Present Day

Luke's Diner

Chris stared at her mug of hot chocolate, Luke notices the young girl, off in her own world and chuckles at her. "Christina, you alright?" Chris looked up at him and raised her eyebrows in confusion. Luke furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "You alright sweet pea?"

Christina smiled at the nickname, "Yeah," she sighed. "Just peachy." She put her head back down and took a sip of the chocolatey goodness.

"Common, Christy. You can tell me," Luke leaned down to her.

"It's just school is so hard, I have a history paper due next week about The Civil War! Luke, I don't know anything about the Civil War. Well, besides that Honest Abe had something to do with it. I'll just have to dropout and become a stripper or something." She said and banged her head on the bar in frustration.

Luke reached out and lifted her head, "Christina, you are one of the smartest people i know." He gave her an encouraging smile. She smiled sarcastically.

"Yeah, the first being Rory." She frowned.

Luke laughed and shook his head, "No, the first being your mother. For raising such beautiful, smart, and hilarious daughters." Chris smiled at him.

"Thanks, Lukey Pokey." Luke walked to serve a customer and Christina continued to drink her hot chocolate.

The bell over the door rang, and Christina saw her mom grab a cup and walk over to her and Luke. When Luke saw Lorelai, his smile was wide, but when she saw him, his smile shrunk to cover up his excitement. Chris saw the know thing and smiled into her cup.

"Hey, sweetie." Her mom said and kissed her head. Lorelai turned and faced Luke. "Please, Luke. Please, please, please." She pleaded.

"How many cups have you had this morning?" Luke looked at her with an annoyed expression. Since she last saw her mom, she had about 3 cups.

"None," her mother grinned widely. Luke gave her an annoyed expression.

Luke narrowed his eyes, "Plus.." Chris laughed and continued to sip her hot chocolate.

Lorelai sighed and looked at her mug, then at Luke. "Five, but yours is better." Christina walked behind the counter and grabbed a to-go cup. She pored the rest of her hot chocolate into the cup and grabbed a lid.

Luke stared at her, "Christina, you know you're not allowed behind the counter." He sighed, she smiled and handed her mom some coffee. "I'm a rebel." She walked over to her mom and hugged and kissed her bye. "Tell Rory I said I'll see her at the Inn later, I need to run a few errands to run. Bye, Mom. Bye, Lukey Pokey."

"Bye, Christina!" They yelled to her as she walked out the door. "You're a junkie." He said as she finished her coffee, pouring her a new one. "Also, you raised wonderful girls."

Lorelai smiled and looked at her coffee as she sat down at a table. "That I did."

Christina walked to the book store picking out a book for school, she walked over to the history books and scanned until she saw one about The Civil War. "Yes!" She said above a whisper, she heard from the front Kirk telling her to be quiet. She rolled her eyes and walked toward the front desk. On her way she smashed into someone very tall.
