Chapter 3
It was the next day. Rory and Lorelai finished setting up. Lorelai was wearing a knee-length black dress with straps. Rory had been daring on the other hand. She wore Lorelai's red strapless dress with red see- through long sleeves. The hem of the dress didn't come down to her knees, but close. It was actually shorter than what she usually wore.
"Okay, why did you borrow one of my sexy dresses?" asked Lorelai.
"Are you not comfortable with me wearing it?" asked Rory.
"No, it's just not something you would wear. Usually you would wear something a little longer."
"Well, I just wanted to try something different."
"Did you also wear it because you wanted to impress a certain guest?"
"No. It seemed appropriate for the holiday."
"Okay. Whatever you say."
Dean came down from upstairs. He was wearing a black button down shirt with nice jeans. He had a leather jacket over that.
"Wow," he said. "You look nice."
"Thanks, you too," said Rory.
They spent the entire party together talking non-stop. Rory assumed Dean wouldn't come on the sleigh ride, but she didn't want to miss out so she climbed into a sleigh.
"Just you?" asked the driver.
"I'm coming too," said Dean, walking out of the inn and climbing into the sleigh.
The driver finally cracked his whipped and they were off. Rory looked around. There were Christmas lights everywhere.
"It's kind of magical," Rory said aloud.
"Yeah," said Dean.
"When was the last time you went on a sleigh ride like this?"
"The last time was at the party at the Independence Inn with Clara. Who did you go with that time?"
"Don't get mad."
"I won't."
"First I was going to go alone and then Jess jumped in."
"It figures."
"I'm sorry Dean."
"It's okay. It doesn't really matter now. It was a long time ago."
"I'm glad we got to do this together. Even if we're not going out."
"Yeah, me too."
Finally, they pulled up in front of the inn and they both got out. However, there was a patch of ice where the driver pulled up and Dean slipped and fell.
"Oh, my god!" Rory ran up to him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," said Dean. "Ow."
"What?"
"I think I sprained my ankle."
"Oh, my god. I'll help you. Give me your hand."
"No, it's okay. I can get up on my own."
Dean tried to get up, but the pain was unbearable. Rory held out her hand and Dean took it. She put his arm around her shoulder and helped him inside. Lorelai noticed them immediately.
"What happened?" asked Lorelai.
"I slipped on the ice and sprained my ankle," said Dean.
"I'm going to help him to his room," said Rory.
"You don't have to do that," said Dean.
"I want to," said Rory.
"Okay," said Lorelai. "Rory, you remember where our room is, right?"
"Yeah," said Rory.
"Okay," said Loralie, dropping her voice down to a whisper into Rory's ear. "I'll understand if you want to stay with him.you know.to make sure he's okay."
"Okay," Rory whispered back.
"Oh, yeah and you're an adult now so you can do whatever you want."
"Mom, nothing's going to happen."
"Fine. Whatever you say."
