Takes place right at the end of "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels" ALTERNATE ENDING, leads to TOTALLY different plots :).

"I get to leave first!" Rory cried and took off in the opposite direction.

"Rory, wait! Stop!" Jess called after her.

"No you don't get to walk away!" She yelled as she turned a corner.

"Hold on!" Jess called again, speeding up.

"My town! I leave!"

"I just wanna- where you goin?" He said exasperatedly.

"None of your business!" She shouted back.

"We look like idiots!"

"I don't care!"

"Stop running!"

"Stop following!"

"Oh come on!" He catches up to her for a second before she runs away faster.

"Go away, I'm leaving!" She cries.

"Rory stop!" Jess pleads.

"Why?!" She asks slowing down.

"Cuz I wanna talk to you!" Jess finishes finally catching up to her.

"About what? What do you wanna talk to me about?" She snaps at him as they both stop and face each other.

"When did you learn to run like that?" Jess asks out of breath.

"You know, I have actually thought about this moment. A lot. What would Jess say to me if I ever saw him again? I mean he just took off. No note, no call. Nothing. How could he explain that? And then a year goes by, no word. Nothing. So he couldn't possibly have a good excuse for that right? I have imagined hundreds of different scenarios, with hundreds of great parting lines and I have to tell you, I am very curious to find out which way this is going to go." She didn't break eye contact with him the whole time, and when she was finished, he hesitated.

"Can we sit down?" He asks quietly.

"No! You wanted to talk, so talk. What do you have to say to me?"

Jess looks at her, takes a deep breath and comes out with what's been on his mind since the first time he ever saw Rory.

"I love you."

He waits for some sort of response, but Rory is speechles. Jess begins to back away towards his car. When he is about to open the door, reality hits Rory.

"Jess! Wait." She cries running up to him.

He turns around slowly.

"Yeah?" he asks cautiously, not wanting to do anything to upset her anymore.

She takes a deep breath and stands on her tiptoes and presses her lips against Jess'.

She kisses him passionatley and he responds happily.

She finally breaks away from him and says "I-I love you too."

A smile breaks across his face and he pulls her into his arms. He puts his hands around her waist and she loops an arm around his shoulders.

She leans her head between his neck and shoulder, amazed at how well it fits there.

Jess, admires the gesture and leans into her sweet smelling hair. They stand in that position for a few minutes until Rory breaks the silence.

"So does this mean you're staying?" She asks looking up at him hopefully.

He tightens his grip around her waist and shrugs.

"Do you want me to stay?"

"That's a stupid question! Ofcourse I want you to stay!" She laughs and hugs him again.

"Well, I have a better idea. If you want...we can go away together."

"Wait, what?" She pulls away from him and looks at his face. His eyes are watching the crowd of people bustling through the streets.

"Well, I was just thinking for a few days. Not for good. I would never make you leave your home. Just for like..a week or a few days if a week's too long...But you don't have to. I understand if you want to just stay here."

Rory doesn't respond right away.

"Rory?"

"Well...I'd have to tell my mom...and run home and get clothes and all that...but yes. It sounds..it's...it's perfect."

"Really?" Jess couldn't believe how fast his luck had changed.

"Yes, really." Rory smiled as Jess leaned in and kissed her again.

"Well then, I say we go to your house grab some clothes and leave before midnight." He grinned. "Come on, I'll give you a ride home."

"Jess it's down the street."

"You'd rather walk? With all that luggage?"

"I'll only need one bag! I don't take a thousand outfits with me!"

"I was talking about your books."

"Fine, I'll take only my favorites."

"That's still alot."

"Aww, please?"

"Okay then."

"Yay!"

"Let's go."

"Let's go." Rory repeated and headed down the street holding Jess' hand.
