Chapter 12: Dance With Me
[Dean]
Dean lay on the couch and waited for Rory two days later. His head started to spin. His vertigo had started yesterday, but got worse today. He clutched on to the cushions of the couch.
He slowly got up and took some pills. Luckily, the vertigo went away just as Rory can downstairs wearing the dress she had worn to her Chilton winter formal. She looked like an angel in that dress.
"You look beautiful," Dean said.
"Thank you," Rory replied, doing a little curtsey.
"That still fits you?"
"I know. I was pretty amazed myself."
When they got there, Luke and Lorelai were pouring coffee at a table. Rory and Dean walked over to them.
"On the coffee committee?" Dean asked.
"Yeah," Luke said. "Luckily, Lorelai's helping me."
"And it's like torture," Lorelai said. "I know I'm only allowed to drink decaf, but I want the caffeine. Just one sip. All I want is one sip!"
"Mom," Rory said. "Calm down! It's just coffee!"
"'Just coffee?'" Lorelai repeated. "The Gilmores love coffee. We need coffee."
"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE!" Taylor yelled. "IT'S TIME TO START! 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! IT'S SHOWTIME!"
Dean and Rory started dancing with everyone else. They did nothing fancy, they just spun around and other stuff. Hey, this is fun, Dean thought.
"Having fun?" Dean asked.
"Yeah," Rory replied.
[Rory]
It was hour 23. Rory's feet killed her. She and Dean leaned against each other struggling to stay awake. She, Dean, Kirk, and his girlfriend, Lucy were the only people on the dance floor. Rory looked over on the bleachers. Lorelai was asleep. Luke was sipping coffee.
"You awake?" Rory asked Dean.
"No," Dean replied. "Are you?"
"No."
"My feet hurt."
"I told you it was a bad idea."
"Sorry."
"It's okay. I had fun most of the time."
"Me, too. Do you want to just go home and go to bed?"
"Sounds like a good idea."
Just as they were about to leave, Kirk and Lucy fell over. Rory and Dean were the only ones left.
"WE WON!" Rory exclaimed. "WE WON!"
"Ladies and gentlemen," Ms. Patty said. "We have new winners this year! Dean and Rory Gilmore Forester."
"WE WON!" Rory turned to Dean. "DEAN WE-"
Rory stopped when she saw Dean. He was rubbing his forehead. His eyes were squeezed shut. His face was pale and pinched. Beads of sweat popped out on his forehead.
"DEAN!" Rory exclaimed. "WHAT'S HAPPENING!"
"Dizzy," Dean mumbled. "Very dizzy."
Rory quickly slung his arm around her shoulder.
"MOM! LUKE!" she yelled. "I NEED A RIDE TO THE HOSPITAL!"
Luke shook Lorelai awake and gave Lorelai car keys and she walked as quickly as she could outside. Luke got on the other side of Dean and helped him into the car. They drove to the hospital. Rory stroked Dean's hair during the ride. Please, let him be all right, she thought.
