A/N: Sorry about the delay, guys. Senior year, so life is crazy! I'll start updating more often, but reviews always help (they remind me). Thanks for all the ones from the last chapter, and because it took so long, I'll upload two chapters. Hope you enjoy!

Lorelai sat down at the counter and rested her chin against her hands, waiting for Luke to come over. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye. Noticing he wasn't going to be paying any attention to her anytime soon, she trimmed her fingernails loudly against the countertop. She watched him flinch, but the only look he gave her was one that clearly wasn't favorable. She grinned. She loved teasing Luke. She pulled her cell phone out under the counter and dialed the number to the restaurant.

Luke groaned and answered the phone. "Luke's," he said gruffly.

Lorelai hung up. Luke groaned. Lorelai tried again.

"Luke's," Luke said again, a little more annoyed. Lorelai brought the phone to her ear and smiled sweetly.

"Isn't it rude to ignore your best customer?" She folded her hands in front of her and smiled at him.

"You're not my best customer." Luke said. "You never pay."

Lorelai huffed. "You never let me."

"That's because the last time I made you pay for your meal, you started going on about Alvin and the Chipmunks and how chipmunks don't have to pay for their meal and neither should you and I don't want to hear about chipmunks anymore, so I let you get away with eating here for free." Luke growled, hanging up the phone. He then turned around, looked Lorelai square in the eye, and pointed to the no cell phone sign.

Lorelai opened her mouth to protest. "But Luke, my cat died. She got in a car accident…" Lorelai let fake tears swell in her eyes. "She was driving. She'd only had a little bit to drink, but poor Muffin…"

"Oh geez!" Luke interrupted her, putting a coffee cup in front of her. "Will that shut you up?"

"I don't know if I'll ever get over Muffin," Lorelai said sadly, taking a sip of her coffee. Suddenly, she felt something hit her forehead. She looked down to see a blueberry muffin sitting on the counter.

"There! There's your precious muffin!" Luke said, heading over to another table. Lorelai giggled and happily opened the wrapper, eating the enclosed muffin.

Before she'd put three bites in her mouth, she heard Luke from behind her. "That stuff will kill you, you know?"

She nodded. "I've been told. But I've also been told that Santa Claus is real and that dinosaurs are extinct."

Luke looked at her funny. "Dinosaurs ARE extinct."

"Not uh!" Lorelai exclaimed. "Barney's a dinosaur and he's on PBS every morning at 10! Ha!" Luke rolled his eyes and brought his hand to his head.

"Right, I forgot about Barney."

"Aww, how could you forget about Barney?" Lorelai asked, feigning surprise.

"The only reason he's famous is because of that stupid song." Luke said, wiping the counter down.

"I love you, you love me…" Lorelai started, singing completely off-key. "We're a happy family, with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too?"

"I love you, too." Luke said, looking at her. Lorelai looked up, stunned.

"W-w-w-what…" she stammered.

"I thought that might get you to shut up." Luke said, taking her coffee cup and putting it in the sink. Lorelai nodded and quickly and quietly got out of her seat.

"Thanks for breakfast." She said, walking quickly out of the diner. Luke watched her, his mind circling around one thought. Could it be that she was actually disappointed?

Lorelai walked home briskly and went up the stairs and opened the closet doors. Rummaging through everything in the closet she finally found an old box. She opened it up and pulled out her worn-out running shoes. She knew how she was going to get her mind off of this. She knew how to feel better. She was going to run.
