Chapter 8: A guy thing

AN: I am back, with a new chapter… Review:

meagan4dominic: Thanks for reviewing again! You're officially my number 1 reviewer… Shame we can't both marry Sawyer though…

I'm really sorry it took so long, I've been having major writers block on this.

I totally own Lost and Gilmore Girls. IN MY HEAD! Not in real life, don't sue me! I don't own 'Girlfriend', by Nsync and Nelly. I just thought it would be fun that the guys would perform it… Just think of the look on Sawyer's face.

On with the story…

--An hour earlier--

"No frigging way," Jess said, looking grumpy. "There is no way I am going to perform that song! I mean, it's a frigging boyband!"

Sawyer couldn't hide a smile as the younger guy looked disgusted. He also hated the band, but apparently Jack, Sayid and Charlie loved it. Luke wasn't too fond of it too.

"Let's just get it over with Jess," Luke said. "Who is going to sing which part of the song?"

That silenced Charlie, who was talking loudly about how much he loved the band and how they were such a big influence on Driveshaft. Sawyer couldn't believe that, cause there were no similarities between the bands at all. That's Charlie for ya, he thought.

--Present time—

"So guys," Claire asked Jess. "What song are you going to perform?"

Jess was still not happy with the choice of the song. It had taken Jack and Charlie about half an hour to convince him to agree with it. He reluctantly agreed.

Rory and Lorelai would be able to mock him for eternity after this, but he know Rory would also love it. So he just did it for his girlfriend.

"I want to remember everyone this was NOT my choice," Jess said. "But Charlie really wanted to perform N'Sync's Girlfriend featuring Nelly."

All the girls started laughing, but when Jess saw Rory's smile, it was okay with him. He was doing this for her, he remembered.

"Show me what you've got," Shannon managed to choke out between her giggles.

Luke had agreed to start the music, Jess remembered. He really didn't want to dance (well, that made two of them), but he did it for Lorelai. Hopeless case, he had teased Luke.

Charlie: "Check it
He don't want you like I want you believe me boo I been told
He don't appreciate you, ma, I can tell by the way he hold you
He don't love you like I do love you
He don't squeeze you like I squeeze
I'll make your neck pop back and in fact I'll buckle your knees (hey)
Okay, baby what's it gon' take for you to be my lady (tell me right now)
I hear your friends say you should
Your parents tell you what's good
Your lil' sista' keep yellin' Charlie, I wish you would"

The girls shared a look at his rapping, Charlie couldn't help but notice. He just couldn't see what kind of look it was. Was it a look of disgust? A look of amusement? He didn't knew.
"But you hesitatin debatin' whether or not it's real
I ain't shootin game, boo, I'm just tellin you how I feel
I'm diggin everything about you
Your hips an' the way the swing
I hate to see you leave boo, but let us see ya all the way"

This was the part where the singing was going to come in, Luke thought. He was glad he wasn't the one who would start singing; James would start.
"I'll be your personal shrink boo I care what ya think
I bought the Bentely in pink cuz my dough in sync
So tell ya man bye bye and tell 'em you're long (gone)
Ain't no needin' wait up you done found you another (home)"

His part was coming up now, James thought. He looked at his beautiful girlfriend and smiled at her, surprised at his own corniness.
Sawyer: "I don't know why you care
He doesn't even know you're there
'Cause he don't love your eyes
And he don't love your smile
Girl you know that ain't fair"

Now, a piece of them singing together was coming up, Sayid thought. He was happy that he didn't have to sing something all by himself just yet. He was an okay singer, but Shannon was so much better than him. Still, he had a part coming up.
All: "In the middle of the night
Is he gonna be by your side?
Or will he run and hide?
You don't know cause things ain't clear
And baby when you cry
Is he gonna stand by your side?
Does the man even know you're alive?"

Jack was glad with his part; not too much, but he had some solo lines.

Jack: "I got an idea"
Luke was sure Lorelai was going to mock him at his part coming up. First, the guys had wanted him to do a part of the rap, with his backwards baseball cap and all. But he preferred singing above rapping, so he would have a singing part.
All: "Why don't you be my girlfriend
I'll treat you good
I know you hear your friends when they say you should
'Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one to show you where you are
Girl you should be my girlfriend"

Jess was sure that Luke would be mocked about him singing this song. But then again, he also had to sing a part himself, and he would most definitely get mocked about that. But if everything went as he thought it would go, it would make Rory turn twenty shades of pink. Oh, this was going to be nice, Jess thought. Very nice.
Luke: "Does he know what you feel
Are you sure that it's real yeah
Does he ease your mind
Or does he break your stride?
Did you know that love could be a shield yeah"

Finally, his part was over, Luke thought. When he looked at his girlfriend smiling at him, he couldn't help but smile back at her. He really loved Lorelai.

All: "In the middle of the night
Is he gonna be by your side?
Or will he run and hide?
You don't know cause things ain't clear
And baby when you cry
Is he gonna stand by your side?
Does the man even know you're alive?"

Jack had his line coming up again, but he wasn't nervous anymore. He was glad the whole dancing thing had been abandoned. At least, he thought it was, until he saw the rest of the group in their agreed positions for the dance to the chorus. Oh no, he thought.

Jack: "I got an idea"
James was glad he got to choose the moves for this dance, and not Charlie. Because if Charlie did choreography, this thing would look horrible, like a Driveshaft video. And that really wasn't an option, James thought.
All: "Why don't you be my girlfriend
I'll treat you good
I know you hear your friends when they say you should
'Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one to show you where you are
Girl you should be my girlfriend"

Sayid was really happy with the dancing part. It looked nice. But he was a bit nervous about his rapping. He had never rapped before, but he would give it a shot.
Sayid: "Need a fiance', cute as Beyonce,
Ghetto like Da Brat
Ready to scrap when I say
The talents of Alicia, the fall Ms. Keys
Take the hips off-a Trina
The lips off Eve
I put ya so high on a pedestal, it might make ya nose bleed
So much ice around ya ankles, and watch ya toes freeze
Whats wrong, ma? Ya man ain't brining ya jewelry?
Don't trip flip ya scrip to a country boy
Now c'mon"

This thing was coming to an end, Charlie thought. Now only the Jess-guy had a solo, and there were some group bits. It was going to be just fine.
Jess: "Ever since I saw your face
Nothing in my life has been the same
I walk around just saying your name
Without you my world would end, yeah
I've searched around this whole damn place
And everything says you were meant to be
My girlfriend... oh"

Jess had gone on his knees while singing that, pleading to Rory to believe him. Pleading to her to make him her boyfriend. And he was very happy when she blushed and smiled at him; because it meant that she liked him. At least, he thought so.
All: "Why don't you be my girlfriend
I'll treat you good
I know you hear your friends when they say you should
'Cause if you were my girlfriend
I'd be your shining star
The one to show you where you are
Girl you should be my girlfriend"

Luke looked at his nephew being quite the drama king. Then, he looked at his girlfriend, who was giggling, and looking at Rory. He looked at the girl he considered his daughter at times, and smiled at the blush on her face. Rory really seemed to like Jess.
All: "Girl you should be my girlfriend
Ahh... you make my heart sing
Ahh... you make my heart sing
Ahh... my baby, baby, yeah you make my heart sing
Ahh... girl you should be my girlfriend
Girl you should be my girlfriend
Girl you should be my girlfriend
Girl you should be my girlfriend..."

And that was the end of the song. The performance was over, and if it was magic, everyone but the people living in Stars Hollow were gone. Like it happened in cliché movies or cliché fanfiction, James thought. But it was okay with him.

"Would you be my girlfriend," Jess asked Rory, almost as if teasing her.

"Of course," she blushed. "Let's go to the bridge for a while."

The teenagers left, leaving two other happy couples in the house, until Luke and Lorelai decided it would be nice to have some private time now and left.

Claire and James were the only ones left in the house, except for Aaron, who was still asleep – amazingly enough.

AN: Okay, I hope y'all liked that chapter… I finally managed to complete it.. I also hope the next chapter will be done soon, but don't count on that… I have more fics to write… Gilmore Girls fics… Cause I just LOOOOVE Stars Hollow :smile:

Anyway, what do you think? Tell me in a review… HINT, HINT
