They arrived a few minutes later at Lorelai and Rory's house. Lorelai was upstairs, and didn't know Jess was there. She was getting ready to go to the store.
Coming down stairs she said, "Hey Rory? I'm going to the store I'll be back in a....oh, hi Jess. Um, why don't the both of you just come with me?"
Jess leaned in and whispered to Rory, "She knows, doesn't she?"
In the same whispering voice, Rory replied, "I had to tell her why I was crying when I got home. I didn't want to lie."
"I understand," Jess whispered back, rubbing her arm. It was still a difficult situation for both of them.
"Ok, mom, we'll go," Rory said and looked at Jess, who nodded.
"Ok, let's go then," Lorelai said. She wasn't about to leave them alone. She made out three lists very quickly.
They got out to the car and Lorelai opened the front seat for Rory and the back seat for Jess. He didn't mind, he understood that Lorelai would hate him for the rest of his life. She hadn't really liked him to begin with, but now it was just weird.
Lorelai got in her seat, started the car, and they were off.
"So, Jess, what have you been doing today?" Lorelai asked. Jess decided to be serious. It was no time to be cracking jokes.
"Moping," Jess replied. Rory sighed. She had been doing the same thing.
"Good," Lorelai said. She smiled.
"Mom, please, cut him some slack."
"I don't think so, Rory. He deserves to be moping around for the rest of his life."
Rory rolled her eyes at that.
"So what are you getting at the store?" Jess asked, changing the subject.
"Mainly junk food, but we have to get some fruits or the Health Department will get suspicious," Lorelai explained.
"Sounds reasonable," Jess agreed.
"Yes, we get the apples. We get lots of apples. We don't eat the apples, we just get them. We might each eat one, but we don't really like apples. So when they get bad, we dispose of them in our trash and no one ever knows," Rory said. Jess nodded.
"Good thinking," he said.
"Yup," Lorelai, obviously angry, said. Jess tried to shrug it off. They pulled into the store and Lorelai handed Rory and Jess each a list and kept one for herself.
"You will get what's on the list, when you're done come to the front of the store and wait for everyone else," Lorelai said. They drove for a few minutes, entering the next town, which had a bigger super-market. They pulled into the store. They got out of the car.
