Title: All I Want For Christmas Is You
Summary: It's Christmas in Stars Hollow, and romance is in the air.
Pairings: R/J, L/L, L/C
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance/Humor
Setup: Dean and Rory broke up at the Dance Marathon, but Jess did not follow Rory to the bridge, and they act like nothing's between them. Lorelai didn't go to Sherrie's baby shower (Heh. I just noticed it said 'show'. Kind of fitting, yes?), and she and Rory are still not speaking to Chris. The rest of the show is the same. Set to "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey. I cut and moved and pasted and altered the lyrics to fit my own needs, but they're still not mine.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the lyrics.
Distribution: Sure, why not? Just email me and tell me where.
Author's Note: Pure, cheesy, one hundred percent Christmas fluff. I'm in the Christmas spirit. I can't help myself. It's a sickness. The chapters are going to be SHORT and FLUFFY, because I'm working on "The Waiting Room" and that takes up a lot of my time. Please check that one out and tell me what you think! (Not a R/J..I flip flop between the 'ships..R/J to R/T to L/C to L/L..)
Feedback: Yes. Please. No flames. Thank you.

~~~~Chapter Four: Everyone Is Singing ~~~~
.. And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need -
won't you please bring my baby to me....
The phone sat on the soft, warm bedspread, white in a sea of red and purple. Lorelai's eyes were trained on the cordless, her hand tightened in a tense fist. Her mind was going through a battle, between call and don't call. Her mind was nearly made up when a knock sounded on her door.
"Yes!" She called out hurriedly, shoving the phone under the blanket speedily.
"You ready?" Rory asked as she opened the door. "I'm getting cravings."
"This is something new?" Lorelai laughed as she grabbed her purse and followed Rory out of the room.
"Yes. I'm craving healthy food-" Rory admitted as they grabbed their coats from the rack and pulled on gloves, hats, and scarves.
"No!"
"Brussel sprouts!"
"NO!"
"And BRAN!"
"Oh, what's happened to my little girl!" Lorelai moaned as they exited their home and headed for their home away from home-Luke's.
"And coffee!"
"Oh, you had me scared there for a minute," Lorelai said, wiping her forehead exaggeratedly.
They walked down the streets of Stars Hollow to the town square, surrounded by a sea of white. There hadn't been fresh snow in days, so looking closely at the mounds of white fluff would destroy the image of pureness, but you could live in denial in a White Christmas world, which is what Lorelai and Rory were doing.
"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year...." The Stars Hollow chorus sang from the gazebo, conducted by a colorfully bundled Miss Patty. The Gilmores giggled as they spied Kirk in the front row, dressed head to toe in Christmas colors.
The music followed them into the diner, drowned out only when Luke called from the kitchen, "If I hear that song one more damn time.."
"Somebody not in the Christmas spirit?" Lorelai asked as they took seats at the diner counter.
"They don't know any more songs! Maybe they should learn something with more than one verse!"
"There is more than one verse to that song," Rory informed him.
"Well they only know the one!" Luke retorted.
"Ooh! It's nearly six thirty, I better go rent a movie," Rory said, jumping down from the stool. "See you in a bit." She exited the diner, the door shutting just as Jess emerged from the kitchen. His eyes went to the window and watched Rory pass by, but he shook himself out of his trance as soon as she disappeared from sight and he noticed Lorelai watching him curiously.
"Jess, get the Shepards their food, they've been waiting for fifteen minutes," Luke barked as he followed Lorelai's stare and noticed Jess.
"Aye aye, captain," Jess said absentmindedly, returning to the kitchen.
"So, where were you yesterday?" Lorelai asked as Luke began to pour her a cup of coffee.
"Huh?" Luke said swiftly.
"Yesterday. You weren't here. I'm a curious cat, and I want to know where you were!"
"Out."
"Just out? That has many different interpretations, you know. You could have been doing any number of things. Out doesn't tell me what."
"I was shopping, if you must know," Luke confessed,
"Shopping, really?" Lorelai pondered. "For who?"
"Jess, mostly."
"You're buying him presents?"
"No, Lorelai, I'm planning to give him empty boxes for Christmas."
"I think the boy deserves a lump of coal," Lorelai decided as Luke sighed and walked over to take the order of a few teenagers.
"What was that?" Jess asked as he materialized suddenly. He carried two warm plates with burgers and fries in his hands over to one table and set them down before returning to the counter. "I deserve coal?"
Lorelai inspected the laid-back look on Jess's face and continued, "Yes."
"And why would that be?"
"Chalk outlines, super-glue..."
Jess nodded, "I see your point." He noticed the already nearly empty mug of coffee in front of Lorelai and filled it up.
"Thanks," Lorelai said instinctively.
"No problem," Jess replied, turning around and retreating into the kitchen once more.
"Maybe half a lump of coal," Lorelai mused, her thoughts interrupted by the jingle of the bell above the door.
"Alright!" Rory said as she came in, letting in a gust of cool are. She demanded coffee from Luke whilst she was setting the bag of films on the counter in front of Lorelai. "We've got Christmas films to last us the next two nights until-"
"Christmas eve!" Lorelai shrieked giddily.
"Just like a little kid," Luke said from the cash register.
"Shut up, shopping boy."
Rory ignored both of them and read the title off of the boxes, "A Christmas Story.."
"Ah, Ralphie and the BB gun!" Lorelai butt in.
"It's A Wonderful Life."
"Every time a bell rings, and angel gets it's wings!" Lorelai giggled. Luke opened the cash register and it tinged. "Thank you, Luke!"
"Happy to oblige," Luke grumbled.
"And last, but certainly not least." Rory paid no heed to her mother and Luke as she read off the last label, "Reservoir Dogs."
"That's not very Christmas-y," Jess commented as he leaned against the door frame. Rory turned to look at him, blush creeping across her cheeks.
"Sure it is," Lorelai said. "Blood? Red? That's a Christmas color."
"Whatever you say," Jess shrugged.
Lorelai hopped off her stool and went to harass Luke, leaving Rory sitting at the counter alone. She let her eyes go everywhere but the boy standing in front of her.
"Hey Rory," Jess said as she finally focused on him.
"Hi," She replied bashfully, fingering the plastic bag in front of her.
"Well, I better get back to work," Jess said after a tension-filled silence, thumbing over his shoulder to the kitchen.
"Uh, yeah," Rory nodded vigorously.
He left, and the breath she didn't know she'd been holding was released.
"NOW!" Lorelai's yell came from a few feet away.
Rory shook her head in amusement, viewing her mother arguing with Luke like it was a movie. Her eyes left the scene every once in awhile, when Jess came out of the kitchen and was just a few feet away. Then, she couldn't concentrate.
