Lorelai opened her eyes and reached for the alarm clock. Instead, her hand grabbed the rose. It was dried up and it crumbled in her hand. "Oh, oops," She said. She had almost forgotten about the rose. She touched her lips and smiled brightly and threw back the sheets. "Lukey, Luke, Luke. HE kissed me! LAlalala," Lorelai sang as she went downstairs.

**************************

Rory opened her eyes. She was still sitting at her desk and a little pool of drool had formed next to her book. "Ew," She said. After a flurry of phone calls last night, she had finally found Paris at Jen's. Paris had refused to talk to her. Rory eventually gave up calling and tried to concentrate on studying for her journalism class. It hadn't worked. All she could think about was the look of pain on Paris's face and how she had betrayed her friend.
Sighing, Rory got up and stretched. She felt her stomach growling from the absence of food. In fact, she hadn't even eaten dinner last night. After all the events of last night, she had forgotten to eat. She grabbed her jacket and headed for the dining halls.
Walking across the Green, Rory contemplated going over to Jen's to see Paris. 'She's probably still angry,' Rory sighed. 'Maybe I should let her cool down.' Rory shoved her hands in her pockets. "You know, that's usually my thing. Shoving hands in pockets?" Startled, Rory turned around.
"Jess?"

**************************

"Hey," Lorelai said as she entered the diner.
"Hey," Luke said and walked over to pour her a cup of coffee.
"No lectures today," She asked. "No eye rolling?" She took a sip.
Luke gave her a slight smile. Then he rolled his eyes.
"HA! I knew you wanted to do that," Lorelai mocked his eye rolling.
Luke put the pot down and fidgeted with his hands. "About last night......," He started.
"Do you...," Lorelai said at the same time.
Luke stopped. "Go ahead," He said.
"No, you first," Lorelai said.
"Uh.. last night was nice," Luke finally said.
"Yeah," Lorelai agreed.
"Maybe... we could have dinner sometime?" Luke asked hesitantly.
"I'd love that," Lorelai said softly. "Now more coffee," She changed to her Louis voice.
Smiling, Luke poured her more coffee and then walked away.

**************************

"What are you doing here?" Rory asked. 'Wow, how many times have I asked that in the last few days?'
"I dunno, actually," Jess scratched his head. "I was gonna go home for the weekend and I.. uh.. dunno why I showed up here. I guess it's a good thing I met you, 'cause, I don't know anyone here."
Rory smiled. "You came to see me!" She hugged him. Jess smiled and returned the hug.

From the other side of the Green, Tristan shook his head as he watched the two embrace. "You were dreaming, Dugrey. Rory doesn't like you," He said out loud. He shook his head and walked away.

**************************

"Hey, Michel," Lorelai sang.
Michel gave her a look. "Hello."
"Already, you hate me. And it's only..," Lorelai looked at her watch. "Nine am."
"I don't hate you. I just despise you," Michel answered.
"Sounds like you need a song," Lorelai said. Michel covered his ears.
"Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree.. if you still love me!!!!!" Lorelai sang.
"I'm going to tie a yellow ribbon around my neck. Your voice is killing me," Michel said. He started to walk towards the kitchen.
"You fill me up, Buttercup." Lorelai called after him.
"Lorelai."
Lorelai turned around. It was Emily. "Uh.. Hi, Mom."
"Lorelai, you don't sing like that in your workplace. It's inappropriate," Emily said, frowning.
"Yes, well, my presence alone in the workplace is inappropriate to you," Lorelai mumbled.
"What? Don't mumble Lorelai," Emily said.
"Mom, did you come here to say something? The DAR meeting isn't weeks from now," Lorelai sighed.
"You're my daughter. I have to have a meeting to see you?" Emily replied.
"No, it's just that I'm busy," Lorelai pretended to shuffle through the mail. "Bills, bills, bills." She perked up. "Ooo Destiny's Child!"
Emily gave her a strange look. "I came here to talk about Preston," Emily said.
"And his wife? How is his wife? Clarice, was it?" Lorelai raised an eyebrow.
Emily sighed. "That's what I wanted to talk about. Your father says that I should come here.. and.. how can I put this?"
"Apologize? Get on your knees and beg me for mercy? Send me roses that say 'you are beautiful'?" Lorelai hinted.
Emily looked confused. "Roses?"
"Nothing, nothing, it's okay, Mom," Lorelai heard herself saying. 'What am I, on drugs?'
"Yes, so I wanted to say 'I'm sorry' about the whole incident," Emily finally said.
"Thanks for apologizing," Lorelai said smiling.
Emily huffed and walked away. "Bye, Lorelai," she said.
"Bye."

"So... I'll see you around then," ROry said. She and Jess were standing at the bus station. THe bus pulled up next to them.
"Yeah," Jess said and shouldered his duffel. "Gotta go and show Luke that I'm still breathing. I haven't called him yet."
"Tsk, tsk," ROry said smiling. "Bye, Jess! It was good to see you!" She waved and started to walk away.
"Hey, Rory!"
Rory turned around. "Why don't you come home with me?" Jess asked, cocking his head. "I'm sure Lorelai misses you."
Rory thought about it. "I have a lot of work to do," She finally said.
"Oh, blow it off for a weekend. Come see your mom," He said.
Rory did miss Lorelai. They had only spoken once in a week. She suddenly smiled. "Okay!"
She put her hand in Jess's out-stretched one.

*****************************

Dean got off the bus and was surprised to see Jess and Rory getting on another bus. Holding hands.
"Damnit," He said and grimaced. "You're an idiot, Dean."
'She's not going to come back to you,' he thought. 'Stop dreaming."
