AN/ Hey all! I hope that you all enjoy this chapter! This entire story is for my sister, who supports me in my writing and I owe her a big thank you for encouraging me to update this story! This one's for you, Jenny! SMILE!

As Lorelai sat staring at Rory who was sitting behind the wheel of the car, refusing to even glance at Jess, she realized that Lane was no longer sitting beside her.

She looked around the room and didn't see her anywhere.

"Hmm." She said to no one in particular, "I wonder where she is."

Then she spotted her.

She was standing at a store window, across from where the contest was being held, and she was admiring a pair of jeans in the window.

Lorelai stood and walked over to where Lane was entranced in a window shopping haze of daydreaming, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Salivating over those incredible jeans!" Lane said with her usual exuberance.

"Oh, you like them that much huh?"

"Did I mention the drool factor?"

"Ewwww! Don't be gross, Lane!" Lorelai shuddered dramatically.

"I'm sorry they're just so wonderful! Don't you think that they would look great on me?"

Lorelai glanced at the dark blue denim jeans with the sequins that lined the front pockets and gave them an extra glimmer and a unique quality. Then she studied the jeans that Lane was wearing. They were a simple pair of white wash jeans, nothing special or sparkly about them, "Well, I like the fit of the ones you're wearing, but your right. That pair in the window screams Lane Kim."

"I want to try them on!" Lane cried almost pressing her nose to the glass window.

"Okay. You go try them on and I'll go grab some fries and shakes from the food court. I'll meet you at the front of the store in like five minutes." Lorelai shrugged and started walking as Lane grinned and called something about extra salt on those French fries.

Meanwhile…

"Rory, come on, talk to me!" Jess insisted, leaning over the armrest and grabbing her hand.

She gave him an icy glare and jerked her hand away from his grip.

"Rory, you're not being fair!" Jess tried again.

Rory gave him an incredulous stare and then caught herself and began glaring again.

"You caused this, Jess. Don't try to act like I'm the villain. This is your fault! Not mine. You just use people. I should've known when I saw you treating Luke like you did…"

"Rory, don't start in on me…" Jess tried to stop her string of words.

"No, no, no! You told me to talk to you! I'm talking to you! Why, Jess, why did you treat everyone like that?…"

"Because I…" Jess tried again.

"Enough talk about you, Jess! In fact I'm tired of saying your name! I'll just call you boyfriend number two. How's that?" Rory ranted.

"What? How…"

"No! It's my turn to talk! Do you know the problems and the hurt you caused? Do you?"

"Well…"

"Stop interrupting me! I mean it! You are so rude! In fact I don't even want to talk to you anymore! So just be quiet or you can just get out of this car right now!" Rory said feeling slightly hysterical.

Jess shook his head and stared out the window.

What they didn't realize was that the citizen's of Stars Hollow were watching them intently over bowls of popcorn and glasses of soda…
