Falcons My Daddy: I'm probably going to use your idea in Chapter 11. If you want to know ahead of time which one I'm gonna use, just tell me and I'll e-mail you, cuz I don't want to tell everyone else, hehe.


When Luke left the diner, Jess once again went gallivanting around town, leaving the diner empty. Alexis came back, somehow sneaking past Luke and Lorelai at the Dragonfly, and let herself in. She looked around for Luke and Jess, and upon finding nobody home, went upstairs and finished her sketch, periodically getting up to check if somebody was coming. When she was done, she folded up the sketch and put it in her back pocket; she wouldn't make the mistake of letting anybody see that again, Alexis knew Jess was suspicious. Then, she walked over to the door, and called downstairs, to see if anybody was in the diner, but nobody answered her. She shut the door, and went straight to Luke's desk drawers, moved to his dresser drawers and eventually under his mattress. Alexis couldn't find what she had been looking for. Where the hell could it be? Alexis asked herself. Where is God's name would he keep it? As Alexis stood near the side of Luke's bed, pondering, she heard the door squeak open, and quickly came out of her daze. Good, it's Luke, not Jess this time.

"Hey Luke!" Alexis said, with fake enthusiasm. Luke looked suspiciously at Alexis. What is she doing near my bed? He thought, and quickly came to the conclusion that he was being paranoid, because of Jess's, in his mind, false accusations.

"Hey. What are you doing here?"

"Oh.. I was just looking for you. I got here a few minutes ago, and came up here. I was about to come downstairs, cause.. you obviously weren't here." She giggled nervously, hoping Luke wouldn't see through her lie. Luckily for her, Luke was a lot more trusting than Jess.

"Oh, okay. Well, I'm gonna go open the diner back up, if you wanna come help me. Maybe then we could actually talk, since you know, we haven't really yet" Luke told Alexis, keeping Lorelai's advice, to talk to and get to know Alexis, in the back of his mind.

"Sounds Great! I'll be down in a second." She told him. Luke nodded, and walked downstairs to reopen the diner. Alexis was still upstairs thinking. She walked over to the door, and took one final look around, just in case there was something she hadn't thought of, or seen before, made note of it, shut the light and closed the door behind her. She then hurried downstairs to help out Luke.

"What should I do?" She asked Luke. Everyone in Stars Hollow knew about her, and all eyes were on her. What's she like? I hope she's not anything like Jess. Almost the exact same thoughts were running through everybody's head.

"Take peoples orders bring them to me, then bring them their food. Can you do that?" Luke asked his daughter.

"Surely" she said, with a big smile on her face. She walked over to Kirk and asked him what he'd like. Lorelai and Rory then walked into the diner. Lorelai smiled at Alexis and headed to a table.

"I feel like something different today." Lorelai announced, as she picked up a menu.

"Oh yeah? What?"

"I don't know." She said, still reading the menu. She then put it down and exclaimed "Coffee and Pie!"

"That's something different?" Rory asked, giggling, and shaking her head at her mother. Alexis then walked over to them to take their order. They both told her their orders and Alexis walked away.

"Is that her?" Rory said softly, as soon as Alexis walked away. Lorelai nodded her head.

"Isn't it weird?" She asked.

"Isn't what weird?"

"I don't know, Luke having a daughter. It just seems weird."

"Yeah.." Rory said thoughtfully. At that moment, Jess walked into the diner, catching her attention. "What's he doing here?" She asked, extremely surprised, and a little suspicious. Jess's eyes never left Rory, as he walked to the counter and began working.

"Oh... He came last night... Didn't I tell you?"

"No" Rory said, kind of annoyed.

"Oh, I could have sworn I did."

"Well you didn't" Rory snapped back.

"Well I'm sorry." Lorelai said, as both their orders arrived, in the hands of Jess.

"Here you two go." he said, with that same old smirk on his face, and walked away.

Back at the counter, Alexis asked Luke if she could go upstairs for awhile, considering Jess was there and all. Luke agreed, but told her to come down in about half an hour. She quickly went upstairs and continued her search.

Under the mattress, Check. In his dresser, Check. In his desk drawer, Check. She went through a check list in her head. In his night table drawer! How simple! She thought, ran over to the night table, opened the drawers quickly, and started looking around frantically. Not there either. Where the hell could it be? She thought, and that's when she saw it, a safe, sticking out from the top shelf of his closet. Of course! She thought, how easy, but where's the key? This wasn't as simple as she thought it'd be. None the less, she took her sketch out from her back pocket and made a big X where she had drawn the closet.

Now, to find the key. She thought of all the places she might hide one. Hoping the whole, 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree' saying had more to do with genetics, than being around somebody your entire life. Then it hit her. She took all of his drawers out, and looked underneath each and every one. Starting with his desk drawer, she worked herself to his dresser drawers, and then to Luke's night table.

"Ah ha!" She said aloud, as she flipped over the top drawer in Luke's night table. Taped to the bottom was a small metal key. She once again took out her sketch from her back pocket. And made a smaller X on Luke's night table. She figured she'd come back some other time, and finish her work.

It had been about half an hour since she had come up into Luke's apartment, and God forbid, Luke would have to send Jess up to find her again. She knew there was no way she could cover up her current situation. She put Luke's drawer back, leaving the key in the same spot, put her sketch in her back pocket, and feeling very satisfied with herself, ran downstairs.
