"No Taylor" Lorelai spoke without looking up from her magazine. She hadn't been sitting in the diner long before Taylor had entered, specifically looking for her. Again he believed it best to bug her about getting Luke to do something instead of asking Luke first. Although Lorelai knew Luke would say no this time. She had the luxury, this time, of not needing anything from Taylor in return which meant she could refuse to do anything and have nothing backfire onto her.
"But if you'll just listen to what I have to-"
"No Taylor"
"You could persuade-"
"No Taylor"
"I'm only talking about a couple of posters"
"No Taylor"
"God you too were made for each other!" Lorelai appeared from behind Cosmo.
"Me and Luke getting married doesn't mean you can use me to get to him"
"It's a dance evening Lorelai, dances from around the world. You love dancing and I hear you're making the costumes"
"Yes but-"
"It's just this one thing I'm asking for!"
"Yes, then it'll be can you get Luke to sign off on this, can you get Luke to participate in that, can you get Luke to-"
"I get the picture"
"Good"
"But-"
"No Taylor" Luke interrupted. He had listened to the conversation long enough and was glad that Lorelai was on his side but annoyed that Taylor wouldn't give in. Taylor grumbled to himself and stormed out the door.
"Thanks for the save hon." Lorelai said, returning to the magazine.
"Well he was bugging me too" Luke filled up her coffee mug without asking before disappearing off to refill more mugs around the diner. "What have you got planned for today?" He asked, returning to her side. He leant heavily on the counter, peering over her magazine.
"Thought I'd go to work today" She replied nonchalantly.
"That's a novel idea"
"I know, I've been neglecting work recently with everything that's been going on but Sookie's still off work and Michel's been whining down the phone everyday"
"I thought you were immune to his whines?"
"He's kicked it up a notch meaning the high pitched screams have started to give me a headache"
"Ah"
"I only plan to go in this morning to make sure the place is still standing, then this afternoon I am starting on the wedding plans" She finished excitedly. She couldn't stop thinking about the wedding and all the plans for it, glad that she was actually desperate to get married unlike her first engagement fiasco.
"So soon?"
"You trying to procrastinate for any particular reason?" Lorelai asked, eyeing up her fiancé.
"Hell no" Luke replied quickly, the last thing he needed was Lorelai thinking he didn't want to get married.
"Good, so I'll start with the date and then we'll work back from there"
"Isn't picking a date like, pointing at a square on calendar and going "that'll be nice"?"
"Oh, I have something very special planned for the date picking"
"Do I wanna know?"
"Come home around three and I'll show you"
"Okay"
"Then after that, we're celebrating Rory's new home by have a movie marathon, wedding related of course. We start off with Father of the Bride the classic, not the remake, and then we move on to My Best Friends Wedding and finish off the evening with The Wedding Singer. Doesn't it sound fun?"
"Sounds like there's gonna be a lot of sugar involved"
"You gonna join us?"
"Nah, you and Rory need a little alone time after recent events but I'll bring home whatever's left from the diner"
"Good boy"
"I'll see you for lunch?"
"That you will" Lorelai closed up her magazine, kissed Luke goodbye and walked out the diner.
At three o'clock exactly Luke walked through the door, a to-go cup of coffee in one hand. He was wise enough to always come home with coffee or food, unless he wanted to go back to living on his own.
"Lorelai?" He shouted up the stairs.
"I'll be down in a minute!" She shouted back. He placed the coffee into a proper mug and placed it down on the kitchen table ready for her. A minute later he heard her bound down the stairs and skip into the kitchen.
"What are you doing home so early?" She asked, grabbing the coffee.
"You told me to be here at three for the date picking"
"Ah yes" Lorelai grabbed paper bag from the work surface and pulled out a calendar and a dart. She opened the calendar and pulled out November. She then tacked it to Rory's bedroom door.
"You going to explain what's going on?"
"We're going to let fate decide that's what" Lorelai pulled her and Luke a fair distance away from the door and aimed the dart.
"Why November?"
"Snow"
"Huh?" Lorelai let her aiming arm drop to her side. She sighed dramatically, turning to Luke.
"All the best things have happened to me when it has snowed, therefore it must snow when we get married"
"Sorry, aim away" Lorelai turned back to her target. She pulled the dart back and threw it at the door. The dart whizzed through the air and landed two inches from November. Luke laughed, causing Lorelai to swat him in the chest. She walked up to the door, pulled the dart out of the wood and walked back into place to try again. This time the dart landed where it was supposed to. Lorelai smiled to herself at her achievement, leaving Luke to find out the date.
"So?"
"November twenty first" He replied, matching her smile.
