A/N: Surprise! I'm still alive… I started university, am studying English and French. So, you know, even less them than High School. I had some inspiration today (and some of this had already been written). So, here you go, a new chapter. Enjoy. Read and Review!

Hour 5

"Where'd she get that voice?" Lorelai asked Piper as she and Luke passed their friends.

Piper shrugged. "Certainly not from me, I'm a horrible singer!"

"Honey, you're overreacting." Leo tried.

Piper frowned. "Mom could sing, Prue could sing, Phoebe and Paige are both good singers, but me, I seem to be the exception that validates the rule."

Lorelai grinned. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm not such a great singer either"

"Now that is true!"

"Luke!"

"What? You said it yourself."

Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Men!"

"How come we've never noticed this before?" Piper asked Leo as Lorelai and Luke danced away.

"Her voice changes all the time and it probably just has."

"I had no clue four year olds were even able to produce such a sound."

"Piper, god, you make it sound like she's Oskarchen!"

Piper shivered. "Thank god she's not, I'd kill myself too."

"You would've probably blown her up first." Leo whispered in her ear.

She frowned. "With what, my non-existent magic powers?"

"See, good you don't have them anymore."

Piper looked at her husband, suspiciously. "What exactly has Phoebe told you?"

"Nothing."

"And I'm Santa."

"She really didn't, you've just been very weird about witches and stuff to the kids."

"Is it that obvious?"

"Only to me. I guess some whitelighter things don't disappear."

Piper grinned. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Hour 6

"Well, Patty, who do you find the most originally dressed?" Taylor turned to his fellow presenter and talked in a very tv-show presenter kind of voice.

The woman grinned. "That's easy, Taylor, Jess and Rory."

Jess and Rory both turned their heads. Rory had a triumphant smile on her face. "I told you, didn't I!"

"Did I ever oppose the idea?" Jess had thought it brilliant from the beginning.

"No, but you didn't want to come, so we couldn't have dressed up."

Jess rolled his eyes.

"You tell him, Rory!" Patty said from the stage.

"But, well, they're dressed as ordinary people." Taylor was not quite convinced.

"Hey!" A woman yelled from the other side of the room.

Taylor rolled his eyes. "Lorelai, what seems to be the problem?"

Before she had a chance to answer, Patty spoke. "Taylor, they're dressed as Luke and Lorelai!"

"Oh." Taylor looked stunned. How could he not have seen it, it was so obvious, well, Jess was so obvious, the baseball cap, the plaid shirt. "Well, you know, they're not REALLY a FAMOUS couple." He couldn't just lose this. Taylor Doose didn't lose.

"They are Stars Hollow's most talked about couple." Patty offered.

"You tell him, Patty!" Lorelai yelled, before she thought about what had just been said. Luke looked at her surprised.

"Should we be proud about that?" He asked his wife.

"I don't know." She shrugged. "But I'm gonna find out." She led him a bit closer to the stage.

"Patty, when you say 'most talked about', do you mean it in a positive way?"

The woman laughed, like she always did, warm and loud. "Of course!"

Lorelai nodded and turned back to Luke. "We should be."

Hour 7

"How could you not mention the fact that you're a man!?"

All the heads in the gym turned to Andrew and his dance partner. The woman/man ran outside, crying, while Andrew followed her, shouting.

"Couple number 17, you are out of the game!" Taylor said, as if he hadn't known this was going to happen.

"This is by far the best thing Andrew has come up with." Lorelai had to admit, and Luke couldn't disagree.

"Do you think he does it on purpose?" She wondered.

"Why would he do that?" Luke couldn't really follow his wife sometimes.

"Because it's tradition, to entertain us with one of his break-ups."

Luke shook his head. "I'm not even going to answer that."

Hour 8

"Dancers, public, while you get yourselves something to eat and to drink, the students of the Miss Patty's School of Ballet will perform for you during this break and the one before the 16th hour. We will start with our youngest dancers, they will perform for you an adjusted piece of the nutcracker." Patty put down the microphone and put on the music.

Two teenagers led a group of smiling and waving 4- and 5-year-olds to the middle of the dance floor and then left them there.

The music started and the little girls started dancing.

"Have you noticed that they have no idea what their doing?" Jess asked sceptical.

"They're four, what did you expect?" Rory asked.

"That someone would be there to show them what to do?" He offered.

"But now they feel as if they can really do something alone, kids love that." Paige sat at his other side.

"That's just ridiculous."

"That's psychology." The social worker said.

Jess just rolled his eyes.

One of the girls tripped and started crying. A mother emerged from the audience and picked her up.

"See, now you have a kid scarred for life."

"Jess," He turned to Paige.

"Yeah?"

"Shut up."

Rory grinned.

"You've gotta admit that they're adorable." She looked at her little sister, doing much better than she ever had, and, quite better than most of the other girls. But she was biased, wasn't she?

"Whatever." Jess mumbled.

Hour 9

"Auntie! My feet are hurting."

Lorelai frowned at her daughter's boyfriend. "Jess, you say one more thing like that and pull back a bloody stub!"

"Uncle Luke, she's being mean to me!"

"Make that two." Luke added.

"Ok, I get it, come on Rory, we're obviously not wanted here." Jess said as he pulled Rory to the other side of the dance floor.

"Jess?"

"Yeah?"

"Hypothetically speaking, do you want to have kids one day?"

Jess stopped and stared at Rory. "Is this the Gilmore way of saying that you're pregnant?"

Rory rolled her eyes. "What part of hypothetically don't you understand?"

"Seriously? Not that I wouldn't support you if you were."

"Jess, I'm NOT pregnant"

He let out a sigh of relief.

"But one day I'd like to be and I need to know if you'd be okay with that."

"Couple 12, if you stand still any longer, you will be asked to leave."

"Shut up Taylor!" Jess yelled. They did start moving again though.

"Of course I want kids Rory, but, I mean, right now we don't have time to take care of a baby. You've got your promotion, I'm working on my deadline…"

"Jess, relax, I meant, like, in a year or so, if things have calmed down again, we can begin thinking about it."

Jess nodded and kissed Rory. "I love you"

"I love you too."
