Friday December 22nd

Lorelai walked out of Luke's and ran into Miss Patty.

"Are you and Rory coming tonight?"

"Yea Miss Patty, we'll be there,"

"Okay see you there," Tonight was Miss Patty's Christmas party. The whole town was going to be there. It was at Miss Patty's studio. She had music and food. It was always one of the things the Gilmore's looked forward too. Lorelai went to work till 7 then went home. Rory was working on homework when she got home.

"Hey you ready to go?"

"Yea I'm gonna change though so give me about 10 minutes," Rory replied. Lorelai ran upstairs and pulled off her work clothes and pulled on a pair of jeans and a red v-neck shirt. She pulled her hair out of the bun it was in and brushed it out. It hung slightly curled at her shoulders. She touched up her make up and ran down stairs. Rory was just walking out of her room and they slipped on their shoes and jackets, grabbed their purses, and left the house. They drove into town and parked in front of Luke's. They walked into Luke's so Rory could get Jess.

"Hey Luke," Lorelai said after Rory had gone upstairs to get Jess.

"Hey Lorelai," Luke said wiping down the counter.

"Aren't you tonight Luke?" Lorelai asked.

"Nope,"

"Why not?"

"I'm not into those kinda things,"

"Aw come on Luke its Christmas how can you not be into Christmas?"

"I'm just not,"

"What are you the Grinch?"

"The what?"

"The Grinch,"

"The what?"

"Never mind, so are you coming?"

"No,"

"Please Luke," Lorelai said using her pout. Luke made the mistake of looking up.

"Fine, only for a little while though,"

"Yeah!"

"What's so exciting Mom," Rory asked as she and Jess walked down the stairs.

"Luke agreed to come to the party,"

"Really?" Jess and Rory said at the same time.

"Yes for only a while though," Luke said. Rory and Jess just looked at each other.

"Well let's go!" Lorelai said.

"I have to finish a little more up, I'll be over a little later,"

"I'll wait for you so I can make sure you come,"

"Okay well were going," Rory said. She and Jess walked out of the diner, across the street, and into Miss Patty's.

"Hey Rory. Hey Jess," Babette said, "Where's Lorelai?"

"She's waiting for Luke,"

"Oh really?" Babette said and walked away to find her partner in crime, Miss Patty.

"Patty, guess where Lorelai is?"

"Um I don't know,"

"Waiting for Luke,"

"Really, what do you think that means?"

"They are together?'

"Let's watch them tonight," The two women stuck together for most the night after that. About 20 minutes later Luke and Lorelai walked into together. Lorelai was laughing either at something she had said or Luke had done. Babette and Miss Patty were by the door and heard Luke say his usually Ah Jeez Lorelai. He smiled slightly and Lorelai was still laughing. They walked around and found Rory and Jess. They got drinks and sat down at a table. Lorelai got hungry so she and Luke got some food.

"Luke have you ever been to this party before?" Lorelai asked seriously.

"No," he answered. Lorelai looked at Luke and their eyes meet for a moment. They held their gaze for a moment then Lorelai looked away. She got kind of nervous at that moment. She took some more food and they went back to their table.

"Did you see that?" Miss Patty asked Babette.

"Yeah something is different between them," There was an area to dance in the middle and people were dancing for most of the time; Kirk and Lulu, Kirk and his mom even once. Jess and Rory danced a couple and Lane danced with Dave, while her mom was back home.

"Wanna dance Luke?" Lorelai asked out of the blue.

"Um I don't dance,"

"Come one Luke please just one dance?"

"Fine," Luke got up and offered his hand to Lorelai. She took it and stood up as a slow song came on. Luke led her to the dance floor and put his hand on the small of her back. Lorelai put her hand on his shoulder. They were close together, but not really close. Jess and Rory were dancing together and saw them and so did Miss Patty and Babette. They let the whole place know that they were dancing and soon everyone was watching in one way or anther. Lorelai felt so safe in his arms. She felt different than when she was with anyone else. Slowly they moved closer without realizing it and soon Luke moved his other hand to her back and Lorelai's other hand went around his neck. They both felt safe in each other's arms, like they were meant to be together. Maybe the town is right they both thought.

"Don't they look perfect together?" Rory whispered to Jess while they were dancing.

"Yea I guess," he replied.

"Look at that Babette," Miss Patty whispered to her.

"Yeah I know, they are so perfect for each other, maybe they will finally realize what we've seen forever," The song ended and they walked back to their table.

"I thought you didn't dance," Lorelai said as they sat down.

"I don't because I don't like to, I never said I couldn't,"

"Ohh,"

"Wanna get something to drink?"

"Okay," they got up and went over to where there were drinks. They got them and then stood in the corner talking. Miss Patty and Babette saw them and saw Luke smile. Luke never smiled, unless he was with Lorelai. They must have felt Babette and Miss Patty's eyes on them because they moved to another area. They disappeared behind a crowd of people and they lost them. They were in the other corner.

"Finally we lost them," Lorelai said.

"Yeah have they been watching us all night?"

"Most of it," they continued to talk. Luke was making Lorelai laugh and when she laughed once she threw her head back and suddenly looked up. They were under the mistletoe. Lorelai stopped laughing quickly.

'What?" Luke asked.

"Look up," Luke looked up and saw the mistletoe. Luke looked back down at her. She wasn't looking at him. She was looking everywhere but him. He suddenly got the courage to kiss her. It was like a sign or something.

"Lorelai," Luke said to get her attention. She looked up. He moved closer and kissed her softly. She didn't react right away, but she kissed him back. As fate would have it at that moment the crowd parted and Miss Patty and Babette saw them.

"Oh my gosh,"

"Holy cow," The kissed ended quickly for them, but felt like a lifetime for Luke and Lorelai. For the first time that Luke had ever seen she was speechless.

"Wow," was the one word she said.

"Yeah that about sums it up," Luke said back.

"Ready to go mom?" Rory said as she walked oblivious to what was going on.

"Um yeah okay I'll see tomorrow Luke,"

"Umm bye," he said. Rory and Lorelai left, Rory still not knowing what she broke up. It was 11. Luke and Jess left right after Rory and Lorelai. Lorelai and Luke were both on cloud 9 and neither of the kids realized it, for a while. On the way home Rory realized that her mom had been really quiet.

"Hey mom, what's up? You're really quiet,"

"Oh it's nothing hun, just thinking," she replied.

"Luke, you okay?" Jess asked as he walked into the wall again.

"What oh yea I'm fine just kinda umm kind of umm preoccupied," he replied.
