Jess was fast asleep in his bed. The sun was coming in threw the window. The door creaked slowly open. Someone tiptoed over to his bed and sat in it.
Katie smirked as she watched Jess sleep. She took a deep breath and then yelled at the top of her voice: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SLEEPY HEAD!" Jess yelled and fell of his bed.
"Holy shit!" He snapped as he made his way out of the mess of covers. He looked up and saw Katie smirking down at him from the bed.
"Morning, birthday-boy." Katie said, laughing.
"Oh, you think this is funny, do you?" Jess snapped, rubbing his head.
"Oh, you bet I do!" Katie said, still laughing.
"Well, I'll show you!" He grabbed her wrist and flung her down on the floor and began to tickle her. Katie laughed and kicked her legs.
"Jess, stop!" She yelled, threw laughs. "You are go to pay for this you piece of crap!" She rolled over, taking him with her and started to tickle him. He laughed and rolled her over again so that he was once again. They both laughed a little at the game and then Jess stopped as he noticed how close they where.
Katie stopped laughing, too, and looked into Jess' eyes. She could feel her heart beat faster and faster. "Does this mean I win?" She whispered.
"I guess so." Jess whispered in reply.
"So what's my price?" She asked. Jess looked deep into her eyes.
No, Jess, He told himself She's your best friend, remember? She isn't your girlfriend... but... she looks so... so... Without even thinking, he closed the space between them and kiss her lips. She put her arms around his neck in reply and brought him closer. It was a soft kiss, but then it turn a little hotter. Jess ran a hand down her side as the kiss became opened mouthed and hard.
Jess and Katie pulled away so they could breath. They looked at each other, wondering what the other was thinking.
"What does this mean?" Katie asked, at last. Jess shook his head.
"I don't know..." He said. "... Will you be my girlfriend, Katie?" He asked.
"YES!" Katie yelled! "Jess, of course I will! I've waited so long to here you say that!" Jess laughed and shook his head.
"Come on, I need food." Jess got up and helped Katie to her feet. He looked her over and smiled. "I have one hot girlfriend!" He said, winking.
"Right back at you, birthday-boy!" Katie laughed. "Oh, I just remembered! I got you a gift!"
"You mean the kiss wasn't it?" Jess asked, faking hurt.
"No, that was my prize for winning the tickle war." She dug threw her bag and found two gifts wrapped in plane blue paper. "Happy birthday, Jess!" She handed him the gift and he shook his head, laughing a little. "Open it! Open it!"
Jess tore off the paper of the first gift and found a Stained Poster. He opened the next and found a Pretenders CD. Jess smiled. "I love them!" He said. "Thanks, Katie." He kissed her lips softly and then put his forehead agents hers "Did you know Luke and Lorelai Gilmore went on a date to see the Pretenders?"
Katie's mouth hung open. "No way? It took them long enough!" Jess laughed with Katie as they went down stairs.
~~
Lane, Rory, and Dean sat in the Gilmore living room. Rory was on the phone.
"Is he home yet?" Rory asked threw a bit of pizza.
"Shh, he hasn't got on yet!" Lane said. Suddenly she hung up, with a big smile. "Yup, he's home!"
Dean rolled his eyes. "I still don't see why you just can't talk to him."
"Because, I don't want him to know that I like him!" Lane said. "I just want to call and hang up on him! Is that so bad?"
"Is what so bad?" Lorelai asked as she came in. "Hey, pizza!" She grabbed a piece and began to eat it.
"Dean thinks Lane is crazy for calling and hanging up on her soon to be boyfriend!" Rory said.
"Oh, that's like, a law in a women's life! They need to hang up on guys they like! It's an unwritten rule!" Lorelai said. "Hey, Rory, can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Yeah, sure." Lorelai and Rory walked into the other room.
"Ok, so I think I found who I can use as my dance partner!" Lorelai said, with a big smile.
"Oh, really? Who?" Rory asked, smiling.
Lorelai only smiled at Rory.
"NO WAY!" Rory almost screamed!
"Rory!" Lorelai bagged.
"I'm not going to do this! I promised I'd watch it with Dean!"
"But I don't have one and I NEED one!"
"What about your boyfriend?" Rory asked.
"Luke won't do it! I asked him first! Please, Rory! I'm bagging you!"
Rory sighed and looked at her mom who was doing a little puppy dog face. "Ok! I'll ask Dean if he minds and if he doesn't, then I will!"
"AH! Bless you, dear!" Lorelai said, with a big smile.
"You should seal cars!" Rory said as she walked back to the living room.
"O should, shouldn't I?" Lorelai said, smiling.
~~
Kati, Jess and Luke where down in the diner. Luke was taking orders, Jess was whipping down the counter, and Katie was sitting in a booth, reading a book.
Jess walked over to her, with a little smile. "What are you thinking about?" He asked, looking over her shoulder. Katie looked up at him and smiled.
"I was thinking about how much fun it would be to enter the dance contest." Katie said, smirking.
"Oh no, you don't!" Jess said, sitting down in front of her. "You are so not dragging me to that thing!"
"Come on, Jess," Katie bagged, "It's not like you have work that day! And we don't have that much homework, and it'll be fun!"
"That's is way to 70's for me! Katie, please don't make me do this!"
"Fine, I just thought it might be fun." Katie shrugged, and went back to her book.
Jess sighed as he looked out at the big singe over the gym. He groaned. "Fine, let's do it!"
Katie jumped up and hugged him, tight. "Jess, you are so the best!" She kissed his cheek and stood up. "I need to go sleep! In less then 15 hours, you and me are going to be in a dance marathon!" She kissed his lips and ran out the door.
Jess smiled and shook her head. Luke walked over to him and smirked. "Aw, young love." He said, almost laughing.
"You mock, but I don't see Lorelai giving you in PDA kisses." Jess said.
"Well, that's just because one person sees us, it's all over the town!" Luke said in a whisper.
"Yeah, well, unlike you and Lorelai, me and Katie enjoy letting people know we are together." Jess smiled. "Luke, how does it feel when you... fall in love?"
Luke looked at him in shock. "Well, I don't really know for sure. I think no one can really explain love... you just feel it."
Jess nodded. He couldn't help but wonder if he did love Katie... and if she loved him. Jess got up and went back to work his mind still on Katie.
~~ The next day ~~
Rory and Lorelai walked towered the Gym. Lorelai was dressed in a black dress; Rory was in a red dress with white poke-a-dots. Rory moaned.
"Don't worry, dear, coffee is on its' way." Lorelai said.
"It better be!" Rory moaned.
"Oh my word!" Lorelai stopped.
"What?"
"Look who is dancing!" Lorelai almost burst into a fit of laughing. Rory looked at saw Jess and Katie dressed in 70's outfits. Jess was dressed in jeans and a Polo shirt which would only have passed for 70's on Jess, since he never wore that stuff. Katie was dressed in a sky blue dress with her hair pulled back into a pony tail. Jess was muttering about how early it was why Katie drank down a cup of coffee. "Wow, didn't guess I'd see them there."
"Why would they be dancing?" Rory asked. "I'd think, they'd think it was stupid."
"Yes, well, love makes people do some weird things. Come on, I want to get us singed in." Lorelai dragged Rory over the table.
Katie and Jess walked into Miss Patty's and Jess elbowed Katie in the ribs. "Ow!" She said. "What was that for?"
"Look over there." Jess nodded towered Lane.
"Who's that?"
"Rory's best friend."
"Ah." They stood there for a moment before Katie began to walk over to her. Jess was so shocked that he didn't even say anything. Katie walked over to Lane and smiled. "Hi! I'm Katie, Jess' girlfriend. Your Rory's friend... right?"
Lane looked shocked. "Uh... yeah. I'm Lane." She shook Katie's hand, which Katie had offered. "It's nice to meet you. I've heard Rory and Dean talk about you."
"Good things I hope."
"Yes, very good things.... are you and Jess in the dance contest?"
"Yup!" Katie smiled, all proud, "It took him forever to finale say yes."
"Not forever!" Jess said, as he walked over to them. "Just like, five minutes."
"Jess." Lane said in a cold voice.
"Lane." Jess replied, just as coldly. "Not dancing?"
"Nope."
"Huh."
Katie looked at them, first at Lane, then at Jess. She rolled her eyes. "Well, Lane, it was very nice to meet you." She said at last.
"Oh, yeah, right back at ya." Lane said, with a little half smile. "Oh, Jess," She walked over to her back pack and pulled out a book. "Here." She said, shoving the book into his rips. Then she went back to dishing up sand- witches.
Jess Looked at the book, which turn out to be the Science book he had let you borrow, and then frowned. "Come on, Katie, lets get out of here." He took Katie's hand and led her out of Miss Patty's.
Once out of the building, Katie pulled Jess' hand away. "What was that all about?" She asked.
"Nothing... me and Lane just don't get along." Jess said.
Well, duh! I'm not blind, Jess!" She sighed. "Come on, it's going to start soon."
~~
TBC... next time, the dance contest is all! Place your bets now!
