Chapter Six: It's Grease Lightning…


That night Rory's mind raced with thoughts, about Jess, about Jenna, about the fight she just had with her mother, was her mom right? Was she just jealous of Jenna and Jess's relationship together. "It's not really her fault for what happened between you and Jess" a voice said in her head. "But mom is wrong, this is not the same as what happened between me and Dean. He was my first boyfriend, and he was….Dean. I hate Jess" the voice said again. "Maybe I can give Jenna a chance, she may turn out to be….like mom said she was, I don't need to be friends with Jess or even talk to him, to be nicer to Jenna." The voice said again, as she drifted off into sleep.

The next day at breakfast Rory would barely say two words to her Mom, she hated fighting with her, but hated even worse to admit when she was wrong, especially when she hadn't officially decided what to do with the whole situation.
"I'm going back to school, I have a lot of work to do" Rory mumbled as she walked out the door.
"Hun, wait…I'm…" Lorelai started before she was cut off by the car door slamming shut. "Sorry." Lorelai waited a few minutes before grabbing her coat and walking down to Luke's dinner.
"Hey Luke." Lorelai said quietly.
"Hey, what's wrong, you look upset." Luke asked leaning on the counter.
"Yeah, Rory and I had a fight last night." Loerlai replied.
"What about" Luke asked.
"Jess and Jenna."
"Come again?"
"I came home and she asked about the dinner, I told her it went great, told her I was surprised about how Jess made a complete turn around in his life, and how much I liked Jenna, told her they would get along well, then she flips."
"Why would that make her flip it doesn't sound like Rory."
"I know, I think she's jealous, she acted like with Dean, and….well you know what happened. I called her a foul, for acting the way she was, and if she just thought and would think about they way she was acting, then she would see what an mistake she was doing….okay so I probably shouldn't have used foul, but….."
"Lorelai, calm down. I agree with you, I still can't believe this is Rory we're talking about, but she's been acting un-Rory like since she's been dating that Logan kid."
"I don't think Logan is the reason why she's so angry or jealous or whatever she is about Jess and Jenna. I called my daughter a foul! I tried to apologize to her this morning, but she went back to Yale. Maybe I should call her, or….."

"Lorelai! Calm down, drink some coffee…..I can't believe I said that. Lookjust leave her, give her some time and she'll come around." Luke said grabbing Lorelai's hand and giving it a squeeze.
Lorelai smiled. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

Rory sat in the newspaper office, across from Jenna, as she tapped her pen, and twirled it between her fingers.
"Hey Rory" Paris said quickly as she walked by and sat beside Jenna. Rory got up, and walked over to the both of them, deciding that this would be a good time, talk to her, with Paris there, she could probably prevent her from acting like a big idiot.
"So, did you give you're brother the list of questions I wanted to ask him about the medical school process?" Paris asked hurridly.
"Yes, Paris, I have them here, he gave you about twenty pages worth of answers, information, references to go volunteer at, work for student jobs at, all things that helped him get into med school, through med school, and even some ideas how he's going to enter medical research . He's planning on doing cancer research too you know." Jenna answered handing Paris a large binder of pages and pamphlets.
"Hey what's going on?" Rory asked.
"Oh hey Rory, Jenna and I were talking last week and I found out that her brother is in medical school well just finished and is entering the work force, and he is planning on doing cancer research like me, so I asked her if I could ask him a few questions."
"A few? You had ten pages worth." Jenna said smiling.
"Wow. You don't have a brother in Journalism or anything do you?" Rory asked sitting down at the table with them.
"No. The other to are a psychiatrist and a cop."
"You have three brothers?" Rory asked.
"Yeah, three older brothers." Jenna replied. "I'm the baby of the family."
"Nice, so…..uh do you guys want to grab a coffee after the news paper meeting?" Rory asked.
"Yeah sure. It would be nice to have one more relaxing moment before the midterms start up." Jenna answered.
"Don't even mention the word mid-term to me." Paris mumbled, "But I could do with some coffee."

After the newspaper meeting, the three walked to the Café in the lounge in Jenna's domnatory.
"What's this?" Jenna asked picking up a flyer and read it aloud."Actors/signers/dancers needed. Charity production of Grease. All proceeds go to local charities in the community including renovations of play grounds and after school programs for children."
"Yale is putting on a production of Grease?" Rory asked smiling.
"Well it's for a children's charity" Paris pointed out.
"Jenna!" Jess said walking up towards her.
"Hey Jess" Jenna said, making room for him on the couch.
"What's that?" Jess asked as he sat down beside her and looked at a piece of paper she was holding. "Production of Grease."
"Yeah, I think I may tryout, I played Sandy in high school" Jenna explained. "It says couples can try out" Jenna said smiling at Jess
"Really? That's great, but I'm, not trying out"
"Why not?"
"I don't sing." Jess answered.
"Aww common Jess it will be fun" Jenna said looking up in to his eyes.
"Don't give me that look, the answer is still going to be no." Jess replied.
"What if I have a proposition for you? You remember the outfit in the final scene of Grease Sandy wears?"
"What outfit?" Jess asked curiously

"You know the tight leather outfit that shows off how perfect Oliva Newton John or whatever her name is body is" Paris snapped.
"Oh yeah, right, what about it?" Jess asked.
"Well, when I played Sandy in high school, I got a one similar outfit, not as tight, but same idea. If you do this with me you'll get a private screening of me in it" Jenna said teasingly.
"…I….uh…alright fine, but you owe me big time" Jess said. "I mean it"
"Alright, I owe you big time." Jenna said smiling giving Jess a kiss.
"Right, now I'm going to go, prepare my self to be humiliated" Jess said.

"I can't believe Jess is in Grease!" Lorelai said laughing at the news Luke just gave her. "That has to be the funniest thing I have ever heard!"
"Yeah, he got us tickets to go, Rory has one too" Luke explained.
"Good! Because there's no way I'm going to miss this." Lorelai said smiling. "When is the play?"
"Friday night." Luke replied, "Think you can get out of dinner?"
"I can, I don't know about Rory."
"She's doing the review for it, so she must be able to go" Luke replied. "It's for charity, I'm sure Richard and Emily would understand."
"Hah! Yeah right this is Richard and Emily!" Lorelai exclaimed.

Lorelai could barely get through the play without laughing at Jess playing the lead role as Danny. When the play was done sheand Luke walked up, as she laughed historically, Rory right behind, laughing just as hard.
"Oh Jess, wow…." Lorelai started as she burst into a fit of laughs. Rory too, nearly fell to the floor in a fit of laughs.
"It was good, you were good." Luke said. "Just ignore them."
"This is their way of revenge isn't it?" Jess grumbled. "I'll never live this down as long as I know the Lorelai's."
"Ha! You got that right!" Lorelai exclaimed.
Jess walked off rolling his eyes, as he went to look for Jenna. "Hey there beautiful" Jess said smiling as he wrapped his hands around her waist. Ready to go."
"Mhhmm." Jenna replied, as they walked back to his dorm room together


A/N: Okay so this chapter pretty much came out of no were, I just thought it up the other night when I couldn't sleep. I thought it would be really funny, to actually see Jess sing and dance in some sort of play. I know it sort of comes out of no where, but it's just a fun way of giving some comic relief. Hope you all enjoyed it.
