'Time check!' Rory asked breathlessly as she ran into the diner. Stopping at the counter and drinking the waiting coffee in one sip.

'4:45.' Lorelai said to her daughter as Luke came out from behind the curtain that led to his apartment.

'Have you got the bag?' Rory asked desperately trying to catch her breath.

'Hi! Would I forget?' Lorelai asked mock offended handing over the bag full of Rory's clothes.

'Thanks mum. I can hardly turn up to a rock concert in Chilton uniform.' She smiled. Turning to Luke she added 'I need to borrow your apartment for a quick change. I'm meeting Lane and Dean in 15 minutes and I cannot be late.' Rory said heading towards the curtain.

'Sure. Although I should warn…' Luke began but it was to late. Rory had bolted up the stairs on the word sure. She ran into the apartment and tripped over a boy sat on an inflatable mattress.

'Ah!' Rory yelped as she hit the floor.

'Quite an entrance.' The guy smirked. She looked up at him and smiled.

'Sorry. I just need to change.' Rory said holding up the bag. Unable to move away from his gaze. His eyes were captivating.

'Huh?' He replied. Rory got up and hurried into the bathroom. Changing quickly into a pair of jeans and a white top. Putting on a necklace and tightening Dean's bracelet. She returned to the main room where there was a mirror and got out her mascara.

'Going somewhere?' The guy asked. She jumped having forgotten he was there.

'Uh yeah. Rock concert in New York!' Rory replied excitedly.

'In that?' He asked. She immediately stopped what she was doing.

'What's wrong with this?' Rory asked turning to face him. He smirked at her. Though he couldn't help noticing her blue eyes.

'Nothing. So long as you wanted your outfit to scream small town girl.' He replied.

'And who are you exactly?' Rory asked annoyed as she returned to applying her mascara.

'I'm Jess. Luke's nephew.' He answered her, rummaging through a big duffle bag.

'Oh! I heard you were coming.' Rory replied turning back to him with interest. Her eyes rested on a copy of Oliver twist on his makeshift bed. She smiled.

'You are?' He prompted.

'Rory Gilmore. My mum and Luke are close friends.' Rory explained. 'So where'd you move from?'

'New York actually.' Jess answered her question. He couldn't help but watch her as she applied some eyeliner.

'Really? So can you recommend any good parking near the concert?' Rory asked.

'Your driving?' Jess asked. Once again smirking. Rory looked at him, she liked his smirk.

'My boyfriend is.' She replied not noticing the slightly disappointed look on Jess' face.

'You're not going to get parking anywhere near. I suggest parking on 25th and getting on the subway.' Jess offered the information.

'Thanks.' She smiled. 'Right well I should go.'

'Here.' Jess said holding out his black leather jacket.

'What's that for?' Rory asked taking it.

'Makes you look a little less small town. More like New York chick going to the rock concert.' Jess replied casually.

'Thanks.' Rory smiled pulling it on. It felt warm against her bare arms.

'Looks good on you.' Jess couldn't help but smile. Rory looked at her reflection then turned back to Jess.

'You should come.' Rory said grabbing her small handbag.

'OK' Jess answered simply. He wanted to hang out with Rory. 'Uh No!'

'No what?' Rory asked confused.

'You are NOT taking a handbag.' Jess said taking it off her and removing her phone and purse. This is all you'll need. Put it in the pocket of my coat. He looked inside the book and smiled at the copy of Oliver twist she was carrying. He pulled in out and handed it over. 'You may need this as well.' He said grabbing his own copy. Which he'd been reading before she arrived.

'Why can't I take my bag?' Rory questioned.

'You'll be mugged that's why.' Jess replied heading down the steps.

'Oh.' Rory replied as she followed.

'Uncle Luke. Rory invited me to go to this concert in New York' Jess said putting his book in his back pocket.

'Oh right. Well enjoy yourself. What time will you be back?' Luke asked glad that Jess had made a friend so soon after arriving.

'It'll be late.' Rory said catching her mothers eye.

'Nice jacket.' Lorelai commented.

'Uh yeah. Jess lent it to me.' Rory blushed.

'Well. Have a good time. Wait. What is that?' Lorelai asked pulling the book from Rory's pocket. 'A book!'

'What? Jess has one as well. Actually it's the same one.' Rory smiled as they left.
