Previously, Kirk and Lulu have devised a devious plan to get Luke and Lorelai together. So far this is the remnants of Part A or the Covert operation, Luke is upstairs, angry with Kirk and his faux cousin setting up a faux Starbucks and wanting to date Lorelai. Lorelai is locked up in her office upset with Lulu's faux friend Beth who wants to get into Luke's pants. Kirk is headed back to headquarters to meet up with lulu to discuss Part B of his new covert operation.
Kirk's headquarters for lack of better place was temporarily in his mother's kitchen. He had called Lulu to meet him there after he left Luke's. Kirk had sat at the table and began to plot out charts, graphs, and statistics. Lulu walked through the door and smiled immediately upon seeing Kirk.
"I'm so happy. This seems to be going so well according to plan. This is great fun!" Lulu announced.
"I always wanted to be a secret agent actually working out in the field. I guess this is as close as I'm going to get to it." Kirk looked up with a half smile on his face.
"So what is next? I have a fake friend, Beth, who wants to get into Luke's pants. At least that is what I have told Lorelai." Lulu couldn't help but feel devious. "Part of me feels guilty about this because Lorelai really did seam to get upset."
"No worries Lulu." Kirk replied. "This all part of the plan, they are obviously going to get jealous. The big question is what are they going to do about it?" Kirk bit the cap off of his pen, "Okay so we have an upset Lorelai thinking your friend is coming soon to steal Luke away from her. We have a jealous Luke who doesn't want me to set up my fake cousin with Lorelai. What is our next plan of action?"
Lulu sat down at the table beside Kirk and grabbed a pen. She began to write down a few notes.
Lorelai sat alone in her office for what seamed like an eternity, but it was just 15 minutes. She was running scenarios over and over in her head concerning Luke. She had no idea how much Luke had meant to her. Her head was beginning to hurt and she had to think fast on this or she might loose her chances with Luke all together. Sookie opened the door and walked in. She looked down at Lorelai and recognized the green-eyed envious look on her face.
"Lorelai what is wrong with you?" Sookie asked while sitting down in the chair in front of her. She noticed the pants folded up on the desk in front of Lorelai and the strange look on her face. "Please tell me there isn't someone running here missing their pants." Sookie smirked.
Lorelai looked up and half smiled, "Headache. No these are Kirk's pants actually and no he is not running around pantless. So don't worry about that."
Sookie laughed, "Well thank goodness for that. Really though, you just seam like something is bothering you."
"Well, it's nothing really. I hate hemming pants!" Lorelai said not offering anything else.
"You mad at Kirk?" Sookie questioned.
"No, and I'm not really mad at Lulu either. I'm not really mad. Well maybe just a little mad at myself, but I have no control over this situation. Sookie, have you ever taken someone's friendship for granted? I mean the person is really special to you, but you never really took the time to let them know? I mean I've never thought of actually having a relationship with this person, but now that this potential relationship is in jeopardy because of someone else. I really don't want that other person to have it. I mean this other person hasn't showed up yet, but they are going to and I really don't know what to do." Lorelai sighed.
"Elaborate."
"Here is what happened, Lulu brought me Kirk's pants today to alter and she asked me about Luke. She said she had a friend that practically wants to get into his pants and I just don't think I can stand by and watch that happen."
Sookie nodded, "Well Lorelai, I don't think Luke would let another woman in his pants, especially since he has eyes for you. And I'm not just saying that. You can tell by the way he looks at you; by the way he acts around you. I mean heck, how many men would build a woman a hoopah? How many men would fix your house up for free? How many men would do whatever you wanted them to do no strings attached? He has done nothing but wait for you."
"Luke is a great friend. I don't want to risk that friendship especially if he doesn't want anything more, but I can't just sit by and watch that Beth woman throw herself at him. I have to get there first. Oh, I don't know what to do." Lorelai laid her head down on her desk.
"Look, I've said this once before and I will say it again. Just look the man in the eyes and you'll see it there." Sookie always had a way words.
Luke was sitting in his chair drinking a beer. He only resorted to beer during the day when nothing else was going right. He exhaled and sat back in his chair and closed his eyes. He honestly didn't even think he stood a chance with Lorelai. He had sat back and just watched her go to man after man, she had never came to him. He was always there for her and he would probably sit back this time and watch her go to Kirk's stupid cousin like always, but this time he was tired of it. He was going to have to tell her how he felt this time or just leave her alone.
Kirk sat thinking about plan B. This was the ultimate plan. He had to make it all about him. Yeah he could see it now, Free food for a year courtesy of Luke. Just the thought of the burger's was making his mouth water. Lulu caught sight of him drooling out of the corner of her eye.
"Kirk, are you ok?"
"Yes, babe. I'm just thinking about the free food that Luke will give me for this favor." Kirk smiled.
Lulu just shook her head. "You won't do at all Kirk. Maybe we should just let things go and see what happens next.
"No Lu. The timing of this is of utmost importance. It's like game of chess and I'm the winner. I have to come up with the next plan. Are you in with me or not?" Kirk patted his chest with his right hand and raised his left.
"I guess I'm in." Lulu answered. She enjoyed playing along in Kirk's games.
"Repeat after me." Kirks hand raised his chin held high. "We live together, we train together, we fight together, we stand for good together."
Lulu raised her hand laughing, "We live together, train together, fight together, we stand for good together."
"Now Lulu. Let's go to Luke's and watch our masterpiece unfold." Kirk bowed his head and put his arm around Lulu. They both marched out the door. Lulu was laughing to herself and Kirk humming The Star Wars theme along to the Orchestra that played it in his head.
