A/N: I think the last three chapters are the fastest I've updated.  I keep getting reviews that I'm  confusing you, so bug me on aim, ayaPAX217.  If you do, I'll be more likely to update.  For everyone that emailed my animeinn and hotmail accounts, I'm sorry it took so long for me to check mail.

Chapter 15-Back On Earth

Lorelai thought back to her wedding.

Rory wasn't here.  It had come up quickly, Luke had asked her, and she had accepted.  The hoopa had returned, and she had stood beneath it. 

Rory wasn't here.  Lorelai's tears fell.  Where is my baby girl? 

Luke was pounding on the roof, fixing it as it had started leaking with the rain last night.

He looked down at his wife.  His face softened, not that it would if he knew anyone was watching.  She's missing her right now.

Jess looked up at his uncle.  He smiled.  Those two are made for each other.  Took the two idiots long enough to realize it.

He sighed.  Kat was supposed to be here by now…

Kat popped into existence behind him.  Jess let loose a bunch of curses he had been trying to keep his uncle from knowing he used. 

Luke dropped his hammer, hearing one of them, and Lorelai came around, smiling.  "The air just got thicker.  What are you cussing about?"

Jess and Kat looked as innocent as possible, but the two adults knew better.  "Spill it, kiddo."

Jess glared at Lorelai.  "I'm a man, you know."

Luke snorted.

Kat sighed, and hugged Lorelai.  "Ignore him.  I frightened him, and now we all know what happens when he's frightened."

Jess clenched his teeth.  "Not.  Scared.  Frightened.  I.  Was.  Surprised!" 

Kat shrugged.  "Whatever."  She smiled at Lorelai.  "Your daughter says she's doing fine, and told me to tell you that she's sorry she's dragged you into this."

Lorelai's tears that had been hidden by her false smile reappeared.  Luke tumbled down next to them, and put an arm around her, glaring at Kat.  "Where is she?"

Kat's face remained calm, and she answered instantly and calmly, "Nienina.  Home to her great grandmother."

Lorelai's mouth opened.  "Grandma Elsyr was an alien?"

Kat slapped Jess.  He glared at her.  "And that was for?" 

Her eyes flashed.  "I can't very well hit Lorelai or Luke, now can I?" 

"But you can hit me?"

"Why are you upset about this?  I thought you wanted to be a carrier!"

"Do I have to deal with people more annoying than you?  I don't think that's humanly possible!"

"Must be why humans weren't intended for the job!"

"Well I'm different!"

Luke rolled his eyes, and whispered to Lorelai, "I think those two must really like each other if they're arguing this fiercely."

"Oh really?  In what way are you different than the other six billion flesh inhibited mortals here?  Even Lorelai's better than you!"

"How?  I'm Jess.  I am better than everyone else!"

"And you say you're not egotistic!"

Lorelai giggled, and whispered back, "How long before they admit it?"

"I'm not!"

"And your last comment?"

"Shut up."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

"No."

"You're aggravating."

"Why thank you, mortal."

"Hey!"

Luke sighed.  "At this rate, either years or seconds.  Depends on how careless they get."

"Hey what?  Are you a horse?  Maybe that'll make you different."

"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!"

"AND I SAID NO THANKS, PAL!"

Jess shoved her, and Kat shoved him back.  Both had eyes flaming with anger, and didn't notice Taylor Doose's approach.  "What is going on here?" he angrily demanded.

Jess and Kat glared at him, seconds from tackling each other to the ground, and yelled at him unanimously, "STAY OUT OF IT!"

As they rolled around on the ground, hitting, kicking, and biting each other, basically trying to kill the other, Luke pulled Taylor away. 

"I really wouldn't try and save this one, Taylor.  Maybe dedicate another town meeting on what to do with Jess, but don't get suicidal." 

Lorelai nodded, her eyes large, an ice tea in her hand, watching the fight.  She giggled.  "Look, Luke, live tv!"

Kat shot away from him, smirking.  "Ha!  Gotcha!"

Jess angrily shook off his clothes.  "Don't be so sure!"

Both blinked.  "What were we fighting about?"  They angrily glared at the tittering crowd.  "IT'S NOT FUNNY!"

Miss Patty called out, "Jess, darling.  The girl hit you, I think."

Jess nodded his thanks.  Jess took a deep breath, forcing himself to ask calmly, "And why can you not hit Lorelai?"

Kat remained much cooler, as Jess had, and replied, "She is Elsyr's granddaughter, even if she is not the chosen heir to the throne, her daughter is, which makes her a monarch until Rory is crowned."

Jess smirked.  "And you just revealed what's going on to all Stars Hollow."  Ha!  Finally got her!

Kat looked at him, her eyes large, a smile growing on her face.  Jess shifted nervously.  I do not like this.. 

Her eyes got even larger, and she began shaking slightly.  Jess looked increasingly nervous.  Now what?

She finally burst, laughing, falling to the ground.  "As if I would make such a mistake!"

"Oh, if they can't remember it, this tape can."

The crowd gasped, and turned to the man twirling a voice recorder.  Kat's eyes narrowed.  "That information was not for you."

Roberts smirked, walking forward.  "Then why were you so free with it?"

Kat lunged at him, but Jess held her back, though he seemed just as eager to tear the guy apart.  "None of your business!  What the hell are you doing here, anyway?"

Roberts disappeared into the shadows.  "Let me know when she comes back, Nat.  She owes me."

"OOF!"  Kat smirked, and lowered her hand.  With the noise the man had made falling, she knew the recorder was either broken or had broken some of his bones.  Now they won't remember.

Paris twisted the ring around her little finger. 

"Only a little longer." She whispered. 

"And then,"  She switched fingers so the ring sat on her ring finger. 

"Revenge." She smiled.

Rory would pay for taking Tristan from her, Skye would pay for humiliating her, and Tristan would pay for breaking her heart.  Now that she had her ring, nothing could stop her.
