Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to The Gilmore Girls show.
(I am the very happy owner of a crush and some pictures of Jess though! Teehee!)
AN/ This is set right when Jess arrives in Stars Hollow and Rory hasn't met him yet.
Rory smiled softly trying to take all of it in.
She was trying to store this moment in her head. So, that she could remember it forever.
She was of the opinion that you only got a few of these moments in your life and that they were precious.
She was sitting on the back porch swing at Dean's house.
Dean was sitting there and she was leaning into his arms swinging them slowly back and forth with her foot, which rested lightly on the cement.
It was a clear night and the sky was full of stars.
She could smell wet, newly, mowed grass, and the air was peppered with the sweet smell of violets and honeysuckle.
She was wearing a breezy, flower print sundress with a ruffle on the bottom.
Her feet were bare and propped up on the part of the swing that wasn't being sat on. It was a three-person swing.
It was a warm, summer night and she could hear crickets chirping.
She tilted her head back to look at Dean.
He had an amused grin on his face as he stared at her.
"Rory?" Dean asked.
"Hmm?" Rory sighed.
"You're so quiet. Is something wrong?" Dean asked.
"No! Everything is just so…perfect." Rory said a small smile appearing on her lips.
"Good." Dean said.
"Don't you think so?" Rory asked.
"Now that you pointed it out, yeah I guess it is." Dean said nodding his head a little.
"Well, that was romantic!" Rory grinned.
"Rory, you're a girl." Dean said.
"I'm glad you noticed." Rory joked.
"You know what I mean. Girls look at things different than guys. You think roses are romantic. I think that a football is romantic." Dean laughed.
"A football? You have to be kidding!" Rory asked incredulous.
"Well, as long as it's given with love." Dean chuckled.
"Dean, just close your eyes, and take a whiff of the flowers, and the wet grass! Listen to the crickets! Think of where you are! You'll see how romantic it is!" Rory said waving her hand toward the darkness.
"Fine." Dean smiled closing his eyes.
Rory was looking at him awaiting his reaction. When she saw it, suddenly a green balloon filled with water dropped out of nowhere, and landed directly on Dean's head breaking, and soaking him with water!
Rory looked at Dean horrified.
Where had that come from?
Who had dropped it?
She looked up.
Rory saw a face in the leaves of a tree. The tree branched out over the open porch.
The face quickly disappeared when it saw that Rory was looking.
Dean was now swiping water from his eyes and hair.
He looked up, but saw nothing in the tree.
Dean looked at Rory.
Rory looked at Dean.
Then they both leapt up from the swing, and ran to the tree.
Dean climbed up to have a look, but saw no one.
"Let's go look for whoever dropped it!" Rory said.
"But, we didn't see anyone! If we don't know who we're looking for, what's the point?" Dean questioned.
"I saw a face! I don't know who it was, but I think if I saw it again I would recognize it!" Rory said.
"Rory, let's search tomorrow. I want to get dried off, and it's getting late anyway." Dean replied.
"Oh. Okay." Rory said a little disappointed.
She wasn't ready to go home yet, so after a goodnight kiss Dean went inside, and she headed for the bridge.
The bridge was her favorite place in Stars Hollow. Besides Luke's Diner that is.
When she arrived at the bridge, she was surprised to see another person sitting in the middle of it, with their feet hanging over
the edge.
"Hello?" Rory called walking to the middle.
"Hi." A guy said as she sat down.
"What's your name? Are you new here?" Rory questioned.
"Jess. And yeah I'm new here, unfortunately." The guy said finally looking at her.
Rory sucked in her breath.
That was the face that she had seen in the tree.
"Jess, can I ask you something?" Rory asked uncertainly.
"Why not? You're going to anyway." Jess replied.
Rory rolled her eyes. This guy had a major attitude problem.
"Why did you drop a water balloon on my boyfriend's head?" Rory demanded.
Jess looked startled. "Excuse me?"
"Yeah. Excuse you! You had no right to do that!" Rory said.
"Are you serious?" Jess asked laughing.
This made Rory very angry. How dare he laugh at her!
"Yes, I am very serious! I want to know why you did it!" Rory exclaimed.
"Have any proof?" Jess asked.
"I saw you!" Rory said.
"And who is going to believe you?" Jess asked.
"Everybody!" Rory said confidently.
"Yeah right!" Jess snickered.
"Oh. They will! And you know who else will?" Rory asked.
"No. Please tell me, so I'll be just as informed as you are!" Jess said sarcastically.
"My boyfriend! You know the big, tall, strong, guy that you dropped a water balloon on!" Rory replied.
"I'm sorry, I have know idea who you are talking about! The guy I dropped a balloon on was a flag pole that could be pushed over with a feather!" Jess laughed again.
"Who are you?" Rory asked in disgust.
"I already told you." Jess replied.
"You can't be related to anyone in this town!" Rory said.
"Why? Because you all live in this perfect town where everyone leaves their doors unlocked, and nobody knocks? Is that why? And why should I tell you who I am? I don't even know your name!" Jess exclaimed.
Rory realized that he was telling the truth! She hadn't told him her name! "Rory."
"Fine. I'm Luke's nephew." Jess stated.
"Oh! I totally forgot that Luke had a nephew coming!" Rory said a little embarrassed that she had forgotten.
"And in answer to your question, I don't like your boyfriend. I never will." Jess said still looking directly into her eyes.
Wow! He has amazing eyes! Rory thought. Wait! Stop that! You have a boyfriend Rory! You're not allowed to think that! Rory scolded herself.
"Why not?" Rory asked.
"Because he's him, and I'm me!" Jess said simply.
"You don't even know him!" Rory objected.
"Listen Rory, I don't like him and that's all you need to know." Jess replied.
"I have to go." Rory said.
And with that she got up and left.
