Disclaimer:I own nothing,well I'm in love with Jess,but who isn't?:)
A/N:Okay,fellow literati fans,at a couple of points in this story you are going to want to murder me! But please don't,have faith!!
It's a dreary Thursday morning,it's cold out,and the kind of day that you would rather just stay in bed and read or watch a movie.Unfortunately,I have to go to school,in the cold.I walked in the livingroom

"Mom,are you ready?I need coffee desperately."

"You know hon,I have to put my shoes on,so go ahead and start walking,I"ll catch up."

I grabbed my backpack,"Okay."

When I got to Luke's,I saw Jess and Shane kissing.Do they know people have to eat here?Jess looked at me so I quickly looked away,I didn't want him to see me watching his trashy girlfriend.Blech!When I looked away though,I saw Mom standing there.

"Oh,Mom,did you just get here?"I asked.

"Yep."she looked over at Jess,who was still watching me,and Shane who was apparently glued to Jess' face.

I shook my head."Have you ever seen such an empty and nauseating kiss?"

Mom just smiled."Nope."

"Well,well,aren't we feeling succinct,not usually you."I pointed out.

"No."she agreed.

"Yeah,you can't even form a whole sentence so far."

Mom sat down,"Luke,I need coffee,there,how was that?"

"Much better,you did very good.

"Hon,I'm going to go see if I can get Luke."she said standing up.

"Well he obviously has no help."I said to myself as she walked away and I was looking at Shane.Yuck! I couldn't bare to look at them any longer.I got up and sat in Mom's seat,so that my back was to them.

Mom came over."Seat snatcher!"

"Sorry,I wanted to be able to see the door."All right,so that wasn't completely true.But what was I supposed to say?That I'm sitting here because the sight of Jess and Shane making out was making my face turn green?Okay,I meant green from being sick,not jealous.What?It's true.Oh just be quiet.

"Oh,lovely view."Mom said sitting down as she grimaced at Jess and Shane.

Luke came over,"What'll you guys be having?"he asked.

"Oh,"Mom started,"I'll have some I'm-losing-my-appetite-eggs."she said.

"Okay."

"And I'll have I'm-staring-at-the-door-for-a-reason-pancakes."I smiled.

Luke looked over at the horrid display known as Jess and Shane and shook his head."Smart girl that Rory."

Mom smiled at me,"Yeah,you'll still be able to eat,seat snatcher!"she said.

Luke brought our food over,he shook his head when he saw Jess and Shane again.Looks like he likes them about as much as I do. "I swear,that kid is going to pour at least one cup of coffee this morning."he complained.

"You go get him Luke!"Mom said in mock-encouragement.

Luke walked over to them,"Jess,get to work."

Jess seperated Shane from his face."Fine."

I rolled my eyes even though I wasn't looking at them,I couldn't see them,yet it still made me sick."We should have went to Al's."I whispered to Mom.

Mom smiled."Where's Luke?I need more coffee."

Jess appeared at our table."Luke is upstairs,Do you need something?"he asked.I would not look at him.

"Well,yes,coffee."Mom said.

He poured her coffee,"Rory,do you want more coffee?"he asked.

"No thanks."I said,still refusing to look at him.He walked away.

Mom looked at me,"No coffee?"Mom asked.

"Can't,have to get going."I stood up.

"You don't have to leave for another 15 minutes."she said.

She was right,but I didn't want to stay."I know but I can read my book a little if I leave now.So bye."

Mom sighed,"Bye Ror."she said quietly.And I was out the door.I looked in the window and saw Jess just standing there staring at the table that I had just left.I started down the road.

Back at the diner~

Luke came downstairs,"Hey,where's Rory?"he asked.

Lorelai shook her head,"Apparently she had to leave."

Luke just stood there."Already?"

She looked at Jess."Yep."

Jess noticed she was looking at him when she said that.*Why did she look at me?I wonder if I am the reason Rory had to leave.No,couldn't be.Could it?*"Hey Uncle Luke,I"ve gotta go to school now."

Luke started to argue,"School doesn't start for like-never mind,"he resigned."Just go."

*There's one way to find out if I'm why she had to leave.*And he headed off to the bridge. There she was,sitting there.*I was*

I sat there lost in my thoughts as I looked at the water,I didn't even notice Jess was there until he walked over to me and spoke.

He said,"It's a little cold out here,isn't it?"

I didn't take my eyes off the water."Yeah."

He walked a little closer to me,"So,are you just going to avoid me forever?"he asked.

I didn't answer him,I just stood up.I didn't know what to say to him.

"Rory?"

"I'm not avoiding you."That was a lie.

"Really?

"I have to go,or I'm going to miss my bus."Wow,another lie.I looked down and held my book tight as I weaved past him.I then walked away as fast as you possibly could,without it being considered running.

Back at the diner~

"You know Luke,this sucks."Lorelai said,surprising Luke.

"What does?"he asked.

"This thing with Rory and Jess."she clarified.

"Yeah,I keep asking what thing it was,because something changed.But he keeps telling me he 'can't tell'I've come this close to wanting to squeeze it out of him."

"He says he can't tell you?"she asked.

"Yeah."Then Luke realized who he was talking to."But it's probably nothing."he finished quickly, as he started to turn away looking rather indifferent.

"No,she told him not to tell."Lorelai realized."Anyone."she mused.

"Lorelai?"he questions now that she's done mumbling.

She sighed,"Hey,maybe I was wrong about him."she suggested.

Now Luke looked beyond shocked,"What are you talking about?"

"Luke, don't you see it?They used to look at eachother as if they were the only two people in the entire room.Now you could see that,right?"she asked.

"Yes,even I always saw that.But something happened."he said.

"Right.Now she can barely even look at him,and he looks at her all the time,but you can tell it kind of hurts him."

"But they seemed so close before."he said,"Now they aren't even friends,they act more like enemies."

"They're both just hurt.It's time to take action,they need to talk to eachother again.I don't care if they're just friends,but the silent thing is not working.I can't stand seeing Rory like this."Lorelai said.

At first Luke was reluctant to interfere,it's not really his thing.But then he thought of Rory leaving before he could even bring her pancakes."Is there something we can do?"he asked."I mean they are both kind of stubborn."

"You know there has to be something that can at least get them to the point where Rory doesn't run out into the cold to catch a bus that's not even coming for another 25 minutes."she thought."Well,once we get them on speaking terms it should be easy for them to be friends again,maybe,or she'll at least stay to eat."

"Well,I have an idea."he started still slightly reluctant."To get them to talk,and even if they don't,Jess will be tortured,so either way I win."Luke finished.

Lorelai's eyes lit up,"Let's hear it!"
"Okay,well I'd have to find some way to get everybody to come to the diner at around the same time."he started.

"Okay,swamp the diner...?

"Well yeah,but I won't be here.I will be leaving for this hour.Jess, however, will be here.And you will have to find a way to get Rory here,without you,at the same time."he explained.

"Let's try it!"

Luke nodded,"It's worth a shot."

"If all else fails,we chain them to a wall until the talk!"

"You're strange."Luke said.

"Yep,but you know you love me anyway."she replied, not noticing Luke slightly blush.

"We'll do it Saturday."he said, ignoring the end of that statement.

"Deal."she agreed.
I got home from school,sliding my backpack off of my shoulder,hearing it thud to the ground.She sat down on the couch,resting after a long day.A few minutes later the phone rings. "Hello?"I answered.

"Hi,Rory."came the voice on the other end.

"Hey,Paris."I greeted politely.

"What are you doing today?"she asked.

"Oh,I don't know,why?"I asked.

"Because I wanted to tell you that I need to set up a meeting,somebody would like to speak to you."she said.

"Today?Who?"I asked.

"Are you available or not?"she asked in her annoyed voice.

"Um,sure.I guess."I said."Well,where do you want me to meet this mystery person?"I asked rolling my eyes.

"I'll send him there.Bye."

"Bye."Crazy person.I can't believe she just set up a meeting that she's not going to be at.About 20 minutes later I called my mom at the Inn.

"Hello?Independence Inn."

"Mom?"

"Rory."she said surprised."What's wrong?"she asked.

"Oh ,nothing.I just wanted to tell you that Paris set up a meeting,about 20 minutes ago."

"Oh,"

"I'm not sure where we'll be going,but it will be in Stars Hollow."I told her.

"Really?"

"And she won't be there."I added.

"That just adds to the weird-factor."

"I know."

"Okay,well,thanks for calling.I love you."

"Love you too.Bye."

"Bye."And we hung up.

Finally,about 5 minutes later,the doorbell rang.I went to the door and opened it."Hi,Mary!"
