The New Guy
Rory and Lorelai are walking to Luke's, "So then he said 'if I had a dime for every woman I met that was a pretty as you I'd have a dime.' Isn't that cool?" Lorelai asked.
"That is so corny!" Rory laughed.
"Yeah well thats when I turned it off."
Rory rolled her eyes, "I still can't believe you watch it." She said as they walked into Luke's.
"Whats better than seeing a millionare woman have 25 men, who are very hot I might add, chase after her?" Lorelai asked, sitting down at the counter.
Luke turns around and looks like deth warmed over, "Geez Luke are you okay?" Lorelai asked.
He hands her and Rory a cup of coffee and doesent respond.
Rory and Lorelai look at eachother, "What's wrong?" Lorelai asked.
"Nothing." He grumbled.
Jess comes down the stairs and walks right out the door, "Uh Luke who was that?" Lorelai asked.
"My nephew, Jess." Luke said.
"What's he doing here?" Lorelai asked.
"He lives here now."
Lorelai nodded, "Oh."
"He didn't have a place to go." Luke said.
"It's nice of you to take him in." Rory chimmed in.
"Yeah." Luke said, going back to work.
Rory took a gulp of her coffee and then stood up, "I'm off to Lane's."
Lorelai kissed the air in Rory's direction, "See ya' babe."
[Cut to the Kim's]
Rory walks in and calls for Lane, "Where are you?"
"Over here, behind the...I don't know what it is." Lane said.
Rory smiled and followed her voice, "Hey."
When Lane saw Rory she clapped, "Good job."
Rory sat down next to Lane, "What's up?"
"Nothing new." Lane said.
"I'm going to the book store, wanna come?"
Lane shook her head, "I have to stay here and study."
Rory nodded, "Okay, well I'll let you get back to..." Rory picked up the book and read the cover, "World history."
Lane nodded and smiled, "Thanks a lot."
Rory stood up from her chair and smiled, "Any time."
"Bye." Lane called out as Rory left.
[Cut to the book store]
"Hey Joe, any new books?" Rory asked as she walked in.
The man behind the desk shook his head, "Not since Tuesday."
Rory nodded and went to the back of the store and picked up a book, "Joe, when did you get this in?"
"Get what in?" He asked.
"Howl." She replied.
"Oh, we've had it about a week." He told her.
She nodded, "Okay." She sat down in a chair in the corner and started to read it.
"Have you ever read it before?" A male voice asked her.
Still engrossed in the book she simply shook her head.
"It's really good." He said.
Rory looked up and found a pair of brown eyes looking down at her, "Hi."
He smiled at her, "Hi, I'm Jess."
She nodded, "Luke's nephew." She stated.
"Yeah." He said.
"I was at Luke's when you left this morning, he told me who you are." He looked sad to her, she could tell he tried not to let the hurt show but she could see it in his eyes.
He nodded, "What's your name?" He asked.
"I'm Rory." She held out her hand for him to shake.
"Nice to meet you Rory." He said, shaking her hand.
"You too Jess." She said with a smile, "So have you read this?" She asked, holding up Howl.
He smiled and nodded, "I just told you it was good, how could I have an opinion on it if I've never read it?" He asked.
She blushed a little, "Right."
"What is there to do around here for fun?" He asked.
"You're doing it." She said.
"Books, thats it?" He asked, sure he liked reading, but he did like doing other stuff too.
"I could show you around if you want." She offered.
"Okay."
[Cut to outside Luke's]
"And here is Luke's." Rory said.
"I think I've been here brfore." Jess said.
Rory nodded, "I bet you have, everybody who is anybody hangs out here." She said with a smile.
"Of corse." Jess agreed.
Rory looked at her watch, "I have to go."
Jess nodded, "Okay, well thanks for showing me around."
"No problem." She said as she walked off.
