A/N: I'm sorry for the inappropriate things I put in the last chapter (if
those of you are disgusted). I wasn't thinking (and I've been watching too
many episodes of Friends and in every episode the talk about sex and I
should really stop watching that and start watching more Gilmore Girls
because Gilmore Girls doesn't decontaminate my brain). I'll try to tone
down the sexual stuff.
Chapter 8: Birthday Blues
Rory avoided Dean for the past two weeks even though she knew there was nothing going on between him and that girl. She didn't want to do anything stupid around him (e.g. destroy his relationships).
She avoided going on the fire escape. She went on one morning, thinking Dean was at work, but he was still home. She heard the radio in his apartment. She listened closely and heard someone singing along to the song. It was Dean. She had never heard him sing before and it was a nice sound. It wasn't perfect, but it was great. Then she looked in the window and he wasn't wearing a shirt. Rory quickly went inside her apartment. She didn't want to become a peeping Tom so she vowed never to go on the balcony when she didn't know he was at work.
Now it was her birthday and it couldn't have been worse. The night before she had come to the realization that she was alone in the city. She had no friends and her mother was over 200 miles away. Only the ones in Stars Hollow and she started to regret moving to New York.
Dean knew it was her birthday. Ever since they were together he had kept that date circled. Now he knew it well. He wanted to tell her on her birthday, but he wanted to tell her out on the fire escape. But, she hadn't been there in a while. He had gotten ride of the old one because it was corny. He got another medallion with her initials engraved in it and then put leather straps on it. It was, yet again, like the one he had given her on her sixteenth birthday before they were together. He was going to give her the bracelet, but he wasn't sure whether or not her was going to confess his love.
As he left for work that morning he had his plans all worked out. He just needed Rory to be on the fire escape. He bumped into Lorelai in the lobby.
"Lorelai, thank god I ran into you," said Dean.
"Hey," said Lorelai. "What can I do for you?"
"I know you said that Rory and I should settle our own issues, but I need your help with this one," said Dean. "We usually hang out on the fire escape outside our windows, but lately she hasn't been out."
"Yeah," said Lorelai. "She said on the phone that she didn't want to be a peeping Tom."
"I just need you to get her to go out there tonight. I have something planned and if I tell her, then it kind of wrecks the whole thing. Please do this one thing for me and I'll do whatever you want."
"Dance around in a dress."
"What?"
"You said if I do this you'll do whatever I want. I want you to dance in a dress."
"Dance in a dress?"
"And say 'Lorelai's the queen! Lorelai's the queen!'"
"I don't think I can-"
"Relax. I was kidding. I'll talk to her you don't have to do anything."
"Thanks."
"But, I want you to do one thing."
"What?"
"Don't hurt her."
"I won't. I remember your threat before."
"And it still stands."
"I know. Thank you."
LATER
Rory was ecstatic when her mother came to her door. She and her mother went out for lunch. While walking home, they both decided to take a carriage ride just for the heck of it.
"Honey, I think you should go on the fire escape," said Lorelai.
"Why?" asked Rory.
"You love that place, don't you?"
"Yeah, but I don't want to be a-"
"Peeping Tom. I know. You really wouldn't be a peeping Tom you know. You'd be a peeping Rory."
"And you would be a peeping Lorelai."
"What do you think town loner would be?"
"Peeping town loner?"
"That's kind of long."
"Maybe he would just be peeping Tom."
"Yeah. Seriously, Rory. You should go. You love that place. Just because you looked in Dean's window once-"
"Three times."
"Three times does not mean you should stop going out there. You don't want it to happen again so just sit over on your end. And I think you have enough will power not to look in his window again."
"You think so?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, I will."
"Tonight."
"Why tonight?"
"Because the longer you wait, the more you'll not want to go out."
"Okay."
The carriage ride ended and Rory and Lorelai went upstairs to her apartment and opened the door.
"SURPRISE!"
Almost everyone she knew from Stars Hollow and every other place was there. Luke, Babette, Mory, Lane, Dave (Lane's boyfriend), Kirk, Gypsy, Miss Patty, Sookie, Jackson, Davey (their son), Michel, Taylor, her grandparents, and a lot of other people were standing at her door and Taylor was holding a cake.
"Oh, my god!" Rory exclaimed, turning to her mother. "How did you pull this off?"
"I gave Luke the extra key," said Lorelai.
"On behalf of the town of Stars Hollow and your grandparents," said Taylor. "We want to wish you a happy birthday."
Rory talked to everyone there. She found out that Lane and Dave were engaged. Lane said she loved Dave so much that she didn't care that he wasn't Korean so she let her marry him.
After a few hours of talking and cake, everyone left. It was 7:30. Rory only had one slice of cake which was unusual for her, but she wasn't that hungry. Later she was, but she didn't know what to eat. She rummaged through the closet and found the Dean box and the down comforter and went outside on the fire escape.
To Be Continued.
A/N: Bad, I know, but shouldn't Rory's birthday be acknowledged? Chapter 8 is coming soon.
