A/N: More descriptive chapter. What? Too much?

Patty and Babette entered the diner the next morning during the breakfast rush, which was twice as big as usual because not only was it a Saturday, but soon another one of the town's crazy festivals would start.

The two town gossips sat at the counter and were eyeing Luke suspiciously. "Might as well get this over with," Luke muttered before approaching them. He knew it had to be something, there was always something. He pulled out his ordering pad, "And what will you two have?"

"Morning goregeous." Babette started, "We'd like to know who that sweet girl was you and Lorelai were moving into the upstairs apartment. Andrew saw you guys yesterday and the whole town is curious and wants to know who the mystery girl is."

As if on cue Piper entered the diner with Charlie on her heel, following her as close as he could get. Luke saw her and seriously thought he might be having an attack of some sort. There she was, standing in the middle of his diner wearing her pajamas.

She had on a pair of dark blue, silk shorts with little yellow stars and moons all over them, a yellow tank top, and she wore the shorts with the waist band rolled up a few times. He noticed she had a simple black chain anklet on and black painted toe nails and finger nails. And to top the outfit her hair was pulled back into a messy tie. Her face was flushed and eyes were dazed from sleep, she looked like she had literally just woke up.

Piper walked straight to the counter. She was seemingly oblivious of the stares coming from the morning customers that were directed at her in a very obvious manner. She sat down on a stool, Charlie lay at her feet, and she turned to Luke. "Dad, I need some coffee."

Luke saw a group teenaged boys staring at Piper from their table. They had finished their meals a while ago and now were all staring at Piper and making comments to eacother in hushed voices.

Luke had also noticed that even in her layed back attire she still looked great. Her legs weren't skinny, but they were muscular and not at all flubby. Luke made a mental note to ask her if she played any sports. Piper had lost her baby fat and had an hour glass shape that curved in at her waist. She didn't have overwhelming, discusting muscles like those female body builders, but she did have slightly muscular arms, stomach, and body overall.

He had never made a point of noticing what Piper looked like, but now that he had and he saw the boys reacton to her, Luke immediately went into defense mode. He stormed over to the table, "It's a busy day and people need tables. If you're done eating I suggest you leave before I get so sick of you staring at my daughter I throw each and every one of you out of here with force!"

The boys were slowly sinking farther in their chairs and all were getting paler and shaking. Luke stared at them expectantly but all were too scared to move. Piper walked over, stood next to her dad, and said, "Go."

The boys didn't need her to tell them twice, so they bolted. Luke went behind the counter and started to pour Piper coffee while she took her seat. Patty and Babette were sitting next to her and both looked shocked at the scene they had just witnessed. "Dad, please just give me the cup." Luke was holding the cup of coffee he had poured just out of Piper's reach.

"Your mom wants you to come to the inn after you have breakfast … and get dressed."

"Her mom. It's Lorelai, sugar?" Babette asked.

Piper decided to field the question for her dad. "No, my biological mother's name is Rachel. But since she died, I'm going to live with my dad, Luke, who my mother never told about me. She was afraid that if Luke knew about me he would want me. And since she wanted to travel around the world and take me with her, any court would see dad as a more stable parent. I call Lorelai mom because she's practically already my step mom."

"Rachel? The girl who broke your heart?" Patty asked Luke.

Luke nodded and Piper said, "That sounds like her. Dad, the cup. Pleeeeeeeease!"

Luke was rethinking actually giving the drink to her. "You know that coffee is bad and will ultimately lead to your death. Drinking it is bad for you and your health. And I can't believe you brought your dog into my diner!"

"Dad, we're temporarily living in the upstairs of this place," she said in a tone that can only be described as 'duh'.

"I know. But the dog is not allowed in the diner."

"What do you want me to do with Charlie every time he wants to go outside? Toss him out the window?"

"Charlie? Is that the name of this adorable creature?" Patty asked.

"Yes, it is. Hi, my name is Piper, by the way."

"I'm Patty, sweetheart and this is Babette."

"Hello, gorgeous. You look simply adorable!" Babette said while feeling the silk of Piper's shorts.

"Thanks." Piper giggled and blushed slightly. She slid the cup of coffee towards her that Luke had forgotten as he went to take the orders of two new customers. He returned, gave the order to Caesar, and frowned at Piper as she drained the last of the coffee in her cup and gave him a big smile.

"You know Maury and I were always cat people," Babette told her and Piper turned in her seat to more easily listen to Babette and Patty talk about their pets over the years. Luke smiled, but then he noticed a yellow star and moon outlined in dark blue on the left of the back of Piper's neck.

"What is that?" Luke half yelled at Piper. She quickly realized what he was talking about.

"It's a tatoo, dad. Madre let me get it."

"I can't believe that you have a tattoo! Piper …" At this point Luke was definitely yelling.

"Look, we knew that she was dying and since our whole lives have been spontaneous we went out and did whatever madre felt like doing. We got matching tattoos and everytime I see it or someone comments on it I think of her. And I'm not going to let anyone make me feel bad about it for even a second!" And with that she stormed up the stairs already practically in tears with Charlie following.

Luke yelled to Caesar to take charge, quickly followed Piper, and found her sitting with her knees tucked up to her chest on a messy bed made up with a gummy bear themed bed spread. Luke walked over to her, sat down next to her, and held her while she cried. He made a mental note to be more sensitive towards his daughter.

A/N: Awww. Touching moment. Gummy Bears on the Bedspread! I love the reviews, keep 'em coming.
