Summer ~ After season 2 ends but before season 3.
Rory has kissed Jess but has not spoken to him about it yet. She hasn't
gone to Washington because a sudden change in a decision by the education
board resulted in the school being allowed to send one representative to
Washington. And guess who that is. Yup, President Paris. So Paris is off
acting all Bill Clinton and stuff, while Rory is staying in Stars Hollow.
No Shane but Tristan has come back from military school.

The breeze ruffled her dark hair as she trudged sleepily towards the diner with the hardware store sign. She sighed as she tiredly put one foot in front of the other . . . an oh-so bothersome task. She had gotten little sleep last night due to the fact that she was a) sleeping on a bench in some town in the middle of nowhere and b) dreams kept haunting her. Dreams of him. She shuddered as she pushed open the door to the diner. She was going to put all of that behind her...forever.

The girl walked into the diner and plopped down at the nearest table before promptly burying her head in her arms. Jess felt drawn to her for some reason...she looked familiar. The long, flowing hair dark as night, the familiar position and . . . there was just something about her. Something about her presence. Perhaps you could call it her aura. He mentally laughed at himself for using such a word. It would be sure to break the town headlines. He could see it now: TOWN HOODLUM, HIPPY IN DISGUISE, USES WORD 'AURA'.
Shaking himself from his reverie, he walked towards the girl to take her order. Despite his usual reluctance in participating in actual work at the diner, he found himself wanting to get closer to this stranger.

"Why aren't we bright and chirpy this fine morning?" a voice said, just above her head.
Without even bothering to lift her head, she grumbled, "It's too damn early to be bright and chirpy."
"Ah, that's the spirit. Great way to start the day."
"Just leave me alone, ok?"
"Excuse me, miss, last time I checked you were in a diner. You know, a place where one orders food in order to eat it either in the vicinity or elsewhere. So, unfortunately, you will have to order something in order to stay here. But hey, after that, you're on our own."
The girl finally summoned enough energy to lift her head, and found herself gazing into a pair of familiar eyes. "J-Jess?"

Author's note: Hey ppl. Sorry it's short but I just had to get this idea down. I know, I know. I gotta develop it more and add more detail but just wait for the later chaps ok? Everything will be in more detail, then, ok? And I probably won't be in a rush then, either. Please read and review. Comments = Happy author.
