The next morning the three Gilmore Girls went over to Luke's for one last cup of coffee, before they would walk Samantha to the bus-stop. They bell above the door jingled, spreading his happy yet annoying tune through the diner. Luke, who knew that it was them, didn't even look up. Jess on the other hand did and shot Rory a little secretive smile making her eyes sparkle even brighter than the most expensive diamonds. It made her feel special, it made her feel as if she and Jess had done something that only they knew about when really they didn't. Well okay, there was the phone call, but it wasn't exactly something earthshaking. Or maybe it was ? It did make her feel happy, talking to Jess on while the rest of Stars Hollow was asleep. Rory followed her mom and Samantha to the counter, never taking her eyes off of Jess. Lorelai saw and hid a smile. She sat down at the counter and greeted Luke.

L: ''Howdy partner.''

Luke: ''Morning Lorelai.''

L: ''Wow, you're being all nice to me.......it's scary.''

Luke: ''Yeah, well, I'm nice to psychopaths. You never know what they're going to do next.''

L: ''Well this psychopath has a plan, coffee.''

Luke: ''Are you sure you don't want herbal tea instead ?''

L: ''How about some coffee ?''

Luke: ''Fine, if you wanna pick your poison.''

L: ''I do and I just did. Coffee sir.''

Luke sighed as he started to pour some coffee in to a cup. He handed it to Lorelai and watched her as she eagerly started to drink, like it was some kind of love potion that would lead her to the love of her life. But what if she didn't need a love potion for that ? What if the love of her life was closer than she would ever know ?

Jess glanced at Rory and hid his smile behind the book that he had been reading. As soon as Rory came in, he lost all his concentration and all he could do was look at her. He closed the book and put it back into his pocket. He casually walked over to where Rory was sitting.

J: '''Hey.''

R: ''Hey.''

Rory gave him a warm smile, there was nothing shy or insecure about it.

J: ''Coffee ?''

R: ''Is there anything else ?''

J: ''Orange juice ?''

R: ''Way too healthy.''

J: ''I'll get you your coffee. How about you ?''

Samantha looked up at him. Although she knew he was Rory's boyfriend, she couldn't help to notice how gorgeous he was.

S: ''Water's fine.''

Jess nodded and went to get the coffee and the water. When he handed Samantha the water, she looked at him with her big green eyes. He could see an apology written somewhere in them. He nodded and focused his attention on Rory again. He placed the coffee in front of her. Rory reached for the cup, just as Jess was letting go of it. Their fingers gently brushed against each other. Jess and Rory locked eyes for a moment before he got out his book again and started to read, pretending that he wasn't affected by the light touch. He always believed in leaving them wanting more, but right now he felt that it was the other way around.

Rory silently drank her coffee as she listened to Lorelai and Luke argue........again. It was always the same. They came in, her mom asked Luke for coffee and if he refused she would beg or annoy him until he gave her the coffee. Rory on the other hand was smart. Ever since Jess moved to town, she just asked him for coffee instead of waiting for her mom to finally convince Luke to give them some coffee and look where that lead her.

Samantha quickly finished her water and checked her watch. When she saw that she only had a couple of more minutes before she would head back home, a wave of sadness went through her. She really didn't wanna leave this little town. Everyone was so friendly here, even though she hadn't been, not to everyone at least. And she didn't wanna leave Rory. She has been so understanding, forgiving everything she did and even cheered her up and convinced her that her mom did care about her. Samantha got up.

S: ''I better go, I have a buss to catch.''

R: ''Hold on, we're coming with you.''

S: ''To the bus-stop ?''

L: ''No, we're moving in with you.''

Samantha smiled. She knew it was a silly, little joke, but for some reason she still felt disappointed in some way. The two Gilmore Girls got up and Lorelai grabbed Samantha's bag.

L: ''Come on Luke, you're coming too.''

Luke: ''I am ?''

L: ''Yep and Jess too.''

Luke: ''Apparently you know me better than I do.''

L: ''Please Luke ?''

Luke: ''Why ?''

Lorelai shot him a look and gestured towards Samantha.

Luke: ''What do I mean why, of course I'm coming with you guys. Wouldn't miss it for the world, right Jess ?''

J: ''Whatever you say Luke. Do you think maybe we could hold hands and skip first ?''

Luke: ''I hate that line.''

L: ''I think I have a skipping rope at home.''

Luke: ''Why are you helping him ?''

L: ''Cause I am the skipping queen.''

R: ''The last time you skipped you tripped over the rope and fell flat on your face.''

Luke: ''Way to go skipping queen.''

L: ''Let's just go.''

J: ''Yeah, we can skip on the way there.''

Rory smiled and shook her head as she followed the rest towards the door. Moments later she felt Jess put his arm around her shoulders and she rested her head against his chest.

*~*~*

As they approached the bus-stop, they saw the huge crowd of people that was standing in front of it. Practically whole Stars Hollow was here, in front of the bus-stop.

Luke: ''What the..........?''

J: ''Are they holding a crossing the street race ?''

Lorelai and Rory both shot him a look.

J: ''I have seen weirder things.''

Luke: ''He's right.''

R: ''Yeah, like the outline of a dead body in front of Doose's. Did they ever find the person did that ?''

Jess and Rory both smiled at the memory.

L: ''Nope, Taylor's still working on it. He can be real persistent.''

Luke: ''Tell me about it.''

They reached the crowd and when they did, everyone was smiling and talking. Lorelai tried to catch some of the words, but because everyone was talking at the same time, she didn't have a clue what they were saying. Rory just stood there with a smile on her face, glad that everyone showed up just as they promised.

L: ''Hey !''

Lorelai tried to get the crowd's attention, but no one listened to her. They all continued gossiping. Lorelai put her fingers in her mouth and whistled. Finally the crowd noticed them and stopped talking long enough for Lorelai to say something.

L: ''Finally. What is everyone doing here ?''

Taylor took a step forward and started to talk.

T: ''We came to say goodbye to Samantha.''

S: ''You did ?''

Mrs. Patty: ''Of course sweetie, you didn't think we would just let you leave without saying goodbye ?''

S: ''Well...................''

L: ''How did you guys that she was leaving anyway ?''

Babette: ''This is Stars Hollow doll.''

Mrs. Patty: ''We know about everything.''

Luke: ''Especially you.''

Mrs. Patty: ''What was that ?''

Luke: ''I said how nice of you.''

Mrs. Patty: ''Ah, it's nothing.''

Samantha looked away from the crowd for a moment and met Rory's eyes. Rory smiled at her and Samantha smiled back. Whatever Rory did, she was thankful that she did. Right at that moment the bus arrived and the moment of Samantha's departure was there. Everyone in town either gave her hug or a kiss on her cheek. She even exchanged phone numbers and e-mail addresses with some of them. Kirk even brought Cat Kirk to say goodbye to Samantha. And even though she thought it was a little weird, she found it a real friendly gesture. These were truly the nicest people she had ever met in her entire life. Finally she found the four people who walked her to the bus-stop. She gave Jess a grateful smile, awkwardly shook Luke's hand and quickly hugged Lorelai. When she reached Rory she felt like crying, she felt as if she was leaving her best friend.

S: ''Hey.''

R: ''Hey.''

S: ''Thanks for...........''

Samantha looked around and smiled when she saw all the smiling faces around her.

S: ''................everything.''

R: ''Your welcome.''

Samantha and Rory hugged each other tightly. When Samantha let go they both had tears in their eyes. In these couple of days they had become much closer than they were before.

S: ''Don't forget to call me.''

R: ''Don't you forget to mail me.''

Samantha smiled.

S: ''I won't.''

R: ''Good luck with your mom.''

S: ''Thanks, I'm gonna miss you.''

R: ''Same here.''

Samantha smiled and grabbed her bag. She looked at the crowd of people one more time before she stepped on the buss. She took a seat at a window so she could take a last look at Rory, Lorelai and all the crazy people in this town. Suddenly the thought of the crazy zombie people popped in to her head and she started to laugh softly. As the bus drove off, she knew that one day she would be back.

When Rory and Lorelai couldn't see the bus anymore, they decided to get another cup of coffee at Luke's. They had their arms around each other as they followed Luke and Jess into the diner. When Rory closed the door behind her, she smiled. So, maybe her life wasn't perfect, but no one's was. It did come close though.
