Disclaimer:  Again, none of it is mine.

A/N:  Yay reviews! Thanks to everybody who did and continues to- they really mean a lot!  And in the response to the question of possible foreshadowing in You Can't Go Out in The Rain- no worries- I like Jess too much to kill him off.  It was just a filler chapter that showed Rory's insecurities of loosing Jess.  Seeing as how he reacted, we all know she's got nothing to worry about right?

Anyway, here comes the illustrious Chapter 20 where I finally get to put my random Boy Meets World knowledge to good use!  Sorry it's been so long since I've updated!  Please review!

Chapter 20

I bet we have it on tape

June 13th 2005

"Lukey!" Lorelai called as she ran into the diner and plopped herself down on a barstool at the counter.  Luke soon appeared from the kitchen, and greeted Lorelai, not bothering to correct her and insist 'it's Luke.'

"Hey Lor.  Coffee?"

Lorelai nodded as he poured her a cup and handed it over.  "How long till noon?"

Luke chuckled to himself and checked his watch, "Three hours."

"Nooo! Too long!"

"Sorry."

"Wait! It's 9:00??"

"Yeah."

"Why am I up this early??"

"Because you're excited."

Lorelai beamed, "Yeah I am! Do you have any idea who's coming today?"

"Hmm," Luke said, in mock thought, "You mother?"

"Ew! C'mon Luke! It's Rory and Jess!"

"I know."

"And do you know what's happening in a mere two days?"

"Yes Lorelai, I do."

"Eee!" Lorelai squealed, "I'm so excited!"

"I hadn't noticed."

"What time is it now?"

"9:03."

"Argh! I could have sworn it had been at least 2 and a half hours!"

"Nope, sorry."

"Why aren't you excited too?"

Luke smiled, "I am.  Trust me."

9:45 am

"You think she'll be surprised?" Rory asked Jess as they pulled into the driveway of the Gilmore house.

"Are you kidding?  We're more than two hours early. She'll be ecstatic."

"I know!!"

Jess shook his head, smiling, as they got out of the car and began their walk to Luke's.

9:47 am

"What time is it now?"

"Lorelai!  Don't you have to go to work or something?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Cause I'm the boss Coffee-Man. I get to do that."

Luke sighed and peered out the window.  Is it really? No, it couldn't be.  The figures approached the diner and opened the door.  Luke smiled.  It is them.  

Lorelai groaned, "Ahh, not more customers to take you and your watch away from me!"

Rory came up behind Lorelai and slipped her own watch off of her wrist and handed it to her, "Here, take mine."

Lorelai jumped from her seat and screamed, "RORY!" and hugged her.

"Hey Mom!"

Rory met Luke, who had come out from behind the counter, to give him a hug as well.

"You're early kid."

Rory laughed, "Couldn't wait anymore!"

The four of them sat down and talked for the next few hours, the Gilmore Girls monopolizing the conversation as always.

"RORY!" Lorelai yelled, racing into the living room where Rory was seated on the couch in her pajamas, reading.

"Yeah?" she replied without looking up.

"In FOUR minutes it's your wedding day!!" Lorelai screamed jumping up and down.

Rory's eyes got a little bigger with that realization and she too began to jump around the living room.

"We're crazy you know that?" Rory said.

"Yeah.  But this time tomorrow you'll be MARRIED! Can you believe it Ror?  Married!"

Rory smiled, "It's great, isn't it?"

Lorelai sat down, looking thoughtful.  Rory sat next to her, "What?"

"Do you really like him?"

"Who, Jess?"

"Yeah."

"Uh, yeah Mom, I really do."

"Okay!"

"What was that?"

"Huh?"

"You were all serious and now you're back to your crazy self."

"I wanted a Boy Meets World moment."

"What?"

"You know, when Cory and Topanga were getting married and Shawn asked Cory if he really liked her and he said yes and so they went on with the wedding- that was the one where Eric pretended to be somebody else to get the hotel wasn't it? Oh I don't remember, I bet we have it on tape- wanna watch?"

Rory laughed, "No, Mom, I think I'm just going to go to bed."

"But it's still early!"

"Not for someone that's getting married tomorrow!"

"OH! Not tomorrow!"

Rory looked puzzled.

"It's after midnight!  Happy Wedding Day Ror!"

"Night Mom." Rory responded, heading towards her room.

"Night babe."

"So." Luke said as Jess flipped through the channels on the TV.

"So."

"So, tomorrow."

"Indeed."

"Are we ever going to have a normal conversation?"

"No, probably not."

"Can we?"

"Right now?"

"Yeah."

"Oh," Jess hit the power button on the TV, "Alright."

"Well, I just wanted to say that- you know, that I'm…"

"You're what?  Going to finish your sentence?" Jess joked.

"Aw, shut up- nevermind!"

"No, c'mon Luke."

"I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you!  Is that okay?  That I wanted to tell you I'm proud of what you've become and of what you're doing with your life and that even though you gave me hell I'm still proud.  But could I say that? Noo… you had to go on and be a smartass with your sarcasm and-"

"Luke, you're rambling."

"Oh."

"You spend too much time with Lorelai."

"Probably."

"You're really proud of me?"

"Yeah, I am." Luke said quietly.

"Thanks."

"Yeah, sure."

"No really, it means a lot."

Luke nodded and stood, "I'm going to bed."

"Night."

June 15

7:34 pm

Rory and Jess are seated on a Hawaii-bound airplane, holding hands and smiling brightly.  They settled back into their seats when the flight attendant began to give the safety speech.

"In case of an emergency, your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device…"

Rory leaned over to Jess and whispered, "Guess what?"

"What?"

"We're married!"

Jess laughed, "Yeah, Ror I know."

"Isn't it great?"

Jess smiling, answered, "Yeah, it really is."

About an hour later the in-flight movie began.  Rory and Jess put on their headphones as the TV screens changed to a preview.

"Rush Hour 6?" Rory giggled, "Ah, sequels!"

The TV faded from the movie promotion, but instead of seeing the movie start, the screen went to white, and big script letters appeared across the screen.

Both Jess and Rory's jaws dropped as they read the words:

"Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Jess Mariano in seats 24 A and B!

Married for 5 hours forty-six minutes and twelve seconds!

(Okay, maybe not exactly- but it's close!)

We love you!

-Lorelai and Luke"

Passengers around Rory and Jess broke into applause and congratulations.

Jess rolled his eyes and smiled, thinking of what Lorelai must have had to go through to get Luke to go along with such a sappy gesture.  He turned to Rory, whose cheeks were bright red from all the attention.

"I can't believe she did that!" Rory said quietly, the color of her cheeks fading with the applause.

Jess wrapped his arm around his new bride's shoulders and Rory leaned into him resting her head on him.

"It was nice." Rory stated simply, "Embarrassing, yes.  But nice nonetheless."

"Yeah, it was." Jess agreed placing a kiss on Rory's head as they settled in to make fun of the in-flight movie.

A/N:   I'm sorry that I didn't include the actual wedding ceremony, but the way I see it is this:  there are SO many stories that are all about Rory and Jess's wedding, that I feel it's been overdone.  I wasn't in the mood for that much sap, so I just skipped over it.  Sorry if you were looking forward to reading that.  They're married, and that's what's important right?  Anyways, I understand if you're wildly disappointed.  I'd love your input so please review!
