"Are you still on a three?" Lorelai asked as Luke carried their bags down, she was referring to his anger.
"More like a two now" Luke grunted taking the bags outside.
"What can I do to make that two a zero?" she followed him outside.
"What you did last night made my anger go down considerably"
"You're not a two, are you?" Lorelai faked shock, and Luke chuckled. Once the bags were on the truck he walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I'm not a two, but I like it when you try to cheer me up" he teased before kissing her.
"Good, now I'm a two" Lorelai said when they pulled apart.

They had signed in, and had received a bunch of instructions of a few medical tests they were taking and a few more papers they needed to sign. After all of that was done, they were left to socialize with the other five couples. Luke felt extremely uncomfortable since everybody kept eyeing them, one reason was because they were older and the other was because they weren't dress for the gym like everybody else.
"You owe me" Luke whispered in her ear.
"For the rest of my life" Lorelai assured and sealed the deal with a kiss.
"I like the sound of that" Luke whispered unconsciously.
"What?" Lorelai asked and Luke's eyes popped opened but before he could say anything they were interrupted.
"You're Luke, right?" a guy asked, he was hugging the pettiest woman Luke had ever seen.
"Yes" Luke answered still a little out of it.
"I'm Adam and this is Rebecca" the guy pointed at the small girl by his side.
"Hi" Luke said, he was kicking his own ass at the moment. Lorelai jabbed him on the ribs so he'd wake up.
"I'm Lorelai" Lorelai said with a smile and extended her hand to them. "And you already know Luke so… wait, how do you know Luke?"
"He's an observer" Rebecca said. "He knows the names of everybody here"
"Really?" Lorelai sounded amazed.
"You're from Stars Hollow Connecticut" Adam said and Lorelai's eyes popped out a little.
"It actually gets annoying with time" Rebecca said. "Is he ok?" she frowned looking at Luke.
"Umm yeah, he's just wishing he could turn back time" Lorelai said with a smile.
"You screwed up huh?" Adam teased and that finally snapped Luke out of his trans and noticed how close Lorelai was to him, obviously wanting him to swing his arm over her shoulders to show a strong front to their 'enemies'.
"Screw you, Tony!" a female's voice was heard.
"I'm guessing he messed up more than you" Lorelai teased Luke.
"That's Tony and Carmen, they fight… a lot" Adam informed them.
"You might just come in handy to us" Lorelai teased.

Lorelai told Luke to just forget about before because they needed to concentrate on tomorrow if they didn't want to be one of those two couples who were going home. Luke had nodded but he still couldn't kick off how easily he had responded, how easy it was for him to see a long future with Lorelai; that had never happened before, with anyone. Luke had always thought that if he ever got the chance with Lorelai, that he wouldn't screw up and when he finally did get the chance, he never gave much thought to a long future because he was concentrating in the present fearing that if he thought of a future he'd jinx it. And now all he could think of was how much he wanted a steady future with Lorelai, a long steady future with her. But like Lorelai had said, right now they had to focus on tomorrow and not getting their asses kicked by a bunch of twenty year olds.

When they got there they saw a big water tank and Lorelai instantly shuddered and clung more to Luke's arm. After they shot the whole walking in scene they went closer to the tank. Joe Rogan began explaining the point of the stunt but Lorelai didn't pay attention; she just kept staring at the tank. Luckily for them another couple had been picked to go first.
There was a room outside the tank, a sealed water proof room. The room was separated into two smaller rooms so it looked like a living room and a bathroom. The whole room would be lowered into the tank once the girl was inside. In the bathroom the girl would be handcuffed to the shower head while pig's blood fell on her. The guy was given a keychain set with five keys; one of them opened the door to the room which would make water start to flow into the room. Once inside the guy had to look for an axe and brake down the door that lead to the bathroom, he then had to resource to the keychain set and look for the key that opened the handcuffs. Once free both the guy and the girl had to swim to the surface, whoever did this the fastest would advance and the two couples who'd finish last would leave.
Lorelai saw, with big eyes, how the first couple tackled the stunt. She clung to Luke's arm as they both watch the room fill with water and the guy struggle with the handcuff.
"You won't let me drown, right?" Lorelai asked in a whisper.
"No" Luke whispered back and lost whatever respect he had for the other guy when he un-cuffed the girl and left her there to swim back by herself.
"Time!" Joe Rogan yelled "You guy's did it in three minutes and fifty eight seconds" he announced. "How did it feel when he left you behind?" he asked the girl once she and her guys were out of the tank, the girl only pushed the guy back in and walked off.
There was a pause as they prepared the whole stunt again. They killed time by filming whatever 'advice' the couple who had just finish the stunt had for the other competitors. After about half an hour everything was set and Joe called for another couple.
The guy quickly swam down to the sealed room and opened the door, water flowing in. He made a serious mistake when he ran for the door and started looking through his keychain set, he forgot he needed to look for an axe, by the time he remember he needed to look for an axe the water was already reaching the girls neck. When the guy finally had the door opened the girl called it quits and two men dressed as scuba divers helped her swim out. The guy swam out by himself and cursed as soon as he resurfaced.
"I'm sorry but since she called it off, you're both eliminated" Joe said.
"Couldn't you wait! I was right there!" he started going of at his girl, the camera filming everything
"Did you get lost? What the hell took you so long!" the girl shot back.
Half an hour more passed and Luke & Lorelai were the third couple to go. They both went to change into their bathing suits.
"Please don't take too long" Lorelai begged a little scared.
"I won't" Luke reassured her was she kidding? How could I take long knowing she could drown?
"And remember you have to axe the door down" she said with a little smile and Luke nodded.
"Don't worry about anything. Well, just about the pigs blood in your hair" Luke added with a smirk.
"Ready?" Joe asked, Lorelai grabbed Luke's cheeks and gave him a quick kiss.
"Hurry up" she said sternly before walking off to where the handcuffs awaited her.
Luke dived into the water and swan as if a life depended on it, which it kinda did. All that track in high school must've worked for something because he had great muscles on his legs. He got to the door in no time and found the key in three tries; he got inside and found the axe in no time. It only took Luke two good strong hits against the door for it to crumble and him to swaddle inside, the water now to their waist.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry" Lorelai said, Luke had committed to memory what key had opened the door and he made sure not to use it, which saved time. By the time he got the cuffs off, the water was starting to reach Lorelai's neck. Luke pulled her out of the 'bathroom' and dragged her out of the other room. Once they were out of the room and in the tank he pushed Lorelai so she'd swim faster and get to the surface sooner.
"Time!" Joe yelled; after they both took a deep breath Lorelai threw her arms around Luke's shoulders.
"You hurried" she said in awe.
"Told you" Luke smirked.
"Two minutes and thirty seconds!" Joe said and Lorelai shrieked before planting a kiss on Luke's lips.
It seemed like forever, to Lorelai, before they were all finished. Since there had been a 'never before' tie, two other couples had left that night. So right now there were only Luke and Lorelai, friendly Adam and Rebecca, and crazy Tony and Carmen.
Carmen had gone off yelling at Tony for taking too long, and making them the second fastest couple; of course Luke and Lorelai were the fastest.

"Thank you for not taking too long, or just leaving me there" Lorelai said as she dried her hair, it had taken forever to get the pig's blood out of it.
"I told you I wouldn't, and I could never do something like that" Luke turned off the TV and turned to look at her.
"Huh, good to know" she walked over to where he was. "You moved pretty fast for an old man" she teased and sat sideways on his lap.
"I'm not old" he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Of course not, because that would make me old, and I'm not old" Lorelai smiled and kissed him. "Hey?"
"Wha…?"
"Do you want to know how thankful I am for you rescuing me?" she nuzzled his neck.
"I'd love to, I'd really really love to but I'm dead tired" Luke sounded a little down.
"Ok, but only because you went to extremes to save me" she smiled and kissed him also before getting up.
"Hey Lorelai?"
"Yeah?" she turned around with a slight smile.
"I love you" he told her with a smirk.
"I love you too, babe" and she skipped back to the bathroom, Luke turned the TV back on when the bathroom door closed. Ironically enough he found an episode of FearFactor on TV.
Do you still want to know what happens next? Or is it too weird, or gross?
Did you like the whole Luke 'superman' thingy? Tell me what you thunk.
