Jo's POV 

I'm at the Crap Shack with Rory, Lane and Dean eating pizza. Lane is calling Dave again.

"Well?" Rory asks.

"Still ringing," Lane says.

She hangs up.

"He's home," Lane says.

"How'd he sound?" Rory asks.

"Homey," she replies.

"Nice," Rory says.

"I know this is a stupid question, but why can't you just talk to him?" Dean asks.

"Because yesterday he called to say that they were still looking for a rehearsal space and that he'd call when he had more news, so now I have to wait until he calls about the band. And in between, I call and hang up on him. pathetic," Lane replies.

"Not so pathetic. I used to hang up on Dean all the time," Rory says.

"You did?" he asks.

"I remember that," Lane says.

"When did you hang up on me?" he asks.

"Right when we first met," Rory says.

"You should have just said something," he tells her.

"I couldn't do that," she replies.

"Why not?" he asks.

"Because then you would've known that I was calling and therefore that I liked you," she says.

"Yes, but I liked you too," he tells her.

"I know that now," she says.

"And you could have known that then," he replies.

"Dean, please, this is a girl thing," she tells him.

"Ok, tell me when I'm supposed to pay attention again," he says.

"I'm gonna love him forever and he'll never know it," Lane says.

"What if you coughed?" Dean says, smirking.

"Dean," Rory says, getting on to him.

"Or sneeze," I add.

"Jo."

"I'm not sorry," I replied, also smirking.

"At least he's at home and not out with a girl," Lane says.

"Very true," Rory responds.

"He could be home with a girl..." Dean says.

"Dean!" Rory yells.

"Sitting here, staring at my pizza," he says.

"You think he was at home with a girl?" Lane asks.

"No, I don't," Rory tells her.

"I'm gonna call again," she says.

"Good idea, and pay attention to the background noise this time," Rory tells her.

"Girls are weird," I tell Dean.

"Oh, cool. Pizza," Lorelai says, walking in.

"She's calling Dave to see if she can hear a girl in the background," Rory informs.

"Oh," Lorelai replies.

"I voted that she actually said something," Dean says.

"You're a boy. You know nothing about this," Loreal replies.
