Okay just to catch you up. It is now Saturday December 9, 2000. So anyway now this is the story line from 1.10 - Forgiveness and Stuff. I did change some stuff, you know make it more my own, because I just got an idea for a story. So pretend I had never posted that last chapter. Never happened.
Okay so now it's not exactly like the episode. I've added more of my own stuff to it, and in the next chapter there will be even more changes. So after next chapter I'm going back to writing my own chapters. Although every once in a while if there is an episode I really like with good Luke & Lorelai moments, like this one, I'll might put it into my story. But that's only if it fits the story line I have going. And I will mostly write my own stuff. Well here's chapter eight. Oh and please R&R!
Chapter eight: a night to remember
Lorelai is standing at the front desk of the Independence Inn when the phone rings. "Independence Inn, Lorelai speaking."
"Lorelai." Emily's voice comes over the phone.
"Mom, hello." Ugh! What does she want?
"I wanted to talk to you about the Christmas dinner this Saturday."
"Ah, Christmas dinner." Crap is it Saturday already?
"You forgot?" how could she forget?
"Well mom, there's been a lot going on around here lately, your Christmas shindig's not exactly high on my list of things to obsess about." But Luke is. No don't think that remember whom you're talking to. Emily's got like some sort of mind reading power. No Luke thoughts!. . . at least not until you're off the phone.
"Well I'm sorry if the timing is bad Lorelai, but the world doesn't always revolve around you."
"Really, good to know."
"Cocktails are at 6, dinner's at 8."
"I probably won't be there for cocktails." Here comes the yelling.
"Why not?" What does she mean she won't be there for cocktails?
"Because I have to work."
"You can't leave work early?"
"No I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because it's not in my job description."
"Well then don't come."
"What?" What does she mean don't come?
"Don't come. It's obviously an enormous burden for you."
"Yeah but -"
"Just send Rory."
"You're telling me not to come to the Christmas party?" what I always go. It's the one holiday I actually enjoy going to.
"Well you're obviously too busy."
"I had the German measles in the 5th grade, I still had to show up to the Christmas party." I can't believe this!
"Lorelai let's be honest here, I'm not too happy with you right now and I assume you're not too happy with me. "
"My polka dot dress matched my face and still I had to sit through 12 courses." Come on she has to remember that!
"I am tired of forcing you to do all those terrible things that infringe upon your life and I do not have the energy to pretend that the way you treated my the other day was in any way acceptable."
"So you're uninviting me to Christmas dinner?" How can she do that?
"Yes I am." Well she deserves it. Doesn't she?
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Ok, anything else?" Like banishing me from the family?
"I believe that's all."
"Ok well, great mom, it's been swell talking to you."
"Bye Lorelai."
"Bye." Lorelai said hanging up the phone rather hardly. Then she picked up the phone a dilled another number, one she had known for years.
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
The phone in the diner rings, and Luke walks over to answer it. "Luke's."
"Hey." She said smiling at the sound of his voice.
"Oh, hey." Luke said also with a smile.
"So um you still up for that date tonight?"
"I thought you had to go to your parents Christmas party." Today is Saturday isn't it?
"Yeah well now I'm uninvited."
"What?"
"I'm uninvited."
"How can they uninvite you?"
"I've been wondering the same thing."
Luke could hear the sadness in her voice and decided to change the subject. "So you wanted that date now, did you?"
Lorelai smiled, he's good. "Yeah, pick me up at six?"
"You got it."
"Okay see you then."
"Yeah bye."
"Bye." This time Lorelai didn't hang up the phone so hard, So what if 'm not going to the Christmas party, a least I can spend the night with Luke. At that Lorelai smiled and whispered. "Dirty." To herself.
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
Luke pulled up behind Lorelai's jeep, got out and went to knock on the door. Before he reached the door it swung open.
"Hey."
"Hey, I was just coming to get you." He said pointing to the front door.
"Yeah I saw you coming."
"Okay, so you ready to go?"
"Yeah were are we headed to?"
"Well I thought we would go to this restaurant that goes all out for every holiday, so right now its all decked out for Christmas, it can be like your own two week early Christmas parry." Luke said shyly.
Oh that's so sweet! "Luke you big softy! That sounds perfect!"
"Well I'm glad you think that, now come on we better get going."
"Okay."
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
Luke and Lorelai pulled up in front of at restaurant called Seasons of the year. Luke
helped Lorelai out of the car then lead her to the entrance of the restaurant.
They walked inside and were stunned.
"Wow! This place is beautiful, it's amazing!"
"It is. I never thought they would go this all out."
"Yeah, I wonder what it must look like at Halloween?"
"Well we'll just have to find out next year."
"Luke Danes is that a promise?"
"If you want it to be."
"I do."
"Okay well then come Halloween 2001 we will be here."
"Good, can we eat now? I'm hungry."
"Yeah what else is new?"
"Hey!" she said slapping him on the arm.
Luke grabbed her hand and led her to the front desk.
"Hello and welcome to Seasons of the year." A young blond said.
"Hi, Danes party of two."
She looked down her list. "Okay right this way." she said as she grabbed two menus.
Luke and Lorelai followed the girl to a table for to right in front of the biggest Christmas
tree in the whole place.
"Luke this is wonderful, it looks so magical." Lorelai said as she and Luke sat down.
"Well I'm glad you like it."
"I do." She said then picked up her menu and began to look through it.
Luke looked over at Lorelai, he could tell this whole thing with her mom was still
upsetting her. "You're still sad."
"What?"
"About the thing with your parents, you're still sad it's still bothering you isn't it?"
"Oh no not at all." She said rather unconvincing.
"Lorelai."
"Uh, fine it is but I don't know why!" why do I have to care so much!
"You liked going . . ."
"I guess, yeah."
"Rory's there without you . . ."
"She is."
"You miss spending this time of year together with her."
"Wow." He really knows me.
"Did I mention I see you every damn day?" He told her with a hint of a smile.
"Well that an I am your girlfriend." She said smiling back.
"There is that."
"Hum, I like the sound of that."
"Me too."

Luke and Lorelai had eaten about half of their dinner when Lorelai's phone began to ring.
"Don't answer that." Luke told her.
"And why not?"
"Because you'll be talking all through dinner if you do."
"Will not it will be really quick."
"Your phone conversations are never quick."
"This one will be."
"Fine." Why does she always win?
Just as Lorelai had found her phone it stopped ringing. "She if you hadn't argued with me I would already be done talking on the phone and wouldn't have to check my voice mail."
Lorelai proceeds to check her voice mail as Luke continues to eat his dinner.
All of a sudden Lorelai broke the silence that had fallen with a shout. "Oh my God!"
Lukes head jurked up. "What? What happened?"
"My father's in the hospital." She said in almost a whisper.
"What?" Her fathers in the hospital? What happened?
"Yeah, he collapsed or something. I don't know. I just need to get to the hospidal." Oh my god. What do I do? Oh my god.
"Whoa, calm down." Luke said rushing over to Lorelai.
"No I can't calm down. I need to get to the hospital. I need to know if he is okay."
Luke pulled her into a hug" Hey, it'll be okay, come on I'll drive you."
She pulled away from him a little, but not completely. "But what about dinner?"
Luke let go of her and turned to find the waiter. "Waiter check please." Luke called then looked over at Lorelai. "Put on your coat and get your stuff." Then he turned to waiter that had brought him the check and quickly paid. "Okay," Luke said as he grabbed his coat then helped Lorelai up and led her towards the exit with an arm around her. "Come on, lets go."
Lorelai looked up at Luke. "Luke, I'm -"
"I know." He whispered kissing her head. "I know." And with that they hurried out the door and over to the truck.
> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
"Look." Lorelai said pointing out the window.
"Relax." He told her for what seemed like the tenth time.
"We're being passed by senior citizens." She complained. I need to get to the hospital I need to get to my dad.
"I'm going as fast as I can." He told her
"Bye Grandma, bye." Lorelai waved out the car window.
"There's ice on the road, those people aren't being safe." And I'm sure as hell not going to make us end up in the hospital as well.
"Well maybe they're not being safe but at least they're getting somewhere!" I know I shouldn't be yelling at him, he's been so good.
Lorelai took out her cell phone and listened to the voice mail Rory had left again. "You checked it five times already, I've listened to it twice, it's not changing."
"'Grandpa's in the hospital, please come.' No details, no info. Who taught her to leave a message like that?"
She sounds so worried. "I'm sure she was in a hurry."
"A person needs details. Why is he in the hospital? How bad is it? What are the circumstances involving him being in the hospital? These are simple questions that need to be answered."
"We'll be there very soon and then you'll know everything."
"What if he's dead?" she blurted out. She hadn't said anything about it but she had been thinking it ever seance she had gotten that call.
"He's not dead." Luke told her, and he raped an arm around her pulling he to him.
"How do you know?" her voice somewhat muffled by Luke's chest.
"I know." He replied simply.
"Oh, you're psychic now? You're suddenly getting visions while you're driving 20 mph in the oldest truck known to man?" she paused. "I'm sorry, you're killing yourself to get me there and I'm yelling at you. I don't mean it."
"I know." Luke squeezed her, and kissed her forehead.
"I feel like this is one of those moments when I should be remembering all the great times I had with my dad, you know. The time he took me shopping for a Barbie or to the circus or fishing and my mind is a complete blank."
"Well I'm sure it happened."
"No it didn't." she pulled away from Luke so she could look at him as she talked. "We never did any of that. He went to work, he came home, he read the paper, he went to bed, and I snuck out the window. Simple. He was a very by the numbers guy. I was never very good with numbers."
"I'm sure he loves you." He said, once more rapping an arm around her.
"You know my dad is not a bad guy."
"I'm sure he's not."
"He lived his life the way he thought he was supposed to. He followed the rules taught to him by his non-fishing-non-Barbie-buying dad. He worked hard. He bought a nice house. He provided for my mom. All he asked in return was for his daughter to wear white dresses and go to cotillion and want the same life that he had. What a disappointment it must have been for him to get me."
"I can't imagine anyone seeing you as a disappointment." He told her truthfully.
"I bet you'd buy a Barbie for your daughter."
"Yeah, well, I'd probably give her the cash to buy it herself and meet her by the baseball cards."
"Hmm. You'll make a great dad."
"You make a great mom."
"Yeah. It's just the uh, daughter part I don't have down yet."
"Ok, hold on. That Camaro is dust." Luke said as he finally sped up.
