New year's Kisses

Chapter 1: Fireworks.
It was New Years Eve and Rory was alone at least in a boyfriend girlfriend kind of way.
Dean had to spend New Years with his grandmothers.
Rory's thoughts kept drifting back to the tradition that you kissed the person you love at midnight.
She was sitting in the Diner with Lorelai who was going on about something or other.
"So I told Michelle that…. Rory, are you listening?" Lorelai asked.
"Hm? Oh! I'm sorry mom." Rory apologized.
"It's all right. I was just telling you that a hurricane picked me up just this morning and didn't put me down for nearly an hour and that's why I'm having such a bad hair day!" Lorelai said pointing to a misplaced hair on her head.
Rory looked at her confused.
Rory, are you okay?" she asked worriedly.
"Yea, why do you ask?" she said.
"Oh, no reason. I guess you always look like you have just been run over by a truck and I just never noticed. Now really what's wrong?" Lorelai said.
"It's just that Dean won't be here tonight and I won't have anyone to kiss." She said sadly.
"Oh, well have you ever thought that I don't have anyone to kiss either?" Lorelai said looking down at her muffin.
"Oh, mom I'm sorry." Rory said.
"It's okay." She said.
Luke who had noticed that Lorelai suddenly looked sad walked over.
Rory saw that Lorelai had brightened considerably as soon as she had seen Luke standing by their table.
He stood soundlessly filling her mug with coffee.
"Luke, how did you know?" Lorelai asked.
Luke looked at her a small smile appearing on his lips.
"Because I know you." He said simply.
"And maybe because that's all she ever wants." Rory commented.
"That to." Luke snickered.
That night.
"Rory, come out of your room! If you don't hurry we'll miss the fireworks and Miss Patty complaining that she just saw a spark headed toward her dance studio." Lorelai said.
Rory opened her door and smiled a little. "You forgot to mention Kirk making his speech on how 'How only we can prevent forest fires."
"Add a girl!" Lorelai smiled.
Sometime later.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!" everyone shouted.
Rory watched as almost everyone kissed the person they loved.
Suddenly someone kissed her!
She stepped back expecting Dean to be standing in front of her.
Maybe he had come back to surprise her!
But it wasn't!
"Jess?" she asked shocked.
