Authors Note: Okay, so, yes, the break up with Dean was fast, but I just really hate Dean. I didn't really officially start hating him until he called Stars Hollow "…my town…" and tried to pick a fight with Jess. Stupid, stupid, Dean. Anyway, brand new chapter, and I love you all for giving me these great reviews! You all rule! Okay, I'm going to try and write three chapters today, do you dare me? Okay, here is chapter six, my loyal readers. Enjoy!

Chapter Six: Episode One: It Officially Begins
"Rory?" Mom called from the kitchen.
"Yeah?" I called back.
"Could you come here a sec?" she asked.
"Sure," I replied, putting my book down. I walked into the kitchen, and silently cursed under my breath. Mom had tried to cook. Now, that may not sound so bad, but nobody in the Gilmore family can cook. Grandma had always had a maid, so she never taught Mom how to cook, so in turn Mom never taught me how to cook, and I never thought to take Home Ec.
"Mom…" I whined.
"I'm sorry." She said, sadly.
"You had to cook pizza?" I asked, picking up the box. See, we can't even operate an oven.
"Pepperoni." Mom retorted.
"Call Joe." I sighed, as I walked over to the oven and grabbed the oven mitts, and slowly took the pizza out of the oven. "Mom, if you called Joe, we wouldn't have burnt pizza, we would have full bellies and cheesy bread."
"Oh, cheesy bread, I forgot the cheesy bread." Mom sniffed. I placed the burnt pizza on the counter, and looked around the kitchen. Hmm, it looked clean enough.
"Luke's?" I asked.
Mom surveyed the kitchen and nodded. "If you say so."

I hadn't really seen Jess since that kiss in the diner. I kind of went all red, kissed him on the cheek and fled. I am really nervous. What if he laughed and said it was a joke? What if he gave me the cold shoulder and thought that I hated him? What if he hates me? What if Luke ran out of coffee? Wait, now, I'm just talking crazy.
"Rory?" Mom asked.
"Hmm?"
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine." I replied, not looking at her.
"Okay, let's go inside then." Mom pushed open the door, and we went in. I looked around the diner, and decided on a table that was far way from the counter. And if it looks like I'm avoiding Jess, I'm not.
"Rory, let's sit at the counter." Mom said, as I headed over to my decided table.
"But – Mom." I began.
Mom shot me a look that said 'you have to face him sometime' and I reluctantly sat next to her at the counter.
Oh, there he is. I wonder what he does. Maybe he'll give me the evil eye, and refuse to serve us coffee. Or maybe, he won't have anything to do with me ever, like whenever he hears the name 'Rory' he'll punch a hole in the wall or something. As I continued to think of numerous possibilities, Jess walked around the counter and gave me a quick kiss on the mouth before saying, "I missed you today." I just looked at him, and after a good three minutes all I could muster was, "Hi." He smiled, and quickly gave Mom and I a cup of coffee each. Mom looked over at me and smiled, "I think I'm going to like the idea of you and diner boy." Then she took a sip of her coffee and winked.
I didn't say anything, and I just watched Jess work. I think I'm going to like that idea too.

I'm all alone at the bridge. Taylor's still trying to convince people to keep contributing money for a tarp to cover the bridge, but I don't really like that idea. It's fine the way it is.
And it just got better.
"Hey," I said.
"Hey, uh, Rory is it?" I smiled. Smart-ass.
"Yeah," I stood up, and took his extended hand. "Jess, is it?"
"Bingo." He smiled, and we both sat down. "What are you reading?"
I showed him my magazine. "Cosmo, huh. Your mother's definitely rubbing off on you."
"I chose to read this, thank you." I told him.
"Okay…" He smirked. "Uh, Rory?"
"Yeah?" I asked.
He put his hands in his pockets, and starting speaking like a twelve year old. "Would you, uh, would you, uh, be my girlfriend?" I looked at him for a second, and realized he was doing this on purpose, and decided against my first answer.
"No." I replied.
He chuckled, and I looked at him. "I'm serious." He leaned over and kissed me.
"Are you still serious?" he asked. I didn't answer; I just looked at him with a dazed look. "How abut now?" He kissed me again, longer this time, and I still didn't say anything.
"Rory, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, again, before kissing me, again. He broke the kiss, and I just smiled at him. "You do realize you put this off, the more I'm going to kiss you."
"I know." I said.
"So…have you got an answer?" he asked.
"Not quite." I replied.
"Okay," he said before he kissed me again. Oh, I could keep this up for a while.
