Chapter 10: Orange vs Blue

October 19th 7am

It was another ordinary day at Stars Hollow, Luke was in his usual routine, working at his diner serving his greatest coffee and pancakes to his usual 7am customers. He completely forgot about the need to wake his nephew up after a glimpse of his watch. He rushed up the stairs and entered the room.

The three alarm clocks that were on the night stand next to Jess's bed were ringing like an ambulance on its way to a potential patient.

Luke quickly stopped all three clocks before he took a deep breathe and looked at his nephew. Jess was still sleeping peacefully, nothing could have prevent him from his beauty sleep.

Luke shook Jess on the shoulder while rolling up the curtains.

' It's past 7! You're gonna be late for school and you'll miss your breakfast chat with Rory and then you're gonna blame me for not waking you up on time.' Luke ranted. Jess slowly stretches his arms and gave Luke a yawn before getting out of bed and into the washroom. Luke watched his nephew slowly walking towards the bathroom like a mini zombie. Luke can't help but chuckled at his nephew's wake up hair, 'What?' Jess turned his head and glared at his uncle, knowing exactly what his uncle was laughing about. Luke instantly turned back to his normal face, 'nothing.' Luke scratches his chin, 'I just think it's time for you to get a haircut.'

'No I'm not getting a haircut!' Jess protested while opening the closet and picked out his clothes before heading to the washroom.'Oh yes you are.' Luke assured with a nod, the hair is long and too bushy, Jess looked like he came out of the jungle. 'I'd rather wear a baseball cap backwards like you.' Jess said while randomly pulling a baseball cap of Luke's and wore it to prove his point. 'So what, you're just gonna grow your hair until you look like Tarzan?' Luke challenged. Jess rolled his eyes, 'yea.. whatever.' While taking off the cap and was about to put it back in the drawer until he noticed something.

Luke crossed his arms on his chest and sighed, 'what did I tell you about rolling your eyes.'

Jess completely ignored his uncle's pre-lecture, and glued his eyes to that baseball cap, ' You're a RED SOX FAN?!'

'Yea,' Luke said it with a 'so what?' face, 'but don't change the topic here MR., I told you a billion times it's not okay to roll your eyes!'

Jess turned his face to his uncle, he had a look like the world has just collapsed on him. 'You're a RED SOX FAN? And You're 100% sure?!'

'I'm not like a big fan or anything, I just.. you know, like red sox, it's one of the teams that I kinda watch for.' Luke explained, still did't understand what Jess was trying to say.

Jess held the cap and walked to Luke's bed and slowly sat down, he paused, 'why didn't you tell me earlier?' he asked with his innocent eye looking at Luke.

Luke looked at Jess puzzled, 'what?'

'you know I'm a yankees fan. I can't live with sox fan!'

'It's not that big of a deal, Jess!' Luke sighed while raising his hands up.

'It is. It is.' Jess protested while walking towards the washroom, 'I'm disappointed.'

'Oh Lucasssssssssss!' Lorelai sang to call Luke.

Luke walked to Lorelai and Rory and gave them his grumpy face, 'Table by the window. And stop calling me Lucas like you're going to an audition for the sound of music, will ya?

The mother and daughter sat at the table near the window and ordered their usual while Jess finally came down, he was wearing his yankees cap.

'Jess what do you want?' Luke asked while handing a cup of coffee and a cup of apple juice.

Jess ignored his uncle and walked up to the kitchen and shouted to Caesar in case his uncle didn't hear it, ' Caesar, can you please make me some pancakes and tell Luke that I want some orange juice as well? Thank you!'

Luke sighed, and Lorelai asked, ' what's going on? I feel like I'm in the middle of the cold war. Just to declare, I'm Switzerland, not that it was involved in the cold war but you know…' Luke cut Lorelai off, ' Jess found out I have a red sox cap and he is disappointed apparently.'

' I can't imagine you in a red sox cap.' Lorelai exclaimed. ' I've always feel like you're the guy who doesn't like any team because all of them are over-rated or something..but in all seriousness, why didn't you tell Jess that you're a red sox fan when you realize he's a Yankees fan?'

'Ah jee, not you too! I just own a red sox cap it doesn't mean I'm a die hard fan or anything!' Luke protested.

Jess walked back and sat at the same table while putting his drink and plate down. 'Hi Rory, hi lorelai!'

'nice hat!' Lorelai smiled.

'Thanks.' Jess replied while cutting up his pancakes.

Luke sighed at his nephew, who was completely ignoring him because of a stupid hat. He went back to serving his customers while the three were laughing and chatting.

'Jess what are you going to be for halloween?' asked Rory excitingly. Jess shrugged his shoulder, 'I don't know.'

'I can make you a costume, Jess!' Lorelai exclaimed, ' I made all Rory's costumes and it's all pretty and stylish and..'

Jess shook his head in horror, 'no no no! You would make me something horrible and pink and make me wear it, I know your evil plan Lorelai!'

Lorelai gave him a 'how dare you' look, 'oh mister, you have no idea how good I am at this, just tell me what do you want to be for halloween and I'll make it until you're satisfy with the outcome!'

Rory added, 'yea! Just tell mom what you wanna be, she really does make awesome costumes!'

Jess sighed he knows he can never say no to a Gilmore girl, and replied, 'fine..'

'What are you guys talking about?' asked Luke who put a plate of pancakes in front of Jess.

'Oh! Oh! Oh! I know! Luke you can be Han Solo and Jess will be Chewbecca!' Lorelai chipped in.

Jess opened his eyes wide and complained, 'Hey! I wanna be Han Solo!'

'I am not going to be anything or anyone for any reason you three are putting out, period.' Luke exclaimed while raising both his hands up.

'Come on Luke! It's halloween!' Lorelai whined, 'I'll even make you a costume for free!' Luke rolled his eyes, 'I don't need a costume.'

'It will be fun Luke! Join us, it will be fun!' Rory added.

'Just for the record, I'm not going to be chewbecca for halloween, whatsoever, I can be James Bond, Jesse James, Indiana Jones and uh, seriously, anything but a hairy brown costume! And I don't want Uncle Luke to go.'

'Jess, are you seriously mad at me for owning a red sox cap?' Luke grabbed a chair and sat next to his nephew looking into his eyes.

'If you went up to a random person anywhere, let's say North Dakota! and ask them to name three great baseball players, they'd probably say, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio! See! No Red Sox there! 1918 Uncle Luke!' Jess snapped back.

'Jess I've never said I don't like the Yankees and that I love the Sox that much! If it bothers you so much, I'll throw it away but you have to promise me not to do that Uncle Luke is transparent act, okay? no more of that.' Luke lectured.

Jess stared at his plate and softly replied after a short pause, 'I just don't want us to be enemies.'

Lorelai gave a 'aw' look to Luke secretly without Jess and Rory noticing, Luke replied her with a small smile. 'I will not let that happen Jess.' Luke whispered back to his nephew.

'I've got an idea! How bout Luke will be Indiana Jones and Jess you can be short round!' Rory suggested, trying to change topic. 'Okay fine.' Jess replied while looking at his Uncle to see he's reaction. Luke nodded, and gave a little smirk to his nephew, 'okay, fine.'

'So 24th it is!' Lorelai said while taking her cup of coffee and was about to leave the diner. 'What 24th?' Jess and Luke both asked at the same time.

'Costume shopping, obviously they won't just magically be there if we don't go look for it or make it.' Lorelai rolled her eyes at the boys.

'How bout 25th?' Luke suggested,

'uh no. We have a girls date with Sookie on the 25th.'

'How bout the 23rd?' Jess suggested,

'Uh no. I got work at the Inn. What is going on, on the 24th that you two boys just can't come and look for costumes with us girls? Is it because the fact that we have to go to a 'M-A-L-L', you guys are just too manly to be going to a 'M-A-L-L'? Lorelai challenged.

'That would be one of the reasons, yup. But not the main reason.' Luke assured. Jess added, 'how could you guys not know? It's the world series finals on the 24th!'

'Oh!' Lorelai expressed, 'well we can still go to the mall on the 24th, it's not like the game will last for 24 hours, I'm sure you guys will have 2 or 3 hours to go shopping with us. Alright I'll meet you guys at The mall in Hartford on 24th afternoon!'

'No! Lorelai! We really can't!' Jess pleaded,

'Yea! There's pregame show, review of the play, interviews. We can't miss those!' Luke explained, suddenly sounding like a little child who was not allowed to watch his favourite cartoon.

'Mall, 24th, done deal! Bye-bye!' Lorelai waved and left with Rory.

Jess sighed and looked at Luke, 'sigh..so much for being the man here...' Luke adjusted his cap and putting back the coffee pot, 'touche.'

Oct 23rd 5pm

Jess was sitting at a table with Johnny and Sean at Luke's diner, waiting for their ice cream sundae after an hour or two of baseball.

'The Bravos is gonna win, I know that, Sean knows that and you know that but you just don't want it to happen.' Johnny stated while high-fiving Sean.

Sean added, 'whether you like it or not, blue jays is not gonna win. How many times has the blue jays won the world series? None!'

'The last time the braves won was ancient time! Get over it guys!' Jess smirked. Johnny sighed, 'Look, they are playing in Atlanta tomorrow, it's a home game! They are gonna win!'

'Not a fat chance.' Luke placing three bowls of ice cream sundae on the table,

'No cones Uncle Luke?' Jess asked surprised that Luke is putting the ice cream in a bowl.

'We're out of cones. But anyway, blue jays gonna win tomorrow Johnny Boy.' Luke smirked.

Jess smirked when he heard that Luke is on the same side as his, 'yea Johnny Boy!' Jess mocked his friend.

Johnny shook his head in disbelief, ' Y'all traitors! Rooting for a Canadian team!'

Jess and Luke laughed at that comment, Luke added, ' It's not about which country, kid, it's about which team is actually better, EH!' Luke holding out his fist and Jess fist pumped his Uncle for that comeback line.

'If the Braves win, you guys owe me a year supply of ice cream sundae!' Johnny challenged. Luke nodded, 'sure! and if the Braves lose?'

Jess added, 'then you'll have to wear a blue jays full on uniform for Halloween!'

'Deal!' Johnny slammed Jess's hand and walked out of the diner.

Oct 24th 8am

'Come on Lorelai! Can we just do it another day, I mean halloween is on the 31st! There's still time! But this game IS today! Order whatever you want, it's on the house!' Luke pleaded.

'I like this pleading Luke side, alright, alright, how does 27th sounds?' Lorelai asked while sipping her cup of coffee.

'Sounds excellent!' Jess exclaimed. 'Now Uncle Luke we just need to hurry and fix the damn TV!'

'Hey! Watch your language Jess.' Luke warned, 'and yea, I'll fix it right after don't worry.'

'What happened to the TV?' Rory asked. 'The sound went off.' Jess replied. 'Well how bout you guys come watch at our place?' Lorelai suggested casually.

'No, it's really fine, Lorelai. I will fix it and it will be fine.' Luke said adjusting his cap.

'No, it's really okay Luke, I mean I have a bigger TV than you guys, and it has SOUNDS and we will be starved to death by then while you both are upstairs watching the game, we come in here for some Luke's burger and we won't get any because Caesar's cooking and again, we will then be starving to death cause we only want Luke's burger and.. and'

'Okay, okay, I gotcha, we'll come over and bring burgers and stuff and watch the game at your place.' Luke sighed.

'Sweet! Let's go Braves!' Lorelai shouted.

Jess and Luke both shouted back, 'WHAT!'

'What? Can't I have my own opinion on which team I like?' Lorelai challenged while giving Luke a smirk.

'Now you guys will have to supply us with a year of ice cream sundae AND coffee if the Braves win!' Rory added.

'Not you too!' Jess sighed frustratedly while smacking his hand on his forehead.

Oct 24th Late afternoon

'Why is there no timer on this game?' Rory asked while munching on her burger. She was getting really bored watching a game that she really don't understand.

Luke replied, 'yea baseball doesn't really have a timer like soccer or hockey.' 'Can this game be anymore boring? We're on the 9th inning and there's only 2 points for each team?! Can we please watch basketball?' Lorelai pouted at Luke as if she was a little child. Luke's eyes were glued on to the TV, 'uh no, we're almost done here Lorelai! Hang on!' 'Yea Doll shut up and listen to Doctor Jones!' Jess teased and stuck his tongue out at Lorelai. Luke glared and grabbed Jess's right arm and gave him a hard smack on his jean bottom,

'Ow!'

'if I ever hear you talking like that to anybody, you are getting a spanking, do I make myself clear? Luke warned and looked at his nephew sternly in the eyes.

Jess pouted a little, 'but Uncle Luke it was a line from Indiana Jones!' 'I don't recall having the word 'shut up' in that line or do we need to watch that movie after the game and discuss about it?' Luke said sternly. 'Luke, it's okay, it's just a joke.' Lorelai added, wanting to reduce the tense atmosphere here. 'Lorelai stay out of this.' Luke replied still in his stern voice. He knew Jess didn't mean to say that on purpose, but he was not about to raise a kid who is disrespectful and has no manners.

'No we don't' Jess replied quietly looking at the floor, Luke has never really laid a hand on him, not even in the 'speedy' incident, he just didn't understand why is his uncle this strict this time.

'That's what I thought. Now you either watch this game in an appropriate manner or you can sit in the kitchen and wait for the game to end.' Luke replied and his attention went back to the TV when Jess sat back down next to him on the couch. Lorelai gave a little 'it's okay' smile and softly patted Jess's shoulder.

'are you serious?! It's going to an 11th inning?! I am never watching another baseball game again!' Lorelai exclaimed while getting off the couch and into the kitchen to make some more popcorns.

'watch it! WATCH IT! Run! Run! Come one baby, run!' Luke and Jess jumped out of their seats and moving closer and closer to the TV,

'HOMERUNN! Told ya! Uncle Luke did you see that! Did you see that!' Jess excitedly asked while tugging Luke's red plaid shirt sleeves.

Luke nodded and gave Jess a big high-five on their victory, the uncle and nephew cheered and shouted while the gilmore girls were just sitting there eating popcorns, thanking god that the game is over.

'Now can we watch charlie and the chocolate factory?' Rory asked. The other three agreed and sat down for another round of television time.

'Sorry.' Jess blurted out of the blue while the movie just started. He looked at Luke in the eyes with a little guilt and shyness. After all his uncle gave him a smack in front of his best friend and her mother. Luke gave him a half smile, smooth his back, 'it's okay, I know you didn't mean it that way, but you gotta start thinking before you say something like that alright?' Jess nodded, he climbed up to his uncle's lap and rest his head on his chest, no words were spoken between the two, their mutual understanding and bond were very strong. Lorelai had the biggest grin on her face looking at the sweet side of Luke and the adorable Jess.

Oct 24 11:30pm

The credit roll and ending song were up on the TV screen. Rory fell asleep snuggling her mother while Jess fell asleep at the same position on Luke's, clenching on to his uncle's plaid shirt.

'Okay, I guess we have to go.' Luke whispered to Lorelai, 'thank you for everything tonight.' He gave her his signature sweet half smile. He took a deep breathe nervously before he put his left hand over her right hand.

Lorelai gave Luke a nervous smile and took a deep breathe before she whispered back and gave him a short kiss on his lips, 'stay.'

Luke adjusted the position of Jess, so that the boy won't fall while he was trying to lean closer to Lorelai. He smiled and gave her a longer kiss, 'okay.'
