"Ok, well let's go I'll see you later babe. Maybe you should show Dawn and Andrew around Stars Hollow." Lorelai said. As she Buffy, Faith, and Xander left with her.

"Hey, Rory I'll call you later. Nice to meet you Dawn, Andrew bye." Lane said and ran out of the diner and back to her house.

"Your friend is very weird." Dawn said

Yeah I know anyway are you ready for your tour of Stars Hollow?" they nodded, and then all three left the diner. Right after they left the phone rings and Luke picks it up

"Luke's" He said into the phone. When a voice said, "Hey Luke" a shocked expression spreads across Luke's face as he hears that voice. A voice he never thought he would hear again.


Chapter Four –The Hoodlum Wants to Return

Luke's Apartment

Shocked as to who it was on the other line. "Caesar take over." Luke yelled as he went upstairs and used that phone in the apartment upstairs so he could yell. "Jess? What the hell are you calling for I mean you leave with no goodbye or anything and don't call for months then now this, are you in trouble I bet you are aren't you?" Luke hissed into the phone

"Luke, I'm sorry and no I'm not in trouble well any real big trouble." Jess said

"What are you in trouble for…? And why are you sorry?" Luke asked as he started pacing back and forth.

"For leaving with no goodbye, being a jerk when all you wanted to do was help me, for leaving Rory and not passing the 12th grade ok that's why and I realized that what I did was the exact same thing Jimmy did 18 years ago, ok and I want to make things right. Not after 18 years from now, well not over the phone but," he trailed off Luke hears Jess mumble something and asked,

"Yeah Jess you did and I'm glad you want to fix it and what did you say?" Luke asked

Jess sighs then replies, "I said I'm sorry for everything all the trouble I caused you, and that I just proved the town right and ran away from the two people that ever cared about me. Or ever gave a second thought before judging me."

"Again yeah you did" Luke said stopped pacing and sat down at the table and could tell Jess was sincere.

"I know that and I hate myself for it everyday. Please Luke please just let me come back." Jess pleaded.

"You want to come back to Stars Hollow?" Luke questioned Jess

"Yeah, I want to go back to Stars Hollow" Jess replied

"Why? I thought you hated it here." Luke asked

" I don't and it didn't work out in California and because that little freak town is the only place I can really call my home, so again I'm asking you please let me come back."

That was part of the reason but the other part was that strange things had happened and he had, had dreams of people he cared about dieing before his own eyes. So he wanted to make things right even if it was just a dream. It seemed to be a wake up call to him.

"Jess, I don't know" Luke thought 'Jess Mariano was begging to come back to Stars Hollow wow!'

"Luke, please give me a week just a week to show you that I'm different now please, I can't go on like this knowing that I can't tell Rory I'm sorry for hurting her. I hurt her when she didn't deserve it."

Luke thinks about everything his nephew had just said he could already tell that he had somewhat changed he had just begged to come back to Stars Hollow then answered.

"Fine, Jess one week and if you can handle everything and everyone giving you dirty looks and Lorelai trying to kill you then yeah you can come back but you have to do the 12th grade again because I'm not going to fail raising you again." Luke said

"I know all that and you didn't fail me Luke I failed myself and you helped me learn some stuff I can't even explain but you did help and I'm working on getting my GED."

"Wow, where are you anyway?"

"New York, have been here since 3 weeks after I left. Anyway Lorelai can't try to kill me anytime soon since she is in Europe traveling with Rory." Jess said. Still thinking that Luke saying yes was a dream and he would wake up any moment.

"Uh they didn't go after all." Luke said.

"Oh.... so I can come back?" Jess asked

"Yeah, but I swear Jess if you hurt Rory again I will rip your head off with my bare hands and everything has got to be different." Luke told Jess.

"I know that they have to be." Jess said

"Ok good so you got a GED?"

"Yup, I can finish everything within the next week or two since I was staying with some pals and their lease went up so that's another reason I called. I already finished the work they just have to send me the paper saying I passed and they're sending it to you in the first place."

"I get it Jess, I really do but this isn't like you though to talk so much."

"Yeah I know but I've changed for the better." Jess said

"Ok, anyway when are you coming?"

"Um... two or three days maybe" Jess told him

"Ok you do know I have to tell them right?" Luke said

"Yeah I do and I thank you for having to listen to them go on about how it's a mistake but I'm going to prove them all wrong this time." Jess said

"Jess, did you go see a shrink or something?" Luke asked

"Or something. Maybe I did who knows or I could have just really paid attention to what you have said in the past and put it to good use, plus some different reading material."

"Well, what ever it was I'm glad. But it's also creepy." Luke said and both of them chuckled slightly.

"Yeah me to anyway I have to go so I'll see you soon?" Jess said

"Yeah bye Jess"

"Later Uncle Luke"

"Some things never change"

"Nope if they did I wouldn't be me. So I'll see you soon, later"

They both hang up and somewhere in New York you see Jess smiling a real smile then back to the diner and you see Luke also really smiling, as he comes back into the diner but Miss Patty and Babette saw him wondering what made him so happy.

Outside center of town

"There's Doose's Market, The Old Fashion Soda Shop, Miss Patty's Dance Studio, the bookstore and that's Stars Hollow High, the park some houses and there is Luke's which you know of the town square and the gazebo, we have a lot of town festivals here for anything really."

"Your like a tour guide, you know that?" asked Dawn

"Ah…yes but you have much to learn young Skywalker"

"Oh, that's from Stars Wars!!" Andrew yelped and jumped excitedly thinking he'd found someone else who could share his love for Star Wars.

"Yeah it is" Rory replied

"You are a Star Wars fan?" he asked with hopeful eyes, Rory not noticing.

"Oh no but me and my mom have movie nights and we watched one and we just use the lines from it to mock it or what ever." she said.

"You mock Star Wars? I'm insulted." Andrew scoffed after he finished saying that.

" Dawn, Is Andrew always like that?" Rory questioned

"Rory, that's Andrew 24/7" Dawn answered

"Gosh, well he and my mom will get along except for him not drinking coffee part."

They all started walking around again.

"Andrew, I'm sorry for insulting Stars Wars. Can you forgive me? Please do because I can't stand it when people are mad at me you should ask my mom and I'm rambling. I tend to do that a lot." Rory said.

Andrew sighed and then said, "Fine, I forgive you "

"Thanks, so are you guys going to town meeting?"

"What's town meeting?"

"It's when the when the whole town gets together and discuss issues and stuff, plus it's entertainment and you have to pay a fine when you don't go."

"Rory, please tell me your kidding right?"

"Sorry Dawn, I'm not joking." Rory said

"We'll have to talk to Buffy about it." Dawn answered

Dragonfly Inn

As Buffy and Faith followed Lorelai, they had already shown Xander where Tom worked and they were discussing things and the girls were now at the inn.

" So, have you guys done anything like this before?" Lorelai asked

"No" they both replied

"It's ok so you guys can have the jobs but you have to be able to handle working with our crazy French man Michael"

"We can handle him right B?" Faith asked Buffy and she replied

"Yup, always up for a challenge. So do we have to were a certain outfit or something?"

"Nope, just wear whatever you want and here is a list of stuff you can do for today and your schedules, also you should come to town meeting. It's when all of the towns people get together and talk about the town stuff and it's fun to watch Taylor the old guy argue with everyone else."

"Sure when and where is it?" Buffy asked

"It at Miss Patty's dance studio and it starts at 7. So are you all set?"

"Yeah" they both said

"Ok, well if you need any help or have questions just come on into the kitchen and ask Sookie or me. Sookie is the chef by the way. She can cook you something if you hungry later." Lorelai looks at her watch "Oh, I have to go see you two later bye."

After Lorelai said that she ran away trying to find the wedding party for the wedding that was being held today.
