The next day in school was like any other. Rory and Ashley were talking as if there were nothing wrong, even though for Rory there was. The school day ended just asquickly as the last and the girl's found themselves at their lockers, getting their books.
"Wanna come over tonight? I think Dean may come over and maybe Lane, we were gonna have a movie marathon," Rory offered.
"Sure! That's great! Should i just come with you now?" Ashley asked.
"Sure," Rory shrugged, and the two girl's walked off.
They got home about forty five minutes later, to find Loralei home from work.
"Hey mom," Rory said cheerfully.
"Hey sweetie," Loralei said just as cheerful.
"Are you staying for the marathon tonight?" Rory asked.
"Well we do have the Friday night dinner tonight, but maybe i could squeeze you out of it, but if you dont go that means i will, so i'm afraid i won't be staying," Loralei said and walked to the phone.
The time was now five thirty, and the girls began to prepare for the night.
"Ok, what do we need?" Rory asked as she scanned the grocery store aisle for various snacks.
"GUMMY BEARS! OH MAN WE NEED THESE!" Ashley practically yelled as she ran over to the location of the gummy bears.
Rory laughed and grabbed them. Ashley may have been competition, but she sure was fun to be with.
"We'll get popcorn of course, and some chips," Rory grabbed an assortment of chips and a box of popcorn, then the girls moved onto the ice cream.
"What kind?" Rory asked her friend.
"Rocky road no doubt," Ashley said.
She took it from the freezer, and let Rory choose the next.
The girl's chose their snacks, then went onto the movies.
"Usually we do the movies first, so then we can choose the snacks in the mood of the movie, but we can do it different tonight," Rory said as she stepped out from the video store and onto the street.
"You guys are weird," Ashley laughed, playfully teasing her friend.
"Here, i have an idea, you can go get Dean, and i'll get Lane so it will take less time, and we'll just meet back at the house," Rory suggested.
"Good idea," Ashley said, "Dean's house is that way right?" she pointed to her right.
"Yep," Rory said, "You remember the house right?" she asked.
"Yeah, i'll be fine."
"Ok, see ya in a few," Rory said and the girl's started in their seperate directions.
Rory reached Lane's house in a matter of 2 minutes, and was greatfully greeted by Lane.
"Hey Lane," Rory said.
"Hey," she said happily.
"We were just having a movie marathon tonight, wanna come?" Rory asked.
"That sounds cool, who's going?" Lane asked, clearly excited.
"Dean, and Ashley, the one you met the other day," Rory said, happy to hear her friend excited at the prospect.
"Oh, i just remembered i have a project due monday, and a huge test in Science, so i probably shouldn't," Lane said, she didn't sound sad, she sounded mad.
"Oh, sure i understand, i'll see you later," Rory said as she stepped away from the house.
"Bye," Lane said and closed the door.
Meanwhile, Ashley managed to find Dean's house, and Dean the only one home.
"Hey Ashley," he said as he found her on the porch.
"Hey Dean, wanna come for a movie marathon at the Gilmore Residents?" Ashley said.
"That sounds great, i'm all alone tonight, so i'll have something to do," he said, then continued, "I'm just gonna grab my coat."
Dean disappeared fast, and came back just as quickly.
"So Rory sent you for me?" Dean asked as he adjusted his jacket, and walked down the steps with Ashley.
"Yeah, she went to get Lane while i get you," Ashley explained.
"Ahh," he said, "Good idea."
"Really, why?" Ashley asked flirtatiously.
"Well you know, it's just a good idea, because uh, it wont take as much time," Dean seemed to like the flirting but feel nervous at the same time.
There was silence for a while, until Ashley broke it, "How long have you guys been going out?" she asked.
"About seven months," Dean said.
"That's good," Ashley said.
"What is?" Dean asked.
"The fact that you know how long you and your girlfriend have been going out, i always liked that in a guy," Ashley said and looked up at him to see his reaction.
He smiled at her as if he were happy that he had good points with Ashley.
Somehow both of them knew, that this might be a long night.
"Wanna come over tonight? I think Dean may come over and maybe Lane, we were gonna have a movie marathon," Rory offered.
