(A/N: This fan fiction is set a week or 2 after the episode when Rory got her acceptance letters and delivered a speech for the Chilton Bicentennial. Please read and review!)

Rory and Jess were sitting in Luke's apartment watching a movie. They were both in particularly good moods that night and were feeling very good about the relationship. When the movie was over at about 9, Rory decided it was probably time for her to go home.

When Jess pulled into the driveway, he decided to be a good guy and walk her to the porch, expecting a goodnight kiss that way anyway.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow," said Rory, wishing she didn't have to leave.

"Yeah, tomorrow..." Jess replied, feeling the same way.

Then, Jess leaned in to kiss her goodnight. Afterwards, he started to leave but she kissed him again. This went on for a while until Jess finally asked,

"Where's your mom?"

"She's in New York City at a musical with Sookie and Jackson. She's not supposed to be home until some time after 1"

"Really, a musical?"

"Yeah, Jackson's friend got the tickets and he came down with the flu so they dragged mom into it instead."

"Your mom will be singing show tunes all week." He said sarcastically.

"Yeah, probably. Those songs are always annoying but very catchy."

There was a long pause.

"Jess?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to come in for a while? I think there's some pizza left in the fridge from last night."

"Are you sure it's ok?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Alright, I'll stay for a while."

Rory got the key from its hiding spot and opened the door. After hanging up her coat, she said,

"I have to check the answering machine. Why don't u get the pizza out of the refrigerator and warm it up in the microwave for a minute or two."

"Yes ma'am."

"Hey, don't mock!"

While she was checking the machine, Rory heard Jess say,

"There's only one piece left, and guess who's going to eat it!"

"Hey, wait a minute!" She called back, rushing to the kitchen.

He already had the slice warmed up and was holding the plate in his hand.

"Oh, did you want some too?" He asked teasingly.

"Yeah, actually I did," she replied trying to sound irritated.

"Well if you want it that much, you're going to have to come and get it"

He held out the plate for her to grab, and then pulled it away quickly when she tried to take it.

"C'mon Jess! At least share it!"

"Why share when I can have the whole thing?"

He held it out and pulled it back again. At that point, Rory started to come towards him and he ran away into her room. When she caught him, he pulled her close and kissed her, causing them to fall back onto her bed. The pizza dropped to the floor, but neither of them cared. They were both caught up in the moment, forgetting everything but each other.
