"Everything's delicious, Luke." Matthew said.

"Thanks." Luke said.

"So…" Lorelai said, and Rory knew that's where the interrogation would begin. "where are you from."

"I'm from upstate New York. It's a very small town, Oneonta. It's outside of Cooperstown, you know the baseball hall of fame." Matthew replied.

"You said you have siblings?" Lorelai questioned.

"Yes, an 8 year old brother, and a 12 and 16 year old sister." Matthew said.

Lorelai was about to open her mouth again, but Rory beat her to it. "I think that's enough of an interrogation for tonight. So Corey, Jackie, how's school?"

"I like kindergarten. I met a new friend named Sammy he's the fastest kid in the class!" Corey answered.

Jackie smiled, "School's fun. How is big kid school?"

"Oh Yale, it's great. I have some really good classes this semester." Rory said.

"Excuse me, where's the bathroom?" Matthew said. He didn't really have to go but he had a feeling Rory wanted to see what Lorelai thought of him. Lorelai pointed towards the bathroom. "Thanks." He said and got up to go.

"So mom, what do you think…" Rory asked nervously.

" Well, I thought Dean would be a hard act to beat, but Matthew, honey, he seems like a wonderful guy." Lorelai said.

"He's cool." Corey said.

"Yeah." Jackie said.

"Thanks, guys." Rory said with a laugh.

"Anyone want dessert? I baked a cake this afternoon." Lorelai said. Corey and Jackie giggled.

Rory whispered something to Matthew and replied, "No thanks, mom. Ummm, we better get going."

"Fine, I bought the cake, ok." Lorelai said.

"Then, bring on the cake." Rory said. Lorelai served the cake. Rory and Matthew had a slice. "We better get going. We're going to try and catch a movie, before we go back to Yale."

"Alright, Hun, come back soon." Lorelai said.

"Thanks for dinner." Matthew said.

"Anytime." Luke replied. "Come on guys. It's already 9:15. You better go get ready for bed. We'll be up in a minute, if you guys need any help." Luke said. "So Lor, what do you really think of the guy?"

"I do think what I said. He was very polite, but I think he wasn't being himself. I want to know who he really is, you know like funny, charming or sarcastic, like you!." Lorelai said to Luke.

"Yeah, but he was probably nervous. We'll get to know him better, I have a feeling he'll be around for a while." Luke said. They tucked the kids into bed and watched TV a while before falling asleep, themselves.
