"I'm so happy you're home for the summer kiddo. The house was so empty without you" Lorelai said as she leaned against the doorway to the bathroom while Rory was brushing her teeth.

"Couldn't have been too empty" Rory replied pulling her tooth brush out of her mouth momentarily.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Lorelai asked as she placed one of her small hands on her hip, in fake anger.

"Well, unless you've started using mens deodorant, mens shaving cream and two different tooth brushes, Luke has been spending a lot of time here" Rory replied.

"Hum, I guess that is some very incriminating evidence for your argument" Lorelai said.

"I win" Rory said happily as she rinsed off her tooth brush and placed it back in it's holder.

"So what are we doing tonight?" Lorelai asked.

"I don't know what you're going, but I was think that I might go to bed" Rory replied.

"Come on, it's not that late. We could go and.........well I'm all tapped out of ideas right now, but I'm sure if we put our mind to it we could come up with something" Lorelai said as she followed Rory down the hall and into her room.

"Go to Luke and bug him" Rory said sleepily as she climbed into her bed.

"You're a party pooper, you know that" Lorelai pouted.

"If I promise to be a none party pooper tommorrow night will you leave me alone?" Rory asked, not even bothering to open her eyes.

"Fine" Lorelai moaned "but I hope you know I'm going to go and make a list of all the things we're going to do tommorrow night" she said.

When Rory didn't reply Lorelai walked slowly out of her room and plopped herself down onto the couch. She didn't think there would be anything good on tv and she knew that Luke went to bed early, because he got up early. There was no one she could hang out with.

So with nothing else to do Lorelai went to bed.

"Good morning" Lorelai said cheerfully as she leaned over the counter to give Luke a kiss.

"It is now" Luke replied.

"Corny, but I love it" Lorelai said.

"Coffee?" Luke questioned, holding up a fresh pot.

"A man after my own heart" Lorelai replied.

Lorelai grabbed two cups of coffee and went back over to the table where Rory was sitting.

"Mmmm, thanks" Rory said taking a sip.

"I gave you your coffee addiction, the least I can do is support it" Lorelai replied, drinking her own coffee.

"So are you working today?" Rory asked.

"Yes, we have a group of tourists staying at the Dragonfly this week" Lorelai replied.

"What time?" Rory asked.

Lorelai looked at her watch, mid sip of coffee.

"Mmmm, 5 minuted ago" she said almost spilling her coffee.

"I'll see you later" Lorelai said as she grabbed her coat and rushed to the door. She stopped short of the door though and doubled back to take her cup of coffee.

"I'll bring the mug back later" she called to Luke.

"Don't break it!" Luke called after her.

Rory was happily walking down main street watching the many interesting people. Talor was agrily telling Curt off for something he had done. Mrs Patty and Babet were discussing the newest rumors.

BRRRRRRRRIIINNG

Rory cell phone went off.

"Hello" she said picking it up.

There was no answer, but something about this phone call seemed familiar. She could here someone breathing on the other end.

"Jess?" she questioned "Come on Jess I though you had stopped doing this. I've moved on and you should to" she said.

There was another long pause.

"I'm going to hang up now" Rory said.

Another pause.

"I need to see you" Jess said.

"What?!" Rory cried, looking around and making sure that no one was listening.

"We need to talk" Jess said.

"About what?" Rory asked.

"You'll see, just meet me in the park tonight at 9" Jess said ans then hung up.

"He's crazy, there's no way I'm going" Rory was mumbling to herself.

"Who's crazy?" Lorelai asked popping up beside her.

"No one" Rory replied, startled.

"Oh...Okay" Lorelai said.

They walked for a few minutes in silence.

"So I made that list of things that we're going to do tonight" Lorelai said cheerfully.

"I'm really not in the mood today" Rory replied.

"Oh" Lorelai said.

"Why don't you just go and spend the night with Luke tonight" Rory suggested.

"Okay" Lorelai replied.

00000000000000000000000000000000000

Lorelai had left an hour ago to go over to Luke's. Rory was sitting on the couch starring at the front door. She couldn't stop thinking about what it might be that Jess wanted to talk about.

Curiousity got the better of her and she headed to the park. She walked with a quickened pace and was at the park in no time. When she got there she spotted Jess sitting on a bench.

He hadn't seen her yet so she took a minute to just watch him.
