Takes place right at the end of "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels" Jess and Rory are leaving together...will it be forever?
I really appreciate all the reviews. By the way, this chapter might suck because I'm in a really crappy mood right now. Sorry if it dissapoints.

"Luke." Lorelai moaned in her sleep. "Luke!"
Luke emerged from the bathroom and hurried towards her.
"Lorelai! Lorelai! Are you okay?"
"Luke." She said quietly and her eyes fluttered open.
"I'm here Lorelai." He smiled and took her hand soothingly.
"Luke." She smiled and started to sit up. "Is it...morning?"
Luke nodded, grateful to hear words come out of her mouth that weren't his name. It meant she was going to be okay.
"Did I...did we...what...."
"Nothing happened Lorelai." Luke said calmingly. "You came over and fell asleep."
"I...what?"
"You came over, and fell asleep." Luke repeated calmy.
"Why...oh! Luke!"
"Yeah Lorelai?"
Lorelai looked at him, and next thing she knew she was pounding his chest lightly with her fists and was sobbing into his shoulder.
"Lorelai...it'll be alright...what's wrong?" Luke asked, patting her hair.
"Nothing's wrong!" She sniffed, pulling away. "I-I just feel like an idiot...for, for wasting eight years!"
"Wasting? What are you talking about?"
"Luke." She said quietly and fell into his chest again.
"Lorelai? Can, can I tell you something?" Luke asked nervously.
She nodded.
"Um...last night..."
"Luke I'm sorry, I'm so embarrassed I just came here and-"
"No, no! I'm really glad you came. I was going to say...that right before you came, I realized something."
"What was that?"

Jimmy had no idea where to start looking for Liz. He wanted to get his family back together, but seeing how Liz and Jess each took their own paths, it was very hard to trace Liz. He had already found Jess thanks to Luke, but Lizs' whereabouts remained unknown.
"I wonder if Luke could tell me that..." He muttered under his breath. Then shook his head violently. No! Luke is already pissed off at me for going back, and he yelled to me that he didn't like me. So why would he want to help me? Because he'd be helping Liz too!
Jimmy practically flew to the train station when he realized that Luke would do anything to help Liz.

"Rory?" Jess nudged her to see if she was awake.
She turned over and opened her eyes sleepily.
"Hi Rory." Jess smiled warmly.
She smiled back and murmured "Good morning. What are you doing up so early?" She yawned and looked at the clock which read 5:30AM.
"I had to get something ready for you." He replied.
"For me?!" Rory cried excitedly and sat up.
"Yeah, here you go." He handed her a small box wrapped in velvet.
She opened it curiously and gasped at the gift it held.
"Jess! It's beautiful!" She hugged him and attempted to put the bracelet on by herself.
Jess chuckled. "Let me help you." He smiled and carefully fastened the bracelet around her slender wrist.
"What's the occasion?" She asked when he was finished.
Jess shrugged. "Do I need an occasion?"
Rory grinned. "Aww! Thank you." She smiled and kissed him.
"Do you like it?" Jess asked pulling away.
"I love it." She smiled and kissed him again. She twisted her fingers in his curly hair and pulled him down on top of her.
"Rory-" Jess mumbled under her lips. "Rory, it's to early..."
Rory smiled and pulled away. "Okay. Thank you for the bracelet. It's beautiful."
"You're welcome." He smiled. "And...maybe it's not to early, technically we could have stayed up."
Rory laughed and pulled Jess onto her again.

"Aww TJ! It's beautiful." Liz gushed, admiring the ring TJ had found for Liz in a little shop ten minutes away from Stars Hollow.
"I'm glad you like it." He smiled and kissed her. "So when do want to get hitched?" He asked.
Liz shrugged. "Any times good for me." She smiled.
"How about now?"
"You mean elope?!"
TJ nodded.
"TJ..."
"Alright, alright. But we get to have a sculpture made out of beer ice of us at the wedding!" He said and put his arm around Liz.
She chuckled and both of them headed into the diner.

Luke had been watching Liz and TJ from the counter. He had given her the ring, and from what he could see, it was magnificent.
"Uh, Luke?" Kirk asked nervously. He had been struggling to eat his food for the past few days due to a broken arm caused by his sky diving experience.
"Yeah Kirk?"
"I ordered eggs and toast...you gave me bacon too."
"But I gave you the eggs and toast at least, right?"
Kirk nodded stiffly.
"Well then, why are you complaining? Free bacon!" He laughed and turned to look at Liz and TJ who had just walked in.
"Hi big brother! Look, TJ just gave me my ring!" Liz glowed and showed her finger to Luke.
He smiled and congratulated the two.
"Thanks Luke!" TJ sat down and picked up a menu.
"Wow, you have alot of variety here, don't ya?" He asked looking down the list of breakfast options.
Luke nodded. "What's your point, TJ?"
TJ shrugged. "All I'm saying is, that if you had less options, then people would favorite the food more, and you'd get more business." TJ continued, referring to the almost empty diner.
Luke, despite the odd behavior coming from his future brother in law, stayed relatively calm. "TJ, almost noon, the only person in Stars Hollow who eats right now, is Kirk." Luke said, nodding towards Kirk. "And if I had less options, people would get bored easily."
"Well I'm just sayin-"
"Actually, I agree with TJ." Kirk chimed in.
"What?!"
"Well, it would also cut down on the cost." Kirk reasoned.
"I'm not changing my menu." Luke said simply.
"Luke, give the idea a chance-"
"Guys, guys!" Liz interrupted, coming in between the ridiculous fight. "Relax! It's all good...variety is good, but cutting down on options could also help. It doesn't matter!" She laughed and Luke and TJ put their bicker aside.
"Alright!" TJ said hastily. "Luke, I'll take a cup of coffee and some pancakes." TJ ordered.
"Coming right up." Luke went back into the kitchen and gave Cesar the order.
"Here you go." Luke said four minutes later, setting the food down in front of TJ.
TJ thanked Luke and began to eat.
Liz pulled Luke away from Kirk and TJ and whispered: "Big brother, you're really calm. Something on your mind?"
"Calm? Nah, I'm just...normal."
"Come on Luke! Normally you would have kicked anyone who insults they way you run your business out. What's on your mind?"
Luke hesitated for a moment, then told Liz everything.
Once again, reviews are never required, but are always greatly appreciated. Still in a bad mood.
