A/N: Once again, thanks to those that read and the reviews. I greatly appreciate the support. Last chapter, I said that I was excited about this chapter. Well, I've actually decided to push it back one more chapter. It was going to be combined with this a shorter version of this chapter but I didn't want to take away from its quality. Sorry for the false hope. Anyways, if you are an R/J and L/L fan then the next chapters you will love. So, on with the story…

"Mom! Are you serious?" Rory asked as she looked at her mother in disgust.

"Yea, afraid so kiddo."

Rory gave an exasperated sigh. She had been quite upset after she heard that Luke and Jess had to attend Friday night dinner with them at her grandparent's house. "I can't believe this. I can't go. Mom, I'm not going to dinner tonight."

"Since when do you not go to Friday night dinner?"

"Mom, I told you what happened last night. I don't want to be anywhere near Jess, not less go to dinner with him."

"Rory, you won't be with him. It's not a date. Besides, your grandmother explicitly asked that Luke and Jess come too since of the wedding. Humor her, she's old and senile. She might not live much longer."

"Mom, stop," Rory said as she chuckled at her mother.

"Aha, I knew I could convince you. How about some coffee. I will definitely have you sitting in the palm of my hand after a cup of joe."

"Coffee sounds great," Rory confessed as she smiled at the thought.

"Good, I'll get the keys."

"What?"

"What? You didn't think that I was going to fix it myself did you?"

"Well…yea. I just told you I didn't want to be around Jess and now you are taking me to Luke's."

"Rory, it's just coffee. Besides, he probably won't be there anyway."

"But…" Rory tried to protest but she couldn't finish her statement before Lorelai pulled her out the door.

Once Lorelai and Rory entered the diner, Luke began pouring them both a cup of coffee. He didn't bother asking them anymore because it was their routine.

"How are my favorite ladies?" he asked.

"Fine," Lorelai answered as she wrapped her arms around Luke and passionately kissed him.

"Hey, I'm eating here," a pesty customer stated.

"If you don't like it, you can leave," Luke answered as he pulled Lorelai closer to him and returned her kiss.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you too."

At that moment, Rory, Lorelai, and Luke glanced over to the stairs as Jess walked down them.

"What do I have something on my face?" he questioned.

Lorelai and Luke ignored his smart comment and talked about wedding details while Rory pretended to be busy.

"So, you and Jess are coming to dinner tonight, right?" Lorelai questioned Luke and glanced over at Jess.

"Yea."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," Jess stated in his traditional sarcastic tone.

"Jess, don't mess this up," Rory pleaded with him.

"Of course not. Why would I do that? I don't want to go anyway."

With that statement, Rory left the diner followed by Lorelai after she said her goodbyes and received one more kiss.

Emily Gilmore ushered in her dinner guests. They were fashionably late so there was no time for cocktails. Instead, the guests went straight to the dinning room to begin dinner. Rory and Lorelai sat on one side of the table while Jess and Luke sat across from them. Emily and Richard took this time to catch up with Jess. It had been a long time since their last dinner together and wanted to know how things were going.

"So, what is it that you do Jess?" Richard questioned.

"I own my own bookstore and have written one novel, working on a second. It's no lifestyles of the rich and famous but I like it."

"That's very good," Emily stated. "And you are Luke's best man?"

"Yes ma'am."

"I think he will be a fine best man," Luke said with a hint of pride in his voice.

They spent the next few minutes discussing current affairs, things that were of no great importance. Then, all of a sudden, Emily asks, "So, Rory, since you and Logan are now not seeing each other, who do you plan to take the wedding as your date?"

"Well, I haven't quite decided…"

"You are planning to take someone, aren't you?"

"Well, yes…"

"You should go with Jess," she said.

"Um, mom, I don't think that is such a good idea," Lorelai spoke up in her daughter's defense.

"Yea, grandma…"

"Why? You two did date and have a lot in common. He's certainly made something of himself now. Besides, you are the maid in honor and he is the best man. It would be perfect. You two have to perform certain duties anyways."

"No, grandma, I don't think…"

""Like what? What do they have to do mom?"

"Well, they have to take pictures together, dance together, and give speeches, a lot of things Lorelai. They are going to perform certain traditions," Emily stated.

"Emily…" Richard began to attempt to prevent a terrible argument from occurring.

At this point, Rory's head was hung low as she looked at her shoes underneath the table. "Mom, you can't decide what is going to happen at my wedding."

By this time, several people were all talking at once when Jess finally interrupted them stating, "Yes ma'am. Rory and I will continue traditions."

With this statement, Rory became furious at Jess. Not only was she upset over their talk yesterday, she was now angry that he was making plans to things she did not agree with. Rory then discreetly kicked him as hard as she could underneath the table. Jess glared back at her. He got the hint, so he remained quiet for the rest of dinner.

A/N: I wanted to use this chapter to create a little bit of comic relief. I hope it was success and I apologize if they are a OOC. Review Please!!
