Disclaimer: As much as I hate to admit it, I don't own Gilmore Girls, nor do I have the intention of. The show belongs to Amy Sherman-Palladino, although I have to say, Gilmore Girls is the best show!!!

Rating: PG…I think. Oy with the poodles already, I'm not good with ratings!

Summary: Rory was there on the night of Jess's death, but when she thinks back to that night, her mind is a blur. She then goes on a search to find the guy who killed Jess, but she discovers shocking news that leads her to rethink everything…

*~*

Rory sat quietly on the bus, washed away by her memories. Everything that had happened was all a blur. One moment she was sitting on the bridge, talking to Dean, the next moment she was writing a "see ya later" note to her mom and boarding the next bus to New York.

The bus halted to a stop and Rory looked at up. This was her stop. Wherever this was…

She got off and looked around. Oh great, what am I going to do now? Walk around and ask random people random questions? she thought angrily. All she knew was that she was in Jess's old neighborhood. Rory looked around and saw that a bunch of high school girls were walking down the street.

She quickly ducked behind a trashcan. As they walked past, she overheard part of their conversation.

"Can you believe what happened? I knew Jess was gonna get himself killed!"

"All the guys know its trouble when they mess with R-C's girl."

"Does Cheryl know?"

"Not that I know of. Maybe we should head to Kikki's and tell her."

"Not when she's at work!"

"But Kikki's is two blocks back!"

"Let's just forget about it. I don't think she needs anymore pain. Not after R-C tried killing her."

The rest of the conversation was drowned out as the girls walked farther away.

Rory got up and immediately headed two blocks in the opposite direction the girls were walking from. She looked around and saw a sign for Kikki's Diner. That's gotta be it, she thought and crossed the street to where she knew she was a step closer to finding the truth.
