Chapter One:

SCENE ONE:

Lorelai enters Luke's diner in the morning in a caffeine frenzy.

Lorelai: "Where is the coffee? I don't see coffee-Luke please don't tell me you are out!"

Luke: "Sorry to say yesterday you drank the very last cup left on this Earth. You are going to have to wait a couple years for the coffee bean plants to grow again in Brasil."

Lorelai: "VERY Funny Luke!"

Luke: "Here you go. (hands Lorelai a cup and starts filling it with coffee) Want Anything else?"

Lorelai: "Some scrambled eggs with Bacon would be nice."

Luke: "Coming right up." ( He walks to the kitchen to get the order.)

Lorelai watches as Luke leaves to the kitchen. There is something different she thought, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was. Right then Luke brought back her food.

Lorelai: "Hey Luke, did you get a haircut or something?"

Luke: "No, I haven't gotten one in months, why? You been watching that queer eye show again?"

Lorelai: "No, just you seem different that's all."

Just then Lorelai's cellphone rings, Luke Points to the 'No Cellphones' sign and Lorelai walks out of the diner to take the call. While she walks out Luke looks at her. He thought to himself about her. Was she starting to see him in a new light? What was he thinking? Lorelai was too crazy for her own good-he didn't like her-well then why couldn't he get her off his mind these past couple of weeks?He just hadn't been with a woman in months and he felt lonely-that had to be it.

Lorelai is talking to Rory on her cellphone

Rory: "Hey mom, I have some bad news..."

Lore: "Rory do not tell me you can't come to movie night tonight!"

Rory: "Okay, so I guess I won't say anything."

Lore: "RORY!"

Rory: "Sorry mom, I have a huge paper due tomorrow and I can't seem to get it right-rain check?"

Lore: "You better hope it rains soon!"

Rory: "Thanks mom! Why don't you invite someone else, I mean you already have it set up and all."

Lore: "Yeah maybe...well I guess I will let you go and write your 'paper'."

Rory: "Alright Love you bye."

Lore: "Love you too, bye kid."

Lorelai walks back into the diner

Lore: "Okay so my own daughter bailed on me. I guess there is no movie night tonight!"

Luke: "I never got your fascination with movies. I've seen like 10 and I can live with myself."

Lore: "Alright, that is it, you are coming over to my house to watch a movie and that is final!"

Luke: "Hey-What-since when? I said I was fine! Oh Geez!

Lore: "7:30 my house—BE THERE!" (she smiles and points)

Luke: (sighs) "Fine I'll be there but don't expect me to enjoy!"

Lore: "Trust me, you will! See yah later Luke!"

Lorelai walks out of the diner

SCENE TWO:

Luke's Apartment

Luke putters around his apartment in a frenzy. It is 7:00 and he can't seem to get ready.

Luke: "What is wrong with me. Just wear a shirt and pants. Why are you trying to dress up-Damnit!"

He stumbles around and decided on a plain blue t-shirt and a pair of nicer slacks. He checks his hair in the mirror before he leaves and walks downstairs into the diner, grabs the food he made earlier, and heads out the door to Lorelai's

Lorelai's House

Luke rings the doorbell and he hears a shout from Lorelai

Lore: "Come on in! Be down in a second!"

Luke walks in to see coffee table packed with food and a movie sitting in the VCR

Luke: "Why do I even bother bringing food?"

He sets the food down on the ground and takes off his jacket only to want to put it quickly back on. Lorelai starts to walk down the stairs. She is dressed in long pants, long shirt, a sweater, and earmuffs.

Luke: "What's wrong with the heat in your house?"

Lore: "It decided to go out on me! First Rory, then the heat! Who knows that will be next!"

Luke: "Don't worry. I'll start a fire."

Lore: "Are you going to set my house on fire cause if you are, let me go grab the marshmellows first."

Luke: "Well I was thinking of your fireplace, but whatever you think is best!"

Lore: "SO that's what that is for!"

Luke: "I'll go grab some wood, I'll be right back."

Lore: "My very own lumberjack! I've never had that before!"

Luke: "Oh geez! (Luke walks out the back door and comes in with some wood to put in the fireplace) So what movie are we going to watch tonight?"

Lore: "I was thinking Dante's Peak-a little ash and lava yah know."

Luke: "Sounds good- ha there got it! (The fire starts in the fireplace) Alright, well the room should heat up pretty soon. So how about starting that movie?"

Lore: "Alrighty! Beer? Cheese puff"

Luke: "Beer-yes. How do you not weigh 800 pounds by now?"

Lore: "Mystery-sshhh the movie has officially started!"

Luke and Lorelai sat about a foot apart from one another on the couch. During the movie when it got more and more intense Lorelai moved closer to Luke. By the end of the movie, both of them were fast asleep with Lorelai resting on Luke's chest and Luke with his arm around Lorelai. The morning came and Luke is still fast asleep while Lorelai is awakened by the phone ringing.

Lorelai grabs the phone and it is Rory

Rory: "Hey mom!"

Lore: "Hey kid, how did your paper go last night that you ditched me for?"

Rory: "Went fine. I finished it at like 3 am though. How was your movie?"

Lore: "It was cool-literally! The furnace went out and thank god Luke was here cause he knew how to make a fire in the fireplace."

Rory: "So Luke watched a movie with you with a fire going? So how was this date?" (she laughs)

Lore: "Rory, don't say that!"

Luke starts to wake up

Luke: "Hey Lorelai, I am sorry I'll just leave..."

Rory: "Was that Luke? Did he spend the night?"

Lore: (to Luke) "No really, it's okay-just, uh, go make some coffee. I'll be in there in just one second."

Rory: "MOM! What is going on!"

Luke: "Alright..." (he walks into the kitchen)

Lore: (Once Luke leaves the room...) "Yes Rory, Luke spent the night, but it's nto what you think. We fell asleep during the movie. It was so innocent! Rory, nothing happened!"

Rory: "Did you want anything to happen?"

Lorelai thought to herself. Maybe she was seeing him in a new light. Was that what is was at the diner? She was so confused-she had always seen him as the man who gave her her air everymorning-coffee speaking. Did she seriously have a crush on Luke-Luke Daines? Too much was running through her head.

Lore: "Rory, I don't know, maybe..."

Rory: "Would it really be so bad mom? Luke has always liked you. He is such a nice guy, why not?"

Lore: "I don't know hun, we will see alright? But I have to go, coffee is awaiting me."

Rory: "Alright, but mom..."

Lore: "Yeah"

Rory: "Just keep an open mind."

Lore: "I will try, love you kid."

Rory: "Love you too bye!"

Lore: "Bye" (She hangs up with Rory and heads to the kitchen)

Lorelai heads into the kitchen and sees Luke standing infront of the coffee pot just staring off into space.

Lore: "Hey sorry about that Luke."

Luke: (startled) "Oh...it is okay. Here your coffee is ready." (He hands Lorelai a cup of coffee, she takes a sip.)

Lore: "Perfect, just the way I like it."

Luke: "Yeah...perfect...So, uh, Lorelai I better get back to the diner.

Lore: "Oh, Okay, yeah that's right. Well I guess I will see you later then. I'm probably going to go to Luke's for dinner, so I will see you then."

Luke: "Soudns good, see you then." (Grabs his coat and heads out the door)

Lorelai stands in the kitchen not quite knowing what she was doing. She wasn't confused anymore-she had feelings for Luke, but she wasn't quite sure if he shared these same feelings. Okay so maybe he has been acting a little different this week, but everyone has an off week. She would just have to see how dinner at Luke's went tonight.
