Indubitably

Setting: the day after the last chapter, early, early morning. Keep this in mind.

Rating: Still pg-13



*RING!!! RING!!!*

Stumbling around her room, Rory looks, half asleep, around her house, for the phone.

**Ring!!!Ring**

~Ah! Please don't wake mom up!~ Rory pleaded, still very groggy from being woken up. She smiled to herself as she finally locates the ringing annoyance.

Struggling to talk, she finally answers with, "Hello?"

"Why if it isn't the Lovely Rory Gilmore!" the familiar male voice replied.

Pausing, Rory wasn't quite sure who was on the other line. "Jess?" she finally says.

"The one and only! Wow, and before you have gotten your coffee. You get a gold star."

"Why are you calling?"

"Can't a fellow reader call another without the 3rd degree?"

"Not when it's 5 AM."

"Ah. Go to the gazebo."

"What?"

"Yes. Go… To… The.. Gazebo."

"It's 5 AM, I haven't had coffee, and I'm in my PJ's."

"The sun is out, I'll make it worth your while, and no one will see you in your PJ's."

"Umm… can I change?"

"No time."

"Hmm…"

"Just do it"

Sighing, Rory complies with, "I'll be there in 5 minutes."

"Hey, bring the phone with you."

"Wait, why?"

"I promise to explain."



Still on the telephone, Rory enters the gazebo, making small talk the entire walk there. Finally, she announces to her friend, "Ok, I'm really cold, but I made it to the gazebo."

"Good! Now, look at Luke's dinner. Don't ask any questions."

"Ok, looking."

"Now, look at Taylor's store, with your back to the stairs."

"Yesum."

"Count to 16."

"1…2…3…4…5…6…7...8…9…10…11…12…13…14…15…16…. I'm done!"

"Turn around."

Rory gasps as she not only hears the voice, not only through the phone, but also right behind her. She turns around slowly and screams.

"Jess! OHMYGOD! What are you doing here? Luke said you wouldn't be back until june 3rd!"

"Jess stood there, in front of Rory, grinning with a cell phone in hand.

"Yep, I came back early. I figured you'd want to see me first. Hey, keep it quiet, you're the first person to know."

"What about Luke?"

"Nope, not Luke. Your special!" he nudges her and she smiles.

"Speaking of Luke, look towards Luke's dinner."

"I've seen it many times, Rory, trust me. I haven't been gone that long."

"Just do it."

Jess stands there looks at Lukes dinner, and finally says, "I don't get it… It looks fine."

"Well then," Rory grabs his hand, and points it towards the sign. "Why is the sign upside down?"

Jess looks confused, and grabs Rory, pulling her towards the dinner. "Whoa, I didn't even notice that before, what a weird thing for Luke to do." Jess let go of Rory, and walked towards the sign. "Hmm.. Looks as if it's a completely new sign. Weird…"

All of a sudden, Rory screams an earth-shattering cry. Jess darts over to her, and she is standing, looking at the front door or the dinner.

"Rory, what's the matter?" He asks, seeing the look on her face. She says nothing, and he decides to follow her eyes. What he saw made his stomach jump out of his throat. There Luke was, lying unconscious on the floor of the dinner, with the plate of glass from the front door shattered around him. All they could see was blood that covered his right upper body.



A/N: What do you think? I think I wrote that well… R/R!
