What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
Lorelai sighed for the umpteenth time as she waited for traffic to get moving again. The car was silent except for the Ramones playing in softly in the background. Lilly was not a very talkative kid she realized. She reminded her a lot of Rory at that age. They'd been in the car for over twenty minutes already and little had been said.
"Does Rory have a boyfriend?" Lilly's question took Lorelai by surprise which caused her to be momentarily speechless.
"Ugh…yeah. She does."
"Really? Where is he?"
"Texas."
"What's his name?"
"Dean."
"What kind of name is Dean?" She made a face and repeated the name is distaste. "Dean." Lorelai smiled. "So it's like a long distance relationship or something?"
"Exactly."
"Those things never work out really."
"That's not always true."
"I mean…" Lilly continued, ignoring Lorelai. "What if he finds someone? What if she does?"
Now Lorelai was amused. "Got someone in mind?"
"Just saying…in general." Lilly fell silent again.

"So…" Rory finally broke the suffocating silence. "Do you want something to drink?" She put her hands in her jean pockets nervously.
"No thanks." Jess looked down at his feet while she shifted he weight. Silence once again fell in the room.
"Please let me get you a drink. I really don't want to stand here like a moron."
"Take comfort in the fact that you're not doing it alone," responded Jess. Rory let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"So…do you want to go watch the movie now?"
"Sure. That sounds good." Rory led him out into the living room where the food and drinks were still on the table untouched.
"It's your choice. Do you want to watch 'The Birds first or Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?"
"I've seen Hitchcock's before so the second movie."
"You've never seen Whatever Happened To Baby Jane? Where have you been living? It's only one of the best old movies ever."
"What? I'm not really into old movies. I'm more of a Jackie Chan in Rush Hour guy."
"Great movie," Rory agreed, inserting the DVD into its player. "Have you at least seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show?" She took a seat on the couch next to him, leaving enough space so that the awkwardness didn't return.
"Who hasn't?"
"Well that makes my job easier."
"What job?"
"Well now that you've admitted to not being a major movie buff like me and my mom, I will make it my duty to show you all the great movies of the world."
"That may take a while."
"A sacrifice I'm willing to make." Rory and Jess smiled softly to each other before turning away. Rory turned on the movie.

"Michel!" yelled Lorelai as she, Sookie, and Lilly rushed into the inn. Sookie had pulled up as they had and introductions were being put on the back burner for right now. "Michel!"
He appeared wearing something unusually casual for him. "What's the damage?" wondered Sookie, her face gripped with fear matching Lorelai's.
"The pipes in room 182 busted and flooded everything. It seeped into the floors too so that fell through. Personally, I would've thought that the woman alone could have made the entire floor fall through.
"Michel," Lorelai reprimanded.
"She is big."
"Could we keep focus here?" Sookie acted as the voice of reason.
"Well Sookie, you are going to agree with me once you hear this."
"Oh God, what?"
"That room was right over the kitchen."
"What!"
"How did this happen?"
"I'm not sure."
"You know what this means right?" Lorelai asked.
"We're going to have to close this place down for a few days." Sookie responded.
"Why is that bad?" Lilly piped up. All eyes turned to her. "I-I mean…couldn't you take this as a c-chance to fix everything? M-maybe even repaint the place?"
"Who are you?" Michel asked not-so-politely. He turned to Lorelai. "Who is the short person?"
"This is Lilly. She's kinda Luke's niece but not really..."
"Because that makes sense," Sookie responded sarcastically.
"I'm Luke's nephew's half sister which kinda makes Luke like an uncle to me too."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Sookie and that's Michel."
"Hi." Lilly smiled politely.

"So Jane is insane?" Jess stated when the movie was over.
"Well, it depends on your interpretation of insane."
"I think tying your sister up for days on end and feeding her nothing for no reason and then taking her to the beach because it's prettier there is just about as insane as you can get."
"You obviously don't know my mom very well do you." Rory joked lightheartedly. She stood up, taking the disk out of the DVD player. In reality their original plan to watch Whatever Happened to Baby Jane first hadn't worked out and they'd somehow watch the first Godfather, mocking everything about it. They both agreed that it was the stupidest movie ever. What were thinking when they made it really?
Most of the food in front of them was gone and everything else was closed up but they had both been too lazy to put them into the fridge. Jess had ended up doing it because Rory had needed to go the bathroom and he didn't want to let the food spoil.
Rory looked over at Jess, suppressing a yawn as she put the next movie, True Lies, into the player. "You getting tired? I could leave," Jess offered.
"No, no. It's okay. Besides, what about your sister?"
"Good point."
"Do you at least want to lay down?"
"Really?"
"Sure." Rory took a pillow and placed it on his lap before laying down. Her hair fell around the pillow and tickled his hand that had been there. She pressed the play button.
Within minutes, Rory was asleep on his lap, breathing deeply. Jess stayed up a few minutes longer before falling asleep as well.
Neither of the young adults realized that Lorelai had come home around midnight nor did they realize that she had carried the sleeping Lilly to Rory's bed and tucked her in. They didn't stir when Lorelai draped them both with a blanket, smiled at them, and went upstairs go catch up on some of her zzz's too.
A/N: I hope you liked that chapter. I liked writing it. the main goal was to finish up that whole "movie night" scene. Btw, the movies I mentioned (Whatever Happened To Baby Jane and True Lies) are both really great and I highly recommend them. Please REVIEW!
FACT: Milo Ventimiglia (Jess) is supposed to be starring in a Sylvester Stallone movie "Rocky Balboa Jr." the name of the movie is Rocky Balboa (this was submitted by sadaf)
FACT: Alexis Bledel (Rory) used to be an model but she needed some money so she auditioned for Gilmore Girls and came in in a crappy mood. That's why she was hired…because she was real and didn't really care whether she got the part. Her role as Rory was her first acting debut.
FACT: As much as I'd like it to be true, Milo has not yet proposed to Alexis but apparently, it's in the talks.
If you want me to add something to my FACT or FICTION section, feel free to attach that to your review. Thanks. Until next time…REVIEW!
