*************

Lorelai and Rory walked into the house.

"I need a shower." Lorelai says.

"Don't be so dramatic."

" 'I agree with you a hundred percent.' Ugh!"

"Go upstairs."

" Find a movie, I'll be down in a minute."

"Okay."

" 'I agree with you a hundred percent.' I may have to shave my head also."

"Bye."

Rory took the phone into her room and dialed a number.

"Hello?" Jess answers.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing, you?" He laid his book down and stretched out, content.

"Nothing."

"Why'd you call?"

"" I . . um, I wanted to. . ."

"I'm glad you called." He whispers.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Why?" She played with the hem of her sheet, her heart hopeful.

"Because maybe you can explain what the hell this crazy woman is talking about."

"Ah, The Fountainhead." Her heart drops.

"Yes. Your fault, and you will pay."

"I promise. Commit to it one more time and if it still is awful for you, I will make

it up to you."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. I'm gonna hold you to that."

" I bet you will."

They fell into a comfortable silence. Rory broke it by sighing loudly.

"What's wrong?" Jess asks.

"Nothing."

"Rory?"

"Nothing." She said again, less convincingly than the first time.

"Okay, fine whatever. You don't have to tell me."

"There's nothing wrong." She said, a little more animatedly than she had meant to.

"So you said."

"Jess...."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Okay."

"I had fun, okay?"

"Me too."

"You did?"

"Yeah."

"Okay."

Silence.

"Listen Rory....." Jess began.

"Yeah?"

"Nothing, never mind."

"Okay."

Silence again.

"Dean talked to my Mom." Rory said.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

"About?"

"Us." She sighed.

"Us?"

"The basket thing. Us."

"Oh."

"He actually went to my Mom." Once again she sighed.

"That bothers you?"

"Yeah."

"He bother you?"

"Yeah."

Silence.

"Wait, did you just.....you tricked me!" She said.

"No I didn't."

"But I said he bothers me."

"You did."

"And that means...."

"What does that mean?"

"Nothing. It means nothing."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Okay."

Silence.

"Rory?"

"Yeah?"

"I want it to mean something." He whispered..

"I want it to mean something, too." He could barely hear her.

"Oh, I got to go. My Mom's out of the shower...." She said in a hurry.

"Wait...Rory....wait.." Jess stammered.

"Bye." She said and hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" Lorelai asked as she walked down the stairs.

"Dean. I called him back since he paged me." Rory lied. It would be the first in many lies she told her mother.

On the other end of the line Jess just stared at the phone.

"It bite you?" Luke asked.

"Maybe."

The next morning

Rory walked into the diner and sat beside Dean, who was already eating eggs.

"Hey. You didn't call me back last night." He said in greeting.

Jess walked over and poured her a cup of coffee.

"Yeah. Got home too late to call you."

"That's funny, because I called and it was busy."

"Mmm. Someone else was probably trying to call."

"Right. Taylor saw Lorelai driving home around nine."

"Well, I went to Lane's."

"I called Lane's. You weren't there."

"You called Lane's?"

"Yeah. Rory, why are you lying to me? Why won't you just tell me why you didn't call me back?"

"You had no right to call Lane's when I wasn't home!"

"I wanted to know where you were!"

"I wasn't anywhere."

"You had to be somewhere."

"I was home."

"So why did you lie?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Just because Dean okay."

"Does it have to do with him?" Dean looked up at Jess.

"No."

"You're lying."

"So what if I am, Dean? He's my friend."

"So it was about him. I knew it!"

"You knew what?"

"You weren't at home at all! You were with him!"

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying you went out with him."

"Like I cheated on you?"

"Exactly."

"Dean I love you," Don't I? " I would never do that."

"I don't believe you."

"I don't believe you." She said.

By this time Jess had walked away to serve another customer. He hated seeing Dean treat her this way. He had to do something about this.

"He's been all over you since the day he got here! And now you've fallen for it!"

"Dean!"

"Hey, man cool it!" Jess yelled. "She wasn't with me okay?"

"Did I ask you?" Dean snarled.

"Listen. You can have your insecurities somewhere else. And don't treat Rory like shit because you think you aren't worth her time."

" I'm getting sick of you."

"Dean. Please leave." Rory whispered.

"No, I'm not done talking to you." He said.

"The girl asked you to leave."

"Fuck off Mariano."

"You don't want to fuck with me Bag Boy."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're smart figure it out."

Dean looked at Jess with red-hot fury in his eyes.

"Dean, stop it. Luke!" Rory called.

Luke came running down the stairs.

"What's wrong?"

"Please. Tell Dean to leave."

"Out!"

"Not until Mariano leaves my girl alone."

"I never touched her."

"You filthy, lying bastard." Dean took a swing at Jess.

"I'm not the bastard." Jess hit him back.

Luke ran over and pulled them apart.

"Out, before I call the cops." He said to Dean. He pointed to a chair. "Sit." He said to Jess.

When Jess sat and Dean left Luke looked around. "Out, we're closed! And any of you breathe a word about this and you'll be banned for life!"

When everyone had left Luke looked at Jess. "What's going on here?"

"He was standing up for me." Rory said, her voice small. She didn't deal with violence very well.

"What for?"

"Dean got mad when I didn't call him back. I guess he thought I was with Jess. He called Lane's when I didn't answer the phone at my house. That's what we were arguing about."

"He started yelling at me Luke. I asked him to leave. He yelled some more. Jess was trying to get him to go. He started yelling at Jess too. That's when I called for you."

Rory was starting to cry.

"Okay, calm down. He's gone now." Luke said.

"Oh great. He made her cry. I'll kill the...."

"Jess."

"What?" He snapped.

"Thanks."

"For?"

"Trying to handle the Dean situation."

"Yeah. Whatever."
