CHAPTER 5 SOME MORES
After the two tents were set up, and everything was unloaded from Luke's truck. Luke and Lorelai went into town, to go food shopping. Rory and Jess were left to hold up camp, and to Luke's demands collect firewood.
"I suspect the best firewood's further from camp." Jess said to Rory, as she tied the laces to her sneakers.
"Yeah, but the further we walk the further we have to carry wood."
"Oh, so this is why they call you the logical one." Jess smirked, "Well we'll get one set of the really good far logs, and than we'll get three sets of the close dry wimpy logs, and then we'll gather twigs."
"Sounds good to me." Rory said standing up now, "So which way."
Jess closed his eyes and spun around pointing his finger out. He stopped to see which way it pointed and said, " This way"
"How creative."
"I try."

Luke and Lorelai strolled down the streets of the small local town.
"Here's where we buy the food," Luke said as they neared a small market.
"Great!" Lorelai said, and lead the way into the store.
"So what first?" Luke asked.
"Marshmallows of course." Lorelai said matter-of-factly.
"Marshmallows?"
"Yeah, and graham crackers and chocolate. You can't go on a camping trip without s'mores!!"
"Oh but you can." Luke said sincerely.
"Too bad 'cause you wont!" Lorelai said grabbing the Marshmallows. "Oh Pop Corn!"
Luke rolled his eyes, as Lorelai ran off toward the popcorn. He let his head fall back, and sighed, but a small uncontrollable smile was creeping its way to the side of his mouth.
*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So is this good enough wood?" Rory asked Jess as they made their way through the trees."
"Look's good to me." Jess said kneeling down and beginning to gather wood. Rory started stacking wood onto his arms.
"So how are you doing, you know with the whole Dean situation?" Jess asked almost shyly, which was totally unlike Jess.
Rory sighed, "You know it's kind of weird. I mean I was upset about it and everything for the first couple of days, but now I just feel relieved. I mean it was bound to happen eventually."
"Oh was it?" Jess asked interested.
"Yeah, it was," Rory, said honestly, "I just wish it didn't have to happen this way."
"Yeah well he's an idiot if he didn't see what he had with you."
"Oh really?" Rory said. Jess realized what he just said.
"Or he really is just and idiot." He added trying to cover up his slip of words.
Rory finished piling wood on Jess' arms, and started gather her own. Jess stood there leaned against a tree watching her.
"But your okay?" Jess asked.
Rory smiled, "Yeah I'm okay."
~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~
"Okay so we have dinner desert, second desert, and midnight snack, anything else?" Lorelai asked Luke.
"NO. were done." Luke said dragging Lorelai to the cash register.
They paid for their grocery's and put them in the car.
"So you want to walk around for a little bit?" Lorelai asked hopefully.
"What about Rory and Jess?"
"They're fine. just for a little bit?"
"Okay," Luke agreed.
Lorelai held out a hand and Luke took it, she then started gabbing away incoherently, but Luke didn't mind he just liked the sound of her voice.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~~~**~*
"Done!" Jess exclaimed wiping his hand, as the last bit of wood and twigs were gathered. Rory collapsed on the ground, and Jess collapsed next to her.
"I could sleep right now." Jess said.
"Me too."
"So you want to go look around?"
"Yeah, I do," Rory, said getting up. She offered a hand to Jess, and he took it, she pulled him up and the started walking, hands still grasped tightly together.
They made their way up a small hill, and a few bushes, they stumbled down a steep hill, and than went through a row of trees to find themselves in front of a beautiful creek.
"Wow," was all Rory could say.
"Yeah." Jess agreed.
They went over to the creek, and started stepping on small stones. The made their way to a large stone, in the center of the creek, where they both laid down listening to the sound of the flowing water, and letting the sun shine on them. Soon they both fell asleep hand in hand.
