A/N I always thought Shane got a raw deal so here is a slightly altered version of the break up at the dance marathon.

THE BREAKUP

Dean was seething inside. Why was that jerk Jess even here? But he knew why he was here; to aggravate him. Jess's girlfriend Shane was leaning back with her ankles crossed looking bored out of her mind. He was here to support, his girlfriend, Rory Gilmore.

"Dean, Dean." He looked up and Lorelai was calling for him. She beckoned him over. "Dean I have broken my heel, you need to take my place or we will be disqualified."

Dean took Rory in his arms. The comfortable feeling of old was not there. Once all he could think about was having Rory in his arms. She felt strange. He never thought in his wildest dreams would holding Rory in his arms feel wrong. But it felt wrong. Very wrong.

Rory could have conversed about anything under the sun, but no, she had to start talking about Jess.

"Dean I can't stand Jess. Why is he here?" Why is he with that blonde floozy? Jess is a Jerk. Then Rory called out to Jess. "I am so sick of seeing you sitting there."

Jess Jess Jess that was all she could talk about. Dean had an epiphany. This was bullshit. He reached around and took Rory's arm off his waist. "Rory, I am done."

Dean then looked over to Jess and started walking toward him. Jess looked around as to see if there was anyone to intercede. Dean wasn't going to catch him sitting. So he rose and walked to meet Dean.

To Jess's great surprise; Dean walked right past him. He turned to see where Dean was going. Dean stopped in front of Shane.

"Shane I have a question for you."

"Hey you can't talk to my girlfriend."

Ignoring Jess Dean continued on. "Shane would you like to come with me and let's find some breakfast?" Dean then extended his arm.

Shane looked at her boyfriend; then back at Dean. "I'd love to." She then took his extended hand and stood up.

"Just where in the hell do you think you're going with my girlfriend?

"Oh yeah Jess, I forgot. I'm breaking up with you."

"What do you mean Shane? Breaking up with me why?"

Shane looked thoughtful then loudly replied. "You suck at kissing"

Dean and Shane walked hand in hand. They stopped in front of Jess. Dean patted Jess on the head and pointed to Rory. She is all yours buddy boy. Have a great life."

Jess watched Shane and Dean. walk away. Her arm linked with his arm. Then he turned to Rory who stood forlornly at the center of the gymnasium. He never expected this. Did he really like Rory or did he just pursue her to aggravate Dean who he intensely disliked. She was his now.

Jess walked over to Rory. "That was weird."

"I got dumped Jess. I never thought Dean would humiliate me like this."

"Yeah, he did a pretty rotten thing. Just shows how low class he is."

She now had Jess. But the nagging doubts started in. "He's not low class Jess." She said softly.

The nagging doubts also coursed through Jess's mind. He now had her. He was scared. Jess realized that he did not have a clue in hell as what to do with her.

Six blocks away Shane and Dean were sitting in a booth of an all night diner; sipping coffee, awaiting their order of blueberry pancakes. Dean knew from school that despite Shane's gum chewing flippant personality; that she was a bright lively girl. "You know Shane you saved me from looking like an ass when you took my hand." Dean laughed. "I would have looked real stupid standing there."

"To tell you the truth Dean, I was pretty fed up with Jess's crap. I was getting ready to dump him. I had no idea what you wanted when you walked over; so when you asked me to breakfast; I thought to myself. What a dramatic way to end a relationship. Thank you Dean."

Their pancakes arrived and the young couple ate in silence. Dean finished his pancakes and waited for Shane to finish hers before he spoke. "Shane would you like to go to a movie with me tonight?"

Shane looked up at Dean and smiled. "I'd love to."

A/N This is intended to be a one shot story, but if people are interested I could continue this after I finish my other GG story.
