A/N: Sorry if that last chapter wasn't written that well, but it is the perfect example of what happens when you write when you're really tired, but can't fall asleep. The reviews are greatly appreciated, so please continue with the comments, but do keep in mind this is the first fic that I have written. For Dean fans, sorry, but I'm in anti-dean mode right now.
Puppy Love?
Chapter Seven: Never Again
Tristan: (talks to the detective) Have you heard anything about Dean yet?
Detective: Right now, we have officers searching the location that you described to see if he is indeed still there and to search through the cabin where he held Ms.Gilmore.
Tristan: So, basically, he's still out there right now.
Detective: To put it simply, yes. As far as I know, he has not been taken into custody.
Tristan: (begins to walk away from the detective, he mutters under his breath) How much longer will he be running around?
After his brief conversation with the detective, Tristan went and sat next to Paris who was talking to Lane about everything. The different people in the room sat quietly comforting one another and talking when they were interrupted by the ringing of the detective's cell phone.
Detective: Matthews...Uh huh...You got a location? (everyone's attention is now captured by what the detective is saying) All right. Thank you for calling.
The detective notices all of the people who are staring at him and begins to explain the conversation.
Detective: That was Sheriff Faulk with the Sugarloaf police. He said that they found the cabin that was described by Mr. Mariano, Mr. DuGrey, and Ms. Geller. He then went on to say that while they were searching the perimeter, they encountered Mr. Forester. Mr. Forester was in possession of a rifle at the time of the encounter and would not listen to the demands of the officers to discard his weapon. He was shot and killed.
When they hear this, everyone is relieved to hear that Dean will never be able to hurt Rory again.
Lorelai: I have to tell Rory this...
Emily: Lorelai, let her rest, she needs it. We'll tell her as soon as she wakes up.
Lorelai: I guess you're right. I just can't believe all of this. I mean this time last night, we were playing bagel hockey. In twenty-four hours, my worse nightmare came true and now, it's finally ending.
Emily: I know, we're all shocked at what has happened today, but as you said, it's ending. We need to think of better things now. Remember, in a year from now you will be a grandmother, and me a great-grandmother.
Lorelai: I just can't believe all of the stuff that has happened recently. I mean, first Rory and Jess say that they're having a baby, then it's their acceptance to Yale, next thing I know my daughter's engaged, then Rory's kidnapped and raped by psycho Dean, then I'm talking and hugging my daughter after she's found by her friends and fiancee, and then finally I hear that Dean's dead. It's just so much.
She goes over to Luke and quietly begins to cry again.
~*~ The Next Day ~*~
Rory began to wake up and was wondering if everything that had happened to her the day before was just a dream, but seeing Jess asleep next to her was confirmation that everything she was thinking about had actually happened. She then went over to Jess and kissed his forehead. He began to stir and was soon awake.
Jess: (kisses Rory) Morning.
Rory: Morning.
Jess: I could really get used to waking up next to you.
Rory: Well, you will soon.
The two kiss again and then start to get out of bed and join Lorelai at the kitchen table.
Lorelai: (hugs Rory) Man, I've missed this.
Rory: Me too mom. Me too.
Rory pulls apart from the hug and begins looking around for something to eat.
Rory: Ugh. There's nothing here.
Lorelai: Is there ever anything?
Rory: Point.
Jess: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Lorelai: Luke's!
Jess: And we have lift off!
Lorelai: Shush you! Me need food.
Jess: Yes Ralph Wiggum.
Rory: (joins the conversation) Me fail English? That's unpossible!
They at Rory's impersonation of Ralph and soon find themselves walking to Luke's.
Rory: Food!
Luke: I swear, you get more and more like your mother every day.
Rory: I try.
Lorelai: Awww, thanks.
Luke: So, what do you want?
Rory: Chocolate Chip Pancakes!
Lorelai: Oooh! Sounds good! Make that two.
Luke looks at Jess.
Jess: Same I guess. They've influenced my eating habits.
Luke: All right. Be right back.
The three sat down at a corner table and avoided the looks of the other people in the diner. Everyone knew parts of what happened, but only the ones who were at the Gilmore house knew the whole story.
Rory: I feel like I have three heads.
Lorelai: Technically, only two.
Rory: Hey, the baby's head doesn't count. It's not mine.
Lorelai: Hush! It can hear you!
Jess: (fake cough) psycho
Lorelai: Hey! I heard that. As punishment, I...I won't let you see Rory anymore! No, wait, then she'll get all mopey and I'll get mopey from watching her. Damn, looks like you won't be punished this time.
Luke: Here you go.
Jess: Just in time.
Luke: Babbling again?
Rory and Jess: Yeah
Lorelai: Hey!
Luke: Oh, just eat your pancakes.
The three ate their breakfast and talked, and to anyone who passed the diner and did not know about the previous day's events, they would not know what was hurting those three so much.
Rory: I don't think that I have ever been so full in my whole life.
Lorelai: You're a Gilmore, how can you say that?
Rory: I just realized that my stomach isn't a bottomless pit. Ugh. I don't want to think about food right now.
Jess: That'll be hard since we are in a diner.
Rory: Smart boy.
Jess: Bridge?
Rory: (smiles) Bridge.
Lorelai: Have fun you two. Don't do anything I would. Oh wait, you already have. (smiles)
Rory: Bye mom.
Jess and Rory exit and soon head to the bridge. Jess stiffens when he remembers why he was there the day before.
Rory: (concerned) What's wrong.
Jess: It's just...I came here yesterday when I couldn't stand waiting in the house. I had to get away from the craziness and this was the one spot where I knew that I could think. It was hard sitting here not knowing what was wrong while remembering all of the memories that the bridge holds.
Rory: (biting her lip in an effort to resist crying) I'm so glad that it's over and that you found me. You will never know how much that means to me. I love you.
Jess: I love you too. I always have and I always will.
The two continued to sit in each other's arms and the day soon turned into night.
Jess: (whispers) Rory...I have to tell you something.
Rory: What is it?
Jess: Yesterday, after we fell asleep, the detective was told that they found the cabin and Dean.
Rory: What else?
Jess: There was a confrontation between Dean and some cops...they shot him.
Rory: (she begins to cry) He's gone...I wanted him to go, but I just...I wanted...(she's interrupted by Jess)
Jess: revenge. I know how you feel. I wish I was the one who got to pull the trigger. He deserves what he got for what he did, but I wish that I could have hit him a couple of times before.
Rory: I am so glad that he's gone. It's finally over.
Jess: The only person Dean will be hurting will be in someplace warm...
They chuckle at the thought of Dean being in Hell.
Rory: How did you find out?
Jess: What?
Rory: You said that the detective called after we fell asleep. How did you find out?
Jess: Oh, that. Well, I woke up to the sound of Lorelai pacing around the house and she told me about the call. She told me that she thought it would be best if I told you. Then I went back to sleep and the rest of it you know.
Rory: I'm glad that you were the one who told me.
Jess: I'm glad too.
Rory: Let's go. I'm in the mood for a movie night.
Jess: With junk food?
Rory: Do you have to ask?
Jess: Well, you did say that you didn't want to think about food...
Rory: That was hours ago!
Jess: Of course, I should have known.
The two immediately headed off toward the video store and Rory picked out "Pretty In Pink" and "Some Kind of Wonderful".
Jess: They have the same plot!
Rory: No! "Pretty In Pink" is about a girl who is loved by her friend and falls for a rich guy. "Some Kind of Wonderful" is about a guy who is loved by his friend and falls for a rich girl, but he ends up with his friend!
Jess: (sarcastically) Of course! There's a big difference!
Rory: Oh shut up! Besides, Duckie's great.
Jess: (quotes Duckie from "Pretty In Pink") May I admire you again today?
Rory: Ha! That's proof! You like the movie!
Jess: I give up.
Rory: Yay!
After getting the videos, the two headed to Luke's and ordered dinner to take back to the Gilmore's. While they were waiting for the food, Jess went to Doose's to get junk food since Rory couldn't handle going into Doose's.
Luke: So...
Rory: So...
Luke: Movie night?
Rory: Yup. 80s movie theme tonight.
Luke: They're so bad that they're good.
Rory: Yup. And John Hughes is god.
Luke: Ah. Going with the cheesy teen movies?
Rory: "Pretty In Pink" and "Some Kind of Wonderful".
Luke: Don't they have the same basic plotline?
Rory: Yeah, just don't tell Jess I admitted that.
Jess: Too late.
Rory: Not fair! (turns to Luke) You should have told me.
Luke: I can't read your mind like Lorelai or Jess.
Rory: Ugh. At least you feed me.
Luke: Someone has to.
Jess: Hate to interrupt this, but I haven't eaten since breakfast and neither has Rory, so can we go?
Rory: Yeah. Thanks Luke.
Luke: Have fun.
Rory and Jess leave Luke's and head off toward the Gilmore's house.
Rory: Mom! We're back! We come bearing food and movies!
Lorelai: Yay! Movie night!
Jess: Time warp tonight.
Lorelai: Rocky Horror?
Jess: 80s.
Lorelai: John Hughes movies?
Rory: Duckie time!
Lorelai: Yay! I love John Cryer!
Jess: Overshare.
Lorelai: Oh shush you.
The three sat down in the living room and ate the large amounts of food they had and watched both movies. Of course, Lorelai and Rory provided commentary and recited lines, with occasional help from Jess.
Rory: See, they have plot differences.
Lorelai: Sweetie, the only differences are the genders of the people in the love triangles and in one the friends end up together.
Rory: You're supposed to take my side!
Lorelai: Well, this time it looks like it's 2 against 1.
Rory: No! It's 2 against 2.
Jess: That doesn't count. It didn't for bagel hockey.
Rory: Meanie!
Jess: Aww, you know you love me.
Rory: Know it all.
Lorelai: Well, goodnight. See you two in the morning.
Rory: Night mom.
Jess: Night.
Lorelai: Oh, by the way, don't worry about school until next week at the earliest.
Jess: Well, I should get going...
Rory: NO, stay. Please.
Jess: Well, if you insist.
Rory: That was some fight you put up there.
Jess: I'm weak when it comes to you.
With that, two headed off to Rory's room and fell asleep in each other's arms.
A/N: Well, I'm stuck. I'm probably going to fast forward to graduation in the next chapter. Well, please review, and send in suggestions for what you want to happen in future chapters.
A/N: Sorry if that last chapter wasn't written that well, but it is the perfect example of what happens when you write when you're really tired, but can't fall asleep. The reviews are greatly appreciated, so please continue with the comments, but do keep in mind this is the first fic that I have written. For Dean fans, sorry, but I'm in anti-dean mode right now.
