A/N: Hello! Thank you so much for checking out my story. :) It means a lot. So, I used to hate Jess with a burning fiery passion. But now, obviously, I love him. He has officially become my favorite of Rory's boyfriends. I like both Dean and Logan, but now that I look at Jess without prejudice, I find that he was definitely the one for Rory. :) Oh, and please tell me if any of the characters are OOC. I think I'm going to have trouble writing Lorelai... And sorry that this chapter is beyond short. I wanted to set some groundwork. Anyways, here's the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own. (Sorry, couldn't think of anything original or cute or originally cute)


Rory smiled as she pulled into the driveway of her house. Gosh, she missed it here. She had gone on the campaign trail, but she ended up quitting. Now, this isn't something Rory would normally do, but she had her reasons: uncomfortable bus rides, crappy motels, crappy coffee, and, most importantly, she missed her mom, Luke, and her little brother Will.

When she was offered the job on the trail, she was ecstatic. Who wouldn't want to travel the country and listen to politicians speak and debate? But, it was not at all what she expected. She ended up missing her home and family so much that she quit. She new she had an impressive resume and wouldn't have any trouble finding a job closer to home.

Rory stepped out of her car and practically ran to the front door. She rang the doorbell with a huge grin on her face. The door started to open.

"Surpris-" she stopped short when she saw who answered the door. They both stared at each other, completely shocked at the others' presence.

"Jess," she breathed.

A/N: once again, sorry for the shortness! Once again, I promise long future chapters. Review, please!
