As Rory and Lorelai walked into the diner, Luke saw the spark that appeared every time he saw them in Jess' eyes. He knew that Jess needed to do something about it soon, especially since Dean was now out of the picture. He made a mental note of it and sent Jess over to get their order and bring coffee. "Hi, Jess," Rory said as he approached the table. "Hi, Rory," Jess responded, pouring two glasses of coffee. "Did you finish the book yet?" "Oh, yeah. I have it upstairs. I'll give you back to you tomorrow. Thanks. I really enjoyed it," Jess said, smiling. "Oh, good," Rory responded. "Can I have pancakes?" Lorelai interrupted, getting sick of seeing them stare meekly at each other. "Sure. Rory, what may I get you?" Jess asked, tempted to purr at her.
"The same thing. Thanks," Rory said, pretending to stare out the window. As Jess walked off, Luke noticed him walking back with a different, happier gait. "You know, Jess that if you asked Rory out on a date, she'd say yes. Wouldn't be such a bad idea, now would it?" Luke whispered to Jess while he wiped off the counter. Jess walked off upstairs, ignoring Luke, leaving Luke to deal with a crowded diner all by himself. Luke was tempted to yell up after him but decided against it. 'Maybe this will give him a chance to think about Rory and my idea,' Luke said to himself.
Later that day, Jess was walking back from school and noticed Rory getting off the bus. He started to walk towards her slowly, pretending not to notice when indeed, he felt butterflies in his stomach. He knew what he needed to do. It brought a bit of joy to know the response but still, what if he was rejected like he had been by so many other girls? He had stopped caring about girls until Rory. She had changed everything for him. He had started caring about his life and now, he wanted to let her know that. Rory glanced up and saw Jess walking towards her. She started walking towards him with her usual casual walk, trying to hide the butterflies that were rapidly swarming in her stomach. She had heard Luke mention something about her to Jess about today and true be told, she couldn't wait to find out what it was. It wasn't anywhere near her birthday or an anniversary (did they have one? She wondered) so she didn't have a clue what it could be. She decided to just leave it alone and she would find out eventually. By now, he was only a few steps away from her. She took a few steps toward him until they were very close. He glanced down at her, gave her a little peck on the cheek and backed away, holding her hand. He started to lead her toward the bridge where they had first kissed at Sookie's wedding. She followed blindly, only thinking of what was going to happen once they got there. They remained silent, only occasionally glancing at each other. When they got there, Jess held her hand and stared right into her eyes. "Rory, you want to go out with me?" Rory knew the answer before he had even finished her sentence. They stared in each others eyes and kissed and were in perfect heaven together.
