Plans of Reunion

Summary: The S.H.B.A., S.H.T.B., S.H.N.W.O., S.H.C.C.S.H.C., aka Taylor, want the town sweethearts together again. When he mentions it at a town meeting, everyone starts plotting, and Miss Patty has a plan that just might work. Narco future fic.

Pairing: Rory/Dean with mentioned Luke/Lorelai.

Disclaimer: If I were Amy Sherman-Palladino I'd have better things to do than write fan fiction. And you'd be seeing this story unfold onscreen soon. Well, actually you wouldn't, because Rory and Dean would never have broken up in the first place, so the town wouldn't need to plot to get them back together.

Dean walked into Miss Patty's, and saw Rory standing there, looking uncomfortable, just as she had a little over two years earlier.

Flashback

"Hey"

"Hey"

"I'm glad you called."

"Me too."

"Everything okay at home?"

"Yeah. Everything's okay."

"Good. Did I ever tell you I like your hair?"

"My hair?"

"Your shorter hair."

"It's grown out a little."

"I like it."

"I like it, too."

they kiss

"So, um, you wanted to talk?"

"Yeah, talk. Words, wow." they kissed harder, more passionately. She pulled on his shoulders, coaxing him down onto the floor of the studio.

End Flashback

"Dean? Rory?" Miss Patty's voice broke them out of their daydreams. One look at each other's faces told them they'd been thinking about the same thing. "Are you ready to get started, sweethearts?"

"Um, yeah. Yeah, sure." Dean said, shaking his head as if he could get the memory out of his head.

"Let's go." Rory said, stepping tentatively towards him.

"Excellent. Let's see how much you two remember."

They didn't remember very much, as neither of them had done it in years, and neither of them had been very good in the first place. They barely talked through the whole practice.

"I've got to get back to school," Rory said after the two most awkward hours she had ever spent. Dean frowned. Shouldn't she have already graduated? He wanted to ask her why she hadn't, but he decided that he shouldn't. The first thing he said to her shouldn't seem like an attack.

"I need to get back to Doose's," he said. Rory frowned. He could do so much more with his life than work for Taylor's little grocery store. Why was he still wasting his potential? She wanted to ask him why he was, but she decided against it. The first thing she said to him shouldn't seem like an attack.
