Author's Note: We finally have a title. But wait. You should already
know that. Because. Well. You know. Well. Well. Well. Well. I think
that you know what we're talking about. So. What happens in this chap?
Well. If you DID read our previous chaps, you would know. Actually, we're
just messing with your minds. We have no title, so PLEASE SUBMIT
MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, this
is really important, so listen up. We made a bunch of mistakes that we
need to fix. First of all, Rory and Tris's wedding was in May, not
September. Second, Dean was not visiting his new girlfriend, because
obviously he's already married and has been in Stars Hollow the whole time,
they just haven't run into him. Third, Jess was NOT at the surprise party,
because for plot-related reasons that you will see in this chapter, he
needs to have not yet met Maria.
Chapter 18: Cake and Candy
"You look fine. Don't worry," Rory was pinning Lane's hair into a bun using a hairagami (A/N: DON'T THOSE THINGS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
"Are you sure?" Lane said, looking worried.
"Yes. I'm sure."
"You had better be right. I mean, it is my big day. Probably the biggest."
"I know. Lane. I can't believe that your mom let you do this."
"Well…"
"You didn't tell her, did you," Rory accused.
"Well, no. I mean she knew that Henry and I are engaged. But she went to Korea last month before I could tell her. And, if I call her now. It will be one in the morning, or something."
"Ok. But I'm NOT telling her when she comes back. It HAS to be you."
"Ok. I get it. Is it done yet?"
"Yeah. You look great."
Lane was wearing a nice white dress. Not quite as fancy as Rory's had been, but it was nice. She was wearing her contact lenses. Rory had been fixing her hair into a bun.
It was early, Friday morning. There had been a frost and the whole town was white. Lane was nervous. She kept twitching. She was mouthing the words to The Beatles's "The Ballad of John and Yoko", which was playing on the radio. The song stopped when Lorelai came in and turned it off.
"Hey!" Lane snapped. "I was listening to that."
"So? Ror, are you almost done? Cause the sooner we get this done, the sooner Luke can get back to the diner and make sure Jess isn't breaking the windows while he tries to scrape ice off them."
The ceremony seemed to last a second. Literally. Lane and Henry were so board that the parson just skipped to the main part. However, the wedding cake afterwards was REALLY good.
(A/N: we did that because we REALLY didn't feel like writing another ceremony scene!)
~*&*~*&*~*&*&*~*&*~*&*~
Meanwhile, back at the diner, Jess was scraping off the windows. Maria walked up to the diner, but Jess didn't turn around to look at her.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Just scraping widows," Jess replied. By her voice, he assumed she was Rory.
"Oh. So, what are you doing?"
"Just scraping widows, and if you intend to ask me one question over and over…"
Jess turned around and saw Maria. He stopped talking right after that. His face slowly turned crimson. Maria couldn't tell if he was blushing or if Jess was just cold. In truth, it was both. (A/N: We are now going to stray from our usual writing style in order to write a really sappy and detailed description of Maria and Jess' reaction when he sees her.) Standing before him was a beautiful woman. He had never met her before, yet he was in love with her. In love with her pale yet rosy complexion. In love with her crimson hair that fell softly in wisps about halfway down her neck. She stood there, tall, thin, and breathtaking.
(A/N: We are considering not saying this, because if you have an average mind, this may have never occurred to you. However, it kinda occurred to us and we wanted to clear it up. Just because we write like this doesn't mean we personally are in love with girls, because in fact, we aren't in love with anyone, we have no personal interest in the opposite sex. It just means we are very good writers and are able to see Maria from Jess' point of view. Of course, it does help that Maria is a real person and we have met her ourselves, so we can describe in extreme detail what she looks like. Oh, BTW, Maria actually is pretty short. We'll shut up now. )
"I don't believe we've met," said Maria, a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye.
"No," managed Jess finally. "I don't believe so. I'm Jess Mariano, Luke Danes' nephew. I work here at the diner."
"Oh, I know Luke quite well. I'm Christopher's teacher, and a good friend of Rory's. Maria Sassani, call me Maria, pleased to meet you." She held out her hand and Jess shook it.
Jess and Maria talked for awhile, and then Maria left, and Jess finished up the windows.

"Chris, honey. Tristan and Rory are here. Do you want to go with them or with me and Daddy?" Lorelai called to Chris through the door of his room.
"Tristan," Christopher said, without thinking.
"Ok."
"Ready. Chris said as he came out of his room.
He was dressed as a little coffee mug. For the mug, he wore painted cardboard. There was a pillowcase that sewn inside to hold the candy. Inside of the "mug" he was filled with brown tissue paper. And for foam on top, he had bubble wrap painted white.
"You look great." Rory exclaimed.
"Come on. We've got to get done before seven so that you can get to bed.
~*&*~*&*~*&*&*~*&*~*&*~
"Ok, Lorelai. It was great to have him."
"Thanks. BYE!!!!!!!" Lorelai called.
"Well, that was fun." Rory said. Tristan nodded.
They walked in silence. They saw many costumes. MANY. MANy. MAny. Many.
~*&*~*&*~*&*&*~*&*~*&*~
OK. That's it. We loved having you. We know it was an odd ending. Please R/R. Please take the closest exit and… do not trample anybody when you are in line for autographs.
