Dean, still pissed off, looks towards Luke, even though he was talking to Rory and said "Rory, we have to go, we're going to be late." Rory followed him reluctantly.
As they sat in the car, Rory broke the silence, "Dean-"
"I don't want to talk about it." He responded. That was the end of that, at least for now.
They stopped by Michael's, Clara's boyfriend's house first. "Clara wanted me to pick up Michael first, so he could come and knock on the door and do all of the cliché first date stuff." Dean explained without implying it was stupid in the least. Rory loved how Dean, was so into all of the charming, corny stuff. Michael got into the car and made some small talk as they drove back to the Forrester house for Clara. Rory observed Michael carefully, she did this regularly because she was a journalist, but this time it was especially because she liked Clara, and wanted for her to be happy. Michael seemed perfectly fine, and after he and Clara got into the car, they all drove off happily to the movie theater. Clara and Rory enjoyed the movie, it was a "chick flick" so Michael and Dean pretended to seem discontent, but Rory and Clara knew they liked it. When the movie was ending, Dean gave Rory a kiss on the lips, it was innocent, but only because Clara and Michael were sitting a few rows in front of them.
In the car, on the way home, once Dean and Rory noticed that Clara and Michael were involved in their own conversation, they began to talk. "I had a lot of fun tonight."
"Me too." Said Dean. "Well, accept for the movie."
"Oh… you loved it don't deny it." Rory grinned.
"What? No way!" Dean said, laughing.
"Fine, I'll drop it." Then Rory muttered, "It'll save you some embarrassment."
"What was that?" Dean questioned.
"Oh nothing…" She said, giving him a peck on the lips and walking into her house.
As nice of a night, Rory had, she had not forgotten how rough a start it began with, so the first thing she did when she walked in the door was go to talk to her mother. "Mom… Mom?" Rory yelled around the house. "Oh well," Rory thought. "I guess she's still out with Luke, it's only 10:30.
An hour later, Lorelai came home. She would have happily have had Luke spend the night, but she remembered that Rory was home. Lorelai sat down next to Rory on the couch next to Rory. "What are we going to do?"
"About what?" Lorelai said curiously. She was grinning and she obviously had an even better date than Rory.
"Dean. Luke. You know!" Rory said frantically.
"Oh yeah." Lorelai said, putting her worried face back on, but Rory could tell she was still distracted. "I don't know, what can we do?"
"I don't know." Rory sighed. "I guess, we should sleep on it."
"I don't feel like sleeping…" Lorelai said.
"Okay, mom. What is going on!" Rory said.
"Luke and I set a date! It's real Rory, it finally hit me! I'm getting married!"
"What's the date! What's the date!"
Lorelai's mood quickly changed from hyper to very serene,"January 15th, so we can hope for-"
"snow," Said Rory.
The two girls, smiled and hugged and went to sleep.
