Well here's my first attempt at a Gilmore Girls' Fic! Literai of course!
With Java Junkie undertones . . . It's set in early season 3, when Shane's
still with Jess and Rory's with Dean
Part 1
Lukes Diner
Lorelai and Rory are sitting at a table, waiting for breakfast
Rory: Have you decided yet?
Lorelai: Hush child, mommy needs her caffeine in what she calls 'coffee' before she can think.
Rory: You are so childish.
Lorelai: Wow! That's done it. My brain has freezed up, it can't function, "Coffee, coffee, coffee"
Rory: Mommmmm
Luke: (to Rory) Whattcha having today?
Rory: Umm.I think I'll go for some pancakes, thankyou.
Luke: Lorelai?
Lorelai: Hark! Is that a voice I hear? (looking at Luke vaguely) Ahhh! It's a giant coffee! Come, let me drink you!
Luke: (to Rory) What did you drug her with today?
Rory: I'm not exactly sure.I think that it was some sort of caffeine depriver tablet.
Lorelai: Coffeeeeeeeee?
The annoying song
Bus stop Rory is waiting for the bus to school. Dean walks over to her.
Rory: Hey
Dean: Hey
Rory: How was camp?
Dean: Frankly, pretty crap.
Rory: Yeah, I heard from Lane that it wasn't that good. But of course it was crap for you since I wasn't there.
Dean: (smiling at her) Of course.
Rory sees Jess and Shane arm in arm
Dean: (noticing) You okay?
Turns around and sees what she's looking at
Dean: I thought we talked about him before
Rory: Dean! Stop it.
Dean: Okay, Okay. Well I have to go; I'll see you this afternoon.
Dean kisses her and looks at Jess smugly
Jess and Shane walk up behind Rory and Shane bumps her with her elbow
Shane: Sorry
Rory looks at her evilly and glances at Jess. As Jess and Shane go, Jess looks over his shoulder at Rory with an unreadable expression
Hotel Kitchen
Sookie has tears in her eyes as she leans over some cakes she is icing. Lorelai walks in, holding a huge envelope
Lorelai: I will never understand why people feel the need to mail a small letter in such a large envelope. Is it to try to impress someone by saying 'hey, I can afford to waste money by buying such an incredibly huge envelope.' (noticing Sookie) Sookie, Are you okay?
Sookie: (voice all high pitched) Of course.
Lorelai: Having tears in your eyes is not what I call okay.
Sookie: It's nothing. Go, it's a long story anyway.
Lorelai: Hey! I have all morning.
Sookie miserably falls down onto a chair, pulling out a tissue from her pocket
Sookie: (tearfully) Well, I was cooking dinner last night when Jackson came in and announced that he had reserved a table at a restaurant and that we were eating out. I told him to cancel the booking since I had already started to make dinner. Then he got all angry and said that we needed a break from my cooking. My cooking! I couldn't believe him. I asked whether my cooking wasn't good enough for him and if so, why didn't the hundreds of people I caterer for complain about it. He just got all worked up and said that he was going to eat out anyway, with or without me.
Lorelai: Oh Honey! Have you spoken to him since?
Sookie: (wiping her eyes) Only 'pass the butter,' at breakfast (breaks down and sobs)
Lorelai: (rubbing her back) Sookie, don't worry about it. I mean everyone has a few scrapes in their marriage, especially when first starting out. Why would they have soap operas if they didn't exist? Go, (gently pushing her up) have a break, some else can handle here.
Sookie leaves tearfully, clutching her tissue in her hand
Friday night, L's parents place Lorelai rings the doorbell. Emily answers it.
Lorelai: Hello. Your weekly annoyances have arrived.
Emily gives a little smile
Rory: Hi grandma.
Emily: Good evening Lorelai (smiling), Rory. Come in.
Lorelai gives Rory a puzzled face as they go in. Emily leads them into the sitting room and they all sit down, after the maid has given them drinks
Emily: Well, how were your weeks?
Lorelai: Oh, I dunno. I think some sex, drugs and rock and roll was in order.
Emily manages a fake smile
Lorelai: Wow! What's wrong with you today?
Emily: What an earth do you mean?
Lorelai: The greeting, the little smiles. When did you forget who I am?
Emily: Don't be silly Loreali (losing a bit of her nice attitude)
Lorelai: I'm serious. Where's the 'Lorelai is an immature, naughty girl with the perfect, angelic child' attitude gone?
Emily: Nothing's gone anywhere. Well maybe someone's going to be coming back a lot more now.
Lorelai: Okay. That's it. I know when you're being secretive. What is it?
Emily: I'm not being secretive. You were the one who told me about you and Christopher.
Rory hangs her head. Lorelai looks a bit resentful
Lorelai: (softer voice) Umm, mom, about that. God, this is hard to say. Well, you know how Chris was at Sookie's wedding, well he got a phone call from Sherry.
Emily: (surprised and pissed) Sherry!
Lorelai: Yeah, umm.(pause) she told Chris that she was pregnant.
Emily: (indignantly) Pregnant!
Lorelai: Ahhh.yeah. And he left to be with her.
Emily stands up, very, very pissed
Rory: Are you alright grandma?
Emily: I'm going to lie down. Tell Richard when he comes down to go ahead and eat without me.
Emily leaves the room Lorelai sighs and falls back onto the cough
Rory: Somehow I don't think that she took that too well.
Lorealai: yeah, as much as Jerry Springer likes normal relationships.
Richard walks in
Richard: Well, well, well. If it isn't two of my favourite, beautiful ladies.
Lorelai: Well this ones a mirage. Take a picture while it lasts (poses).
Richard: Lorelai, I really sometimes wish you would act you're age.
Lorelai: But I'm drinking a maragetta!
Rory: You were doing that when you were my age.
Lorelai: (disgusted expression) I so wasn't; I was drinking beers instead.
Rory: How saintly of you.
Richard: I see that you take pleasure in corrupting Rory's mind Lorelai.
Lorelai: there's nothing like it.
Richard: (ignoring Lorelai) Well I'm famished, shall we eat.
Rory: Sounds good to me!
Lorelai: I better go and see the drama queen.
Lorelai goes upstairs to Emily's bedroom to find her lying down on her bed
Lorelai: There you are.
Emily: Go away Lorelai.
Lorelai: Where's the sugary sweetness thing gone?
Emily: (getting up, distressed) I really don't know how you can stand it.
Lorelai: Stand what exactly?
Emily: Christopher and that woman.
Lorelai: Sherry mom, sherry.
Emily: I mean, just when you and Christopher see some sense and get back together, with promises to Rory about a new future, Chris just has to go and get another woman pregnant.
Lorelai: It isn't Chris's fault mom.
Emily: Whose fault is it then?
Lorelai: You just can't control things like that.
Emily: It should have been you Lorelai. Chris has finally realised that. Don't throw it all away. If you must, make him come back
Lorelai: And leave Sherry like he did to me? Sherry deserves more than that, however shrewd she is. Chris does too.
Emily: Well now I see how much you really care about Rory.
Emily leaves the room, leaving Lorelai sitting and thinking on the bed
Gilmore Residence Lorelai and Rory walk in the front door and take off their coats, bags and scarves
Lorelai: Boy, what an evening.
Rory: (walking into the living room) Tell me about it. I've never seen grandma so angry and upset. Rory and Lorelai sit down on the couch and Lorelai puts the tv on low
Rory: What did she say to you when you went upstairs?
Lorelai: Nothing much. Just the usual 'it should have been you with Chris' thingy.
Rory: Why does grandma feel so strongly about you and dad being together?
Lorelai: I dunno, I guess she's always wanted her daughter to marry and get rid off the past.well try to. But she did say something of actual importance that I wanna ask you about.
Rory: Wow!
Lorelai: Yeah, I know.super freaky.
Rory: Well, shoot.
Lorelai: Okay; Do you think that your dad is treating you badly by getting another woman pregnant and going off to be with her instead of you? And tell the truth.
Rory: I haven't really thought about it. I guess I understand why he's going to be with Sherry because of a responsibility thing but also I am a bit angry about how he's treating you.
Lorelai: I see.
Rory yawns
Rory: I'm going to bed. Don't stay up too late.
Lorelai: Yes mother.
Rory gets up and starts to leave the room
Lorelai: Hey!
Rory turns
Rory: Yes.
Lorelai: Don't worry about Chris and me, It's not your fault or anything.
Rory: I know. Good night.
Rory leaves and goes into her bedroom. She sits down at her dresser and takes of her earrings and her Dean bracelet. She studies the bracelet, thinking and sighs. She then notices a book belonging to Jess that she borrowed and looks up, thinking, with a small secretive smile on her lips.
Street outside Luke's Diner Rory opens the door and stands in the doorway. Luke is at the counter.
Rory: Hey Luke, is Jess in?
Luke: Nup, sorry. The last I saw of him was this morning.
Rory: Any idea of where he could possibly be?
Luke: I dunno. I think he mentioned something about the bridge when he went out.
Rory; Okay, Thanks.
Bridge Jess is sitting down with his legs over the side of the bridge, reading a book. Rory walks over to him.
Rory: Hey.
Jess: Hey
Rory: Book any good?
Jess: Depends whether you like Charles Dickens or not.
Rory: Oh! (reaching into her bag) Here's the book I borrowed.thanks.
Jess: (taking the book coldly) No sweat.
Rory sits down next to jess
Rory: Hows Shane?
Jess: Good.
Rory: (Uncomfortably) Jess.
Jess: (not looking up) Yeah
Rory: What is exactly with her?
Jess: What about her.
Rory: Is she your girlfriend?
Jess: Yes.
Rory: Okay (unsatisfied, pretending not to care)
Jess: What.you jealous? (looking up)
Rory: No.
Jess: Good.
Rory: I just.(gathers up her courage and starts again) I just thought that things would be different between us after.(falls silent).but now you have Shane.
Jess: How is Shane any different to Dean?
Rory: Dean's my boyfriend.
Jess: Shane's my girlfriend.
Rory: Do you even care about her?
Jess: Why would I tell you, it's none of your business.
Rory: Yeah it is.
Jess: Fine, well then do you even care about Dean?
Rory: I love him.
Jess: Yipedoo-dah.
Rory: Jess, I can't betray him.
Jess: (pissed) Well don't come round expecting me to break up with Shane when you're the one with the boyfriend. You can't have the best of two worlds. Stop trying to be a perfectionist, everything has to just right for you.
Rory: I just don't want to hurt Dean.
Jess: Hey, I have no problem with that. You're just like Lorelai; (pointing at her) you won't make up your mind.
Rory: I can't make up my mind. I'm confused, every thought I have just goes horribly swirling and swishing around in my brain and it's like I can't catch the right one.
Jess: (bitterly) Well just hurry up and catch it.
Rory: All I am trying to say is that it's really confusing for me for you to have Shane
Jess: Put up with it. Don't go round saying that you're the victim here, cause I have to put up with you and pretty-boy Dean (goes back to his reading)
Rory: Look at me Jess. Look. Jess looks up
Just tell me whether you like Shane.
Jess: What does it matter to you?
Rory: Just tell me.
Jess: Well I kiss her, don't I and the last I checked, when you kiss someone, it does mean something.
Jess realises the extent of what he just said and goes back to his reading
Rory: You know what I mean.
Jess: Well she's a lot better than waiting around for you to work out what you want.
Rory: You just don't get it, do you. The whole you go out with someone because you care about them just doesn't get through.
Jess: I seriously don't see what the problem is here. You come and say I shouldn't go out with Shane when you're the one with the boyfriend.
Rory: Fine, I'll stay with Dean, who I actually love and you stay with Shane.
Jess: Fine with me.
Rory: Fine!
Jess: Fine!
Rory walks away, angry.
