Okay I hope you guys like this chapter, but I need more reviews if I am going to continue writing. There will be some conflict coming, so it will get more intense. And I updated this chapter really quickly, so I must get points for that right:) Please review!

Phone Calls
Rory was sitting in her dorm room writing an article for the Yale Daily News, when her phone began to ring. She desperately tried to finish her train of thought, before the voicemail kicked in.
"Hi." Rory said into the receiver, while adding the last bit of punctuation to her article.
"Whoa, five rings that time. I was one ring away from having to hear that annoying little message that you insist on keeping as your voicemail message."
"Why is it annoying? It is a perfectly normal thing to say on a voicemail message."
"Yes, but its not what you say, its how you say it. You say it in your sweet voice."
"What sweet voice? I don't have a sweet voice. All my voices are the same."
"Oh, I beg to differ. You definitely have a sweet voice. It's the voice you use when you talk to old people… Or strangers… You want them to think you are all cute and nice."
"Oh so I'm not cute and nice? I bet you don't even have a sweet voice."
"You know I changed my mind. I'd rather be talking to the voicemail."
"Okay, just drop it." Rory decided to end their playful argument. "Why did you call me?"
"What? You're the one who called me!" Lorelai joked.
"Mom!"
"Fine. I need your expert Yale advice."
"I'm listening."
"Well, Luke asked me to go to his cousin's wedding with him."
"Awww, that's so sweet! I knew Luke had a thing for you! What did you say?"
"I didn't get a chance to say anything, because Sookie's hair was on fire, and I had to rush to the inn."
"Oh… Well what are you going to say?"
"You see, that's the problem. I don't know what to say. I don't know if he is only asking me as a friend or if he is asking me as more than a friend, if you know what I mean. What do you think?"
"Okay. Well we all know that Luke likes you, but if you really want to know for sure, Luke is the only one that can tell you, so ask him."
"I don't want to ask Luke! How awkward is that? I reject your advice. I'm taking my business elsewhere."
"One last piece of advice, before you shun me forever for just telling it like it is."
"And what it that?"
"Say yes!"
Lorelai hung up the phone and was left alone with her thoughts about Luke. If Rory isn't going to give me any useful advice then I will have to think of something myself. Lorelai lay on her couch thinking, but she soon found herself on the phone dialing Luke's number.
"Luke's Dinner." A familiar voice answered the phone.
"Hey Luke."
"Hi." He instantly recognized her voice. There was a bit of an awkward pause, while Luke walked into the quiet storage room and shut the door. "So, did you think about what I asked you?"
"Actually yes I did. That's why I'm calling. I kind of have a question for you."
"Okay." Luke shifted his stance slightly.
"Well, when you asked me to go to your cousin's wedding with you… Umm, did you mean going just as friends or as," Lorelai cleared her throat uncomfortably, "umm, or as more than friends?"
This question took Luke completely off guard. He never would have expected Lorelai to ask him this. She usually wasn't this forward involving things like this… Well not like he would know anyway.
"Luke?" He was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he had completely forgotten that he was still on the phone with Lorelai, and that she was waiting for his response.
Now it was Luke's turn to clear his throat uncomfortably. "Well I asked you to go as friends." Damn that was stupid, Luke thought. I could have had a chance with her there and I just blew it. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
"Oh, okay. That's cool." Lorelai was embarrassed that she had even asked. But she was a little disappointed at his answer, even though she wasn't completely sure why. What did I think he was going to do? She thought. Confess his undying love for me or something? And this shouldn't bug me, its Luke. My friend Luke. Just friends.
"Okay then. I accept you invitation." Lorelai said, recovering from the shock of all that had just happened.
"Well, I'll see you this Friday. Its only a weekend thing so you don't need to bring that much stuff."
"You do realize that that has absolutely no affect on my packing arrangements?"
"Yeah but I thought I would try. See you later." Luke sighed and left the storage room.
"Bye." Lorelai said, as she hung up the phone, and went to look through her closet for the perfect outfit for the wedding. This might call for a shopping trip, Lorelai thought as she climbed the stairs to her room.
