Disclaimer: I don't own them!! However there's one made up character in this chapter!
A/N: Hey, I'm back! This is the last crap-chap(like my nickname?:) the next chapter(and from there on) is pure plot!! I am personally psyched, because I've been out of these pre-plot chapters for a few months! And I'm starting to get very sick of them!! Again I'll say, they're probably OOC that's how it is in this story and that will unfortunately never ever change! But the real characters just would not fit into this story so I had to go OOC!! Understand my crazy ways now? Okay good! On with the chapter!~
Thanks very much to my reviewers, JCtigerwolf4e, Vfoxy713 and Lola, you guys are great!! I love you all! My reasons for writing!! But people, I'm really hoping to get more than 3 reviews this time! Please!!
JCtigerwolf4e: I love you so much!! Thank you for always reviewing my stories, you're great!! And don't worry, Dean's just fighting for her, I LOVE Jess, and unlike the (messed up) writers of the show, I'm not letting him go anywhere! Not even just out of the relationship! And it's kinda fun to torture Dean(I'm so mean)!! But it gets kinda boring(at least in my opinion) when things go TOO smoothly!
-SHAMELESS FLIRT~(sound good?)

I walked to Luke's, I didn't see them, so I figured I got there first. Good. I walked in and immediately spotted Jess. I walked over to him, "Hello." I smiled.
"Hey," he said, then leaned in and kissed me. "How are you?"
"Good." I answered.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing. I'm going to the movies today, with Lane, we had planned it, and-, but Dean asked her if he could join us and he's going too." I said, hoping he wouldn't get mad like Dean would have.
"Ah." he half smiled, and kind of nodded knowingly,"Do you know what you're going to see?"
"No, I was going to let Lane pick."
"Sounds good." he nodded.
"Really?" I asked. No anger? No possessiveness? No caveman tactics?
"Yeah, I mean for you. They're your friends, you don't seem very excited though."
"Well, I just didn't really plan on it. And we're meeting here apparently."
"Oh, fun." he said sarcastically.
I smiled and kissed him. I love you." I told him.
"And I love you." he smiled. "One of your friends are here. My favorite bagboy."
"Oh." I sat down on my stool, he came in and sat in the one next to me.
"Hi, Rory." he said.
I smiled, "Hi, Dean."
"Hi, Jess." he said, only slightly unfriendly.
"Hi, Dean." Jess replied the exact same way, except also a little superior.
"How are you?" I asked politely.
"Good, how are you doing?" he asked smiling.
"I'm good." I nodded smiling. I looked at the door, ah, saved! "Lane." I was glad she was there.
"Hi, guys. Hi, Jess." she greeted.
"Hello, Lane." Jess said, much nicer than his hello to Dean.
"So, are we ready?" she asked.
"I think so." I replied.
"Yep." Dean agreed.
"Okay, let's go." she said.
We all stood up, Dean and Lane went to step away.
I leaned in to give Jess a kiss goodbye. "I love you." he said.
"Love you too, bye." I replied, and walked to catch up to them. Lane stopped.
"Did you just say I love you?" she asked.
"Yeah. So, do you know what you want to see yet?" I asked them.
She looked surprised but decided not to say anything else because of Dean. "I don't know, I think 'Abandon' or 'Sweet Home Alabama'." she said.
"Ooh, Reese Witherspoon, I've been wanting to see that." I said.
"Okay, would that be all right, Dean?" she asked. we both looked at him smiling pleadingly.
He shook his head, "Oh, all right." he smiled.
"Yay!" I smiled.
We went to the movies, and by the time it was over we were all comfortable with eachother. We were three friends, and I really liked it. We were walking back to Luke's.
"I actually did like the movie, it wasn't as much of a chick flick as I thought it would be." Dean said.
"I know, I really liked it too." I agreed as we walked into Luke's.
"I think- stop!" Lane whispered.
"What's wrong?" I asked quietly since she did.
"Look." she pointed to where Jess had just sit down. Some pretty blonde was practically throwing herself at him. "That girl is OBVIOUSLY flirting with him." she complained quietly.
Dean was trying not to smile, but I didn't notice. We could see Jess, but he couldn't see us. "Yeah, she's not exactly being subtle." Dean agreed using every ounce of will power he had not to grin from ear to ear.
She was doing that hair twirling thing and smiling like a Miss America. I'll admit it, I was a little uneasy seeing her flirting with MY boyfriend. I know it showed on my face.
"Aren't you going to do something?" Lane asked outraged.
"Well...no." I finally said.
"Why not?" she asked.
"Because, I have to be able to trust him. I'm...trusting him, right now." I said.
"Wow, I wouldn't be. Not with her." she said. Then we got quiet and eavesdropped, but in my defence it was my boyfriend, therefore my business.
"So, what school do you go to?" she asked him, smiling like an idiot.
"Stars Hollow High." he replied unenthusiastically as he pulled a book out of his back pocket.
"I go there too." she said, acting surprised by the coincidence. Duh!
"Of course she goes there, what an idiot." I complained quietly. It's the only school in this stupid little town.
"Huh." Jess replied and started reading his book.
"So, are you seeing anyone?" she asked. Nothing like cutting to the chase.
"Yep." he answered. I half smiled.
"Oh, is it serious?" she asked. Apparently she doesn't know how to take a hint.
"Yeah." he said.
"Really?" she's quite persistent.
"We're probably getting married this weekend." he replied semi annoyed.
"Funny." she obviously doesn't care he has a girlfriend. A serious girlfriend. Me.
"I thought so." he replied never looking up from the book that he couldn't possibly be reading.
"You're not much of a talker, are you?" she asked. She just figured that out?
"Nope." he replied. Take a hint tramp, he's taken and not interested!
"Well," she said in a very VERY flirtatious, I'd even branch to say suggestive, voice, "there are better things to do than talk."
My eyes widened slightly and my jaw dropped. "Okay, I trust him. That's enough." I said then headed over there.
"Hi, Jess." I said with a smile.
He closed his book and smiled at me. "Hi, Rory." he stood up.
I kissed him for a minute. Mine! Then looked at her, "Hi." I said nicely. And I wanted to pull her hair out, so nice wasn't easy.
"Girlfriend?" she asked.
"Yep," he said wrapping his arm around me.
"Nice meeting you Jess, bye." she left looking slightly rejected and confused. Poor her...NOT! Lane smiled.
"Well, she was shamelessly throwing herself at you." I said smiling at him.
"Oh, you noticed?" he teased.
"A person who was blind and deaf would have noticed." I said. But I was extremely pleased with his way of handling it. "However, it was noticably unrequited."
"I'm very picky, she wasn't my type." he teased, shaking his head.
"Well, what type lives up to your high standards?" I played along.
"You do." he replied.
I smiled, "Good answer."
"You are way more trusting than I would've been." Lane said.
"So, did you have fun at the movies?" he changed the subject.
"Very much. We went to see 'Sweet Home Alabama'." I answered.
"Huh, any good?" I think if Dean were anyone else, he would have shot him a pity look. But he's Dean. So, no pity look.
"Yeah, I liked it." I said.
"So did I." Lane said.
"Good." he replied.
Truth be told, my mind was still back at the flirty girl chapter. I was extremely happy with how he handled it. He acted as if she were a 30 year old man instead of a very pretty, not to mention trampy, blonde, wearing tight clothes that she'd probably let him remove in a millisecond and throwing herself at him. I mean, how many guys would ignore her? Now I trust him even more than I did. I can't wait to tell Mom. Soon we were done talking and we said goodbye and went home. I walked in the house.
"Mom." I called out.
"Livingroom." she called back. I walked in to the couch. "Hey babe."
I was beaming. "Hi,"
"Well, smiley, I take it you hsd fun at the movies." she said.
"Oh, right, the movies. Yeah, that was fun. Not why I'm smiling though."
The phone rang . "Where's the phone?" Mom asked.
"I don't know, I heaven't been here." The phone kept ringing and we kept looking.
The machine came on, and we heard the message. "Hey, Rory, it's Lane. I'm sure you've lost the phone, so call me when you find it. I just wanted to tell you that you have an amazingly trustworthy boyfriend." she squealed, "I mean, you must feel so confident right now. Anyway, I wanted to ask more about the whole I love you thing, I couldn't in front of Dean, so... well, call me, bye Lucky."
I was beaming again. Mom's mouth was slightly open and her eyes were wide,"Wow, you're lucky and have an amazingly trustworthy boyfriend? Who is he?" she asked, in shock that Lane could've been using these adjectives to describe Jess.
"Very funny. Jess, I thought I couldn't trust him more, I thought I already trusted him as much as you CAN trust a person. But I was wrong. I trust him even more now. NOW I don't think I could trust him more. I AM lucky." I said, sitting down.
"What hapened? Why is Jess trustworthy? And why are you confident?"
I told her all about the pretty, trampy blonde with tight clothes completely throwing herself at Jess, and Jess ignoring her even when she got suggestive. But I told her how Jess just completely ignored her and didn't care, and how he smiled, stood up, kissed me and wapped his arm around me to show he was taken.
She looked more than shocked, she was actually at a loss for words. She just sat there staring blankly, until finally she spoke, "Um, could he maybe have known you were watching?"
This made me mad enough to break something. "Unbelievable. Why do you do that?" I threw my hands in the air, "Yes! I must have forgotten to tell you, he has superhuman senses. He can tell when you're coming from even a mile away. In fact, that's probably why he was so cool with me going to the movies with Dean. He has x-ray vision, he was probably watching the whole time. He was so trusting, not because he loves me and trusts me, but because if I would've made any attempt to flirt or cheat on him with Dean- you know, me being so prone to doing that- he could've just flown over like the speed of light and blasted Dean or any other guy- including Clark Kent himself- away. How could that have slipped my mind?" I replied sarcastically.
"Okay, opening mouth, inserting foot." Mom said.
But it was too late now, I was on a roll, "Why even when he has done something so great and worthy of praise, you can't believe it? You always have to think the worst of him. Do you know how many boyfriends would've jumped at the chance to do whatever with that girl? She was beautiful, and she didn't care that he had a girlfriend. There are better things to do than talk." I said in the same flirty, suggestive way that she did. "Hello; prime cheating opportunity, how may I help you?" I said worked up.
"Okay, I'm sorry. You're right, I suck. It's just- I don't know, that's so- well, it's just a little hard to believe. I mean, did you really think- I just figured that if Jess got such an easy opportunity, if he could, that he'd cheat."
"Well, you were wrong. I told you, he loves me. He just further proved it today. That's another reason I told you I wouldn't become Shane. You should have seen this girl, what guy in his right mind would choose me over her? I'm like Miss Goody Two Shoes and she's like Seductive Slut Barbie." I said.
"So, he didn't know you were there and proved his fidelity. So, I guess maybe he's more loyal to you and your relationship than I originally thought." I smiled smugly. "BUT, I still don't trust him very much." she added.
Yay!" I found the phone, "I found it. I need to call Lane now." I said.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Someday I hope you'll trust Jess. He's endured your horrible torture session and turned down trampy blondes all without running away or pulling out his hair, so I'd say he's earned it." I told her.
"Okay, you go make your phone call, I'll go watch for the flying pigs." she said with a cheerful smile.
"You do that." I dialed Lane's number.
"Hello?"
"Hello." I replied.
"Rory, hi! Oh my gosh, can you believe how uninterested he was? You are so, so lucky. She was so, so easy, seriously, I'll bet she has one heck of a reputation. That was so cool." she raved.
"I know, how unbelievable was that? He is amazingly trustworthy. A lot of guys, especially ones with pulses, would have flirted back or at least shown some sort of interest in her." I agreed.
"He must really be crazy about you. Oh! Speaking of, you told him you loved him."
"I know, he did, too."
"Wow, I didn't realize you guys were at the I love you stage yet. I mean, with Dean it took three months and one break up." she pointed out.
"I know, but I"m so in love with him." Mom rolled her eyes. "Mom, how rude." I shook my head. "I'm serious Lane, he's so great." I said with a smile.
"You're so lucky. How did the 'I love you' thing happen?"
Oh, not good. "Well, he told me he loved me and I told him I loved him." I said vaguely, "But, I didn't even have to think about it." I added.
"That's great. I can't get over it though, the guy I like doesn't even really know that I like him, but you love a guy and he loves you back." she said.
"I know. I've never felt this way before, Lane."
"What about Dean?" she asked.
"No, Dean was very different. He got too jealous and he didn't really trust me. Jess totally trusts me, he defends me when some people don't think he should trust me." I said pointedly to Mom. "But he loves me and trusts me. Plus, do you think Dean would've ever let me go to the movies with Jess? Jess didn't get mad at me because I was going with Dean. He's even glad that I'm friends with Dean, as long as it makes me happy. Can you believe that?"
"Really? You mean Jess wasn't at all worried that you were going with Dean?"
"Well, if he was he hid it well. He told me to have a good time, he was great about it. I didn't know how to act, he is so different from Dean." I said.
"I know. I was shocked, Jess seemed...well, nice. And he looked happy, well, happy for him, and he said he loved you. Three words I would've never expected to come out his mouth. I was so surprised because I always thought he was kind of a jerk, but he definitely didn't seem like one today." she added. "I also assumed that he would jump at the chance to, well, flirt or do whatever one would do with that girl. I now see that I was wrong about him. I can almost see why you're so crazy about him." she said.
"Yes, that's the thing, he's always let me see the good part of him. Nobody else, he would only be nice to me. That's why everyone had- or has the wrong idea about him."
"So, he totally trusts you?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Oh, I was just wondering. That's really great Rory, I'm happy for you. Oh, hey, Mama's coming, I gotta go." she said quickly.
"Bye." I hung up.
The next Wenesday came before I knew it. Mom and I were going to Luke's. We had a poptart before we left but we needed our daily dose of coffee. "Why so quiet?" Mom asked.
"Huh? Oh, I don't know." I replied.
"You look very far away." she said.
"No, I was just thinking." I said. Yeah, I was thinking, all right.
"What about?" she asked.
"Nothing." I lied.
We arrived at Luke's and I saw Jess.
"Hey there." I greeted him.
"Hi," he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. I love how I feel when his arms are around me. I could stay just like that forever, maybe even without coffee. Okay, maybe not.
"Hey, lovebirds, can I get through here?" Mom interrupted.
I smiled, he smirked and we went to the counter. Soon we finished and then we left.
"Okay, I want to know what's going on." she said.
"Oh, can I talk to you later? I gotta go, bus." I said.
She nodded, "All right." she said.
I sat down in my seat on the bus and sighed.

A/N: Hey guys! I'm sorry it took so long to update, but on the bright side, this is the end of the crappy no plot stuff!! I'm probably more excited than I should be, but having no plot can take it's toll :) So, I'll try to get the next chapter out sooner!! PLEASE REVIEW!!! That was part of the reason it took so long to update this time, usually I would want to update this story sooner, so I could get this part over with, and get to the good stuff, but I barely got any reviews the last chap:( So I was suffering not from writer's block, but this story is incredibly boring for me to write, because it's already in a notebook, so I'm just staring at a notebook, it's very boring to write stuff that you wrote months before! If you've not done it, just take my word for it, very boring! Especially when the last few chaps have been extremely saccharine, I'm like the world's biggest fluff fan and even I got sick!! But, thank goodness, that's done!! And as promised, it'll be demoted to the cameo appearance, and there'll actually be a plot! Yay!
A/N: Hey, I'm back! This is the last crap-chap(like my nickname?:) the next chapter(and from there on) is pure plot!! I am personally psyched, because I've been out of these pre-plot chapters for a few months! And I'm starting to get very sick of them!! Again I'll say, they're probably OOC that's how it is in this story and that will unfortunately never ever change! But the real characters just would not fit into this story so I had to go OOC!! Understand my crazy ways now? Okay good! On with the chapter!~
Thanks very much to my reviewers, JCtigerwolf4e, Vfoxy713 and Lola, you guys are great!! I love you all! My reasons for writing!! But people, I'm really hoping to get more than 3 reviews this time! Please!!
JCtigerwolf4e: I love you so much!! Thank you for always reviewing my stories, you're great!! And don't worry, Dean's just fighting for her, I LOVE Jess, and unlike the (messed up) writers of the show, I'm not letting him go anywhere! Not even just out of the relationship! And it's kinda fun to torture Dean(I'm so mean)!! But it gets kinda boring(at least in my opinion) when things go TOO smoothly!

"Someday I hope you'll trust Jess. He's endured your horrible torture session and turned down trampy blondes all without running away or pulling out his hair, so I'd say he's earned it." I told her.
"Okay, you go make your phone call, I'll go watch for the flying pigs." she said with a cheerful smile.
"You do that." I dialed Lane's number.
"Hello?"
"Hello." I replied.
"Rory, hi! Oh my gosh, can you believe how uninterested he was? You are so, so lucky. She was so, so easy, seriously, I'll bet she has one heck of a reputation. That was so cool." she raved.
"I know, how unbelievable was that? He is amazingly trustworthy. A lot of guys, especially ones with pulses, would have flirted back or at least shown some sort of interest in her." I agreed.
"He must really be crazy about you. Oh! Speaking of, you told him you loved him."
"I know, he did, too."
"Wow, I didn't realize you guys were at the I love you stage yet. I mean, with Dean it took three months and one break up." she pointed out.
"I know, but I"m so in love with him." Mom rolled her eyes. "Mom, how rude." I shook my head. "I'm serious Lane, he's so great." I said with a smile.
"You're so lucky. How did the 'I love you' thing happen?"
Oh, not good. "Well, he told me he loved me and I told him I loved him." I said vaguely, "But, I didn't even have to think about it." I added.
"That's great. I can't get over it though, the guy I like doesn't even really know that I like him, but you love a guy and he loves you back." she said.
"I know. I've never felt this way before, Lane."
"What about Dean?" she asked.
"No, Dean was very different. He got too jealous and he didn't really trust me. Jess totally trusts me, he defends me when some people don't think he should trust me." I said pointedly to Mom. "But he loves me and trusts me. Plus, do you think Dean would've ever let me go to the movies with Jess? Jess didn't get mad at me because I was going with Dean. He's even glad that I'm friends with Dean, as long as it makes me happy. Can you believe that?"
"Really? You mean Jess wasn't at all worried that you were going with Dean?"
"Well, if he was he hid it well. He told me to have a good time, he was great about it. I didn't know how to act, he is so different from Dean." I said.
"I know. I was shocked, Jess seemed...well, nice. And he looked happy, well, happy for him, and he said he loved you. Three words I would've never expected to come out his mouth. I was so surprised because I always thought he was kind of a jerk, but he definitely didn't seem like one today." she added. "I also assumed that he would jump at the chance to, well, flirt or do whatever one would do with that girl. I now see that I was wrong about him. I can almost see why you're so crazy about him." she said.
"Yes, that's the thing, he's always let me see the good part of him. Nobody else, he would only be nice to me. That's why everyone had- or has the wrong idea about him."
"So, he totally trusts you?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Oh, I was just wondering. That's really great Rory, I'm happy for you. Oh, hey, Mama's coming, I gotta go." she said quickly.
"Bye." I hung up.
The next Wenesday came before I knew it. Mom and I were going to Luke's. We had a poptart before we left but we needed our daily dose of coffee. "Why so quiet?" Mom asked.
"Huh? Oh, I don't know." I replied.
"You look very far away." she said.
"No, I was just thinking." I said. Yeah, I was thinking, all right.
"What about?" she asked.
"Nothing." I lied.
We arrived at Luke's and I saw Jess.
"Hey there." I greeted him.
"Hi," he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. I love how I feel when his arms are around me. I could stay just like that forever, maybe even without coffee. Okay, maybe not.
"Hey, lovebirds, can I get through here?" Mom interrupted.
I smiled, he smirked and we went to the counter. Soon we finished and then we left.
"Okay, I want to know what's going on." she said.
"Oh, can I talk to you later? I gotta go, bus." I said.
She nodded, "All right." she said.
I sat down in my seat on the bus and sighed.

A/N: Hey guys! I'm sorry it took so long to update, but on the bright side, this is the end of the crappy no plot stuff!! I'm probably more excited than I should be, but having no plot can take it's toll :) So, I'll try to get the next chapter out sooner!! PLEASE REVIEW!!! That was part of the reason it took so long to update this time, usually I would want to update this story sooner, so I could get this part over with, and get to the good stuff, but I barely got any reviews the last chap:( So I was suffering not from writer's block, but this story is incredibly boring for me to write, because it's already in a notebook, so I'm just staring at a notebook, it's very boring to write stuff that you wrote months before! If you've not done it, just take my word for it, very boring! Especially when the last few chaps have been extremely saccharine, I'm like the world's biggest fluff fan and even I got sick!! But, thank goodness, that's done!! And as promised, it'll be demoted to the cameo appearance, and there'll actually be a plot! Yay!
