Lorelai, Sabrina, and Rory all get out of the jeep, Lorelai with a pizza in hand, and the two girls both carrying brown take out bags.
"I can't believe you got into a fight with Pete." Rory exclaims
"Hey, you do not suddenly decide that garlic is an extra topping, not after five years, not after all we've been through. We single-handedly helped Pete pay for that new delivery truck of his, and I thought he needed to be reminded of that fact." Lorelai defends
"Very loudly."
"Not that loudly."
"Dogs started barking." Sabrina chimes in
"Because they heard about the garlic incident, and no one likes getting screwed, not even a Schnauzer. Pete's a swindler. He takes advantage of single mothers and their innocent children and for that, he must pay what?"
"He gave us free cheesy bread." Rory says
"He did?"
"Yeah."
"I love the cheesy bread."
"I know you do."
"It's all hot, too."
"Now doesn't someone feel a little silly?" Sabrina laughs
"Me?"
"Should we call Pete tonight?" Rory asks
"Okay, after cheesy bread."
"Fine, after the cheesy bread."
"I'm gonna go get the mail go on inside." Lorelai says as the two girls go inside.
Lorelai walked over to her mailbox when a strange man approached her.
"Hey! Hello there, neighbor!"
"Hi. I'm sorry, are we neighbors?" Lorelai asks startled
"Yes, yes we are. I just moved in across the way." The mysterious man gestures towards his house
"Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Beenie Morrison's old place."
"That's right, Beenie Morrison's old place. I paid him a very good price. Overpaid, actually, but it was worth it. I've been dreaming about a place like Beenie Morrison's old place for a long time, and then I found it. I'm sorry, I'm just really excited."
"That's okay, it's nice."
"It's a great neighborhood."
"Yes, it is."
"Oh, uh, anyhow, I'm Dwight."
"I'm Lorelai. And if you see two teens walking around with halos and a books, those are my daughters Rory and Sabrina."
"Very nice to meet you, Lorelai."
"Nice to meet you too, Dwight. Welcome to the neighborhood. If there's anything I can do to help out, let me know."
"Really?"
"Sure." Lorelai smiles
"Well, that's great. Actually, I have this little favor I'd love to ask."
Dwight ended up asking Lorelai to water his lawn while he was away on a business trip. She hesitantly agreed to do it, even though she found it rather odd but was happy to help. He took her to his front yard and showed her how to work the spigot.
——————————————————————————-
Lorelai rushes down the stairs, she and Sabrina were both running late. Rory had already left to school.
"Okay, the clock is right! If we hurry, we still have time to hit Luke's for breakfast. What'd I forget?" Lorelai scrambles through purse
"Pants" Sabrina jokes
Lorelai falls for it and quickly looks down before pointing at Sabrina.
"Ooh, don't do that. Come on, let's go!" Lorelai hurries towards the front door
"Wait"
"What?"
"Dwight's lawn"
"Oh shoot!" Lorelai places her hand over her forehead
"Aw, there goes the breakfast sandwich." Sabrina holds her stomach
"No, no, let's hurry, we can still do Luke's."
Lorelai and Sabrina stood by the spigot in Dwight's front yard, both struggling to turn it on.
"Okay, come on, sprinkle." Lorelai heaved, eventually it finally turned on "There, drink up boys, we've got a breakfast to get to."
Lorelai turned to see Sabrina on the porch looking at an envelope.
"I think this is for you" Sabrina holds up the envelope pointing to Lorelai's name on the front.
Inside the letter was Dwight asking Lorelai to also water his plants inside the house. Lorelai groans at the request but goes in anyway, Sabrina followed behind. The house was decorated like some sort of tourist attraction in Hawaii. The girls stood in shock in the doorway, taking it all in.
"Someone took the whole lounge craze very seriously." Lorelai remarks
The two girls turned to the left and saw a huge closet full of board games, which he invited them to play with in his letter.
"I have never seen this many board games. He's got Monopoly from every country in the world." Sabrina looks up at all the games.
The girls watered his plants and quickly left.
——————————————————————————
A few days later Lorelai and Sabrina sat in Luke's diner, eating and talking, while Rory was still at school.
"Ooh, I got you a present." Lorelai says
"What?"
"In my purse." Lorelai reached in her purse and pulled out a videotape, and handed it to Sabrina.
"Cardio Salsa." Sabrina reads the title
"Yeah, they play the Miami Sound Machine and you dance around, you get a really great workout."
"Why would you buy me this?"
"Because I'll feel stupid doing in alone."
Sabrina just laughs and jokingly rolls her eyes. Lorelai then gets a phone call from Dwight, asking to water his plants three times instead of two because he heard it was going to be extra sunny in Stars Hallow. Lorelai had to get back to the inn, so she asked Sabrina to water the lawn instead.
Sabrina headed over to Dwight's house and struggled to turn on the spigot but luckily, after a couple of tries, she managed to do it. She went inside to water his plants, and also to snoop around more. After 10 minutes she went back outside to turn off the sprinklers.
She tried to turn them off but ended up turning them up higher. She screamed as she got splashed and soaked from all the water. She reached into her pocket trying to grab her phone to call for help but realized she left it in the diner.
Sabrina decided to just run down the street looking for someone, anyone, to help her. She ended up bumping into Dean as she ran.
"Hey slow down" Dean says
"Ew, out of my way" Sabrina tries to step aside but Dean stands in front of her
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing."
"You're walking pretty fast for nothing"
"Leave me alone"
"Come on, what's the matter? Maybe I can-"
"Can what?" A voice from behind Dean says, Sabrina looks up and saw it was Jess.
"Jess!" Sabrina smiles in relief
Dean rolls his eyes and just walks away, Jess keeps his eyes on him the entire time until he's out of sight.
"Are you okay?" Jess worriedly asks
"Yeah I'm fine" Sabrina reassuringly smiles
"And completely soaked" Jess reaches out for a strand of her hair.
"Yeah well, This guy moved in across the way from us and we said we'd water his lawn and the grass can only be watered in ten minute increments, otherwise the lawn drowns, and the thing is stuck and it won't turn off and I have to find someone, Luke or Taylor or . . ." Sabrina gets cut off by Jess who starts to walk away.
"Where are you going? Jess!" Sabrina runs after him
Jess runs up Dwight's front yard pathway, and turns off the spigot.
"Aw, you made it look so easy."
"Yeah, it was loose. You just had to press down and give it a good twist, that's all."
"Well, thank you. But now you're all wet" Sabrina grabs the sides of his face.
"I'm fine, but come on let's get you all dried up" Jess takes Sabrina's hand into his and leads them to the diner.
