"Morning mom" Rory said sleepily as she walked into the kitchen.

"Morning sweets" Lorelai replied.

Rory smiled and headed for a cereal box, but before she could pick it up Lorelai snatched it.

"Hey, what's the big idea?" Rory asked with a small whine.

"We are going to Luke's for breakfast, I need coffee." Lorelai told her.

"You always need coffee. Why don't you just make some here/"Rory asked impatiently as she tried to snatch the cereal box back, but Lorelai would have none of it.

"Because, Luke makes the best coffee" Lorelai said dramatically.

Rory sighed. "Fine, let's go."

Lorelai clapped her hands. "Yay!"

Rory winced. "Are you sure that you need caffeine?"

Lorelai laughed. "Yep. Now move it missy."

"Luke we need coffee!" Lorelai announced to the entire diner, as she and Rory walked in.

Luke rolled his eyes and poured two cups of coffee.

After setting them on the counter, he studied Lorelai and Rory.

Lorelai looked her usual peppy self, and Rory looked just plain grumpy.

Jess glanced up at them and winced. Rory looked like she was in a bad mood. "But that's understandable, since Lorelai seems even peppier than normal" Jess thought.

A few minutes later, Rory stoop up and said, "I'm gonna go now."

Lorelai glanced up at her. "You going to see Dean at the market/"

"No. I'm going to see Lane." Rory told her before leaving.

"Hey Lane" Rory said a minute later.

"Hey, what's up?" Lane asked her.

Rory frowned. "Nothing much. Just something that I'm thinking about."

Lane gave her a look and said. "Spill!"

Rory looked at her. "Huh?"

"Spill! I can tell that you're grumpy. What's up?"

Rory sighed and sat down. "I have to break up with Dean."

Lane gasped and leaned forward. "Why?"

"Because I don't want to be with him anymore. Now, can we please not discuss this any further?"

Lane shrugged. "Sure."

Rory spent about an hour chatting with Lane, and then she headed back to Luke's.

Ï figured that you would still be here." Rory told Lorelai when she saw her still sitting at the counter talking to Luke.

Lorelai grinned. "Did you and Lane have a nice chat?"

Rory grimaced. "Yeah."

"Ok, Luke I have to go" Lorelai said as she pulled Rory out the door.

Luke just stood there looking confused at heir sudden departure.

"Mom! What are you doing? I wanted to get some coffee," Rory protested as Lorelai pulled her down the street.

Lorelai stopped and faced her. "What is going on with you?"

"What do you mean?" Rory asked.

"You are grumpy and moody. What is going on?" Lorelai asked again.

Rory sighed and looked down at the sidewalk. "I have to breakup with Dean."

Lorelai wrinkled her nose in confusion. "Why?"

"Because I don't want to date him anymore." Rory said in a matter of fact voice.

Dean, who had come out of Doose's to say hi, caught Rory's last statement.

His mouth fell open in disbelief. "You don't want to date me anymore?" He repeated.

Rory and Lorelai spun around, looking shocked.

When they turned, Rory noticed for the first time that they had stopped right outside of the market.

"Dean I" Rory began.

Dean held up his hand. "Stop. I heard it from your mouth already. You don't want to date me? That is just fine!" Turning around, he stormed back into the market.

Rory groaned and dropped her face into her hands. "It wasn't supposed to go like that," she said miserably.

Lorelai patted her back sympathetically. "I know honey. I'm sorry. I should have waited to ask you when we got home."

Rory looked up at her. "It's not your fault. I should have told you before. I'm sorry too."

Lorelai took her arm and they started walking down the street toward home. "It's okay. Hey, I bet I know what we could do to take your mind off of it" Lorelai exclaimed.

Rory smiled. "It's okay. I don't need my mind taken off of it. I had to breakup with him anyway. I'm sorry it went the way it did though."

"Let's do it anyway, it will be fun" Lorelai said.

"What do you want to do?" Rory asked her.

"Let's have a slumber party. You can even invite Lane" Lorelai told her.

Rory grinned. "Okay, but let's avoid the market until Dean gets off work."

"Yeah, or he might throw a tantrum right in the middle of the green bean aisle." Lorelai said in a singsong voice.

Rory giggled at her.

"Since it's Friday night and the grandparents have a social thing, let's have it tonight" Lorelai told her.

"Okay, I'll go ask Lane" Rory said before running off.

Lorelai grinned and headed back to Luke's for more coffee.

Later that night Lorelai, Rory, and Lane were sitting in the living room playing Truth or Dare.

"Okay, Rory it's your turn. Truth or dare?" Lorelai asked.

Rory thought for a minute before saying, "Dare."

"Oh, your brave" Lane teased.

Rory rolled her eyes, while Lorelai grinned.

"Okay, Rory your dare is to call the guy that you have feelings for" Lorelai told her.

"But she broke up with Dean" Lane protested.

Lorelai glanced at Lane. "Yes, but she broke up with him for a reason. Now call that reason and tell him," Lorelai said as she handed Rory the cordless phone.

Rory gulped and took the phone.

Both Lorelai and Lane leaned forward to see if the numbers that Rory punched in could be recognized by either one of them.

Rory noticed and hid the buttons. "Yes, hello. I'm calling to say that someone likes you" Rory said in a totally unnatural voice.

As soon as she hung up, both Lane and Lorelai began to complain.

"You hid your voice" Lane said accusingly.

"So. Mom didn't say any rules about that" Rory said with a grin.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hello" Lorelai sang after she picked it up.

"Okay, here she is" Lorelai said as she handed the phone to Rory.

"Hello" Rory said.

Jess's voice sounded into her ear "Hey, Rory. You know that whole Star 69 really comes in handy," Jess told her smugly.
