a thing. The only thing I don't like about writing is those little 24 hour blips of writer's block. Also, congrats, that is the longest review I have EVER received. :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls.

Now on to the main attraction!


-Their Dreams-

-Chapter 4-

-Dinner and Tips-


"You know, when you're 50, you'll probably go diabetic from all this sugar." Luke nodded his head at the table filled with food.

"So says the man who provides the "bad" food for us." Rory replied, digging in.

"Yes, now go, and let us enjoy the food while we still can, O good food giver." Lorelai added.

"Good food giver? What kind of name is that?" Luke shook his head.

"I'd come up with a better one if you leave us alone." Lorelai answered, her mouth full of pancake.

Luke grunted, "You confuse me."

"Only 'cause we love you." Rory said, giving him a smile.

Luke shook his head, refilled their coffee cups, and went to go tend to the other customers.


Rory took a bite of her hamburger. "Mmmm… I think it's safe to admit that Luke's has the best food in Stars Hollow."

"No. I have to disagree on that. Luke's has the best food in all of Connecticut." Lorelai prodded her fork at Rory.

Rory dodged the fork, "Agreed."

"And by far the best coffee." Lorelai proved this by downing almost her entire cup.

"Most definitely." Rory took a sip of hers too.

"Any plans for the weekend?" Lorelai asked, taking another bite.

"Other then Friday Night Dinner?" Rory questioned.

"Duh." Lorelai replied.

"I got a date with Dean afterwards." A smile flicked across her face.

"Ah… The Dean. So how are you liking it so far?"

"Liking what?" Rory asked, confused about her mom's comment.

"Being the girlfriend of a murderer." Lorelai kept a straight face.

"What? Dean isn't a murderer. I mean, I think I'd know if he was one."

"Yeah, probably dead too." Lorelai broke a smile, she couldn't help it.

"Liar." Rory laughed.

Lorelai gave a wicked grin. "I had you going too, for about 5 seconds. If it hadn't been for those meddling kids." Lorelai quoted an old Scooby-Doo episode.

"Damn them."

"Dean's an awesome, and he's so unbelievably lucky to have you, Rory." Lorelai spoke the truth this time.

Rory smiled, "I'm more lucky to have him." She started to shoot off into the Dean realm.

"Okay, okay, let's not get too sappy. There are children here."

Rory looked around. "Are not."

"If you count Kirk, there is."

"I heard that!" Kirk yelled across the diner.

"So? You shouldn't be eavesdropping anyway!" Lorelai shot back.

"I wasn't! I was just nearby, and accidentally heard some of your conversation." Kirk said.

"Kirk, you're 3 yards away. You couldn't of hard anything without eavesdroppi-" Lorelai got cut off by Luke's hand being placed over her mouth.

"Ha!" Kirk nearly screamed at her.

"Shut up, Kirk." Luke glared at him.

"Fine." Kirk went back to looking at his menu. "I can't believe you don't have any radishes." He stage whispered.

Luke just shook his head and said to Lorelai, "No more yelling. The customers already get harried enough by your coffee addiction." He removed his hand.

That's when they both felt it. Just a light little feeling telling them that there was more to this then just a coffee addiction.


Before too long, Rory had finished and Lorelai had gone to pay the bill.

"5 bucks." Luke said.

"But we owe you more then that." Lorelai protested, digging around in her purse for her wallet.

"5 bucks." Luke repeated, "That's all I'm taking from you."

Lorelai sighed and gave in, handing him a crisp 5 dollar bill. "But just admit that we still owe you more."

Luke shrugged and grunted, inserting the money into the cash register.

"I'll take that as a yes." Lorelai headed back to the table, pauses for a moment, then walked out with Rory.

When Luke went to go collect their plates, he found another five stuck under a empty soda cup. He sighed and put it in his pocket, gathering the rest of the plates.


(A/N: Hope you liked it! Kirk's always a fun character to mess around with, so expect him to be in most of the chapters, along with Miss Patty and Babette. :) )
