As promised, a Luke and Lorelai ROMANTIC chapter.
REMINDER: If you like conflict, this is not the story for you… this is PURE Lorelai and Luke fluff… really, you wont find any conflict… except the occasional banter between Luke and Lorelai which we are sorely lacking from this season.
Wow… I would just like to point out the good mood I am in. FIRST OF ALL: I had a snow day (the first in five years) on Wednesday, and Thursday I had a half-day… AND WOW NO HOMEWORK! WOOOOOOOO. And possibly the best news EVER. No more Chris… I feel like I should feel somewhat bad for them, you know… or feel bad for Rory, who's parents just split up… or maybe for Paul Anka, because he will now have NO real male role model… (OH wait, Chris isn't that much of a male role model anyways)… but I don't. Good-bye Chris, please let the door hit your ass on the way out and stay the hell away for Lorelai and Luke because if you come back (this is a threat) I will personally drive the place they shoot Gilmore Girls, and run on the set while you are there and hit you over the head with a pot of coffee. (No hate against the actor, but man, Chris you should leave… go to Paris with Gigi Man, no one wants you here.)

"Do you think the restaurant is fancy?" Lorelai asked as she stepped out of the bathroom. She was wearing a knee-length baby-blue summer dress and her hair was down and curly.
"I hope not, I didn't bring anything that would…" He trailed off and looked at Lorelai. "You gotta stop doing that"
"What? Walking out of the bathroom and leaving you speechless?" She flirted jokingly and walked over to him, sitting next to him on the couch.
"You look beautiful," He said and kissed her softly on the lips.
"I like the flannel look, very Luke," She mumbled against his lips, eyes still shut.
"I didn't bring anything else," He said and kissed her again. "Unlike you who was planning on going out." He said and ran his hands down her arms.
Under his touch she shivered and kissed him again, but this kiss lasted longer than their other kisses they had so far.
He slowly ran his tongue against he bottom lip and she let him in with no hesitation. The kiss grew more passionate and Lorelai leaned back on the sofa and Luke crawled on top of her, only breaking the kiss briefly for oxygen.
Lorelai put her arms around his neck and he brought his mouth to her neck, causing her to moan softly.
"Luke," She whispered softly. "Luke," She said a bit louder, "Luke."
"What?" He said breaking away. "Sorry, I just… got carried away."
"No, I don't mind… really… just we're going to miss our reservations"
"Right, sorry." Luke said and got up quickly.
"Stop saying sorry, really, there's no need for sorry, you're a great kisser." She flirted.
"Really?" Luke asked, blushing.
"Really." She smiled and began walking out the door.
"You're not so bad yourself."
"Okay lets go before we never leave this place." She said and left the cool air-conditioned trailer into the humid air.
"Fancy place." Lorelai said as they entered the restaurant. It wasn't really that fancy, it was somewhere between Luke's and a high-end expensive restaurant.
"Names please?" The waiter said from behind her counter.
"It should be under Lorelai Gilmore," Lorelai said and the waiter brought them over to a corner of the restaurant, away from other people.
The table had a candle in the middle and the lighting was low.
"Thanks," Lorelai said once the waiter took their drink orders. "Wow, looks like they planned this out well." Lorelai said looking at the table.
"Well we did win a couple's dinner… so I'm assuming they guessed we were a couple."
"Which we are…" Lorelai said looking at Luke for confirmation.
"Yes," He said nodding his head.
"Then looks like their planning was for good"
Both Lorelai and Luke stayed in an awkward silence for a few minutes.
Lorelai glanced nervously at the menu and then looked at Luke who looked equally nervous.
"Okay what's going on? It's feels like a first date… oh," Lorelai nodded realizing the answer to her own question.
"This is kind of like a first date… right?"
"I guess if you want it to be our first date…" Lorelai said.
"Well I'm still going to take you out once we go back to Stars Hollow, and you know, actually pay that time" Luke said.
"Yeah you better." Lorelai smiled. "So… this is our first date?"
"Yeah… I never thought our first date would be six hours away from Stars Hollow,"
"You've… you've thought about our first date?" Lorelai asked.
"Well… no, I mean… uh, kind of… briefly… not like I've well-"
Lorelai cut Luke off by saying, "Me too, just so you know"
"Really?" Luke asked and Lorelai nodded in response.
There were a few minutes more of silence until Lorelai put down her menu and looked across the table at Luke.
"Luke?" Lorelai asked.
"Hm?" He answered putting down his menu.
"Why do you… I mean, you and me, why has it taken so long?" Lorelai asked suddenly having an interest in her hands.
"Uh, well, maybe we were both scared of taking the risk," Luke said nervously.
"Are you happy we're taking the risk now?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah, really happy… are you happy?"
"Yeah really happy," Lorelai repeated and smiled brightly at Luke.
"Mushy moment," Lorelai smiled and looked down at her menu. "Okay, I'm getting a burg-" Lorelai started and Luke cut her off.
"No, there is no way I'm letting you get a burger, again."
"Fine… I'll get… spaghetti" Lorelai said and raised her eyebrows looking at Luke.
"What?" He asked.
"If I get spaghetti, we could have a Lady and The Tramp moment and-"
"Get something else Lorelai,"
"Okay, I'll get a steak"
"Red meat will-"
"Kill me… I know, been there, done that." Lorelai finished his sentence. "Baked potato, I'm good… I've settled"
"Great, finally, I'll get a salad."
"You're going to only have a salad for dinner?"
"Maybe pasta too"
"Okay, enough talk on food… let's talk about something else"
"Okay…" Luke said and dragged on the word, not sure what to talk about. "So how's Rory?"
"She said she was good, and that she's really happy that you and me are together, finally. She added the finally by the way"
"Good, that's good."
They sat in silence for a couple more minutes, "Lorelai," Luke said seriously.
"Luke," Lorelai said matching his serious tone.
"Um, you and me, and this thing we're doing, I just need you to know that I am all in."
Lorelai inhaled a deep breath and looked down at the table.
Breath out Gilmore… you can do it, breathe out and say you're all in too. You ARE all in, you love this guy, he's your best friend, just say it… do it… 5…4…3
"Are you scared?" Luke asked.
Damn Luke and his amazing psychic powers.
"I'm… no, I'm not scared." She replied simply fighting the voice in her head yelling 'RUN FOR THE DOOR'
"Really?"
"Are you surprised?" Lorelai asked smiling.
"I mean, it was just random, I thought maybe you would run for the door… but I'm happy you didn't"
And the question again… does this amazing guy ALSO have the ability to read minds?
"Me too… and I'm all in, with you… too"
Luke smiled and so did Lorelai, and the waiter came by to take their orders.
"We have like," Lorelai started and looked at Luke's watch. "A half an hour until we have to be at the concert."
"Okay, what are we gunna do?" Luke asked as they walked through Six Flags.
"Let's go on the Ferris Wheel!"
"Why?" Luke asked.
"Because it's like the only ride we haven't gone on so far, so let's go on it!"
"Fine, let's go" Luke gave in and followed Lorelai to the Ferris wheel line.
The line was almost empty, so they went on pretty fast. As it climbed Lorelai looked out at the sun that was setting, while Luke paid more attention to Lorelai, who was sitting right next to him.
As Luke sat, with his arm around Lorelai, he couldn't help but feel like the luckiest guy in the world. Lorelai was amazing, her personality, her beauty… he couldn't believe that just the day before, he finally got the courage to ask her out.
"Cool, we're going to be stuck at the top!" Lorelai said and Luke came out of his trance.
"Fun," Luke said sarcastically.
"This has been a really cool vacation, thanks for coming"
"I believe you have said that before"
"I know, but I'm really happy… I just think you should know that."
"Me too," Luke smiled and leaned in and kissed Lorelai gently on the lips. When he pulled away, she put her hand on the back of his head and pulled him in again to kiss her.
They kissed for a minute of two before the Ferris wheel started moving again.
"So is that the concert place over there?" Luke asked pointing to the parking lot.
"I think so, it's going to be so great!" Lorelai smiled rested her head in the crook between Luke's neck and his shoulder.
"What was your first concert?" Lorelai asked.
"Um, never actually been to a concert"
"Liar."
"No this time I'm serious. I've never seen the point of going to a concert, blowing out your ears, and not being able to hear anything for like three days afterwards."
"No," Lorelai replied, "It's the experience, I took Rory to a Bangles concert when she was six… she loved it and talked about it for like a year afterwards… It was great for me because it took me like three paychecks to pay for the tickets and she really liked it"
"You brought Rory to a concert when she was six?"
"Yeah, it's great… especially because of how great she slept that night… peace and quiet"
Luke chuckled a bit and watched Lorelai was she watched the sunset.
"Tickets please," The guy at the gate asked at Luke and Lorelai approached him.
"Here" Lorelai said handing over the tickets the DJ gave them
"Okay, enter over at gate six, you're row thirty."
"Thirty?" Lorelai asked shocked. "That's like the last row!"
"No, three rows in front of the last row"
"This sucks, we went skydiving for back row seats," Lorelai said to Luke as they went over to gate six.
"Didn't you say for the Bangles concert you and Sookie went to a while back that you were in the back row?"
"Well yeah, but it was indoors, so we were up higher and could actually see the band, we're outside right now, we wont be able to see anything…"
"Isn't the point of a concert to hear the band?" Luke asked as they went through the gate and found the area they were supposed to be standing.
"No, if I wanted to do that then I would listen to their CD."
"Ah" Luke said nodding.
"Concert starts in half an hour, why are we here so early?" Luke asked.
"So we could reserve our seats" Lorelai said matter-of-factly.
"But our seats are already reserved… hence the tickets."
"Yeah, but nothings worse than coming here last minute, and the people on either sides of you are standing so close together, you're smushed for the whole concert… which minimizes dancing potential."
"You quite the expert on concerts"
"I know, I'm just that skilled."
"Of course"
As they were standing there, causally talking to each other, a lady came and stood next to Lorelai, with about six kids, under the age of ten, standing next to her.
"This is going to be a long concert." Lorelai said as the smallest kid started crying.
"See, I told you, I'm like totally famous!" Lorelai shouted over the band playing a song.
"Just because a song has the same name as you does not make you famous"
"Hey, you're bursting my bubble here!"
"Sorry" Luke replied.
The woman next to Lorelai (who had been eating the whole concert, and every time she reached into the bag of chips she was eating she would elbow Lorelai.) reached into her cooler and elbowed Lorelai once again.
"Luke can you PLEASE switch places with me?" Lorelai begged.
"No way"
"I can't believe you wouldn't switch places with me… you'd rather I die!" Lorelai complained.
Lorelai, avoiding the lady next to her, moved as close to Luke as she possibly could, which involved her arms around him and her head on his chest.
The STYX changed their song to Mr. Roboto.
"This is my favorite song!" Lorelai cooed.
"Seriously?"
"Not really… but man it's a great song… cheesy, but a catchy song…" Lorelai said and started to sing the song.
"That's what you said about EVERY song!"
"Not every one… just a couple of them, Renegade…"
"ALL of them"
"Yeah good point."
The song went by; when it was halfway done Lorelai had stopped singing and was deep in thought.
"Hey Luke?" She asked, but then realized he couldn't hear her so she shouted louder. "Luke?"
"Yeah?" He shouted back.
"When we go back to Stars Hollow… it's not going to change right?"
"What's not going to change?" Luke shouted back.
"Us… you and me, you know, it's going to be this good when we go back home?"
"Yeah… I mean if that's what I want." Lorelai nodded and smiled, the song ended and the next one came on 'Come Sail Away'.
"Oh my gosh, I totally lied, THIS is the BEST song, pick me up, put me on your back!" Lorelai begged.
"Excuse me?"
"I can't see the band, put me on your shoulders, come on, other people are doing it!"
"I bet you were one of those kids in high school who gave into peer pressure…"
"You bet right, now put me on your shoulders!"
Luke sighed, bent down and said, "I can't believe I'm doing this"
Once Lorelai was up on Luke's shoulders, she joined the crowd and started singing along with the crowd.
"A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me"
Luke rolled his eyes and held Lorelai's legs closer to him so she couldn't fall. Lorelai wasn't exactally the bst singer in the world, but he was enjoying this… although he stopped injoying it when the lady next to him, elbowed him in the stomach.
"Aw geeze" He mumbled, which no one heard due to the loud concert.
After the song, Lorelai crawled of Luke's shoulders and stood next to him, the opposite side as the one she was standing on before.
"That was totally awesome!" Lorelai said and put her hands on his cheeks and kissed him quickly before turning her attention back to the stage.
The next song, and last song went on, it was a slow song.
"Luke let's dance"
"No way"
"EVERYONE is doing it!" Lorelai said gesturing around.
"Once again-" Lorelai cut him off.
"Peer pressure, yeah-de-yeah, I know… please, let's dance, it's our last night here, and we have to have fun"
"Fine, but only for a minute."
Sure… just for a moment Lorelai thought rolling her eyes.
Lorelai rapped her arms around Luke's neck and Luke's hands rested in the small of her back as they swayed slowly to the music.
What can I do?
Pictures of you still make me cry
Trying to live without your love
It's so hard to do
Some nights I wake up
I look at your pillow
Hoping that I'll see you there
But I get up each day
Not much to say
I've nowhere to go
Loneliness fills me up inside
Cause I'm missing you
So if you'll give us a chance to remember
The love we had once together
Wait and See
Time is all that we really need
I'm praying you won't say no
I mean to tell you
Don't let it end
Baby, we could have so much more
Don't let it end
Honey please don't walk out that door
I'm telling you baby I made my mistakes
But I'll make you this promise
To do what it takes
I'll be there to protect you
And hold you tight
You got my loving, baby, every single night
Don't let it end
I'm begging you...Don't let it end this way
Don't let it end
I'm begging you
Don't let it end this WAY
Don't let it end
Baby, we could have so much more
Don't let it end
Honey, please don't walk out that door
Don't let it end
I'm begging you
Don't let it end this way
Don't let it end
I'm begging you
Don't let it end this way
Oh no no
Oh no no
What will I do?
If you say we're through
I need you to stay
Honey, Don't let it end this way
When the song ended people started exiting the parking lot area, most of them going to their cars, it was past midnight when Luke and Lorelai got home.
"Tonight was perfect Luke"
"Yeah it was" Luke said as they stood in the trailer together.
"Luke?" Lorelai asked as she rapped her arms around his neck. Luke looked at Lorelai and Lorelai continued, "Kiss me."
He leaned in and kissed her and they stayed that way for what seemed like forever before they fell atop the bed.
by the way, I don't own the lyrics or STYX

Seriously, my life has been so hectic the last little bit. Starting a new semester, life in general, I'm SO SO sorry. And then, FINALLY, I had the chapter done, (Last Friday (FEB 16) and my stupid Internet wasn't working… UGH. That pissed me off, I had it done and it took me like until today to get my Internet working again. So here it is.
By the way, sorry for the vague concert, I've never actually been to one before so I'm not exactly a pro at the whole concert thing. AND, I'm only fourteen, so that is why this fan fiction is only rated T… I can't go beyond kissing, sorry!
Anyways, please review; I hope I didn't lose my reviews for my long lack of posting!
Oh yeah, next chapter is the last one, it's going to be the last day, so I hope you guys really like this story so far… it took me a while to make this because inspiration has been hard to find with what's going on in the show…
Oh yeah, it was unintentional, but this chapter was twice as long as my longest chapter SO far!!! It was over two thousand words minus the authors NOTES … anyways, hands getting cramped; I hope to have the final chapter up by tonight or LATEST, this Friday!
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!
MEGGAN.
