People Change
By: Apolla
Author's Note:
All right, let me explain so that this doesn't confuse anyone. This story is called People Change.
People Change takes place in the third season. This story takes place a month after episode 3.10 - That'll Do, Pig. That'll Do, Pig is the last episode that has happened; after that, it's all me. None of the episodes 3.11 through 3.22 will ever occur in this story, although I may take some ideas from them; i.e., Sookie getting pregnant or Fran dying so the Dragonfly becomes available.
In case you have forgotten, here are the main things that happened in That'll Do, Pig:
Lorelai lets Lane's band practice in her garage.
Paris spends more time with Jamie (remember, Jamie told Paris that he loved her!)
Rory wants Jess to go to the Winter Carnival with her but he says no. Jess says he doesn't have to go stupid things anymore because he's not trying to get her anymore – he has her.
Dean and Rory go and get a cup of coffee together and agree to be friends.
Trix, Richard's mother, comes back to town with the news that she's moving from England and will be living in Hartford. Emily's not pleased, as she and Trix don't get along. Lorelai teaches Emily how to annoy Trix and find it amusing at the same time.
Jess and Rory run into Dean and his little sister Clara. Clara invites Rory to come to the carnival with her and Dean, and then Jess suddenly decides that he'll go to the carnival after all (hmmm, LoL, why the sudden change of mind, do you think?).
Jess asks Rory why she didn't tell him that she and Dean were so buddy-buddy again, but insists he's fine with it.
Jess and Dean have a little talk. Jess tells Dean he knows what he's doing and that it's pathetic, but Dean tells Jess that when Jess and Rory were just friends, look how it turned out for them. Maybe it'll work out for him, too.
And now, the last lines of That'll Do, Pig:
LORELAI: How'd it finally end with Cheech and Chong?
RORY: Jess knows I'm friends with Dean, Dean knows I'm dating Jess, and they both seem fine with it. What?
LORELAI: I just like that once in awhile, you still seem like a little kid.
RORY: They do, I swear.
LORELAI: Let's just watch the snow.
THE END
And now…………without further ado, we shall move into my version of the rest of Season Three!
