Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls. If I did, I don't think any narcos, sophies, or trory people would like it. Mostly because it would be pretty much Jess. All the time! What else is better, right?

Recap: RJ kiss, Rory says that she doesn't like Jess because she doesn't want to seem desperate or an idiot since he has a girlfriend. They go back to speaking terms and Rory gets an internship in Pennsylvania. Lorelai wants Rory to stay with Jess and Ursula confronts Jess about being standoffish and she fake cries.

Chapter 9: Dream, Mariah Carey, and Dido

Lorelai walked into the diner and looked around.

Lorelai: "Luke!" she yelled as she sat down at the counter. Jess walked over to her and poured her a cup of coffee.

Jess: "Your lover boy isn't here. He had a shipment he had to pick up." He said smiling sarcastically.

Lorelai: "Very funny." She deadpanned. "Do you know where Rory is?" she asked before she took a sip of her coffee.

Jess: "Right there." He said as he nodded outside of the window. Sure enough, Rory was almost in front of the diner. She saw a blonde about 10 feet in front of her and she stopped dead in her tracks. Lorelai looked curiously at her as Rory looked panicked.

Blondie turned around and Rory visibly relaxed and continued on her merry way to the diner. She came in and sat down with her mom.

Rory: "Hey." She said a little out of breath. (I don't know why.)

Lorelai: "Hey. Uh… what was that?" she said nodding outside. Rory followed her mom's nod and looked outside.

Rory: "What was what?"

Lorelai: "The whole 'deer in the headlights' look with that blonde guy."

Rory: "Oh. That." She said laughing nervously. "I thought it was… I thought it was Logan." She said softly looking down.

Lorelai: "Why would it be him? Has he been calling?" she asked leaning in.

Rory: "No. I just didn't know if he got the hint."

Lorelai: "What hint?"

Rory: "The whole 'leaving him at the bar and never talking to him again' hint." She said smiling nervously.

Lorelai: "You never broke up with him?!" she practically yelled. Everyone in the diner looked at Lorelai and she smiled sheepishly. "Sorry." The diner patrons returned to their chatter and Lorelai turned back to Rory. "You didn't break up with him?" she whispered.

Rory: "Not per se."

Lorelai: "Does he even know you guys are broken up?" she questioned.

Rory: "I think so… hopefully."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was evening and Rory and Lorelai had both ordered a burger and were sitting at the bar. Luke brought over their burgers and put them on the table.

Luke: "Dead animal. Dead animal." He said after he put each plate down.

Lorelai: "With that attitude, I'm surprised you have any customers." She said in a snobby tone and she put her nose in the air.

Luke: "Fine, have it your way." He said as he picked up both their plates and walked away.

Rory: "Mom." She whined. "Look what you did."

Lorelai: "LUUKKKKEE!!" she groaned. "I'm sorry!! Food! Please!" she screamed.

Rory: "What did I do to deserve this?" she asked Luke's ceiling. "I didn't say anything but here we are, foodless."

Jess walked down the stairs to find Luke holding 2 burgers above his head, Lorelai screaming, and Rory talking to the ceiling. He immediately turned around and bolted back up the stairs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally Luke got tired of the screaming so he gave Rory and Lorelai's food back. Now they were both eating happily like nothing had ever gone wrong.

Lorelai: "So… when are you telling cough cough?"

Rory: "Cough cough? As in that cough cough?"

Lorelai: "No the other cough cough." She said sarcastically. "Of course that cough cough." Luke just stared at them weirdly.

Luke: "Do you guys need a cough drop or something?" They decided to ignore his comment.

Rory: "I don't know. Anytime I guess." She said shrugging.

Lorelai: "Okay. Now!" she said pushing Rory out of her chair. Instead of just standing like her mom had pushed her too, she came tumbling to the floor.

Rory: "Ow!" she said sending her mom a glare. Everyone in the diner was staring at Rory sit on the floor, including Jess. (okay I've just got to say something; if I was rory I would be so happy to just SEE jess every day! THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!! (scream) Okay, back to the story.)

Rory just smiled sheepishly and got off the floor. She stumbled a little bit but eventually got into her chair. "Thanks a lot mom!" she whispered.

Lorelai: "Sorry." She said giving a sympathetic shrug. (if there is one) "My plans can't work perfectly every time."

Jess: "Are you okay?" he asked with a smirk in a mocking way. She just glared at him and said

Rory: "I'm fine." Jess poured her a cup of coffee and everyone just kind of stood/sat there awkwardly.

Lorelai: "So, Jess." Rory sent her mom a look and shook her head indicating 'no' behind Jess' back. "Have you heard that Rory got an internship until she goes back to Yale?"

Jess: "Really? That's great!" he said looking at Rory. "Where is it?"

Rory: "Its right arundwhereyoulive." He said jumbling her words together.

Jess: "Where?" he asked confused.

Rory: "It's in Pennsylvania." She said trying not to give herself away. Jess looked at her surprised.

Jess: "Really?"

Lorelai: "Yeah. She just has to find a place. Now, I don't really want her to go because she'll be staying all by her lonesome self… but what can you do?" she said, ignoring Rory mouthing 'stop.'

Jess: "Well… I happen to live in Philadelphia." He said, trying to cover up his smirk.

Lorelai: "Oh my gosh! We totally forgot about that." She said in a bad actress kind of way. "But what does that have to do with Rory?" she asked trying to look innocent.

Jess: "She can stay with me and Ursula until she finds a place." Rory smiled but once she heard 'Ursula's' name her smile quickly dropped. Jess turned around to look at her and she forced a smile onto her face.

Lorelai mouthed frantically behind Jess' back 'Ursula?!' Jess turned around to look at her and she forced a smile similar to Rory's.

Rory: "Great. Can't wait." She said as Jess walked away. "Actually, I can." She muttered once he was out of ear shot.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lorelai and Rory were walking around the town square and were on their way to Luke's for coffee. They had spent all day packing up some of Rory's things. (FYI, yesterday was when they told Jess so they left the diner, went home and the next day [today packed)

It was about 6 and hen they walked into the diner, it was dead empty. They looked around shocked as Jess and Luke walked down the stairs.

Lorelai: "Whoa. Its empty!" she said not believing her eyes.

Rory: "I know." She said in awe. Luke was pulling out their mugs for coffee and said

Luke: "Sometimes the diner gets a lull where its empty." He said shrugging his shoulders.

Rory: "Where is everybody?" she asked curiously.

Luke: "They were all going to K.C.'s for karaoke night… at least that's what Kirk said." Rory and Lorelai looked at each other smiling.

Lorelai: "TO K.C.'s we go!" she said walking out the door. Rory turned and looked at Luke and Jess.

Rory: "You guys should come." They both scoffed and said

L-J: "No, I don't think so." They both looked at each other weirdly and then looked back at Rory.

Rory: "You guys are getting more like each other every day. First you both work in the diner and then you both become hermits. You guys are really bonding." She said in a mocking way.

Jess and Luke both looked grossed out and Rory could hear Jess and Luke saying

"Hold on! I'll walk with you guys."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They had all finally arrived at K.C.'s and they found a table. They cringed as they heard Mrs. Patty singing but Lorelai suggested they order a couple of drinks to lessen the blow.

Shortly after they arrived, Ursula showed up and sat right between Jess and Rory. After everyone had a couple of drinks, Rory decided she was going to sing karaoke. (I'm sorry but it fit and I know its supposed to be LL but I changed it)

She got on stage and nervously fidgeted. Her song came on and it turned out to be 'White Flag' by Dido. Even though her and her mom mocked her music non stop, this song really applied.

And when we meet

Which I'm sure we will

All that was there

Will be there still

I'll let it pass

And hold my tongue

And you will think

That I've moved on

The whole time she sang, she looked straight at Jess. Everyone noticed, especially Ursula. 'She's good.' She thought. 'But I'm better.'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once Rory was done everyone clapped and she walked off the stage. As she was walking off, Ursula was walking on. They spent a moment glaring at each other but then they brushed against each others shoulders and kept walking.

Ursula walked confidently on stage and Mariah Carey's 'X-Girlfriend' started playing. She did a couple of dance moves and started singing, looking directly at Rory.

Ex-girlfriend you can't have him

It's about time

That you found a new man

He's moved on

Don't you know, don't you know

You gotta let him go

Ex-girlfriend you don't listen

Stop trying

He's not gonna give in

He's not your anymore

Don't you know

You gotta let him go

Let him go, let him go

I understand why

You want him back

But don't you know

Our love's too strong too penetrate

Its too late

He's not your baby anymore

She didn't even stop there. She sang 'He loves you not' by Dream.

No chains to unlock, so free to do what he wants

He's into what he's got

He loves me, he loves you not

No matter what you do, he's never gonna be with you

He's into what he's got

He loves me, he loves you not

Ursula finished the last song and everyone looked shocked at her. Who did she think she was? Now it was her against the town.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh! Now don't you hate Ursula? You do huh? Good! I finally reached my goal. The end. Seriously, this is the end of my story… Nah! Just kidding! I have a lot more to come. Drama! Duh, is there any other way?
