Hamlets-pirate: first off you are so right about the dirty, it was way too easy. Hey, congrats to getting to the center, and I know about how like almost everyone will have a different answer, but oh well I still say mine is right. Now your guess was 162 now it wasn't what I got, but thanks for the guess. Thanks soooo much for your review!

roywthepoodles: I'm glad to know you love my story. Yeah yeah yeah, I know all about all of that technical stuff, and I say screw that I'm right. LOL any way your guess was 679, and let me tell you that was damn close. So congrats this chapter is for you considering you got the closest. (what's a mer 57 licks anyway?)

Im perfectly imperfect: really glad you liked it. And I'm sorry to say 351 and 1/3 licks isn't the answer I was looking for. Oh well like you said at least you got the candy!

Chapter twelve: Stars Hollow's first annual campfire night

"Hey Babette, have you seen Luke anywhere?" Lorelai asked approaching her slightly, okay extremely crazy neighbor.

"Oh hey sugar, I think I saw him head that way." She said pointing towards the kitchen.

"Okay thanks." She turned to leave but Babette called out to stop her.

"Lorelai doll, is that new?" she asked pointing at Lorelai's necklace.

Crap what do I say to her? I can't just tell one of the biggest gossips in town that Luke gave this to me. Okay just act calm and natural, say nothing that would get Babette and Patty thinking. "Oh, um this? Well um yea-yeah it's new. Um well bye Babette," Lorelai called over her shoulder as she turned and hurried off into the kitchen. Well that wasn't suspicious sounding, god Gilmore you're really losing your touch.

Just then Patty came up to Babette. "Did you see that necklace she was wearing?" Babette asked.

"Yes I did."

"You think that was Luke's gift?"

"Looks like it. Now all they need is one good push then we'll have what the whole town has been waiting years for."

"Yeah, but what are we going to do?"

"Hmm, I think I have an idea."

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Lorelai walked out the backdoor and looked down the porch, where she saw Luke. She walked over to him.

"Hey." She said as she garbed his hand with hers.

"Hey yourself." He told her giving her hand a quick squeeze.

"Trying to get away from the crazy town folks?"

"I was but one of them found me."

"Hey!" she said slapping his arm. Luke just chuckled and wrapped an arm around Lorelai, sense they were the only two out there. They stood there looking out on the front yard as the snow slowly fell from the sky. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yeah it is." He paused and looked at her. "So are you."

Lorelai looked and smiled. She leaned in and gave Luke a quick kiss before she whispered. "Thank you."

They stood there for awhile in a comfortable silence until Lorelai started to get cold and they went back inside.

As they walked through the door Rory rushed over to them. "Mom, there you are! I've been looking all over for you!"

"Oh, we were just outside."

"Well come on Kirk is about to start his karaoke."

"Oh my god! I can't believe I almost missed that!"

"I know! Hurry up." Rory said rushing off in the direction of the living room.

"Come on Luke we can't miss this!" she said grabbing Luke's hand and dragging him in the direction Rory had just gone.

They reached the living room just in time to see Kirk start a medially of Christmas carols.

"Okay, now this pushes it over the top. Hands down this has been the best Christmas ever." She turned to Luke. "Everything about it was perfect."

Luke smiled at her. "Good."

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

The next day Lorelai ran into Luke's in a dire need for coffee.

"Ugh! Luke! Luke, I need coffee!" she got no reply, but she did get a few looks from the people in the diner. "Luke!"

Luke walked out from the kitchen. "No."

"What?"

"You asked for coffee and I said no." Luke stated simply.

"But I need coffee." She stressed the word need as she whined. "I have to go to work and I was up late last night."

"Hey, that was your own fault." Luke pointed out.

"Was not, I couldn't miss Kirk singing Jingle Bell Rock."

"Yeah well you didn't have to give an anchor presentation."

Lorelai snickered. "Oh yeah. Anyway that's besides the point, I need my coffee!" she said then gave Luke a pout.

Oh man she knows I can't refuse that face. "Fine, one cup." He told her sternly.

"Yes!" the pout always works.

Luke turned around and got Lorelai her coffee.

"Ooh, thank you." She said before gulping down her coffee, Luke just laughed.

The bells above the diner jingled and Taylor walked in with a handful of flyers.

Luke groaned and Lorelai's face lit up as Taylor approached the counter.

"What now Taylor?" Luke asked as he began to wipe down the counter top.

"Well Luke I was wondering if you would consider putting up a few little posters."

"Posters?"

"Well not even posters, flyers really."

"What's the difference between posters and flyers?"

"Posters are bigger." Taylor explained.

"He's right." Lorelai chimed in.

Luke shot her a death glare, before turning to face Taylor again.

"Taylor we go over this every damn time this town has another event! The answer is no!"

"Luke just consider it. Now you are the only one in this town that wont put up a flyer or two."

"And I'd like to keep it that way!"

"It's a new event that needs to be advertised!"

"Really Taylor, another night for all the crazy people of this town to gather together, do we really need it?"

Taylor continued completely ignoring Luke's comment. "It's Stars Hollow's first annual campfire night."

"Ooh, give me one!" Lorelai said to Taylor.

He turned and handed a flyer to Lorelai. "I'm glad to see that someone here appreciates the town events." He said putting emphases on the word someone.

"Taylor I'm not putting up any of your stupid flyers! So leave!"

"Fine." Taylor said turning around. "I'll just leave a few flyers here incase you change your mind."

"TAYLOR!" Luke yelled stepping out from behind the counter. Taylor quickly dropped a few flyers on one of the tables, then ran out the door.

Lorelai began to giggle as Luke took the flyers and threw them in the trash, the whole time mumbling about how stupid Taylor and his town events were.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Later that night Lorelai and Luke were sitting on the couch in Luke's apartment watching TV. Lorelai sitting in between Luke's legs and leaning on his chest.

"Hey Luke?"

"Yes."

"Um, would you maybe um like to go to the- the campfire night with me?"

Luke exhaled loudly be for speaking. "Lorelai you know I don't like to go to these things."

"I know, but I thought maybe just this once. Please for me we wont have to stay long."

Lorelai was really starting to get to Luke. "You really want to go don't you?"

She smiled a little. "Yeah I do, please!" Then to top it all off she brought out that famous pout of hers.

She always gets you with that Danes. "When is it?"

"This Friday at 8:00."

He thought about it for a second. "Fine, I'll go."

Lorelai's face lit up and a grin replaced the pout she had worn. "Thank you." She said then gave him a long kiss before turning back around. Luke smiled to and wrapped his arms around Lorelai bringing her closer to him. They both fell asleep I this position.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

"Lorelai." Luke got no answer. "Lorelai." He said again this time shaking her a little. "It's time to wake up, you have to go home."

She rolled over a little before mumbling, "no."

"Lorelai we over slept it almost 6:00."

This got her up. "Ugh you're kidding."

"No, now come on I have food and coffee for you to take with you for Rory and you."

"Okay." She said slowly getting off the couch. She walked around the apartment gathering her things as Luke got her food ready to go.

"Here you go." Luke said handing Lorelai a bag of food, and two to go cups of coffee.

"Thanks." She said then gave Luke a quick kiss. "You're the best babe." She called over her shoulder as she hurried out the door.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

It was Friday night at 6:00 when Lorelai walked into Luke's for dinner before heading to Star Hollow's first annual campfire night with him.

Those all so familiar bells jingled as Lorelai pushed the door opened. Luke looked up and smiled as he saw Lorelai enter and take a seat at the counter in front of him.

"Hey." She said brightly.

"Hey coffee?" he questioned.

"Do you even have to ask?"

"What was I thinking?" Luke said as he poured her a cup of coffee.

"I know." She answered then took a long deep sip of her coffee.

"So what do you want for dinner?"

"Umm, how about a burger, some fries, and more coffee."

"Why do you insist on eating this crap?"

"Cause its good, duh."

"Of course." He said sarcastically. "I'll be right back with your food."

"Okay thanks." Luke turned and left for the kitchen to make Lorelai's food.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Two hours, one burger, an order of fries, endless cups of coffee, and a piece of pie later Lorelai had finished her food and was sitting at a table waiting for Luke to come back from the kitchen. They were the only two left in the dinner sense Luke had closed early because of the town festival.

"You ready to go?" Luke asked Lorelai as he walked up to her table.

"Yeah." She stood up and started gathering her things. "Hey Luke can I have a cup of coffee to go, you know because it's so cold outside and I will need something to warm me up, and-"

"Lorelai!" Luke cut her off, and pointed to the table in front of her. Sitting there was a to go cup of Luke's coffee.

She picked it up with a smile on her face. "You know me to well."

"Never." He replied before leading her out the door and across the street where multiple campfires were setup and all ready burning, with people gathered around them and more soon to come.

Luke and Lorelai wondered over to the most secluded camp fire were they find Miss Patty, Sookie, Babette, Morey, and a few other residents of Stars Hollow. They took a seat next to Sookie on a log by the fire.

"Hey guys," Sookie greeted them.

"Hey Sookie," Lorelai answered.

"Hi," Luke said.

"So how long have you been here?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh not long I got here about five minutes before you two."

"Good, now come on lets get some marshmallows for s'mores!" Lorelai said with a grin then turned to Luke.

Uh oh I know that face way to well. "Oh no, there is no way I'm eating one of those death traps." He told her shaking his head.

"That's what you say now, but just wait until later." She whispered before getting up and walking off with Sookie.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Patty and Babette watched Lorelai leave before they began to talk.

"So how long should we wait until we leave." Babette whispered to Patty.

"I'd say about half an hour after she comes back." Patty replied.

"That sounds good. Will every one know to follow us?"

"Yeah, some will come with us and others will follow shortly."

"Okay, so we're all set?"

"We're all set." They both nodded then returned their attention to the fire. As they waited for Lorelai to come back and begin the countdown.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

It was a little over half an hour when Patty and Babette decided it was time to head out.

"Well I think we're going to wonder around a few of the other campfires for awhile," Babette said as she and Morey stood up.

"Oh, I think I'm going to join you two," Patty said also getting up.

"Okay, bye you guy." Lorelai called.

"Bye dolls." With that a number of the towns people that had been at the campfire were gone and with in five minutes so were the rest of them. Leaving Luke and Lorelai all alone, or so they thought. While they sat by the fire Miss Patty and Babette were watching from the bushes.

"Do you see anything?" Patty asked.

"Not yet, they're just talking." Babette said never taking her eyes off the couple.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

Back at the fire Luke and Lorelai where having a great time being by themselves.

"Hey Luke?" Lorelai asked and turned to face him.

"Yeah?" he turned to face her too.

"Well we're all alone…" she faded off.

"Yeah."

She leaned forward a little then repeated herself, this time raising her eyebrows a little. "We're all alone."

Luke got what she meant. "Just one."

"I can live with that." She smiled and leaned in. their lips met in a passionate soft kiss. Once they broke away they were both smiling. Lorelai turned and leaned against Luke, he wrapped an arm around her, rubbed her arm with his hand, then kissed the top of her head. Lorelai grabbed two sticks with marshmallows on them, and handed one to Luke.

"I told you I wasn't going to eat that."

"Come on just one." she begged.

"Fine one, but that's it." He told her sternly. She smiled and scooted closer to him as they roasted their marshmallows.

> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >

"Oh my god, oh my god!" Babette screamed.

"What?" Patty grabbed the binoculars away from Babette. "Oh my god, oh my god!"

"Can you believe this? After all these years!" Babette squealed.

"Wait, they look calm and natural, like they've been doing it for years."

"What?" Babette asked confused.

"No one is running, no one is freaking out, they're not even talking about it. They're just, sitting there together, he has his arm around her and they're roasting marshmallows."

"You're kidding!"

"No, I want to get to the bottom of this."

"Me two."

"This is Stars Hollow nothing can stay secret for long."

"You're right. Lets go."
