Part 1

Rory Gilmore sat at the oak kitchen table, which she had become so accustom to over the 16 years of her existence, unzipped her black backpack, and scattered the many books and papers it contained upon the very dusty surface.

Yes, she was going to do homework on a Saturday night; after all, it wasn't by lounging around doing nothing that she would get into Harvard. Rory simply Had to take advantage of the fact that her mother, Lorelai, was away for the weekend at a weird Business conference of some sort.

How could she not? It wasn't everyday that she could study without her mothers incessive chatter about coffee, or Luke, or movies, although, she had to admit it was rather quiet without her-Eerily quiet, so Rory was kind of glad to hear the familiar chime of the doorbells song.

She quickly glanced up at the nearby clock, perplexed as to who would come over so late. The best way to find out, she thought to herself, is to simply open the door.

So she did just that. Cautiously, she walked to the front door. Rory wasn't expecting anyone, not at 11:30 at night. She hadn't ordered food or called Lane, her best friend or Dean, Her boyfriend, so it was perfectly understandable for Rory to be apprehensive, still, she made her way to the door and slowly opened it.

"Hey" a tall, dark haired, mysterious looking boy, said. It was Jess Mariano, the 17 year-old nephew of none other than Luke Danes, the owner of 'Luke's', the only decent diner in Stars-Hollow. Rory was still perplexed, if not more.

"Hey, do you know what time it is?" she questioned.

"Yup", he said pushing past her and making his way into the house.

"I don't want to seem like a bad hostess, but what the hell are you doing here?" she walked faster trying to catch up to Jess who was now in the kitchen fingering some of Rory's papers.

"Homework, Huh"

"Jess" she said getting impatient.

"Relax, would ya, I just came over to say 'Hi'"

"You did that already", she reminded him, "So goodbye". She tried to push him out the door but he grabbed the doorframe making the task impossible. Seeing the look of dismay on her face, Jess said:

"Why do you want me to leave? Is Dean in there? 'Cuz I thought that if you weren't to busy, we could, ya know, watch a movie & ummmm.I don't know, eat popcorn!" As he said this, he pulled out a tape and a bag of popcorn from under his coat where he had concealed them.

Rory looked at the tape and thought, why not, what's the worst that could happen?

She was about to find out.

"Alright" she said, letting him into the house, "But as soon as the movies over, you're gone."

"Deal" he said sitting on the paisley sofa that was placed in front of the TV.

"What movie did you bring anyway?" she asked Jess who was taking off his shoes.

"Sunset Boulevard" he answered unfazed.

Since Rory was still in her pink pajamas with bunnies on them, she turned to go change but was stopped by her guest who insisted she sit down and relax, while he went to go get drinks. Minutes later, Jess returned, two open bottles of Heineken in hand, and saw Rory all curled up on the chesterfield, her body covered by a dark green blanket, waiting for him. When she spotted the bottles of liquor he was carrying, she shot up like an arrow and said:

"Jess! What the hell do you think you're doing? Go put those back!"

"What, you prefer Corona?"

"No! I prefer no alcohol!" she yelled.

"C'mon Rory, you can't keep living this goody-goody life forever. I mean, I saw your books in the kitchen, admit it, you were doing homework"

"Yes, I was" she said as he sat down next to her, "And there's nothing wrong with that!" she added firmly.

"Ah, but there is, you see, because one of these days you're gonna let yourself go, let your hair down, have fun and I want to be there when it happens" he while handing her a bottle.

"I'll have you know I let my hair down all the time" she quipped.

"You know what I mean, " he said taking a huge gulp of the golden liquid.

Rory was starting to get mad. She wasn't the innocent little girl Jess made her out to be. She had a boyfriend, a damn hot one too, and she kissed him more than once. Sure, she had never tongue-kissed Dean, but that was by choice, she told herself.

Well no more!!!

Jess was right, she wanted to be wild, to be free. With a sudden flick of the wrist, Rory undid her ponytail causing her long brown hair to come crashing down on her sleek shoulders.

"Give me that," she commanded, pointing to the beer Jess had placed on the coffee table after she had turned it down.

"Atta-Girl" he said as he passed her the container.

Feeling brave, Rory took a swig of the drink but was quickly disgusted by it's vile flavor.

"Don't worry, you get used to it" He said when he noticed the look on her face.

But as he had predicted, Rory got accustom to the taste.after 5 beers! By that time she was pretty plastered, more so than Jess who was amused at the way she acted when she was drunk.

"So much for that movie" she slurred,

"We can still watch it, it's only.4 in the morning"

"CRAP!" She yelled.

She got up, and dragged Jess with her even though they were both pretty tipsy. She pulled him onto the porch and said:

"You have to leave now"

"Why? Wouldn't you rather I stay and we drink more?" he questioned.

"Yes, but my mom will be home in like.8.2.5 hours so I gatta sober up by then".

"Fine, I'll tell you what, lets sit there on the porch and we can both sober up"

"Ok" she said while crashing down on the steps.

Jess joined her on the stairs and took his pack of cigarettes out from his pant pocket. As he tried to light up, Rory said:

"WOAH! What are you doing?"

"Smoking" he answered, taking a puff.

"Jess.no! Smoking is bad for you, it can kill you."

"Want one?" He asked, handing her the substance.

"Why the hell not!!!" She almost screamed, still under the influence. "I've already come this far, why not go all out?" she added before Jess clicked his lighter.

He really liked her like this; it was like she was a completely different Rory.inhibition-free, hell, if he'd let her shed probably start takin' off her clothes.

After she had taken a couple of puffs, she thought to herself:

*This is it; this is my one chance to do what I always wanted to do. What little angel Rory never had the nerve to do*

And with that, she let a cloud of smoke escape from her raspberry lips, leaned over, making sure not to topple over, and kissed Jess hard on the mouth. Taken back but not completely surprise (there was no telling what she would do when she was drunk), he kissed her back more passionately. All of a sudden, Rory's tongue begged for entrance, so there he was, tongue kissing Rory Gilmore. A drunk Rory Gilmore, he could taste the alcohol in her mouth, but Rory Gilmore nonetheless and he was pretty damn happy, that is, until he heard Lorelai's high-pitched voice cutting into their make-out session.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!?" she screamed while Jess and Rory scrambled to their feet.

"You, Go!" she said pointing at Jess.

Doing as he was told, Jess practically ran away from an angry Lorelai.

"Get in the house" she ordered Rory.

Rory stumbled into the living room followed by her mom who was both shocked and appalled to see dozens of empty beer bottles pretty much scattered all over the house.

"Rory, How could you?" Lorelai asked in a hurt tone. "I thought I had raised you better than that".

"You did mom" Rory squealed.

"Oh ya, is that why when I got home early just so you wouldn't feel too lonely, I find you making out with Jess, JESS Rory, on our front steps, Drunk AND smoking?"

Lorelai looked away from her daughter in disgust.

"Mom."

"Don't, ok, just don't, I don't want to hear it. He could have taken advantage of you Rory, He could have."

Lorelai started to cry and headed for her room, leaving a completely confused and nauseous Rory, in the middle of the room, too drunk to think straight.

Exasperated, she plopped down on the sofa and watched 'I Dream Of Jeanie'.
