"Come in." Max said from his desk.

Rory opened the door slowly. "Mr. Medina?"

"Rory, you most have gotten my letter." He said getting up. "And you can still call me Max."

She sat down in the front desk. "Ok Max, why exactly did I get this letter?" She asked.

"Because you won the contest, you and Tristan." He said.

She laughed. "Of course, he's going."

"Rory, are you ok?" He asked worried.

"I'm fine and I'm not going to this." She said getting up and giving him the letter.

"If it helps, only entered my two best writers out of all of Chilton" Max said smiling.

"It doesn't help Max, I'm not going to Chicago." She said starting to leave.

"I'm not giving up on you, Rory and either is Tristan. You're going to go to Chicago." Max said as Rory closed the door.

"So what exactly is he up to?" Sookie asked as she passed Lorelai another piece of something she made.

"I think he's thinking about proposing to me." She said smiling.

"He told you this?" Sookie asked shocked.

"Of course, he didn't tell me. Why would he?" Lorelai asked.

"Well then how do you know?" She asked confused.

"Well Jesse told Rory that we're were going to be married." Lorelai stated.

"And you believe Jesse?" Sookie asked shocked.

"Is there a reason I shouldn't? I mean he does live with Luke." Lorelai stated.

"This is Jess we're talking about, Lorelai not a saint. I mean if Luke was going to propose, why would he tell Jess?" Sookie stated.

"True, this is Jess who Luke doesn't talk to. You know what you're probably right." Lorelai said sadly.

"But you wish I wasn't right?" Sookie said.

"I wish I knew that I meant more to him then just a girl he wants to date for the rest of his life." She said sadly.

Jess was sitting outside on the steps of the school reading one of Rory's books, when Dean came up.

"So what did she tell you?" Dean asked standing in front of Jess.

"Man, you are pitiful!" Jess said getting up.

"I'm not pitiful¸ I just want to know what's going in with you and my girlfriend." Dean said.

"No you don't you want to make sure that your girlfriend doesn't talk to me and that she only talks to you and your relationship has a happily ever after theme." Jess said starting to walk away.

"Is there something so wrong with that?" Dean asked annoyed.

"To you there might not be but Rory isn't Cinderella or Snow White." Jess said.

"I don't expect her to be…."

"And you're not her prince charming either." Jess said.

"And you are?" Dean asked annoyed.

"Have you ever thought that Rory doesn't want nor does she does she need a Prince Charming?" Jess stated.

"I think that's her choice not yours." He said.

"Yeah well maybe she has made her choice and you just need to accept that."

"You know until she tells me it's through, it's not." He said.

"She was right you are clingy." Jess mumbled walking away.

"You ok?" Jackson asked Luke sitting down at a stool in the restaurant.

"Why are here?" Luke asked annoyed.

"To eat." Jackson said.

"Then eat. Don't talk." Luke said and handed him food.

"I don't want this." Jackson said.

"Does it really matter? Just put the food in your mouth, eat it, pay and leave. We'll all be happy." Luke said starting to walk off.

"So she wants you to propose." Jackson said with a smile.

Luke came back with big eyes. "Who told you?"

Jackson put the food in his mouth and smiled.

Luke took the rest of the plate. "Talk now."

"Hey you told me to eat and I'm trying eat." Jackson said annoyed.

"Talk first, eat later." Luke said smiling.
