Jess led Bree over to the group, "This is Bree," He said, as if that was
all the explanation that was needed. "This is Luke, Rory, and Lorelai," he
introduced the three, who granted the newcomer small smiles.
She smiled back at them, her hand on the back of Jess's neck, playing with his hair. "It's nice to meet you."
"So, you know Jess from New York?" Rory asked.
"We go way back," Bree said, leaning into Jess.
"It involved a monkey." Dominic said simply.
Luke, Lorelai and Rory looked at him with confusion.
Jess laughed, "Bree was being a bad girl in class—"
"I was not being bad. I was misunderstood!" The girl protested, lightly slapping Jess's arm.
"And Dominic tried to say it was his fault—" Jess continued.
Dom shrugged, "I thought she was hot. I wanted her." Bree laughed, a tinkling sound that drew the gazes of several guys in the room.
"And I tried to save them—"
"My knight in shining armor!" Bree swooned, placing her hand over her heart. "And yet only Dom and I got detention."
Bree shrugged, "I have excellent powers of persuasion. I felt a little guilty, though, even though there was no way it was my fault—"
"It was totally her fault," Dom said to Rory.
"And I wanted to help them out of detention—"
"And her idea of help is a little wacked," Jess added.
"So I got this monkey from the zoo where a friend of mine works—"
"And she let it loose in the school." Jess finished, cracking up.
Lorelai looked at her with awe and admiration.
"And we thanked her in a nice proper way later," Dom said, which got him a sharp look from Luke.
"Yeah" Jess said wistfully, "But Bobo, was never the same after that."
"I think he was tramatized after having to sit through one of Mr. Paul's lectures" Bree said, "I wish we could have helped him get over that."
Dom opened his mouth to say something.
"And no" Jess said, "Monkey therpy was not the answer"
"It could have worked!" Dom argued defiantly.
"Sweetie," Bree said, walking over to Dom and putting her arms around his neck, "I told you, it's hard to find a good monkey therapist in New York. They're all in the Congo, and we just didn't have time."
"Yeah, I guess" Dom said, grumbling.
"So that was basically a normal day for you?" Lorelai asked.
"Nah. That was mild," Dom said, reaching over and taking a bite of Rory's food. "There's much more interesting things, but we are in need of a bed at the moment." He looked at Bree, worriedly.
"I'm fine!" She protested.
Jess took one look at the wilting girl and looked pleadingly at Luke, who shrugged. "Just stay out of my way," he said, knowing that if he said no to Jess he would be caused even more grief that he'd get with two extra houseguests.
Jess smiled, leading the two back up the stairs.
"Well," Lorelai said after a minute of silence.
The diner was returning to normal, once the interesting visitors had left and there was no one to be stared at. Luke poured the two Gilmores fresh cups of coffee, a distracted look in his eyes.
"Yeah, well," Rory agreed.
Luke sighed.
"This will be interesting," Lorelai said happily, a grin spreading across her face.
She smiled back at them, her hand on the back of Jess's neck, playing with his hair. "It's nice to meet you."
"So, you know Jess from New York?" Rory asked.
