"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.
Chapter Nine - Return of the Floppy Haired Jerk part 2
Stars Hollow
Jess had just gotten of working at the diner and he was heading for the bridge when Dean stopped him in the middle of the town square.
"What did you do to her?" Dean asked towering over Jess but it seemed to have no affect on Jess except annoy him.
"What?" Jess said knowing he was talking about Rory.
"How did you force her into doing what she did with you to the town? Did you threaten her or drug her?" Dean asked. That had angered Jess very much and now he was keeping himself from hitting Dean.
"No! I didn't do any of that and I never would. She chose to do that and I don't think it's any of your business bagboy. Now why don't you go off and talk with all of your dumb assed basketball friends who main words in their vocabulary are 'dude' and 'cool'" Jess said
"It is my business you're an influence on her she is too nice to you and you are using that to turn her into some delinquent. But of course what should we except from a good for nothing scumbag who is a low life, going to be a high school drop out guy who has deadbeat parents and lives with is good for nothing uncle. Who's wasting his time trying to fix you when you're going to screw up anyway." Dean said.
That's when Jess punched him square in the face making Dean stumble back a little. When Jess had punched him he heard something make a cracking noise.
"You fucking bastard." Dean said he now had bloody nose and rushed toward Jess and nailed him in the face on his right cheek.
"Don't you ever talk about any one in my family or who I care about like that again you jack ass." Jess said not knowing where that had come from but he sucker punched Dean in the stomach and Dean leaned over and Jess pushed him to the floor and got two good hits in until Dean rolled over and hit Jess a few good times both yelling at each other and cursing each other.
Town members had crowded around them Babette, Miss Patty and Kirk watching while listening to what they were saying. Others trying to get them away from each but couldn't. Both boys making blows at each other Jess was going to have a less amount of bruises because he had more experience when it came to fighting and self defense.
"Break it up gentlemen break it up!" Taylor yelled and Luke rushed in and tried pulling Jess of Dean and couldn't so he pulled Dean off of Jess and said, "Alright everybody leave now." Holding both of the collars of their shirts away from each other. Both boys giving each other death glares and trying to hit another once more.
"Jess diner now!" Luke said and gave Jess a little push. Then looked at Dean "Dean go home or away from here now and I suggest you stay away from the diner if you don't want any more bruises on your face."
Dean headed home after Luke said that to clean him self up not knowing that he looked like shit. Luke headed into the diner and up to the apartment and found Jess sitting at the table with a pack of ice on the right side of his face.
Luke's Diner
"What happened?" Luke asked
Jess looked up and Luke and sighed then said, "First off he started it and I know it sounds like a little kid thing to say but it's true."
"Ok so what happened?"
"I was walking when he comes up and asks me if I threatened Rory into pulling the prank at town meeting or if I drugged her. Which I didn't do either and I never would." Jess said pacing back and forth how Luke does not realizing it and he continued,
"Then he started going on about that I was a scum bag and a low-life saying Liz and Jimmy are deadbeats. Now I'm not going to disagree about that but he had no right and then going off about you wasting your time with me and you were good for nothing or something like that he was lucky that I didn't cause permanent damage to him. I don't know why I was so bothered y it either I usually could care less but all of a sudden...ah I don't know." Jess said
Then he thought he had just rambled. "I just rambled I never rambled. Jeez this town, Lorelai and Rory are starting to rub off on be great I'm rambling again Jess Mariano doesn't ramble!" Jess said and sat down on the couch and muttered "My head hurt, god I have been hanging around her to much." to himself but Luke heard.
"Hey well you might have just rambled yourself out of trouble because I'm not mad at you, just at that jackass." Luke said
"I'm not going to screw up you know?" Jess said still with his head in his hands.
"Yeah I know anyway you can have the rest of the day off. But by the way you think you look bad you should see Dean." Luke said
"Call him bagboy." Jess mumbled to himself and again Luke heard. He shook his head while smiling somewhat and headed back downstairs.
Hartford Shopping CenterAfter they had gotten there ears pierced they deicide to go to bookstore first and then to Hot Topic Rory was happy because she had just bought three bags full of books. They had gone to put the stuff in the jeep and where now entering Hot Topic. Lorelai more excited then Rory.
"So many things to chose from to upset your grandmother and yet so little time" Lorelai stated and started looking around while heavy metal music was playing.
"Mom do we have to be here?" Rory asked feeling out of her element.
"Yes and you have to buy something to and not just something random." Lorelai said as she was looking at the shirts.
"Rory come look I at what I found!" Lorelai said
"What?" Rory asked and saw the t-shirt her mother was looking at it as black had had a skull with a snake going threw it.
"Your grandmother would die from seeing me wear this I have to get it." Lorelai smiled
"Mom you can't"
"Why?"
"Because that will be the last thing grandma ever sees come on look at something else.
"Fine" Lorelai pouted then squealed.
"What now mom?" Rory asked
"Napoleon Dynamite Rory I have to get this and this and that!" Lorelai said pointing at shirts and posters.
Rory just shook her head at her mother and looked around when she saw a Metallica shirt it was a dark shade of red shirt with black long sleeves looking as if it was another shirt under it and to her it had Jess's name written all over it she had to get it for him.
So she grabbed one and smiled proud of her self for finding something then saw another band shirt but it had the Rolling Stones on it and she had to get that one for Lane. She had found the place to shop for Lane and Jess when she wanted too get them something.
"Rory have you found anything yet?" Lorelai asked walking up to Rory and seeing the Rolling Stones shirt and no t the Metallic one hidden underneath it.
"Well I found this for Lane." Rory said
"But know lets find something for you." Lorelai said and looked around until she saw something. "Here." Lorelai said and handed Rory a shirt. Rory sighed and looked at what the shirt was.
"Harry Potter?" Rory asked her mother
"Yup I mean they might be a little to young for be but there are still some hot guys in those movies and here they are on a shirt it's perfect." Lorelai said smiling.
"Fine" Rory said
"Yes ok let's pay for these, oh wait you pay first I want another thing for myself." Lorelai said.
Rory sighed and paid for her three shirts and waited for her mother to pay as well. But she wandered off into the bookstore again and bought another book and smiled. She had left the bookstore as Lorelai left Hot Topic with bags full of posters, shits, and little pins to put on her clothes.
"Ok lets get going." Rory said but she and Lorelai saw a candy shop and ran into it buying tons of candy and making there own giant tubes of pixie sticks planning on eating then in front of Luke.
They both had picked to eat Chinese food at the food court and where now sitting and talking when Lorelai asked, "So what happened with you and Dean last night?" regretting it when she saw Rory's smile instantly replaced with a frown part scowl.
"He started going on about how I wouldn't do something like that and he didn't want me to hang around Jess the only reason Jess was hanging around me was to get into my pants and tons of things so I told him to leave." Rory rambled to her mother and then said, "Are you done eating yet?"
"Yeah come on lets go home." Lorelai said and Rory only nodded as they headed outside towards the jeep.
Ride back to Stars Hollow
Rory and Lorelai had been listening to music when Rory's cell phone went off.
"Who is it?" Lorelai asked while Rory turned down the volume on the radio.
"Grandma, oh joy this will be fun" Rory said sarcastically while sighing then answered her phone and said, "Grandma hey why are you calling?" Rory asked in a fake polite way but clearly annoyed and it slightly amused Lorelai.
"What, I have to have a reason to call my granddaughter now?" Emily asked
"No I'm sorry grandma." Roy answered.
"Well good. Anyway have you and your mother gone to get your outfits for the event tonight?" Emily asked
"Yup we are on our way home from the mall right now."
"Mall? Which mall did you go to?" Emily asked. 'So she is fearing that we had gone to a cheap place to get there clothes. What would her friends think.' Rory thought and chuckled slightly.
"Rory why are you laughing do you find this matter amusing to you? Please tell me you didn't go to one of those cheap stores." Emily said
"No an we didn't we
went to the Hartford Shopping Center."
Rory said, "Would you
like to talk to mom?"
"No I must be going I want both of you here by 6:45 tonight not a minute later." Emily said even thought the party started at 7:00.
"Ok bye grandma." Rory said and hung up. "Mommy she makes me tired just by talking to her." Rory complained
"I know Hun I had to live with her for 15 years." Lorelai answered. While wondering why the sudden change of attitude for Rory toward Emily and Richard.
