Chapter Eight: The Object of Taylor's Affection
It is now June and graduation is soon. During the two months that passed between the Dean incident and graduation, the lives of Rory, Jess, Lorelai, and Luke have been fairly uneventful. Due to the press coverage that the Dean situation received, Rory and Jess were unable to keep their secret a secret anymore from the people at Chilton, and the residents of Stars Hollow heard about what had happened to Rory while she was in Dean's custody. With the help of their friends and family, Rory and Jess were able to put the whole ordeal behind them and focus on their future. Lorelai and Luke decided that it would be good to try dating publicly and were a nice distraction for the Stars Hollow Gossip Chain from what was happening with the younger Gilmore. Now, Rory and Paris are anxiously waiting for the valedictorian to be announced since they both worked so hard to attain the title.
Jess: (trying to calm Rory) Don't worry about whether or not you are named valedictorian. We both know that you will get it, so don't worry about them officially saying it.
Rory: Thanks, but I'm still nervous.
Jess: Nothing I say will help this, right?
Rory: Ding ding ding. Get the boy a prize.
Jess: Hey, I'm the one that's supposed to be sarcastic.
Rory: Then what am I supposed to be?
Jess: Do you really want me to list it all?
Rory: Only a few things...(smiles playfully at Jess)
Jess: Well...there's smart, beautiful, energetic, coffee-addict, and I could keep going...
Rory: (tries to sound innocent with a little sarcasm) I think you fed my ego enough today. Good job. I knew there was a reason I kept you for so long.
Jess: (feigning shock) So, you just use me to feed your ego?
Rory: What, did you think I actually liked you? Ha!
Jess: (gives his best pout/puppy eyes) I'll go crawl into a little hole now...
Rory: Awww, you know I love you. Besides, I'm gonna need someone to yell at in a couple months.
Jess: All right, now I understand it. I feed your ego and I'm a human punching bag?
Rory: Oh shut up already!
Jess: Easier said than done.
At that point Rory kisses Jess in an effort to stop their bickering.
Jess: Good job.
Rory: (smiles) Thanks. Luke's?
Jess: Sure.
The two begin the walk from the Gilmore house to Luke's. When they arrive at the diner, they see that the sign is turned to closed, the door's locked, and the lights are out.
Jess: I don't want to connect the dots this time.
Rory: Ick! I really don't need any thoughts like that feeling my brain.
Jess: You would think they could hide it a little better.
Rory: And the goal of not having dirty thoughts is crushed! Ugh! If I wasn't already prone to puking, I would now.
Jess: Way too much information for my mind to deal with.
Rory: Now we're both nauseated at the thought of my mom and Luke...(she's cut off when Jess kisses her)
Jess: I didn't need that sentence finished.
Rory: Nice diversion.
Jess: So, now that the diner is out of the picture, where do you want to get some food?
Rory: Hmmm...good question. Oooh! I want smores!
Jess: Doose's it is.
Rory and Jess start to walk toward the market when Rory stops suddenly.
Rory: I can't. I can't go back in there.
Jess: Don't worry. I understand. You wait here and I'll get the food, okay?
Rory: Okay. Thank you.
Jess kisses her cheek and enters the market. Taylor gives him the evil eye and watches Jess.
Jess: Like what you see? I mean, Taylor, I never knew you felt that way about me. (he snickers)
Taylor: You little delinquent.
Jess: Awww, I'm touched.
Taylor: I'm watching you!
Jess: I'm honored.
At that time, Miss Patty enters the market.
Miss Patty: Oh, hello Taylor. Jess, everyone's favorite bad boy gone good...how are you today darling?
Jess: Well, Taylor's taking over you and Rory's job of staring at me...
Miss Patty: Taylor! Leave this fine young man alone!
Taylor: Patty, am I not supposed to watch my customers and make sure nothing illegal happens?
Miss Patty: (says in a manner that makes Jess look down to hide the fact that he is blushing) Let me watch him...
Jess: (thinks to himself) Oh God, what did I get myself into?
With that, Jess moves throughout the store and collects the items that he needs and approaches the register.
Jess: I think I'll try something new today and actually pay.
Taylor: Have you learned nothing about being respectful?
Jess: I actually have, but I choose not to apply my knowledge.
Taylor: I'm watching you.
Jess: Oh, that reminds me, I should really look into getting a restraining order.
Taylor: As a proprietor, I am entitled to watch over my customer's and make sure that they do not engage in any illegal acts.
Jess: (As he hands Taylor his money and begins to leave) So, you look after the people who saved their fiancé's from your psycho employees?!
Taylor is speechless at that comment and Miss Patty is silent after hearing Jess's outburst. After Jess leaves, Taylor looks at Patty, still in shock from what Jess just said.
Taylor: Well, I never...That boy needs to learn how to respect authority figures.
Miss Patty: Give the boy a break. Rory was attacked by Dean and he was hurt by it. We all were. If you were Jess, wouldn't you still be hurting from what happened? Give him time.
With that, Miss Patty leaves Taylor to think about what had happened and what she said to him about Jess.
Rory sees Jess approaching and gets up.
Rory: So, did you have fun in there?
Jess: Tons.
Rory: All right. Stop. Something happened in there. I can tell from your voice.
Jess: You want the long version or the Reader's Digest version?
Rory: Long.
Jess: All right. You asked for it. Well, I went in there minding my own business and Taylor, being the cardigan loving jerk that he is, was watching my every move. So, I made a sarcastic remark asking if he liked what he saw and then he called me a delinquent. Now, this is when the fun starts. When Miss Patty walked in a said that Taylor was taking over the job of watching me, which is usually up to her or you. Then, the third sarcastic comment was when I said that I would actually pay for my things, which was just to piss Taylor off even more. After that, he said some crap about watching people in his business to make sure they don't engage in illegal acts, then I snapped. I said that he looks after the people who save their fiancé from one of his employees. That shut him up.
Rory: Whoa, Jess...I mean, Taylor does deserve to have a few remarks made about him every now and then, but...
Jess: I know, I just lost it...
Rory: You could definitely say that.
Jess: Miss Patty probably talked some sense into that psychopath.
Rory: Maybe she used her mouth for good this time.
At this point, Miss Patty calls out their names and walks over to them.
Miss Patty: Jess, I'm sorry about Taylor. He's too obsessed with having power to have any real emotions.
Jess: Thanks.
Miss Patty: No problem honey. Well, I'll leave you two lovebirds alone.
Rory: Bye Miss Patty.
Miss Patty: Bye dear.
Rory: She always appears at the perfect time. Now whether or not it is good or bad is a different story...
Jess: You got that right.
Rory: Let's go. I can taste the smores already.
Jess: Wait, what's that?
Rory: What?
Jess: I could have sworn that I saw a snout and a curly tail.
Rory: Hey! It's not my fault that I'm hungry.
Jess: But, it's still fun to tease you.
Rory: Meanie!
Jess: I know.
The two continue their walk to the Gilmore house and Rory soon finds herself biting into a smore.
Rory: Mmmm. Yum!
Jess: The simplest things amuse you. I still can't get used to that.
Rory: You better.
Lorelai enters the house.
Lorelai: (shouting) I'm home!
Jess: Kitchen!
Lorelai: I smell smores!
Jess: Someone deserves a gold star.
Lorelai: Got any?
Jess: Rory took the last one.
Lorelai: Not fair!
Rory: (now finished with the smore she was eating) Hehe. Me special!
Lorelai: Yes. We all know that. Okay, who's going to make me a smore?
Rory and Jess point at each other.
Rory: My hands are sticky, but oh so yummy to lick. I can't since I have sticky spit fingers.
Jess: How did I know that you would get out of this?
Rory: Me special!
Jess: Yes, we established that fact a little while ago.
Lorelai: Hey, sarcasm boy, me want smore!
Jess: (turns to Rory) How long should I wait?
Rory: Until there's no difference between her and Cartman asking for cheesy poofs.
Jess: All right. (he folds his arms across his chest and leans against the counter)
Lorelai: (jumping up and down and whining) Smores, smores, smores, smores, smores!
Jess: Wow, I think that was fast, even for a Gilmore.
Rory: Someone must have had a long day.
Lorelai: Well, I killed Michel, shhh don't tell anyone.
Rory: I don't think anyone will miss him. How sad.
Jess: Hey, at least Taylor isn't stalking you.
Lorelai: Oooohhh! That's a good one!
Jess: Why did I even open my mouth?
Rory: I have no idea.
The three are interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing. Rory is the first to find it and answers.
Rory: Hello!
Paris: It's a tie!
Rory: What? Paris, what are you talking about?
Paris: We're both valedictorian! They stopped calculating after a couple of decimal places, and we tied!
Rory: Oh my God! This is awesome! Yay!
Paris: I'll give you a couple minutes to tell Jess and Lorelai. Call me back! We have to celebrate or something.
Rory: Thanks Paris!
Rory turns to Jess and Lorelai who are curious about what just happened.
Rory: We're both valedictorian! Paris and I tied!
Jess: I told you that you would get it.
He goes over to Rory and hugs her.
Lorelai: Sweets, that's awesome. All right, I'm sensing a Gilmore party.
Rory: Yay! Actually, Paris wants me to call her back because she wants to celebrate, but I think that she would be okay with a Gilmore party.
Lorelai: Party!
Jess: Okay, now I'm afraid.
Rory: You should be.
Rory picks up the phone again and calls Paris.
Paris: Hello?
Rory: Hey! My mom's thinking about throwing an infamous Gilmore party to celebrate.
Paris: Good idea. They are always fun. Just one thing...
Rory: No Stars Hollow inhabitants?
Paris: Maybe you did earn that title after all.
Rory: Whoa, Paris Gellar, using sarcasm? I never thought I would see the day.
Paris: Blame Jess.
Rory: No problem. I already blame him for everything.
Jess hears Rory.
Jess: What did I do now?
Rory: Just spread a little sarcasm...
Jess: Oh, all right.
Rory: (back to Paris) So, when were you thinking of doing something?
Paris: It's up to you.
Rory: (shouts to Lorelai) Mom, when would be the soonest we could have something?
Lorelai: Um, give me two weeks!
Rory: All right. (back to Paris) Two weeks?
Paris: Sure. We can just ask people in the halls. It's the easiest.
Rory: All right. See you tomorrow.
Paris: Ugh, the weekend's over already.
Rory: I know, but it's almost summer. That's the only thing that keeps me sane.
Paris: Good point Gilmore.
Rory: Bye Paris.
Paris: Bye.
Rory: I can't believe it! I'm co-valedictorian!
Jess: Was there ever a doubt?
Rory: In your mind, no. In mine, yes.
Jess: It's over. Don't worry.
Rory: No! I have to write a speech now. I hate speeches. Ugh, with the good, there's always something bad.
Jess: I'll help.
Rory: Thanks, I'll need it. If I had to write this by myself, I would go insane.
Jess: Go? Don't you already have a room reserved at the local institution?
Rory: Hey, don't talk. It's right across the hall from yours.
Jess: At least I don't have oompa loompas on the padded walls.
Rory: Oh, right. Black is so much cooler than seeing oompa loompas. Besides, there are also some Munchkinlanders from The Wizard of Oz.
Jess: Of course. How could I forget?
Rory: Awww, you're memory is already going.
Jess: Just because my brain isn't a super absorbent sponge, doesn't mean that you can make fun of me.
Rory: Yes it does!
Jess: Meanie!
Rory: Hey, that's my line.
Jess: Oops. Add plagiarism to the list of things I do that are wrong.
Rory: That list is getting kinda long.
Jess: So, anyone want to watch a movie?
Lorelai: Someone has to go to bed.
Rory: When did you have to go all motherly?
Lorelai: Um, when I...when I had a kid at sixteen.
Rory: Nice answer.
Lorelai: I try.
Jess: (kisses Rory goodbye) See you tomorrow. Bye Lorelai.
Lorelai: Bye.
Rory: Bye.
The next day at Chilton. It's lunch and the two couples (P/T and R/J) are sitting and talking about the upcoming party.
Paris: So, I've already told a bunch of people about it and the majority of responses were positive.
Rory: Good. It would suck if no one could come.
Paris: Well, we know that there will be at least four people there.
Rory: Make that seven. Lane and Dave are definitely coming and no one will be able to keep my mom away.
Paris: Well, I there are a few people that I spoke to who will definitely be there.
Jess: All right. Enough talk about the party. We all know that Lorelai will control every little detail, except for food, so let's move onto a different topic.
Tristan: I agree. The party talk is getting kinda boring.
Rory: (pouts) Party poopers.
Jess: (quotes Father of the Bride Part Two) 'Every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you...'
Rory: God, we watch too many movies.
Jess: I never would have thought a Gilmore would utter those words.
Rory: Well, learn to deal with surprises.
Paris: So, any ideas for a different topic?
Rory: Chemistry is evil and why does anyone have to learn about it if they don't intend on doing anything related to science?
Paris: Not again...
For the remainder of the lunch period the three listened to Rory complain about chemistry and how she hates her teacher. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the bell ring marking the beginning of the second half of the day.
Paris: (mumbles to herself) It's almost summer, it's almost summer...
Jess: You could say that again.
Tristan: Isn't senior year supposed to be easier? Especially in the second half?
Jess: Whoever thought that never went to Hell.
Tristan: I swear, you get accepted to college, but it only manages to get worse.
Jess: Yeah, and the laziness sets in too.
Tristan: Ahhh, procrastination. It's a great, great thing, but you only end up screwing yourself in the end.
Rory: Dirty!
Jess: Ah, the wonderful wisdom of a Gilmore girl.
Rory: What can I say? I'm my mother's daughter.
Paris: We all knew that one.
With that, the four parted ways and the day soon ended.
Rory: How many more days until summer?
Jess: Nineteen.
Rory: Ugh. And some of those days include finals.
Jess: I vote for F's across the board.
Rory: No, must study. Need to pass.
Jess: Whoa, someone's a robot today.
Rory: Let's just say that lectures are evil. Whoever thought that would be an effective method of teaching was on crack.
Jess: So, educator's are crack addicts now?
Rory: Yes!
Jess: Well, that explains a lot.
Rory: Ha ha. Can you hurry up. I really really really want a danish right now.
Jess: Yes Pillsbury Doughgirl.
The two soon find themselves walking into Luke's, glad that the school day has finally ended.
Rory: Danish!
Jess: Calm down Doughgirl.
Rory: (puppy eyes) Pwease...
Jess: You're evil you know that?
Rory: It's one of my many gifts.
Lorelai walks in as soon as Rory takes a seat at the counter.
Lorelai: LUKEY! FLANNEL BOY! DINER MAN! COFFEE!
Rory: Bad day?
Lorelai: (says with a grumpy tone) Don't even ask.
Luke: Yikes. Want something to go with that coffee?
Lorelai: Please tell me you have pie.
Luke: With ice cream?
Lorelai: You are God!
Jess: Now, that is a scary thought. And I thought it was bad when Rory joked that she was having the next Jesus. (A/N: Sorry about the religion joke, I don't mean to offend anyone or anything like that.)
Rory: Yeah, that does win.
Luke: (gives Lorelai the pie) Here.
Lorelai: Mmmmm....Rory, remind me to create a shine to Luke when we get home.
Rory: No way. That thought is way too disturbing.
Jess: I concur. What would you do? Have Star Trek memorabilia, flannel, a baseball hat, and some coffee beans?
Lorelai: Oooh, smart boy!
Luke: Why do you have to encourage her?
Jess: I speak before I think.
Rory: Finally, you understand what everyone else already knows.
Jess: Well, you can continue talking about the future shrine, but I'm going to the bridge.
Rory: Subtle...
Jess: I try.
The two exit hand in hand and head off towards the familiar spot.
Rory: So, any particular reason for being here?
Jess: Actually, yes.
Rory: Oh my God. It's amazing.
Jess: Haha. Actually I wanted to talk to you about something important.
Rory: All right. What is it?
They are now sitting next to each other, looking at the water in front of them.
Jess: Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to, um...get married before or after the baby. I mean, we haven't really talked about it at all, so I was just wondering what you were thinking.
Rory: Well, I was kinda hoping before. And I was hoping that we could have it be extremely small. Like twenty people or less small.
Jess: Whoa. Did Rory Gilmore just say that she doesn't want to invite all of Stars Hollow? You do realize that they'll hate you forever. Well, Patty and Babette will.
Rory: I know. I just want it to be really small and private. And I was hoping that we could have it here, on the bridge.
Jess: Psychic.
Rory: Or psycho. Take your pick.
Jess: How about a combination?
Rory: All right. Nice distraction. Back to wedding talk.
Jess: So, who did you have in mind?
Rory: My mom, my grandparents, Luke, Lane, Sookie, Jackson, Paris, and Tristan. Can you think of anyone else?
Jess: I agree with that list. Maybe you might want to add Dave. Lane would be left out and I would kinda feel bad not inviting him.
Rory: I knew I missed someone. So, how many was that?
Jess: Ten.
Rory: Wow. We don't have any friends.
Jess: Um, you might also want to put your dad on that list.
Rory: At least one of us has a working brain. So, Dad, Sherry, and Georgia makes thirteen. You want to invite any other family members?
Jess: I would if I knew any.
Rory: Sorry.
Jess: It's okay. Not your fault my family is messed up.
Rory: Oh! I have a great idea! We can do the whole surprise, casual wedding thing.
Jess: Wait, did your brain finally start to work?
Rory: It took long enough. We could get stuff together one night and the next day have everyone come over here.
Jess: I like the idea, but how would we get everyone here?
Rory: Two brains are better than one. Help me think of different ways. The best ones that I had so far are blindfolding them or having a scavenger hunt.
Jess: I'm pulling a Lorelai here and trying the obvious choice. Why don't we just leave them notes asking them to be here on the day that we choose.
Rory: My mom really has rubbed off on you.
Jess: Shhh. Don't tell anyone.
Rory: (imitates Brittany Murphy) I'll never tell...
Jess: So, bad imitation aside, when do you want to do this?
Rory: Um...next week? Me impatient.
Jess: Sure, but do you think that everyone would be able to?
Rory: Yeah. I'll give my dad some weird lie and he'll be able to.
Rory and Jess continued to talk about the upcoming surprise wedding and you could tell how excited they were. The planning only stopped when hunger kicked in and they needed to get back to the diner to fill their empty stomachs.
A/N: Okay, so I lowered the rating from R to PG13 since it seemed like no one was reading it when it was R. So I tried to cut down on the parts that people might get upset about in terms of rating. I'll keep it PG13 unless I have to change it back to R. This was a really long chapter of fluff and pointless stuff, sorry about that, but I'll try to think of a good plan for the wedding and everything. (It'll be a nice distraction from school and the classes that I am failing.) Well, please review and sorry that this took so long to write. (Also sorry for the insane amount of fluff.)
A/N: Me want reviews! Sorry this chapter is taking longer than the other ones to update but I was stuck on what I should do next. I thought about being evil and having more stuff happen to Rory and Jess, but the Dean thing was enough. Please send me comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Chapter Eight: The Object of Taylor's Affection
It is now June and graduation is soon. During the two months that passed between the Dean incident and graduation, the lives of Rory, Jess, Lorelai, and Luke have been fairly uneventful. Due to the press coverage that the Dean situation received, Rory and Jess were unable to keep their secret a secret anymore from the people at Chilton, and the residents of Stars Hollow heard about what had happened to Rory while she was in Dean's custody.

Rory: Awww, you know I love you. Besides, I'm gonna need someone to yell at in a couple months.

Lorelai: (jumping up and down and whining) Smores, smores, smores, smores, smores!
Jess: Wow, I think that was fast, even for a Gilmore.
Rory: Someone must have had a long day.
Lorelai: Well, I killed Michel, shhh don't tell anyone.
Rory: I don't think anyone will miss him. How sad.
Jess: Hey, at least Taylor isn't stalking you.
Lorelai: Oooohhh! That's a good one!
Jess: Why did I even open my mouth?
Rory: I have no idea.
The three are interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing. Rory is the first to find it and answers.
Rory: Hello!
Paris: It's a tie!
Rory: What? Paris, what are you talking about?
Paris: We're both valedictorian! They stopped calculating after a couple of decimal places, and we tied!
Rory: Oh my God! This is awesome! Yay!
Paris: I'll give you a couple minutes to tell Jess and Lorelai. Call me back! We have to celebrate or something.
Rory: Thanks Paris!
Rory turns to Jess and Lorelai who are curious about what just happened.
Rory: We're both valedictorian! Paris and I tied!
Jess: I told you that you would get it.
He goes over to Rory and hugs her.
Lorelai: Sweets, that's awesome. All right, I'm sensing a Gilmore party.
Rory: Yay! Actually, Paris wants me to call her back because she wants to celebrate, but I think that she would be okay with a Gilmore party.
Lorelai: Party!
Jess: Okay, now I'm afraid.
Rory: You should be.
Rory picks up the phone again and calls Paris.
Paris: Hello?
Rory: Hey! My mom's thinking about throwing an infamous Gilmore party to celebrate.
Paris: Good idea. They are always fun. Just one thing...
Rory: No Stars Hollow inhabitants?
Paris: Maybe you did earn that title after all.
Rory: Whoa, Paris Gellar, using sarcasm? I never thought I would see the day.
Paris: Blame Jess.
Rory: No problem. I already blame him for everything.
Jess hears Rory.
Jess: What did I do now?
Rory: Just spread a little sarcasm...
Jess: Oh, all right.
Rory: (back to Paris) So, when were you thinking of doing something?
Paris: It's up to you.
Rory: (shouts to Lorelai) Mom, when would be the soonest we could have something?
Lorelai: Um, give me two weeks!
Rory: All right. (back to Paris) Two weeks?
Paris: Sure. We can just ask people in the halls. It's the easiest.
Rory: All right. See you tomorrow.
Paris: Ugh, the weekend's over already.
Rory: I know, but it's almost summer. That's the only thing that keeps me sane.
Paris: Good point Gilmore.
Rory: Bye Paris.
Paris: Bye.
Rory: I can't believe it! I'm co-valedictorian!
Jess: Was there ever a doubt?
Rory: In your mind, no. In mine, yes.
Jess: It's over. Don't worry.
Rory: No! I have to write a speech now. I hate speeches. Ugh, with the good, there's always something bad.
Jess: I'll help.
Rory: Thanks, I'll need it. If I had to write this by myself, I would go insane.
Jess: Go? Don't you already have a room reserved at the local institution?
Rory: Hey, don't talk. It's right across the hall from yours.
Jess: At least I don't have oompa loompas on the padded walls.
Rory: Oh, right. Black is so much cooler than seeing oompa loompas. Besides, there are also some Munchkinlanders from The Wizard of Oz.
Jess: Of course. How could I forget?
Rory: Awww, you're memory is already going.
Jess: Just because my brain isn't a super absorbent sponge, doesn't mean that you can make fun of me.
Rory: Yes it does!
Jess: Meanie!
Rory: Hey, that's my line.
Jess: Oops. Add plagiarism to the list of things I do that are wrong.
Rory: That list is getting kinda long.
Jess: So, anyone want to watch a movie?
Lorelai: Someone has to go to bed.
Rory: When did you have to go all motherly?
Lorelai: Um, when I...when I had a kid at sixteen.
Rory: Nice answer.
Lorelai: I try.
Jess: (kisses Rory goodbye) See you tomorrow. Bye Lorelai.
Lorelai: Bye.
Rory: Bye.
The next day at Chilton. It's lunch and the two couples (P/T and R/J) are sitting and talking about the upcoming party.
Paris: So, I've already told a bunch of people about it and the majority of responses were positive.
Rory: Good. It would suck if no one could come.
Paris: Well, we know that there will be at least four people there.
Rory: Make that seven. Lane and Dave are definitely coming and no one will be able to keep my mom away.
Paris: Well, I there are a few people that I spoke to who will definitely be there.
Jess: All right. Enough talk about the party. We all know that Lorelai will control every little detail, except for food, so let's move onto a different topic.
Tristan: I agree. The party talk is getting kinda boring.
Rory: (pouts) Party poopers.
Jess: (quotes Father of the Bride Part Two) 'Every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you...'
Rory: God, we watch too many movies.
Jess: I never would have thought a Gilmore would utter those words.
Rory: Well, learn to deal with surprises.
Paris: So, any ideas for a different topic?
Rory: Chemistry is evil and why does anyone have to learn about it if they don't intend on doing anything related to science?
Paris: Not again...
For the remainder of the lunch period the three listened to Rory complain about chemistry and how she hates her teacher. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the bell ring marking the beginning of the second half of the day.
Paris: (mumbles to herself) It's almost summer, it's almost summer...
Jess: You could say that again.
Tristan: Isn't senior year supposed to be easier? Especially in the second half?
Jess: Whoever thought that never went to Hell.
Tristan: I swear, you get accepted to college, but it only manages to get worse.
Jess: Yeah, and the laziness sets in too.
Tristan: Ahhh, procrastination. It's a great, great thing, but you only end up screwing yourself in the end.
Rory: Dirty!
Jess: Ah, the wonderful wisdom of a Gilmore girl.
Rory: What can I say? I'm my mother's daughter.
Paris: We all knew that one.
With that, the four parted ways and the day soon ended.
Rory: How many more days until summer?
Jess: Nineteen.
Rory: Ugh. And some of those days include finals.
Jess: I vote for F's across the board.
Rory: No, must study. Need to pass.
Jess: Whoa, someone's a robot today.
Rory: Let's just say that lectures are evil. Whoever thought that would be an effective method of teaching was on crack.
Jess: So, educator's are crack addicts now?
Rory: Yes!
Jess: Well, that explains a lot.
Rory: Ha ha. Can you hurry up. I really really really want a danish right now.
Jess: Yes Pillsbury Doughgirl.
The two soon find themselves walking into Luke's, glad that the school day has finally ended.
Rory: Danish!
Jess: Calm down Doughgirl.
Rory: (puppy eyes) Pwease...
Jess: You're evil you know that?
Rory: It's one of my many gifts.
Lorelai walks in as soon as Rory takes a seat at the counter.
Lorelai: LUKEY! FLANNEL BOY! DINER MAN! COFFEE!
Rory: Bad day?
Lorelai: (says with a grumpy tone) Don't even ask.
Luke: Yikes. Want something to go with that coffee?
Lorelai: Please tell me you have pie.
Luke: With ice cream?
Lorelai: You are God!
Jess: Now, that is a scary thought. And I thought it was bad when Rory joked that she was having the next Jesus. (A/N: Sorry about the religion joke, I don't mean to offend anyone or anything like that.)
Rory: Yeah, that does win.
Luke: (gives Lorelai the pie) Here.
Lorelai: Mmmmm....Rory, remind me to create a shine to Luke when we get home.
Rory: No way. That thought is way too disturbing.
Jess: I concur. What would you do? Have Star Trek memorabilia, flannel, a baseball hat, and some coffee beans?
Lorelai: Oooh, smart boy!
Luke: Why do you have to encourage her?
Jess: I speak before I think.
Rory: Finally, you understand what everyone else already knows.
Jess: Well, you can continue talking about the future shrine, but I'm going to the bridge.
Rory: Subtle...
Jess: I try.
The two exit hand in hand and head off towards the familiar spot.
Rory: So, any particular reason for being here?
Jess: Actually, yes.
Rory: Oh my God. It's amazing.
Jess: Haha. Actually I wanted to talk to you about something important.
Rory: All right. What is it?
They are now sitting next to each other, looking at the water in front of them.
Jess: Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to, um...get married before or after the baby. I mean, we haven't really talked about it at all, so I was just wondering what you were thinking.
Rory: Well, I was kinda hoping before. And I was hoping that we could have it be extremely small. Like twenty people or less small.
Jess: Whoa. Did Rory Gilmore just say that she doesn't want to invite all of Stars Hollow? You do realize that they'll hate you forever. Well, Patty and Babette will.
Rory: I know. I just want it to be really small and private. And I was hoping that we could have it here, on the bridge.
Jess: Psychic.
Rory: Or psycho. Take your pick.
Jess: How about a combination?
Rory: All right. Nice distraction. Back to wedding talk.
Jess: So, who did you have in mind?
Rory: My mom, my grandparents, Luke, Lane, Sookie, Jackson, Paris, and Tristan. Can you think of anyone else?
Jess: I agree with that list. Maybe you might want to add Dave. Lane would be left out and I would kinda feel bad not inviting him.
Rory: I knew I missed someone. So, how many was that?
Jess: Ten.
Rory: Wow. We don't have any friends.
Jess: Um, you might also want to put your dad on that list.
Rory: At least one of us has a working brain. So, Dad, Sherry, and Georgia makes thirteen. You want to invite any other family members?
Jess: I would if I knew any.
Rory: Sorry.
Jess: It's okay. Not your fault my family is messed up.
Rory: Oh! I have a great idea! We can do the whole surprise, casual wedding thing.
Jess: Wait, did your brain finally start to work?
Rory: It took long enough. We could get stuff together one night and the next day have everyone come over here.
Jess: I like the idea, but how would we get everyone here?
Rory: Two brains are better than one. Help me think of different ways. The best ones that I had so far are blindfolding them or having a scavenger hunt.
Jess: I'm pulling a Lorelai here and trying the obvious choice. Why don't we just leave them notes asking them to be here on the day that we choose.
Rory: My mom really has rubbed off on you.
Jess: Shhh. Don't tell anyone.
Rory: (imitates Brittany Murphy) I'll never tell...
Jess: So, bad imitation aside, when do you want to do this?
Rory: Um...next week? Me impatient.
Jess: Sure, but do you think that everyone would be able to?
Rory: Yeah. I'll give my dad some weird lie and he'll be able to.
Rory and Jess continued to talk about the upcoming surprise wedding and you could tell how excited they were. The planning only stopped when hunger kicked in and they needed to get back to the diner to fill their empty stomachs.
A/N: Okay, so I lowered the rating from R to PG13 since it seemed like no one was reading it when it was R. So I tried to cut down on the parts that people might get upset about in terms of rating. I'll keep it PG13 unless I have to change it back to R. This was a really long chapter of fluff and pointless stuff, sorry about that, but I'll try to think of a good plan for the wedding and everything. (It'll be a nice distraction from school and the classes that I am failing.) Well, please review and sorry that this took so long to write. (Also sorry for the insane amount of fluff.)
