Sing For Me
Chapter Three
Rory and Lane were sitting on the front porch of the Gilmore house eating some ice cream. Lane had just finished telling Rory about the last time she talked to Dave.
"I don't know," Lane said. "It's just so hard to keep a long distance relationship going. I really miss him but sometimes I think maybe I should just let it go."
"You're thinking about breaking up with Dave?" Rory asked surprised. Rory knew that it was possible for Lane and Dave to call it quits at some point but she was still surprised when she heard Lane say it.
"I don't want to break up with him but he's in California and I'm in Stars Hollow and what if he meets some ultra cool girl who digs the same kind of music he does. I don't want him to feel like he's missing out because of me."
"No guy who's with you is missing out on anything, Lane. And Dave would be crazy if he thought he could find a girl with better taste in music then you."
"Thanks. I just..." Lane pauses for a moment and looks out straight ahead. "I just need time to think about it some more." Lane stands up and looks at Rory. "I think I'm going to head on back to the apartment. The guys wanted to talk about what song we should play at the showcase," she tells her.
"Okay. I'll call you later."
Lane smiled almost halfheartedly and walked off.
Rory went into the house where she saw Lorelai in the living room with a bunch of wigs and costume type of junk laying out everywhere.
Lorelai sees Rory come and she quickly puts on a blonde wig. She stands up, looks at Rory and says in a high pitched voice, "I caaaan't stand him."
"We are not reenacting 'Singing in the Rain'," Rory told her.
"Ah, come on. Lina Lamont is a classic."
"No"
"Fine. This wig is too curly for Lina Lamont anyway." Just then Lorelai saw a pink hair bow in the pile of junk and placed it on her blonde wig.
"Oh my gosh. I know what we can do," screamed out Lorelai.
"What?" Rory asked, "If you suggest 'The Old Man and the Sea' one more time I swear I'll disown you as my mother. I will never play the role of a fish. Never."
"Come on, that was a good idea. Luke would even let us borrow his fishing equipment and I could throw a rope to you and you place it in your mouth and flop around."
Rory just stares at her.
"Well, that's not what I was going to suggest, anyways." Lorelai grabs a darker wig and hands it to Rory. Rory takes the wig and looks at it.
"What am I suppose to with this?" she asked her mother.
"Put it on," Lorelai told her.
Rory placed the dark wig on her head and glanced at Lorelai. "Okay, now what?" she asked.
Lorelai with her blonde wig went over to Rory and took her by the arm.
"What are you doing?" Rory was getting annoyed.
"Just sit down."
Rory sat down. "Okay, I'm sitting. Now what."
Lorelai smiled at her. Then her faced turned serious. She starts to sing, "I written a letter to daddy and sent it to heaven above..."
"Oh! Oh! Oh! 'Whatever happened to Baby Jane? You're Baby Jane and I'm Blanche. I love it'," Rory shouted.
"Yeah, so now we both get to play crazy old broads."
"It's the greatest idea you ever heard."
"Even better then when we played out random scenes from 'The Searchers'?"
"Yes, I do believe that this is even better then that."
"Wow, well now that we picked out our movie, we just have to pick out a scene."
"How about the scene with the dead bird."
"We could but I think PETA would come after us."
"How about the final scene at the beach."
"Easy for you. You'll just lay there."
"True."
"Hee," Lorelai laughed.
"What?" Rory looked at her, trying to figure out what she was laughing about.
"I was just thinking about the crazy ass make job I'm going to have as Baby Jane. I wonder if Luke will ever want to kiss me ever again."
"Probably not."
"Hey..."
"Or maybe Luke's into crazy old broads. If that's the case, you're perfect for each other."
"You're so not funny."
"Aren't I, though?"
Rory took her wig off and went off to her room. She turned around and Lorelai stuck her tongue out at her.
"Really mature, mom."
"Yeah, well I do have Joan Crawford as my daughter. Hey, I guess this means we can do scenes from 'Mommy Dearest' next year."
"No!"
"You never let me have any fun."
"Goodnight, Betty," Rory called out to her.
"Goodnight, Joan," Lorelai responded.
Lorelai took off her wig and looked at it. She placed back on top of the pile. She head up the stairs humming the tune to 'I Written a Letter to Daddy.'
Author's note: I always wanted to see "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" reference on Gilmore Girls in a over the top way. I love that movie. In case you don't get the references, Betty is Betty Davis (who played Baby Jane) and as mentioned earlier Joan Crowford played Blanche. I recommend this movie to everyone. Make sure to watch it with a friend because it's just so funny. Hell, it's not even a comedy. "I Written a Letter to Daddy" was a song that Baby Jane sang when she was a child performer and later as an adult in an unforgettable scene.
Author's Note #2: There actually is a point to the whole Rory/Lane conversation. Stay tuned.
