The Mind of the Matter
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I own nothing.if only I did.
Story time: Well. I'm pretty sure there are not spoilers so no one has to worry. But I guess it takes place when Rory and Dean were still together.
AN: I got this idea (the Hawaiian Luau and mind reading) from Angel Monroe. Thanx. I hope it turns out to be good, I still didn't know where I was going with it way until I got to the middle of Chapter 2. R/R please! Enjoy the story. :o) -FB-
"Madame Ginyvira - the mind reader of the new millennium! Coming tomorrow to Stars Hollow." Lorelei said in her best "carnival man's" voice
"You're kidding," Rory laughed.
"And Taylor's allowing this?"
"He's also having a luau - in the winter - so don't look at me."
"Don't even get me started on Taylor," Luke commented, through gritted teeth while refilling the Gilmore's coffee cups.
-He leaves the girls to refill other customers throughout the diner. -
"All I can think is," Rory started, "that he's trying to get tourists to come in."
"You mean whackos. What tourists would come here to have their mind read then participate in a Hawaiian Luau in December."
-Lorelei barely finished her sentence when copious amounts of men, women, and children enter the diner, obviously on vacation-
"Speak of the devil."
"Or whacko"
-Jess comes down the stairs and runs into the hoards of tourists-
"Whoa, looks like we found the Donner Party," Jess said startled at all the tourists.
"Or they found us" Rory retorted
"Well that can't be good, can it Rory?" He smirked at her then turned to Luke, "Hey I'm going out for a little. See you"
"Should I save my breath?" Luke asked Lorelei.
"Might as well."
"Why won't he ever tell me where he's going?"
"I've got a critical theory"
"Do I want to hear it?" Luke rolled his eyes.
"It's not a matter of do you want to hear it -."
Luke cut off Lorelei, "Yeah, it's a matter of do I have enough time to escape or not."
"And clearly that is a matter no more."
Luke sighed. "I'm going to be stuck in this conversation for the rest of my life, aren't I?"
"Yep," Rory laughed, "So I'm gonna go"
"You sure? You can help argue my theory" Lorelei said sweetly.
"Oh, I'm sure" Rory got up. "Bye Mom!"
"Bye 'hon!"
-Rory exited the diner just Lorelei was starting to arguing her "theory".
She started towards the bookstore as instinct then decides to go to the bridge instead. It was a place she could escape - from herself and a chance of seeing Dean. Things weren't going well in that department, she thought. Rory always felt she was forced to do things and like things he liked. He was so predictable too. He'd always call at seven o'clock each night then on Thursday would ask if she wanted to see a movie with him the next night, in which she would agree to do so. Then, after the movie, they would go to Al's Pancake World to eat because he didn't want to take the chance of him or Rory seeing Jess. So Luke's was clearly off-limits, even though he made the best food and coffee in - let's face it - Stars Hollow. She was bored. Had it always been like this?
-She arrived at the bridge. Some else was already there. -
"Hey"
"I'm sorry, Jess, do you want me to leave? I just came here to sit anyways."
"No, it's ok. All I'm doing is sitting. I'm glad you're here, now I have someone to sit with"
Jess stared at Rory and she blushed. She sat down.
"So have you heard about that mind-reader coming to Stars Hollow?"
"How could I not? Taylor's been going on and on about 'Madame Ginyvira - reader of the mind' for weeks."
"If not months."
It became silent again. Rory couldn't think of anything to say or ask. She felt her palms sweaty. Why was she always nervous around him? It wasn't a bad nervous, it was like one of those "Ooh, I'm so nervous about Christmas". You're not exactly nervous, but more like happy about of all the stuff you're going to get. Like a butterfly feeling in your stomach. (AN: Did any of that make sense? It was hard to word. Oh well, continue!)
"You going to luau?" Jess asked.
"Maybe, you?"
Jess laughed "Are you serious? C'mon, can you see me dressed up in Hawaiian garb? I thought you knew me better than that." He winked. Rory's butterflies got more intense.
"Oh come on." she said trying to hide her nervousness, "You don't have to dress up."
"But I'd look out of place if I didn't"
"Since when does Jess Mariano, defy-er of all things, care about fitting in at a Hawaiian Luau?" Rory smiled.
"I don't"
"Right" Her smile got bigger.
"Look, I'll go if you go." Jess said quickly trying to change the subject.
-Rory heaved a sigh.-
"Fine"
-Jess eyes flashed and then he grinned.-
"Ok"
"Well, I'm gonna go. Got to get some sleep because I have a full day tomorrow"
"Yeah?"
"Well I plan on getting my mind read by Madame Ginyvira before I go to the luau."
-Rory got up and Jess followed suit.-
"You're really getting your mind read?" Jess asked.
"You know me - I can never read my own mind."
-Only Rory knew that was the understatement of the year-
-Both left the bridge in opposite directions, smiling to themselves.-
End Chapter 1
AN: Ok, so whaddya think? Good enough? :o/ I'm really hesitant about this story, so any feedback would help more than you know. I'll get Chapter 2 up tonight or tomorrow (depends on if I've finished it or not, I'm debating whether to break it up) Thanx for reading the story! -FB-
