Rory heard a huge crash from the kitchen and woke up. She could have slept a couple of hours more, but no, her mother had to make a mess. She rustled in her bed, trying to cover up the sound, but it was no use. Rory sat up and pulled the covers off of her. She quickly walked over to her bathroom and pulled on a bathrobe. When she went in the kitchen she found Lorelai surrounded by pots and pans on the floors. "What are you doing on the floor?" Rory asked in an annoyed tone.
"Look at who woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Lorelai stated with a grin. "And let me give you a clue, it isn't me."
"Ok, let's go back to the whole you are on the floor making nice conversation with the pots and pans." Rory complained. "And if you try to change the subject, you die." Rory yawned and sat at the kitchen table her head leaning on her arm. She was falling asleep. "Make it quick, I'm falling asleep."
"I want to cook!" Lorelai exclaimed getting herself off the floor and taking a seat next to a almost sleeping Rory. "I want to cook food from all over the world, and I want to know what the oven is for. And what that weird electrical thingy does. I want to own a cooking show, and every time I go to the market buy real food like lemons." Lorelai said with energy. "So... what do you think?"
"I think that you are crazy and sleep deprived." Rory mumbled. Just then, the door opened to show Jess standing there with a box in his hands. Rory didn't notice, so she kept sleeping on the kitchen table. Lorelai looked puzzled as why he was there.
"Hi." Lorelai said. "What are you doing here?" Lorelai asked looking at Jess, then at Rory who had no idea he was there.
"Luke asked me to drop off some stuff." Jess replied and closed the door with his foot. "What's wrong with her?" Jess asked looking at Rory. "She looks like she's unconscious." Jess commented.
"Well, she pretty much is when she's sleeping." Lorelai stated.
"Sleeping?" Jess looked confused.
"Yeah, she's mad at me because I wanted to cook and the pots and I were talking. Lemons." Lorelai rambled. "Ok, maybe I am sleep deprived." Jess looked at her oddly.
"I will never be able to understand you or Rory." Jess said under his breathe, but loud enough so Lorelai could hear him. Then, suddenly Rory opened her eyes and saw Jess staring at her, she looked startled. "Morning." He smirked. She stared at him open eyed. Rory sat up and put her hands in her lap, showing her pajamas which were bunny pajamas. "Nice bunnies." Jess laughed and Rory blushed.
"Yeah, well, they are." Rory stated. "What are you doing here so early?"
"Well, Luke thought that you guys wouldn't be up, so I would have just left the box here on the counter." Jess said putting the box down. Lorelai looked at the tension between them, and she suddenly felt in the middle. "Ok, well, I should get going, Luke is going to go crazy on me." Jess stated. "As you were." He smirked once more and then he was out the door.
"Well that was embarrassing." Rory exclaimed looking at her mom.
"Don't look at me, I didn't have anything to do with it." Lorelai smirked.
"I am wearing bunny pajamas." Rory complained. "He will be able to mock me for the rest of my life." Rory pouted, and caught her mother smiling. "Don't smile, just because he can black mail me does not mean that you can. Now, I'm going into my room to get a normal amount of sleep, bye." She walked into her room and slammed the door.

Rory walked through the town on her way to the market to meet Dean. He had told her the night before that he wanted to do something today, and she was stuck, and couldn't get out of it. Rory opened the door to the market and saw Dean in isle four putting some stuff on the shelves. She sneaked up behind him and tapped on his shoulder, he jumped but then turned and saw Rory, he greeted her with a kiss.
"You scared me." Dean stated with a smile.
"I didn't know that you didn't like to be scared." Rory replied. "You told me that you wanted to do something today, so I came right to the source." Rory smiled. He nodded and put the box he was carrying down.
"Alright, but I don't get out until like two hours." Dean said with a sigh. "I know it sucks, but Taylor told me that he needed me because Rick called in sick. And I'm the only bag boy left." He looked disappointed, but she felt a little relieved that she didn't have to go watch The Lord of the Rings, again. But, she quickly hid it with a frown. "Once I get out, we'll go eat something, okay?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, whatever you want." Rory smiled. "Well, I guess that I'll be off to the movies alone, then. Bye." Rory gave him a kiss on the cheek and waved goodbye one last time. When she walked outside the cold air immediately hit her in the face, and she shivered slightly. Wow, she couldn't believe that it was already so cold, so soon. Then, she saw that the clouds were pretty cloudy, and that meant that it was going to snow. She didn't want to be caught in the middle of the snow, so she hurried down the sidewalk and into the theater where Kirk greeted her. "Hey, Kirk." Rory smiled.
"Hello Rory. How are you today?" Kirk asked.
"Oh fine, I want to see a movie. How much is it for... Ooooo! Pippi Longstocking!" Rory exclaimed. "Oh my god, me and my mom haven't seen that in such a long time." Rory smiled. "I will take one ticket for Pippi please." Kirk nodded and handed her a ticket. Rory walked into the theater and saw an empty seat in the middle, she quickly sat down and got settled down to watch her movie. She was really into the movie when she felt something tapping on her head, so she turned her head to find a dark figure smirking at her. Then, she realized it was Jess, he was throwing pop corn at her! She turned her body to face him. "What are you doing here?" Rory exclaimed, and heard a lot of voices shushing her.
"Just wanted to see a ten year old hold up a horse." Jess smirked leaning a little closer to her. "Good old family fun."
"Ok..." Rory rolled her eyes. "Were you throwing pop corn at me?" She asked annoyed.
"Might have, don't remember." Jess shrugged. "Why are you talking to me?"
"Because, you were throwing pop corn at me! That deserves a little conversation." Rory complained. "Plus, unless I want my hair all nice and buttered, I have to defend myself."
"Hey, hey, hold on. I was just screwing with you." Jess smirked. "Although, I don't mind your conversation."
"Ok, turning around now." Rory stated and looked back at the screen. She smiled under in the dark and she wanted to look back at him, but knew she couldn't. Then, she saw Jess walk over to the seat next to her, and just sit down. She was surprised, but didn't mind his company. "Your sitting next to me." Rory stated the obvious.
"Wow, you sure are smart." Jess said in a sarcastic voice. So, they sat in silence while they watched the movie. It's not that either of them didn't want to say anything, it was that they simply didn't have anything to say. He stared at her, and smirked.
"Stop that." Rory demanded.
"Stop what?"
"Stop watching me while I watch the movie, It's really annoying." Rory smiled. He still stared at her, and she sighed. "Yet, your still staring."
"Where's Dean?" He asked out of the blue.
"Random Jess strikes again." Rory stated with a smirk. But, he looked at her still. "Why are you so interested anyway?" Rory asked. She wondered if he would tell her the truth, or just lie and completely lie to her face.
"I was just wondering why you are at the movies alone, when you could be with Dean." Jess stated now looking at the screen. "Besides, that guy is so possessive of you, that you would think that he would hold on to you every time he could."
"Well, it just so happens that Dean is working later than usual today, so it was nearly impossible for him to come with me." Rory said. "Besides, I can do stuff by myself without Dean, it's the 21ST Century, you know." The movie ended before he could respond and once the credits started he grabbed her hand and lead her outside. "Hey! What are you doing?" Rory asked as she was being pulled by the hand down the street.
"If I told you that it wouldn't be any fun." Jess smirked. She tried to pull away from his grip, but he was way stronger than her. They were now running down the street, well, it was almost like Jess was pulling Rory down the street. Then, she suddenly felt a bit of excitement. She had never felt this with Dean, it was something new, and she liked it. Then, they reached their destination, the bridge. Rory felt a little confused as why they were there, but she followed him. They both sat down on the edge of the bridge.
"What are we doing here?" Rory asked.
"I like this place." Jess smiled, which he rarely did. "It's a good place to think."
"Ok, but did you have to kidnap me to get me here?" Rory asked looking at Jess. He shrugged, but then nodded and smirked. They both stared down at the water, that looked like it was icy cold. A couple of minutes later, snow started to fall and they were starting to get wet. "It's freezing and it's starting to snow. After we get out of here we're going to be soaking wet and have pneumonia."
"Well, at least we have a plan." Jess looked at Rory, who was smiling and looking at the snow. He loved her innocense when she did stuff like that, that's one thing that he liked about her. Then, he noticed that she was shivering because of the cold. He took his scarf and put it around her neck.
"I can't take this. Your going to freeze to death." Rory said with a worried face.
"It's okay. You'll know when I'm actually freezing to death, I'll be all blue. Then you can get worried." She nodded. The scarf smelled like Jess, it was weird to think about but it did. Maybe a little bit of cigarette smell, and his cologne. Man, he smelled good. God, she shouldn't be having these thoughts, just eliminate them from her brain. Then, she suddenly thought that she couldn't be there anymore, she would be thinking these thoughts if she was with him.
"Umm, I gotta go." Rory made up her mind. "Thanks for everything, Jess. Bye." Rory walked down the bridge leaving Jess wondering why she had left so soon, what had he done? But, she turned around and waved with a big smile on her face. Then, he secretly smiled to himself, he hadn't done anything wrong. Rory shouted out something before she was completely gone, but he heard exactly what she had said, "Good night, Dodger."
