A/N Hey guys! Thanks to everyone who reviewed.

Goclo92-Thanks! It'd be cool if Rory helped them get back together! I have always pictured her storming in to Luke's and telling him to go back to Lorelai or something.

Nikkitan89- Thanks!

BluJPlover- June 3rd? Why June 3rd? That's a sad day! Yay, I get to be maid of honor! I liked your ideas. Thanks!

Abbey06- I agree with you. They should get back together ASAP. There was an interview with Lauren and she said that ASP was going to make L&L end up together no matter what and that the new writer thinks the same way. Anyways, thanks for your review!

Kristen- Thank you so much for your review. Yah, Rory & Logan are happy and I think I might keep them that way. Not sure yet though.

Gilmorefanatic14- Thanks!

Disclaimer: If I owned it, Lorelai's dream in the 3rd season would have come true by now. I don't own it.

Starting the Journey

Luke asked a person who worked on the ship to guide them through the ship. He agreed only after Luke offered him twice what he was being paid now. Lorelai came up by Luke and held his hand. Luke, Lorelai, Rory, and Logan followed the guy who worked on the ship, hoping that they would get out safely.

"Wait!" They heard someone call from behind them. They all turned around and saw a man around the age of 45 running up to them. He was dressed in sloppy black pants with his shirt tucked in on one side and untucked on the other. His hair was messed up and he smelled of alcohol. He also carried a flask around his neck. Luke and Lorelai stepped forward to talk to him and Rory and Logan turned around to talk to the guide.

The man was first to speak. "Weelll, Hello." He said to Lorelai, looking her up and down.

"Hi". Lorelai said, a little awkwardly. Luke put an arm around her waist, to signify that he and Lorelai were together to this man.

The man didn't seem to notice Luke's movement. "I over heard you talking to that...that person over there and you asked him to guide you through the ship. Why?" The man asked, his words slurring slightly.

Luke didn't know what to say. He certainly didn't want this man coming with them, especially since he kept staring at Lorelai. "Um… no reason. We would just like to check the ship out. That's all." Luke said as he slowly began to back away with Lorelai in tow.

"I think you're trying to get out of here. I'm coming…now move." The man pushed past them and gave Lorelai's butt a squeeze as he walked by and winked at her.

Lorelai yelped. "Ow!" She said and clung to Luke's arm.

Luke was getting madder by the minute at this man. He walked up to him with Lorelai trailing behind. "Look, you're not coming with us and you will not touch MY fiancée again!" Luke said and pointed a finger at the man.

"I am coming with you unless you want me to touch YOUR fiancée again." The man said, the last part of his sentence mimicking Luke. "Maybe this time in a little more inappropriate manner?" The man smiled cleverly.

Lorelai was scared. She clung to Luke's arm a little tighter.

Luke sighed. It was better to have this man come with them than to have him doing something to Lorelai. "Fine, but stay away from her."

"I won't come within 10 feet." The man mimicked.

"I mean it." Luke said.

"Okay, whatever you want boss." The man said.

"Just go." Luke said and the man moved up to the front of the group by Rory and Logan. They had witnessed the whole scene and they were a little scared of the man. Lorelai and Luke were in the back of the group, Rory and Logan were in front of them, and the man, who wouldn't say his name, and the guide were in front of Rory and Logan.

The guide led them to the kitchen. The doors to the kitchen were closed. Luke and Lorelai moved up the front of the group, reluctant to be next to the weird man and Luke put his hand up against the door. It was a little hot, but he could tell there was no fire right on the other side of the door. They opened the door and Luke and Lorelai were the first to walk in and when Lorelai saw what was inside it, she screamed.

There were dead kitchen staff lying on the ground everywhere. Lorelai clung to Luke and buried her head in his chest, so she wouldn't see the dead people.

Lorelai spoke still with her head in Luke's chest. "Rory!" Lorelai yelled to behind them.

Rory and Logan were not in the door yet. The guide had just walked in and the man had walked in and smirked. "Yah, mom?"

"Do something for me, okay hun?" Lorelai asked Rory. She and Luke had stopped walking so Lorelai could talk to Rory.

"Okay, what?" Rory asked Lorelai a little skeptically.

"Don't step in the door yet." Lorelai called.

"What, why?" Rory asked, confused.

"Put your head in Logan's chest, I know that sounded dirty but it wasn't supposed to be. Anyways, put your head in his chest and shut your eyes before you walk in." Lorelai told Rory, knowing she'd have the same reaction Lorelai did. "Then have Logan lead you up here next to me. I'm doing the same thing."

"Okay…I did it and we're inside now." Rory said to her mom. Logan gasped when he walked in. "Why did you just gasp?" Rory asked Logan. "Mom, why did Logan just gasp?" Rory was beginning to freak out.

"Just trust mommy, hun. I will tell you as soon as we get out of the ship." Lorelai told Rory as she and Logan came up by Lorelai and Luke.

"Oooookay." Rory said, unsure. The guide led them to an elevator. They all stood in front of it.

"You guys can open your eyes now, just don't turn around." Luke told Rory and Lorelai. They opened their eyes and Lorelai hugged Rory.

"There were dead people, weren't there mom?" Rory whispered to Lorelai.

"Well at least we have the whole mother daughter physic connection thing going on here." Lorelai whispered back to Rory. Rory made a disgusted look, knowing she walked right through dead people. Lorelai and Rory broke their hug and turned back towards the door.

Luke and the guide pried open the elevator with a something from the kitchen. They all looked down. It looked like it was never ending. There was an opening on the other side. It was about 5 feet up from where they were standing though.

"Oh my god." Lorelai and Rory said, in shock. The group stepped back.

"Is there another way?" Luke asked the guide.

"Yah, but it's blocked." The guide told him. "We have to go across the elevator to the room on the other side."

Luke took a deep breath and then he, the guide, and Logan took a tall, slender wood piece from the kitchen and laid it across the elevator to the other side.

"There is no way I'm crossing that." Lorelai said.

"Lorelai, it will be fine, I promise. We have to get out of here. Look, there will be a person up there in that room." Luke pointed to the opening. "And there will be a person on the other side of the wood plank, to hoist you up. Come here." Luke pulled her in to a hug and then kissed her.

The man not being able to stand seeing them kiss spoke. "Hate to break up your special moment here but maybe we should move so none of us burn to death." He received looks of disgust from the group.

"Shut up." Logan told the man and took Rory's hand, who was also scared. "Luke, I will be the person at the other side of the plank, to hoist people up, and you can be the person in the room to pull them up, okay?" Logan asked Luke. Luke nodded and Logan moved towards the elevator.

Once Logan was positioned on the other side of the plank, after crossing, he told them that he was ready for people to walk over to him. Luke decided to go firs, since he had to hoist people up.

Luke started to walk forward but Lorelai pulled him back. "If you die, we won't be able to get married." Lorelai said, looking worried.

"We will get married because I'm going to make it across, I promise." Luke hugged Lorelai then moved towards the plank.

Luke crossed very slowly and made it to the other side. Once he got there, Logan put his hand out and Luke stood on it and pulled himself to the room. Once he made it he called for other people to come.

"Send the women first." Luke said.

The man had other ideas. Since Luke and Lorelai were finally separated, he could be with Lorelai. He got a spark in his eyes, took a drink of his flask and started walking towards Lorelai, determinedly. Lorelai noticed this and looked at Luke, helpless.

"Hey! Do not touch her! Remember, you have to cross at some time or other and I'm the one that pulls you up. If you want to live you better not touch her!" Luke screamed to the man.

This apparently sunk him to him and he stopped walking towards Lorelai. However, he did push Lorelai and Rory out of the way and started walking towards the plank.

Logan spoke this time. "Hey! Lorelai and Rory are going first! Deal with it or your not going at all!"

"Jeez, lighten up everybody. Just tryin' to have some fun!" The man slurred.

"Yah, by trying to get us killed." Rory muttered.

"What was that?" The man said angrily.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Lorelai, Luke, and Logan said at the same time.

"Okay, seriously lighten up people. Have a sip from my flask." The man said.

"Uh… no thanks. Lorelai said.

"Lorelai, go ahead and cross." Luke said.

Lorelai turned to Rory. "Are you sure I should go first?"

"Yah, definitely, mom." Rory flicked her head towards the man. "You need to."

Lorelai sighed. "Okay." She moved towards the edge of the plank. "Luke, I'm scared."

"You can do it Lorelai. I know you can." Luke said.

Lorelai suddenly felt better. She started walking across the plank and stopped when se got to Logan. He lifted her up and Luke pulled her up. As soon as Lorelai got up to the room, she tackled Luke in a hug, resulting to them lying on the floor. She kissed him and they broke only when air was necessary.

Logan cleared his throat and then smiled at them. "Ready for Ace?" He asked.

"Um… yah." Luke said, embarrassed.

"Okay… come on, Ace." Rory started walking across, feeling confident after she saw her mother do it. She reached Logan and kissed him, not long though, for fear she would fall on the thin plank. He hoisted her up and Luke pulled her up. Lorelai and her hugged.

Next, it was the weird man's turn. "Okey, dokey, here I come!" He raised his fist in the air and started walking across the plank. He stumbled, almost falling. He unfortunately recovered and made it to Logan. Logan hoisted him up and Luke reluctantly pulled him up.

"Oh, yah! I made it! I made it!" The man started singing, while he danced. Lorelai and Rory looked at him, scared.

Next was Logan's turn. Luke pulled him up. It took awhile to get him up, considering he slipped once, but he made it. The whole group had made it.

They then started walking down a long hallway. There were leaks coming from the ceiling. Water was above them. Just then Logan tripped over something and fell. His leg started bleeding badly.

"Logan! Logan are you okay!" Rory kneeled down beside him. Luke came up by Rory and started bandaging his leg with tablecloth left over that Lorelai had kept.

The man took this as another opportunity to get close with Lorelai. Luke, her strong protector, he thought bitterly, was busy and her daughter and her boyfriend her busy. He came up to Lorelai. He pulled her in to a corner when Luke was concentrating on Logan's leg.

"What are you doing! Let me go!" Lorelai screamed and tried to free herself from his grip.

He just held on tighter and pushed her up against a wall, hard. He then kissed her. Lorelai tried to pull away, but he wouldn't let her. He just kept kissing her. Lorelai broke away and started to scream.

"Shut up!" The man yelled and kissed her again.

Meanwhile, Luke was bandaging Logan's leg. It took him about 15 minutes. When he looked up he saw that the man was still there and he wore a big smile. There was no Lorelai.

"Where's Lorelai you jerk!" Luke yelled.

"I don't know. Some irresponsible one you got there." He said. Luke sprinted down the hall. He turned a corner and saw Lorelai, crying. Her legs were pulled up to her chest and se was sobbing.

"Lorelai… what happened?" Luke asked as he knelt beside her and started to stroke her hair.

"Oh, Luke, it was horrible." Lorelai said and started crying again.

A/N So, did you guys like this chapter? How did you like the new character? What do think the man did to Lorelai? Do you want it to have been just kissing or more? Tell me in your review? Oh, did the man kind of seem like Jackson's brother, Bo, to you? I didn't mean to make him seem like Bo, but when I reread it, he seemed like him. I don't know. Anyways, please review! I'll update once I get to 30 reviews! Deal?
