Magical

In this Lorelai and Rory's POV's will happen at the same time but I cant write it like that so here it is:

Rory's POV-

I pulled on a green t-shirt and put on some jeans. Nothing special. We were just going to get sweaty, jumping up and down and I was trying to impress no one, so simple is good. I looked myself over again in the mirror and I looked half way decent. I left my hair down. 'It'll get gross but I'll just take a shower when I get home.' I thought. The radio was still on and Simple Plan was on. 'That's better then stupid Lindsay Lohan.' I thought.

"....This is who I am and this is what I like. GC, Sum and Blink and MxPx rocking my room...." I sung along until I heard the door slam. I jumped.

"Oh, God. Oh, God." I whispered to myself. I grabbed a high heeled shoe. It would be my only defense against whoever was in the house. I walked out of my room and bumped into someone. I screamed.

"Rory? Are you okay?" Jess asked.

"Jess. It's just Jess." I said out loud.

"Yes. It's me." he laughed.

"Oh, my God." I hugged Jess.

"You feeling okay?"

I let go. "Yeah. I thought you were Dean." As fast as the words tumbled out of my mouth, that's how long it took Jess to switch from happy to protective mode. I could tell because his eyes flickered and his jaw and fists clenched.

"Why would Dean be here?" he asked, obviously trying to stay calm.

"Oh. Uh, no reason." I tried to smile but it didnt work. I walked past him to get my coat.

"No. Rory I know you're lying." he said and faced me.

"How? Did I do the blinky thing? I always do the blinky thing." I said and put my coat on.

"Stop. Why would Dean be here?" he asked again. He still sounded calm.

"No reason. We should go. Lane and Robbie are waiting for us." I opened the door and walked outside.

"I'll let it go now but when we come home, you're telling." he followed.

"Fine. Let's just go." I said and hopped in the car.

"Are you okay?" Jess asked quietly as I pulled up infront of Lane's house.

"I'm fine. It's just been a long day." I sighed and Lane and Robbie, as if right on cue, came over to the car and hopped in.

"You okay? You look bad." Lane said.

"Gee, thanks." I said and pulled the car away from her house.

"You know what I mean. What's wrong?" she persisted.

"Nothing. Nothing's wrong. Life is wonderful. I love it. The birds are chirping." I said, sarcasticly.

"You can't get it out of her. I tried and failed. It's a lost cause." We rode the rest of the ride in silence, apart from Lane's directions. We got out of the car when we got there.

"Can I talk to you for a sec?" Robbie pulled me aside as soon as we got inside.

"Yeah, we'll go get drinks." Lane said and grabbed Jess' hand. She led him in the direction of bevrages.

"I wanna know what's wrong. I wanna know now. I'm not Lane or Jess. I won't accept nothing as an answer." he said. We sat down at this little table we found.

"It's something. But, I dont wanna talk about it now. I'll tell all of you when we go home. I just wanna forget everything now." I said.

He sighed. "Fine. The minute we walk into your house, you're spilling. Got it, Ice?" he said.

"Promise." I smiled. Jess and Lane came back, both holding 2 drinks.

"Here you go. Soda for a princess." Jess said and sat down and handed me my soda.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"And here's yours." Lane gave him the cup also. He took a sip.

"So, this is the band?" Robbie asked.

"Yes. Let's jam." Lane got up and we did as instructed; we jammed.

Lorelai's POV-

The diner was deserted. No one was there. I watched Luke flip the 'Open' sign to 'Closed'.

"Jess sure was being nice tonight. What did you bribe him with?" I asked.

"I told him I'd keep you away from him." he smiled.

"Nice. So, uh, do you think I could stay here tonight?" I asked softly.

Luke looked like a deer caught in head lights.

"We dont have to DO anything. I just dont wanna go home to an empty house. I promise, I'll be a good girl and not do anything naughty." I said and raised my right hand.

"It's not you I'm worried about." he muttered, but I heard him perfectly.

"Why are you worried at all?" I asked.

"I cant control myself when I'm with you."

"You dont need to. I can handle you and anything you throw my way. Okay, probably not now, with Sammy." I said.

"Sammy?" he stopped wiping the counter and looked at me.

"My cast?" I gestured towards Sammy. He nodded. "But after that, don't think you have to censor yourself. Luke, you love me, annoying quirks and all. And I love you too. Just do what you think is right." I smiled up at him, from my coffee. He smiled and started wiping the counter again.

"Thank you. Reassuring. I will." he said.

"You will what?" I asked.

"Do what I think is right." he said.

"Duh. How special Ed am I?" I laughed. "You always do what's right. You always help me when I need it. And Rory too."

"When do I help Rory?" he stopped wiping again.

"When have you not? You're like a dad to that kid. I'm greatful." I looked into his eyes and smiled.

"It's nothing big. Rory's an amazing kid. You should be proud." he said.

I smiled. "I know. I never get tired of hearing that."

"So," Luke paused. "You're staying?" I saw a hopeful glint in his eyes.

"Yeah. I'm staying." I pulled out my cellphone to call Rory. I punched in Rory's cell number and she answered.

"Hello?" she said. There was loud rock music in the background.

"You went to a concert and didn't invite me?" I asked.

"Yeah. It's this little band in Woodburry. They're kinda cool. So, did you want something?" she asked.

"Uh, yeah. Would I be able to trust you and Jess alone for a night?" I asked, hopefully.

"I guess, sure. Why?" I heard the music lessen, so I figured that she went to a room or something.

"Because I'm staying at Luke's tonight. So, are you sure? I can come home."

"No, that's okay. I'll have Lane and Robbie stay too. Will that make you feel better?"

"Actully, yes. Now, remember have a party and trash the house."

"I'll get right on it when I get home. See you tomarrow."

"Bye, sweetie." I hung up and sighed.

"So, Jess is staying there?" Luke asked.

"Yes, he is."

"And you're staying here?" Luke asked.

"Yes, I am." I smiled and Luke kissed me.

Okay- I know. Tht was a short chptr. Sry. But there was nothing more to do there. Okay, well, as always, your reviews are appecicated. Seeyaz
