Rory walked back into the dinner. "Luke, can I talk to for a second?" Rory asked.

"What do you need to talk to him about?" Lorelai asked suspicious.

"Does it matter? Look go talk to Jess, he just may be your nephew soon." Rory said smiling.

"That's a scary thought." Lorelai said smiling.

"Mom! Is it so bad that I bond with Luke?"

"No not really. But that doesn't mean I have to bond with Jess." Lorelai said.

"He doesn't bite, mother." Rory pointed out.

Lorelai looked at Luke. "If I don't come down in ten minutes send a search party."

He laughed. "If I remember."

She frowned. "And this is the man you think I'm going to marry. That'll happen when hell freezes over." Lorelai said as she started to head upstairs.

"Henry?" Tristan asked as he walked into the mall in Hartford.

"You go to Chilton right? You're… help me here…" Henry asked.

"I'm Tristan Du Grey and yes I go to Chilton." Tristan said.

Henry laughed. "I've heard about you, most if it's not good but I've heard about you."

"I'm not that shocked. Look man I need your help." Tristan said.

"Shoot."

"Well I hear you're dating Lane Kim, Rory Gilmore's best friend." Tristan said.

"True, what do you want with Lane or Rory?" He asked.

"Actually I was hoping to get Rory's number from you. Well actually from your girlfriend." Tristan said.

"Why? I got the impression from Lane that she doesn't like you very much." Henry said.

"I got the same impression but I'm going to Chicago with Rory and I need to discuss something about the trip with her. So can I have the number?" Tristan asked.

"If Lane knew I was doing this she'd kill me." Henry said.

"She doesn't have to know." Tristan said smiling.

Henry started to dial the cell phone. "You better hope so."

"Jess?" Lorelai asked as she cracked open the door.

Heavy rock music was playing and she saw Jess sitting on his bed reading a book.

Lorelai went over to the stereo and turned the volume down.

Jess looked up, quickly. "What do you think you're doing ?" He asked as he went and turned it back up.

Lorelai saw a pair of headphones and plugged them in. "I'm trying to talk to you."

He pulled the headphones out. "Good luck with that."

Lorelai went over to the stereo, took out the CD, and held it up. "Now either you talk to me or this CD goes out the window."

Jess put his book down. "You know lady you really drink too much coffee." He said annoyed.

"Not possible, believe me I've tried." She said.

"Ok, so what is it you need to talk to me about? It must be real important because you've never ventured up here while I'm here before."

"There's a reason for that. And I'm up here because my daughter keeps trying to convince me that you're a nice a person and I want to see if she's right."

He laughed. "Only Rory would say that. Everyone one else in this town, thinks I'm scum, including you." Jess said.

"Well sometimes she sees something that no one else sees but she's usually right about it." Lorelai said. "So prove her right."

He laughed. "And how would I be able to do that?"

"I don't know but I'm bored so entertain me before I decided to kill your disc."

"Let me guess only child?" He asked sarcastically.

"Let me guess you're one too?" She asked.

"See we do have something in common other than your daughter and my uncle."

"That's enough for me." Lorelai looked at the CD. "You know this isn't a bad CD." Lorelai said.

"So how does an older person like you get in to like music like this?" He asked shocked.

"Older? I'm not that much older than you!" She said shocked.

"So what do you want to talk about, Rory?" Luke asked.

"Well for one it's my mother's birthday soon." Rory said.

"And?" Luke asked.

"Well I thought you might want to do something for her birthday like say propose…." Rory started to say.

Luke got up. "Ok, I'm taking a vacation starting now!"

"What?" Rory asked confused.

"Everyone in this crazy little town keeps telling me to propose and I can't take it!" He screamed.

Some people on the street turned around and looked at him. "What are you staring at?" He screamed at them.

"Luke, please sit down." Rory begged. "He hasn't gotten any sleep in a long time."

"I heard that." He said.

"Sit!" She said.

He sat back down.

"Are you just sacred to marry her or something?" Rory asked.

"In my whole life I've only thought about proposing to two people that's your mom and Rachel. Rachel left and how do I know your mother want?" He asked.

"Well for one she loves you a lot and she wants to marry you. Plus there's me and she wouldn't leave me." Rory said.

"So her birthday?" He asked.
