Now on with the show...

"Guys, I'm nervous; I can't do this!" Rory was really scared about the auditions. They were on their way to the auditorium to Ms. Rodriquez's class after lunch on Wednesday.

"Rory, calm down." Jess rubbed her shoulders.

"It's gonna be okay." Tristan ran a hand through her hair.

"No, it's not gonna be okay and I'm not going to calm down!" Rory said frantically.

Tristan whispered to Jess," Ya think she's gonna be okay?"

"Yea, she's gonna be FINE." Jess said fine loudly while looking at Rory, pointed look in tow.

Rory was already sitting down in her seat, rubbing her temples when she let out a frustrated scream, causing everyone to look at her, making her turn a lovely shade of pink.

"Sorry." She said sheepishly." Oh nooo." She added when she saw Ms. Rodriguez heading to the stage. ` Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn... ` Her damns were cut off when she heard her name being called to go up for the actual audition.

It wasn't so bad because both Jess and Tristan were with her on stage performing the scene. Everyone was great; they were sure they had gotten the parts they wanted.

"You all did marvelous." (a/n: I borrowed the marvelous thing from the drama teacher in ` A Walk To Remember ` Mrs. Garber [lOl].) I will have the results posted on the bulletin board by next period.-- BRIIINNNNGGGGGG-- (bell for next period.)

~STUDY HALL~(right after DRAMA)

Rory, Tristan, and Jess were all at the same table reading some books.

"Guys, do you think I did good? Be honest." Rory asked.

"No, Ror. We think you did great!" The boys said in unison.

"Thanks guys, you all were awesome.

"We know." They said.

" And the egos return." Rory said to them both.

"Hey! I didn't have an ego before; that was Tristan." Jess stated defensively.

" Yea, that's righ--hey!" Tristan agreed with Jess at first but realized Jess was dissing him later.

"What? It's true... Don't kill me!" Jess was getting scared now; he could see the little wheels turning in Tristan's head, and so could Rory.

"Tris, put the binder down." Rory said slowly. When he didn't listen and started running after Jess, Rory thought ` Screw it!' and joined in on the fun. She had never ran so fast in her life, not even to get some of Luke's coffee. Rory preceded to jump on Tristan to try and stop him from beating Jess with a binder, but they kinda landed in a strange position. Tristan was on top of Rory, his hands on either side of her head. They were breathing heavily, staring into eachother's eyes.

`Why is Tris looking at me like...like he...loves me?' Rory wondered.

`She's so beautiful; I wish she were mine. Rory, you'll never know how much I love you.'

Neither had noticed their odd position until Jess coughed to get their attention.

"I hate to break up this lil love fest, but Ms. Rodriguez just posted who got the parts in the play, and I thought you two might wanna see it." Jess said, looking at them quizzically.

"Oh, yea...um, right...play parts...we should go see them. Come on, lets go!" Rory stammered and ran off.

"You really love her, don't you?" Jess asked Tristan softly.

"Yes, but she's oblivious to the fact so it really doesn't matter." Tristan said quietly, sadness laced in his voice.

After pondering Tristan's statement for a while, Jess said " I think we can do something about that."

"Really?" Tristan said hopefully.

"Yea, really. But first, let's go see what parts we got..."

"OH MY GOD, I GOT ANTOLINA...YES!!" Rory squealed while doing a happy dance.

"Kewl Rory." The guys said.

"What did you guys get?" Rory asked, visibly calming.

"Duke." Tristan said

"Shorty." Jess said.

"Kewl, this is gonna be great." Rory stated.

~LUKE'S~(later that day)

Luke and Jess were acting very strange. Whenever the topic of relationships came up they got all squirmy. It was kinda fun to watch, but Rory and Lorelai wanted to know what was up; they wanted the old guys back! So they took each of them aside and just asked them, plain and simple.

Luke/Lorelai convo.:
Lor: Luke, what is wrong with you?

Luke: What do you mean, Lor?

Lor: It's rude to answer a question with a question, but what I mean is why are you acting weird around me?

Luke : I'm not acting weird around you, Lorelai.

Lor: Yes you are.

Luke: No, I'm not.

Lor: YES

Luke: NO

Lor: YES!

Luke: NO!

Lor: Okay, let's just stop this is getting way too two year old for me.

Luke: You have a point.

Lor: But seriously, Luke, what's wrong?

Luke: Well, I...ya see...the thing is...that...that I...

Lor: Yes?

Luke: I love you Lorelai. I have loved you since the first time I saw you and I've been holding it inside me, but I can't anymore. I just needed to tell you that, and I bet you probably hate me now so I'm just gonna...go.

Lor: Wait.

Luke turns around expectantly.

Luke: Yea? *He said, his voice full of hope.*

Lor: I love you too. *Lorelai said barely above a whisper.*

They run up to eachother (a/n: ya know the one where they are in that meadow?) and pull eachother into a passionate kiss.

Lor: So, where does this leave us?

Luke: Together?

Lor: I told you before that it's rude to answer a question with a question... YES, together!! *Lorelai gives him one of her infamous bone crushing hugs.*
Meanwhile Jess/Rory convo.

Ror: Jess what is up with you?

Jess: Well I....ya see...the thing is....that...that I needyoutoaskparisifshe'sdatinganyone. *Jess said in one breath.*
Ror: You what? *Rory asked even though she knew what he had said.*

Jess: I.need.you.to.ask.Paris.if.she's.dating.anyone. *Jess inunciated*
Ror: Oh well, why didn't you say that in the first place?

Jess: Ror, I'm in no mood to play games with you right now.

Ror: Fine, go and ruin a girl's fun, why don't ya?

Jess: Lorelai Leigh Gilmore...*Jess said, his voice getting louder.*

Ror: Okay, okay...you don't have to go all Brady Bunch on me, jeez!

Jess: So will you ask her? *Jess said hopefully* (a/n: He's getting more like Luke everyday! AWWW)

Ror: Yes, I will ask Paris; but I'm sure she'll go out with you. So don't you worry your pretty little head about it.

Jess: Thanks Ror, you're the greatest. *Jess proceeds to turn into Lorelai & give Rory a bone crushing hug*

Rory asked Paris the next day (Friday) and she said that no she didn't' have a boyfriend. Rory had a knowing smile as if saying `You'll have one soon!' Paris then gave her a look, but Rory said she had to get to Drama.

~DRAMA~

"JESS!" Rory screamed.

" Rory, can you get any louder?" Jess asked, just a little perturbed by her vocal cords at the moment.

"Yes, but I know something you don't know!"

"Is it about what I asked you last night?"

"Maybe..." Rory said with this skeptical look on her face.

"Come on Ror, I'm dying here!!" Jess pleaded

"Fine. She.... *Rory pauses here to make it seem like she actually does have a bf to see Jess squirm*....DOESN'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND!

Jess lets out a breath he hadn't known he was holding."God, I love you!"

"Go get her, Tiger!" Rory said very enthusiastically

"You bet I am." Jess precedes to run off in the middle of class to get Paris. (a/n: AHHAHAHHAHAH....funny!)

"What was that about Rory?" Tristan asked, extremely confused.

"Jess likes Paris and yesterday he asked me to find out if she had a boyfriend; I asked today and she said she didn't have one, a boyfriend that is, so I just now told him and he ran off to go get her." Rory said in all of that in one breath.

"Kewl." Tristan said

~CRAP SHACK~ (later that night)

Rory lay on her bed. `How come everyone else gets to be in a relationship accept me? I miss having a boyfriend...' She fell asleep then.

~Playhouse Chilton rented for play~ (fast forward 1 month)

"I'm so nervous; I can't do this." Rory dead-panned.

"Ror, that's the same thing you said at auditions and look what part you got: the lead. That's gotta mean something..." Tristan told her. (a/n: Jess was off *getting aquainted* with Paris.)

"Now, as Lorelai would say, `Get your ass out there!' " Tristan pushed her onto the stage, then followed himself.

"Rory?"

"Yea, Tris?"

"Remeber to breath." And with that the curtain went up...
