Jay walked in her room and picked her cell phone up of the floor. "Hartford police station," Jay questioned. She answered the phone. "Whatever it was I didn't do it," Jay said. "It's Jess," he said. "Jess, why are you calling from a police station?" "I need you to do me a favor," Jess said. "Aren't I already doing you a favor," Jay said. "Yeah, I know," Jess said. "Ok, what is it," Jay asked. "You got 100 dollars lying around," Jess asked.
Dean hoped Lane would answer. He prayed Lane would answer. She answered. "Hello," Lane said. "Lane," Dean said. "Who is this," Lane asked. "Dean." "What's wrong, you don't sound too good," Lane said. "I have a broken nose, and I'm in jail," Dean said. "What," Lane yelled. "Do you have 100 dollars, I promise I'll pay you back," Dean said. Lane grabbed her jacket and left the house. She saw Jay getting in to her car. "Jay, can you give me a ride," Lane asked.
"Logan this was not part of our agreement," Paris said. "I'm a hurt man Paris, can we please not argue," he asked. "What makes you think I have that kind of money," Paris asked. "You're Paris," Logan said. "Will I get paid back," Paris asked. "Yes, just come and get me." "Fine," Paris said. She hung up the phone and grabbed her jacket. "I better get more than a good word for this one," she said. Paris snatched her car keys off the table and left.
Lorelai pulled up in front of Luke's Diner and cut off the car. She looked over at the silent Rory. "Want some food kid," Lorelai asked. "I guess," Rory said. Luke looked up at Lorelai's jeep out the window and went wide eyed. Lorelai and Rory walked in. "What happened," Luke asked. "Dean, Logan, and Jess is what happened," Lorelai said. "What," Luke said in disbelief. "They were fighting at my parents house, and the fight kinda went towards my jeep," Lorelai said. "Why were they fighting," Luke asked. Lorelai looked at Rory, then Luke looked at Rory. "Why are you looking at me," Rory exclaimed. "They were fighting over you my sweet child," Lorelai said. "I promise Jess will pay for the damages," Luke said. "My mother said it was an improvement," Lorelai said. Luke shook his head and poured them both some coffee.
Jay and Lane stepped out the car. "Stupid," Jay said. "I know," Lane said. "Just plain stupid," Paris said. She walked up beside them and locked her car doors. "I know," Lane said. "Where did you come from," Jay asked. "My car, I was following you two," Paris said. "I know," Lane said. "You can stop now," Jay told her. They opened the door and walked in.
"You can't stick me in a cell with those two," Logan said. "Watch me," the cop told him. "I refuse to share anything with them," Jess said. "Don't care," the cop said. "Look, can't you put us in different cells far away from each other," Dean asked. "No," the cop said and pushed them in the cell.
"We are here to bail out Logan Huntzberger, Jess Mariano, and Dean Forester," Jay said. "Yeah yeah," the officer said finishing off his donut. They sat down and waited for them to come out. Dean walked out first. "Lane, I promise I'll pay you back," Dean thanked her. "What happened," Lane asked. "Long story," Dean said. Logan came out next. "Paris, I owe you one," Logan said. "Yeah you do," Paris said. "That's Paris, never showing a lick of sympathy," Logan thought out loud. "Don't make me hit you in the ribs," Paris said. Jess came out next. He frowned and shook the officers hand of his arm. "Jess," Jay said. "Can we just go," Jess asked. Jay nodded and they all started out the door.
"Ok, hop in," Lane said to Dean. "That's Jay's car," Dean said. "So," Lane asked. "Jess is in there," Dean said. "Are you afraid of Jess," Lane asked. "No, but I don't wanna ride in the same car with him," Dean said. "Just get in or walk," Lane said. Dean frowned, but got in the car. "Are we all in," Jay asked. "Yeah," Lane said. "Alright, just so you guys know, I speed," Jay said. "How fast," Dean asked. "Yeah, he might feel a little queasy from that tackle I gave em," Jess smirked. Dean reached up front and hit Jess. Jess turned around and tried to hit back. "Hey, hey, hey! Wait until I back out," Jay said. They both frowned and stopped fighting.
Logan laid out in Paris' backseat and leaned the upper half of his body on the car door. "Stupid," Paris said. "What," Logan asked. "Stupid. I told you to do what I tell you," Paris yelled. "Sorry," Logan said. "I bet you are," Paris said. "Can't you show a little sympathy," Logan asked. "Fine, you want sympathy," Paris asked. He looked at the face of Paris. "Never mind," Logan said. Paris turned around and continued driving.
Rory walked in the house and plopped down on the couch. Lorelai walked in and closed the door behind her. She sat her purse down at plopped down next to Rory. "Rory. You do know that none of this is your fault right," Lorelai asked. "I mean them getting arrested, beating each other up and stuff." "I know, but I feel kinda like it is my fault," Rory said. "Oh kid, you know what," Lorelai said. Rory leaned on her mothers shoulder, "What?" "You should consider this as an honor," Lorelai said. "Why," Rory asked. "Well, you are the prize, the one that they want. You are in one, if none of their futures," Lorelai said. "Huh," Rory asked. "Well, look at it this way. They want you, Rory," Lorelai said, "They love you. It's touching to be loved by one person, but three?" Rory thought about it. "So you're saying I should be proud to be loved," Rory asked. "Yes," Lorelai said, "You play an important role in each of their lives, no matter what you might think." "You've been hanging around the book store on Tuesdays again haven't you," Rory asked. "Well, I was bored," Lorelai complained. Rory smiled and turned on the tv.
Jess opened the door to his apartment. He stepped in and turned on the lights. "So, who bailed you out," a voice said. Jess turned around to see Luke sitting on his couch. "Jay," Jess said. "Well you can add her to your debt list," Luke yelled. "Look, I didn't start it," Jess yelled back. "Jess, you start everything," Luke said. "Logan punched me, I fought back," Jess said pointing to his eye. "Jess, you're going back to your old ways," Luke explained, "If you think that fighting is going to help you get Rory back you're wrong!" "Who are you Mr. Love Doctor," Jess said, "You don't think I know that." "I'm not sure what you know," Luke said, "Every time I get close to talking to her Dean or that Logan guy shows up," Jess said. "Why don't you just ask her out," Luke asked. "Did you not hear what I just said," Jess asked. "I think you need help," Luke said. "You don't think I know that," Jess said. "Jay," Luke said. "What about her," Jess asked. "Jay, she thinks you're great for Rory, work with her," Luke told him. "I am, she's my inside source," Jess said. "Not as a source, listen," Luke said.
The next day, Logan walked down the streets of Stars Hollow. Yeah he got looks from townspeople, but he didn't care. He was protecting himself, and how the town found out about the fight, he didn't know. It's a small town, but a gossiping town. He spotted Rory by the gazebo reading a book. He looked both ways and walked across the street. "Rory," Logan said. Rory looked up from her book. "Logan, are you ok," she asked. "Yeah, just a couple of bruises, a broken rib or two, no big deal," Logan said. "I hope you feel better," Rory said. "Yeah, so what's the book about," Logan asked. "Just a book about Greek mythology," Rory said. "Really, you like that stuff," he asked. "I'm starting to get into it," Rory said. "Yeah, interesting huh," he asked. "You know about mythology," Rory asked. "Yeah, Apollo, Zeus, Sirens, many more," Logan said. "Interesting," Rory said. "Yeah," Logan said.
Lane, Paris, and Jay sat in Luke's Diner. "So, what are we gonna do," Lane asked. "About," Paris said. Luke came over to their table. "Two cheese burger, cheese an pickles only for Jay," he said. "Thanks Luke," Jay said. "A chesse burger with everything but onions and lettuce for Lane," Luke asked. "Yep, thanks," Lane accepted. "French fries and don't be afraid of kethup for you," Luke said. Paris took her French fries. "So when did you start repeating orders for us," Jay asked. "Just to annoy Kirk, he's been annoying me for so long, I finally can get back," Luke said. Kirk watched the girls and Luke with the food. "Darn you Luke," Kirk whined and turned back around to his rice cakes. "He's already boney, I don't see why he needs to have a diet," Paris said. "Yeah, he's making another movie," Luke said. "Oh no," Lane said. "What," Paris asked. "You didn't see his last movie," Jay told her. "That's a side of Kirk the doesn't need to be seen ever again," Lane said. "It didn't need to be seen the first five times," Jay said. "He's put out five on dvd, and vhs," Luke said. "Is it in black and white again," Lane asked. "Yep, that's Kirk," Luke said, "Classic Kirk."
Jess stood outside of the Independence Inn. He wanted to walk in and give her the money, but he didn't know how she would react. He decided to go in anyway. "Lorelai," Jess called. Lorelai came out the kitchen and looked curiously at Jess. "Jess, what are you doing here," she asked. "I came to apologize," Jess said. "What," Lorelai asked. "For the jeep, for the fight, for that car crash a couple of years ago, for everything," Jess said. "You're apologizing," Lorelai said. "Yes, and giving you this," Jess said. Lorelai took the money. "Money," Lorelai said. "Yeah, Luke told me about the cost of the damages to the jeep and that's all of the money, some of my savings account, but that should cover it," Jess said. "Jess, I don't know what to say," Lorelai stuttered. "Well, you don't have to, I just wanted to apologize and give you the money," Jess said. "Jess," Lorelai called. Jess turned around. "Apology accepted," Lorelai said. Jess smiled,"Thank you."
