"Butch's Got A Girlfriend!"

Disclaimer: I own the love of Gilmore Girls! Thanks to all my readers/ reviewers!

As Luke pulled in front of the potting shed he noticed Lorelai watching out the window. He turned off the engine and got out of the car.

Knock Knock...

The door opened quickly, and Lorelai pulled him in.

"Ouch...why are you pulling me?" Luke asked as he was pulled inside.

"Because it's cold and I don't want to freeze tonight."

Luke looked around the small room. It was a pale white. The room was cold and the air had the smell of dirt. He searched the room for Lorelai's belongings. One small suitcase sat on the cot.

"Where's all your stuff?" Luke said shivering.

"That's it." She pointed to the suitcase. "The rest of the bags were Rory's."

"Oh." Luke shivered again. "It is freezing in here."

"Yeah. Just a little."

"If you want I could check out the heater and see if it's working."

"That would be great." Lorelai pointed to a small door that only a child could fit through. "That's it over there."

Luke walked over to the door and opened it. He peered into the dark, smelly, cobweb infested closet.

"Eeeww." Lorelai peeked in beside Luke. "What is all that gross stuff?"

"You probably don't want to know." Luke said pulling the string that hung above his head in the closet. "Make some hot tea and get warm. I'll have this working in no time."

"But I don't know how to make tea."

"You don't know how to make tea?"

"No. I'm not really a cook."

"You don't cook tea."

"Well I'm not a baker either." Lorelai said scratching her head.

"You don't bake tea."

"Well then what do you do with it?" Lorelai asked dumbfounded..

"You boil water, then you put tea bags in it and let it sit for a while. After a while you pour into a tea cup and you drink it."

"Well what do you call all of that?"

"Making tea." Luke said shaking his head. "Just get Rory and you two get warm while I start a pot of tea."

Lorelai got Rory and sat on the cot watching Luke "make tea". She watched him grab a pot and fill it with water, then saw him put it on the stove and turn on the burner.

"Wow." Lorelai said when Luke finished.

"It's not that hard." Luke said turning to the heater.

"It looked it." Lorelai paused. "Thanks."

"For what?" Luke turned around from fiddling with the heater and looked at her square on.

"Everything. The heater, the inn...the tea." Lorelai said laughing at "tea".

"I told you I would be glad to help." Luke replied while turning around to finish the heater.

Wwwwwwwhhhhhhhhooooooooooo...

"What is that noise?"

Lorelai was laying on the cot with Rory sleeping next to her. She was watching Luke fix the heater when the tea pot went off.

"Tea's ready." Luke wiped his hands and walked to the stove.

"Already." Lorelai propped herself onto her elbows.

"Yea." Luke pulled out two teacups and filled them with tea. "Here." He handed her the teacup.

"Ummmm. It tastes good."

"It's good for you too."

"As long as it tastes good I'll like it."

Luke just shook his head and went back to fixing the heater.

An hour later Luke had got the heater working and was getting ready to leave.

"Thanks again for helping with the heater." Lorelai said as she rocked Rory.

"No problem." Luke answered patting a sleeping Rory. "Since you can't cook..."

"Or bake!" Lorelai interjected.

"Or bake, I was wondering if maybe you would want to eat dinner with me and my dad and sister?"

"That would be nice. Won't your mom be there?"

"My mom died when I was 12." Luke rubbed his neck. "Anyways dinner is every night at 6:00. I could pick you up if you want."

"That would be great since I don't have a car."

"Then it's set. I'll see you tomorrow at 6:00."

"Right." Lorelai answered smiling.

"Good. 6:00." Luke said smiling while walking backwards out the door. "I'll pick yo..."

Luke fell hard on his back.

"Oh Luke, are you alright?" Lorelai said as she bent down to help Luke up.

"Fine, just fine." Luke brushed himself off and got up. "I'll pick you up at 6:00."

Luke ran to his car and started it. Lorelai waved then turned and went back inside.

When Luke arrived home his father noticed something different.

"Where were you son?" William asked Luke as he came down the stairs.

"At the inn." Luke tried to rush past his father.

"Why are you so dirty?" William put his hand on Luke's shoulder.

"I was helping a friend."

"A lady friend?" Liz, Luke's sister, asked from the livingroom.

"Shut up Liz!" Luke yelled.

"With what? Digging a grave?"

"No dad. I was helping her out with a heater."

"So it is a girl." Liz yelled from the livingroom.

"Will you stay out of this!"

"Was it the same girl I heard that you took to the inn. The one with the daughter?"

"Yes." Luke mumbled.

"Butch's got a girlfriend!"

"I'm going to kill you if you call me Butch one more time!"

"Aww. Poor Butch is getting mad."

Luke jerked out of his father's clutch and ran upstairs into his room. William shook his head and walked into the livingroom.

"Lizzy you need to stop pestering your brother."

"He deserves it."

"Lizzy."

"Fine."

William sat with a paper in his hand and Liz with a magazine, but all she could think of was Luke having a girlfriend and how mad Kerry was going to get.

Butch's got a girlfriend!
