Wow a lot of people are not too happy with me. Well if you think that this story line is just ridiculous then A. Don't read it or B. Pretend like it's all one big joke. And now let the craziness commence.

"I came to talk to you." Logan stood up.

"About what?" Lorelai was not in the mood for this today.

"I want you back."

"Logan…"

"No, Lorelai don't do that. I gave you time. I didn't call and I didn't come by even though I really wanted to. I thought you would have figured it out by now."

"Figured what out exactly?"

"That you want me." Lorelai's eyes widened. How could he come here and just act like nothing happened? But a better question was, how did he know exactly how she was feeling.

"Logan I told you we can't do this." Lorelai made sure to emphasize each word. "We can't do this to Rory and I can't stand being the town whore for any longer."

"You didn't deny it." Lorelai shook her head and then walked to her front door, taking out her keys. "You didn't deny that you want me."

"Don't do this to me Logan."

"Lorelai, you want me and I want you. That should be all that matters." Logan walked up to her and grabbed her arm, spinning her around to face him. They were less than two inches apart. They locked eyes and Logan leaned in and kissed her. Lorelai returned the kiss, but then pulled back. "See what I mean? It's all that matters." He grabbed her hand. "So we'll meet at eight, I'll bring the food and you bring the videos." Lorelai opened her mouth, but Logan put his fingers to her lips. "That wasn't a question." He smiled his cocky grin, kissed her on the cheek and then strode off to his car. Lorelai stood on her porch, dazed for a moment and then went inside.

She sank down onto the couch. What was she going to do? She had just slept with the man who makes every meal for her after just getting back on good terms with him. And now she was dating her much younger boyfriend again. At least she thought they were dating. Her first thought was to pick up the phone and call Rory. Her hand was on the receiver before she realized that that was not an option, not anymore. She had screwed that one up too badly.

That evening after work Lorelai walked into the diner. Immediately Luke's face lit up and he walked towards her. He tried to kiss her, but she turned her head so that he kissed her cheek instead. "Luke I need to talk to you." He shoved the plates that he was holding at the nearest server. The two of them walked outside.

"What is it?"

"Look Luke last night's dinner was great." Lorelai stopped, not really knowing what to say.

"But," Luke prompted.

"But we both know that what happened afterwards was a mistake." Lorelai kicked her shoe in the gravel.

"Was I that bad?"

"No, Luke. It's not that. It's just that well…" Her foot kicked more furiously.

"He's back isn't he?" She nodded. "You know what I'm not mad."

"You're not?" Lorelai looked at him with shock.

"No because I know that he will inevitably break your heart and you will come back to me."

"Well that's a little…" Luke put his finger to her lips.

"You know I'm right. And you know what I'm ok with you dating him. Go off and do whatever you want. But when he dumps you for someone younger or you break up with him because you finally grow up, then come find me. Because I love you Lorelai. I think I always will. So I'll be here when you want me." He hesitated for a moment and then pecked her on the cheek before turning to go back into the diner. Twenty people hurried from the window that they had been pressed up against and attempted to assume nonchalant positions. Luke stopped with his hand on the doorknob. "But Lorelai, next time you come to me, make sure that it really is over." She nodded and he walked into the diner.

"Don't you think that it's a bit ironic that this is how we got together in the first place?" Logan asked Lorelai. She scooted closer to him on the couch.

"How do you figure?"

"Well the first time I felt true sparks for you was when Christopher came over that one night. I figure that's when this whole thing really started."

"You think too much. Just enjoy the movie." Lorelai shoved another Milk Dud in her mouth and turned to the screen. The phone rang. "Damn you people. Get your timing better." She hopped over Logan's legs, propped up on the coffee table, and picked up the phone. "What?"
"Is that how you answer the phone?" Lorelai could practically feel her mother's condescension.

"Hello mother."

"What if someone important was calling?"

"Isn't someone important calling me now?"

"Don't take that tone with me Lorelai. I mean what if the Dean called your house would you answer your phone with that unwelcome what?"

"Yes."

"And then what would you tell Rory when she asked you why she was kicked out of college?"

"That her Dean really needs to get a life if he's kicking kids out of college because their mom's are bitchy."

"Is that really what you would tell her?"

"No mom you're right that's not what I would tell her. I wouldn't tell her anything because I'm currently not talking to Rory."

"Not talking to her. Well she didn't mention that to me."

"When were you talking to Rory?" She sat down on the couch and Logan mouthed words to her, but she waved him off.

"Just a moment ago."

"Was she…I mean did she sound like she was all right?"

"Why don't you just call her up and ask her?" Emily asked as if this was the most obvious thing in the world. "Or better yet you can ask her on Friday when you see her."

"On Friday, when I see her." Lorelai repeated. "Sorry mom it's a little loud over here," Lorelai said a little louder despite the fact that Logan had paused the movie. "Could you repeat what you just said?"

"I said that you can ask her yourself on Friday when you see her at dinner."

"At dinner?"

"Yes your father is finally feeling better and we thought that this was as good a time as any to reinstate Friday night dinners."

"I don't think…"

"Nonsense," Emily brushed Lorelai off. "Rory's already agreed and she's bringing her boyfriend, Marty I think she said, such a shame about her and Logan." Lorelai looked at Logan, wondering just how much Rory had told Emily. "And you, are you dating anyone?"

"Well…"

"If you are, bring him. It will be horrid if we have an odd number of guests. I can't believe it, all the girls back together! I better go tell the chef that we'll be four more. I'll see you Friday."

"Yeah see you." Lorelai hung up the phone.

"Who was that?"

"My mother." Lorelai didn't face him, but instead looked straight ahead, unblinking.

"You ok?" Logan waved his hand in front of her face.

"I'm having dinner with her Friday."

"Well that's not…too bad."

"I'm having dinner with her and dad and Rory."

"I know you and Rory are having a rough patch, but it's not like this is the first time that the four of you have had dinner together."

"Rory's bringing her boyfriend and I'm supposed to bring mine."

"I take that to mean that your mother doesn't know that we're dating."

"Are you crazy?!" Lorelai finally faced him. "Why in the hell would I tell my mother something like that? I might as well put a bullet in my head, save her the trouble."

"Well then we'll just surprise her."

"Surprise her? When a crazy man has a gun in his hand finger on the trigger, do you just go in and surprise him. No!"

"Does your mother happen to have some gun fetish that I should be aware of?" Logan tried to joke with Lorelai, but she shot him an exasperated look. "Sorry I'm just trying to lighten the mood. They don't really make a handbook with instructions on what to do in these kinds of situations. I'm doing the best I can."

"I know. It's just I don't want to go to dinner Friday, but it seems to me like I have no choice."

"Don't worry I'll be there for you the whole time." But Lorelai was looking at him with a hesitant face. "Or not?"

"I don't think that this would be the best time to spring this on them."

"Come on Rory will probably tell them the whole story, don't you want me there for support."

"Logan I really think that it would be best if you didn't come."

"Look Lorelai it's not that difficult. We go together, tell them that we're dating and they can make of it what they want to."

"Seriously was the Bay of Pigs Invasion your idea?"

"It can't be that bad."

"Please Logan just let me go alone Friday. We can tell them some other time."

"Promise?"

"Pinky swear." The two of them settled back on the couch. "Dinner with Eva and Adolf. This should be interesting." Logan laughed and put his arm around Lorelai.
