A GILMORE GIRLS FANFICTION SCRIPT
BY LEXA POWER
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gilmore Girls or have any say over what happens on the show. This is just a FAN FICTION. The following script contains no spoilers, only what I WISH would happen. I assume no responsibility if any of the following events listed in this script DO happen on the show in the future. Gilmore girls and all the characters in the following script are the property of Amy Sherman Palladino, Dorothy Parker Drank Here Productions, and the WB.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: The following script takes place episode 6.09, and directly follows It Should've Been Jess, a script I wrote that takes place 6.08, which is posted on said, although both scripts follow the real life Gilmore Girls episode 6.07 Twenty-One is the Loneliest Number, many of the events of that episode did not happen, including the Grandparents finding out that Rory has been having sex. Therefore, she was not forced to move into the main house and is currently still living in the pool house.
SUMMARY: After cheating on Logan with Jess, Rory returns home to think about her life and the choices she's been making. Meanwhile, Luke and Lorelai debate the Rory/Jess situation, and the whole town gossips about what they think they saw. The second script in a series.
RATED TV14 for mild language and suggestive dialogue.

INT. RORY'S OLD BEDROOM-MORNING
RORY lies sleeping in her old bed. Her face is streaked with tears. She is wearing a pair of LORELAI'S pajamas. There is a CLOSE UP of her hand holding her cell phone. The camera pans to show JESS'S leather jacket lying on a chair next to the bed. LORELAI sits next to her on the bed, stroking her hair. She notices that RORY has fallen asleep. She sighs. LUKE pokes his head in the door.
LUKE: She asleep?
LORELAI: Yeah.
LUKE: Is she okay?
LORELAI gets up and leaves the room, passing LUKE without answering him.
LUKE (CON'T): Is she okay? You don't have to tell me what happened if it's personal, but-
LORELAI: (interrupting him) Why don't you ask Jess?
LUKE: What? Aww no, don't tell me..
LORELAI: Yes, something happened. Your plan didn't work.
LUKE: What plan?
LORELAI: Your plan to not tell me or Rory that he was here visiting you.
LUKE: He just showed up, I had no idea he was coming here.
LORELAI: (angry) Why was he here?
LUKE: I don't know…he wanted to talk about the wedding.
LORELAI: And you couldn't tell me he was coming here.
LUKE: Well, with that nightmare you had, and everything that's been going on lately, I didn't want you to get all worked up for no reason.
LORELAI: No reason? No reason is not my daughter running home crying at 7 in the morning because YOUR nephew broke her heart AGAIN!
LUKE: Lorelai what happened?
LORELAI: This is your fault, you encouraged him to go after her!
LUKE: Yes I did, he is my nephew and I love him, and I have to support him in what he wants.
LORELAI: He can't handle what he wants, he hurts everyone he comes into contact with, he's like Midas except instead of turning things to gold he breaks them.
LUKE: I didn't know Rory was coming, I thought she was in Hartford. Lorelai what happened?
LORELAI: Picture your nephew sleeping with your future step-daughter.
LUKE: I don't really want to picture that.
LORELAI: It does seem kind of incestuous.
LUKE: Do they know that they're going to be cousins?
LORELAI: I don't think they care.
They look through the door at RORY lying in bed sleeping.
LORELAI: My poor little Rory.
LUKE: Our poor little Rory.
LORELAI smiles at him softly.
LORELAI: I don't want you to feel like you have to take a side here, I don't want it to be Rory vs. Jess.
LUKE: If they're sleeping together, it seems like there's only one side to choose. Of course, then there's her boyfriend.
LORELAI: I'm not on the Logan side.
LUKE: (gesturing towards RORY) What side is she on?
LORELAI: (shaking her head) I don't know.
