Chapter 6

Lorelai walked out into the entrance to the Dragonfly Inn. Some guest were

reading in chairs barely glancing up when they saw her. Luke stood there gaping at her.

He held up in a plastic bag some clothes, makeup and other items that Lorelai had left

over at his place. "Lorelai hi is this a bad time?" Luke asked her. "No not at all." "You

left this in the diner." Luke said. "Right." "You know you don't have to hide." Luke said.

"Great that's just wonderful I'm not hiding Luke. I never hid from you. Excuse me."

Lorelai walked away before she could cry. Luke walked outside looking confused.

Sookie looked at Lorelai. "So not good huh?" "I'm not hiding from him am I? I

just assume it's more comfortable for both of us if I stayed away right now." "No one

said you were hiding." "Luke did." "What is Luke Al Bundy? Look he's had a bad

marriage once left a girlfriend he got pregnant. He clearly has no idea what he's doing."

Sookie said. "Sookie Luke never would have left Anna I'm sure if he knew. He also

unfortunately can be a great guy." Lorelai said. "I still say my Al Bundy was called for."

Sookie said. Lorelai smiled a little.

Rory and Dean ordered a pizza. How many hours had it been since Logan

Huntzburger had left? Forty eight total and she was missing him like crazy. She knew

she had to tell Dean. But she wanted to wait to see why he had come to see what his

intentions were. Good friends she could deal with. More than that no way. She belonged

to Logan and well she couldn't even go back to Jess.

Dean showed her pictures of his baby boy. "Isn't he cute?" Dean asked her.

"Yeah." Rory said. "I just wish Lindsay would let me see him more." "He looks like

you if that makes you feel any better." Rory said. "He does doesn't he?" Dean said

fondly. He put the pictures away. "So how did Yale treat you? We've yammered on and

on and on about me and well what happened with you?" Dean asked. "Well finals for

my first year at Yale is over but my boyfriend has graduated." Dean looked at her.

"I haven't forgotten Rory." Dean said. "Well first loves are hard to forget." Rory said

lamely. "Dean my boyfriend has graduated." "I hear you say that but what's that mean

for you guys?" Dean asked. "Dean I remember what happened don't you? We had no

time to see each other and then you yelled at me in front of my grandma's house and in

front of my future boyfriend who we are still together. Out." Rory told him. Dean sat

up. "Fine. Clearly you have become apart of their world just like Lorelai feared." Dean

left. Rory stared at the ceiling. She called Paris. "Are Madilene and

Louis still going?" Rory asked her. "Yes and so am I by the looks of it." "Good count me

in." Rory made a long distance call to London that night.

Editor's note: would it be her first year of finals over or her second? I think it's her first. Let me change that. I don't own anything to do with Gilmore Girls.
