(A/N) Two chapters in one night .. man I'm on a roll!

Labyrith - this chapter is for you!

Lorelai went back to her home in Hartfor a little after 5 since she walked around Stars Hollow with Sookie for the grand tour. She entered her house and immediately ran upstairs into her room. She grabbed the phone and sat it next to her as she pulled out her school books. After an hour of homework she looked up out her window and saw a boy standing there ready to knock on the door.

"Christopher .." Lorelai whispered to herself.

He waved to her as she got up to let him in. He gave her a tight hug and kissed her on the cheek but she pulled away.

"Hey, what's up with you?" He asked irritated.

"Oh, just the fact that you still think we can kiss and all that junk even though we aren't together anymore. Chris, I am not like that .. so please don't do this." she walked over to her bed and sat down as the phone rang. She quickly picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hi. Umm is Lorelai there?"

"Luke?" Lorelai said happily as Christopher raised up his eyebrows and walked closer to her trying to grab the phone. She quickly pulled away and shoving him off.

"Yeah .. it's me. Hey .. umm .. how are you?" noticing something going on in the backround, but didn't think twice about it.

"I'm fine .. just being completely annoyed by some idiot that won't leave me alone. And don't worry .. I'm deffinetely not talking about you." she said giving Christopher the look that says 'get the hell outta here or your done'. He got the message and left. She watched him climb off her balacony as Luke continued.

"Oh .. well .. that sucks. Anything I can do about it?"

"No, it's nothing a little push off the balcony won't fix."

"So .. umm .. you wanted me to call you." It was more of a statement than a question.

"Yep! It was fun hanging out with you today. I really like Stars Hollow too. After having a tour of the town from Sookie, I figured I'd like to hang out there more often."

"You would? That's great because I think it would be fun even though Stars Hollow is just a small town waiting to new gossip. Did you hear about Miss Patty and Babette yet?"

"Yes I did. I actually met Babette today. She seems really nice, kept calling me 'sugar' though. That was weird. And I also met Taylor, he didn't seem to thrilled to meet me."

"Don't mind him, he's just .. well .. Taylor, you'll get used to him once you start to be down here more."

"Well, I would .. if I had an invitation."

"Hmm .. maybe I could find someone to extend you that inviation."

"Oh really? Did he wear a backwards baseball cap and flannel today?"

"I think that's what he wears everyday." he chuckled and letting a grin escape.

There was a soft knock on the door and the maid walked in announcing that 'her presence was wanted downstairs by Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore.' She told the new maid to tell her parents she'd be down in a few minutes. She turned her attention back to the phone.

"Luke, I gotta go. My parents want to talk to me. Probably wanting to know about the 'fine education' I'm getting. Can you call me tonight like after 8:30?"

"Sure, no problem."

"Okay, great. Bye Luke."

"Goodbye Lorelai."

She hung up the phone and smiled and than she had a frown on her face knowing that if her parents didn't want to talk to her, she'd probably be getting excited going back down to the hollow .. with Luke.

She quickly ran downstairs to meet her parents. Her mother was fixing a flower arrangment and her father was reading the newspaper

"Hello mom, dad." Lorelai said announcing her presence. Her mother looked up but her father didn't move his eyes from his paper.

"Lorelai. Sit down and tell us about this 'Stars Hollow'. Did you get along with your teachers? Did you notice if anything was out of place because I could put in a call and tell them to improve it." Emily said in one quick breath.

"School was fine. My teachers were great, nothing was out of the ordinary. I met a bunch of kids that lived in the town and after school I went to this pancake place and had coffee with some of the people."

"Lorelai, you don't even know these people and if they are from the right family. You can not just mingle with unknown families, especially ones that go to a public high school." her mother quickly responded and saying the word 'public' like it was a bad thing.

"No mom .. your wrong. These people were kindly enough to accept me into their circle and show me around the school and town. I don't care if they 'have the right blood'. They are nice and I think I might see more of them." she said with a stern look.

"Well fine than. But before you go there, I think I would rather meet a few of these people. This week. Thursday night."

"But mom .. today is Tuesday .. giving them a 2 day notice?"

"Well you could atleast get 3 of them to come out and spend some time with your parents .. is that to much to ask?"

Lorelai sighed in grief, "No mother .. I could find atleast 3 people to invite over."

"Thank you Lorelai, now you may go back upstairs and finish your homework." Emily said turning her attention back to the flowers.

Lorelai stomped her feet upstairs and back into her room to find Christopher sitting on her bed looking through her books. She closed her door with a loud bang so that he would notice her entrance.

"Hey, Lore .. I'm sorry if things ended badly. I just miss you." he said walking back up to her trying to hug her again, but being uncomfortable as she was, she pushed him away again.

"Chris, get out. Please. I'm moved on from you. I go to a new school .. I'm making new friends .."

But before she could say anything else he interrupted, "Leading deffense-less guys onto you. I hope you had a nice chat with 'Duke' or whatever his name is."

"His name is Luke and don't get mad, he's just someone I met today. And wait .. why should you even care? Your the one that dumped me!"

"Lore, I'm sorry. I made a huge mistake by doing that .. I was hoping that maybe me and you could go to this party at the Jennings."

"No Chris. I'm expecting a phone call tonight and I have homework. So please leave now." she was pushing him towards the window.

"You know me and you are supposed to be together, why do you keep pushing me away? You can't deny your feelings towards me! Whoever this Luke guy is, we both know he can't do what I did."

"Your right! He can't do what you did because me and him are just friends! Your crazy .. you think that we're going to get back together .. but we're not. So you should leave right now .." She gave him another one of the those looks so he climbed out the window.

Right before he shut the window he said, "I'll be back .. expect that."

She walked over to her bed. Tears were starting to roll down her face, before she knew it she fell asleep. She didn't wake up when the maid knocked on the door announcing dinner was done but she woke up to her phone ringing for the 4th time. She looked at her clock and it said 8:47. She picked up the reciever and said in a cracking voice. "Hello?"

"Lorelai, are you okay?"

"Luke? Oh .. yeah .. I'm fine .. just woke up."

"I'm sorry, do you want me to let you go?"

"No. It's fine. I like talking to you on the phone, you seem to make me feel better."

He smiled to himself, "Thanks. And what's wrong that doesn't make you feel good?"

She told him about the incounters with Christopher but left out the part about Luke not being able to 'do what he did'.

"Oh Lorelai .. I'm so sorry. I can't believe a guy would do that. He doesn't have any respect for your feelings. Is there anything I could do to make you feel better?"

She quickly remembered about her and her mothers conversation, "Yes .. actually there is something you could do for me. I don't know how to put this .. but just remember today in lunch I told you my mom is the devil and how she has to approve of everything in my life? Well she wants to meet atleast 3 people from school on Thursday for a dinner."

"And .."

"And I was wondering if you could be one of them people since you seem really nice and you could probably stand a few hours in the lions den. I was also thinking about inviting Sookie and Jackson since us 4 seemed to have a fun time in Al's today."

"Yeah, sure I'll go."

"Just like that? No comments, no pesterring? Just a simple answer 'yes' ?"

"Yeah .. is there something wrong with that?"

"No, no not at all! But I'm just surprised that someone would actually agree to meeting my parents after I described them."

"It's not just the meeting of the parents .. I think it will be fun to be in an actual home in Hartford - especially not on an accident since the person whose house I'm going to actually talks to me."

"Thank you soo much Luke! You are the biggest lifesaver ever!"

"It's really no problem. But you could do one thing for me."

"What's that?"

"Come down Stars Hollow Friday night to go out with Sookie, Jackson, Kevin, Kirk, Andrew, his girlfriend .. and me."

Her smile widened she knew her answer even though all she heard was 'Stars Hollow - Friday night - and me', "I would love to!"

"Great!"

"Okay Luke, I'm going to let you go, I'm hungry because nobody woke me up for dinner and I still have homework to finish. I'll see you tomorrow bright and early. Oh, maybe you could come to my locker again, you might need to help me open it again."

"Okay, no problem. Goodbye Lorelai."

"Bye Luke."

They both hung up the phone thinking This might turn out really well ..
