A/N Thank you to the people who reviewed. You guys are awesome.

Disclaimer- If they were mine, Luke and Lorelai would have been married 5 years ago. So, I don't own them.

Chapter 2 Taking Off

Luke's internal clock had him waking up at 5 a.m. the next morning. He couldn't wait to spend a whole week with Lorelai. He carefully slipped out of bed, trying not to awake his sleeping fiancée, and went downstairs to make coffee. Lorelai would be needing coffee if she was going to get out of bed at 6 a.m. After the liquid death was made, Luke started making breakfast, chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, and bacon. He put the breakfast on a tray with the coffee and carefully climbed the stairs to Lorelai's bedroom. When he got to the entrance of her bedroom, he just stood there for a moment admiring his beautiful fiancée. After he snapped out of his trance, he went over to her bed and tried to shake her awake.

"Lorelai, wake up", He said while gently shaking her.

"Mmmm, go away", Lorelai grumbled while to tried to hit Luke.

"Lorelai, you have to get up. We have to leave the house by 8 in order to board on time" Lorelai just grumbled in response.

"Lorelai, I've got coffee" Luke said while waving her bright pink Hello Kitty mug

around near her face.

Lorelai immediately sat up at the mention of coffee. "Coffee, where?"

"It's right here. If you go take a shower, get ready and dress, you can have it."

"Can I at least have a little, tiny sip?" indicating with her fingers the little.

"Nope, you have to go get ready first." Luke pointed to the bathroom.

"Fine" Lorelai pouted.

"Go."

"You know, we might save time, if you took your shower with me," Lorelai smiled seductively.

"Well, if it's about saving time, then I guess I can help." Luke teased.

2 Hours Later

"Lorelai, hurry up! We should have left by now!" Luke yelled at the bottom of the stairs. Lorelai had been up there for an hour.

"Almost done!"

"We're just flying on a driving to the cruise all day then boarding it! Why does it matter what you wear!"

Lorelai descended the stairs in a pair of jeans and a pink t-shirt, her hair curled. "Because Lorelai Gilmore always looks her best!"

" I still don't understand, but whatever. Let's go."

"Hold on, I'm just gonna call Rory to tell her goodbye."

"I don't think you need to do that" Luke said shifting from one foot to the other.

Lorelai got a confused look on her face. "Why?"

"You'll see. Let's go." Luke said gesturing to the door.

"Luke! Tell me!"

"You'll find out in a little bit. Now let's go."

"Fine, I'll just pester you in the car about it."

"Looking forward to it, come on."

"Fine, I'm coming." Luke put his hand on the small of her back and guided her out to the car.

After 3 hours of driving in the car

"Luke, will you tell me now?"

"No, I've told you every time you've asked about the call to Rory that I'm not going to tell you what I meant."

"Luuukkkkkeeee, I need to know!" Lorelai whined.

"Stop whining."

Lorelai pretended to be offended. "I am not whining. I am simply stating my needs."

Luke looked at her, pretending to be annoyed. "Fine you're stating your needs very loudly and obnoxiously."

"I've got one thing to say to you, mister. Hoooow rude!"

"You know, when you say that, people could mistake you for a 3 three year old. Not like you act any older anyways, though."

Lorelai playfully slapped him then settled back in to her seat. She was enjoying their bantering. One thing that hadn't changed when Luke and Lorelai went from being just friends to a couple was their bantering and Lorelai enjoyed every minute of it. "I do too act like I'm older than three. I act like I'm this many" She holds up 5 fingers, while saying this proudly, with her head held high.

"Oh, well in that case, I'm sorry." Luke says sarcastically. He didn't know about Lorelai, but he secretly loved their banter fights. He, of course would never tell Lorelai that, for he pretended to hate them and be annoyed with her.

Lorelai sighed. "When are we gonna be there!"

"About 30 more minutes." Luke replied, while glancing at Lorelai.

Lorelai looked at him with wide eyes. "I can't wait 30 more minutes! I haven't had any coffee since this morning, thanks to you."

"Just trying to have you live past 40."

"As long as I die with my coffee, I'll be happy."

"You know, when we're married, I won't let you bug me about not drinking coffee."

Luke loved when she referred to them getting married. "No, when we're married, you're going to cut back on your coffee intake."

Lorelai took a big intake of her breath. "How can you ever think such a thing!"

"Don't know, but I'm gonna try."

"Don't get your hopes up."

"Oh, I'm not, trust me."

They arrived at the boarding dock.

"Lorelai, we're here." Luke said stepping out of the truck to go to open Lorelai's door.

Luke opened Lorelai's door. "We're here?"

"Yep, get out and we can get our bags and hand them to the people to put on the ship." Luke helped Lorelai out and then went around to the back of the truck to get their bags out."

Lorelai and Luke gave their bags to the person who puts the bags on the cruise ship (anyone know the name of the person who does this?)

"Luke, since we still have a little bit of time, can we go look around at the stores?"

"Yah, actually let's go down to a little coffee shop down here. You might want to hurry down there, there's a surprise waiting for you."

Lorelai got excited. "A surprise?" Really!"

"Yep, better hurry."

Lorelai took off running down to the coffee shop with Luke right behind her. She ran in to the coffee shop and saw her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend sitting in a booth, drinking coffee.

Lorelai ran up to Rory and Logan. "Rory! What are you doing here!"

"Well actually we're going on the cruise with you. Luke invited us."

Lorelai shrieked then hugged her daughter. "Yay! Luke set this up? How long have you known?"

"Since last night when I helped you pack."

"So you knew when I asked you if you knew where we were going?"

Rory looked at the floor, sheepishly. "Yah, Luke asked me not to tell you. It was so sweet of him to invite us. Where is he anyways?"

"Well I ran all the way here, so he should be here soon. I can't believe he did this. God, I love him."

"Go tell him, he just walked in."

Lorelai ran to Luke and jumped into him (dirty, I know) he caught her, luckily.

"Thank you so much, Luke!"

"Your welcome." He just hugged her tighter.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too." Lorelai kissed him sweetly. They both didn't care that they were kissing right in the middle of the coffee shop. They just wanted to be together.

"Lorelai, we better stop. Our cruise is taking off in 5 minutes."

"Okay, let's go. C'mon Rory and Logan." Logan and Rory witnessed the scene take place. They were so happy for them. Rory loved Luke and couldn't wait for him to be her step-father, although he's like her a real father to her.

Luke, Lorelai, Rory, and Logan went down to the dock.

A loud speaker came on and announced it was time to board.
