Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girl

A/N: For anyone reading Gilmore Girls: Season Seven I didn't likeit so this story is kind of replacing it.

"I'm glad you came" Luke smiled weakly.

Jess shrugged he didn't really want to be here.

"Rory's going to be here" Luke said as if that would make Jess want to be here more. Although it really only made him want to puke.

"Great" Jess rolled his eyes.

"I thought you guys were friends now" Luke looked more confused than ever

"Nope" he shook his head.

"What happened" Luke asked.

"I kissed her she kissed me back" he started "she pulled away said she loved Logan and left."

"Wow" Luke's eyes widened.

The door opened and a girl came running through the diner looking for something until her eyes fell on Luke.

"I need to talk to you" she looked angry. Jess quietly walked upstairs.

"What's wrong" Luke asked.

"What's wrong" she yelled.

"Yea Rory why are you storming in here at 11:00" Luke asked.

"Because you hurt her" Rory told him.

"Oh"

"Yeah oh"

"Look Rory this is between your mom and me…"

"No! You hurt my mom you deal with me that's how it works got it"

"Rory go home"

"No I can't stand to watch my strong mother sit in a dark room under a blanket crying so hard that I had to put it in the dryer"

"She cried"

"You broke up with her of course she cried."

At this point Jess had to come down. As much as he didn't want to see his ex-girlfriend he had to see this.

"Jess" Rory looked towards the stairs.

"No I'm not here only Luke is" Jess tried.

"Oh right" she turned her attention back to Luke "what was the big deal about getting married it would fix a lot of the problems."

"I don't want to get married right now"

"WHY!"

"Because I'm just getting to know my daughter"

"So my dad got married while getting to know his daughter"

"Yea and look how that turned out"

"You mean he ended up in bed with my mom"

"HE DID WHAT!"

"Don't be so surprised you led her there. But that's not the point the point is it's ok to get married even if you're getting to know your daughter."

"Not for me" Luke walked upstairs.

Rory fell into a chair and banged her head on the table a few times.

"You know you lose like 100 brain cells every time you do that" Jess joked.

"I tried and I failed I seem to be doing that a lot lately" she cried.

Jess didn't really know what to do. He had two choices comfort the girl he's been in love with since he was 17 or comfort his uncle who put him up and made sure he didn't fall off the face of the earth. He already paid Luke and he was kind of the reason for his problems so Rory it is.

"You didn't fail he'll come around" Jess sat down across from her.

"Will you help me" she asked.

"Get them back together?"

She nodded.

"Yeah of course" Jess nodded "look Rory I know you're with Logan but I really want us to be friends."

"I want us to be friends too" she smiled "I've missed you Dodger."

"I've got to come up with a name for you"

The next day Rory and Jess met at their bridge and started working on a plan. They didn't come up with anything so they just decided to wing it and started reading. At first they were reading separate books but then Rory asked Jess to read to her. Rory somehow ended up asleep on his shoulder. Jess shook her lightly to wake her up. She opened her eyes a little. She looked half asleep.

"I'm having this dream again" she laughed sleepily.

"Rory you're not dreaming" Jess whispered. She looked as if everything had just come back to her and she shot up.

"Guess that's the consequence of my action" she laughed.

"What?"

"I asked you to read Hemingway to me of course I fell asleep" she joked lightly.

Jess started tickling her. She laughed and fell over. Jess knelt beside her and continued tickling her. She stated tickling back. They ended up with her on his lap. Then Lorelai walked by.

"I'm sorry I seem to have walked through a time warp and now I'm in 2003" she shook her head.

"Mom you're out of the house" Rory smiled.

"And you're still on Jess"

Rory stood up then lost her balance and fell backwards pushing Jess into the lake and going in herself. Lorelai laughed. That had been the first time she'd laughed since that night. Rory and Jess swam out of the lake. They were lucky it was summer or they would've been freezing. Jess ran back to the bridge to get his jacket then gave it to Rory. She declined but her wrapped it around her shoulders anyway.

"Can you and Logan switch places" Lorelai mumbled.

"MOM"

"What I didn't say anything"
