Summary Takes place in the 3rd season during Lorelai out of water. Luke doesn't like Nicole and Alex and Lorelai are suppose to go fishing but she doesn't know how to so Luke offers to teach her.

Disclaimer If I owned Gilmore Girls, Luke and Lorelai would be happy, there would be no April, Lorelai and Rory wouldn't have had a fight, and Rory would be with Jess or Marty not Logan. So you can figure out that I do not own Gilmore Girls.


Luke is in the diner leaning on the counter reading a book.

"Move" Jess said in his normal 'I don't give a damn voice.'

"What? Oh, sorry."

"What's that?"

"It's nothing."

"I never see you read."

"Will you just. . . I read." just leave me alone please.

"What are you reading?"

"I read, I read."

"What do you read?"

"Invoices, expiration dates."

"I stand corrected." Jess takes Luke's book

"Hey!"

"Hidden Romantic Gems of the Restaurant World. Well, well, well."

"I would like my property back, please."

"Planing something special?"

"No, nothing special. I'm just taking Nicole to dinner tonight and I wanna find a place." special would be with Lorelai but I'm moving on.

"Why not Sniffy's?"

"Because"

"Because thats where you always wanted to take Lorelai on a date?"

"No!" yes "Who says I wanted to take Lorelai on a date?"

"Everyone"

"Just get back to work."

Lorelai's POV

Lorelai is sitting on her couch drinking coffee.

Maybe I should just tell Luke how I feel . . .

"Hey Mom, morning." Rory walked out of her room dragging her bag towards the front door.

"Hey hun"

"Mom, what's wrong?" how much do I tell her?

Lorelai told the whole story to her daughter, leaving out the part that she loves Luke.

"Do you love him?" gosh that girl is good.

"Yes" she whispered softly

"I knew it! You have to tell him! Everyone knows he is in love with you, its so obvious."

"But what if he doesn't? We will never be able to get coffee there or food and I will ruin our friendship." or what if he does and we get together will he still love me if we date? What if I drive him crazy? Well more crazy then I already do and he breaks up with me? I don't think I could handle it.

"He does now go!"

"I have to go to the Inn."

"Ok go tonight before Friday night dinner then."

"Well see."

"Yup we will." wait who is the parent here? I gotta go catch my bus I'll see ya tonight."

"Have a good day babe."

Later that day

Lorelai's phone is ringing.

"Hello?"

"Hey mom don't hate me but I can't come to dinner tonight."

"What? Why?"

"Sherry went in to labor and none of her friends can get there so I have to go to Boston . . ."

"Ok, I don't hate you."

"Sorry again, now go talk to Luke!"

"Yes Ma'am"

Luke is up in his apartment getting ready for his date.

Why am I doing this? I hate dressing up, and fancy restaurants, and lawyers too for that matter.

Luke walks downstairs to the dinner.

"Lorelai!" wow she's here

"Hey, you're all dressed up."

"Yea" she is so beautiful I wonder why she is here . . . probably just needed coffee. "Coffee?"

"Um can we talk . . . alone?" god this is hard.

"Umm . . ."

A/N ok people don't hate me please don't hate me.

Nicole walks in

"Hi."

"Hey, Nicole."

"Oh it's a girl, you have a date." with an annoyingly skinny lawyer super she is so your type Luke. Can't cry . . . can't cry.

"Yea Lorelai this is Nicole." Lorelai tried as hard as she could to hide how hurt she was but Luke could see through it. Why is she hurt? She can't have feelings for me can she?

Nicole's phone rings.

"Oh sorry I'll just step outside for a minute." Nicole walks outside and answers her phone.

"So Lorelai can we talk tomorrow?"

"You have a date. You really weren't jealous huh. Well I gotta go, hope you have a nice time.:"

"Lorelai-"

"No Luke forget it, it doesn't matter." She turned and walked out of the dinner fighting back tears. An oblivious Nicole comes back in.

"You ready Luke?"

"Yea lets go." moving on was the right thing to do . . .right? Well this is me moving on.


A/N Now I am very sorry about this so please don't hurt me. I promise things will work out between Lorelai and Luke. This leads to stuff that is gonna happen next chapter so please hang in there. This might be my last chapter for awhile since I'm going out of town but I will try to add one more before I leave. Review please good bad and in between ones are always appreciated. Thanks!
