@ Emily: Ich weiß, aber ich denk mir: wenn dann so viele neue Teile da sind liest das doch keiner mehr

anyway, the show must go on:


On Saturday morning Luke woke up extra early leaving Lorelai still sleeping – she just rolled around, mumbled something in her sleep and cuddled up to a pillow - to go check if the banner was already up, the tables and the tents set up, if the band was practicing avidly etc.
His mom was already there, supervising the flower arrangements, smiling as she stepped up to him.
“Howdy there, son!”
“Oh geez mom, where did you pick that up??”
“I’m just kidding…. you should be used to teasing by now, considering the piece of work you got at home” she winked at him and hurried over to the flowers again to stop the workers from doing it wrong. He proudly looked around the square
‘This is gonna work!’

Lorelai woke up and sat up in bed groggily, looking around for Luke. When she didn’t spot him she went over to the fridge and pulled some milk out, not bothering to take a glass. She went over to the window, pushed the curtains aside and overlooked the town square.
‘Hey, I didn’t know there was a festival today!’ she gasped, wondering why Luke hadn’t told her.
Luckily, she couldn’t see the Gazebo, where a huge banner was put up, giving away the reason for this festivity. She turned around when Luke entered the apartment, carrying a muffin in the one hand and a coffee cup in the other one and she beamed at him
“Morning!”
“Morning Sunshine, what did you do to my sleepyhead slash girlfriend?” “Don’t mock, it’s too early” she eagerly took her breakfast out of his hands and wrapped the one with the muffin around his neck
“Kiss” she ordered and he obliged willingly .

When she finished picking up the crumbs from the table and drank the very last drop of coffee from her cup she got up from the table and walked over to Luke, sitting on his lap
“What do we do today, lover boy?”
“Well I was thinking that we could spend the morning here, being lazy, snuggling, making out, reading” Lorelai scoffed
“Reading, yeah right! Like we could do that, no be all over each other when left alone”
“Anyway” he continued “I thought you might wanna walk around the lake in the afternoon and then we’ll have dinner somewhere or I’ll cook something here. How does that sound?”
She considered for a moment “Hmmm let’s go to the lake now” she jumped up but Luke caught her round the waist and pulled her back down “Um, how about Not?” he desperately tried to find a reason for her to stay inside till noon. She frowned at him
“How about you tell me why you wanna stay inside on a day like this, huh?”
“Aaah, well, see….hem, yeah I dunno… I just wanna spend some time with you, alone and that right now!”
“Yeah right, but I’ll let it go now cause you’re so sweet.”
She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionately.
“Luke, I-“ Barbara walked into the room and Lorelai screamed, jumped off Luke like stung by a needle and almost tripped over the chair behind her if Luke hadn’t grasped her hand at the last moment.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to interrupt you, but Luke, everything’s fine!” “Thanks Mom!” Lorelai slowly turned from his departing mother to him “What’s fine Luke?” she asked suspiciously
“Nothing you should worry about, just some delivery”
‘Whew that was close!’ he hated lying to her face
“Could you have been more awkward when my mother showed up?” he teased her
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”
“Please, Lore, you jumped off me like you were on fire!”
“Did not” she said stubbornly
“You did too jump up”
“I did jump, I wasn’t awkward”
“Yes honey, you were, yes you were” he cooed, then stopped himself as Lorelai was smirking at him
“Oh gee, you’re already rubbing off!” Lorelai giggled, then hopped over to the bed and bounced on it.
She patted the spot next to her and Luke sat on the edge of the bed.

“Come over here” Lorelai laughed so Luke crawled over to her but her laughter turned into squeals when Luke started to tickle her mercilessly. “Oh-God- MERCY!” she screamed in between fits of laughter, she squirmed away from Luke, but he grabbed her and puller her back for more tickling until Lorelai was so exhausted she didn’t even put up a fight anymore, she just lay on her back, Luke hovering over her.
She reached up and ran a finger along his jawline, then up the side of his face as she traced his features. He leaned into her touch, closing his eyes. Lorelai cupped his face in her hands to pull him down for a kiss that quickly intensified when their tongues met, dueling fiercely.
When they broke apart, Luke looked into her usually bright blue eyes that were now dark and full of desire, but she kept shaking her head and he understood.
Even without words.

Around noon Luke literally had to peel his girlfriends from under the covers – where she had been hiding.
“Come ON Lore, let’s go!”
“Mhm don’ wanna” she mumbled sleepily.
“I have a surprise for you” he said in a sing-song-voice.
This got her attention, she threw the covers away and sat there, excited “A surprise? What is it?? What? Is it something nice?”
“I… think so” Luke answered vaguely
“But you’re never gonna find out unless you go shower and get dressed right now okay?”
“Sure, sure” she murmured and shuffled into the bathroom.
Emerging ten minutes later clad in one of her sexy jeans and a white blouse she quickly applied some makeup, then joined Luke at the door to walk down.

When they walked out the Diner, Luke took her hand and led her into the direction of the town square
“Hey, I know I’m the new girl in town, but that’s not the direction of the…” she trailed off when Luke signaled her to be quiet and she cocked her head in confusion.

They stepped onto the town square and she saw that the whole town had gathered to celebrate, eat, have fun…
When they entered the picture every head snapped to them, looking at Lorelai and breaking out into applause.
Luke wrapped his hands around her from behind and turned her head gently so she was looking at the gazebo. And she almost fainted.
