A/N Review, especially advice about the story, and let me know what you think!
For the next two weeks Rory and Dean were excited about the trip. Rory had brushed up her French to the point where most would consider her fluent. But the same couldn't be said about Dean, even though he did manage to learn many helpful phrases.
Friday afternoon, before Spring Break, Rory sat in her last class of the day. After what felt like forever the professor finally said, "Have a wonderful Spring Vacation. Class dismissed."
Paris was going to Florida for Spring Break, as she had ever since the first year she and Rory went. "Rory, you are so boring." Paris began.
"She shouldn't be talking." Rory thought but kept her mouth shut.
Paris continued. "Spring Break. Senior Year. Wild Times! Instead you're traveling with your fiancé."
"Hmmm…." Rory began. "Let's think about this. Going to a foreign country, to see new things, or going to Florida with a bunch of insane college kids." Paris rolled her eyes at Rory, but Rory wasn't stopping there. "Hmmm…" She started again. "Making out with Dean, or making out with you." She said remembering their last Spring Break experience. "Yep, I think I'll go with Dean." Then Rory started joking, "No offense to you of course. I mean you were an excellent kisser." She laughed.
Paris was not in a joking mood (not that she ever was) and just sighed angrily before going into her room to pack.
"Hey Dean." Rory said when she called.
"Hey."
"I just got out of class. I packed most of the stuff last night, but I have to finish up, and then I'll come over."
"Okay. We'll leave for the airport around 7."
"Yep. Love you."
"Love you, too." Rory hung up the phone and finished packing. Before she left, she wrote "have fun" and a little smiley face, on Paris' dry erase board, since she felt a little guilty. Then she left for Stars Hollow.
She stopped by her mom's for just a few minutes and a few sips of coffee, to say goodbye. "You better call me!" Lorelai yelled as she walked out the door,
"I promise." She yelled back.
Rory opened the door, and Dean came to help her with her suitcase. "Whoa this thing is huge. "We're going away for a week." Rory reminded him.
"I'm going away for a week, too." He said, laughing, showing her his suitcase half the size of hers. They had an early dinner at the Chinese food place. Then they stopped to get their suitcases and left for the airport.
After security, and Baggage check, and going to Starbucks, it was time to board the plane. " So how long is this again?" Dean asked, kind of whining.
"15 hours."
Dean already looked as miserable as an impatient 5 year old.
"It'll be fun. I promise."
"I'm going to hold you to that." He said giving her a kiss.
They found their seats, and the plane took off. Rory watched the movie. She and her mom loved airplane movies. Then she fell asleep. Dean did some business work, covered Rory with the blanket, and fell asleep, too. At 8:30, Rory woke up, because the flight attendant had left two little boxes of cereal in the pockets of their seats. Quietly, Rory took Dean's cocoa puff and stuck her raisin bran in his pocket. Apparently, she wasn't quite quiet enough. Dean woke up very confused, and once he realized what she had done, she had finished the box of cocoa puffs. Dean just laughed, and opened his raisin bran. A few sitcoms, later the pilot announced, "Fasten your seatbelts, we are preparing for landing."
