Chapter 4

Saturday afternoon

"Mom!!! Come quick!!!"

"What? Rory, what happened? Are you OK?"

"The cast list came! OK, breathe, in out.."

"Don't hyperventilate honey! Just calm down. And open it!"

Rory slit open the envelope.

"I would like to thank everyone who tried out- you were all great. Now, here's what you've all been waiting for: The List. Susie: Rory Gil- Ahhhhhhh!!! Mommy! I got it!"

"My little girl's gonna be a actress! Ooo, tell me quick, what part did Franci get?"

"She's - in the chorus! Now that's just too funny! Oh Mom, I have to go tell Miss Patty! She's going to be so happy! I'll meet you at Lukes! Bye!"

Rory ran out of the door.

She's perfect, thought Lorelei. I'm so happy I have her for my daughter.

Rory ran through Stars Hollow, looking for Miss Patty. Finally she found her. "Guess what Miss Patty?"

"Don't tell me darling, let me guess- you got the part."

"How did you know!?"

"I can see it!"

"I have to go- thank you for all you help!"

"Anytime Rory. Anytime."

Rory was going to Luke's, when she remembered she should tell Jess. Over the past month, they'd become friends, talking on the bus, and Lorelei was even starting to like him.

She ran to the gazebo, where she could she him.

"Jess! Jess! Jess! Jess!"

"Rory! Rory! Rory! Rory! What?"

"I got the part!!"

"Really? No way! Let me see the cast list!" He grabbed her wrist, and pulled her down on top of him, and started to tickle her.

"AHH! Stop! I can't breathe!"

"Alright! I'll stop, if you tel me who got Valentine.' " Ok, let me catch my breath! Um, let me see. Valentine White.. Jess Marino. You?" Rory asked, incredulous.

"What, you think you're the only one who can sing?"

"No, I just never thought-" "For that, I must tickled you again!"

Rory tried to roll away, squirming, but Jess was too quick for her. He started tickling her around the waist.

"Stop! Hahaha!" Rory couldn't stop laughing, until she looked into Jess's eyes, sat up and passionately kissed him.

He reacted by not pulling away, but kissing her back, just as passionately.

"Rory? What are you doing?"

Rory looked up and saw- "Dean?"



Hehe! Gotcha! Sorry it's so short, and I think Jess and Lorelei are out of character, but I can't really think of another way to write them. Suggestions? They'll be better next chapter! Review Please!!!!!!
