A/N: Title taken from the Fame on Fire song of the same name.
This chapter contains a forceful kiss that one did not consent to. It's not shown, but told.
Also, no one dies in this chapter. Unless you count Dean's hope for getting back with Rory as a death.
Also, also, I have no idea where this Dean arc even came from, or why or how this arc came to fruition. All I know was that Dean was supposed to wig out a little when he found out that Rory was dating a former addict, and she was supposed to scamper off. Him sticking around was not planned out. 🤷🏻♀️

"Okay, I think I've got all the rooms assigned for the test run," Michel said to Thea and Lorelai as they walked down the stairs together.
"What you have?" asked Thea.
Michel listed from his clipboard, "Miss Patty is in room one, Babette is in room two. I put Taylor in three, the corner room. Sage and Aiden are in room five. The Siegels will go in six, Lorelai and Jason are in seven—"
"W-wait, what happened to four?" asked Lorelai as they got to the front desk.
"By whom?" asked Lorelai.
"By friends of mine," Michel replied. He continued listing from the clipboard, "Sookie and Jackson are in—"
"Which friends did you invite?" asked Thea.
"You and Lorelai said I could invite friends, did you not?" asked Michel.
"I remember saying that," Thea replied.
"Okay, so I did that," Michel said. "I invited two of my friends and I put them in room four, now room four is taken with my friends are you suggested, okay?"
"Paw-paw and Chin Chin cannot come to the test run," Lorelai stated.
"Why not?" asked Michel.
"Because they are dogs, Michel," Lorelai pointed out.
"They cannot stay home by themselves," Michel said. "They get lonely and they eat expensive Italian things."
"Then get yourself a Chow sitter, because room four is for human beings only," Lorelai replied.
Thea patted Michel on the shoulder, "I would love to bring my cats, but I can't do that. Maybe I should turn the Dragonfly into a pet friendly place. Ooh, maybe have a small building that's pet friendly, have it fenced off so the dogs can run around and sleep, so they're not disrupting guests. I'll think about it."
They went up to Tom and Lorelai, who was saying, "Oh, hey, Tom, I'm putting Post-its where we need paint touch-ups."
"Got it," Tom replied.
"And, you know, we got that test run Saturday," Lorelai said. "I was really hoping to have some doors by then."
