"Dad?" Rory said, shocked.

"Hey kid." Chris said.

"You have to go." Rory said.

"Why?" Chris said.

"Oh no rea—"

"Rory who is it?" Lorelai said as she went to get Rory, "Chris."

"Lorelai!" Chris said.

"What are you doing here?" Lorelai said.

"Christmas of course." Chris said.

"I am spending today with Luke and Rory and this Tristan guy. Did we invite you? Because I don't remember doing so." Lorelai said.

"Listen I came to say hi, and to tell you I'm sorry." Chris said.

"For what?" Lorelai asked.

"Never being there for you and Rory." Chris said.

"Heh, Chris…."

"Lorelai?" Luke walked to the doorway, "What is he doing here?"

"I'm still trying to figure that out." Lorelai said.

"Lets go." Luke said.

"Okay, just hold on." Lorelai said.

"Lorelai wait." Chris said.

"Chris! I am tired of waiting for you! I do not care whether you are finally ready to be with me! You have lost your chance! Actually you lost your chance first time you left us! I just wasn't willing to let you go, but now I am." Lorelai said.

"Lor—"

"No. Leave." Lorelai said.

"Fine. Bye Rory, goodbye Lorelai." Chris left. Luke came back holding Tristan by his shirt.

"I've got the guy, let's go." Luke said.

"Okay." Lorelai said.

XXXXXXXXXX

Later that afternoon, at the diner, Lorelai brought up a strange topic.

"Wow." Lorelai said.

"What?" Luke asked, "You forgot to take your usual dosage of sugar that you usually eat at Christmas time in the morning?

"Well…yeah but that's not it! I just realized something, you always call me Lorelai, and I always call you Luke." Lorelai said.

"And you just realized that?" Luke said.

"Well, no…but yes, it's just so boring!" Lorelai said, with a distressed tone.

"Okay." Luke said.

"No, it's just we need nicknames for each other! We'll start with you, how about…Lukey, huh? Huh? What do you think?" Lorelai said.

"No." Luke said.

"You're right, it doesn't fit. How about the Lukester?" Lorelai asked.

"The Lukester?"

"Right…."Lorelai said. She thought for a moment. Then she gasped.

"What?" Rory said, she was paying no attention whatsoever to the conversation Luke and Lorelai where having.

"Oh, nothing. I just had a stroke of brilliance." Lorelai said. Luke looked up from the coffeepot.

"I never thought I would ever hear those words coming from you." He said.

"Very funny…Lukey charms!" Lorelai said. Luke stared at her for a moment.

"No." He said getting back to work.

"Come on Luke! You're pretty lucky to have me a your girlfriend and you have that sort of small town charm that no one can resist!" Lorelai said.

"True." Rory said, jokingly.

"Still, no." Luke said.

"I have your nick-name." Lorelai said ignoring Luke. "You need to give me one!"

"Okay. How about, Lorelie's?" Luke said.

"What?" Lorelai asked.

"Nothing. I've got it Java Junkie." Luke said.

"Very funny Luke." Lorelai had a strange look on her face, "Hold on…your name is Lucas."

"And?" Luke said.

"Nothing. I just wanted to make fun of you. But the best way to make fun of you is to call you Lukey Charms!" Lorelai said.

"Okay." Luke said.

"I am going to go see Sookie and give her a gift, be right back Lukey Charms."

"Alright, Java Junkie." Luke said.

"Okay these nick-names, just don't work for me, I'll be right back, Luke." Lorelai said kissing him and walking out the door.

XXXXXXXXX

Rory was sitting in the diner talking to Tristan when she paused.

"Rory? Are you okay?" Tristan asked. She let out a small sob.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Rory said, starting to cry a little more.

"Rory, what's wrong?" Tristan asked.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking of Jess." Rory said letting out another sob.

"Oh, now I get it." Tristan said.

"It was just yesterday and I feel horrible that I was having a good time today." Rory said.

"Well, I would. But it shouldn't stop you from having fun." Tristan said.

"Well, it probably will." Rory said.

"Well, I really do understand, but it's your choice." Tristan said.

"I know."
