"Oh my god, Lorelai's pregnant," Miss Patty whispered loudly.
Lorelai tipped her head and heard them gossiping like a bunch of hens. "Actually, I was joking about that, I'm not pregnant, I just wanted to confuse you."
Luke breathed in a sigh of relief, "Thank god." He looked up to the heavens.
"You don't have to sound so relieved," Lorelai rolled her eyes. "Let's dance." She dragged Luke out onto the dance floor.
"Can you believe them?" Rory looked up at Jess.
"No, your mom's quite a laugh," Jess looked down at Rory. Savoring the feel of his hands around her waist. "Are you having fun?"
"Yes, this is the best, I love being here with you." Rory lay her head against his chest and relaxed.
Shane was standing outside in her Marilyn dress, having a smoke. When she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned. Dean.
"What can I do for you sugar?" she batted her eyelashes.
"Help me get some revenge on Jess and Rory."
Shane's eyes widened then narrowed in glee. "OOOH, where to start." She looped her arm through his and they walked off to talk and plan.
Rory and Jess were sitting at a table in the corner watching other couples dance. Rory put her hand in Jess's, she smiled at him. He smiled back.
Luke and Lorelai looked over at their teen kids, and smiled. All four of them were happy.
The band announced that this was the last dance. All the couples swarmed out onto the floor to be in each other's arms one last time.
Jess drew Rory into his arms. He closed his eyes, and let his mind flow. He couldn't remember being so happy. He was in heaven in Rory's arms. Nothing had ever felt so right.
Rory inhaled Jess's soft soapy scent, she was where she belonged in Jess's arms forever. She moved closer, so that their bodies moved in cadence. She felt her body begin to heat up. Her mind began to wander. She wanted to be alone with Jess. She took his hand and led him off the dance floor.
Luke opened his eyes and looked down in Lorelai's cornflower eyes. He was home, finally where he belonged, he had the woman he was destined to spend the rest of his life with.
Lorelai closed her eyes. Her diner man, the coffee man. Who'd thought that she and Luke. It was still a little crazy to her. But she was beginning to accept that so many small signs over the years had guided her to this point of her life.
Jess led Rory to his car, he opened the passenger door and shut it after she got in. He walked around to the driver's side and got in. He started the car up and they drove off.
"It wasn't supposed to happen this way, Jess was supposed to be by himself, you said he would be, what if something happens to Rory," Dean whined.
Shane stood there, the wind whipping through her voile ivory dress, disheveling her blond curls. Dean could almost see the invisible horns on her head and the forked tail hiding under her dress.
"Have a heart, nothing will happen, that isn't meant to happen," Shane said cryptically. She smiled cruelly and blew a kiss after the departing car.
Jess was driving down the I-5, doing 80. He went to apply the brake lightly, his foot met air, there was no pressure. Jess tried again, nothing happened. They were going to miss the exit, he had to find somewhere to "stop" the car.
"Jess, why aren't you slowing down, we're going to miss the exit?" Rory asked.
"Because the brakes aren't working," Jess swerved to avoid an oncoming car. "I just had the car checked yesterday, and the brakes were working when I parked the car at the school this afternoon." He moved over onto the shoulder of the highway, looking for a runaway lane.
Rory held onto the dash. "Jesss, we're going to crash."
Jess swerved, trying to take control of the wheel, but the car didn't obey, swerving in one direction and then another. Jess closed his eyes, and prayed that Rory would come through this unscathed, that was his last thought.
"I wonder where Rory and Jess went?" Lorelai wondered aloud.
"Jess said they went for a drive and he would have Rory home by midnight," Luke assured her.
"I know, I'm just being a concerned mother, that's all."
Luke was driving Lorelai home, the timer on the dash read 11:27. "I wonder if Rory's home yet?"
"Nope, Jess's car isn't there," Luke said. "Can I come in?" he waggled his eyebrows.
"Sure." As they pulled into the Gilmore driveway, Luke went to turn off the radio. Lorelai stopped him.
** "A blue Chevy Nova just crashed on the I-5, it's been reported that there were two people in the car, a male and a female. It's unknown if they have survived. Police and ambulance are on the scene. The first person on the scene reported it as.. "the vehicle losing control, swerving and crashing into a deep ditch. The Chevy Nova immediately caught fire.. and it's still unknown whether or not the two people got out in time or not." **
"Jess," Luke croaked hoarsely. He swung the truck into reverse, backed up, threw it into first and peeled off down the street.
"Jess," Rory cried brokenly. She was being held back by the police, they wouldn't let her go find Jess. He could still be alive. She clawed like a wild animal. "Jessss." Rory screamed. Remarkably, Rory had come through the accident unscathed except for a few scratches and bruises.
Before her eyes, Jess's car exploded in an inferno of combustible fire. She screamed his name until her throat was hoarse. She was barely aware of the police questioning her
Everything was a daze and seemed so far away. She heard weeping, then realizing it was coming from herself. She saw her mother running towards her, Luke right behind her.
"Are you okay?" Lorelai asked, running her hands over her daughter, checking for broken bones.
"Where's Jess?" Luke asked.
Rory looked up at him, "I don't know." She started crying again, "They wouldn't let me go find him, what if he's hurt?" she looked accusingly at the police.
"Let's go home," Lorelai took her arm and led her away.
Rory pulled back. "No, I can't leave until I know what happened to Jess. I won't leave. I love him." She said the last three words without being aware of it.
Luke and Lorelai looked at each other. Rory stalked over to the police who were talking in muffled tones. "Well?"
"I'm sorry to tell you this, but it would appear that you are the only survivor, the other person is dead."
Rory looked at him, then fell backwards into a dead faint.
"You murderer."
"If you tell anyone, I'll kill you," she threatened.
"How can I bear to look Rory in the face, when I'm partially responsible for this?"
"Don't ask me, do you think I care!"
"You're a heartless bitch."
"Damn right, sugar."
White, sterile, Rory shuddered, she was in the hospital where was Jess? She didn't really believe he was dead.
The police later explained that based on what little information they had to go on, that they had no other reason but to conclude that Jess was dead. The driver's side of the car had landed on the bottom of the ditch, making it impossible for Jess to have gotten out, without anyone seeing him. There were no reports of young, dark-haired, injured men coming into any hospitals within a 150-mile radius. The constable in charge handed her Jess's silver chain, he always wore it around his neck.
The police were going to close the case, since the car was burned beyond recognition, all they had to go on was Rory's account of what happened.
Rory wandered around the town like a zombie, her heart was dead, Jess's death had left a huge hole in it. Their was a black curtain of mourning over the town. It'd only been four days, and already Rory missed Jess and his wisecracks. Just being with him, seeing him. Thinking about him, made her die inside a little everyday.
She just couldn't accept that Jess was dead. Everyone had been tiptoeing around her, like she was made of glass, like she would break if they said anything. On a daily basis, she went to the bridge and stared out at the lake, looking for peace-of-mind.
For some reason, whenever Rory touched the silver chain of Jess's that she'd fastened around her neck, she felt a calm come over. She could close her eyes, and it was almost like Jess was with her.
Black sky stormed around her, as she stood on the dock, staring out at the choppy waves. It had been a week, and Rory still couldn't bring herself to accept that Jess was dead. If he was truly dead, she would know. But she had this little spark of hope flaring inside her.
She stared out onto the water, hoping that if Jess was out there, that he would come home to her soon.
"Looking for something?" a mocking voice called.
Rory turned. "What do you want?"
"To give my regards," Shane said bitterly.
Rory's mind was sharp, she was good at solving puzzles, and the puzzle that was the crash, Shane was one of those puzzle pieces, so was Dean. Dean hadn't been able to look her in the eye, since Halloween night.
"I think you had something to do with Jess's death," Rory stated bluntly.
Shane's eyes widened in shock, then narrowed in suspicion. "I don't know what you're talking about!"
"I wonder how many times you stood in front of the mirror in the last week, perfecting that line." Rory walked past Shane, but was stopped by Shane pulling on her arm.
"If you tell anyone, you'll regret it." Shane threatened.
"Are you going to kill me too?" Rory sneered. She jerked her hand out of Shane's grip and walked away. A thump on the head sent her falling to the ground, she fell into a pit of blackness.
