A couple days later, Dean and Rory were sitting on a bench in the park eating sandwiches. "What do you want to do after lunch?"

"I don't know." Dean said. "What do you want to do?"

They sounded like two bored kids at home on a rainy day. They had explored most of the city already, at least the parts of it that they were most interested in seeing, and really didn't have much of a plan on how to spend the next 4 days.

"I've got an idea." Rory said. "Let's go to France!"

"Huh?" Dean said, not knowing geography as well, and think France was too far away.

"It's only an hour and a half by train."

"Really?" Dean said, kind of excited. "But wait, you've already been to France."

"You can go somewhere more than once..." Rory said replying to what she thought was a stupid statement. "And besides you've never been."

"Okay." Dean said. "Let's go." He stood up excited, as if they were actually going to hop on the train that very minute.

"Well, since we don't have a hotel, and we won't stay overnight, it probably makes sense to leave early tomorrow morning instead."

"Okay." Dean said a little disappointed he'd have to wait.

"But you know what they say about Paris?" She said cheering him up. " It's the City of Love." She gave him a kiss.

The next morning they managed to get up at 8, so they could be on a train by 9. They were bought two muffins for breakfast, and a cup of coffee and boarded the train.

"So what are we going to do in France?"

"Hmmmm…." Rory said quickly compiling a list in her head. "Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, Notre Dame, Impressionist Museum."

"So basically I'm in for museum, after museum, after museum." Dean complained, but still happily.

"I'll make you a deal. We'll only go to one. The Louvre, if you promise to be open minded."

"Okay." Dean said. "I promise."

"But first let's go to the Eiffel tower." Rory said, getting a taxi.

"Whoa," Dean said. "What's the line for?" The was a huge line with hundreds of people.

"It's to climb to the top." Rory explained. "Do you want to?"

"Sure." He said looking back at the line. "But we better get lunch first."

Rory laughed. "Okay." First they stopped at a shop to buy postcards with the Eiffel Tower on them. Rory wrote to her mom and Luke.

Dear Mom and Luke,

We're here in Paris for the day. Oh that reminds me I should send Paris a postcard from here. Hehe. Anyway, we're having lots of fun, as you could tell from the pic I sent you. Say hi to Alex for me!

Love,

Rory

She put a stamp on it and stuck it in the mailbox. "Ready?" Dean asked.

"Yep." They kept walking, looking for a place for lunch. "Let's go here." She suggested. "They make the most amazing crepes!"

"Crap?" Dean said really confused.

"Crepe!" Rory said laughing. "You've never had a crepe! Come on!" She said taking him in there.

Dean took his first bite and Rory watched him. "This is great." He said.

"and the chocolate ones are to die for." Rory whispered in his ear.

"We'll have to try those another time. I'm so full."

"Really?" Rory said.

"Do you want a chocolate crepe?" Dean asked.

"We have a mind reader over here."

Dean asked the next waiter he saw, "We'll have one chocolate crepe please."

When it came Rory took a bite, and the chocolate oozed out of the crepe. It was warm and delicious. "Here. Take a bite."

"Mmmm…" Dean said and they finished their lunch. Then they began walking back towards the Eiffel tower, to wait in line to climb.
