~*~ Chapter 1 ~*~
I cannot believe that just happened, Rory thought to herself while running away from Jess. How did it happen? Why did I do it? I have a boyfriend, a great boyfriend!
"Rory?" Lorelai asked, "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine," replied Rory seeming disconnected.
"Are you sure? You look a little pale."
"Must I repeat myself?"
"Did you forget to have your coffee today?"
"I'll meet you at the reception."
"Where are you going?"
"I have to go do a couple of things."
"Can't it wait."
"No."
"Okay honey. Don't be late. You know how big this day is for Sookie!"
"I won't!"
"Bye babe."
"Bye mom."
Rory was walking on the bridge, a million thoughts floating through her head, when she was startled by a hand gently touching her shoulder. "Jess! Don't do that to me!" She yelled. " I could have freaked out and fell off the bridge!"
"Don't worry, I would have caught you. Besides, it isn't that deep." Jess gladly replied.
"That wasn't the point. What are you doing here?"
"Well, I thought after that moment that we had back there."
"There was no moment Jess."
"Oh really? Then what exactly would you call it?"
"An instant reaction in the heat of the moment."
"So you felt the heat to? I thought maybe it was just."
"You don't know anything. Why did you have to come here? Why Jess? My life was great, I would almost say perfect. Then you show up, following me around in the least noticeable ways and making my boyfriend mad and." Rory was interrupted in mid sentence.
"Why does this have to be so bad?" Jess asked.
"It just does! Don't you get it?"
"No, I don't. Maybe you should explain it to me."
"It wouldn't work. I have a boyfriend."
"Didn't stop you from kissing me, did it?"
"Jess."
"Why don't you just admit that you like me?"
"Fine, I like you. You know that. We are friends. We have fun together. I admit it, are you happy now?"
"I'm getting there."
"All of that doesn't change the fact that I love Dean."
"Are you so sure about that?"
"Yes. No. I don't know. What I do know is that in exactly 3 days I am leaving for Washington. I'm going to be gone almost 2 months."
"Oh dear Rory! How will I live without you my love?"
"I'm sure you will manage! I have to go. I told my mom that I wouldn't be late for Sookie's reception."
"I'll see you later then."
"Okay."
As Rory was walking to the park where Sookie's reception was being held she wondered what to tell her mother. Lord knows that Jess isn't one of her mom's more favorite people, but maybe she could help. Then again.
"Rory!" a familiar voice called. " I was beginning to think that you were abducted by aliens!"
"That's the story of your life mom," Rory smiled.
"Darling daughter, would you like some cake?"
"No, I'm not really hungry."
Lorelai placed her hand on Rory's forehead. "You feel fine. So out with it, where is she?"
"Where is who?"
"Don't play dumb with me. I want my daughter back and I want her back now!"
"You caught me. I traded her in. There's no going back no. I guess you will just have to settle!"
"Oh well, I never really did like her anyway. She was to smart for me to handle."
"Rory!" yet another familiar voice called. "I've been looking for you."
"Hey Dean," Rory suddenly felt faint.
"Where were you?" Dean asked.
"I had a few things that I needed to do."
"I'm going to talk to Sookie. Rory why don't you come with me to congratulate her?" Lorelai asked.
"Come on Dean. If I have to be peppy then you have to be peppy with me!"
"All right Ror, but I have to work the afternoon shift so one hello and I'm on my way to Doose's."
The trio made their way to Sookie standing alongside Jackson.
"I'm so happy for you!" Lorelai announced.
"That goes for me too," Rory added.
"Congratulations," Dean shook Jackson's hand.
"Thank you so much guys," began Sookie. "This is such a happy day and I am so glad to have my two favorite girls to share it with." She hugged Rory and Lorelai.
"Let's quit chatting and start dancing!" Lorelai shouted.
All but Rory and Dean rushed to the dance area.
"Sorry to cut out on you, but I have to go." Dean kissed Rory on the cheek and headed to the market. Rory joined her mother on the dance floor.
By the time Sookie and Jackson were piling in the limo and off to their honeymoon, Lorelai and Rory were removing their shoes.
"I am so glad that this is the last wedding for a long time! My feet need a year at the minimum to heal," Lorelai complained.
"I know exactly what you mean," replied Rory while rubbing her feet.
"Damn the women who invented these horrible things," Lorelai tossed her shoes into the back of the jeep. The two got into the jeep and took off.
"I'm thinking we should stop at the store," proposed Lorelai.
"Why?" Rory asked.
"To get one of those foot thingys."
"What foot thingys?"
"You know, to soak my feet in."
"Just fill up a bucket with some water and VOILA!"
"How vintage!"
"I know!"
"That's my little girl. Always coming up with alternative ways to keep her mom from spending her money."
"Unless you spend it on me."
"Oh, of course!"
