Chapter 1- That’s So Crazy, But It Just Might Work!
It was a Saturday night in February. Lorelai was sitting in front of the TV in her pajamas with a line of tapes on the floor with a big bowl of ice cream in her lap. The coffee table was full of bunch of crap from Doose’s Market.
“Mom, I’m leaving.” Rory called out from the foyer while putting on her coat.
“Have fun hun, at least one of us has a date tonight. Kirk’s right, I’m always going to be a spinster.”
“Don’t worry mom, you’ll get back out there. See you later.”
“See you, don’t do anything that I would do, but still have fun with Jess.”
“Ok, I’m leaving now,” Rory rushed out the door.
“Bye!” Well I guess I’m all alone now. Yup, just me, my food, and Bill (the TV).

Diner at the same time
“Going out?” Luke asked Jess when he came down to the diner putting on his jacket.
“Yeah with Rory,” Jess replied.
Luke was counting the receipts. The diner was pretty empty for a Saturday night, just Kirk, nothing unusual.
“Don’t be out late,” Luke told him.
“Ok. What are you going to do all night?” Jess asked.
“Nothing, I’ll close up, go up, and sleep. The same as I do every other night.”
“You’ve got to get yourself a girl.”
Just then Rory walked into the diner.
“Hey,” she greeted Jess with a kiss.
“Hey yourself,” she replied. “Should we go?”
“Yeah, let’s.”
They walked out of the diner. Jess automatically wrapped his arm around Rory.
“So, how was your day?” Rory asked.
“It’s great now that I’ve seen you. I worked at the diner most of the day. How about you?”
“My day was good. I didn’t do much. I read a little, did some homework, paper stuff, watched my mom lay around in her pajamas all day watching movies, eating ice cream, and complaining about how Kirk said she was a spinster and will always be alone and stuff. You know I’m worried about her. She doesn’t date anymore.”
“Luke’s the same way. He opens the diner, works at the diner, yells at me, continues to work, serves you and your mom coffee, yells at me some more, closes the diner, and goes to sleeps. He needs to get a life and a family.”
“And you need to stop annoying Luke so he doesn’t have to yell at you and smack you up side the head even though it is very enjoyable to watch.”
“I got an idea! How about we fix your mom and Luke up? They are perfect for each other. I know Luke is secretly in love with Lorelai.”
“You can say the same thing about Kirk. He asked mom out on a date, but of course she rejected him.”
“Poor guy. If she did say yes, Kirk would be your new daddy!”
“Ha-ha very funny. I do like your idea though.”
“What about Kirk being your new daddy? I was kidding,” Jess asked.
“No about setting Luke and Lorelai up. We just need a plan. There is no way either of them will ask each other.”
“I already know how. Come here,” Jess starts to whisper his idea into Rory’s ear.
“That’s so crazy, but it just might work!” Rory exclaimed.
“Ok tomorrow we’ll put our plan into action.”
“Will do. Come on we’ll miss the movie.” They walked inside of Andrew’s Bookstore.
