Title: Jessica Alba's in Town

By: Nikka Flores

Summary: Jessica Alba's in town. And Luke seems to know her pretty well (wink wink). And Lorelai's jealous of her.

Disclaimer: I own nothing...well, except my dignity and crazy imagination.

CHAPTER 3: Luke and Jessica's Reunion, bye-bye Natalie, er Elizabeth?

"What? Why? What happened?" Luke asked, immediately by her side.

Becca was quiet for a while. Then she took a deep breath. "I quit my job…back in Florida." she started slowly. Luke stood there beside her, encouraging her to go on. "And, daddy found out…and…um…well you can just Imagine what happened…" tears were threatening to escape her eyes.

Luke understood her completely, and put his arms around her in comfort. "He didn't take it so well?"

"No." she said in a shaky voice. "He blew up…yelled at me like you can imagine…he just got so…" she trailed off, the tears rolling down her cheeks. Luke hugged her, she hugged him back. "He took all my money away…he cut off all my credit cards." Becca sobbed lightly as Luke rubbed her back. "I just don't know what to do…I'm broke…I'm jobless…I'm homeless."

"You're homeless?" he asked, pulling back to look at her.

She nodded. "My dad stopped paying for my apartment and I didn't have any money to pay for it, so I got evicted." she said quietly. "I have nothing…the only thing I have right now are my clothes and my car, which is the only thing that I have ever bought with my own money, in my whole entire life."

"Well, what about the money you earned at your job? You could have used that money to pay for the apartment."

Becca shook her head. "No. it wasn't enough."

"What do you mean it wasn't enough? The money you earn there is twice as much money I earn here."

"Yeah but my dad made me pay him back…for everything. My credit card, my apartment…"

"Becca, up until now, your dad still pays for that?"

"Well, you know me. I'm not much of an independent girl."

Luke sighed. "Yeah I know. You always relied on your dad." Luke led her to the couch, so they could sit down.

"I just don't know what to do Luke." she continued. "I have been staying from one friend's house to another. I can't keep doing that. I need a life. I need to support myself…but, I just don't know how. I always had my dad to back me up." she took a sip from her water.

Luke stayed quiet for a moment, letting her regain herself. "Why did you quit your job?" he asked carefully.

Becca sighed and looked at him. "I wasn't happy there." Luke nodded. "Ten years, I've tolerated that place for ten years. Sure it pays well, but it's not what I want. I couldn't take it anymore…so I quit…and daddy wasn't too thrilled about it."

"Oh Becca." he said, rubbing her arm.

"I'm sorry. I know, after fifteen years, you didn't think our reunion would be like this." she giggled shakily.

He smirked a bit.

"I drove all the way up here. Not knowing where I'd end up. I was thinking probably New York. And then I saw a sign saying 'Next Exit, Stars Hollow' and I thought of you, and the next thing I know, I was in the middle of the town square and I saw a William's Hardware out front with a Luke's Diner sign on the side, and here I am."

"Here you are."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have had sprung this on you like this. I didn't know what I was expecting…I guess I was expecting that you'd help me outor something…just like you use to do." she says quietly, looking down on her clasped hands on her knees. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have expected anything like that."

Luke sighed. He was quiet for a moment, just thinking. He'd known Becca since he was a kid. He knows that she's never been independent. She's always relied on her dad for everything. She was such a daddy's girl. She was always spoiled by him. He knew that what she's going through is hard. And being him, he just could leave her standing with nothing.

"Tell, you what, I'll help you."

Becca looked at him smiling. "Really?"

"Yeah. I'll help you look for an apartment, I'll help you with a rent, until you can pay for it on your own. I'll help you find a job too."

Becca squealed with delight and hugged Luke tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

he hugged her back, chuckling a bit at her enthusiasm. "In the meantime, you can stay here with me, and work in the diner. That way, you can have some money saved up."

Becca looked at him with a disgusted face. Luke knew why. He just looked at her sternly. He knew that working in the diner wasn't really Becca's thing. Becca sighed knowing she had to if she wanted to be sheltered.

"But I've never worked at a diner before." she whined.

Luke rolled his eyes. "Well, if you'd rather be homeless…"

"No. ok, ok. Jeez. I was just kidding." but despite herself Becca smiled.

Luke smiled back. "come one, let me show you your room."

Lorelai paced back and forth in her kitchen. Thinking about this Becca person.

Why am I obsessing over this? It's not like Luke didn't have a life before me. Sure he had a girlfriend. A girlfriend that looked like Jessica Alba. I mean Rachel was Elle McPeerson…wow…first Elle McPeerson, now Jessica Alba…how do I top that?…whoa, whoa. I do not want to top that. What am I talking about? I don't want Luke to like me the way he likes those other two girls.

I'm never gonna have my chance with him…ok, stop it. Stop thinking about his. Think about something else. Something else…ok…um…Davey. Ok, Davey. Such a cute little boy. Hope he's not as a clutz as his mother. My best friend, who is my partner at the inn. The inn that I have dreamt of opening since I can remember. And now we have it. The Dragonfly. The inn that Rachel showed me, AKA Elle McPeerson, who use to be with Luke, who is now with Jessica Alba…ARGH! I can't do this!

Lorelai sighed and sat down on a chair.

Why doesn't he like me? Am I not pretty enough for him?…sure I'm not Elle McPeerson or Jessica Alba. But I was once told that I looked like Elizabeth Taylor and Natalie Wood. She sighed again. Maybe Luke's not one for Elizabeth or Natalie?…of course not. He likes Elle and Jessica.

Why doesn't he like me?

All this thinking about Elle and Jessica and Luke put all the pain back in Lorelai's heart.
