They were on the bus.
"Hey, Rory, come sit next to me." Lorelai said.
"No. I want to sit alone." Rory said sitting in an empty seat.
"Lorelai, come sit here she wants to be alone, and I understand, I'm sorry Rory." Luke said grabbing Lorelai's arm and having her sit down.
"It's okay." Rory said.
"Oh, Luke she's so unhappy." Lorelai said leaning her head on Luke's shoulder.
"I know, I'm sorry, I hate having Rory sad almost as much as you, she's such a great girl." Luke said stroking both Lorelai's hand and hair.
"Luke, why did this happen to my girl? She's heart broken. Why did he have to be sent home?" Lorelai said.
"He crossed the line, I warned him, I really did, I promise." Luke said.
"Luke?"
"Yeah?"
"I-I-lo-appreciate this." Lorelai said.
It was later that day, and Rory wasn't happy the rest of the day, Luke and Lorelai, weren't happy because Rory wasn't happy, so it was an unhappy day.
"I'm really, really sorry." Rory said.
"It's okay, it's not your fault, it was Jess, and well, Jess." Luke said scratching his head.
"Luke, I think she needs some time alone." Lorelai said grabbing his arm
"Lorelai, and someone else!" Said a voice coming from the crowd.
"Oh no!" Said Lorelai hiding behind Luke.
"What?" Luke said.
"It's Christopher."
"Hey, Lor. Who's this?" Chris said.
"I believe you know Luke." Lorelai said coming from behind Luke, "The coffee shop owner."
"Oh yeah, I remember now." Chris said.
"Nice to see you again Christopher." Luke said.
"What're you doing with him?" Chris asked Lorelai.
"I'm spending Christmas, with him." Lorelai said.
"Oh, so I take it you wouldn't want to come spend Christmas with me." Chris said.
"Well, you'd be right." Lorelai said.
"Okay, bye." Chris said, "Oh, and I'll be staying for a while, I'm deciding if I'm going to move here or not, bye."
"Move here?" Lorelai said.
"Yeah, bye."
Lorelai looked dumb-stricken.
"Lorelai? Are you okay?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Lets go." Lorelai said taking Luke's hand, Luke smiled.
He frowned again. "Do you still, you know, love him…Chris I mean." Luke asked.
"No, no." Lorelai said.
"Really?"
"Of course not." Lorelai said.
"Really?" Luke said smiling.
"Yeah, really, I don't love Chris anymore, get over it!"
"Sorry." Luke said.

Rory was sitting inside the diner as Tristan walked by and walked in.
"Hey, Rory. Merry Christmas!" Tristan said.
"Hi." Rory replied.
"What's up?" Tristan asked, noticing she was sad.
"Nothing." Rory said.
"Where's Jess?" Asked Tristan, Rory started crying:"Rory what's wrong?"
"Luke made Jess, stay in New York." Rory said.
"Stay?" Tristan said.
"Me and Jess went to New York today."
"And got back in one day?"
"Yeah, it was only a couple of hours being there, then three hours in a bus, and now it's Nine o' clock." Rory said.
"Yeah, so you miss Jess?" Tristan said.
"Yes, of course!" Rory said.
"So now would be a bad time to ask you to dinner?"
"What? Dinner? No, but I might turn you down." Rory said.
"Will you?"
"Will I what?"
"Will you go to dinner with me?"
"No, but I will drink coffee with you, maybe…I don't have anything else to do." Rory said.
"Fair enough."
"Let's just wait for Luke and my mom to get back."
"Okay."
XXXXXXXXXX
Luke and Lorelai were walking around town just looking at the lights and holding hands.
"Luke?" Lorelai said.
"Yeah?" Luke replied.
"Can we sit down?" Lorelai asked.
"Sure." Luke said.
"Thanks."
They walked over to a bench and sat down.
"This is nice." Lorelai said leaning on Luke, and still holding his hand.
"Yeah, this is nice." Luke said looking down at Lorelai and kissing her the top of her head.
Luke?" Lorelai said.
"Yeah?"
"I…Never mind." Lorelai said.
"Alright."
"Luke?"
"What?"
"Sorry, I ruined your Christmas eve."
"You didn't, in no way possible did you ruin this day, in fact you probably made this my best Christmas eve, I've ever had, sad isn't it?" Luke said sighing.
"No, it's not sad. It was a pretty good day…mostly, but right now, I'm really happy." Lorelai said looking up at him smiling.
"I'm glad, but tomorrow is Christmas day, and hopefully it'll be a better day." Luke said.
"Yeah." Lorelai said.
"Okay, lets get back to the diner." Luke said standing up.
"Alright." Lorelai said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They got back to the diner, and Rory and Tristan were sitting inside talking.
"Hey Rory, hey Tristan." Lorelai said, "Wait a minute, Tristan what are you doing here?"
"Oh, me? Oh, I'm just hanging out." Tristan said.
"Hey Luke." Rory said.
"Yes?" Luke said.
"Could you get me and Tristan and maybe mom some coffee?" Rory said.
"Oh, sure." Luke said.
"Me and Luke will go upstairs." Lorelai said.
"No we won't." Luke said coming back with three coffees.
"Why?" Lorelai asked.
"Just, because." Luke said.
"Will you excuse us for a moment, thanks." Lorelai said pulling Luke away from the table.
"What?"
"Luke!"
"What?" Luke said.
"Why won't you leave Rory and Tristan alone?" Lorelai said.
"I…just don't want to…" Luke said.
"Luke, she's a big girl, besides she liked Jess, remember?"
"Yes, but she was stupid there too." Luke said, laughing a little bit.
"Luke! Come on!" Lorelai said punching him.
"Fine." Luke said as Lorelai pulled him back to the table.
"We'll be upstairs." Lorelai said, now pulling him upstairs.
