Growing Up…Closer and Apart

By: Girl86star

A/N: Okay, I know this seems really weird, but give it a try. I wrote this as if it was an episode, so occasionally you'll see camera directions (like, shot of Rory), fades (like, fade to credits), stuff like that. Read the parentheses to find out who is speaking and of there is and actions going on. Also, I don't like J*ss, so I write his name J*ss. This is my first fic, so it might suck. And I suck at spelling...just giving you a fair warining. Oh and last, but not certainly not least, I have to give a huge thanks to my friend SusieQ13 for helping me put this up here and for encouraging me to write this. You're the best. On with the fic…about a show.

Back-story: Lane decides that she wants to stay friends with Dean after Rory broke Dean's heart (because she's a slut). Rory and J*ss are now going out.

Episode one: The Unexpectedness of it All

At Dean's house. Lane and Dean are working on a project. Dean is lying on his bed, which is against a wall, and Lane is sitting on a bench in his window. The bedroom door is behind the backboard of the bed.

"I can't believe we have to do a project for Health class." (Lane)

"I know it's so Undressed." (Dean)

"Dawson's Creek." (Lane)

"John Hughes teen movies." (Dean)

"Sixteen Candles." (Lane)

"Ferris Buellers Day Off." (Dean)

"Pretty in Pink." (Lane)

"The Breakfast Club." (Dean)

"Answer the question Clare." (Lane & Dean)

"Can I ask you a question?" (Lane)

"You can ask, but if I don't answer are you gonna start yelling 'answer the question Dean'?" (Dean)

"I don't know." (Lane)

"Ask the question." (Dean)

"Are you over Rory?" (Lane)

"I don't know. I know I'll never be completely over her, but I just like to hope I could love someone as much or more then I loved Rory. I just also hope I get over her before I go to collage because I want to be able to have a relationship while I'm there or I could have sex and not feel weird because I'm not over her yet." (Dean. Lane kisses Dean. Lane and Dean both look at each other for a second)

"I have to go." (Lane runs out)

The next day. Dean is sitting in his room. Lane knocks on the door.

"Come in." (Dean. Lane comes in.)

"We really need to talk." (Lane)

"Agreed." (Dean)

"We kissed yesterday." (Lane)

"I know." (Dean)

"It's all I've bee thinking about." (Lane)

"Me too." (Dean)

"Dose this mean we have feelings for each other?" (Lane)

"I don't know. Do you?" (Dean)

"Have feelings for you?…I don't know either. All I do know is that I really enjoyed that kiss." (Lane)

"It was a really good kiss." (Dean)

"So, what should we do?" (Lane)

"Well, lets look at it this way, we're not sure what this means, but we enjoy it. Agreed?" (Dean)

"Agreed." (Lane)

"So, lets see what happens. Maybe it will lead somewhere good, maybe it won't." (Dean)

"I like that." (Lane)

"The only problem is that we live here." (Dean)

"Good point." (Lane)

"Maybe we don't tell anyone about this. I mean between your mom, no offence…" (Dean)

"None taken." (Lane)

"And Rory and simple town gossip – it would make it something that we don't even know it is yet." (Dean)

"Very true." (Lane)

"So." (Dean)

"So, dose this mean that we're a – how you say – an item." (Lane)

"I guess so." (Dean. Both smile at each other.)
