Luke walked awkwardly to Lorelai's house. He had his hands in his pocket, and the baseball cap Lorelai had given him on his head. He turned into her driveway and started towards the Jeep. However, he stopped when he saw that Lorelai's shades were open. He walked over to the kitchen window and saw her sitting there, at four in the morning, drinking coffee. She glanced in his direction and did a double take as she noticed him standing there. She took a deep breath and walked over to the window and opened it.

"Luke? What the hell are you doing here at four in the morning?"

"I, uh, came to fix your car."

"At four in the morning?"

"It's before the diner opens."

"At four in the morning."

"Okay, look, can you stop saying four in the morning?"

"Maybe."

"Lorelai, I'm really sorry about lying to you."

Lorelai sighed.

"Why don't you come in?"

When Luke was situated and with tea (he remained opposed to coffee) they began to have the discussion again.

"Luke, look. I know, I know that I'm a hypocrite. That's one of my problems. I do things to people that I wouldn't be able to handle if they did them to me. Take Rory and my parents, for example. I had her, I raised her, I left them. But if Rory did the same to me, I don't think I would ever be able to forgive her, to forgive myself. It's not just about the lying. I know that, you know that. I, at least, hope you know that."

Luke nodded.

"I know that."

"But see, the thing is, I need to be able to deal with it. I need to forgive you, and I need to move on. I know I do."

"But can you?"

"I can try."

Luke looked at her for a long while.

"Okay."

"Okay."

Lorelai stood up abruptly.

"My car, that's what you came for! You need to fix my car, before I have to go to work, before you have to go to work."

"It's alright, Caesar will open."

"Well, okay then, but I should get in to work early."

"I thought you liked to torture Michel?"

"I do, but Sookie's going crazy today because there's these big fancy clients coming in, and she has to cook, and oh dear god, did I just say clients?"

Luke laughed.

"You did."

"I'm beginning to feel like a businessman, you have no idea."

"A man?"

"Businesswoman, whatever."

"I just wasn't aware of your sex-change."

Lorelai hit him with a dish towel.

"Ow!"

"You big wimp, I hit you with a towel!"

"Well, it still hurt!"

"Right."

"So I should probably start fixing that car."

"You probably should."

"Uh… would you happen to have my tools?"

"Huh?"

"My tools, I left them here."

"Oh, well, uh…"

"Please say you didn't loose my tools!"

Luke began to look worried.

"I didn't! I just… seem to have misplaced them."

"Lorelai, I can't fix your car without my tools!"

"I'll find them!"

She got up and began her search. She searched high and low for those tools, but she couldn't find them. Luke was pissed, to say the least. And Lorelai was extremely worried.

"I had them here! I swear I did!"

"Yeah, but you lost them."

"Well, they weren't my responsibility!"

"I left them here."

"Exactly! You left them here. I didn't."

"Well, of course you didn't. It's your house."

"Exactly! My house! Not your storage space!"

"Well, it's not my fault you have some kind of attachment to those tools."

"Hey! It is too, you're the one who left them here!"

"Not for you to get attached to, because you make me fix things here all the time."

"So?"

"Well, it's your fault."

"No, it's your fault."

"Your fault."

"Your faul- wait, why am I arguing with you?"

"You started it."

"Lorelai, are you five?"

"No, I'm six."

"Very mature."

"Thank you. I do try."

"Well you obviously try very hard, as you don't have my tools!"

"Not my fault!"

"Right."

"Right indeed."

"Lorelai, I was being sarcastic."

"I know!"

"No, you didn't."

"Did so!"

"You're acting like a five year old."

"Is it just me, or do you keep on accusing me of being five?"

"It's just you."

Lorelai gasped.

"No! It's not!"

"Fine, it's not."

"Ha! I knew it! If I was five, then how was I supposed to know to keep your tools?"

"Lorelai, can't we just focus on finding the tools?"

"Fine."

Luke began to walk up the stairs, but stopped for a moment.

"Lorelai, I know where they are."

"Where?"

Luke shook his head and walked into the bathroom. He opened up the bottom drawer of the plastic make-up case in the closet and triumphantly pulled out the tools. Lorelai, who was right behind him, gasped in awe.

"I knew that's where I put them!"

"Where you put them?"

"Yeah…"

"No. Where I left them because I knew you would never find them here because you never look in this closet."

"Fine. Where you put them."

"Thank you."

Luke walked outside and began to work on the Jeep, with Lorelai watching.

"Wow, you're sexy when you work."

"Lorelai…"

"Oh, come on Luke! We've been separated; I miss your sexy body."

"Lorelai!"

"What?"

"Please, I'm trying to work."

"But… but…"

"No buts."

Lorelai giggled.

"Diiirty."

Luke just groaned.

Lorelai smirked.

"Lukey, I think you like it."

"Lorelai…"

"Ohh, you do, you like it, you like me admiring your sexy body!"

"LORELAI!"

Lorelai stepped back a bit.

"Scarily sexy."

Luke just ignored her and worked on.

"Strong and silent, I like that…"

"Lorelai, what would it take for me to shut you up?"

"Oh, I don't know, plane tickets to Puerto Rico, tickets for a Paul Anka concert, with the dog Paul Anka accompanying me, perhaps a-"

Luke got up, walked over, and kissed her heavily on the lips. When they finally broke away, Lorelai touched her lips, smiling.

"That works too."

A/N 2- Once again, guys, I'm really sorry. I hope I haven't lost my audience, besides, -ahem- SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINALE, Luke and Lorelai got back together in the show. And… I'm not sure if all stories qualify as AU if they follow a specific storyline after a while and stray away from the show, but this story is basically AU now. So I'm not quite sure if it really matters if Luke and Lorelai got back together in the show, since I'm just writing blindly about it now. I plan on finishing this story, and there will still be some hints and references to the show, like for example Rory and Logan breaking up, but other than that, I'm just writing freely now. That all contained spoilers, didn't it? Well then: SPOLER END. I do hope I haven't lost my audience, so I'd love it if some of you guys could drop by and leave me a review. Thanks for reading.
