chapter 4: Mistaken Identity

***

"Oh God, he's cute. In a nerdy, clingy, romantic type of a way,"

Lori said to Rory later that day when they were in Doose's market.

"Dean?" Rory said angrily. She wasn't too pleased that she had

been assigned the task of showing Lori around Stars Hollow. She was

already sick of Lori's flirtatious nature and sexy little walk, and she

was definitely sick of the stares. Sure, everyone had known for several

weeks about Lori, but that didn't stop people from longing to see the

two with their own eyes.

"Lori, I dated Dean for two years," Rory said.

"No wonder you're still a virgin," she replied.

"Hey!"

"It's the truth" Lori said bordly.

"Well its better than being the town slut," Rory spat back.

"Ladies, ladies. Is there a problem here?" Taylor asked, coming

up behind them and putting a hand on each shoulder.

"No. Everything's just fine," Lori answered calmly. Rory just

glared at her.

Miss Patty left her hiding spot the next aisle over and snuck

out the door, wipping her cell phone out and pressing Babbette's number

on speed dial.

"She's here," Miss Patty said into the phone as she hurried

across the street towards Luke's. "They just got into a rude fight at

Doose's. They're heading to Luke's now, I'm assuming. They're two of

a kind I tell you. If you want to see entertainment, hurry over here

and see for yourself. They look exactly-"

"Miss Patty!" Luke said sternly pointing to the no cell phone

sign behind the counter.

"Just get here now," she said quickly, hanging up the phone. Luke

was shooting her dirty looks. He knew he couldn't stop the gossip, but

he wouldn't tolerate it in his diner. Especially if it was hurtful to

Rory. He knew this whole thing wasn't easy for her.

The bell on the door jingled and in walked the girls. Everyone

stopped to stare at them as Rory lead her sister to the counter, plopping

down on a stool.

"One coffee and a coke," Rory said half hartedly.

"Not a coffee addict Lori?" Luke asked, immediately pouring Rory's

coffee without putting up his usual fight.

"Stains your teeth," she replied, flashing her perfect, white

smile.

Rory sighed. She had about a dozen things to say back to Lori, but

she bit her tongue. Less than an hour together and Rory was already

sick of having to constantly defend herself.

"Where's the Little Girl's Room?" Lori asked.

Luke pointed up the stairs towards his apartment.

"Want me to show you?" Rory offered kindly.

"God, I'm not like, three years old," Lori replied sharply,

tossing her highlighted hair in the way only popular girls do.

Rory put her head down on the counter.

Luke watched Lori climb the stairs, her butterfly thong peeking

way up over her pants.

"Um, can't you ask her to pull up her pants or something?" Luke

asked.

"Tried that years ago," Rory mumbled, her head still resting

on the counter pathetically.

*****

Upstairs, Jess was lying on his bed reading a book, trying to

squeeze as much reading as he could into his fifteen minute break. He

was so caught up in the story, he didn't even look up when Lori walked

into the room, assuming it was Rory.

Lori, however, noticed Jess immediately, liking what she saw.

Bad boy, head to toe, with the exception of the book in his hand. But

she could change that. She smiled to herself, and walked over to the bed

sitting down next to him.

"Hey," he said, sitting up to kiss her, his eyes glued to his

book until the last possible second, trying to finish his paragraph.

But in that fraction of an instant before he closed his eyes and

met her lips, Jess jumped back.

"SHIT!" he yelled loudly, his book flying clear across the room.

"Lori, right? What the hell are you doing up here?"

Rory and Luke burst through the door, responding to the noise

coming from the apartment.

"What the hell's going on up here?" Luke yelled.

"I thought she was Rory!" Jess yelled back, crossing the room

to be by Rory's side.

Rory sighed and looked at her sister. "God Lori. You can't even

keep your hands to yourself for five minutes can you? He's my boyfriend,

Lori. God. I can't believe you."

"Oops," Lori replied, her lips pouty and her eyes trying to catch

Jess' attention. She didn't look the least bit sorry. "Boyfriend? Little

sister, you deserve much more credit than I thought. Quite a step up

from grocer boy there." Lori got off the bed and walked downstairs, leaving

the three staring after her.

"I'm sorry," Jess said.

"Don't be. You didn't do anything. This is good. Now I know I need

to keep her on a leash," Rory said, feeling more like her old, reasonable

self again.

"Make it a short one," Luke said. "And tell her to pull up her

pants!"
