(The day after the dance marathon)
(both Gilmore girls are sitting in the diner in so much pain they cannot move)
Loreila: Hey Luke! Get you butt moving we need coffee.
Luke: I'm not listening to you. (he says ignoring the sad puppy look on Loreila's face.) Rory will you go see what is keeping Jess.
Rory nods, she figures anything to get away from her mother for a bit. She is not sure whether or not to just enter the apartment but figure why not Luke told me to go on in. She looks around and find Jess with his back to her looking in the fridge.
Rory: Hey, Dodger.
Jess (without turning around, smirks): Hey Ror, long time no see.
Rory (feeling a bit uncomfortable): yeah -um Luke sent me up here to find you.
Jess (turning around) Well here I am.
Jess cannot stop thinking how gorgeous she is. He just wants to hold her and feel her near. Both begin to wonder what they should do next.
Jess: Can I get you something?
Rory: No I'm fine, thanks.
Jess: You want a soda? (He looks back at the fridge)
Rory: No, I'm fine.
Jess: Okay. Sure you don't want a soda?
Rory: Yeah, I'm sure.
Jess: Please let me get you a soda. I gotta do something other than stand here like a moron.
Rory: Take comfort in the fact that you are not doing it alone.
Jess: Okay, lets just regroup here.
Rory: Yeah, regroup.
Jess: First of all, we should try to get within, say a foot, of each other.
Rory: Okay. (they both move in toward each other) I think that's about a foot.
Jess: Huh, that school of yours is really paying off.
Rory: So, now what?
Jess: Now, we should
Rory: Well, I think we either need to get a little closer, or need to warm up.
(He takes her hand and entwines her fingers with his)
Jess: (whispers) Hi.
Rory:(shyly): Hi.
They stand there for a minute and just look at each other. Their gazes go from their eyes to their lips and back to their eyes. Jess leans in and Rory leans to meet him. Just as they are about to finally kiss for the second time, Luke walks in. They both fly apart.
Rory: Thanks Jess for the soda and (looking around) the book. ( she runs down the stairs and out to the bus stop)
Luke is about to say something when Jess say he's got school and leaves.
(While Rory and Jess were upstairs)
Loreila: Come on Luke I need my coffee.
Luke: You need it like you need a hole in the head.
Loreila: Please Lukey (pouting) Besides I already have one of those.
Luke: Only if you promise never to call me Lukey again.
Loreila (Shrugs) Fine if you insist, Oh great one. (grinning)
Luke looks at her like she is insane and pours the coffee.
Loreila: What are the kids doing up there?
Luke: I'll go and see hang on.
He leaves to go find the kids. He is not gone long and Rory comes rushing down the stairs and out of the diner, before Loreila can do anything Jess is out just as fast. Followed by Luke.
Lor: What the?
Luke: I don't have a clue. Arg, ill talk to them later. Your gonna be late. (with that she leaves.)
