LUKE: Rachel.
LORELAI: Rachel? Your Rachel? You're Rachel?

LUKE: You getting some good stuff?
RACHEL: Oh yeah, yeah, the firelight really changes people. Ya know, makes them seem happier, freer, all troubles of the world completely gone.
LUKE: I don't think that's the firelight. I think it's the Founders Day party punch they've been selling.
RACHEL: Oh yeah, that stuff is good
LUKE: Okay, at some point, are you gonna tell me what you're doing here?
RACHEL: I'm putting more film in my camera.
LUKE: Rachel.
RACHEL: What? I told you, I was at the airport, now I'm here.
LUKE: Oh well sure, when you put it like that.
RACHEL: Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't sound all that happy to see me.
LUKE: Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have a tendency to show up and then leave, quite suddenly. One of your more charming attributes.
RACHEL: So you're not happy to see me? Luke, I don't know what I'm doing here. I just missed you. I wanted to see you. I don't know what else to say.
LUKE: I missed you too.

LUKE: Okay. Now that's crazy.
RACHEL: Yeah?
LUKE: Yeah.
RACHEL: No.
LUKE: You feel you need a different excuse this time to mix things up a little, fine. But you are not leaving because of me.
RACHEL: I'm sure you tried Luke. But admit it, you're heart wasn't in it.
LUKE: My heart was in it. I was here, I didn't leave. . . .I don't get this.

Thread #2

[Playing The Angel]

I found our old intro, but some of the new members may not be on it. So once it is up, we will see about adding you back.

[Undeniable]

Can you add me then Sam? I'm one of the newer ones so I'm probably not on it.

[potostfbeyeluvr]

Please add me too. Love Luke/Rachel.

[ravenb]

Yay for Luke and Rachel appreciation. Such good friends.

[potostfbeyeluvr]

So are we appreciating their romance, or their friendship?

[Lor-baby]

Both.
There are two lists and you can be added to the one you prefer

By the way thank you Sam for rebuilding the intro
Great job!

[Undeniable]

Thanks Sam.

Aww, how I miss Rachel. I wish she could come back for one episode.

[Playing The Angel]

No problem, everyone.

You were on the copy I had Camilla, but if anyone else needs to be added, you will have to PM a mod, since I can't edit the first post.

[potostfbeyeluvr]

I'd like to be added to the 'romance' list please.

Me too, even a phone call would be great. She said stay in touch to Luke so it would be nice to find out that they had been after all these years.

[Undeniable]

I agree. Like a behind the scenes sort of friendship at least.

[ravenb]

Hee behind the scenes, yeah that would be great! Even more so now, after the final a phone call to/from Rachel would be so awesome.

I miss Rachel so much now, i'm sure Luke could use a friend to lean on.

[Undeniable]

I agree. I would love to see a sort scene with them, as a phone call or something 'cause that's all I can imagine happening atm.

[potostfbeyeluvr]

I'd love that so much. Rachel deserved more of a backstory than she got. I'd love to hear if she knew Anna, or if she came before or after her.
