AN: Seriously…I hate reality…and what ASP is doing to the show.

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
When you're having fun

666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666

"Here?" Lorelai asked confused. "I just had lunch with her yes-" But she was cut off by the bells. Her mother came running in, took one look at Lorelai's shirt, and her features twisted up. She remembered what she came here for and ignored the shirt for the moment.

"Lorelai!" Emily said rushing up to her.

"Mom." Lorelai rolled her eyes swiveling around on her stool.

So this is Emily? Lorelai's mom? Ana thought looking at the scene forming in front of her.

"What are you wearing?" Emily said placing her hands on her hips.

"My shirt got dirty." Lorelai pouted. Rory giggled.

"Rory! My god, I must be losing my mind I didn't see you there." She said plastering a fake smile on.

"Hi grandma." Rory said.

"Yeah, um, mom why are you here?" Lorelai asked.

"You don't think a mother can visit her daughter?" Emily asked. Lorelai gave her a look and Emily sighed. "I kicked your father out." She said as she slumped onto a chair.

"You what?" Lorelai asked a little too loudly causing heads to turn.

"I…SAID…I-"

"I got that part mom. Why?" She asked.

"Your father is incapable of anything." She said crossing her arms.

"You sound like a spoiled child!" Lorelai scolded. Whoa, me scolding my mom? Sounds like Rory and me.

"When do you ever not?" Emily challenged.

"That's beyond the point." Lorelai turned around and saw Luke smirking. She stuck her tongue out and turned back to her mom. "Why are you here? Where's dad living?" Lorelai asked.

"He's living in the pool house." Emily stated.

Lorelai almost chocked on the coffee she was drinking. "Three feet away?" She asked giggling. Rory was stifling her giggles by drinking her coffee.

"So?" Emily asked oblivious to her giggling.

"Why are you here? You have a whole house." Lorelai said. "A big one. Huge. I grew up there for the most part. Remember? Right. I remember it being huge." Lorelai said nodding her head eagerly.

"It's just so big." Emily whined.

"And my point has been made." Lorelai sighed rolling her eyes. "Seriously. A house to big for Emily Gilmore?" Lorelai scoffed.

"I wanted to go somewhere but nobody knew about the separation so I decided to come here." Emily explained.

"Ok. Well I have to go changed seeing as flannel isn't appropriate for me." Lorelai said rolling her eyes. "Come on. Walk with us." Lorelai said rolling her eyes. "I'll be right there." Lorelai said. Rory and Emily left but Emily watched Lorelai from the window.

Luke arched an eyebrow and she playfully slapped him in the chest.

"Shut up." She said.

"Didn't say anything." He smirked leaving into her.

"Oh well." She said shrugging closing the gap in between them. She gave him a kiss and got her purse. "One for the road?" She pouted. Luke rolled his eyes and gave her one last kiss. "Knew you loved me." She said giggling as she left.

Love? Anna's thoughts were racing.

"Let's go." Lorelai said once they were all outside.

"Why walk? Where's your car?" Emily asked.

"Nice day out." Lorelai said evading the question. "My car's at the house." She said shrugging.

"You walked here?" Emily asked.

Lorelai rolled her eyes. "No." Lorelai said.

"I don't get it." Emily said looking at Rory.

"I think Luke took her grandma." Rory said.

Once at the house Lorelai told them to wait and she walked upstairs. She took his shirt off and folded it.

"Lorelai?" Emily asked.

"Jeez mom. Don't do that! You almost killed me." She said putting Luke's shirt in the 'Luke drawer'.

"Don't you want to give that back?" Emily asked.

Lorelai shrugged getting a shirt out. "No." She said smiling. "He must have a billion one of those shirts." She said putting her shirt on. Emily opened the drawer that Lorelai put the shirt in and let out a small gasp. Lorelai turned around and rolled her eyes. Emily was staring at an assortment of Luke's clothes. A pair of jeans, a couple flannels, some pajamas, and other things.

"Does he stay here a lot?" Emily asked. Lorelai shrugged.

"Why did you come up here?" Lorelai asked.

"Bathroom." Emily said walking into her bathroom. Lorelai shrugged and sat on the bed. She tucked her feet under her butt and waited. When Emily came out Lorelai went into the bathroom to freshen up. She placed a black compact next to her seat and she never used it.

Emily was watching the whole time curious as to why she wouldn't use that one. She reached for it and Lorelai stopped her. "Don't touch that one." Lorelai said. Putting some lip gloss into her bag.

"What's in there?" Emily asked.

Lorelai rolled her eyes. "If you don't want another grandchild." She said walking out. "What is it; inform your mother what she doesn't need to know day or something?" She mumbled under her breath.

"What was that Lorelai?" Emily said walking to the steps.

"Nothing." She said cheerily. "Hi Rory." She said walking down glaring needles at her. Rory gave her a look as if to say 'I tried.' Lorelai rolled her eyes and gave Rory a look as if to say 'like hell you did.' Emily watched their interaction.

"Would you please talk?" Emily sighed frustrated.

Lorelai rolled her eyes. And gave Rory one last look before she walked over to the door.

"Mom. You should go talk to dad." Lorelai said.

"No. He's being stubborn." Emily said pointing her nose up.

"And your not." Lorelai stated.

"No." Emily said.

"Yes." Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Spilling wine on the carpet in 9th grade." She said. "You still haven't forgiven me." She rolled her eyes and walked outside.

"So what were you going to do today? I'll tag along." Emily said cheerily.

"Well. I was going to go to work." Lorelai said slowly.

"And I was going to sit at the Dragonfly and do some newspaper things." Rory said.

"Oh you can annoy Michele!" Rory clapped her hands excitedly.

"Fine. She can do that, for today. That's my job." She said smirking. "Let's drive." She said getting into her car.

"Coffee!" Lorelai said running into the kitchen.

"How many cups have you had?" Sookie asked.

"What are you the Luke for the Dragonfly?" Lorelai asked impatiently searching for coffee.

Sookie giggled and so did Lorelai. They were both picturing Sookie in flannel. "My mother's here." Lorelai stated.

"Here, here?" Sookie asked.

Lorelai nodded her head and filled the coffee pot. "She kicked my dad out and apparently she decided to come here." Lorelai sighed and gulped her coffee down. "This'll have to do." She said refilling her cup. "Bye Sook." Lorelai said leaving with her cup. "Michele, answer the phone!" Lorelai called to him. He was reading OK! Magazine not paying attention to anything.

Lorelai rolled her eyes and answered the phone. "Dragonfly Inn; Lorelai speaking." She said her voice dripping with cheerfulness even though she was about to beat up Michele.

"Hey." Luke's voice came on the phone.

"Hey." Lorelai said smiling. "How's it going?" She asked going into a corner where nobody would see her unless they were watching her. Which little to her knowledge her mother was.

"Taylor just came in here." He said.

"Oh yeah?" She asked giggling. "The firelight festival is soon." She said sighing.

"Yeah." He said rolling his eyes.

"And guess whose going?" She asked. "You!" She said before he could answer. She came out behind and corner and went to sit down in the 'living room' of the Dragonfly.

"No." He said firmly but she could tell he was smiling.

"Yes!" She said giggling. Rory came and plopped next to Lorelai.

"Maybe for a little while." He said caving.

"Yes!" She squealed and turned to Rory.

Luke sighed. "I have to go somebody is standing abnormally close to me." Luke said.

"Say hi to Kirk for me!" She said cheerfully hanging up. "Guess who's going to the festival this Thursday?" Lorelai asked Rory.

"No!" Rory said in disbelief.

"Yep!" Lorelai said examining her fingernails.

"You got him to go?" She asked. Lorelai nodded. "You have powers no other woman has." Rory said shaking her head.

"And I have passed my powers onto you!" Lorelai said clapping her hands. "And it didn't even take me that long." She rolled her eyes giggling. Just then Emily came and sat across from them.

"What is this about Thursday?" She asked putting her chin in her hands.

"A festival." Lorelai said.

"For what?" Emily asked.

"Um. I forgot Rory help me. Too many festivals." She said rubbing her temples and giggling slightly.

"I haven't missed a festival since I was one and I still get them mixed up." Rory said leaning back into the couch.

"Firelight! Rory do you remember when I got hit with a paper mashe star last year?" Lorelai asked.

"Are these festivals safe?" Emily asked.

"I think so." Lorelai said. "Taylor supervises them so…"

"They must be safe." Rory said smiling.

Emily rolled her eyes. "Bye." Lorelai said getting up.

"Who was she talking to?" Emily asked.

"Luke." Rory said looking at her mom annoy Michele. "She's happy." Was all Rory said before she got up to go to her laptop.

"I need coffee." Lorelai said going into Luke's. "I got rid of my mother." Lorelai said smiling. "Rory went back to Yale and now I'm here." She giggled. "And we're alone." She said walking up to him.

"Alone?" He asked inching towards her. She nodded her head. That was all he needed. He took her in his arms and kissed her. She complied by probing her tongue in his mouth. He moaned and she inched towards the stairs.

"Up." She breathlessly demanded. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He walked up the stairs and they only broke the kiss to breathe.

"You're amazing." She said making random patterns on his chest.

"I've heard that somewhere." He said. "You're not to bad yourself." He said playing with her hair.

"Yeah?" She asked looking up at him.

"Yeah." He said leaning down to kiss her.

"Thanks." She said snuggling up to him.

"Mmhmm." He said smelling her hair. And then they both fell asleep.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Lorelai woke up to the smell of coffee. She rolled over in bed to find a note.

Made you coffee and food hope you slept well.

Luke.

She drank the coffee and ate the food. Just as she was finishing up Luke came upstairs. He handed her clothes.

"The perfect man." She giggled giving him a kiss. She changed and then tried to fix her hair and make-up but that wasn't working out to well. She called Sookie and told her she'd be in late much to Michele's "dismay". She could never tell if he wanted her there or not. He complained about her being there and then he complained about her not being there. Lorelai diagnosed him bipolar as she went out the back way to her house.

She re-changed and then headed over to the Dragonfly.

"I'm here!" Lorelai announced walking up to the desk.

"Goody." Michele said rolling his eyes. "The boss made her appearance." He sighed going back to his magazine.

Lorelai rolled her eyes to happy to be bothered by him and walked into the kitchen.

"Sorry I'm late." She told Sookie walking in to the kitchen.

"It's ok." Sookie said. "Here try this." She handed Lorelai a wooden spoon full of clear liquid.

"Water?" She asked staring at the spoon.

"Eat it!" She said shoving it into her mouth.

It tasted like garlic but it also tasted sweet. "Amazing." Lorelai marveled at the 'clear liquid'.

"I know!" Sookie gushed. "So…why were you late?" Sookie asked stirring some other sauce.

"Why am I ever late?" Lorelai sighed. "Luke didn't wake me up." She pouted.

Sookie giggled. "You guys are so cute."

Lorelai stuck her tongue out at Sookie and got some coffee. "Won't argue." She said drinking her coffee. "I'm going to go annoy Michele.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

"I'm starving." Lorelai said sitting down in front of Luke.

"Well a hello to you too." He said leaning over to kiss her. She kissed him and smiled.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." He said back. They were lost in each others eyes until the bell rang signaling a new arrival.

Anna and April walked in.

Typical of her to ruin a moment. "Hi." Lorelai said to them.

April offered her a small smile but Anna just stared.

"About that food." She pressed.

"Coming right up." He rolled his eyes going into the kitchen.

"Atta boy." She said giggling.

"Don't…" Luke started.

"Run Butch!" Lorelai giggled even harder.

"Say it." He finished walking into the kitchen.

Lorelai shrugged and poured herself coffee.

Taylor walked in and went straight for Lorelai. "Here. " He said handing her flyers. "Make Luke put them up."

"He's going isn't that enough?" She told him.

"He's going?" He asked in shock. He literally couldn't move.

"I'm his girlfriend Taylor do you think he wouldn't go?" Lorelai asked.

"I suppose that's true." Taylor said. "One flyer?" Taylor begged.

"I'll see what I can do." Lorelai rolled her eyes and took a flyer.

"Thank you!" Taylor said smiling leaving.

Lorelai giggled. "Seriously they think I'm a miracle worker." She said to Anna and April. "He Luke?" She asked into the kitchen.

"Yeah." He said coming out.

"One flyer." She asked pouting. He shook his head and she smiled. "One. In the corner. Nobody will see it." She said looking up at him.

"What if I said maybe?" He sighed looking down.

"Then I'd say hurray?" She tried.

"And if I said yes?" He asked.

"Then I'd jump you on the counter." She smiled.

"Not sure that's in my insurance contract." He smirked.

"Please?" She asked him batting her eyelashes.

"One." He said sternly.

"I knew there was a reason why I loved you." She smiled eating a fry.

Anna felt sick watching them. They seemed so happy she couldn't take it. "I'll pick her up before dinner." Anna said. But they didn't hear her. They were lost in each others eyes again.
