"Rory what's wrong…" Lorelai asked that next day.
"Oh nothing… I just… I miss Dean… talking to him, spending time with him…" she explained.
"But you don't love him and don't want to go out with him…? Right?" Lorelai was confuzzled.
"Right… I just want to be his friend… I miss him a lot…" Rory explained.
"So, you know what you have to do… go talk to him!" Lorelai encouraged.
"Ok, promise I will be at Luke's on time today!" She promised, since she was late the previous day. She went to Dean's house and knocked on the door. There was a girl, around Dean's age… Rory guessed about 16 or 17 … she was wearing low jeans and a t-shirt and her hair was down, barely reaching her shoulders.
"Oh, hi, I was just leaving…" The girl said and yelled back, "See you later tonight Dean…" them pushed past her.
"Bye," a familiar voice said.
"Dean? Who was that?" Rory asked confused.
"Rory, is that you? Um… that was Danni, my new girlfriend, we were looking at some new car models I built." Dean explained.
"Ah… so you have a new girlfriend? Huh?" Rory said.
"Ya… So do you want something?" Dean asked.
"No… I just came by to say 'Hi'" Rory said and turned around and started to walk away.
"Wait, don't go!" Dean said.
"Ya," she whirled around.
"I… I just… do you think we could just be friends… you know, we aren't together, but I just thought, maybe we could still be friends…" Dean started to repeat himself.
"Um… sure… I got to go meet Jess, talk to you later!" She ran off and headed toward the bridge where Jess was sitting waiting.
"Hey," Jess said and got up… "So is that finished?"
"Huh?" Rory said confused.
"I saw you at Dean's…" Jess explained.
"Oh… Jess, he has a girlfriend… that flip- out the other day… that was just because I wanted to be friends with him still… nothing else… I miss talking to him about stuff and now that we aren't together there is no more big issue with him worrying about me seeing you on the side… you don't have to worry!" Rory explained in great detail.
"Okay…" Jess said and leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips for a moment. She kissed back… "I love you!" he said, "So what's the plan for the day?"
"Well, I thought we could go to the book fair… but before that I have to go to the Inn and talk to Mom… I told her I would… is that a-right?"
"Ya, sure, whatever makes you happy!" Jess said sweetly.
"You're perfect…" Rory stated.
"Lets go!"
