A/N I finally finshed this chapter! I don't kow how it will turn out because I'm just writing whatever comes to mind. Excuse me if it's crap because it might not stay. I realize that this story is moving a bit fast, but it's just how I write. I don't like to linger on everything. The movie night happened because I didn't know what else to put. The kiss just fit, it being Jess and all. Yes they are in love and both know it, but it doesn't mean they plan on informing the other anytime soon. Moving fast is the way I write best. Thankyou to all reviewers. I got a good response and that makes me happy! Sorry again for it being OOC. On with the story!

Rory and Lorelai are on their way to the elder Gilmore's for their weekly Friday night dinner. In the last couple days Rory had managed to avoid Dean for the most part. She was still angry at him. He huet her, he didn't know Jess at all and knowing Rory thinking that she would go all the way with Jess when they just started going out. She used to deal with his jealousy, sure they'd fight, but they always made up. But now, he crossed a line. She still cared for him, evenif just as a friend, and it hurt. It felt like he stabbed her in her heart. Her first love thought that she was easy. She knew that she could never forgive him for that even if she wanted to.

Rory had spent some time with Jess and Lane. She did alot of studying too. Just trying to keep busy so the hurt wouldn't show. But she couldn't hide it from Lane or Lorelai. Not even Jess. Lorelai and Lane knew her so well. They said over and over again, if she needed to talk they would be there. But they didn't know what it felt like to have someone they were close to say something so hurtful and off base to them. Jess knew that she was upset even though she tried to hide it because he was the master of hiding his feelings. You learn to do that with a dad who runs off the day you're born and a flake mother who doesn't seem to give a damn about what you're doing as long as you're not in her way. He didn't know much about Dean's relationship with Rory other than they were "first loves" and were together for about a year and half. He didn't want to know much more than that. But he did know that what Dean thought of her was important. He wasn't into the whole talking thing so he just allowed her to pretend nothing was wrong and tried to get her to have fun and not let her mind wander to the pain. She was grateful that she wasn't getting sympathy just because 'she's the town princess' from him. The town knew about what Dean said to her and all she got was sympathy and she was sick of it. It's not like she's the only one who it's ever happened to, in alot of cases much worse. He treated her not like anything was wrong but like she didn't have to remind herself of it everyday just because it happened. It helped that she talked about it but she didn't want to dwell on it. Things happen, but that doesn't mean you stop living your life.

Lorelai parked in the drive way but didn't move to get out of the car. Rory didn't either. They both were wrapped up in their thoughts. Rory's about Jess and h ow he was either reading or working in the diner. Lorelai's about Rory. She knew Dean hurt her baby and she didn't like it. SHe wanted to beat the crap out of him. But Rory was doing pretty well. She talked a little but not much. Lorelai wished she would. She thought she should get it all out but she also knew that she didn't want to dwell and just wanted to move on. Lorelai decided if Rory wanted to talk she'd come to her, and until then she'd do what Rory was doing, try to move on from the pain, or in Lorelai's case anger and hatred. She finally got and Rory followed suit. They prepared themselves for 'gun' night in the Gilmore house of hell. "Ready mom?"

"Oh yeah, I just can't wait for the fun to begin!" Lorelai answered sarcastically. Rory smiled.

"Be nice!"

"But sweet daughter, I'm always nice."

"Always huh?"

"Of course."

"What about the time Gran came and you brought a camera to dinner."

"Most of the time."

"What about-"

"I get it. Now ring the bell."

"I did it last time."

"Nu-uh."

"Yu-huh."

"Nu-uh."

"Yu-huh."

"Nu-uh."

"Nu-uh"

"Yu-huh."

"Got you!"

"Evil evil girl. I knew you were mine. Who else would you have gotten your smarts from?"

"I always thought I got them from dad."

"Mean!"

"I got that from you. Now ring the door bell."

"Fine." She reached out and rang the bell and almost immediately a new maid answered the door. "Hi I'm Lorelai and this is Rory. We're here to-" She was cut off by Rory.

"Richard and Emily are expecting us for dinner." Lorelai gave her a dirty look. "You would have confused her just like you did to Gretta, Freda, and Henrietta."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"I'm Shoshana." The new maid said as she took their coats.

"That sounds Jewish."

"It is. Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore are waiting in the living room.

"Thankyou Shoshana." They walked into the living room where Richard was fixing a drink and Emily was fixing some flowers muddering under her breath about how nothing was done the way it's supposed to be done. "Hi mom, dad."

"Lorelai, Rory! Would you like annything to drink?"

"Gin martini with an olive please."

"Rory?"

"Coke please."

Shoshana walked into the room and announced dinner. "Thankyou Sharin."

"Mom, it's Shoshana."

"I could have sworn it was Sharin."

"I thought it was Samantha." Richard said handing Lorelai and Rory their drinks.

"Nope. It's Shoshana." Lorelai corrected as they sat down at the table and began dinner.

"Huh."

"Wow, de ja vu huh, Rory?" She just got a smile in response.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing, Grandpa. I just have a friend who likes to use the word 'huh' alot. It's pretty funny."

"And damn right annoying."

"Not to me."

"That's because he does'nt say it as much with you. It's like the only response I get." When Richard heard 'he' they had his attention. He didn't like Dean at all and was relieved when Rory said she'd broken up with him. He just hoped that they were seeing each other again.

"Not Dean right?" He asked. Rory's face fell slightly as what he said came back to her but she put on a fake smile.

"No, my friend Jess." Her smile became real as she thought of him again. She would tell them they were going out but she didn't want to have to drag Jess to dinner with her grandparents just yet. It was too soon in their relationship.

Lane was at the bottom of the stairs trying to get the nerve up to talk to her parents. She was going to tell them about Henry. Now all she had to do was move. 'C'mon already! First my right foot.' She stood still. 'Move!' Still nothing. 'Hmm... How about my left foot?' Not even a flinch. 'This is not hard. I've done it a million times. Come on, move!' She finally moved. Now all she had to do was tell her parents but who knew if her mouth was going to be stubborn or not.

She walked into the living/selling area where Mrs. Kim was polishing a chair. "Mama?"

"What is it Lane?"

"Can we sit?" She looked at Lane suspiciously but nodded. "Before you say anything let me finish first. I met a boy, Henry Cho. He's Korean, he wants to be a doctor, his parents go to church every Sunday, he's a counselor at bible camp and he likes me. Can I go out with him?" Her heart was racing a mile a minute. She was so scared that she'd say no. But it wasn't as hard as she thought it'd be.

"You sure he's Korean?"

"Yes mama."

"He come here first before any date, I must know where you are at all times, and he and his family come to dinner."

"Thankyou mama! Thankyou! I'm going to go call him right now!"

"You finish your homework?"

"Yes mama."

"All of it?"

"Yes mama."

"Go ahead." Lane ran upstairs with a huge smile plastered across her face. She was so happy and relieved that she could date Henry without going behind her mother's back. She was actually excited that she could finally go on an actual date with someone she picked out! Mrs. Kim was happy that Lane was going out with a potential Korean doctor. Well, at least as happy as Mrs. Kim can get.

It was now Monday. Rory and Lorelai had a John Cusack movie marathon on Saturday including Serendipity, Say Anything and Better Of Dead. SHe got to hangout with Lane on Sunday after bible study and Jess on Sunday night. They hungout on the bridge discussing and debating books, music, anything realy. She loved that she could talk about anything with him. Or just sit in a comfortable silence. She could talk to her mom sure. But it was different to be able to talk like that with her boyfriend. Yes, she had asked him.

Flashback

They were hanging out on the bridge when she finally decided to get the akward conversation over with. "Jess?" He was kissing her neck so all she got in response was a grunt. "What are we exactly?" He pulled away and smirked when he saw she was serious.

"What do you mean?"

She couldn't believe he was going to make her say it and sound like an idiot. "I mean are we a couple? Are we friends with benefits? Is this casual dating? What are-" He cut her off with a long, passionate kiss. His tounge demanded entry and she willingly gave in forgetting about what she was saying. She both hated and liked that he could do that. He pulled away and she pouted.

"We are not 'friends with benefits' and this is not casual dating so don't worry."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"What do you think we are?"

"Well, if I knew would I be asking you? If someone asks, do I tell then you're my boyfriend?"

"If someone asks do I tell them you're my girlfriend?"

"Yes." At first he thought she'd start the 'I asked first' 'No I did' thing. But was glad she answered. He didn't answer because, frankly, she was squirming and it was entertaining.

"Then yes."

"Good."

"So we're dne with this subject then?"

"Yup."

"Good, now where was I?" And he started kissing her neck again recieving a slight moan and happy he had that effect on her just as she did on him. He just hoped she didn't figure that out.

End of Flashback

Rory was at her granparents house to pick up a book her grandpa said he'd lend her. She went to the patio where Emily and her friends from the DAR were having tea. "Oh Rory, what a nice surprise."

"Hey Grandma. Sorry to butt in like this."

"Nonsense, come meet my friends. Ladies I'd like you to meet my graddaughter, Rory."

"Well, hello Rory." One of Emily's friends said.

"Nice to meet you."

"My goodness, what a pretty girl you are." Another friend said. Rory tried her best not to blush.

"She looks just like Lorelai doesn't she?"

"The eyes."

"The nose."

"Walk around sweetie." The first woman said.

"Leave the girl alone."

"I just wana see her walk. Lorelai had such a specific walk."

"Fast."

"That was it." Rory tried not to laugh. Lorelai had told her that whenever her mother's friends were there she'd walk just fast enough to get away quickly but not to look suspicious.

"Come. Would you like some tea?" Emily asked.

"Oh no, I just came to pick up a book Grandpa was supposed to leave for me." She didn't feel like staying any longer than she had to.She realy just wanted to go to Luke's, get coffee and see Jess.

"Go check his study. It might be on his desk." She gladly left the patio and went inside. She didn't like to be the center of attention. She found the book easily and went back on the patio to say 'bye.

When she went back out her grandma seemed to be thinkning something over and the next thing she knows, they're making he try on Lorelia's old debutante dress. She looked like a ball of white fur. Literaly

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

When she went into Luke's she saw a cup of coffee being poured at the counter for her by Jess. "Did you know that you are a god?" He leaned over the counter for a kiss.

"Your mom tells me that when I give her coffee."

"In that case I'm just reminding you." She took a long sip and savored it.

"Long day?"

"Eh..."

"What happened?"

"I'm coming out."

"Out of what?"

"Into society. My grandma is making me do this debutante ball thing presenting me as a woman to society." She took out a pamphlet and gave it to him. "Read."

"Why?"

"Because you're taking me?"

"How dressed up?"

"Read." He flipped through and stopped on a page and read.

"Gloves?"

"'Fraid so."

"No way."

"Please?"

"No."

"I'll help out with shifts here. Less work for you, more time with me..."

He thought it over for a minute and sighed. "When is it?"

"I love you!" She realized what she had said. "I mean thankyou for doing this for me, not I love you. Not that I don't but-"

He loved seeing her get worked up like this but figured he should stop her before she had a meltdown or bolted. "It's okay Rory. I know what you meant. So when is it?"

"This Saturday."

"So when do your shifts start?" There were three reasons he agreed. One, it's Rory and he would have said yes eventualy. Two, more time with her. And three, he didn't have to take Ms. Patty's order when she was there, therefore no pinching. From Ms. Patty.

A/N I know not much added but it's what I got so far. I loved 'Presenting Lorelai' so I decide to put the debutante ball in. Some of the dialogue is from the actuaL episode. And the idea of Rory working in the diner I got from ILoveJess1. Tell me what you think because I don't know what to thin about this chapter. I don't know when I'll update again and my other story is on hold so don't wait ofr an update on that. This fic is nowhere near done. I at least want to get 10 chapters and I'll have more time to wirte after schools out. Sorry for lack of updates. Please REVIEW!
