"Lorelai?" Luke called when he entered the house having received a strange call from Lorelai about being stuck.

"Up here." She called.

"Where exactly?"

"Just follow my voice."

When he reached the top of the stairs he saw a toppled over ladder and a pair of legs dangling from the ceiling.

"Lorelai what did you do?" He asked.

"I came to find the outfit Rory wore for her baptism for Libby and the ladder fell over and I got trapped."

"Did you find it?"

"I remembered it's in a box in top the closet after the ladder fell down."

"Do you want me to put the ladder back up or do you trust me to help you down?"

"Don't drop me." Lorelai told him as she started to lower herself down. Luke put his hands on her waist and helped lower to the floor, when she was low enough Lorelai wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. "My hero."

"Good thing you took your cell phone with you."

"I know otherwise I would have been stuck up there until you got home."

"You could have figured out where the dress was before you got up there."

"I thought it was up there in a box, but that was the outfit she wore on her first day of school."

"You kept that?"

"You'd be surprised what I kept." Lorelai told him.

"Okay."

"Can you stay a while?" Lorelai inquired. "Or do you have to get back the diner?"

"Jess is in charge and Cesar's there." Luke replied. "I can stay a while good."

"I'll show you how grateful I am." Lorelai kissed him.

Luke was whistling when he got back to the diner an hour later.

"That's a long break." Jess looked at his watch.

"Coming from the guy who took a break for an hour just so he didn't have to talk to his step-father."

"Since you came back whistling and the label on your shirt is sticking up, I'm not going to ask what you were doing."

"Lorelai was looking for Rory's baptism outfit in the attic and the ladder fell down so she got stuck."

"And it took a whole hour to rescue her?" Jess said not believing him. "Did she find it?"

"Yes."

"Good."

"Jess." Cesar called.

"Yep." Jess walked over and grabbed the plate. "Thanks. I'll be back."

"What?" Luke asked.

"You asked me to work late tonight, so this is Rory's dinner." He took the plate of meatloaf and mash potatoes upstairs.

"Hey." Rory looked up from where she was sat on the bed reading.

"Dinner." Jess set the plate on the table.

"Thanks."

"And I think Lorelai made a booty call to Luke."

"Don't go any further with that statement or I'll loose my appetite." Rory requested.

"Okay. By the way Lorelai found your baptism outfit."

"That's great." Rory smiled.

"How are the plans going?"

"Sookie's going to cater; we're going to have a small thing at the Dragonfly afterwards. It's pretty much organised."

"You invited everyone you want to come?"

"I invited all the important people, since Miss Patty and Babette know who turns up will be up them since it's a church we can't stop them."

"Sounds like great fun." Jess sighed.

"Thanks for dinner." Rory told him.

"Cesar made it." Jess shrugged. "I should get back to work."

"Okay." Rory gave him a kiss.
