[Gilmore house later that night]
Rory was reading in the living room when Lorelai came home, "Hey babe."
"Hey mom."
Lorelai walked over to Rory and sat down next to her, "Have fun today?"
"Yeah, I went to the book store and Luke's nephew was there so I showed him around town." Rory told her.
Lorelai nodded, "Is he nice?"
"Yeah, he seems sad about something, but I bet he just misses his home."
"Don't you think you would?" Lorelai asked.
Rory nodded, "Yeah."
"Let's go to Luke's and eat." Lorelai said, standing up.
"Okay."
[Cut to outside Doosie's]
Dean is walking out of the store with a bag of trash when Lorelai and Rory walk by.
"Great." Rory said under her breath when she saw Dean, "Hi."
Dean took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Hi."
Rory rolled her eyes as they passed him, she had grown to hate him in the last few weeks, she had broken up with him because he was always asking her where she was going and who she was going with.
*~Flashback to a month and a half earlier~*
Rory and Dean are at Luke's eating breakfast, "What do you want to do today?" He asked.
"I have to go to Hartford." Rory told him.
He rolled his eyes, "It's Saturday, why do you have to go today?"
"I have some stuff to do for the Franklin." She told him.
He looked amgry, "I don't believe this, who else will be there?" He asked.
"Paris."
"Thats it?"
Rory nodded, "It's not that big a deal Dean."
"You are always doing stuff for school" He said, doing the rabbit ears around the word 'school'.
"What's that suppose to mean?" She asked, getting fed up with the third degree.
"Whatever you want it to mean." He said in an icy tone.
Rory shook her head, "Go away."
"Excuse me?" He asked.
"Leave me alone."
"Fine." He siad, getting up and walking out of the diner.
*~End of flashback~*
When the girls got to Luke's they sat down at a table and ordered, "So how are things going with Jess?" Lorelai asked Luke.
"Fine." He said.
"You look really tired." She told him.
"I've been working all day." He shot back at her, it came out more cruel than he intended.
Lorelai was taken aback by his tone, "Sorry." She said.
Luke's face sofened, "I'm sorry, I'm tired and crabby."
Lorelai nodded, "It's okay, Rory gets like that sometimes." she said with a smile.
"Hey!" Rory said, hitting her mom on the arm.
Luke smiled a little, "Want some more coffee?" He asked.
Both of the girls held up their cups, "Thanks." Lorelai said.
After a while Jess came down for something to eat. He looked different to Rory, more distant than he had earlier that day.
"Can I just have a cheeseburger and some fries?" He asked.
Luke nodded and Jess sat down at the counter, He hadn't seen Rory and her mom sitting at a table until he sat down and looked around.
Rory got up from er seat and walked over to him, "Wanna join us?" She asked.
Jess shook his head, "No thanks." He said, holding up a book, "I'm just gonna read."
Rory nodded, "Okay, see ya' later." She returned to her table and sat down.
"Real nice." Lorelai mocked.
"He's acting different." Rory said.
