"We should get home before it gets dark." Lorelai said looking outside the diner window.

Rory and Lorelai grabbed their belongings and headed out the door.

"You two be careful." Luke called after them.

The walk home seemed a lot longer than usual. The sun was setting, and the evening glow had filled the air. Rory took notice in things that now seemed creepy. A cant suddenly dashed across the side walk making both girls jump.

"This is silly." Lorelai said calming herself down.

"Let's just get home." Rory replied.

Finally after what seemed like hours, the Gilmore girls reached their house. They quickly walked in, shut, and locked the door behind them.

"Okay…" Lorelai said taking off her jacket. "That wasn't so bad."

"Compared to what?" Rory asked.

"Compared to…. Watching a movie staring Paris Hilton?" Lorelai teased.

Rory giggled. "Point proven, and accepted."

(Later that evening)

"Hey, Rory do you want pizza?" Lorelai asked peeking through Rory's bedroom door.

"Sure." Rory replied, not looking up from her homework.

Lorelai walked back into the kitchen and pulled the pizza box out of the fridge. As she was placing the cold pieces on plates, she caught a glimpse of someone standing at the back door. She screeched and dropped the pizza onto the floor. Rory came running in.

"Oh my god, Luke!" Lorelai yelled. She walked over and opened the back door. "Why the hell would you do that?" she asked frantically.

"Do what?" Luke asked.

"Stand by my door like that." She continued to scold.

"I was about to knock." Luke grumbled. "I just wanted to make sure you two were okay."

"Well, you could have called." Lorelai defended.

"Sorry." Luke turned to leave.

"Where are you going?" Rory asked.

"Home." Luke answered shortly.

"No. Stay." Lorelai added. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you like that. I'm just a little freaked out about the whole Taylor thing."

"I understand." Luke said changing his mind about leaving.

"You want some pizza?" Lorelai asked as she scooped it up off the floor.

"No thank." Luke replied.

A couple more hours passed and Luke was finding himself really enjoying Lorelai's company. Which he had always enjoyed it, but this time he was enjoying it n a different way.

"So, Rory was like 5 years old, right." Lorelai laughed. "And she had just watched an episode of I Love Lucy."

"Oh, god." Rory replied rolling her eyes. "Not this story again."

"And she had arranged her room too look like the Tropicana. She had all her stuffed animals sitting as the band members and she was pretending to be Ricky. She had this huge drum that Miss Patty had given her and she was making the most god awful noises ever."

"I was trying to sing in Spanish." Rory clarified.

"She actually did a remarkable impression." Lorelai laughed.

Luke grinned. He liked hearing the stories of when Rory was a kid. It made him feel like he was really getting to know the girls better. Suddenly he looked at his watch.

"Oh geeze" he said leaning forward. "I've got to get going."

"Aw, come on, one more embarrassing story." Lorelai made a sad face.

"I'd love to, but I need to take care of some things back at the diner. It's getting late anyways."

"Well, alright." Lorelai smiled. "Promise you'll randomly stop back by again though."

Luke returned a smile. "I promise."

Lorelai locked the door after Luke and turned around facing Rory.

"Well, who knew Luke was such a company keeper." Rory replied.

"Yeah." Lorelai agreed. "It was nice having him over." She quickly changed the subject "So, it's late. I think I'll head on up to bed."

Rory's eyes widened. She had noticed how far away their rooms were away from each other.

"Why are our rooms so far apart?" Rory abruptly asked, catching Lorelai way off guard.

"Huh?"

"Our rooms." She repeated. "Yours is upstairs mine is down."

"Yes.." Lorelai agreed.

"So, if someone was to break in, I'd never be able to get to you. You'd probably not even hear me call for help. And of course I'd be the first target, cause I'm on the bottom floor" Rory finally stopped her ranting.

"Wanna sleep with me tonight?" Lorelai asked.

"Yes, please." Rory smiled.
