Chapter 1: BOY, YOU´VE BEEN A NAUGHTY GIRL

It was Friday morning two days after Luke had asked Lorelai and Rory if they would go to the lake with him and Lorelai was prancing around the house singing "Starman" in a very obnoxious voice. According to her she had no idea why she was in such a good mood but Rory had a feeling it had to do with a certain diner man. Ah to be in love and not know it.

"Mom I am going to be late coming home from school!" Rory yelled from the front door.

"I think Paris has secretly brainwashed every member of the newspaper. She has you wrapped around her little finger." Lorelai yelled to Rory form her room upstairs.

" She seems a little off to me you know what I mean? Has she ever been on a date I mean I wouldn't go on a date with her if I were a guy. No teenage kid in their right mind would want to do more school work after school except you of course but you are different… in a good way." she added.

"Is there any end to this rant in sight because I really have to get to school." Rory said as she opened the front door.

"I am not done I haven't gotten to the part where I compare Paris and my mother they should be sisters. That would be a little weird considering there would be like half a century age difference. Man that sounds old." Lorelai said enjoying that she was making Rory mad and late for school.

"By mom" Rory said ignoring her mother's last comment.

Lorelai made her way down the stairs getting excited about the prospect of seeing Luke first thing in the morning. Of coarse it is because of the coffee not Luke. Luke doesn't like me like that so it doesn't matter what I think of him. Not that I think of him in any way other than a friend. Ugh. She made her way through the door and got into her jeep to go to the diner.

As Lorelai was about to open the door to the diner her phone rang. "Hello…yes.. Oh, hey mom" Lorelai said this call immediately put a damper on her mood.

"Lorelai I was wondering if you were coming to dinner tonight."

"Um why wouldn't I. You have made it your job to not give me a choice in the matter and now you are asking if I was coming like I actually get to make the decision?' Lorelai asked not understanding why her mother was asking her.

" Well I know you are going on a date with the ice man and so I was just wondering"

"What!" Lorelai exclaimed, "Where in the world did you here that"

"Well you see, I was in Starshollow yesterday to see you at the inn to arrange a meeting and I ran into a rather large woman who apparently knew who I was which is strange. Anyways she said 'you are going to have beautiful grandchildren or something completely absurd. Immediately I figured that you got yourself knocked up again but she assured me that the news around town was that you apparently are going on a date with that lumberjack from that little diner"

"Whoa whoa whoa, that is not true at all. Me and Luke are not going on a date tonight. Miss Patty tends to misinterpret many things and she probably heard us talking about what me, him and Rory are doing tomorrow."

"So you are going on a date." Emily said rather than asked.

"NO! We are going out on his boat to the lake just to relax. It is definitely not a date." Lorelai tried to clear up.

"You said that like you wish it was a date Lorelai."

"Whatever, I have to go!" she said as she opened the door to the diner.

"Where are you now, at the inn? Because I still need to schedule that DAR thing" Emily asked.

"Umm… I am at the diner to get some coffee" she said fully aware that if she told a lie it would come back and get her.

"I see. Well I guess I will see you tonight"

Lorelai was relieved that the conversation was over and that she could focus on more important things or person in her case. Hmmm… what can I do to embarrass Luke today? This aught to be funny.

"Lukie poo where are you?" Lorelai cooed.

Luke walked up to the counter where lorelia was sitting and looked at her in 'what kind of medicine are you taking kind of way.

"Hey Luke, I have a question for you." Lorelai said in a flirtatious tone.

"what is that" Luke asked without glancing up.

"Well, I was wondering I have these swimsuits and I was wondering which one you wanted me to wear tomorrow." Lorelai said trying to make Luke as uncomfortable as possible.

"Uh-" Luke gulped

"Well I brought them just in case you needed a visual." Lorelai smiled.

Luke on the other hand was dreading seeing the swimsuits because he knew he was being teased. He felt like he was about to hyperventilate.

"The first one is red and ties around the neck" she said holding it up and waiting to see Luke's reaction.

Luke was clearly affected by this and was gripping on to the counter top in order to keep from passing out.

"The second one is a little more colorful and the bottom also ties" she said holding up the most revealing one.

Does she have any idea of how this is killing me.

Lorelai continued by holding up the third one completely oblivious to the inner battle Luke was having trying to keep himself sane. "And the final one is right here," it was a white and blue striped bikini with sexy written on the butt. "So make your pick" she said with a smile.

"Um… well.. uh" Luke was having trouble forming full sentences.

"Luke you're a guy come on. Pretend I am what's her name… oh yeah! Petra Nemcova what would you want to see her wear… besides nothing. " Lorelai said waiting to see what Luke decided on.

"Well the uh I guess they are all fine. The second one?" Luke said trying to act like this wasn't such a big deal to him.

"Ok I'll wear the second one. So wears the coffee?" Lorelai asked looking around.

Luke was still in a daze and didn't hear a word she was saying. "Hmm"

"Luke get with the program I need my coffee!" "Oh sorry" Luke said and quickly turned around to pour the drink of death.

"So umm what time are you going to need me and Rory to be ready tomorrow?" Lorelai asked while playing with two forks.

"Um I guess I could pick you and Rory up around 8:30 in the morning because I know for a fact that you wouldn't get up before that on a Saturday."

"Sounds good … so I will see you at the butt crack of dawn… for me at least. Look Luke I am a walrus" Lorelai said as sheputthe two forks she was playing within hermouth.

"you are so immature." Luke said but couldn't help but smile she always seemed to make his day with a comment or joke.

Lorelai got up to leave but stole a last glance at Luke before she went to the inn.


Later after school at the inn Rory arrived in Starshollow after school and was on her way to the inn.

"Hey mom" she said. She wasn't sure how she was going to tell her mom that she couldn't go to the lake the next day.

"So umm I was talking to Paris today and she said that we really needed to work on the Franklin tomorrow and that I was really needed because according to her all of the other writers have the attention span of four year olds. "

"Rory what did I tell you that girl has you wrapped around her finger, her wish is your command"

"Mom that doesn't make any sense, plus this way you and Luke can have some alone time, I won't be in the way." Rory said smiling.

"why in the world would I need to spend alone time with Luke" I never thought of that before.

"Because you love him and he loves you and you want to really bad you just won't admit it." Rory said having fun making her mom uncomfortable.

"What? Who are you and what have you done with my smart daughter because you are clearly out of your mind." Lorelai said but thinking that Rory was not to far from truth.

"On to another subject we need to get home and get ready to go to grandma's for dinner" Rory said trying to be the responsible person.

"Do you mean going to hell?" Lorelai quipped.

"Mom" Rory said in an exasperated tone.

"Fine fine lets go get ready."

"Do you know what she said?" Lorelai said going out the door of the inn.

"Who? Grandma, did you talk to her today?"

"Yeah she called because she didn't think I was coming to dinner tonight. She tought I was going on a date with Luke. Apparently she talked to Miss Patty who must have misunderstood me and Luke talking about tomorrow. Can you believe it? Me and Luke on a date?"

"Mom I am sure you have imagined it many times. Remember when you told me to analyze your dream about you getting stuck in an elevator with Luke and the only way for you to get out was for Luke to kiss you?" God she is so stupid sometimes.

"What? That doesn't mean anything that had nothing to do with me liking Luke"
"Mom lets just get ready for dinner"
