Jess was cleaning the counter in the diner. The door opened and he figured it was Rory, she said she was going to meet him there that morning. He did not have to look up, but he smiled.
Jess: Lemme guess...hamburger, fries, and a nice warm coffee. Rite?
Cara: Aww. You remember. How thoughtful.
Jess's head shot up when he heard the voice, but it couldn't be, she was in New York, Wasnt she? Jess just stared at this tall, beautiful, green eyed brunette, he knew it could only be one person and said: Cara?
Cara smiled this huge smile: Hey Jess how are you?
Jess: What are you doing here? (God how he had missed her. He was so glad to see her.)
Cara: Long story. So do I get a hug or what?
As they hugged Rory walked by. She looked in the diner window and saw Jess hugging some girl. She thought about going in but decided to give him sometime. She figured that if he was so happy to see that person, they must be from NY.
Jess: Angel, I missed you so much, but what are you doing here?
Cara: Well, you know Liz.
Jess: Don't remind me. (he chuckled)
Cara (laughing): Yeah well since you and I are so different.
Jess: we aren't,
Cara: How are you? Anything new? Got a girlfriend or anything?
Jess (giving her a stern look): get to the point.
Cara: She and I had a fight kind of like your last one. And I told her how I did not choose to have her as a mother and she said 'yeah well I did not want to have you either.' Well I lost it and said I hated her and how you had been smart enough to leave already. Then she told me to get out. When I asked where she said she did not give a damn and said 'GO live with that brother of yours if you like him so much or go to LA, go be a star, I don't care, just get out.' So I grabbed some stuff and left. And Here I am. Jessup, do you think Luke will let me stay?
Jess: Don't call me that. Probably and if not I think I know someone who will. (turns to the kitchen) Hey Uncle Luke, come here.
Luke enters the diner from the kitchen. Without looking up he glares at Jess.
Luke: What do you want Jess? And why are you not working.
Jess: Because some one very important came in and I have to walk and talk with her. So I am leaving for the day.
Luke: No you are not. Hey ror...(Then he looked up and saw it was not Rory.) Cara? Is that really you?
Cara: Beaming: hey Uncle Luke. How are you?
Luke: (He gives her a hug) oh Kiddo, I missed you so much. Wait what did you do?
Cara: Cant I just come for a visit?
Luke: Not being his sister. Spill.
Cara: Liz kicked me out, so I came here. Can I stay?
Luke: Yeah, as long as you want. Jess you know what this means?
Jess: More slave labor?
Cara: you wish.
Luke: No. New bed room. Jess you can have the day off, hang with her and show her around.
The two leave and Jess grabs her hand and takes her to the center of town, which happens to be the gazeebo.
Jess: Ok well turn in a circle and you have seen the whole town.
Cara: Then why do you stay here?
Jess sees Rory coming up to them.: It has its perks. (he hugs her. Cara coughs)
Cara: I'm still here, jessup.
Jess: Don't call me that. (turning to Rory,) Ror, this is my sister Cara. Cara, Rory.
Cara: Nice to meet you. Are you guys to...
Jess: Cara, go get some good food, cuz you know Luke has none.
Cara: I know when I'm not wanted. Later guys.
She heads off to Dooses. She walks in and immediatly heads to the junk aisle. Dean watches this beautiful girl walk into the market. He has never seen her before. He notices she eats like someone else he knows and smiles. He watches her and notes that she does not move like she is from around here. He bets New York or Boston.
Cara: Let me see. Mac N Cheese, a must have, chocolate, nessesity, coffee..no luke has that. Umm...chips, what else do I need. Ice cream, chunkey monkey and...
Dean: Um can I help you?
Cara: Hey, I think I have all I need. Oh wait..I need something for...I need marshmellow Ice cream. Do you have any?
Dean: I think I can find some. Follow me.
They walk toward the ice cream and Dean finds it for her.
Dean: Here you go. Most people do not ask for that. (only one person in this town buys it infact)
Cara: I also need Chuncky Monkey. (Smiling. God He's a cutie. I wonder where he is from, he doesnt have the whole Ward Cleaver look)
Dean: Um.. Yeah. Here. I-uh- Can check you out.
Cara: I think you are doing wonderfully already.
Dean: (Blushing) I ment at the register. ( Cara just gives him an oh really look) No wait, I ment I can ring up your food.
She follows him to the counter. She thinks how guys back home are never this shy. Its kinda nice.
Cara: Whats your name?
Dean: Dean.Um Foster Yours?
Dean rings her up.
Cara: Cara Mariano. Its nice to meet you Dean. (Dean knows that last name but cannot place it. after he is done ringing her up) I'll see you around. (She heads out of the store.)
Dean runs after her.
Dean: Hey Cara,
Cara: Yeah.
Dean: I was wondering, where are you from. I mean I havent seen you here before.
Cara: New York. You? You dont hit me as the Pleasentville type.
Dean: Chicago.
Cara: Ah ha the windy city. I hear it is nice.
Dean: yeah it is, listen Can I have, I mean can you eat, I...um.
Cara: Why Mr Foster are you trying to aks me out? ( he blushes) Meet me at Lukes at 7, ok
Dean Yeah, uh OK.
Cara smiles and walkes to Lukes while Dean justs watches her. God she's hot.
Rory and Jess:
Rory and Jess are sitting on the bridge, their favorite spot. Jess is looking at a cigarette. He remembers Cara making him promise before he left to stop smoking for good. Rory never liked it either. Maybe he would stop for good, for both of them.
Rory: Are you going to smoke that, or mind meld with it?
Jess: Depends.
Rory: On what?
Jess: Whats gonna happen.
Rory: When?
Jess: Now.
(they kiss)
Rory: I'm glad you didn't smoke it.
Jess: Oh yeah?
Rory: Yeah.
(they kiss again)
Jess: Well, if nothing else ever happens between us, at least we know that part works.
Rory: Nerd.
Jess: is that the best you can do?
Rory: So what is you sister doing here?
Jess: and out of left feild we have rory.
Rory: Jess, what is she doing here.
Jess: Our mother kicked her out so she came here to me.
Rory: Is luke gonna let you keep her?
Jess: She is not a pet. Well she might be, but yeah she is gonna stay.
Rory: Cool.
Jess: Come here (he pulls her to him and they kiss) Lets get back to the diner.
Rory: (giving him a look) Why?
Jess: well you need coffee dont you?
Rory: Your just want to see your sister.
Jess smiles at her
Rory gets up and gives him a hand: Lets go.
They walk through the town. Every so often they stop and kiss or just stop to look at things. It takes them until almost 7 pm to get back to the diner.
Mean while
Cara: Hey Uncle Lukey need any help?
Luke: Sure Cara. As much as you can give.
Loreila sitting there is hurt.
Loreila: Hey Luke why can she call you Lukey but you get mad when I do?
Luke: Because she is my niece.
Cara: Luke, I have to be done at 7 though, I kinda have a date.
Luke: Ok, Kiddo.
Lor: Luke, who is she?
Luke: My niece Cara, didnt I jsut say that?
Lor: Luke, I thought you only had one sister.
Luke: She is Liz's daughter making her Jess's sister. Now drink your coffee.
Lor: Ooh You want me to drink my coffee. Hey Cara, commer
Cara: Yeah? You must stay, Luke has crossed over to the dark side. He gives coffee now.
Cara(giggiling) You must be Loreila. Nice to meet you
Lor: He's told you about me? Im honored.
Cara: Oh yeah he and Jess, I even think he...
Luke: CARA! Get ready for your date. GO. No more talking to Loreila.
Cara walks off and sees Dean come in. They sit at a table in the corner.
Cara: Hey let me get our food. Ill be right back.
Dean: But you dont know what I want.
Cara: Burger, fries, and a soda?
Dean: Yeah
Cara: I already got it covered. Sit tight.
She comes back and they eat and talk.
Loreila: Oh that can't be good.
Luke: What?
Lor: Look at her date. Thats gonna suck.
Luke: Oh God. I gotta..
Lor: Let them be. But has Jess seen this yet?
Jess and Rory walk in right as she said that.
Jess: Have I seen what?
Rory follows her mom's glance and sees Dean lean over to whisper something to Cara.
Rory: Nothing, hun. Lets go up to your room and watch a movie.
Jess turns to her and as he does sees Dean and Cara holding hands. He storms over to them.
Jess: get off my sister!
Dean: Huh? Im not on her, wait, Sister?
Cara: Jess leave us alone, we were just having dinner.
Jess: Not with him you were not.
Dean: Sister?
Jess: Oh your a real smart one. Pay attention bag boy.
Cara: Jess stop insulting him, go back to your girlfriend, and leave us alone.
Rory steps in.
Rory: Jess lets go up stairs.
Jess: not without my sister. (Jess wont leave so Cara gives in, angerly)
Cara: Fine! Dean ill be back. (She gets up, towering over jess by only a few inches, looking pissed) Jess NOW! (she points and pushes him along.) GO!
Dean: Rory?
Rory holding her hands in surrender: I have no idea.
Rory goes after Jess and Cara.
Luke: Dean, Cara is Jess's sister.
Loreila: Dean go home, and she'll call you.
Upstairs.
Cara slams the door wide open and storms in. Jess follows in the same fashion. Followed quietly by Rory.
Downstaris:
Luke: Well looks like im gonna need a new door.
Lor: Oh it cant be that bad.
Luke: You dont know her. You know how Jess gets when he is mad or something?
Lor: Yeah, he hits walls and throws things.
Luke: She breaks things and when she hits walls she leaves holes.
Lor: are they that bad toghether?
Luke: Her times two. Jess ends up just as bad. Niether have a real soft temper and they both want to protect the other. It is so infuriating.
Lor: Who is older her or him.
Luke: well her birthday is the day after his, but they are twins. Late at night or early in the morining I dunno which.
They can both hear yelling.
Taylor: What is all the racket, cant someone come in for a nice meal in silence?
Lor: Not when Luke has a nephew and a niece living here.
Taylor: No, he has a sister?
Luke: GET OUT TAYLOR and say nothign about my family.
Back up stairs:
Jess and Cara: What the hell was that? Nothing. Stop that!
Jess: You cannot go out with him. I wont allow it.
Cara: You cannot tell me what to do. You arent my father.
Jess: He left remember.
Cara: So did you. I am fine. Dont parent me.
Jess: I was kicked out just like you where. I dont want you near him.
Cara: I am going near who ever I damn well please. You cant stop me.
Jess: I am your older brother.
Cara: OH my GOD 5 hole minutes.
Jess: One day
Cara: 11:56 and 12:01, good god Jess we are still twins. (rory mumbles twins, then understands the way Jess is acting.) SO back off.
Rory: Guys, SHUT UP
Jess: Look now you got her mad.
Cara: Did not!
Rory: Shut up both of you. Listen to me.
The siblings sat quietly. Neither looking at the other.
Ror: Ok, you both love each other.
Jess: I am reconsidering...
Cara: Not at this exact moment
Ror: Shut up and listen.
Both: Sorry
Ror: Jess your trying to protect her. However, Cara is as strong if not stronger than you are. Besides she was kissing Dean. My ex who by the way is a good person.
Cara: See.
Rory: And You. He was looking out for you like a brother should. Dont get to mad at him.
Cara: I like Dean. Hes nice to me.
Jess: I dont trust him,
Cara: You dont have to, I do.
Cara walks out at that. Leaving Jess and Rory togehter.
Jess: That went well.(turning to rory. He smiles.)
Rory walks over to him and he puts out his arms for her. She comes closer, so close that when she breathes, she breathes his air. Their lips finally touch and his hands slid down to her waist pulling her close. She runs her hands through his hair and then to his neck.. He moves his mouth from hers to her neck.. He gentillay sucks on her neck. He knows he will leave a lasting mark but doesnt care. When they finally break apart she smiles.
Rory (shyly) Hey
Jess (with a smirk) Hey yourself. (after a moment of just starring at each other.)
Rory: I have to go, I ll see you later.
Jess: I got to go down to, Ill walk you.
They walk down the stairs to the diner.
Luke: What took you two so long?Cara came down ten minutes ago.(He looks at them and guesses.) I dont want to know. Jess get to work.
Jess: Aie aie Captian.(as he mock salutes, Rory just laughs)
Lorelai: So what were you two up to?
Rory: Nothing.
Jess walks by and kind of stares.
Loreila: That was not a nothing look. Spill.
Rory: Mom, chill its nothing.
Loreila: But I know...
Jess (interrupting) Hey Rory, are you busy later? I really need help on an assignment and I am so stuck I think you have already read the book too. (sad look) Pleeeeeease.
Rory (smiling) Sure, Mom its ok?
Loreila: Yeah I guess. But tell me.
Rory: No!
