[Cut to Gilmore house]
The next morning Lorelai went into Rory's room to wake her up, "It's Monday." She said in a chipper voice, "If you get up now we can still make it to Luke's for breakfast."
Rory sat up, her eyes still closed, "I'm up."
"Shake a leg, we have places to go." Lorelai said as she walked back into the Kitchen.
Rory rolled out of bed and quickly got ready for school, "Ready." She announced as she walked out of her bedroom.
"Let's go." Lorelai said.
[Cut to Luke's]
"Jess get a move on!" Luke yelled up to Jess from the bottom of the stairs.
"Hey Luke." Lorelai said as they walked into the diner.
"Morning." He said, "I mean it Jess!" Luke yelled back up the stairs.
"First day at school?" Lorelai asked.
Luke nodded, "What'll it be this morning?"
"Pancakes." Lorelai said.
"Eggs and bacon." Rory told him.
Luke nodded and turned around and almost ran right into Jess.
"I'm up." He said.
"Morning Jess." Rory said.
Jess looked over at her and smiled, "Morning."
Luke handed Jess a rag, "Wipe down the empty tables."
Jess nodded and started wiping the tables, "Did you buy Howl on Saturday?" He asked Rory.
Rory shook her head, "No, why?"
"I have an extra copy if you want it." He said.
"Yeah, thanks." She said with a smile.
"No problem"
Rory smiled and took a sip of her coffee.
"He's giving you a book, how romantic." Lorelai said when Jess got out of earshot.
"Mom." Rory warned, "What if he hears you?"
[Luke's fifteen minutes later]
"Wanna go get that book now?" Jess asked after Rory had finished her breakfast.
"Sure." She said, standing up.
When they got upstairs it was clear to Rory that two guys lived there.
"It's kinda a mess." Jess told her.
Rory shook her head, "It's fine."
He samiled at her, "Thanks for being so nice."
"It's not that messy." She told him.
"No not that, thanks for being so nice to me since I got here, and last night." He said.
She gave him a sad smile, "No problem."
He opened a box that had been taped up since he had gotten there on Friday and looked through all the books, "Not in this one." He said pushing it out of his way and opening another one.
Rory sat down on his bed and started looking at the contents of the box, She was impressed by his collection, "Hemmingway?" She asked.
Jess turned around and saw her looking through the box, "Yeah so?"
"He's sitting next to Shel Silverstein." She said as she picked up A Light In The Attic.
"The saddest thing I ever did see was a woodpecker reckin' at a plastic terr. He looked at me. and "friend," says he, "Things ain't as sweet as they used to be." page 83." He said.
Rory turned to that page and saw a picture of a woodpecker on a tree, she read the poem and smiled, "Thats cute." She said.
"I got that from my mom on my ninth birthday." He told her.
Rory smiled and set it back down in the box, "My favorite book when I was little was Where The Wild Things Are." She said.
"It's in one of these boxes." Jess said, "Found it." He said, pulling Howl from a box and handing it to Rory.
"Thanks." She said with a smile.
"Rory." Lorelai called from down stairs, "School."
Rory stood up, "Thanks for the book." She said with a smile, "See ya."
