A/N: Love you guys! Thanks so much for all these great reviews. Keep 'um coming!
Oh and incase you haven't noticed, I'm not doing this in order. Where's the fun in that anyway?
Please review.
Lorelai walked down the street, and halfway down her driveway, before realizing a dim light was on in the garage. She was almost afraid to look, but quickly realized that Luke was sitting in his father's boat.
"Luke?" She asked, stepping into the garage. He jumped at the sound of her voice.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi." She said, stepping closer. He patted the seat beside him, and gestured for her to sit with him.
"Need help?" He asked, putting out a hand to help her up.
"Thanks." She smiled, taking his hand. He pulled her up, and she sat beside him.
"It's a nice boat." She stated.
"Yeah." He nodded, staring into space.
"Do you think you'll finish it?" She asked, praying that he wouldn't be mad. She knew they had made up, but she wasn't sure if it'd be a touchy subject for them.
"Maybe." He said.
She nodded, and tried to think of something else to say.
"How was the party?" He asked.
"Oh, it was good." She said. "Kirk was singing AC/DC when I left." Lorelai said.
Luke laughed, and Lorelai smiled. She loved when she made him laugh, especially when he was feeling like this.
"He was in the middle of TNT when I left." Lorelai told him.
"I guess his mother never warned him about the punch." Lorelai shrugged. "He was so drunk, he started telling Gypsy about his spork theories….and how they will someday end the world… And he asked me to play strip Trivial Pursuit." Lorelai laughed, remembering the moment.
"Spork theories?" Luke asked.
"You know, a mixture between a spoon and fork." Lorelai said.
"I know what a spork is." He told her.
"Oh." She said.
"Kirk has theories about them?" Luke asked.
"Ask him about them some day." Lorelai said. "And ask him about the butt pillow people." Lorelai laughed.
"I know about the butt pillow people." Luke said.
"You know about the butt pillow people!" Lorelai laughed.
"Yeah, they were the really smart kids at school… They'd carry around these butt pillows and bring them to class, and the cafeteria, and they'd sit on them… nobody knew why, I don't know why no one asked." Luke said.
"OK, I'm sorry, but what company makes butt pillows?" Lorelai laughed.
Luke shrugged.
"Did you say that Kirk asked you to play strip Trivial Pursuit?" Luke asked.
Lorelai nodded, grinning. "Yup, he did."
"Wow." Luke said.
"Yep… our town." She said with a sigh.
"That punch really needs a warning label." Luke said.
"Tell me about it… You didn't have to see Taylor do the Macarena." Lorelai said.
"Oh, God." Luke said.
"Yup, I'm going to have nightmares for months." Lorelai said.
Luke nodded, and then was silent for a few minutes. Lorelai tried to think of something else to say, but nothing came to mind.
Luke stood up, and she looked up at him.
"I better get going." He told her, as he stepped out of the boat, and gave her his hand to help her out.
"Oh, right." Lorelai said.
"Yeah…" Luke said.
"You could stay, you know." Lorelai said, hoping he wouldn't be mad that she was trying to intrude on his dark day. "I mean, you don't have to, really… just, if you… want to." Lorelai said.
He thought about it for a few seconds, and then nodded. "OK." He said.
She smiled. "Yeah?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'll stay." He said, as he led her into the house.
They took off their coats, and Luke hung them up. Lorelai began taking off her shoes, when Luke began sniffing the air.
"What?" Lorelai questioned.
"You smell like trees." He said.
She smiled, and nodded. "I know." She said. "I'm a crazy, tree lady."
He looked at her as if she was crazy and then continued to take off his own shoes. "How much punch did you have?" He asked.
"Oh, just a little." She giggled, and wrapped her arms around his neck. He leaned down at kissed her, and then wrapped his arms around her waist. They finally pulled away, and headed upstairs.
Lorelai pulled out one of Luke's t-shirts from her dresser, and a pair of red sweat pants.
"Hey, that's my shirt." He said.
"Yes it is." She agreed.
"You stole my shirt."
"You sound surprised." She said.
"When did you steal my shirt?" He asked.
"Last week." She said.
He sighed, and rolled his eyes. "Why'd you steal my shirt?" He asked her.
"It's pretty." She smiled.
He shrugged, kissed her, and then headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
"I hate cinnamon toothpaste." He said, as he brushed his teeth.
"Yeah, yeah." She said, changing into her clothes. "My turn." She said, as he left the bathroom, and she went into it and closed the door.
She came back out a few minutes later, and slid into bed beside Luke, then sighed heavily.
"What?" He asked.
"Nothing." She said. "It's just… this is nice, don't you think?" She asked, happily.
"I have very few complaints." He said, mimicking what he said before.
She looked over to him and rolled his eyes.
He laughed at her and put his hand on her cheek. "No complaints." He told her confidently.
She rolled her eyes again, but leaned in and kissed him. She turned off the light, and pulled the covers further over her.
"Night." She said.
"Night." He replied.
A few minutes of silence went by, and then Luke turned to face Lorelai.
"Lorelai?" He asked.
"Hmm?" She mumbled.
"Thanks." He told her, and she simply smiled back.
So, I loved this episode. Although I hated that it was Luke and Lorelai's first fight, I still thought it was great. I loved how they made up and everything. Luke looked so sweet, and with Lorelai keeping her eyes closed for like 10 seconds after they kissed. I loved that.
Kirk and his Yoga for Dummies book, perfect.
I liked the whole Luke's dark day concept. I don't know, I just thought it was cool.
The Rory/Logan thing was cool. It was a little bit weird, but whatever.
Anyways, I loved the episode.
And please review!
