A/N: Well, here is the next chapter.I'm in major depression mode because my last chapter has been posted for 48 hours, and I've gotten only two reviews. ( PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!

As soon as Jess had finished reading to her, she sighed in content and snuggled closer to her husband, gazing at the stars.

"We should probably get back to the inn, the kids are probably wondering where we are." She said sighing, wishing they could stay longer.

"It's ok, Lorelai will take care of them for awhile. Let's stay awhile." He said

"Make a wish." She whispered.

"I wish that nothing bad will ever happen to us or the kids." He replied. "Your turn."

"I wish that, Dean would just leave, get out of our lives forever." She said turning around to face him.

"Rory, don't let him bother you, you hear me?" he asked

She nodded as a few tears slid down her cheek.

"I just.he hurt me so much." She said

Jess hugged Rory to him and let her cry some more. It had been an emotional day.



the next morning

All the high school graduates had walked over to SHH, to begin their reunion. Meanwhile, back the inn, Luke, Mary, Laura, Kim, and Michelle were on their own for the day.

"Uh, Mary and I are going to take a bus into Hartford and walk around." Luke told his sisters and Kim.

Laura and Kim looked at each other in interest. "We'll come!" they both said in unison

"Michelle, do you want to go to Jaimie's house?" Laura asked

"Yea!" Michelle cried

"Luke, can you walk her over?" Laura asked

"Sure. Michelle get your coat and we'll go. I'll be back in five." He called as Michelle and him exited the inn.

"So Mary, you and Luke? Kinda got something going on?" Kim asked grinning

"He's so sweet. He uh, kinda kissed me yesterday." She blushed

"Whoa, he kissed you?" Laura asked

"Yup."

"Aw!" Lane squealed

The door to the inn opened.

"Back. We better get going if we're going to catch the bus." He said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So far, the reunion had been a success. About seventy graduates from each school had come.

"Aww Jess, look at that picture!" Rory laughed. It was a picture of Jess sitting at a pep rally. Everyone around him was cheering, but he was reading a book.

"Okkaayy, next." He said pulling Rory along

"Look Lane!" she called out

Lane ran over to her "what?" she asked

"Its bible school Lane, its cheerleader Lane, its Honor Society Lane!" she giggled

"Ha ha, but we're all going to YOUR school tomorrow!" she joked

"Shutting up." Rory replied

She and Jess moved on to the next display. There was a picture of Rory and Dean at a football game during sophomore year.

Jess noticed how uncomfortable Rory had become.

"Come on, lets go over to senior year." He suggested

Rory and Dean had broken up by then. "That's a great picture." Someone commented from behind them, looking at a picture of Jess in his graduation gown holding Rory's hand.

"Hey Tristan! Jackie." Rory said

"So tomorrow's Chilton, huh?" he asked smiling

"Yes it is Bible Boy. Jackie, you'll see him in every picture with a different girl." She joked

"Hey, watch it Mary." Tristan shot back

"Tristan was the crown king of Chilton." She went on

"He sure was." Paris came up and joined the conversation

"Paris, you had a crush on me for eleven years."

Paris turned red. "Well.I.yea.shutup Tristan!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, here we are." Luke said as the four climbed off the bus

"Oh, look at that cute coffee shop!" Laura exclaimed pointing to a small shop. The sign read, Temptations.

"Oh yea, lets go!" Kim said running ahead with Laura

"Laura's a coffee addict. She gets it from my mom." Luke explained to Mary

"People get lotsa stuff from you mom, I mean, I got my name from her." She laughed

"We better catch up, Laura is probably on her second cup of coffee already." He put his arm around Mary's shoulder and they walked into the coffee shop together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I just got an idea. Let's say, the last night we're in Stars Hollow, we all dress up, and go to a fancy restaurant in Hartford, just me, Jackie, Rory, Jess, Paris, Mads, and Louise." Tristan suggested

"Yea, that sounds like fun." Paris said "We're in." Rory said speaking for both herself and Jess "I'd have you all over and cook for you but."

"You can't cook." Jess interjected

"Hey!" she cried giving him a playful punch.

Jackie yawned. "Excuse me, I'm just a little tired."

"That reminds me. I need a big cup of caffeinated, Luke's coffee!" Rory exclaimed

"Do you want some coffee?" Jess asked

"Yea!"

"Okay, later."

"Jessy" she whined

"Okay, now" he gave in

"You treat me so well!" she stood on her tip toes and kissed him.

Rory pushed open the door to the diner.

"Lukey, coffee please!"

Lorelai sprung up from behind the counter.

"Hey babe!"

Rory jumped back "Augh!" she screamed

"Sorry, did I scare you?" she asked

"No, I just enjoy screaming and jumping."

"So, coffee?" Lorelai asked

"Yup."

"What would you like Jess?"

"I'll have some too."

Lorelai set down two steaming cups in front of them.

"So how's the reunion going?" she asked

"So far, not too bad. Except for Dean." Rory muttered

"Yea, I saw you looked pretty upset the other night. What happened?" Lorelai asked

"Dean showed up, wanted to talk, I didn't want to, told me that he loves me." Rory said in one breath

"Wow. That's tough."

"Lorelai?" Jess asked

"Jess?"

"Does Luke know your working behind the counter?"

"Shh, no!"

Jess rolled his eyes. "Your gonna be in trouble." he warned



The door to the diner opened, and in walked Dean, eyeing Rory, Jess, and Lorelai.
