Disclaimer: I don't own this or Gilmore Girls. Although writing TV-scripts does sound fun. Spoilers: none past season 2. I will try to keep everything platonic. Even though I am a die hard spoiler fan but I'll keep them to myself.
** This takes place about an hour or two after the last chapter **
It had been awhile since the embrace and Rory had suggested they walk around town for a minute. The minute turned into an hour or so and probably would have continued even longer if they hadn't been interrupted.
"So Jess you think you'll stay for good this time." Rory asked hopefully.
"There's not much for me back in New York, besides my pet mice, so yeah I think I'll stay. I mean if that's ok with you?"
"It's not up to me. I'll still be here anyway, right?"
"Yeah but you have college in a year or so."
"Uh huh, wait did you say 'pet mice'."
Jess laughed at Rory's sudden realization. "Only a few with razor sharp teeth and bulging blood red eyes."
Rory's expression became almost fearful until she saw Jess's face and figured out he was just messing with her.
"Do they have names?" Rory played along.
"Taylor and Dodger; of course!"
Rory proceeded to laugh a little bit, but then someone behind her tapped her on her shoulder. Rory turned around and saw her mom looking eager to join the 'fun'.
"Hey Mom!" Rory said with fake enthusiasm, she knew her mother was brewing up something in that head of hers.
"How's my little ray of sunshine doing?" Lorelai said ignoring Jess who was standing on the opposite side of Rory.
"Not anything a little Coal train (Is that how you spell it??) won't cure." Rory says switching her balance from foot to foot, uneasy because of her mom's lack of acknowledging Jess's presence.
"Well that's nice. So I was thinking maybe we should go to Al's again because of the whole Luke situation." Lorelai says noticing Jess walking slowly away but not saying anything.
"Actually mom I've been craving Luke's coffee since I woke up, so do you mind. if we go to Luke's?" Rory continued to still not notice Jess's departure.
"I really don't think that's such a good idea." Lorelai says watching Jess go into Luke's up the street.
"Why not? It's been a while, I'm sure Luke will be fine. He can't refuse us business as long as we agree to pay."
"You're right. You do realize us paying will be the first time in history, right?"
"I think it'll be ok. Jess you want to com.?" Rory trails off and starts to do a 360* searching for Jess. "Where'd he go?"
"I don't know honey, I didn't even realize he was here at all." Lorelai lied.
"Of course he was here. You could have at least said 'hello' y' know. I mean you were the one who interrupted us!" Rory exclaimed but not to the point of being mean just matter-of-fact.
"Well since Jess is obviously mad at you now too; we can just go to Al's now!"
"Sorry mom, but I'm gonna go find him, I know you saw him go; what direction did he go off to?"
"I don't wanna tell, not unless you promise to eat at Al's with me from now till Luke is friendly to me again."
"Mom. Fine! Where?"
"Ok he went into Luke's, but the back way."
"Thanks Mom. Just go home and I'll see you there. We'll go to Al's afterwards, I promise!!" Rory says while walking backwards up the street to Luke's.
Rory watches her mom leave, a little bit irritated I might add, then she turns around and double-times to Luke's back door. She figured if Jess was working the counter this way he wouldn't be able to see her and run off. Her suspicions proved right, well almost, she forgot about Ceasar working on the grill in the kitchen.
"Rory what are you doing back here?" Ceasar asks, probably too loud.
"Oh hi Ceasar I was just curious about what it would be like to go through the back door?!"
"Uh."
"Sorry to cut you off but did you see Jess come in through here not too long ago." Rory questioned hoping her mother hadn't lied to her.
"As a matter of fact yes and I think that's his footsteps trying to sneak up the stairs."
"Thanks Ceasar." Rory says while turning towards the direction of the stairs outside the curtain leading into the diner.
