Disclaimer: you know the drill…..
The next day Rory called Paris to see if she could reschedule but she told her not to worry and let her off the hook, she figured she was probably is such a good mood because of Jamie.
"Ok I guess I can be your dance partner tomorrow mom, Paris just let me off the hook" she sat down next to Loralai
"Oh yay! do we need to practice because I really don't want to lose this year! I don't think I could stand any more or Kirk's taunting!"
"We will be fine, I have to go meet Lane, Dave, and Dean. Oh Mrs. Kim is gonna call to see if Lane is here and spending the night so when she calls just tell her that we went to bed early and that Lane will meet her at the booth tomorrow. We will be back early so don't worry about us waking up" she got up and went to her room
" Yeah sure hold on Dean! Wait…are you two.." Loralai got up and fallowed her
"Just friends, don't get any ideas mom!" she applied more eyeliner ran a brash through her hair real quick and grabbed some lip gloss.
"I'm not its just that one day you two cant stand to see each other the other you are hanging out m just a little confused!" she explained
"Yeah I know but we talked the other day and worked things out" she slipped on her shoes and walked out of her room
"Does he understand that you just want to be friends?"
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I mean I have not been leading him on or anything….look mom this is crazy we are just going to see a movie and grad some pizza after that's all"
"Ok I was just making sure…go have fun" she handed her some money and gave her a hug
"I'll be home early night mom" she kissed her cheek and ran out the door.
Rory went over to the Kim's so she could pick Lame up with out Mrs. Kim asking to many questions, after that they headed out to the movies.
"Do I look ok?" lane asked as they got out of the car
"Lane you look fine! Calm down just breath!" Rory shut the door and began walking towards the theater
"You're right I need to relax and just breath Dave is a cool guy I mean he is not going to care what I have on right?"
"Right" Rory looped her arm through hers
"Wait is what I have on ok?" she panicked
Rory just rolled her eyes "Come on" she dragged her to the entrance
After the movie the movie and Pizza Lane and David went off and took a walk leaving Rory and Dean alone together.
"So how is your mom?" Dean asked as they walked along the street
"She is good, ya know crazy as usually but good" she smiled and looked over at him
"That's good, has she found any one to dance with tomorrow?"
"Yeah actually I got suckered into being her partner" she laughed
"Really? Wow how did she do that?"
"Oh she has her ways!" she joked
He laughed as well "Well I'll stop by and watch you guys and see how you are doing" he started
He then stopped walking and looked at her "If that is ok with you of course"
She smiled and nodded "Yeah that would be fine"
"Ok" he smiled at her wrapped his arm around her waist and began walking again. Rory was a bit taken back. She was a bit uncomfortable Dean used to do that all the time when they were dating but it seemed a little bit inappropriate right now. In fact he been doing a lot of things that he used to do while they were dating that seemed inappropriate to do now that they were not dating. She looked at her watch and said " Oh wow it's getting late we have to get up early tomorrow we should be going" she pulled her self out of deans grasp " I guess I'll see you later" she gave him a quick one arm hug and began to walk away.
"Hold on!" he called out "I'll walk with you till you find Lane and Dave he smiled
"No really it's ok I mean I know where they are so it's no problem." she tried to walk a bit faster
"It's ok I like walking with you" he took her hand in his and they walked over to Lane and Dave who were kissing behind a tree.
A little later Lane and Rory were back in her car and headed back home.
"Tonight went well don't you think" Lane beamed as they got into the car
"Yeah but Dean seemed to be a little grabby" she commented as she backed out
"Really? I mean you don't think that he still thinks you guys are going out do you?"
"I really don't know but I really hope he doesn't I mean I don't want to have to go through that again"
"Yeah that would suck…"
"Soooo tell me how did things go with you and Dave, judging by the looks of the kiss you guys shared behind the tree things looked pretty intense!" Rory asked changing the subject real fast
"It was amazing! Ok you have no idea how incredibly smart he is! He also has great taste in music!" lane gushed
"Wow sound like you two were made for each other!"
"I know but the only thing that might be an issue, with my mom that is I could care less but to my mom it really matters" she looked down
" What's that?" she asked looking over at her really quick
"He is not Korean" she answered quietly
"Oh"
"Yeah I mean I could care less but to my mom its really important!" she sighed and looked out the window
"Don't worry Lane we'll think of something I promise" she reassured her
"Thanks" she smiled at her
In the early hours of the morning Loralai walked into Rory's room in her rode and hair curlers
"Wake up! Come one! We need to get a move on!" she ran back out of the room back to hers
"God I have no idea how I am going to do this? Dance for hours? Could you please shoot me?" she groaned and barred her face into her pillow.
"I would but then I think your mom would shoot me for shooting her dance partner and losing the only chance she had for winning" Lane flopped back on her back.
"Are you two up?" Loralai yelled
"Yes!" Rory yelled back as she swung her legs over the bed and began to get ready.
"Why does it have to be so early?" Rory yawned as they made their was to the gymnasium.
"I really don't know but lets just sign in then go see Luke, he has COFFEE" Loralai pulled her to the sign up table.
"Ohhhh coffee, coffee is good I like coffee" she dragged her feet
After signing up the girls made their way to Luke's table
"Coffee must have coffee" Loralai said once they made their way to the table.
"Yeah well it's not ready yet so you are going to have to wait" he growled as he began pulling cup out and sugar packets.
"What? Luke…come on I know you have some ready already!" Loralai folder her arms across her chest
He looked around to make sure no one was looking then he nodded and pulled out a thermos of coffee and handed it to them.
"Just don't tell any one where you got it just yet"
"Coffee? What coffee I know not what you speak of " Loralai grinned and pored some in to the little cup.
After finishing her Coffee Rory snuck outside to see Lane before the Dance off started.
"So how are things?" Rory asked as she picked up a sandwich
Lane scooped up some more of the yellow mush and spread it on some bread
"How do you think things are going?"
She laughed " no so good I guess?"
"Could be worse, I guess Dave could be here" she joked
The both laughed then Rory looked at her watch "I should head back in side they are going to start soon don't want to keep mom waiting"
"Yeah I'll see of I can sneak in and watch you for a bit that is if I can get away from my mama"
"Yeah you don't want to miss Kirk trying to out do my mom" she laughed while making her way back to her mom.
The dance off started and Rory was already tired she had been dancing for hours and her feet hurt like crazy but Loralai would not let her rest.
"Come on we can do this! We cant let Kirk win again! Dip me!" she said as Kirk danced by
She groaned Just then she was Dean walk in with a goofy smile on her face and groaned even louder
"What ok fine I'll dip you!"
"No mom it's not that" she shook her head
"Oh then what is it?"
"Dean is here" she motioned with her head to where her was
Loralai look at Dean as he scanned the mass of people looking for Rory she assumed
"I thought everything was ok and you guys are friends now"
"So did I but yesterday was kind of weird he was way to touch feely for me and he would not let me pay for anything"
"So you mean it was a date? Or he thought it was?"
"I don't know I didn't get to talk to him much he just kept giving me moon eyes and complementing me!"
"Sweetie I think you should talk to him make sure he understand…"
"I know it's just hard"
Taylor blew the blow horn letting every one know that they had a twenty minute break
"Oh thank god" Rory stopped dancing and leaned on her mom
"Come on lets get some food!"
"Food good! Oh and more Coffee" she pleaded
"Lets go see what Luke can do"
While the made their way to Luke's table Dean spotted them and made his way to them
"Hey" he smiled Goofily at them
"Hi Dean" Loralai smiled politely
"Hi Rory" he moved closer to her
"Oh hi Dean, Mom I'm going to go find Lane I'll be back soon"
"Ok babe you know where you know where to find me"
She started to make her way to the exit when Dean stopped her
"I'll go with you" he offered
"It's ok really I'll be fine" she began walking away. He began fallowing her
"What Kind of a boyfriend would I be if let you wonder off alone"
Rory stopped she had realized two things. One was that Jess and Shane were standing right in front of her making out like mad while they made their way out, and the other thing is Dean had just said BOYFRIEND.
"Ughhh, you mean friend?" she corrected while she walked away again trying to avoid Jess and bleached bimbo. 'Does she actually expect people to believe she was born with that hair color' she thought as she passed them and walked out the doors real fast Dean hot on her tail.
"Oh yeah" he laughs nervously
She looked over she shoulder and shook her head "I gotta find Lane" and walked away leaving Dean standing there.
Rory reached the table and looked for Lane. It look pretty busy which was surprising considering that the Egg Salad sandwiches were made everything but eggs. She was about you ask Mrs. Kim were Lane was when she saw Dean jogging to where she was.
"Wow you are fast" he laughed and threw his arm over she shoulders
She was about to shrug it off and tell Dean to leave her alone when she heard Mrs. Kim talking to her.
"Rory" Mrs. Kim said with her usual sharp voice
"Hey Mrs. Kim is Lane still here?" she asked hoping that she still was
"Yes, she is getting more bread. She be back soon" she answered handing a couple some sandwiches
Rory saw and opportunity and took it " Oh, I'm sure she needs help" she started "I'll go help her" she turned around and walked out before Dean could say anything .
Once outside she saw Lane walking with her arms full of loafs of bread.
"Oh God Lane!" she ran towards her and took a few loaves out of her arms and walked with her
"What's the matter?" she asked concerned
"Dean he is acting way to fucking weird! I don't know why I never noticed these things before!"
"Woooh slow down! What happened"
"Well first he is all clingy, he cant let me do anything on my own! He want to baby me all the time and he is still acting like we are dating!"
She groaned " I cant believe I didn't notice any of these things sooner!" she sighed "What's even worse is that I actually thought I loved him!" she looked over at Lane to see her laughing
"This is so not funny! Breaking up with him when we were dating was bad enough! Its going to be worse when we are not EVEN dating!"
"I'm sure it's not like that, he is probably glad that you guys are on speaking terms again" she offered
Half way there they saw someone walking towards them it was Dean. Rory just rolled her eyes and Lane looked a little confused .
"You guys took long so I came to check on you" he took the break from Rory's arms
She looked at Lane and rolled her eyes. "SEE he is psycho, I was not even gone two minutes!" she hissed
Dean turned around "What? Did you say something?"
"No, nothing" she kept walking
Lane bit her bottom lip, she had a feeling things were not going to go well today, she just hoped that Rory would be ok.
"Ahh good , you are back! Get back to work there are a lot of people!" Mrs. Kim barked when she saw them again
"Yes Mama"
Rory was leaning agents the table eating a sandwich tuning out what ever boring story Dean was telling and wishing for Taylor to blow the fog horn so she could get away form Dean.
"It was amazing Ror you should have been there!" he laughed
"Yeah, I guess" she put down her sandwich and straitened up
At that exact moment Jess and Shane walk up to the table
"Hello all" Jess said sarcastically
"What do you want?" Dean growled and quickly pulled Rory close to him and wrapped his arm around her
Jess just looked at them and pulled Shane closer to him and picked up a sandwich "What's it to you shop buy?"
"Everything, you don't belong here! So why don't you just leave?"
By now Rory was screaming on the inside she wanted to smack Dean and break his arm that was around her.
Rory opened her mouth to say something but she heard the fog horn .
She unwrapped Deans arm from around her, picked up her half eaten sandwich and said "Excuse me would you " and left with out another word
Dean watched her leave then turned back to Jess
"Look I don't know why you have this strange fascination with my girlfriend but it ends now!" he growled
Jess handed Shane his sandwich and replied "Girlfriend? You mean Ex don't you?"
"No! I mean Girlfriend she doesn't know any better . We belong together! And she is to nice to tell you to piss off! But I'm not so leave right now!
Jess let go of Shane and stepped closer to him, he may have been taller and bigger but Jess knew he could handle him no problem.
"It's a free country…I don't have to leave if I don't want to"
"I'll make you! I'm giving you one more chance! Leave or I'll"
"Or you'll what?"
Dean clenched his fists and was about to punch him when all of the sudden a sandwich appeared in between them.
"SANDWICH!" Lane asked trying to avoid any conflict
Dean smiled at her and took it. He mumbled a quick word of thanks. When he turned back Jess was already gone.
Ok there you have it… let me know what you think…I would have had it up sooner but I just got so busy I kept putting I off but any way here it is and don't 4get to R&R!
