Disclaimer:I own nothing!I'm just a fan with too many ideas, I can't not to write!The only thing that you could
consider I own is I sort of made up the phrase karma cushion.

A/N:Don't kill me...yet!Jess and Rory WILL end up together,I was looking at my last chapter and I ended it looking
like they were together!Sorry about that!I promise that they will get together,but I still have a couple of flirty ideas that I want to put in!Also,thank you VERY much to all of my reviewers!You guys are my reason for writing anyway!!Hope you enjoy!
Jess and I went to the library for a couple of hours,then I went home.

"Hey hon,so,how'd it go?"Mom asked.

"Very very good,I got NORTHANGER ABBEY ,oh and you were right,Jess and Shane are not together anymore."

"So,are you two together now?"she asked, assuming that we were.

"Well,no,not really."I answered.

"You're not?"she asked surprised.

"Nope.But we are friends."I said.

She smiled,"Oh good."she looked pleased.

"Okay,well if you need me,I'm going to go do my homework."I said.

"Okay babe."she said as she watched me walk down the hall.

LORELAI~

Well,I was going to be supportive and pleased if they were together.So now,I'm even more pleased.Rory is single.
That's strange.I decided to call Luke,to tell him mission definitely accomplished.

"Luke's?"

"Luke."

"Yeah."he answered.

"Hi,it's me.It most definitely worked."I told him.

"I know.Jess just came in,he appeared to be on cloud nine."

"As did Rory."

"Wow,that's good.So,Jess doesn't exactly confide in me,are they together now?"he asked,also assuming they were.

"She said no.They're just friends."I said."I was quite surprised.

"Yeah me too.Huh,well as long as they're happy."he said.

"How much do you want to bet that they'll end up together?"

"Oh, I'm positive they will."he replied.

"Yeah,that's what I figured.Well,I'll let you go."I said.

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."We hung up.
RORY~

Wow, what a great day.I did my homework,then I was tired,so I went to sleep.
The next morning I got up and took a shower.I wore a soft pink sweater with blue jeans.I didn't put the bracelet
that Dean gave me on,I left it on my dresser.We got ready to go to Luke's.

"Okay, you're ready, I'm ready, I think we're set."Mom said.

"I agree."I aid, grabbing my purse and we headed out the door.We walked to Luke's and sat at the counter.

"Hello,"Jess said with a smile.

"Hi,"I said, also smiling.

He poured us coffee."Good boy."Mom smiled.

He moved over behind the counter and leaned against the conter.

"I almost forgot, I have to finish my article for the paper tonight."I told Mom.

"I thought she didn't need it until Tuesday."she said.

"So did I, apparently Tuesday isn't soon enough."

"That sucks."

"I agree.I need to buy a folder for it."I said and stood up.

"Where you going?"Jess asked.

"Doose's,for a folder.Wanna come?"

"Yeah.Luke, I'm going out."he called over to him.I stood there smiling sweetly but not moving.After a few
seconds,"Fine."he surrendered."Can I go?"he asked Luke.

Luke smiled,"Go ahead."

We walked out of the diner and headed for Doose's.
DINER~
"I love that."Luke said.

"Love what?"Lorelai asked sipping her coffee.

"The affect that Rory has on him."Luke answered.

"Yep, she definitely helps bring out the best in him."she agreed.

"It's amazing, from sullen, disobedient, teenager, to that."he marveled.

"I know, helping buy a folder, actually asking if he can go, holding the door and even smiling.Quite a
transformation."she agreed.

"She did that."Luke told her.

"You helped."she pointed out."You should have seen him yesterday,you would have never stopped mocking him.
But it's a nice improvement, don't you think?"

"Definitely."he said as he refilled her coffee, without her even asking.
DOOSE'S~
"So, why exactly are we in desperate need of a folder?"Jess asked.

"Because Paris is a slavedriver.She moved my deadline from Tuesday to tomorrow, because apparently the world
would end if my article wated one more day."I answered.

"Really?Well, I guess moving a deadline to one day sooner is probably better than starting Armageddon."he said.

"Depending on the article."I said mock-solemnly.

"And Paris assigns those too?"

"Yep."

"What if she's mad at you?"

"Then I get a piece about cement."I said.

"How very interesting."

"Actually, the teacher said I did make it interesting."

"She actually made you write a piece about cement?"he asked raising his eyebrows in slight disbelief.

"Yep. She hated me,so she gave me the repaving the parking lot piece."

"She's not the nicest person on Earth."he said.

"She's...different."I said.

"She's mean."he said.

"A little bit, at first."I spotted my folder."Blue folder,perfect."I picked it up.

"Done?"he asked.

"Yep, unless of course you need something."

"Nothing comes to mind."he said.

"Nothing for school?"

"Are you kidding?"he asked with raised eybrows.

"What's so rediculous about that?"I asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry, do you not know me?"

"Of course I do, but one can dream."

"You could,and that's very nice of you,but why waste your time?"

"Why waste your brain?"I retorted.

"You answered a question with a question."he pointed out.

"Yes, I did."I agreed.

"Then let's wipe the slate clean.No questions."he suggested.

"I'd still like an answer."I insisted.

"I still don't have one."

"But you're very smart."I persisted.

You're very persistent."

"Sure am.You know you could do great in school if you wanted to."

"If is a very important word."he said.

"Why don't you want to try?"I asked.

"You're starting to drive me crazy."

"I can be quite a nag."I told him.

"Okay, that being said, let's end this discussion."he said.

"Why?"I asked.He's kind of cute when he sqirms.

"'Cause it wants to be dropped."he said.

"How do you know what it wants?"

"Okay, maybe I don't.But I can presume."

"But you could be wrong."I argued.

"I will get you to drop this."he said.

"And how do intend to do that?Stick a sock in my mouth?"

"I'll tickle you."he threatened.

"I don't believe you."I told him.

"Really?"

"Yes really.You could get straight A's, and you know it."

"I warned you."

"So why - "he started tickling me.I, obviously, started to laugh."Jess,quit that! Jess!"I said in between giggles.

"Will you drop it?"he asked with a smile.

"Yes! I'll drop it, yes."I gave in.

He stopped and raised his eyebrows,"Okay then."

I shoved his arm playfully,"Mean."I pouted.

"Yes, I am."he then noticed Dean,he had seen all of this.

"Grow up."he said to Jess.

"Shut up."Jess replied without missing a beat.

"I don't feel like it."he replied.

"Wow, it sucks that I don't care."Jess retorted.

"Think maybe you could stop flirting with her long enough to get through a aisle?"

"That's not really your business anymore."Jess said.

"You're annoying the customers."he said.

"They aren't complaining."Jess replied.

"Okay, then you're annoying me."

"Since when have I thought that to be a bad thing?"

"Since I've been wanting to punch you."

"So since I met Rory.I see."

"Are you done?"he asked Jess.

"Yes, we are."he put a slight emphasis on we.

"Good, then leave, before I have nightmares from seeing your face."

"Well, I'm not doing backflips at seeing you either."

"Good bye."Dean said, then walked over to the checkout.

"Well, that was a friendly exchange."I said.

"Wasn't it though?I changed my mind,I do need to pick something up."

"Okay,"I followed him.He grabbed a box of instant popcorn."Done?"

"Yep,let's go."We went to the checkout.

"Do you want to go first?"I asked Jess.

"No, I'll get your folder."he said.

"You don't have to do that."I said.

"I know,I want to."he insisted.

"Well, thank you."I said.

"You're welcome."The cashier rang the stuff up.Dean put the folder in a bag, and went to put the popcorn in it.
"Can I get that in a seperate bag?"Jess asked.Dean glared at him, then went to put it in a paper bag."Plastic
please,better for the environment."Then Dean rooled his eyes and put it in a plastic bag.We walked out.

"So, you enjoy fighting with Dean?Or aguing I should say, I didn't see fists, now then I think I'd have to stop it." I
said like he did before with Shane.

"Thoroughly."he smiled."You didn't speak, Miss Monosyllable, cat got your tongue?"

"I was too busy watching Martin and Lewis."I said.

"Well, what did you think?"

"I give it a two thumbs up in entertainment.What I wouldn't have done for a video camera.That was not very
nice though."I said.

"Oh, he'll get me back for it."Jess said.

"And even though you knew this you did it anyway?"

"Yep, it was very fun.Have you ever hated someone so much, that when they get mad, you get happy?"

"Once." Shane! Shane! Shane!

"Well, that's how it is with Dean and me.I'm sure it goes double for him.When he makes me mad, he loves it."

"Nice, a system of hatred."

"Good name for it."he replied.

"They should send newsletters, for more ideas of torure."

"He's a bagboy, it makes it very easy."he said as we walked towards Luke's.

"Yes, but you do realize that you work at the diner, so he could be as big a pain in your neck as you are in his."

"Yeah, I know, but I couldn't refrain."he said.

"Well, you better hope fate doesn't have it in for you."

"Well, hopefully all of the torture I was forced to endure before you broke up,will serve as a karms cushion."

"Karma cushion, I like that. It sounds good."We walked in.

"Yeah, well it'll sound even better if it works."he said.

"If what works?"Mom asked.

"Jess is hoping being tortured before Dean and I broke up, will serve as a a karma cushion for him torturing Dean
now."I explained.

"Cool. What's a karma cushion?"she asked.

"Just how it sounds.To justify some torture without it being a bad mark against you in the karma department."

"I like that.A karma cushion."she said.

"Yeah, I like it too.Jess coined that phrase."I told her.

"So, Jess tortured Dean?"she asked.

"A little bit.But, Dean kind of started it."I said to excuse Jess.

*Ha!She's finally sticking up for me against Dean.*Thought Jess.

"Dean could torture Jess too."Mom pointed out.

"He knew that."I told her.

"Well, knowing this has not stopped you from tempting fate, huh?"she asked Jess.

"I couldn't help it."he told her,as he sat his popcorn on the counter.
