Ok, so for some of you that reviewed, I said I would try and get a chapter up by the end of today. Well here it is. I don't really know about it. It might be a bit weird and cheesy. Where did they come up for that usage of cheesy, anyway? It's kind of odd, don't you think. It's like saying "oh, you're pancakey" or "that story was really macaroni-ish, wasn't it?" I mean, where did all of these food adjectives come from? Did someone just spend too much time staying with their mother way into their 50s or something?

Anyways, just a bit off topic there. Well I hope you enjoy, and special thanks to thosewho reviewed. Those people would be: JennatheJesusfreak, Charmedchic72 (what would I do without you? you are the reviewing god!), Nubes, sarahb2007, proFeSseR (you rock my socks! And my spell check doesn't like you.), Lolabelle26 (I missed you!), and Luke-and-LorelaiLuva6292. You are my heroes and I received not vegetables from you! Yay! On with the story!

Disclaimer: No, I still own nothing.

Chapter 12: Don't Hurt Casanova!

"Luke's diner, this is Luke speaking." Luke answered the phone. It was almost 6 and a few of the regular townies were already starting to show up. He hated them all. They kept trying to find out what the hell went on last night. Obviously Babette heard some yelling and Immediately called Miss Patty who called every person she knew in town--everyone.

"Yes, this is Taylor." Taylor said. Luke turned around and looked through the window, no Taylor, where was he?

"What d'you want Taylor?" Luke said, pissed that Taylor would even call him.

"Well, firstly, I was wondering if you could let my employees into the ice cream shop next door. I'm feeling a bit under the weather and I don't think it's wise for me to be going out into public and spreading my disease around." Taylor said.

"Your disease?" Luke asked.

"Well my throat is a bit sore and it might be strep throat or something, and I rather not chance spreading that to my employees and costumers." Taylor said as if it was so normal.

"Don't they have a key?" Luke asked.

"Well…no. I honestly don't trust them; they have never given me a reason to think of them as honest. So I don't give them the key or tell them where it is." Taylor said.

"And you think me letting them in will make your shop any safer?" Luke asked, losing his patients.

"Well…yes. Because you'll be there to watch them through the window."

"What!" Luke yelled into the phone. The three sets of people in the diner jumped and one of them spilt syrup all over his shirt.

"Well, see, it would be a favor for me and you know that I did do you a favor and let you speak to the town elders when you wanted that house and--"

"Taylor! I did not buy that house! I will never buy that house! And I will not let your stupid employees in! Find someone who actually cares to do it for you!" Luke yelled and then hung up the phone.

Everyone in the diner was now looking at him, including Kirk.

"What're you lookin' at?" he yelled.

"I'm coming Taylor!" Kirk yelled as he ran out the door towards Taylor's house. He had obviously been listening in on the conversation.

"Stupid damn town!" Luke yelled as he threw kirks cup of coffee into the sink. The cup shattered into little pieces as the coffee diluted itself into the water of the filled up sink.

"Hey Luke, bad day?" Jess said as he stood in the doorway. Luke just stood stupidly staring at his nephew. "Well aren't we chatty this morning. Is Lane here?" jess asked.

"Uh…yeah, she's just getting some pickles in the back." Luke answered.

"Hey Luke, I can't find any of the--hey Jess." Lane said as she stopped in the middle of diner, looking at the man who had dumped her best friend a few years previously.

"Hey Lane, I'm going to take Luke off your hands for a bit, can you cover?" Jess asked.

"Yes!" Lane said enthusiastically. Jess saw this and smiled.

"Come on Luke, let's go for a walk." Jess told Luke.

"Jess…"

"Now!" Jess said forcefully, knowing that he needed to get Luke away from the diner before he killed someone. Luke quickly obliged and exited the diner.

"Thank you." Lane whispered to Jess. Jess just winked and left, knowing just where to take Luke.

"Mom! Mom! Where are you? Don't make me smash Casanova!" Rory yelled up the stairs.

"No! No! No! No! No! Don't break him! Don't break the coffee maker! Don't you dare! I gave you life and I am not afraid to take it away!" Lorelai said as she rushed down the stairs in her underwear and a tank top.

"You could have put on some pants." Rory said.

"Uh, no! You were threatening to kill Casanova! Why would I waste time to put on pants? Plus Casanova likes to see me in just my underwear." Lorelai joked.

"Mom! I don't want to know about your walking around my house in just underwear!" Rory said.

"oh, I walk around in much less, like the last time that James the new mailman came, I was wearing just a bra and underwear because I thought it was Luke" Lorelai's voice fell. "And it wasn't." she finished.

"I'm sorry mom." Rory said.

"it's ok, it's just so odd, because even last time I had some hope, but it just seems like the whole damn world is against me in this battle and there's no way I can win." Lorelai vented.

"Mom, how about I make some coffee, while you go shower and get dressed." Rory said.

"But it's Saturday."

"So?"

"We have a tradition of not getting dressed until 10 on Saturday mornings. And remember we promised if we broke even one of these said traditions, that we would eat salads for lunch for a week." Lorelai explained.

"Break the tradition just this once. You've done it before, and besides, we'll forget this ever happened, or do I need to mention all of our traditions that you've broken in the past?" Rory threatened.

"Going to take a shower now!" Lorelai said as she ran up the stairs.

"Where the hell are we going!" Luke said as jess pushed him along. He stopped about twenty yards away from the bridge.

"Here. Stand here." jess said to Luke.

"What the hell is this all about?" Luke barked. Jess hit him on the side of the head. "What the hell jess? Have you lost your mind?" Luke asked as he rubbed the spot that jess had just hit.

"That's funny. That's really funny." Jess said as he laughed slightly.

"What?"

"Have I lost my mind? The real question is, have you lost yours?" jess asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"You yelling at Taylor--"

"I always yell at Taylor." Luke answered.

"Not like that. And then there's the coffee cup--"

"I'm having a bad day." he said.

"And now this horrible tone you are taking with me. Luke, what the hell are you doing?" jess asked.

"What are you talking about? I have no clue what you mean." Luke lied.

"Yes you do, now I have heard from Patty--"

"Oh, this is going to be good." Luke laughed. Jess looked serious though.

"I have heard from Miss Patty that you and Lorelai were yelling at each other last night, and it was mainly you doing to yelling." jess said.

"Jess you have no business in this." Luke said.

"Damn right I do! Now listen! You are being a stupid idiot!" jess said. Luke just rolled his eyes.

"I don't have to deal with this." Luke said as he started to turn around. Jess grabbed his arm.

"Yes you do. Someone has to tell you what a stupid ass you're being! You don't seem to want to listen to Lorelai, or the town, or anyone else, so I'm here to just tell you to stop being an idiot! Luke, you're ruining your future. You are going to look back one day, and think, 'hey, if I had only listened to him, I would be holding Lorelai with a couple of kids running around!' you're being stupid, and you need to grow up. You want the relationship to be equal?"

"How did you--"

"Babette has really good ears, anyway, do you?"

"Sure." Luke said.

"Well then you need to grow up and show Lorelai that you've changed, and that it's her turn too. Please Luke, for the diner's sake?" jess asked.

"What?"

"You know a breakup between you and Lorelai equals crappy food. It's a science." Jess joked.

"Jess, I don't know…"

"Come on." Jess said as he started to walk away. He wanted Luke to follow him. Luke reluctantly moved from his place and caught up with Jess who stopped on the bridge.

"Do you know who was here a week ago, crying, wanting to just let the water take them?" jess asked as he stared into the water where he could see a few fish swimming around.

"No, I don't." Luke answered honestly.

"Lorelai. She talked to Rory, who then talked to me. I guess Lorelai didn't realize what she was saying when she confessed that she was thinking of suicide. Maybe she was drunk; maybe she was just so shocked she didn't understand what she was saying. Whatever the reason for her confession, you Luke, you caused that feeling inside of no hope." jess said as he took his eyes off the water and looked straight at Luke.

"I--" Luke started but before he knew what was happening, he felt pressure on his chest and felt gravity pulling him off the bridge.

Jess had pushed him and had watched him fall into the water.

"Jess! You stupid piece of crap! I'll--" Luke said as he struggled to swim over to the dock.

"well, you needed some sort of wake up call." jess said as he walked back towards the diner, knowing that Luke wouldn't be to pleased, so jess decided to take the side route, to avoid confrontations in public of course.

---------------------

So what did you all think? Was it pancakey enough for you? Well please review. It might take a while to get the next chapter or two up because of my writer's block. If you have any ideas, please feel free to tell me because I NEED them. Here's another quote from Grey's anatomy that I can't seem to remember from which episode it occurs, but here it is: "I hate you! And your cake!" I know it's not funny all alone there, but it was a funny scene. Ok, well PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW!
