Noam: Thanks! Hope you like it!
Luke'sGirl: Thanks!
LLfreak8285: Yeah... this one was 7 pages on word...doesn't seem very long, though. hope you like it!
allisonalr: Yes, I know... does that when I post... I don't know why but I proofread like 100 times and the spacing is fine, but when I post some words get smushed together...other people have told me it happens to them, too so I guess it's just something with the site
tom: Yes, I agree... I like the ones where they get together because they always seem to be much more interesting... but the married one I'm writing has angst, drama, fluff... hopefully you'll like it. I'll probably post the break up one first, along with some one-shots I've written... But, I still haven't decided for sure.
orangesherbert7: I'm not sure which one, yet... I also have a lot of one-shots writen, so those will get posted sometime soon as well as one of those stories.
Ronata: Thanks!
gilmoregirlsfanatic: Thank you!
Lukelorelaichick: Yeah, I was never a fan of Jason... he's just so... blah. and he's not her type at all... I mean, he has a dog that sits in the corner and does absolutely nothing... and he cant have people sleep in his bed... weirdo.
Muffin Is Injured: Lol. mafia of butterflies.
LukelovesLorelai: Thanks!
And on with the show...
"Flattery will get you everywhere, my friend." Lorelai smiled.
Luke nodded and lead her to the square, which was beautifully decorated in everything Renaissance.
"Butch! Over here!" A woman that Lorelai did not recognize yelled.
"Oh, God..." She heard Luke mumble.
"Whose that?" Lorelai asked as she watched the woman make her way towards them.
"Crazy Carrie." Luke said.
"How very Tom Terrific." Lorelai quipped.
"Yeah." Luke nodded.
"Butch, how you doing?" Carrie asked Luke.
"I'm good, Carrie." He told her.
"Good. You'll save me a dance, won't you?" She asked, squishing her breasts together to make them even larger than they already were.
"Uh...I, uh, don't dance." He said.
"That's what you think." She said with a wink. She glanced at Lorelai and gave her a bad look, and then left.
"Are those real?" Lorelai asked jokingly.
Luke shrugged.
"That's what the rumor is." He said.
She sat beside Luke as the service began to start. So what if they weren't technically there together? She could still sit next to him, right?
She snuck a look at him and saw he was looking around at the crowd. She opened her mouth, ready to talk, but was interrupted.
"Lorelai! Thank God!" Kirk said.
"What, Kirk?" Lorelai asked, frustrated that he interrupted them.
"Something's wrong with Liz's dress. Miss Pattie said you could fix it and so then she sent me to find you…She's at Miss Pattie's" Kirk said.
Lorelai got up and walked over to Miss Pattie's, hoping no one would sit in her seat beside Luke. Or actually, hoping that he would save it for her…
"Lorelai! Thank God!" Miss Pattie said as she entered the room.
"Those seem to be the magic words, today." Lorelai said. She went over to Liz who was wearing her wedding dress and standing on a box, examining herself in the mirror.
"So, what's the problem?" Lorelai asked.
"Right there… I think I broke the hem or something…I don't know the right dress making language for it, but look…" Liz said pointing to a small hole in her dress.
"I can fix that." Lorelai said. Miss Pattie left the room to go distract the guests.
"So, are you nervous?" Lorelai asked Liz as she stitched up her dress.
"No. TJ is the one. I know it's for real this time… I just wish Luke would believe me" Liz said with a hint of laughter in her tone.
"He's really glad that you're happy." Lorelai told Liz.
Liz smiled at her.
"So, hey I'm so glad that Luke invited you to come with him. I would have invited you myself, but he beat me to it." Liz said.
"What? He said you told him to invite me." She said. Was I imaging that whole crazy outburst I had in the diner, because he definitely said Liz invited me, right? Liz…not Luke…Liz.
"Nooo… He came up to me and asked if he could bring a date. He said he was going to ask you and since I was going to invite you anyway, I let him take the credit." Liz said.
Whoa…
"Oh My God!" Liz squealed before Lorelai could even say anything. Lorelai jumped and almost ended up sticking the sewing needle into Liz.
"What?" Lorelai asked.
"He gave you the earrings." Liz told her.
"What?" Lorelai asked again. Didn't he say that Liz told him to give them to me? Maybe he has some kind of lying problem?
"I gave him those when I was here a couple weeks ago. I said he could give them to his wife or to you… He gave them to you… I'm so glad. I mean, I never met the wife but I know you are perfect for him. I'm always right about stuff like this… Really, I'm always right." Liz went on.
He gave me the earrings. He gave them to me instead of Nicole. Me and not Nicole? That definitely meant something, right? That has to mean he feels something, right?
"All fixed." Lorelai smiled. She wanted to get back to Luke. She wanted to make sure nobody took her seat. She wanted to talk to him… hopefully get some sort of signal…
"Thanks, Lorelai! You're a life saver." Liz said.
"It's no problem. I'll see you after the service." And with that she dashed out of there and back to the ceremony.
She smiled when she saw Luke still sitting there with an empty seat beside him.
"Hey." Lorelai smiled when she returned to her seat next to Luke.
"Everything OK?" He asked.
"Oh, yeah. It's fine." Lorelai smiled. Before she could say anything else, the service began and she people started walking down the isle.
"Soo…" Lorelai said as she walked up to Luke who was watching Liz and TJ dance.
"Hey." He said.
"Liz and TJ would like to ask others to join them in this dance." Kirk announced.
"Hey, Lorelai?" Luke asked.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"You wanna…uhh…you wanna dance?" He asked. She smiled and put her hand out. He took it and led her to center of the dance floor.
"You said you didn't dance." She said. Is this a signal?
"Yeah, well I'm a compulsive liar." He replied.
"Don't I know it." She said, not meaning for it to be out loud.
"What?" He asked.
"Well…" She hesitated. I guess it's now or never.
"Liz told me she didn't actually invite me to the wedding…you…uh…did." She said. "And she said that the earrings weren't really for me, they were for Nicole …or me." She told him.
"Something like that." He told her.
Why does he have to be so confusing? Is it so much to ask for him to just admit what he's feeling?
"OK…" She said.
"You dance pretty good for someone who doesn't dance." She told him.
"I never said I can't dance. I just don't." He said.
"So why are you dancing with me?" She asked, hoping for him to give her a hint or anything that said he felt something towards her.
"Well, it's you or Crazy Carrie." He said. She sighed. Nothing.
"Wow, thanks." She said sarcastically.
"Sorry… It's because you look really beautiful tonight… and you're…fun… and you looked like you'd be a good dancer... it's a wedding and people dance at weddings" Luke went on. "Plus, Carrie's boobs would squish me." He said. She couldn't tell if he actually meant the first part or not.
"Better…" She told him.
"You really do look beautiful tonight." He said smiling at her and staring into her eyes.
She was completely speechless. She couldn't even get out a simple 'thank you.' She was just standing there grinning like an idiot as they danced around the dance floor.
This is a signal, right? This has to be a signal… Man, guys really need traffic lights around their necks…red light, green light… That'd be the life…
Then, the dance was over much too soon and people began leaving the dance floor.
"Hey, you wanna go get some coffee at the diner?" Luke asked her.
"You're offering me coffee?" She asked.
"It's your lucky day." He said.
"Shouldn't you stay here, though? It's your sister's wedding…" Lorelai said.
"It's a wedding… everyone's too drunk or to notice. And TJ is trying to convince Liz to let him throw his tights in the air instead of her throwing her bouquet, so that will keep them occupied for 30 minutes at least." He stated.
"OK, lets go." Lorelai said, linking her arm through his.
They walked into the diner, Lorelai took two chairs down from on top of a table and sat down in one. Luke made her coffee and sat down across from her.
"This was fun." She said.
"Yeah." He agreed.
"Liz seems really happy." Lorelai said.
"Yeah, she does… I hope it works out for her this time, you know? Everybody deserves somebody…" He said.
"Yeah… they do." Lorelai said. "Hey, were you serious about the tights/bouquet thing?"
"Yeah." Luke nodded and laughed a little bit.
"Man… that's your family." Lorelai laughed at me.
"Don't remind me."
"Hey, at least, on Christmas you'd know you can't go wrong with an etch-a-sketch." Lorelai told him.
"Yeah." Luke said.
"Or a pair of tights… Maybe fishnets for his birthday." Lorelai said.
"I don't want a picture of TJ wearing fishnets in my head." Luke told her.
Lorelai stared at him for a second. "You're picturing it, aren't you?" She grinned.
"It's your fault!" He said.
She giggled at him for a second or two, and then everything got quiet.
"So, hey don't you want to know what I read about in my diary?" Lorelai asked.
"Of course I do." He said sarcastically.
"The night we broke the bells." She said, hoping she wouldn't regret it later. Maybe she was a little bit drunk, too…
"Crazy night." He said.
"Yeah, we had been fighting… about you and Nicole living together… and those stupid bells were driving the whole town crazy… and so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone and you know… ask you to break the bells with me so we could be friends again." She told him as if he didn't know the story. "Because, I'll tell you Luke Danes, you are not a person I enjoy fighting with."
He nodded and continued to listen.
"And so, you had to get Bert in your apartment so, I followed you up there. Then, we got upstairs and there were dishes in the sink, the bed wasn't made and all of your stuff was still there… I thought you lied about the whole moving in thing… I asked you about it at the church and you started yelling at me, you know, how it's none of my business and stuff… and well it's not, but I hated that you moved. I really hated that you moved." Lorelai told him.
"Why? Nothing had changed." Luke asked, leaning on the table, waiting for the answer.
"That's what you said before, too." She replied. "But before I could answer the Reverend came in and interrupted us."
"I remember." He said.
"Maybe I was jealous." She said. Did I really just say that? Oh God… He's looking at me funny… I really said it…Good going, Gilmore.
"What?"
OK, Lorelai… just make up something crazy… don't say it, don't say it… "Of you and Nicole…of Nicole… having …you." Well, there's no going back now…
"Wh-What?" He asked again.
"I was jealous… I didn't want you to be with Nicole… because I-"
And just like before, they were interrupted…
"Luke! Lorelai!" TJ yelled as he flung the diner door open. "I found you! My turn, I'll count to 20!" He said before putting his hand over his eyes.
Luke stood up and walked to him. "TJ? What are you doing?" He asked.
"Shhhh… Luke, I'm playing hide-and-seek!" He said in a 'duh' tone.
"TJ… we aren't playing." He told him.
TJ un-covered his eyes and looked at Luke and then Lorelai.
"Awwww…" He said. "Hey did I ever tell you guys the one about the elephant?" He said, quickly recovering from the news that he didn't have a hide-and-go-seek partner.
"How can you tell if an elephants been in your refrigerator?" TJ asked.
"I don't know, TJ." Luke said.
"There's footprints in the Jello!" He told them excitedly.
Luke and Lorelai looked at each other in confusion and then Luke spoke up, "I better go bring him back to Liz." He said.
"Um…yeah… I better get going. I still have tons of Inn stuff to do." Lorelai said nervously.
"I'll walk you if you wait 10 minutes." He offered.
"No, no, it's fine. I'll be fine. I'll um… I'll see you later." She said.
"OK. See you later."
Yes, so next chapter will probably be the last.
Once this story is done, I'll be posting some ofthe one-shots I've written and one of the two stories I talked about last chapter, so look out for that.
Also, I have another story out - After it Fades. It's basically what happens after the episode end... Missing scenes, extra scenes,things that should have happenedand just things going through character's head... The chapters aren't extremely long but there is a chapter for every single episode and it's a nice thing to read while waiting for Tuesday to come. So, anyways, check it out.
How'd you guys like that eppy last night? I thought it was pretttttyyy good. I loved Jess in it...But, I wish there was a litte more... and of course I wish there was some Jess/Luke stuff in there. C'mon, we all want to see Jess handing Luke the book he has written and Luke in complete shock but also very proud... Also, the whole Paul Anka-Lorelai-Luke thing was cute... I wish Luke had said something like "she'll be OK.' like he knew Lorelai wasn't talking about the dog, she was talking about Rory. It would have been cute. and Luke getting so excited over girls soccer was cute.. Emily is stupid. 'wait until your father gets home!' ooopssss... oh man that was good. I cannot wait until next week... except I sort of can just because I know what's going to happen... and I also read (spoilerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, you've been warnedddd) that they offered the guy who plays CHristopher a contract for season 7...I'm really really hoping that doesn't mean what I think it means...They wouldn't, would they? I mean, c'mon almost everyone loves Luke and Lorelai...they wouldn't...
Anyway, next eppy should be a crazy one... Glad to see Rory getting back to normal, and I'm glad Jess was the one who made her do it, I hope he comes back for a couple other eppy's.
Yeahh... so enough of that...Please, review
