The area was dimmed, the only light radiating on the two people slow dancing on the gazebo. Her blue dress. His black suit. Undoubtedly, their eyes were twinkling. The song playing was Over the Rainbow. The townspeople watched, but the couple did not care. They didn't care when they first started dating. Rory laid her head on Jess's chest, he hummed to the song.

"Jess?" She slightly lifted her head.

"Hum?" He smiled down upon her.

"I just realized we are like Elizabeth and Darcy."

"How so?" He hugged her tighter.

"At the first impression at the assembly, most everyone hated Darcy. At first glance, Darcy and Elizabeth seem to have nothing in common; a polar opposite. Slowly, Lizzy starts to fall for Fitzwilliam. Yeah, they had some rough patches, but, they have a happy ending anyway," She whispered. Jess kissed Rory's hair.

"Ms... Bennet." He mused.

"Mr. Darcy."

"I'll love you forever." Their eye's met.

"I love you Jess." They kissed as the song ended. Their was a short applause as Jess led Rory down the stairs.

"Happy for you," Luke patted Jess's shoulder. Jess turned around.

"Have you alway's been bad at expressing emotions? I mean since you got married, I thought it would be getting better." Jess's smiled widely.

"Watch it." Luke smiled back. Jess led Rory to one of the many small tables around the town square. Obviously the whole town was invited. Taylor had his arms crossed over his chest through the whole night. He was deeply upset that he was completely wrong about the relationship between of Rory and Jess. Rory threw a thumbs-up at Lane; Lane started to play the music. Church on Sunday suddenly commenced.

"I picked that one myself." Jess announced proudly. They sat down. "Rory?" She turned her head to him. "Thank you."

"For what?" Rory laughed.

"Everything. I mean it." Jess said slowly.

"Aww, Jess, your turning into a softie!"

"Don't tell your mom. I have an image to maintain. "He smirked.

"I love you too."

Luke walked towards Lorelei. "Hey, how are you?"

"Good. I'm just glad that she ended up with him." They watched Jess and Rory talking.

"Yeah, I always told you Jess was a good kid."

"You told me that since he first looked at her." Lorelei turned away, Luke followed.

"Sure took 'em awhile. "

"Can't forget though, they but changed because of it. Jess—somewhat-- settled down. With Rory… I just can't explain it. "There was a tear slowly running down her face.

"What's wrong?" Luke began to panic.

"Rory, my baby is leaving. We aren't the Gilmore Girls anymore. "Lorelei hugged Luke. She cried freely into his chest.

'She isn't leaving. And as long as Stars Hollow exists, you two will always be the Gilmore Girls. Jess and Rory just want to get away for awhile, for all we know, they might want to move her someday." Luke whispered in her ear. If Jess can endure this tow's awful attitude towards him, he could live here. Already they are giving him an easier time "

"Thanks," Lorelei ended the hug and looked back at them. "Oh no, let's go rescue them." At Jess's and Rory's table, Emily and Richard were talking to them Jess looking very uncomfortable.

"Got it."

Slowly the lawn was filled by dancers, Rory and Jess in the middle of it all. Rory had her head nestled into Jess with her eyes closed. Someone tapped Jess's shoulder. He stopped and turned around.

"Uh-may I?" Luke stood.

"Oh, yeah, sure." Luke was soon dancing slowly with Rory. Jess stood awkwardly.

"Hey Jess?" Lorelei walked up to him. "Wanna dance?"

"Sure?" It sounded more like a question, but that didn't stop Lorelei. After a minute in silence, "So, Lorelei. Do you still hate me?" He asked slowly.

"No Jess, I don't think I really did. I just didn't want Rory to be hurt."

"C'mon, I've done some really shitty things in the past."

"As Rory would say, 'without the past, there is no future'. The future is this. You and Rory."

"Whoa."

"Yes, I surprise myself."

Luke led as Rory and he rotated.

"Hey Luke?"

"Yeah?' He looked down.

"Thanks for being more of a father than mine ever was."

"I wouldn't have done it differently. "

The party dwindled. Lane and Rory were talking. Jess was helping Luke and Lorelei clean up. Lane and Rory hugged and Rory silently crept up behind Jess. Lorelei saw Rory and nudged Luke. They both stared.

"Boo!" Jess jumped.

"Jeez, Rory!" Everyone else started to laugh.

"Alright," Luke and Lorelei walked to them. "Here are your plane tickets." Luke pulled them out of the inside of his jacket.

"Is the apartment in New York set?" Lorelei asked.

"Yeah," Rory answered.

"Alright when you go back home, look around to see if you missed anything and Luke and I will bring it to your place when you come back."

"Okay," Jess answered. They had already been told this.

"When you arrive at the airport, we'll be there and then we'll all drive to your new place. "

"Okay, okay," Jess said dully. "Oh hey, don't forget to drive the car back here."

"Okay, okay." Lorelei mimicked Jess. "I'll give you fifteen minutes, then Luke and I will follow you to the airport. "

Rory and Jess walked away. When they were sure no one could see them, Jess picked up Rory. He let her down when they made it to the house. She led him to her room. Jess slowly started to undress Rory.

"Jess, ten minutes and we are leaving."

"So?' He undid his tie.

"Jess," she warned.

"For you." Jess put on a long sleeved shirt. And put on jeans. He was struggling to tie his boots when the front door opened.

"Coming!" Rory called. Jess picked up the three suitcases. Luke helped him put them in the trunk.

"Hey, you sure you don't want us to drive you there?"

"We're sure. Let's go, the guys are ready."

Rory leaned into Jess the whole way to the airport. A comfortable silence between them,

"Bye mom," Lorelei and Rory hugged each other tightly.

"See you in two weeks, kiddo." Jess and Luke had their arms across their chests.

"We don't have to hug or anything." Luke nodded.

Lorelei turned to Jess, she hugged him. At first Jess awkwardly stood their, but slowly he hugged back. "Sorry, I'm not so good at this whole showing-emotions thing."

"You're doing fine." She smiled. They broke up.

"Here are the keys to the car. " Jess grabbed the keys from his pocket and handed them to Lorelei.

"Bye Jess," Jess and Luke nodded heads again and he and Rory made their way to the plane. "Rory, Jess!" Lorelei called. They turned around. "God save the Queen!"

"She ain't no human being," Jess called back.

Jess leaned his head against Rory in his seat. "Two weeks. England. Just you and me. I think this is your grandparent's finest hour."

Rory laughed, "They almost died when I told them we didn't need first-class." She stifled a yawn.

"Tired?" He asked softly

"Kinda." Jess reached down to the floor to their backpack, he retrieved a book, and a pen.

"Go on to sleep. You aren't going to miss anything."

"What are you reading?"

"Nothing," he said a little too quickly. He realized this after he said it.

"Come on, what is it?" She nudged his stomach playfully. He sighed.

"Well—I knew one of your favorites is— Pride and Prejudice, so I—bought a new copy. Then with your reference to it tonight, I decided to—read it. "Oh this is it, she's gonna laugh. Call me stupid. Damn. He sighed and looked away. Any second now, there I am, screwing up everything.

"I love you," she whispered.

"Wait—what?" Was he not paying attention?

"I think what you doing is sweet, adorable, and nice. " She nestled her head in his neck.

"I- I love you too…Mrs. Mariano." Jess pulled the armrest between them up,

"Mr. Mariano." Rory wrapped her arms around his waist, placing her head on his chest. Jess grabbed the pen, and started to read.

Her eye's flutter opened, her arms holding onto Jess's. His left arm rested underneath her neck, the other wrapped itself tightly around her chest. Rory smiled, when Jess and her got together for the last time, he promised her that he would not have sex with her. He said that it ruined some relationships. He didn't want to risk it with her. He never broke his promise. It was the first time she noticed how much he changed. She was so proud of him. She still is.

Rory quietly turned around she faced him. Jess's mouth was slightly open, and he looked peaceful. Rory knew that Jess had many walls built inside of him, and that even twenty years from now, he wouldn't reveal all. She happily accepted this, for that was Jess. Just the length at where he was now was good enough. She buried herself in his bare chest, Jess's arms tightened around her. He mumbled in his sleep. Suddenly, Jess grabbed Rory and rotated her on top of him.

"I said, stay with me." He kissed her.

"What do you mean?"

"The whole day, just you and me here, in this room. We have ample amount of time to explore England."

"If you say so," she kissed him.

Rory settled into the bathtub. She had the bubbles up to her chin, something that was impossible since the tub at home was small. She immersed herself into her book; Pride and Prejudice, she happily found cramped notes scribbled on the margins.

"Ah!" A yell made her throw her book aside from shock. Jess stood in a towel around his waist, a foot away from the golden tub.

"What's that matter?" Rory laughed out.

"It's hot! It just surprised, that's all," he mumbled. He bent down to retrieve Rory's book; a quick, easy way to hide his embarrassment.

"Are you alright now?" She continued to laugh.

"Yeah," he surly answered.

"Aww, don't be like that. Here I was reading, and all of a sudden I hear you scream."

"I do not scream. I yelled in shock." He grinned a little. "It was pretty stupid." Jess kissed her, it quickly grew more passionate. "Move over," he whispered in a deep voice. She complied. "What part are you at?' He asked as he settled in.

"At the part where you wrote, 'Darcy is a dumbass'."

"See, that doesn't help me at all. I wrote that a lot."

"Did not!" She started to flip through the book. "You did!"

"I only speak the truth." He smirked.

"Um, I'm at the part where Darcy admits the inferiority of the possible marriage between him and Elizabeth."

"So, I was right; he needs to get over his arrogant self." Rory playfully rolled her eyes.
