LukelovesLorelai: Thanks'

GilmoreHorseFreak04: Yeahh, I love the part when Lorelai pretends to be with Luke so that guy that Sookie is trying to set her up with will leave her alone. Haha soo great.

Mirax Corran: Yeah me too...I'm too broke to buy the DVD's...Maybe when season 5 comes out I'll buy that one. Probably not, though.

SAGRA05: That sucks. I hate when you tape something and it doesn't work, makes me soo mad.

LLfreak8285: Yeah, I wish they would too. And yeah I don't like a lot of scary movies. Some are OK but those ones usually aren't that scary lol.

politicaldonkey: Thanks

Lukelorelaichick: Yeahhh, what's the point of the story if they just get together right away? I definatley agree, when I do stories like this I can't just let them be like "ooo I love you" five sentences into the story.

Noam: Yes, so was I. I think Say Goodbye to Daisy Miller is on today. When I saw that one I was gonna like cry I was so happy when Lorelai called Luke and was like "i dont want to forget about it, it was a great kiss.". Lol.

J.Stone: Thank you so much! Yes, everybodys hoping for that great L/L ending but, I think I did it in my other story, 'Stand Still' so hopefully I'll pull it off again. Thanks for the review

Lorelai was again sitting in her bedroom. It was late but she couldn't sleep. Around midnight, she sat up and turned on the light on her nightstand. She reached over, grabbed her diary, and opened to where she had left off.

She read the first few sentences and realized that her next entry was when Sherri was having her baby. She didn't want to read that, she already knew what it said. She flipped a couple of pages ahead and began reading.

The entry was from the day she ran into Max. She flipped the page again, she didn't want to read about Chris or Max, not today.

April 20th

Well, this has been a crazy week. The Independence Inn caught on fire. Everyone got out safely but no one could go back in for 24 hours soooo, the guests had to stay with people in the town. And, lucky me, I made spending the night sound so fun that this family shows up at my door asking if they can stay. I let them take my room, God that reminds me, I have to throw away those sheets…They didn't look too tired. Ugh.

So, I wandered the streets for a while and then I started throwing rocks at Luke's window. It was pretty cool. I felt like we were in a movie, all I needed was a guitar and a love song. He let me stay the night.

Then, he lied to Nicole about me staying there with him. He said that Nicole is jealous of me or something. I think that's pretty weird. Why be jealous of me? So what if he mentioned me a couple times during their date…I mean, I am one of his biggest customers, I go there multiple times a day, I'm practically Luke's life. Plus, what better to brighten a date with than a hilarious Lorelai story, huh? It's either that or telling her about the time when Kirk wore his underwear outside his pants for an entire month and ate nothing but watermelon…I never really understood why he did that…Hmmm…His underwear always had these pink stains all over it from the watermelon, it was actually pretty entertaining… But anyways, that would be a little bit creepy, right? Talking about Kirk on their first date, that'd be weird… Plus, she did order multiple cups of coffee so why wouldn't he think of me? I am the coffee queen! Man,that reminds me, I need coffee. OK, I keep getting sidetracked…I'm like one of those five years olds with ADD and magic markers, hmmm that's besides the point. But anyways, then we started talking and I told him about that dream I had. The one where we were married and I was having twins. He didn't even mock me or anything…well maybe a little bit, but whatever. I don't know. I didn't tell him about the kiss part, though. What would he think? That I have sexual dreams about him all the time? That I want him? That I want to see him in nothing but his backwards baseball cap, and do dirty things with him? OK…So, he's not bad looking but he's Luke. He's my coffee guy, Luke. He's my friend, Luke. I wouldn't want him to think stuff like that.

Yes, anyways…The biggest news of all

Rory's going to Yale. I even have a t-shirt that says it. You just gotta love Kirk, sometimes. I know, I was completely against the Rory/Yale thing but, she'll be closer to me…And it's a great school…And it's closer. I can visit all the time, she can visit all the time.

Rory's going to Yale.

Lorelai

Lorelai blinked her eyes a few times and read it over. The whole Luke thing freaked her out a little bit. Sure, he wasn't bad looking, but like she had said before, he's her coffee guy, he's her friend…He's Luke.

April 23rd

Happy Birthday, Lorelai

Here is $75,000 for you. Hmmm, it sounds beautiful. I'm rich! I can buy all the shoes in the world!

And, Rory made me a really, really big pizza. Also, Michel and Toban went crazy today. They were both trying to give me really good presents. I love birthdays.

She flipped the page again.

April 30th

So I offered Luke a room at the Dragonfly and then we were down some maids so I went around doing some turn-down services. Of course, I walk into Luke and Nicole's room. It was so awkward and so weird. I don't know, I just feel so weird about it. Weird, weird, weird. Nicole doesn't seem like Luke's type. I'm not so sure what his type is, but not Nicole. She's just too lawyery. He hates lawyers…Why would he date one? I know she's nice and everything but, she doesn't seem like his type.

I don't know. It was weird.

Lorelai

This entry bothered her a little bit. She wasn't sure why but it was like, she was jealous of Nicole or something. She didn't get jealous very often, and why would she be jealous of Nicole? Maybe because Nicole's allowed to talk on her cell phone in the diner and she's not.

She turned the page, passing her entries where she talked about Jess leaving town and how to tell Rory, and not being able to pay for Yale and the Dragonfly…She didn't want to read those.

September 23rd

Well…You'd think I'd want to update on my trip to Europe. You'd think that wouldn't you? I mean, I just got home from this amazing trip, backpacking through Europe with my daughter, but nooooo. I have much more important things to talk about.

Rory wrote down the wrong date for her orientation and so we had almost no time together. I know that we had the whole summer and stuff but we had plans! We had a list! We had activities planed. Yeah, so we ended up in my mother's house watching ballroom dancing videos and eating biscotti's…Weird, I know.

And…Now…dun, dun, dun… this is the part in the movie where the girl in walking all alone in the creepy, dark, hall and the scary music is playing and your sitting on your couch screaming 'No! Susie, don't do it!' …It doesn't have to be Susie, though. It could be a Ralph or a Jordan or an Alexandra…Whatever you'd like. Point is, this is huge! This scary! This is so unbelievable… This is…it's something…

Luke is married.

Luke. My Luke. My diner, Luke. My coffee man, Luke. He is married. Married…I have no idea what to say or think or do. I'm just in complete shock. Luke is married. Like…married.

While Rory and I were backpacking through Europe, Luke was on a cruise with Nicole and well, I guess he was just like…Hey I think I'll get married.

I wonder if he got down on one knee…I wonder what he said before it? You know, like the part where the guy is like "Ooooh Stephanie, I love you so much, you are my angel, you are my one true love, I can never live without you." And then they pop the question. But again, whatever name applies. I wonder what Luke said. Did he love her? Was she his angel? His one true love? …Well maybe not that because they are getting divorced.

Divorced. What's the stat about divorce? Isn't it like 50 of married couples get divorced? Maybe not, I'll have to add that to my list of things I need to google.

He's getting divorced. But, still…Luke is married. My Luke. My Luke is married.

Lorelai

'My Luke.' Why did she call him her Luke? He wasn't her Luke. He was just Luke. Why did she flip out about this so much? Luke was married… So, it was weird, but she took it a little overboard, didn't she?

She turned off the lights and tried to sleep again.

"Hello Beautiful." Lorelai smiled as she waltzed into the diner four hours later. It was only seven o'clock but she had been up for hours.

"I'm out of coffee." Luke told her.

"You're joking." She told him as she stood in front of him, with the counter between them.

"Why are you up so early?" He asked. "You've been coming so early, lately."

"Coffee, Luke. I need coffee." She told him.

"I told you, I'm out." He said.

"You're joking." She told him.

"No, I'm not." He said.

"Yes."

"No."

"Yesssss."

"Noooooooo."

"Luke, you can't be out. It's seven o'clock. What kind of diner runs out of coffee at seven in the morning?"

"The kind that has to serve you everyday." He smiled. "Don't you have coffee at your house?"

"I drank it." She said.

"All of it?"

"I didn't have that much left."

"How much have you had?" He asked.

"3 cups." She answered.

"That's enough."

"C'mon…Yours is better." She smiled.

He smiled.

"You're kidding, right?" She asked.

He nodded, "I'm kidding."

She sighed and he handed her a cup of fresh coffee. "I don't see why you think that's so funny." She told him as she sat on the stool and took a sip of her coffee.

"You wouldn't." He said. "So why have you been getting up so early?"

"Can't sleep."

"I wonder why." He said sarcastically.

"I'm just anxious, I guess." She told him.

"Yeah…It couldn't have anything to do with the enormous amounts of coffee you consume every day."

"Nooo…I'm just anxious, you know, the Inn and everything."

"Ohh, the Inn, that's right." He said.

"You forgot?" She asked. "You're an investor and you forgot?"

"No…I didn't forget, Lorelai." He said.

"You're coming to the test run, aren't you?" She asked hoping he'd say yes. She didn't really know why she wanted him to come so badly, but she did. She didn't expect him to say yes but, she hoped he would.

"Yeah." He nodded.

She smiled, "good." She said.

"Yup, good." He replied. "Half the town all stuffed together into an Inn for a whole night…They should make a TV movie." He said.

"It's going to be a night to remember." She told him.

He nodded.

"Hey, did you see all that stuff they are putting up in the square?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah." He said.

"Any idea what it's for? I mean, Taylor must have asked you to put up a flyer already…Remember what it said?" She asked.

"It's for Liz's wedding…And there are no flyers." He said.

"Yet." She smiled. "Soo…Liz is getting married?"

"Yup." He said. "To TJ."

"Ah, the etch-a-sketch man."

"In the square, on Saturday. I'm supposed to invite you." He said.

"Invite me?" Lorelai asked.

"Yeah." He said.

"Like invite me to go to the wedding…like by myself…Or invite me to the wedding…like with you." Lorelai asked. What are you doing, Lorelai? Why are you asking him this? Of course he's not inviting you to go with him. Liz wanted you to go not him.

"What?" He asked.

"Am I going with you or alone?" She asked. What am I doing? Maybe I have had too many cups of coffee today.

"Ummm…I don't get it." He said.

She sighed, rolled her eyes and said, "Are you inviting me to go with you or just to…go…" She asked, wishing that this conversation had never started.

"Whatever you want…" He said very unsure of why she was asking him this.

"What do you want?" Don't ask him that! Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why do you even care? … I guess now I'll know if all of those rumors about him liking me are true.

"Why are you asking me this?" He asked.

"I like...watching you... squirm." She said uneasily after thinking for a couple seconds. Smoooth, Lorelai.

He rolled his eyes at her. "You going or not?"

"I'll go…I could use a break." She said, still very nervous.

"Yeah, you could. There's going to be turkey legs." He told her.

"Oh boy." She said.

"Thought you'd be excited." He told her.

"Well, you thought right, mister." She said.

Chapter Seven, oh man...

Soo, happy Halloween everyone. At the moment I'm sucking on one of those big, orange, pumpkin, lolly-pops. It's pretty cool...Yess, anyways...
