Hey sweethearts!

Da bin ich wieder. Es gibt zwar keinen Neu-neuen Chapter, aber für euch hab ich ja trotzdem einen. Aber erstmal mein Re-Fb:

@katalin - Schätze mal, dir hat es gefallen. Freut mich. Ich hätte an Rory's Stelle aber auch lieber Colin und Finn gekriegt, als ein Haus.

@eve94 - Schön, dass es dir gefällen hat. Sooo viel passiert beim Tanzmarathon eigtl nicht ... da müsst ihr noch ein paar Teile warten *fieses Grinsen* Viel Spaß beim lesen!

@JUHUI - genug gefiebert! Freut mich, dass du den Teil so gemocht hast. Kein Problem mit dem aufklären, mach ich doch gern. Wirst ja sehen, ob nicht in diesem Jahr noch jemand anderes Kirks Thronfolge antritt. Wer weiß ...

@RoGirl - *Rotwerd* Danke für das Kompliment. Wenn man größtenteils auf englisch liest (was ich ja bei FFs grundsätzlich tue), kommt das irgendwann von selbst. Víel Spaß mit dem neuen Teil.

@contigo - why thank you! Ich freu mich doch immer, wenn jemandem meine Schreibweise gefällt. Dir auch viel Spaß beim lesen.

@pratschkuh - Ach ja, ich hab den Tanzmarathon einfach geliebt - er musste mit rein. Viel Spaß beim herausfinden!

So, fertig. Nun ... Ladies and gentleman ... It's showtime!
Chapter 8:

He's my rock

Saturday morning Rory was woken up by a grinning Finn. Looking at the clock she groaned. It was five in the morning. But he brought her coffee, at least something. And he looked incredibly sexy in his outfit.
“Thirty minutes kitten, come on! Get up and dressed, I want to dance!”

Thirty minutes later Rory was dressed and ready to go, but still couldn’t really stand. She leaned into Finn the whole time, trying not to fall asleep standing. When they were there, Babette smiled at them.
“Still not much of an early bird, sugar?” She asked sympathetically.
“How can anyone be up? How can you be up, Finn? It’s an ungodly hour!” Rory groaned her eyes still closed. After that Finn burst out laughing.
“You really have been around me for too long, kitten!” She only smiled at that and leaned a little bit more into him. “Never” was the reply he got, and he truly liked that thought.

“Alright people! Every dancer on the dance floor please! And remember, in case of emergency you may use your yellow card and won’t be disqualified as long as your partner remains on the floor and moves all the time! Now get ready everyone! We have only two minutes left until we start!” Taylor shouted over everyone in the dance studio. Finn took Rory’s hand and smirked as he saw, where she put her yellow card.
“Nice place” he commented. She hit his arm laughing.
“Don’t even think about something dirty, Finn! And it’s the same place my mom put it every time.” His smirk only grew.
“Thinking something pretty dirty right now, what are you gonna do about it love?”
“Ignoring you, but that is impossible. Let’s just dance.” Right at that moment Taylor started the countdown.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one! And it’s Showtime!” With that everyone began to dance.

The first hours were just big fun. Everyone was dancing fast, there wasn’t any slow song in between. And, of course, Finn was an amazing dancer. Babette even stayed longer on the floor just to watch him. But as always, hours passed and the songs became slower. The first real slow song came to an abrupt end as Taylor blew the horn and the run around began.
“I really hate Taylor, when he does that – he gets too much pleasure out of it!” Rory pointed out. Finn just grinned; he really had fun so far. It was great to participate with all those crazy people. Andrew had already rushed out and Kirk danced around them, as if he wanted to prove that he was the best. Plus dancing with Rory was fun, too. She had been in a good mood for the whole time. And her mood got only better when Luke made them coffee in the break.
“So my lovely daughter, are you having fun?” Lorelai asked Rory when Finn went away to get them food.
“Yeah, it’s really cool and Finn is a good dancer.” She smiled happily.
Lorelai smiled too. She had watched her daughter the whole time and she liked what she saw. Rory seemed to glow. She had laughed and joked around with Finn over the last fourteen hours, just a little bit exhausted.
“If I wouldn’t know better, I would say you two are in love.” Lorelai stated. Her daughter agreed.
“I know, we’re pretty close. He was there for my every time when I needed him in the last years. He took care of me, he let me cry on his shoulder when I needed to, he cheered me up, he brought me coffee and every possible food in entire Boston. I don’t know how to describe it. He is my rock, the yin to my yang. When we got closer it just fit, you know? It clicked, like in a puzzle. I don’t know what I’d do without him.” During her speech Rory gestured with her hands and something on her right wrist caught Lorelai’s eye. She took the arm and looked at it. It was a silver bracelet with three little pendants on it, a heart, a coffee cup and a kangaroo. The heart was in the middle.
“What’s this?” she asked curious.
“It’s a birthday present. I got it from Finn for my last birthday. He said he searched for two months before he found a jeweller that could make a coffee cup and a kangaroo.”
In this moment Finn came back and Taylor called the dancers on the floor again. Lorelai watched her daughter and her best friend go back. Finn had laid an arm around Rory’s waist. It wasn’t a possessive gesture or anything, but just this little fact showed the elder Gilmore Girl how much the Australian really cared about her daughter. ‘Just like Dean so long ago’ she thought and then went back to her husband.

The twenty third hour of the marathon had arrived and Rory was really tired. The only reason why she hadn’t passed out by now was the man she leaned on. Finn surely needed to hold nearly her whole weight, but he didn’t seem uncomfortable. She had played with the thought of stopping not two hours ago, but Finn seemed to enjoy himself and she didn’t want to stop that. She was glad that he liked her hometown that much … and she was quite comfortable with their position (her arms around his neck, her head on his chest and his arms around her waist). Finn felt about the same. He really liked being that close to Rory.
In that moment Kirks partner (he didn’t dance with Lulu because she wanted to watch him) went down. Patty woke up and blew the horn. The pair now stood still and Rory looked up at him with sleepy eyes. He smiled down at her and then twirled her around.
“We won, kitten!” he laughed as everyone began to clap.
“We won … We won?!” she finally seemed to register his words. Patty came up to them with the trophy.
“Congratulations! You two did that really good, it’s a first that Kirk didn’t win!” Suddenly Rory wasn’t sleepy anymore. She hugged Finn and then rose herself to give him a kiss. It was nothing, just a little peck on the lips, but that and her cheerful smile were enough for him. She was happy and he was part of the reason. It made him feel even better. Now Lorelai came up to them.
“I’m so proud of you! You got the trophy! I’m happy!” she said, while she jumped up and down like a little kid on Christmas. Finn took the trophy from Patty and watched the women smiling. He was really lucky to be here.


Freu mich auf eure Meinungen!
