*Disclaimer: I don't own the series Gilmore Girls or the characters. All I own is my imagination and the plot.

*A/N: Hey! :-) I was actually thinking of quitting this story for a short while and finishing my Trory first, but I'm not so sure anymore. I think I know how the next couple of chapters are going to be. Anyway this chapter is only a filler, because I wanted to start a new day in a new chapter. Just give me some time to figure out the next chapter.

*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)

Rory dug her hands in to her pocket and slowly turned her head in the direction of the large window. She instantly found Dean's tall and slightly muscular figure with her eyes. She had been doing this for a couple of minutes now. When she was positively sure nobody was looking she appeared in front of the window and looked at Dean as he bagged groceries and had short conversations with practically every customer.

He would look in the direction of the window every now and then, but of course he would see nothing, except for that handful of characterful people that would walk passed Doose's Market every now and then and of course the gazebo, that stood in the middle of the town. The gazebo seemed so out of place, here in this town of colorful buildings and people. And unlike all the other buildings around here, it looked serene and calm. That was probably the reason why it had been build in the first place.

Every time Rory would have the slightest belief that Dean was about to look in her direction, she quickly moved a couple of steps to the right. Out of Dean's view, hopefully. She never moved to the left, cause that was where the door was and she didn't want to be caught in front of Doose's. She had bumped in to a couple of customers already that were either entering or leaving Doose's. But their suspicion faded every time she said something like; I'm waiting for my mom, she's supposed to be meet me here. Which wasn't entirely a lie, since she had agreed to meet her mom in front of Doose's.

Rory carefully approached the window again and smiled when her eyes spotted Dean. This time he was busy stacking something, so luckily for her he was too busy to notice her watchful eyes. Just like she was too busy to notice the curious eyes behind her.

''Who are we spying on ?'' suddenly came a voice behind Rory.

Rory jumped in surprise and turned around in one fluent movement.

''Mom, what are you doing here ?'' she asked, even though she knew the answer.

''I apologize, I thought this was the town I lived in, Stars Hollow. You know, the town where my house is and where I'm supposed to meet my sweet and not so jumpy daughter, but I guess I've got the wrong town.''

Before Rory could say something to her mother, the door of Doose's opened, which caught both of the Gilmore Girls' attention. Taylor came out of the store, dragging Kirk with him, who seemed to be covered in a white substance of some kind.

''No! I need more sugar! Taylor, you don't understand! Mom wanted me to test this new diet for her and I haven't tasted sugar in three weeks!'' Kirk yelled at Taylor, who was already on his way back to the store.

''Nope, this is the right town after all,'' Lorelai commented.

Rory nodded. ''Unless there's an identical town out there where this same situation has just happened too.''

''Of course, I forgot that option. So, back to the original topic. Why were you standing outside Doose's, staring through the window as if they were having a sale on Oompa Loompa's ?''

''Kirk on a sugar free diet, could be lethal,'' Rory said, as she unknowingly glanced in the direction of Dean once more.

''Somebody's feeling like a goldfish in there,'' Lorelai said, as she followed Rory's gaze.

''What ?'' Rory asked absently, as she slowly turned her head towards Lorelai again.

A smile started to appear on Lorelai's lips.

''Mom, what are you smiling at ?''

''Oompa Loompa's,'' Lorelai answered cheerfully.

Rory rolled her head and looked in the same direction as her mom. At Dean.

''I can't picture it now, you and him walking down the aisle........,'' Lorelai started.

''Mom.''

''Of course, the roof of the church would have to be adjusted because of his height. Or the wedding could just be held outside, in the open air. You in a pretty dress and him in an apron, especially designed for him by Armani.''

Rory sighed. ''Let's go to Luke's.''

''No, we need supplies first,'' Lorelai said.

''Can't we do that later,'' Rory asked hopefully.

''Sure, we could. But then you would have been waiting here for nothing. And we would have witnessed Kirk covered in sugar for nothing. Besides, you don't have to go in. I'll just go in by myself.''

''And tell him about the wedding we're going to have ? I don't think so, give me the money.''

''Is this a hold up ?'' Lorelai asked, faking seriousness.

Rory rolled her eyes. ''I'll get the food.''

''Fine, but when you're walking down of those aisles, just picture yourself in a white dress and saying I do.

'' ''I'll meet you at Luke's,'' Rory said, as she headed over to the entrance of Doose's.

''Tum tum....tum tum, tum tum........tum tum,'' Lorelai sang as she turned around and started to head towards Luke's with a smile on her face.

*~*~*

Rory let out a sigh of relief when she heard the reassuring sound of Doose's door closing behind her. She lightly leaned against the door as she roamed through the store with her eyes, trying to find Dean in the small pond of people which were going through their daily shopping routine. She found him by the register, bagging Babette's groceries as she kept talking to him. Probably about her cats. Rory took a step forwards, away from the door and disappeared in to one of the closest aisles.

Soon her arms are buried beneath a mountain of candy, chocolate and other unhealthy goods. She was starting to regret not getting one of those little shopping baskets before starting her discovering journey. She made her way to the end of the aisle sneaked a look around the corner. Dean wasn't standing there anymore. She was partly thankful and partly disappointed at this new discovered fact.

''Hey.''

Rory gasped and pulled her arms towards her as a reflex, causing for all the groceries to end up on the spotless floor. She turned around and faced the person to which the voice belonged to, Dean.

''Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you,'' Dean apologized.

''You didn't. I just like throwing food on the floor. It makes the marshmallows extra fluffy.''

Dean gave her an amusing smile, while his eyes curiously scanned her face, before getting down on his knees to recollect her stuff. Rory silently watched him as he scooped everything up in his athletic arms and got back on his feet.

''Thanks,'' Rory said.

''You need some help carrying them to the register or are you planning on getting even more candy ?'' Dean asked, raising one eyebrow.

Rory was a little embarrassed at his obvious reaction. No one in this town questioned them when they came in to the store and bought practically every item in the candy aisle.

''No, I think I have enough to survive the night.''

''Probably,'' Dean said, as he gave her one more look before leading her over to the register. He dropped them all on the counter and Taylor started to ring them up. Dean bagged Rory's items while she paid for the food and got in to some friendly chitchat with Taylor. Rory patiently listened while Taylor told her how import right change was. When he was done, she politely nodded and mumbled something that sounded like a goodbye. She walked over to Dean and took the two plastic bags from him.

''You didn't ask me if I wanted paper or plastic,'' she pointed out.

''Actually, we only have plastic,'' Dean confessed.

''I'll just have to bring that up at the next town meeting then.''

Dean nodded. Both of them stood there for a while, not knowing what to say.

''I have to go, my mom's waiting,'' Rory said.

''I guess I'll see you tomorrow then.''

Rory nodded and left the store, looking at Dean once more before closing the door and practically floating over to Luke's.

*~*~*

Jess was just on his way to one of the few occupied tables, when the door opened and Rory entered the diner, wearing a big smile that reminded him of one of those TV presenters that always forced their lips to curve and cover up their teeth that were always too white. Only hers wasn't fake, it was too radiating and honest for that.

Jess put the plates down in front of two waiting customers and watched Rory out of the corner of his eye as he walked past him. He caught another glimpse of her faint smile, causing small barely visible lines to appear at the corners of her eyes. It reminded him of a particular line he had read once; a smile keeps people wondering, or something like that. And that was indeed seeming to be a true statement.

He absently nodded at the customers and turned around. As he casually started to walk over to the counter, he found himself wondering about the reason that was hiding behind her breathtaking smile.

Just as Rory sat down on one of the stools, Jess joined Luke behind the counter. To his surprise she wasn't even making an attempt to look at him. Not that he was that arrogant, but he knew that he could be charming if he only had a goal.

Lorelai glanced at Rory as she put her second empty coffee cop down.

''Hey hon, got the sugar ?''

''Yep, right here,'' Rory answered, as she pointed at the two bags that were resting by her feet.

''Good, now what about that other sugah ?'' Lorelai winked. ''You know, a little somethin' somethin'.''

Rory shook her head and looked at Luke. ''Can I have some coffee ?''

''Yeah, she probably needs to cool off from a hot and..............''

''Lorelai,'' Luke warned, as he put down a full mug of coffee in front of Rory.

Rory grabbed her coffee and sweetly smiled at her mom before taking a sip.

''Yes.......master ?'' Lorelai asked, in a seductive voice.

Luke ignored her and started to put her empty coffee cup in the sink. ''Stop bothering the child.''

''Child ? What does that make Jess, the boy ?'' Lorelai asked mockingly.

''I prefer pain in the ass,'' Luke mumbled.

''And what does that make me ?''

''Addict,'' Luke said, without looking at Lorelai.

*~*~*

''So, you and Dean ?'' Lorelai asked, as soon as the door of the diner closed behind them.

Rory remained silent, a little uncomfortable talking about a guy like this.

''Dean and you,'' Lorelai tried again.

Rory sighed. ''No, we haven't set a date for the wedding yet.''

''Why not ?'' Lorelai asked, pretending to be shocked by this news.

''Cause a first date would be nice,'' Rory answered.

''He didn't have paper bags, did he ?''

''Nope.'' Rory shook her head.

''And he calls himself a bagboy.''

''It's not Dean's fault that the store hasn't got any paper bags, you know ? After all it's Taylor's store,'' Rory pointed out.

''Guess we have something to talk about at the next town meeting.''

''Yep,'' Rory answered.

''He should put up some kind of warning sign or something. You know, one that says something like; we only have plastic, but plastic's fantastic.''

''How did we get from Dean to talking about warning signs ?'' Rory asked.

Lorelai shrugged. ''I don't know, but Taylor should definitely let me come up with the ideas for the signs.''

Rory sighed. Lorelai smiled and put her arm around her daughter.

''Maybe we should also put up warnings that say something like; beware when you enter this store, cause once you have laid your eyes on Dean, you'll be wanting more.''

''Mom !'' Rory said, as she buried her head in her hands.

*R*E*V*I*E*W*! Please ? :-) Thanks again for your patience and more importantly your reviews! I would bake each and every one of you a cake, but I can't cook. Of course, I could also try sending you guys a thank you gift, but I don't have a lot of money to spend. So, I hope my gratitude will be enough. :-) Like I said before, give me some time for the next chapter.
