Disclaimer: I do not own the Gilmore Girls show or any of the characters.

A/N: Rory and Jess have been together for about four years and Rory has graduated from Yale. Rory works for a paper in New York, but Jess still lives with Luke and Rory still lives with Lorelai.

"Mom, guess what I just read this great new book, and I'm going to write a piece for the paper about it." Rory Gilmore told her mother as she walked into the living room.

Lorelai looked up the sofa, where she had been lying and watching TV. "That's great hon, but what's with the excitement? You write things like that all of the time."

"I know, but this woman is just starting out so it feels good to know that I might help her career along" Rory explained.

"That's good hon.," Lorelai said again, before bouncing off of the couch and heading for the front door. "Come on!"

"Where are we going?" Rory asked as she followed Lorelai toward the door.

"Where do you think?" Lorelai teased.

"Luke's" Rory stated.

"Of course" Lorelai quipped.

Five minutes later, they were seated at the counter at Luke's Diner.

"Hey Luke, I need some coffee!" Lorelai said in a singsong voice.

Luke rolled his eyes, but nevertheless he handed the coffee over.

Rory opened her mouth to ask where Jess was, but he came bounding down the stairs before she could.

"Hi honey" she greeted him affectionately.

"Hey" he returned, but everyone could tell that his mind was elsewhere.

Leaning over the counter he pecked her on the cheek.

"I've got to go," he told her.

"Where are you going?" Rory asked.

"I got to run to the bank for Luke" Jess stated as he hurried out the door.

Lorelai who had been sitting and sipping her coffee quietly while their exchange had taken place spoke up "Rather romantic isn't he?" she asked sarcastically.

"I so don't get him! I try to be all romantic and call him honey, and he just says 'hey' in this bland 'I'm so bored' type voice. Arggg!" Rory said.

Lorelai shrugged. "Who knows? Guys are weird." She stated.

"Anyway, what's on the agenda for today mom?" Rory asked.

"Today we go car shopping!" Lorelai announced.

Rory wrinkled her nose in confusion. "Car shopping?" she asked.

"Yes! Your grandparents have informed me that they are buying us new cars," Lorelai told her.

"Why?" Rory asked.

"Cause they say ours are 'old and junky'. Plus they added 'not safe' to the list." Lorelai informed her.

Rory grinned. "Okay, I'm glad to get a new car. But how come you're so eager to go car shopping? Normally you wouldn't ever accept something that expensive from them." Rory stated.

Lorelai grinned. "Well, if their really going to buy me a new car I figure 'why not'?

Rory laughed. "Well, then let's go!"

Laughing, they grabbed their bags and headed out the door.
