Rory's eyes widened in shock, "What?" she yelped.

Jess glanced at her and wondered what it was going to be like to be in a car, for who knows how long, with someone that hated his guts as much as Rory did.

Rory turned and glared at him, "Arrgg!" she growled before standing up and heading over to the car.

Jess shook his head and sighed, this was going to be a long day.

Jess joined Rory at the car as the announcer laid down the ground rules.

(1) They could under no circumstances leave the car, except for scheduled bathroom breaks.

(2) They couldn't bring food into the car with them.

(3) They could not sleep in the car.

Rory glanced at Lorelai, who wore a bittersweet expression.

The bitter part, being Jess-and the sweet part being the fact that Rory had a fifty/fifty chance of driving that car home.

Rory and Jess both slid into the car.

Jess in the drivers seat and Rory in the passenger seat.

"The contest will begin…now!" The announcer glanced at his watch, and then stepped down from his podium.

Lorelai settled in her chair, and tore open a granola bar.

Lane followed Lorelai's example and settled into her chair beside Lorelai.

Dave had left, after saying that he was going to head home, and watch all this on television, from the comfort of his living room couch.

Lorelai glanced at the television camera.

She hadn't realized that the contest was going to be aired on TV.

"Want half?" Lorelai waved the chocolate chip granola bar under Lane's nose.

"You're going to let yourself be possibly shown on TV, with half a granola bar in your hand, and chocolate chips in your teeth?" Lane asked.

"Yep. You want to join me?" Lorelai smiled.

"Why not? I'm hungry." Lane sighed, snatching the granola bar from Lorelai's hand.

Meanwhile…

Rory glanced at Jess, and found him staring at her, "What are you looking at, oil slick?"

Jess grimaced.

Scratch that…she really, really hated his guts.

He shook his head and sighed, "Ouch. Good word usage though."

"Don't play cute with me, Jess. I'm not in the mood, for your mind games."

"My MIND GAMES?" Jess asked incredulously.

"You know what I mean! You're awful." Rory was tired of not saying how she felt, and always trying to find the good in Jess. She had decided that he was awful. And she wanted him to know it.

"I am not. You just don't understand." Jess shook his head again.

"Yes I do. I understand that you treated me like dirt. I would even go so far as to say that, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, is only second to you!" Rory said, looking him straight in the eye.

"So you're comparing me to the Grinch now? Does that mean that you're Cindy Lou Who? And that while all you perfect Who's, live in Whoville, or in this case Stars Hollow, I'm sitting up in my cave, contemplating how to take away everyone's happiness? Is that it?"

"Jess, you are getting way off the subject here!"

"Might I add, that in the end of the movie, everyone forgives the Grinch? And they all sit down to dinner and everything is perfect in their little town again." Jess pointed out.

"Yeah, right. That is in the movie, Jess, we're talking about real life!"

"Whatever. You don't get the point." Jess replied.

"Yeah, whatever, Jess." Rory turned away from him, and glanced at her watch.

It had only been five minutes.

This was going to take longer than either one of them had expected.

AN/ Hey, everyone! I decided to update this story because of a review that I got from, rorynjess4ever. She really wanted me to update this one, so I did. But, the reason that some of these haven't been updated for a while, is because I'm trying to update one story at a time until that story is finished. That way there are consistent updates on that story. The one that I am currently working on is called, Project Baby, and it is a Lizzie McGuire fic-which by the way, I don't own anything pertaining to the Lizzie McGuire show, movie, books, or products! Thanks for all your support, rorynjess4ever! It means a lot to me! And thanks to all my reviewers! Please click the review button and let me know if you liked it!
