Rules of Engagement by Romantique

Plot: This is the Season Premiere of season 5. It starts off with "previously's" and then we go right into the episode. In the teaser, Lindsay sees "Rory" on Dean's cell phone, after she calls, and asks Dean about it. It comes out that he's slept with her, and Lindsay gets mad. Now, I myself would have rather seen her hit Dean over the head with a baseball bat. However, I suppose we're keeping this realistic. Oh well. So, then Act 1 starts. We're at the inn. Jason's drunk (which is hilarious!) and Michel's dealing with him. Then Michel leaves and Luke's dealing with him. Poor Luke. But still, he knows he's got the girl. Kirk's night terrors call Luke away. Cut to Lorelai and Rory driving back to the inn. They run into NakedKirk and Luke. Meaningful talk. Witty references. We begin a little song fic as Dean goes to find Rory. Rory's at the inn. Sad Dean remembers stuff. But sorry, buddy, no more sympathy for you. Next day. At the inn, Luke and Lorelai are talking about last night. Apparently, it's been pretty eventful. Among other things, Lorelai beat up Jason! How great is that? Very great, that's how great. Next is a Rory/Dean phone call. Dean wants to see Rory. Rory wants Dean to end it with Lindsay first. Hmm, Rory, maybe you should have thought about that last night? You know, before you slept with him? Before you slept with him-when you knew he was married, when you knew it was your first time, when you knew it was wrong-maybe that's when you should have stopped it. I'm sorry. Anyway. Rory's going to Europe this summer. Dean wants to see her tonight, she says yes. Lane calls, but Rory doesn't get a chance to tell her about Dean. Now in this forth chapter/third act, I hear some crazy news. I hear that this is this author's first GG fic. More on that below. Back to the story. (Man, I like getting off on tangents, don't I?) Emily came back to talk to Lorelai. She's asleep. Luke comes down the stairs, yawning. Emily puts two and two together and comes up with: sex. Rory assures her that she's wrong, and defends Lorelai, which I think is really sweet. Now it's official that Rory's going to Europe. Luke calls Lorelai. Movie night tonight at seven. Emily comes to the door and wants to talk to Lorelai. She starts off nice enough, but she gets mad when Lorelai's less-than-accepting of her and Rory going to Europe. They fight, and bring up old wounds, but Emily leaves when Sookie interrupts. Cut to Dean and Rory in an alley. I'm reluctant to call it "their" alley, because I don't want them to have an alley. But, this is their alley. Dean asks her to come away with him, and I actually, literally, yell out loud at him. Besides the point, though, I guess. Eww, eww, eww. Dean and Rory kiss. Hey, Rory, I thought you weren't going to be with him? Huh, huh? What about Lindsay, Rory? But they've decided that she's not running away with him. Thank God. Lorelai goes to meet Luke. Cuteness. Luke and Lorelai kiss and I'm much more happy about than I was the Dean/Rory kiss. We hear Kirk asking for copies of the pictures Rory took of Lorelai and Luke to sell to the Stars Hollow Gazette. Rory says no. And we're out.

Characterization: Wow. You had everyone right on target. I think you did a great job. I can't believe that this is your first GG fic. In fact, I refuse to believe it. It makes me jealous. :) You've written possibly the best first fic ever. You're a wonderful author, don't you dare ever stop writing.

Style/Flow: I don't know if it's really called "flow" when it's in script format, but if it is, then you've got this down, too. Good scenes, good scene changes, good everything.

Structure/Grammar/Spelling: All excellent.

Things To Work On: Hmm. Uh...the, uh...um... You know what? Just write the next one quickly. That's all I ask. :) It was great and I have zero complaints. It may not seem like I'm very happy about Rory/Dean, but I do think that that's how the show will go if ASP decides to actually think it through. Every comment in here is meant to be positive. I love this story.

Parts That Rocked Our Socks: Everything? Yes, everything. It was all, all, all great. I can't really pick anything out, besides "LORELAI: Unless you're David Gest. LUKE: Well then, watch out." I like this especially because I can see Luke's delivery of this. This was really an extremely good fic, I loved every word. One of the best out there.
Grade:
A+. +++++++++.
