Part Two
Disclaimer: I do not own Louise, Dean or Gypsy. I'll go further to say I am not
affiliated in any way a'tall to Gilmore Girls.
A/N: Major thanks to the Fan Forum GG Fan Fic Discussion posters, who let me try our all my weird couple ideas on them. ;) Oh, of course, for Nate, who was the entire inspiration behind this insane idea.

It had taken twenty minutes to get to Gypsy's, get the necessary materials and then to get back to Louise's car. It would have taken fifteen but she had a slight memory lapse when it came to the exact location to where her car was. She blamed the entire ordeal on her shoes.
So now Dean was under the hood of her car as she sat on the conveyance between the two seats, her shoes discarded in the passenger seat. Her poor right foot that had suffered, at her count thus far, five blisters and a cut from a stone that had found its way into her shoe somehow. Louise was trying to make her foot feel better by applying some nail polish.
"I give up," Dean said suddenly, his voice slightly muffled by the hood and glass between them. "What color is this car?"
"Raspberry Rain," She replied without looking up from her task.
"Raspberry Rain?" Dean asked, peering over the side of the hood to look at her strangely. "Is that one of your rich kids color."
Louise shrugged her shoulders and held up her container of nail polish. "I find it to be rather common."
"Your nail polish matches your car?" He asked in disbelief. "It's a side effect from wearing all those plaid uniforms, right?"
"No," Louise said, leaning forward as he disappeared beneath the hood again, and peered at him through the crack. "I just happen to love the color."
"I think I'll stick with the simpler colors. Green. Blue."
"Of course, you're a simple kind of guy," Louise said as she finished up her pinkie toe and moved onto the next foot.
"That almost doesn't sound insulting."
"Would you rather be brooding and complicated?" Louise asked him, scrunching her nose up as the brush hit some of her toe. She'd have to fix that later.
"Well apparently that's what all the girls are into these days."
Louise lifted an eyebrow, "Oh, Rory left you for another man."
Dean stepped away from the hood, and into her view. "Hey- do you want your car fixed or not?"
She rolled her eyes upward before looking at him. "Jeez sorry." He went back to fixing the car. "I don't like them brooding and complicated."
"Yeah?"
"I like them fun," She spoke aloud. "Brooding and complicated is too much work."
"If only there were more girls like you in the world."
Louise winked, even though she knew
Dean couldn't see her. It was habit, after all. "You're not the first to tell
me that."
"So you're a fun girl?"
"I resent that," She told him, setting aside her nail polish. "I prefer fun and complicated."
"Complicated how?"
"Well if I told you, then I wouldn't be complicated now, would I?"
Dean grunted, suddenly agreeing with her claim.
"Are you around from Moon Haven?"
"Stars Hollow," Dean automatically corrected her. "No, Chicago."
"The Windy City," Louise mocked.
"Been there, done that."
"Not impressed with it, huh?"
"It's kind of hard to be impressed with anything in America once you've seen the Eiffel Tower or the Moulin Rouge."
"I never thought of the Moulin Rouge as an international landmark."
"Bet you didn't think of the Moulin Rouge as existent until the movie debuted."
"Bet you I care about it then as much as I do now."
Louise hmmphed and began going through her purse while Dean continued on with the car.
"That should get it started enough to get to Gypsy's," Dean said after a few more minutes later before he closed the hood.
"Great." Louise replied, though with a dry tone so he doubted she meant it as she pulled her shoes back on and retightened them.
He hesitated for a moment, he really
shouldn't ask. Like, really really shouldn't. But hell, her feet looked so
damaged all ready… "Look, do you want me to give you a ride back?"
"On what? Your back?"
Dean rolled his eyes, not sure if
she was serious or not. It seemed like you could never tell whether or not she
meant what she had because of the calm tone of her voice. "No, with my driving
your car."
"Like hell," Louise glared at him. "No one drives him but me."
He looked down at her feet. "Well he is going to do hurt you if you drive him in those."
"How do I know you won't drive me out into your Faery Forest and leave me there for the Faeries to eat?" She asked. "Sacrifice me in the center of your little Faery circle?"
Why did she have to be so damned aggravating? Too bad about that too, because she was beautiful, but in an ice sculpture kind of way. Cold and untouchable. "Well I haven't killed you yet, now have I?" Oh, but he was getting close to it.
And of course, Louise had a comeback for that. "Maybe you were just waiting."
"The town's quirky, not homicidal."
Louise dwelled on it for a second, "Fine." She reluctantly handed him the keys and slid over into the passenger seat. "But if you hurt him, I will make you pay."
Dean took a calming breath before getting into the driver's seat. Aye, between her looks and her personality- she was a maddening creature, indeed.
