I wish I owned Jess, though. Damn copyright laws!
Author's Note: Ok, I've just gotten a really weird idea, and I have to make it into a story, so tell me if you like it or not. Oh yeah, I've decided to write this instead of more of my other story, "Coffee and Water", so sorry! This doesn't start at any particular time, probably just after the last episode, but doesn't really go along with a lot of what's on the show. Ok, the last piece of my long, long, long ranting -- I felt so bad for Jess in Tuesday's episode. Everyone gave him way too hard a time. Anyone else agree? Ok, back to my story. Enjoy please!!
Chapter 1: Winning the Contest
Luke walked down to the diner, and served some nondescript customers some coffee and took Kirk's order. About five minutes later, Jess came down and grabbed the coffee pot that Luke had recently put down, and started serving out more coffee. Luke then noticed Lorelai and Rory listening intently to a small portable radio, and he went over to ask them what was going on.
"Hey you guys, what's with the-"
Lorelai cut Luke off, saying in a hushed tone, "Shh, we're trying to win a radio contest!"
Luke sat down across from them and said in a quiet tone as well, "Well, how does being quiet help you win?"
Lorelai sighed dramatically, and said, "You have to hear when to call in, Mr. Coffee Supplier. If you didn't make such great coffee, I'd wonder about your sanity."
Jess noticed the three of them huddled together around a radio, so he went over and said, "Hey, what's going on?"
Lorelai quickly quieted him, and pulled him down into the seat next to her. "We're trying to win a radio contest."
"What do you win?" Jess asked.
"You know that mansion they've been building just outside of Star's Hollow?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah," Luke replied.
"Well, if we win this contest, then we get the house. Like for free. And it's huge!" Lorelai squealed.
Rory interrupted her mom, saying, "Mom, chill. Luke's right. You are going to have a heart attack before you're 40."
"Wait, wait, shhh!" Lorelai said, and they all did.
The annoying radio announcer's voice came on the radio, and said in an annoyingly smooth tone, "Hi, this is 105.7. It is now time for our big contest to give away the mansion on 1574 Rudker's Lane. Be caller 10 and you get the chance to win."
"Oh, oh!" Lorelai squealed, and she jumped up from her table. Within seconds she had dialed the number for the radio station using the phone behind the counter.
"Hey, that's for business purposes only!" Luke told her, as the others got up and stood next to Lorelai, yet still listening to the radio.
"Shhh, it's ringing!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Hello, this is 105.7. May we ask who our caller number 10 is?" The annoying man said.
"Us? You mean us?" Lorelai said quickly.
"Yes, you."
"Uhh, this is Lorelai Gilmore."
"Anyone else there helping you?" He asked.
"Yes, my daughter Rory, Luke Danes, and Jess Marino."
"Ok, you have 30 seconds to answer these 3 questions."
"Ok, ok, we're ready!" Lorelai said, sounding like she had had a lot of caffeine, which she had obviously.
"Here's your first question. Who are Willy Wonka's helpers in the film and novel, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?"
"Oh, I know this! Ompa Lompas!"
"Yes that is correct!"
"Yeah!" Lorelai said, jumping up and down.
"Ok, you've got 22 seconds left on the clock. Next question, what was Earnest Hemingway's first bestseller?"
Lorelai, stumped this time, turned to Jess and Rory, and said, "Jess, Rory, if you two don't know this I will kill you both!"
"The Sun Also Rises!" The two said simultaneously.
Lorelai repeated into the phone, "The Sun Also Rises!"
"Correct! You've now got 15 seconds left on the clock!"
"Last question! What is it?"
"What is the major cash crop in South Africa?"
Lorelai glanced at the three, and mouthed, "What's the answer?"
Rory shouted, "Mom! How could you, of all people, not know that?"
"Lorelai, it's coffee beans." Luke said in a slow and deliberate voice.
"Coffee beans! Coffee beans!" Lorelai shouted into the phone.
"Yes, that is correct. You and your three friends have won a mansion!"
"Whoa, wait, all four of us won that house? Are you joking?" Jess said in a disbelieving tone.
"Shh, I have to stay on the line to get further information." Lorelai told them all.
"Wow, you're getting good at repeating today, aren't you Lorelai?" Luke said in a sarcastic tone.
"So we'll all four live in one house?" Rory asked.
"Yup, that's what it sounds like," Lorelai said.
"Wow, a mansion is sure a step up from the apartment above here," Luke said.
"You can't be serious. You mean you're actually going to make us do this? All four of us live in one house?" Jess demanded.
"Come on Jess, there'll be plenty of room. It's a mansion! You can probably have your own wing and stay away from all of society for like a week and no one will be able to find you!" Lorelai said excitedly.
"As appealing as this sounds, are you sure that this will work?" Jess said sarcastically.
Lorelai hung up the phone, and said, "We're all four supposed to go meet the realtor in about two hours. Can you all make it? If you can't, I'll make you come anyway."
"Fine," Jess mumbled. Rory and Luke nodded as well.
"Good. See you in two hours, then."
