"Alright. Start her up!" The mechanic yelled from underneath the hood.
Luke turned the ignition key and the truck began to purr. "That's incredible!" Luke laughed. "It's never sounded so great."
The mechanic smiled. "I've been known to preform a few miracles in my day."
"Thanks a lot." Luke said stepping out of the truck and shaking the hand of the mechanic.
"Well, now, you're welcome." he replied. "Just promise me you're going to take good care of this sweetheart here." He pointed towards Lorelai.
"You can count on it." Luke answered. "Thanks again."
Luke and Lorelai hopped into the truck and once again headed towards their promise land.
After a few minutes of driving, Luke glanced over at Lorelai. "What you did back there. With the money."
Lorelai smiled. "Don't worry about it."
"Oh, I'm not." Luke replied. "I just wanted to say, I like the idea of you and I building a life together."
"You do?" Lorelai asked intrigued.
"Yeah. I think we'll be good at it." Luke licked his lips. "In fact, I don't think I could ever do it with anyone else."
Lorelai gazed into Luke's dark brown eyes. "I love you." she ended with a smile.
"I love you." Luke repeated.
"Richard! Christopher is here!" Emily called from the living room.
"I'm coming!" Richard called back.
"Emily, I just wanted to reassure you that I will not allow any harm to come to your daughter." Christopher boldly stated.
"I trust you wont." Emily replied.
"Well, Christopher..." Richard began. "We should be leaving."
"Yes, sir."
Richard kissed his wife good bye and the two "men" headed out the door.
"I believe our best bet is go to west." Christopher replied as he closed to the door to the BMW.
"West?" Richard asked. "How so?"
"Well, with all due respect Mr. Gilmore there is far more places to get away from you if one was to proceed west, than any other direction."
"Hmmm." Richard thought for a moment. "I suppose you're right."
"You do have a recent photo of Lorelai?" Chris asked.
"Of course I do." Richard replied proudly. "One of that Danes boy, too." Richard pulled the picture out of his bag.
Chris studied the picture of Lorelai and Luke. They looked very much in love. This only infuriated Chris even more so. Lorelai was his girl and no one else could have her. He had been in love with here since he knew what love was and he was not going to lose her to some back yard boy toy.
"This guy looks like a prick." Christopher spoke before realizing the company in which he was in. Immediately he back tracked. "I'm sorry Mr. Gilmore, excuse me."
"It's quite all right, Christopher." Richard replied as he pulled out of the Gilmore Driveway. "I couldn't agree with you more."
A couple of hours passed and Lorelai's stomach was beginning to grumble. "I could go for a cheese burger right now." She randomly stated.
"A cheese burger?" Luke asked. "Do you ever eat anything healthy?"
"I get vegetables on my cheese burger." Lorelai replied sheepishly.
Luke smirked. "What's your favorite burger restaurant?"
"Burger King."
"They do have the best burgers."
"I thought you was a health nut."
"I splurge occasionally." Luke answered.
"So the next one we see, you'll stop?"
"I'll stop." Luke smiled.
