CHAPTER 6 it is GETTING SETTLED

When Luke and Lorelai got back to camp, they were surprised to see wood neatly stacked in the center of camp, where they planned to have the fire. Rory and Jess were no where to be found, but Luke and Lorelai weren't worried. They unloaded the food into a cooler, and started to set up the area for the fire. Lorelai cleared out a small circle, bordering it with stones, as Luke pulled up long logs for seats. When they were both finished they took a step back to look at their work, they were pretty impressed.

"What's that?" Luke asked pointing at a group of stones shaped into the intials L.G.

"My signature." Lorelai said.

"Oh of course." Luke replied, "We should start making some lunch, I'll make the coffee, can I trust you with bologna sandwiches?"

"It's risky." Lorelai started.

"I'll take my chances." Luke interrupted.

Jess opened his eyes slowly. He turned his head slowly on the rock to see Rory beside him fast asleep. He smiled. This is the way he wishes things were. Of course he wouldn't admit that to anyone, he had a hard enough time admitting that to himself. Rory's the first person Jess has really ever trusted. I mean sure he used to trust his mom, and even at what point his father. Then his dad split, and everything crashed and burned from there. He looked at Rory again. It amazed him how a person like himself could love someone so much when they were filled with so much hate.

Rory suddenly awoke, but she kept her eyes shut. She could feel her hand in Jess'. At first she was a little embarrassed, but then she couldn't help but smile.

"What's so funny?" A soothing voice asked. Rory opened her eyes to see jess looking at her smiling back.

"Nothing," she said keeping her smile. She looked at her watch, they had been sleeping for an hour and a half, "We better get back."

"Yeah," Jess agreed.

~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*



"Ah just in time for lunch," Lorelai said setting four plates on the picnic table provided by the camp.

"Great!" Rory said, giving her mom a smile. Jess sat across from her.

"Ohh bologna gourmet!" Jess said sarcastically.

Lorelai gave him a look, "Ladies and gentlemen Jess Mariano is in the building."

Jess returned the look, but then they both gave each other a half smile.

"Sure go ahead eat without me," Luke said sitting down, as everyone took his or her second and third bites.

"How nice of you Luke," Lorelai said fluttering her eyelashes. Luke just rolled his eyes.

They finished up their lunch, and Luke and Lorelai went off to look around. Jess and Rory still sat at the picnic table, feet touching.

"So what now?" Rory asked.

"Just a sec." Jess said, and he ran off towards his tent. In a few moment he was back and he pulled out a deck of cards. Rory smiled. "So what will it be," Jess started a smirk on his face, "5 card, black jack, or my personal favorite.," his smirk broadened, as Rory raised her eyebrows.

~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"This place is beautiful," Lorelai said as she and Luke walked along a path nearing the creek."

"Yeah it brings back a lot of memories." Luke replied.

"All good I hope." Lorelai said.

"Not exactly, I'd say 50-50."

"Which is more than I can say about my childhood."

"How ARE your parents?" Luke asked with a smile.

Lorelai laughed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~~*~

"GO FISH." Jess said, and Rory grabbed a card from the pile, "I am the master of this game!" Jess said, straitening his pile of many matches taunting Rory.

"Aw don't get too excited, I don't think you can go pro in Go Fish."

"Ruining a little boys dream." Jess put on a fake frown, and Rory lightly kicked him from under the picnic table. He softly returned the kick. "Do you have a three?"

"Ugh!" Rory said, and handed over a three, "You have to be cheating!"

"Sore loser."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~

Luke and Lorelai sat at the edge of the creek. It was still daylight, but you could tell the sun was getting ready to set.

"I'm glad Rory has Jess, with the whole Dean situation, he seems to really care about her."

"I know and its shocking, because jess doesn't seem like the caring type of guy."

"You get that impression too?" Lorelai crinkled up her nose, and smiled, "No but seriously he's different around her, you'd have to be blind to not see it."

"Yeah," Luke took in a breath of the fresh Vermont air.

"I got to tell you Luke, your doing a great job."

Luke looked toward Lorelai happily.

"In fact you may actually be the SECOND best parent figure in stars hollow."

"Mrs. Kim being the first of course," he smirked.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*

"Hey Luke knows of this good place for the sunset," Lorelai said to Rory and Jess who were in the middle of their current round of Go fish. "You want to come, it's quite a hike."

"Why not we got nothing better to do," Rory said getting up.

"Speak for yourself, I was just about to break a record."

"Maybe another time," Rory said grabbing Jess by the shirt.

"You just didn't want to lose again, hey watch the shirt." Jess got up.

"We're going," Rory assured her mother.
