Rory walked down the streets of Stars Hollow with one of her best friends, Lane. "So Jess moved back here," Lane said. "Yes, he said that something, or someone changed his mind," Rory told her. "Are you thinking about him," Lane asked noticing Rory's smile. "No, I'm looking at Jay," Rory pointed to Jay. "Jay was eating popcorn and watching Luke and Taylor argue. Rory and Lane walked up behind Jay. They both looked up. "What is that," Lane asked. "That is Taylor's new promo for his candy shop," Jay laughed. The promo was right in front of Luke's Diner, it pointed next door to the shop. It was a picture billboard of Taylor that sat on a sturdy, heavy stand on the ground. He had that smile of his plastered on his face with teeth showing, which made it look even creepier than it already did, and he had the matching hat and uniform. "Take it down Taylor," Luke yelled. "Then how are more people gonna come to my shop," Taylor asked. "Less people are gonna come when they think that the loser on that billboard that is scaring there children is working there," Luke yelled. "That billboard does not scare children," Taylor yelled back. "It scares me," Jay spoke up. "It does look kinda creepy Taylor," Rory agreed. "It does, doesn't it," Lane said. "Taylor, it's even scaring teenagers," Luke said. "They don't count, I know them. Until I see," Taylor was cut off by a cry. "Mommy, it's scary," a little boy cried clinging to his mommy. "Don't worry honey. Don't cry," his mother said. She glared at Taylor, "Take it down!" "Proof, proof, proof, and more proof," Luke yelled waving his hand around from Jay, to Rory, to Lane, and to the little boy with his mother down the street. "Fine, it will be down in two hours. I swear, people in this town do not understand good advertisement when they see it," Taylor rambled walking in his shop. "You know something," Luke said. "What Luke," Rory asked. "That thing scares me too," Luke said and walked back in his diner.
Just as Luke walked in, his diner, Lorelai walked up to the girls. "Hi gir…oh, my god!" Lorelai noticed the giant Taylor billboard. "Scary isn't it," Lane asked. "Oh, my god," Lorelai repeated. Lorelai pointed to Jay and motioned for her to follow. She obviously had something she needed Jay to do that she didn't trust Michel with. Sure enough Jay and Michel were cousins by their fathers, but she could trust Jay with more stuff. Miss. Patty and Dean walked over and stared at it. "Now that's scary," Miss. Patty said. "Stop staring it will blind you," Luke said sticking his head out the diner door. Dean tapped Rory on the shoulder getting her attention. "Can we talk," he asked. Rory was shocked at first, but they nodded. They walked to a bench and sat down. "Uh, I just wanted to say I'm sorry," Dean admitted. "For what," Rory asked. "For leaving things the way I did," Dean said. They hadn't noticed that Lane had been walking a slow circle around them. She would move her head from Dean to Rory depending on who was talking. "It's ok Dean," Rory said. Lane looked at Dean. "I just thought I didn't fit into your life anymore," Dean said. "You always will. I had my first kiss with you. You were my first boyfriend," Rory said. "And first love. Don't forget first love," Lane added. They both looked at Lane. "Yeah, what she said," Rory gave Lane a when did you get there look. "Yeah," Dean said, "So can we be friends again because I miss you." She looked at him. "I mean, like friends miss friends," Dean said clearing himself. "Friends," Rory agreed. They hugged each other. Jess watched this encounter from the window of the diner and smirked. 'If he thinks he's gonna get Rory back, he's wrong!'
