An: Hey! Thanks for the reviews. Only 13 out of the 490 who read the last chapter reviewed! What was that all about? I shouldn't be really updating for you right but I am because this chapter isn't as long as I promised. It's part 1 of 'The Date'. Well thank you too the 13 who cared and reviewed.

Disclaimer: I own nothing it's all ASP. I do however have season 4 DVDs.

Now here's the next chapter!

Chapter 4- I remember Rune the Loon!

"Rory!" Lorelai yelled downstairs. "Where are my black strappy, pointy heel shoes?"

"Huh?"

"You know those shoes that are closed toed with the silver buckle."

"Oh you mean my black strappy pointy heel closed toed with silver buckle shoes?"

"Oh, well in that case. Rory sweetie my favorite daughter in the whole wide world, can I borrow the black strappy pointy heel closed toed with silver buckle shoes please? I'll be your best friend."

"I hope you don't say that to all of your daughters."

"Well you are the only daughter I have, that I know of. So is that a yes or a no?"

"Hmm, I'll have to think about that."

"Roorrry!

"All right my favorite mother in the whole wide world, you may borrow the shoes."

"Great, can you bring them up here?"

"Sure." Rory said coming upstairs. "Here you go."

"Thanks sweets."

"Mom you look great!" Lorelai was wearing a knee length black velvet dress held together by spaghetti straps with a V-shaped neck.

"Thank you." She spun around in a circle like a model.

"Hurry up; we have to be at the restaurant at 7:30."

"I'll be down in a second."

Rory goes downstairs. A few minutes later, Lorelai comes downstairs.

"Rory lets go." Rory comes out of her room and drives Lorelai to the restaurant.

Meanwhile at the Restaurant

Luke got to the little Italian restaurant in Hartford at 7:30 on the dot. He waited for a waitress to seat him.

"Reservations?" the waitress asked.

"Yeah, Mariano," Luke replied.

"Right this way sir." The waitress led him to a booth. "Here you are."

"Thank you." The waitress left. A few minutes passes and another waitress came up to him."

"Would you like a drink?" she asked.

"Yes please white vine," Luke said wanting to pick a better drink than beer to make a good impression.

Rory dropped Lorelai off at the entrance to the restaurant.

"Now the reservations are under Mariano. I'll be at Luke's if you need anything," Rory told her mother.

"Ok, bye mom," Lorelai joked.

She walked inside and the waitress came up to seat her.

"Reservations?" the waitress asked.

"Mariano," Lorelai replied.

"Right this way." She followed the waitress to the table.

Luke had his head buried in a menu.

Lorelai and the waitress got to the table.

"Here's your table," the waitress said.

Luke looked up.

HAHA I wouldn't do that to you. I know you all were waiting for this. We already had to wait through the summer for 'THE ANSWER' which might I add wasn't that worth it because it was lamely answered. (Lol) Let's not get off track now. You all are probably think Oy with the rant already. (Lol)

ON WITH THE STORY!

"Lorelai?" he said. 'Well he was right about the women being a tall brunette leggy with blue eyes.' Luke thought.

"Oh my god, Luke, what are you doing here?"

"I can ask you the same thing."

"Rory said I was supposed to meet someone, a friend of-" Lorelai sat down and began laughing really hard.

"Lorelai what's so funny?" Lorelai continued to laugh.

"I can't believe I didn't think of this before. I've been thinking, who this guy that both Rory and Jess could set me up with. I mean who could the possibly know someone without ever leaving Stars Hollow. But it never occurred to me that it could be you."

"How do you think this is all funny?" Luke wondered.

"I'm just so happy I didn't get set up with another Rune."

"Are you talking about 'Rune the Loon' Rune as in 'Jackson's cousin here from out of town' Rune? The one you wanted an anvil for?"

"Yup, that's him. The guy I went out with only because I knew I couldn't let Sookie and Jackson down. Well at the end he ended up leaving and I played Five Card Draw with you oh and they Mrs. Kim ran in. Wow I have a good memory."

"Well that was an unforgettable night."

"Yes it was."

"What was Rune's problem again? Luke asked and the waiter brought two glasses and a pour vine into them.

Lorelai took a sip, "Apparently, I was too tall for him."

Luke started cracking up.

"How's that so funny?" Lorelai asked.

Luke couldn't help it.

"You're to short for me?" He continued laughing.

"Ha-ha, very funny."

"I'm sorry I couldn't help it."

"Well Rune is long gone and that's all that matters. So what are we going to do with the issue?" Lorelai said pointing between the two of them.

"What are we suppose to do about?"

"Well Rory lied to me to get me here. That's a problem. I'm guessing you were lied to too?"

"Jess didn't lie to me; he just didn't tell me who it was. He described you right, that's for sure."

"Well I guess they played The Parent Trap card on us."

"The what?" Luke questioned.

"Oh please don't tell me you haven't seen Parent Trap?"

"I can't say I have?"

Lorelai tells Luke about the story of Parent Trap.

"So, what do we do?" Lorelai asked. "Do we stay and eat or just leave."

"Let's stay. They did go through a lot of trouble to get us here and all. Rory had to lie to you to get you here."

"Yeah, I guess we should stay." She picked up the menu and began to search for something to eat.
