Me Against the World

Summary: The story's situated a little while after Jess came back to Stars Hollow (during Sookie's wedding). Rory never got back with Dean, and the last is already with Lindsay. Jess and Rory have been together for a couple of weeks but it's obvious that the town isn't very pleased with this relationship. One night, at town meeting, Jess and Rory express their feelings.

PART 1

6:55 PM: everybody in town was heading to miss Patty's for the usual town meeting, presided, as always, by Taylor Doose. But that night wasn't going to be the same as the others in the little town of Stars Hollow. Jess Mariano and Rory Gilmore had been dating for a while and the couple noticed soon enough that nobody in town wasn't very pleased with that. So Rory had asked Taylor to have a right to speak during the next town meeting, helped by Jess, of course. At 7:00 sharp, Taylor took the hammer and hit the desk, and, as always, began to speak.

Taylor: Dear fellow resident of Stars Hollow, good evening. Tonight, before we talk about the usual problems that affect our beautiful town, I'd like give a right to speak to miss Rory Gilmore who, it seems, has something to talk about to us. Rory, here you go.

Rory got up from her chair and walked up to the front, followed by Jess. She went behind the desk and spoke up.

Rory: Good evening everybody. You're probably telling yourselves that I'm not here to talk to you about the weather. If Jess is beside me, there's probably a reason. We noticed that, all of you, despise the fact that I am dating Jess. Yes, I'm dating Jess, so what? I love him, he loves me, that's all that matters. But actually, that's not the couple that disturbs you...that's Jess. You've always hated him, since the first day he walked in town! You didn't even try to get to know him! I did, I gave him a chance while nobody of you did. Excuse me, but it's disgusting. I thought Stars Hollow was the most warmest town in the world...I guess I was wrong.

Jess took the relay.

Jess: We're not gonna be part of your game and we won't play the victims. You've always said that I was a nightmare. a disaster for this town, that I'm a lost cause, not a hero. Well I think I'm at least one person's hero: Rory's. You think you know everything! Well I'm gonna prove you wrong. We won't let you change us, we won't let you control us. You can spit all your insults and judge us, say what you want to, but we'll never let you win. Never.

With this, Jess took Rory's hand and together, they got out of there, went to Jess's car and left the town. The residents of Stars Hollow were hanging their mouths opened in awe. Rory's mother, Lorelei, had tears in her eyes, as well as Sookie, her best friend. Luke, Jess's uncle, was frozen on his chair, unable to process what had just happened. After a while, the three left and got back home, Sookie heading to Lorelei's place to comfort her.
