Summary: When a newcomer is in Stars Hollow, they stir things up for Lorelai and Max.
1 At the Cotillion at Chilton
Dean is dancing with Rory. "Having fun yet?" Rory asked Dean.
"Well, I hate tuxedos and I hate going to formals, but I'm having fun because I'm with you." Dean said.
Rory smiled at him and kissed him.
Lorelai enters the room, waves at Rory and Dean, and takes a picture of them dancing. Sookie enters the room.
"Hey, I didn't know you were coming." Lorelai said turning to Sookie. "I didn't know that I was either, but I wanted to make sure you have a chaperone." Sookie said.
"Me, why?" Lorelai asked Sookie.
"For when you tell him, and so I can keep an eye on you two." Sookie said.
Sookie, I'm shocked! No, wait I'd be shocked if Rory said something like that. Never mind." said Lorelai.
"I think I see him, and Lauren is no where to be seen. Go talk to him he's over by the refreshments table. Maybe he'll ask you to dance." Sookie encouraged.
"Alright, alright, but if I make a fool of myself in front of him I'll never live this down, and I'll make sure you won't either." Lorelai said.
Lorelai walks over to the refreshments table and begins to pour herself some punch, and then walks toward Max.
"Great party, isn't it?" Lorelai asked Max
. "It's boring as heck." Max responded.
Lorelai laughed. "It is nice to see the kids have fun though. With all the work they get." Lorelai said.
"Yeah it is. Rory and Dean look like they're enjoying themselves." Max said.
"Yeah they do, I can't remember the last time I was happy like they were." Lorelai said.
"You feel the same way again soon I'm sure." Max said.
"Yeah maybe. Where's Lauren tonight? Did she come here with you? Lorelai asked.
"Yeah, she's a chaperone here too. She went to fix her make-up." "So do you want to dance?" Max asked.
"Okay." Lorelai said.
They start dancing to "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. When the song was over Lauren comes back and sees them.
"Uh, hi Lauren." Max said to a very upset looking Lauren.
"I can't believe you dancing with her to our song. Well we are through." Lauren screamed.
"Lauren wait-" Max pleaded as Lauren walked out the door.
"I'm sorry." Lorelai apologized to Max.
"It's not you're fault." Max said. "Do you want me to drive you home?" Max asked.
"Um…okay. Let me just check on Rory and Dean." Lorelai said.
Lorelai walks back over to the dance floor where Rory and Dean are. "Hey guys do you need a ride home?" Lorelai asked.
"No thanks." They replied at the same time.
"Have her back by 10:45, Dean. Lorelai said.
"Okay." Dean said.
The Gilmore's Porch
"Thanks for driving me home Max." Lorelai said.
"You're welcome." Max replied.
"So I guess I'll see you around." Lorelai said
. "Yeah I guess you will, Lauren can't do anything about it now. She was always the jealous type." Max said.
"There's something I've been meaning to tell you for a long time now." Lorelai said.
"Really, what is it?" Max asked.
"Well you see I-" Lorelai was cut off when her annoying best friend fell out of a tree and asked "Did you tell him yet?" Sookie asked.
"Well we were in the middle of something." Lorelai said very vexed.
"Oh, right, sorry." Sookie said apologetically.
"Hey Max how have you been?" Sookie asked. "Really well." Max said.
Lorelai glares at Sookie. "Well I'd better be going, see you around Max."
Sookie said and left. "Like I was trying to say before we were interrupted, I really, really like you." Lorelai said.
Seeing the shocked look on Max's face she quickly said "As a friend, I mean." Lorleai said.
"Ok, um goodnight, then." Max said nervously.
"Goodnight." Lorelai said and went inside.
At the Independence Inn Kitchen the next morning
"I can't believe you didn't tell him! Sookie exclaimed.\
"Well I couldn't tell him after you fell out of that tree and messed things up. Lorelai said.
"Sorry about that. You still may have a chance of getting him. Sookie said.
"What is it?" Lorelai asked.
"Well hang out with him and then take it from there. Help him deal with his break-up." Sookie explained.
"You mean take advantage of him?" Lorelai asked.
"Exactly." Sookie said.
Later that day at Luke's Diner
Lorelai walked in and saw Max sitting at a table drinking coffee by himself. She orders a coffee and decides to talk to him.
"Bad day?" Lorelai asked.
"Yeah. I saw Lauren today at work talking to another guy." Max said.
"Aw. I know what could make you feel better." Lorelai said.
"What?" Max asked.
"Well I could take you to a movie to get your mind off Lauren or by you some coffee." Lorelai said. "Your pick."
"Uh a movie sounds good." Max said.
"What time do you want to go?" Lorelai asked.
"Seven if that's okay with you." Max said.
"Sure." Lorelai said.
"I'll pick you up." Max said.
"So that's in half an hour." Lorelai said looking at her watch.
"Bye." Lorelai said.
"Bye." said Max.
