Author's Note – I'm not sure if I said this already but this takes place during the summer so no school. I'm not really the type of person who shops at stores like the ones in this chapter and some of them I made up just so you know I'm a person who goes to Hot Topic, Forever 21, Blue Anchor and others. Please enjoy this chapter and thank you to all who reviewed.
Purplelollipop17 – he will get beat up by Jess at lest once or twice.
CoffeeJunkee06 – I agree he is good on Supernatural but I hate him on Gilmore Girls. He will get hurt emotionally as well as physically.
Jessroxmysox – I would but I prefer to write it the way I do, but thank for the idea.
Lizzy11120 – I loved it when she told him to get out as well, also I enjoyed writing the whole Luke and Jess thing. It just goes to show that everyone does have a soft side.
Previously on So Close But Yet So Far –
After the movie Dean asked, "So what have you been up to all week?"
"Oh nothing much just stuff." Rory said
"Ok, so what was with the 'Miss Juvenile Delinquent daughter' thing about?" Dean asked both Gilmore Girls.
"Oh…" Rory started but Lorelai said something before.
"She threw French fries at everyone during town meeting tonight."
"What? You actually did that?" Dean asked
"Yup." Rory answered
"Hey I'm going to go up to bed I have to be at the inn early tomorrow. Night Dean, night babe." Lorelai said and walked up the stairs after Rory and Dean said good night to her.
"You did that by yourself?" Dean asked Rory.
"I well um…not exactly by myself." Rory said knowing where this was heading.
"Who helped you and thought of the idea?" Dean questioned hoping that it wasn't Jess.
"Oh, well I came up with it and my mom and …Jess helped me." Rory said whispering the last part.
"Jess?" Dean asked
"Yeah, so what he's my friend."
"Come on Rory you pulled a prank on the town. You would never do that. He probably forced you to help him."
"No he didn't force my and again it was my idea. Also how would you know if I would ever pull a prank? I might have thought about it a lot." Rory said
"It's not you, you would never do anything like that… I don't want you hanging around him." Dean said the were both standing up now."
"Excuse me, you can't tell me who I can and can't hang around with and I'm sick of being 'Stars Hollow's Town Princess'."
"Rory I don't want you hanging around him it's for your own good. Now promise me you won't I don't want him to get you into trouble."
"He wouldn't do that he's my friend."
"He's not your friend he just wants to get into your pants." Dean said
"Get out." Rory said
"What?"
"You heard me get out of this house right now I don't want to be around you right now." Rory said and she walked over to the foyer and opened the front door.
"Rory..." Dean started as he followed her.
"Don't just leave." Rory said and he left thinking, 'God I hate that bastard. He his changing Rory and I won't let him get away with that.'
Chapter Eight - Shopping Time Part 1
Rory had, had a restless night of sleep thinking about the weeks' events and how she was free and happy but was now pressured and upset. A part of her thinking it was because of Dean. She had finally just gotten about 6 hours of rest when Lorelai bounced on her bed jolting her awake.
"What the hell? Why are you up at…" Rory whined and looked at the clock and continued "7:00 a.m.? Not to mention on a Saturday."
"Because we have to go shopping today." Lorelai said
"Mom as much as I love shopping but what are we shopping for?" Rory asked
"Well last night we were suppose to have Friday night dinner with your grandparents but they are having a function thingy and Emily gave me her credit card and said to get proper clothing for the social event. I think that was how she said it and then said to buy some other things that we wanted." Lorelai said making up the last part but Rory was to tired to argue.
"Fine I'm up give me a while to get ready." Rory said slow getting up from her bed.
"Ok but hurry!" Lorelai said and left the room.
Rory had taken a shower and was now dressed in dark blue denim pants and a purple short-sleeved shirt and her hair pulled back into a ponytail. Lorelai wore blue pants and a pink short-sleeved shirt but with her hair down.
"Ok to Luke's!" Lorelai shouted as she and Rory left the house and got into the jeep and headed for the diner.
Luke's Diner
Both Gilmore's entered and sat at the counter and Rory put her head on the counter and said, "Luke coffee now! It's too early to be awake and not have caffeine in my system it's dangerous."
Luke looked at both of them and was shocked that they were up at this time on a Saturday. "Aren't you the one who always asks for coffee like that?" Luke asked Lorelai and she said, "Yes but we are going shopping today and I'm more happy about it then she is."
Luke just shook his head and poured them both coffees. Again shocked at the time they were in the diner so he had even checked his clock twice just to make sure he wasn't imagining it all.
After finishing her coffee in one large gulp Rory was up and said, "Luke can I have some pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles plus a lot more of coffee?"
"Me too." Lorelai said
"Fine." Luke said and gave Ceasar their order and Jess came down from behind the curtain wearing a black Metallica shirt, blue jeans and of course tons of gel in his hair to make it all spiky but still looking half asleep.
"Did I just look like that a while ago?" Rory asked her mother.
Lorelai nodded then said, "Minus the hair and everything that he is wearing because you would never where that and yeah."
"About time you got down here." Luke said towards Jess.
"Well sorry if I'm like normal people who like to sleep in on Saturdays." Jess said then saw Rory and Lorelai there and looked at the clock and asked. "Is that clock working right?"
"Trust me I was just as shocked when they came in at this time also." Luke said and then continued. "Get to work go unpack the new delivery we got." Jess just mumbled something and left into the storage room.
"Well he is definitely not a morning person." Lorelai commented sarcastically.
"Coming from captain obvious." Rory said sarcastically. Then Luke brought then their food and said, "I don't know why I even bother but you two are going to kill yourselves by the ay you eat and drink coffee."
"We know but that is why we should enjoy what we have left of our lives." Lorelai said.
He shook his head and walked away after they had finished eating they paid and left heading for the Hartford shopping center.
Hartford Shopping Center (a.k.a. the mall)
When the got there they had headed for the first store they saw which happened to be Gowns and Dresses for all occasions.
"Ok lets first find what we need for Grandma's party thing." Rory said
"Well then we are in the wrong store." Lorelai said
"And what would be the right store?" Rory asked
"Hot Topic and other places like Wal-Mart because everyone knows that is so the way to go." Lorelai said smiling
"Yeah it is the way to go if we plan on making grandma having a heart attack and yell at us." Rory said and Lorelai was going to retort to that but Rory said, "Don't even say anything lets just get what we need and go shop for other things."
"Fine" Lorelai said and pouted
"Don't forget we have her credit card and she will check on where we went so if it'll make you happy we can go to Hot Topic and get something that grandma won't like."
"Yes!" Lorelai said while jumping up and down like a 5 year old.
"Come on." Rory said rolling her eyes as they searched for something to wear.
"How about this?" Rory asked holding up a dress that was a cream color and looked like it was made make in 1902 or something.
"Yes, if you plan on looking like you came back from the dead." Lorelai responded and Rory put the dress on the rack.
"Ok here I found something for the both of us. What do you think? Will I look good in this and make your grandmother somewhat upset?" Lorelai said and she held up a dark purple short dress that ended up about a little over her knee. "Plus it's all sparkly so that's a bonus." Lorelai continued.
"I think it will look good on you. Now what do you have for be?" Rory said
"Well thanks for taking your time to congratulate be on my such good finding skills." Lorelai started but stopped when Rory gave her a look that told her to just hurry up.
"Ok here it is what do you think?" Lorelai said and held up a black skirt that went to about the top of her calf and a black shirt long sleeve shirt with a V- neck in it and had blue swirls here and there.
"I like it ok can we go now?" Rory asked
"What's the hurry?" Lorelai asked.
"I want to get to the book store before it closes." Rory said
"I should have know, ok how about we go shop at those places like Forever 21, Blue Anchor and then go to the little jewelry stores Icing and Claire's then Hot Topic and we will have an hour or so too look through the book store ok?" Lorelai said as they paid for the outfits.
"Ok that sounds good." Rory agreed and they headed off toward the stores.
After shopping at the two clothing stores both girls had each gotten a pair of pajamas.
Lorelai's were a pair of black pajama bottoms that had little coffee mugs filled with coffee on them and the tank top that was a hot pinkish color and on the front said 'I'm The Coffee Queen' written in black. Rory had gotten the same thing except her top was blue and said, 'I'm The Coffee Princess'.
"I can't believe we found those I think it was destiny for us I'm telling you." Lorelai said while she and Rory showed each other the rest of their clothes they had gotten.
Rory had gotten a dark blue denim skirt with a matching shirt but I was a lighter shade of blue. A black shirt with pink and purple flowers on the bottom left corner of it. Then she had gotten a plain pair of black denim jeans and a plain black long sleeved shirt. Lorelai hadn't noticed because Rory had gone after her to pay for everything. She had gotten it incase she would need it for future outs that might involve Jess during the middle of the night.
Lorelai had gotten a purple shirt with 'Hello Kitty' on it, a pair on jeans and a Bangles t-shirt. But as they had been heading for the door Lorelai had to go back and buy each of them pink bunny slippers.
"Ok let's go to Claire's now." Lorelai said, she and Rory headed toward Claire's.
Claire's
When they got there. There was a girl about Rory's age getting a third piercing in her ear and it was the top part of her ear. "Come we are doing that." Lorelai said.
"What?" Rory asked with wide eyes looking at her mother as if she was crazy.
"We are getting our ears pierced but not on the top part like she is." Lorelai said and pulled Rory with her closer to the earring section and started looking for something she liked.
"Uh mom you do know we already have our ears pierced right?" Rory said hoping that would be the end of it but it wasn't.
"Yes, but we don't have two ear piercing on each ear and that's what we are getting unless you want a belly button ring instead." Lorelai said and grinned evilly at her daughter.
"Is there any chance of me getting out of this?" Rory whined
"Nope" Lorelai said
"Ok then" Rory said defeated and she and Lorelai both started looking for earrings that they liked.
Lorelai had picked a pair of earrings with coffee mugs on them and a pair that had little black guitars on them. While Rory had gotten the coffee mugs and a pair that had an angel's halo on one and the devil's horns on the other.
"Ok so we are buying they for later on and both getting the white stud earring to get them pierced with right?" Rory asked Lorelai
"Yup. Excuse um we would like to get our ears pierced can you help us.
"Sure so what kind do you want?" a girl asked that had her name tag that said, 'Kayla' on it.
"For both of us to have that kind of earring for a second hole please." Lorelai said while pointing towards what they wanted.
"Ok both of you take a seat." Kayla said and they girls sat down on chairs next to each other as another girl came over. Her nametag said, 'Sarah' on it.
"Ok just so you know this might hurt a little." Sarah had said to Rory while Kayla said the same thing to Lorelai. When they both got the first ear pierced the both yelped and silently cursed under their breath. They did the same thing when their other ear was pierced as well.
