"Luke, these pancakes are burnt…" Rory pouted

Christopher was just watching her with a withering eye. He didn't know what to think about the past events. He just looked down at his black food and up at the man standing in front of him.

"I know Rory. I really don't know what has come over me to where I can't even cook a damn pancake. It's not like I didn't want to make the pancake and so I left in on the stove so it would burn but whatever that is how it turned out now didn't it!" Lorelai said mostly to herself.

"Jeez Luke I just said the pancakes were burnt. Can I talk to you? In private?" Rory said not so subtly by gesturing her head toward the back.

"Um, sure." Lorelai said and followed her when she went behind the curtain. "What do you need?"

"Well I was wondering if you…this is weird." She said looking down

"What is it?" She said looking kind of nervous

"Well, I kind of wanted you to ask Mom…"

"Ask mom what?" she said urging her daughter on

"Maybe you two could go, like, on a date." Rory said quickly.

"Date? Uh, why would I do that?"

"Well dad is in town and I know mom doesn't want to be with him but maybe if you go out with her then my dad won't bother her any more. Just a suggestion." She said slightly embarrassed that she was having this conversation with Luke.

"Rory, I don't know."

"Luke mom really likes you."

"I do not!" Rory gave her a confusing look, " I mean…I really don't think she does." She backtracked

"Luke…what is going on? You and mom both are acting super weird today."

"No we're not!" She said

"What is going on?" Rory started to get a little frustrated

"Okay, you cannot tell a damn soul what I am about to tell you. You got it?" She said quietly

Rory nodded

"I woke up this morning…in Luke's body."

"Okay Luke, no offense but maybe that coffee you sipped this morning got to your head."

"No Rory it's me…listen, this sounds super crazy I know but I can answer any question that you want to ask me that you think I, your mother might know."

"Okay…" Rory thought for a second, "What is the TV show we watched last night before we went to bed? And, what did we talk about."

"The show we were watching last night was a rerun of friends…and we were talking about how funny it was that it took Ross forever to say that Russ couldn't get out sentence (a cookie to who ever can guess which episode that was…). And we were also talking about how it was dumb that I was mad at Luke." Rory couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"You really are mom aren't you?"

"Yes Rory what part of that don't you get?" She said

"Alright…um well, forget I said anything about you liking Luke…So wait…that means Luke is in your body?" Lorelai nodded, "Oh! He's going to have FUN."

"Rory! Not cool. What if he does like fondle with me or something?"

"Okay EW…my mind is burning as we speak."

"Sorry its just I really don't like the fact that I am in a man's body."

"Well I wouldn't know how to handle it…you know Luke always wears flannel is there anything good under there?" Rory said with a smile

"You wouldn't believe…he has abs and pecs and everything…" Lorelai smiled as she remembered.

"Why are you smiling?" She said with a smirk

"We should go back in there…"

"If you backtrack any more you may just run into the staircase." Rory stated with a cheesy smile on her face.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"You like Luke! Or at least his body." She laughed.

"Shhhh, people can here you! Just go out there and be with your father. Oh my God Chris seen me as in my body with out a shirt…" She said worriedly

"Yeah and the entire town saw Luke…He probably felt just as embarrassed as you do now."

"Well Luke doesn't have women parts…you know, boobs."

"Yeah well it really doesn't matter. Any way back to our previous subject. I think you should ask Luke out." Rory said with confidence

"What? No! I am not going to ask him out." She pondered for a second, "Well he has always been there…and he treats us really well. He's really sweet. Boyfriend material, maybe I should. No. Not possible."

"Mom! It is possible. Luke likes you. He has for a while and it is painfully obvious. Please just give him a chance." Rory said desperately.

"Fine, I guess. I'm going to talk to him today and we're going to figure this thing out." She gestured toward the front

"Oh, well that is good. I'm glad. Just don't forget to try. For him." She smiled and walked out into the diner and sat beside her dad.

"What was that all about?" Christopher said taking a sip of his coffee.

"Oh, Luke wanted to show me one of his books." She said sitting down

"Huh. That sounds nice. What book was it?"

"Uh…Anna Karenina."

"Good book."

"Yup."

"Where is it?" He asked.

"I already have it."

"Then why did you have to see it in there? With Luke?" He was raising his voice a bit

"Dad, what is your deal? I just wanted to see it okay?"

"No Rory! Not okay! You go behind the curtain with some man that I don't even know,"

"DAD! He is Luke! I know him! Good grief what is with the third degree?"

"Just the fact that he could have done something."

She gave him a bitter laugh, "Luke is like a dad to me."

"Hey,"

"NO, okay he was there for me and I was asking one simple question to him and you go and blow up like that." They didn't hear the bell jingle when Luke walked in and gave Lorelai a strange look. The entire diner was looking over at the two and Luke stopped in his tracks. "You don't understand okay! Luke has been a better dad then you have, no offense though."

"Luke is not your dad! Luke didn't impregnate Lorelai…Luke is nothing but a sorry sap looking for some family that he can just waltz up on and take over because he doesn't have a damn family of his own."

Hurt was apparent on Luke's face and he walked toward the curtain. Lorelai followed right behind him.

"Luke…"

"No, Lorelai don't even start okay?" He sat down on the bed and took of the heels that were bothering him all day.

"I was going to say, would you like a sandwich?" She tried to lighten the mood, "You know, now I understand why you wear these clothes. They are so comfortable." She caught a little smirk forming at her own mouth. "Wait…what is that? Is that a smile?"

"You're ex is a jackass."

"I know…why do you think he's my ex?"

"Because you ran away from home and left him there?"

"Well that too." She smiled over at him then sat beside him on the bed.

"That hurt."

"I know Luke, and I am so sorry that you had to hear that."

"You're not my friend because I don't have family. I love Rory and…and you." He was staring at his hands.

"And you know, I really care for you. You are one of the best friends I have ever had." She was looking at him meaningfully.

"Your job sucks." He smiled

"So does yours. It's hard."

"I told you didn't I?"

"Yeah, yeah you did."

"And your job is hard too." He looked at her.

"I told you didn't I?"

"Yeah, yeah you did." He repeated.
