A/N Review pretty pretty please! Happy (almost) Holidays!
MEGAN! It's CHAPTER 21.
A few days passed, every single one of them, Rory wore the bracelet. Finally the day of New Year's Eve came. Dean stopped by in the morning, to pick Rory up and they drove into New York City together. "We're almost there." Dean said.
"Okay."
"I didn't make any reservations for lunch, because I wasn't sure what time we'd get here by. But I have a nice dinner planned."
"Don't worry Dean. It all sounds great.
At one in the afternoon they got into the city and were excited to find a Planet Hollywood Restaurant. "So what do you want to do in the city for the afternoon?" Dean asked once they had sat down for lunch.
"I heard the wax museum, is really neat." Rory replies.
"Sounds good."
They spent a fun-filled at Madame Tussad's Wax museum, making fun poses and faces together, near the extremely realistic wax sculptures of famous people. They took many photos, which Lorelai would tease them about for life.
"So what's next?" Rory asked Dean.
"How about a walk through Central Park."
Rory smiled and nodded. "So, Dean?"
"Yes, Rory."
"We're you serious, about marriage?"
"Yeah. Were you?"
" Definitely." She said.
"Would you want a family?" Dean asked.
"Eventually." Rory said. "But I'm not sure how, you know I'd love to travel."
Dean had thought about this before. "I'm good with kids. You could travel, like business trips. Then come home and write a book about it."
"We'll work something out." Rory smiled, not because she particularly liked this idea. Because she knew they would work something out, because Dean would do anything for her.
They sat down on a bench, and kissed for a moment. "We're about half a mile from Times Square." Dean informed her. "We have an early reservation. Six o' clock. So we can see the ball drop, from a spot where it looks bigger than my fist."
Rory let out a little laugh. They arrived at the restaurant, and had a wonderful dinner. "This place is beautiful."
"You like it?"
"No." Rory paused. Dean made a confused face. "I love it." She grinned.
The waiter served them two glasses of champagne. "If we attempted to make a toast, when it was officially new year, we'd be outside and the champagne would freeze." He smiled. "So…" He looked into her nice, blue eyes. "Rory, I love you. I hope we have a healthy, happy new year that brings us many adventures. Together." They both took a sip. At 7:30, when they had finished dessert and were ready to go, they headed outside. They watched Dick Clark, and all of the rest of the excitement around them. The two of them, were in a huge crowd, but they enjoyed being close, especially on such a cold night.
The ten second countdown began. Rory and Dean, holding hands, shouted along with everyone else. When the ball hit the bottom, and the crowd cheered, Rory and Dean shared the first kiss of the new year. Then they went back to the hotel for the night.
