hi all, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving (and to all my jewish friends,
happy chanuka-I love latkas. I made a giant one, I sware it was like the
godzillia of latkas. My grandmother was not amused, especially when I
refused to eat it). Thanksgiving was great. Every year, I cook a full 3
corse dinner from scrach for all my friends and anyone else who has no
where to go for the holiday. I do it the day after though, I eat with my
family on thurday....too much food,although I fared far better then Eugene
who joined my family on thursday and of course, was there on friday. I
also created a great concept for thanksgiving in Stars Hollow...
ok, I wanted to address this. I wanted to post this story in real time. Like, my GG Halloween chaps would be posted around Halloween, and so on and so forth, but that's not gonna happen. My halloween chaps are probably gonna be posted around New Years-if I'm lucky. I'm majorly blocked right now, and really behind, so I'm asking you all to bare with me. I'm having a really really hard time dealing with actual life right now, but I am doing my best. Have no doubt that I know exactly what I'm writing, but I'm ahead of myself, so writing the beginning is hard when I'm thinking way ahead.
I wanted to give a special thanks for D-beaux. Dana is my fav editor. She is the only content editor I can work with, and she's really really good. She was gone for a while but came back, and I just wanted to take the time out to publicly thank her and say how much I love and appreciate her and her honesty, not to mention her friendship.
(oh and thanks to Aly, who puts up with my endless insanity, and doesn't yell at me when I spend 20min deciding what sounds better, "jackass" or "asshole")
r/r please, and enjoy
CHAPTER FOUR
Bree looked up from her half-finished breakfast and noticed Taylor staring pointedly at a spot two feet to the right of her head.
"Taylor," she began, in a too-sweet voice, "I'm not finished; and I know you're a very busy man, so for you to sit here and wait for me is ridiculous. Besides, I don't really have the answers you're looking for right now. So, how about you go to work and do the things that you do; and when I know the answers to the questions that are none of your business, I'll come find you. How's that?" She smiled slightly and raised her eyebrows, daring Taylor to argue.
Taylor threw a few bills down on the table to cover his check and then left without another word. Luke just stared in amazement.
"Bree, ready to go?" Jess asked, replacing the coffeepot and heading into the back to wash his hands.
"Sure." She pushed the half-eaten plate away from her and made a move to stand.
"I thought you told Taylor you weren't finished?" Luke said, bussing the discarded dishes.
"Huh?" Bree looked momentarily confused. "Oh, *that*. I was done a half hour ago," she said, with a laugh.
"Bree?" Jess called, reappearing from the back. He tilted his head towards the door to indicate his intention.
"Later," she told Luke, hopping off the stool to follow Jess out the door.
"Wait," Luke called. "Where are you going?"
"Out," Bree tossed over her shoulder. The door swung shut behind her.
***
Lorelai pushed open the door of the diner and walked towards the counter where Luke was standing.
"I'm hearing rumors," she announced dramatically, sitting down at the counter and motioning for Luke to come over.
"This is Star's Hollow. There are *always* rumors," Luke replied flatly, ignoring Lorelai's drama and continued wiping down the countertops.
"But this you might be interested in...." Lorelai let her voice trail off.
Luke looked up at her for the first time since she entered. "Oh, yeah?" he asked, with a hint of interest.
"It's about Jess."
"Aw,jeez. He just left. What did he do.give Taylor a Mohawk?" Luke threw down his rag in exasperation and made to go fetch his delinquent nephew.
"He's been gone 5 minutes! How long does it take to shave someone's head?"
Lorelai giggled. "Taylor with a Mohawk? No, but that *would* be interesting. Of all the things Jess could do, why would you assume he would give Taylor a Mohawk?"
"He bought a few cans of shaving cream the other day. He said it was a two- for-one sale, but with him, you never know...."
"Maybe he's stocking up for Halloween?" Lorelai suggested.
"Oh god, Jess, Stars Hollow, and Halloween in one sentence, I think my brain just exploded a little"
"Anyway, It's not what he did, but rather who he's with." Lorelai wasn't about to give up her game. Luke's reactions to her teasing were just so much *fun*...
"Oh, you mean Bree," Luke's face relaxed in relief.
"So you know?" she asked, disappointed "Ruin all my fun, why don'cha?"
"Sorry. Yeah, I saw her this morning," Luke said, pouring her cup of coffee.
"You did?" Lorelai blinked in surprise. Luke seemed far too calm for having seen Jess with Bree, in her opinion.
"Yeah, she pulled a number on Taylor," Luke said, with a tinge of awe in his voice.
"What did she do?" Lorelai was genuinely curious; this was just more gossip...but she got to know it first.
"I'm not really sure. It's a logic that makes no sense, but you can't exactly argue with it. Kinda like what you do."
"Oh, ok. Do you think it's a good idea?" she asked, taking a sip of the coffee Luke had placed in front of her.
"What? Jess spending time with one of his best friends? I think it's great," Luke replied genuinely.
"Yeah...sure, great," Lorelai said, unconvinced. Bree seemed like trouble; and now that Jess was with Rory, whatever trouble Jess got in affected her daughter.
"Lorelai, we went through this the last time she was here and ended up making a really bad mistake," Luke reminded her.
"I know."
"She and Dom were a huge part of his life, pre-Stars Hollow. I'm glad he's reconnected with them." Luke's voice wavered somewhere between a lecture for Lorelai and trying to convince himself. He had his reservations about Jess and Bree. He could see that Jess cared about her a lot. He cared about his nephew; but he also cared about Rory, and didn't want to see her hurt. Jess had told him that he and Bree were over, but there was something in the way Jess looked at her that made him think that it wasn't necessarily the case. Regardless, it was Jess' personal life and wasn't any of his business.
Liz had warned him against Bree, and while she hadn't - yet - done anything that Luke could tell would be a bad influence, he was still on guard. Jess was his responsibility and keeping him out of trouble was his main goal right now. Luke had seen how Jess reacted at the possibility of not being allowed to see Bree the last time his friends were here,and now that he and Jess had formed some sort of understanding, he didn't want to risk alienating him again. But of course, he didn't tell Lorelai that.
"He's not getting into trouble, and he seems happy."
"I guess..." Lorelai mumbled, downing the rest of her coffee.
***
"So, what have you been doing with yourself this past month?" Bree asked as she and Jess walked through town.
"Nothing much. Working, summer school, hanging with Rory..." Jess trailed off. He wasn't exactly sure how much he should be saying. On one hand, Bree was someone that he could always be honest with. But on the other hand, she was so much more then a friend and things had changed. He just wasn't sure what the rules were now.
"Yeah? You and Rory?" Bree said casually.
"Yeah." Jess was noncommittal.
"Hey, that's great," Bree replied, genuinely happy for Jess. "I don't really know her, but she seems sweet."
"She is."
"...And smart."
"She's that too," Jess said, wondering where Bree was going with this.
"Very...considerate."
"Yes," he confirmed, growing ever more suspicious. Bree wasn't usually so soft-spoken.
"Understated," Bree continued.
"Bree," he warned. She needed to get to the point.
Bree laughed. "I'm sorry, she just seems so...innocent."
"Compared to what? You?" He poked her in the side.
Bree shrugged, knowing Jess was just teasing.
"Bree," Jess said, assuming a lecturing manner, "*Heidi Fleiss* is innocent compared to you."
"Shut up," she commanded, slapping his shoulder.
"See what I mean?" Jess laughed.
"Ass wipe," Bree shot back, sticking out her tongue.
"Potty mouth!" He feigned horror.
"Fuck off."
"Oh, my virgin ears!" Jess cried, laughing and covering his ears dramatically. "You are a bad influence, Bree Richardson."
***
"Hey, Mom," Rory called, entering the diner a little while after her mother had made her grand appearance.
"Hi, honey," Lorelai replied, spinning the stool around so she could face her daughter.
Rory's entrance had caught Luke's attention and he brought the coffeepot over to where the two Gilmores sat. "Coffee?" he offered.
"Always," she replied. "So, where are Jess and Bree?" she asked, trying to sound casually interested.
"Oh, so you heard," Lorelai sounded slightly surprised...and concerned.
"This is Stars Hollow," Rory said matter-of-factly, then turned her attention back to Luke. "So, are they here? I wanna say hi."
"No, they left a little while ago. They're probably just walking around town. I'm sure you could find them if you want, it shouldn't be that hard," Luke supplied, picking up the orders Caesar had placed in the window and going to serve them.
"Yeah, just follow the path of drooling men and carnage," Lorelai inserted, a little sourly.
"Mom..."
"I'm just kidding!" Lorelai cut Rory off before her daughter could continue her lecture. "So, you're okay with this?"
"With what? Bree coming to visit? Why wouldn't I be?" Rory tried to act surprised at her mother's insinuation; but truth be known, she wasn't really sure about the whole situation.
"Well...you and Jess are together.or, kinda together," Lorelai said, trying to choose her words carefully. "I mean, after last night...."
"I'd go with the first one," Rory cut in.
"Well, Bree is his ex..." Lorelai wasn't quite ready to give this one up.
"First," Rory said, holding up one finger, "they were never really together. Second," she held up a second finger, "She's his best friend, and third she lives in New York. I have no problems with her," she finished, dropping her hands onto the counter.
"Ahhh, now I understand. She's not a problem because she's just temporary."
Rory simply drank her coffee.
"I've got me a smart daughter," Lorelai announced, taking Rory's silence to mean that her assumption was correct.
"She's always been nice to me. She even encouraged me to give it a try with Jess. I pick my battles, and this one isn't worth fighting," Rory finished with certainty.
***
"Jess, this place is insane," Bree said as they walked past the giant slinky. She glanced back to see that there were still a few people following them at a distance. Someone had been behind them the entire time they'd been walking through town.
"I know," Jess responded casually. He knew Bree was referring to the slinky and the stalker, but to him, both were old news.
"I'm not talking about 'Halloween in the Village' crazy," Bree continued.
"This is hands down, men in white coats, candy land insane.'"
"I know." They continued to walk through the town together.
"I miss this," Jess said after a moment.
"Miss what?"
"*This*."
"Jess, we're walking around making fun of people," Bree informed him.
"I know," his voice was almost wistful.
"I miss this too. Dom's too nice, he got all mad last week when I told some girl she looked like a retarded poodle.' Bree laughed lightly at the memory.
Jess joined in her laughter. "Margaret?"
"Her little sister."
"Oh, my God, they're multiplying?" he exclaimed in horror. "We have to stop these people from breeding."
"I know," Bree concurred, "I told Dom we should put something in the water , but he just got madder...so I bought him a cookie."
"Yeah, he's annoyingly nice sometimes. Then other times he's a bigger asshole than I am."
"Aww, Jess," Bree mocked, turning to face him, "No one's a bigger asshole then you."
"Yeah, well..." Jess mumbled, feigning humility. They both laughed at their own jokes, then Jess sobered.
"You know, I wish you guys were around more often. It would make living here more bearable. Even, dare I say it, fun."
"Do you mean that?" she asked, sitting on a bench and pulling Jess down with her.
He just looked at her in confusion.
"Would you want us here on a day to day basis?" she clarified.
"Bree...?" Jess questioned, not sure of where she was really going with this.
"Would you want that, yes or no?" she asked again, with a hint of aggravation.
"Yes," he finally answered.
"Done."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me," she told him, getting up to continue their walk.
"Are you *serious*?" he asked again, grabbing her arm so she had to stop and face him.
"Aren't I always?" Bree teased.
"No."
"Well, I am this time. If you want us here, then we're here." she quipped, shrugging out of his grip and continuing to walk away.
"That would be...I mean..." Jess was too ecstatic at the idea to get out a full sentence. "Wait, what about Dom?" he questioned, coming up to her side.
"What about him?" Bree was being completely casual about the whole thing.
"He loves New York. I mean, he didn't leave when his parents left, he's not going to leave now." Jess' excitement was waning as he realized all the complications of getting his two closest friends from New York to Stars Hollow.
"This was his idea," she informed him, with a wicked smile. They had stopped in front of the gazebo.
"Right," he replied skeptically. "Like filling Sty's pool with sand was his idea."
Bree just stood there smiling at him with a 'what are you trying to insinuate?' smile.
"You're not kidding, are you?' He was beginning to get excited again.
"Dom's packing our stuff as we speak."
"No," Jess said decisively.
"No?"
"I'm not going to be the reason you guys move from New York, to this town that is so small, people clap when the train goes by."
"Jess..." Bree began, "You know the deal; you go down, we all go with. Solidarity baby"
"Bree..."
"It's happening hun, if you want it to."
"Wow, so you and Dom are moving to Stars Hollow." Jess was still getting used to the idea. "So many people are not going to be happy about this."
"Are you?"
"Of course."
"Then what do I care about other people? I never gave two shits about what other people thought about me before; why should I care what the residents of Hicksville, USA think?"
"You shouldn't," Jess said resolutely.
"So, then it's settled." Bree started walking again, Jess by her side.
"You and Dom are moving to Stars Hollow."
"Yup."
"Huh, just think of the possibilities."
Next time......
"So, Bree," Lorelai turned to her as she sat down at the counter. "Jess told us the good news."
"Britney Spears was killed in a brutal attack by a mob with good taste?" Bree smirked.
"No, about you and Dom moving to Stars Hollow."
"Ah, that. Well, he and I decided that we couldn't live another day without a good ol'fashioned ho down so.."
(oh do you guys like the previews? 'cause they aren't easy to pick, but if you guys like them I'll keep doing it)
ok, I wanted to address this. I wanted to post this story in real time. Like, my GG Halloween chaps would be posted around Halloween, and so on and so forth, but that's not gonna happen. My halloween chaps are probably gonna be posted around New Years-if I'm lucky. I'm majorly blocked right now, and really behind, so I'm asking you all to bare with me.
