It had been an interesting day for Stars Hollow, Lorelai hadn't been seen in the diner, Luke was standing behind the counter staring at Jess in fact every customer in the diner was staring at Jess.
The usual sarcastic smirk was missing from his face and he had a genuine smile, his normally obscene t-shirt had been replaced with a button up shirt, his hair was still styled and gelled but the general consensus with the townsfolk was that it was more styled and had even more gel than normal.
But what they were really watching was how fast Jess' head flicked towards the door every time it opened. It was clear to see he was waiting on someone the problem was that Jess had no friends in Stars Hollow so who or what was he waiting on?
So focused on Jess the biggest town gossips missed the arrival of the bus, they also missed seeing a short, thin brunette with bright blue eyes dressed in black ripped skinny jeans, worn black converse, red vest top and a black leather jacket step off the bus with an old green duffle bag hanging off her tiny shoulder.
The entire diner including Luke looked on in shock as the bell above the door rang and Jess threw the rag in his hand down and ran towards the tiny girl that entered with a huge smile on his face.
They were even more shocked when the girl dropped her duffle and jumped into his arms wrapping her jean clad legs around his waist and her leather clad arms around his neck and snuggled into him.
The girl was so small the onlookers at first thought she was a kid until she dropped from Jess and they saw her face right before her and Jess leaned in and kissed.
Luke was surprised when he saw his sarcastic ass of a nephew kiss the tiny girl so gently and with so much emotion it was clear to the entire diner.
When the couple pulled apart Jess grabbed the bag and sat her at a stool at the counter and without asking poured her a huge mug of coffee and stood next to her with his arm over her shoulders playing with the ends of her hair. The girl reached her arm around Jess and pulled his book from his back pocket before opening it and starting to read from a random page.
Luke cleared his throat and stared at Jess waiting to be introduced to the girl who was clearly his girlfriend and who he had never heard of.
"Uncle Luke this is my girlfriend Lora, Lo this is my Uncle Luke. He's pretty cool so be nice." Jess introduced them and smirked as Lora gave Luke a once over before smiling her bright cheeky smile that Jess loved and shaking Luke's hand quickly.
"Nice to meet you Luke, you have no idea how happy I am that you let Jess come here." Lora said in a New York accent.
Luke just nodded and gave a rare smile and refilled her coffee cup before going back to work.
The diner had just settled down after the afternoon shock that is until Lorelai finally appeared like a hurricane babbling about someone being missing and her getting killed and failing before she got a chance.
Jess and Lora just exchanged a look and smirked before watching as she freaked out right next to them. Jess cleared his throat and when Lorelai looked at him he tilted his head in Lora's direction and winced as Lorelai let oit a shriek before starting to ramble on again.
"My god Rory what the hell, you were meant to meet me at my house when you got off the bus and instead your here doing something with a boy you don't know and why are you here and how was the trip and what are you wearing and..." she stopped talking as Lora quickly cut her off.
"First my name is Lorelai or Lora for short not Rory. I got off the bus and wanted coffee and in case you forgot i don't know where your house is, you were meant to meet me at the bus stop. I do know Jess he's my boyfriend and has been since we were thirteen and all i am doing with him at the moment is drinking coffee and reading his book. As for the rest it's none of your business I am only here cause dad didn't want to screw up my education." Lora answered her then sat back leaning on Jess waiting for the explosion.
The diner customers sat there shocked about the information drop and stayed silent to hear the rest.
