Rory tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for her mom, Lorelei, to come down stairs and got to Luke's with her. At this rate Rory will miss the bus and then miss out on the most important day of her Chilton life. Today was the day when Rory's class will be given roles for their mock government and Rory did not want to be late for that.

"Mom, hurry up we need to get to Luke's so I can get coffee then catch my bus." Rory yelled up to her mother.

"Rome wasn't built in a day," her mother called back down.

"Yes but I'm sure it took less time then you're taking," Rory muttered under her breath. She thought of what it would be like if Paris got head of parliament, Rory would never hear the end of it. Just then her mother came running down the stairs. "About time!" Rory said turning and walking out the door.

"Sorry, I was on the phone with the inn, the group that booked up the whole inn is snowed in up at Washington and can't come down, this weekend the inn is going to be totally dead!" Lorelei complained and wit that they left the house to go to Luke's.

"You know you could have always just skipped Luke's, there are some fine coffee establishments around Chilton." Lorelei said grunting loudly as she kept up with Rory's brisk pace. Rory would never admit it but the only reason she loved going there was that Jess worked mornings before school and she liked him serving her coffee in the morning.

They finally arrived at Luke's on time as usual; they both sat at a table and watched as the people went by. Rory looked around the diner she saw Luke coming over but still no jess.

"What can I get you guys," Luke asked like as if he had to ask he knew what the two Gilmore girls wanted.

"Two coffees and two um…" Lorelei paused playing a mocking thinking face just to irritate Luke.

"I have other customers," Luke said giving in too easily to Lorelei's antics.

"Its just I was going to order a Danish but then I though do I really want to, then I thought I know I'll just get a coffee but then that wouldn't solve my hunger," Lorelei smiled wickedly as Luke began to get very irritated.

"Mom I'll be late for school," Rory urged so Lorelei finished up their order.

"What is the urgency kid, they know you're the best head for parliament." Lorelei comforted and Rory shrugged. Soon jess came out from behind the bar with their order, which was being served before a couple's who had been in he diner before Lorelei and Rory.

"So soon," Rory asked looking up at jess who handed her what he knew as her half of the order.

"Really," he asked with the same innocent smile he had when he had always done some thing bad. "I didn't realize." Rory repelled his smile with a knowing smile.

"I got to go now," Rory said as she looked at her watch. She stood up and took her food from jess and ran out of the diner. It was a good thing Dean had no way of knowing what she was thinking because he would have killed jess. She stood at her bus stop waiting for her bus to arrive.

"Why's you leave so fast," came a voice from behind her she turned around to see jess.

"Why did you want me to stay longer," she asked and he laughed but Rory didn't know if she should take that as a yes or a no.

"How are things with what's his name," Jess asked, their conversation had always reverted back to Dean and herself.

"We're fine," Rory lied, it hadn't been great she was always distracted when they are together and he always asked Rory when the last time she had seen jess.

"Liar," jess said knowingly as he slinked off towards the school, as he did he turned around and smiled at her before walking off again and then the bus came blocking her view.

She boarded the bus.
