A/N So, here's the new chapter, nothing really big happens, but I wanted to have a good transition to the break up with Dean. Enjoy it and please review so I'll know what you think about it.

Chapter 3: Funny-shaped pancakes, a brown bag and 'Grease'
Rory stepped into Luke's diner and sat down at the table. Lorelai had just finished her eggs and was now talking to Luke about pancakes. Apparently Luke denied Lorelai's request to make heart-shaped pancakes.
Lorelai: 'Come on Luke, just make them.'
Luke: 'No Lorelai, no heart-shaped pancakes. I'll give you normal round-shaped pancakes and you can cut them in whatever shape you want.'
Lorelai: 'What's the fun in that?'
Luke: 'It's that or no pancakes at all.'
Lorelai: 'How about squares, will you make square-shaped pancakes? Square pancakes look a lot like the normal pancakes, only they are, well, square.'
Luke: 'No Lorelai, no funny- shaped pancakes.'
Lorelai: 'Not even heart-shaped pancakes?'
Luke: 'No, no heart-shaped pancakes, no triangle-shaped ones, no star-shaped ones, no any-shaped ones.'
Lorelai: 'Then how come you do make round pancakes?'
Luke: 'Aargh!'
Luke walked away, leaving Lorelai laughing out loud.
Rory: 'Why do you want your pancakes in a different shape?'
Lorelai: 'I don't, I just like to annoy Luke.'
Rory: 'Poor Luke.'
Lorelai: 'So, what's with the disappearance-act?'
Rory: 'What disappearance-act?'
Lorelai: 'The one you pulled on me 15 minutes ago when you took off and ran onto the street and around the corner?'
Rory: 'Oh, that one.'
Lorelai: 'Did it have anything to do with Jess?'
Rory: 'What makes you think that?'
Lorelai: 'Well, he left 3 seconds before you did, plus I could hear you yell 'Jess, wait up''.
Rory: 'You have good ears.'
Lorelai: 'The window was open.'
Rory: 'Right.'
Lorelai: 'So, wanna tell me what's going on?'
Rory: 'Could we do this some place else?'
Rory just saw Jess coming around the corner carrying a brown paper bag. She really didn't want to talk about her feelings for Jess in the middle of Luke's diner with both Luke and Jess only 10 feet away.
Lorelai: 'Sure, let's go back to The Crap Shack, but first let me get some coffee.'
Rory: 'Okay, I'll just finish my eggs and then we can go.'
Rory emptied her plate and grabbed her coat. She could hear Lorelai order some Danishes and coffee to go.
Suddenly the door of the diner opened and Rory didn't have to turn around to see who had just entered. She could sense Jess' presence, like she had a sixth sense for him.
Jess: 'You leaving?'
Rory turned around and looked into his amazingly beautiful eyes.
Rory: 'Yeah, mom is just ordering some coffee and Danishes.'
They both looked at Luke and Lorelai. Luke handed Lorelai the coffee and a little brown bag.
Lorelai: 'Thanks Luke, see ya later.'
Luke: 'Bye Lorelai.'
Lorelai turned around and saw Jess and Rory standing there, looking at her. There seemed to be a tension between the two of them. Well, whatever it was, Rory would explain it to her later.
Lorelai: 'Ready to go, offspring?'
Rory: 'Yes I am, kinswoman.'
Rory turned to Jess, who was still standing there with the brown bag.
Rory: 'Bye.'
Jess: 'Bye.'
Rory: 'Bye Luke.'
Luke: 'Bye Rory, come back soon.'
Rory: 'Will do.'
Rory and Lorelai walked out of the diner. Jess walked towards the counter and got the napkins out of the bag and gave them to Luke. Then he walked upstairs, still holding the bag.
Lorelai and Rory walked through Stars Hollow, drinking their coffee and eating their Danishes, all of this happened in silence.
Rory was still thinking about Jess and the face of Dean flashed occasionally through her head.
Lorelai was wondering what Rory was thinking, she suspected there was something going on between her and Jess, but she didn't know for sure and she would just wait until Rory would tell her. That is, if Rory would ever speak, because she seemed to have forgotten that the whole world existed.
Lorelai: 'Wanna tell me what's wrong?'
Rory: 'How do you know who's the one for you? I mean, if you're with somebody, how do you know it'll last?'
Lorelai: 'I don't know. You just do, I guess. It's the little things, like knowing he'll always be there if you ever want to talk. And you trust him, which is very important. And you just feel very comfortable when you're around him and he's the one you want, the only one you want. Like the Sandy-and-Danny-kind-of-want in 'Grease'.
Rory: 'That's a good kind of want.'
Lorelai: 'Yeah, it is.'
Rory: 'Thanks mom.'
Lorelai: 'You're welcome, sweetie. Now drink your coffee, you don't want it to get cold.'
Rory felt like things had fallen into place when her mother was talking. She realized now that Jess was the only one she wanted and that Dean just had to go. The only problem was that Dean didn't know yet, and sure wouldn't share her opinion on the subject.
But sooner or later she had to talk to Dean.
A/N Like I said, nothing big happened, but I'll make the next chapter longer, I promise!
