They both watched as Luke took off after Kirk. Once the chaos faded into the distance they decided to approach Lorelai on the porch. Lorelai quickly took notice of the couple approaching her.
"Rory…it's about time. You're not going to believe everything that happened while you were gone." Lorelai said while at the same time acknowledging Dean with a smile, not sure of how else to react.
"I think I will actually, considering everything I just saw with my own eyes. And sorry it took me so long to get back…I ran into Dean on the way home." Rory said pointing behind her.
"Yes I see that. Even standing behind you, he's still visible. I think it might be that tall thing you got going on." Lorelai joked. "How are you Dean?"
"Pretty good."
"Really…cause you look very tired."
"Yeah well you got me there I am tired but other then that I can't complain."
"Dean do you mind if I talk to mom for a second alone? I'll meet you inside."
"Sure no problem." Dean said going inside happy to be getting away from the awkwardness.
"So I saw you and Luke…." Rory said hinting for more details.
"So….I saw you and Dean. What is your point?"
"Don't even try to turn this around. What's going on? I want details."
"I guess Luke and I are dating now. It was weird, all of a sudden Luke is just angry at the fact that I hadn't acknowledged any of the stuff he has been doing lately, next thing I know we are in the doorway kissing and naked Kirk is on the run."
"Well this is exciting right? You and Luke I mean of course, not naked Kirk."
"Yeah I guess so. This is all just happening so fast." Lorelai looked down for a second and smiled. "But what about you…what's going on? You show up here at eleven o'clock at night with Dean and expect me not to ask questions?"
Rory guiltily smiled. "I know how it looks but we are just talking right now."
"But do you really think it's a good idea to bring Dean here to talk? I mean the entire town is practically sleeping upstairs, including the biggest mouth of them all."
"I know it's just we have a lot to talk about and I had to come back or you would have been worried and Dean came back out tonight just to see me. Besides Miss Patty already knows and so does Lindsay."
"So let me make sure I'm getting all of this straight…he told his wife that the two of you were going to start dating?"
"Yeah, I mean it's really not that big of a deal when you think of the situation. It's been over between the two of them for a while now."
"Just talking huh?" Lorelai asked watching closely at Rory's expression.
"Yeah we're just talking…"
"There's something about your tone right now that isn't very convincing but I'm just going to have to trust you because Luke is coming back this way fast with naked Kirk."
Rory turned to see what her mother was talking about and quickly turned back around at the sight of it.
"Oh wow, just when you think you can't think any lower of Kirk."
"Alright I'm going to help Luke. You and Dean can talk in the honeymoon suite, at least this way no one will bother you. But let's not think of it as the honeymoon suite; let's call it your grandparent's room. That way you'll think twice before doing anything dirty there." She said handing her the key.
"But what happened to Grandma and Grandpa?"
"My plan backfired. They now openly hate each other as well as me."
Luke walked passed them both carrying Kirk and quickly placed him onto the couch where Dean had previously been sitting until he saw them coming.
"What happened to him?" Dean asked disgusted.
"Thorn bush…he jumped right into the damn thing when he saw me coming after him." Luke explained.
"What on earth is going on down here?" Sookie asked descending the stairs.
Lorelai rushed to Sookie's side to explain the situation while Rory motioned with her head for Dean to follow her outside.
"Can you believe all of this?" Dean asked once they were outside.
"Yes, all of this I believe, the part I don't believe is my mom telling me we can use the honeymoon suite to talk." Rory announced holding up the key to the room.
"Well we do have a lot of catching up to do." Dean said with a smile.
Rory grabbed Dean's hand and led him to the entrance of the room. Not that it was necessary , he knew his way around the property quite well having worked there the past few months but he wasn't about to complain about it. Rory unlocked the door with her free hand and pushed it open. They both took in the surroundings of the dimly lit room as they walked inside.
"I guess my grandparents are coming back for their luggage tomorrow." She said noticing the suitcases neatly packed in the corner of the room.
"Why did they leave anyway?"
"It's sort of a long story. And I have something way more interesting to talk to you about." Rory explained pulling him closer to her.
"Well I can't wait to hear what you have to say." He said with a smirk that continued even after their lips met.
Meanwhile back at Dean and Lindsay's apartment.
"I don't think he is coming home tonight." Lindsay told her friend as she stared out the window.
"Have you talked to him?"
"Of course I've talked to him; he doesn't want to hear anything I have to say anymore."
"I mean have you told him that you really love him?"
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"How can I tell him that after what he said today about her?" Lindsay said choking on the word. "I don't know why I ever mentioned getting a divorce in the first place. It just seemed like the right thing at the time but I wasn't thinking. We were fighting and we had been fighting for so long, I just didn't want to do it anymore. I never thought that he would have agreed to the idea."
"You should go to him and tell him how you feel. Maybe he is hiding his feelings just like you were hiding yours."
"I can't he is at the test run for the inn. I wasn't exactly invited."
"Who cares…go anyway. Don't just give up, if you still want him you're going to have to fight for him before it's too late."
