*Disclaimer: Even after this really super long week, nobody thought to get me Gilmore Girls, so I still don't own the show, sorry to disappoint you*

Ok, well as promised, I have the next chapter for you. I'll try to make it longer, but you have to understand that I don't have that much time. The last chapter I wrote was right before dinner and I was on a break from homework and just felt like putting another up. K, just know that I am doing my best. Oooh and if/when you review, let me know if you'd like super long chapters every once in a while, or shorter ones (like the other chapters) more often. I write this for you so it's your decision.

I've decided to add a little conflict into the story, though I don't know how, but I just thought I'd let you know. If there's any good R/J conflict you can think of, let me know. I think I've rambled enough, so here *ta-da* is the next chapter!

Lorelai ran skipping down towards the beach. She'd already managed to drag Luke over to look at the tiki lights. She couldn't understand why they didn't catch the plants around them on fire.

"Luke, can we pleeeassse see if the restaurant serves coffee?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because it's pointless"

"Why?"

"Because I said so"

"Why?"

"Ugghhh, will you stop already!?"

"Why?" Lorelai said, starting to laugh uncontrollably.

"I'm seriously gonna throw you into the pool."

"I'd like to see you try," she said, still unable to stop giggling.

"Fine, you asked for it!" Luke picked her up easily, and held her kicking and screaming over the pool.

"No Luke," she said in between gasps, "you can't!"

"That's what you think," and with that, he dropped Lorelai into the water. She bobbed back up to the surface, and immediately turned and started laughing.

"Ok Luke, you've had your fun, come on, help me out." She reached out for his hand and he looked suspiciously at it.

"Get out yourself, I'm not falling for your old trick. It's been in the movies way too many times."

"Gee, I didn't know you could tear yourself away from the Diner long enough to spend quality time with your TV."

"I watch plenty of TV. CSI's a great show."

"Yeah, who's your favorite?" They were playing a game of cat and mouse. Lorelai, still in her shorts and tank top was swimming around the edge, daring him to get too close.

He sighed, "I dunno, it's not like I memorized their names."

She scoffed, "I don't think you really watch it."

"Do too."

"Fine, no need to get protective." Lorelai's eyes suddenly widened and she began to grin. Pulling herself out, she ran over to Luke, and gave him a huge – wet – hug. He stood there, not really believing what was going on, and for that matter, not really minding. "There, all better," she said satisfied with her job.

Luke glared at the retreating back of Lorelai, but reluctantly caught up with her.

Rory opened her eyes slowly and they were filled with Jess leaning over her.

"I was just, umm, looking for a place to swim, and then I found you, and soo.." Getting flustered, "you really shouldn't be out here alone, especially since you aren't really dressed for it." He glanced down at her bikini and shorts ensemble (its still pretty warm at night in Hawaii) and quickly handed over a towel.

She took it gratefully and, wrapping it around her, sat up. "Thanks for waking me up. My mom would have freaked if I hadn't been back to the room soon."

"Sure, I was going to go swimming anyways."

Rory sighed slightly and looked up at him. Jess had the "I don't give a care" face on, and was walking over to the pool. He dropped his towel and book and lowered himself into the water. Even though she was mad at him for not caring, Rory couldn't resist staring at his body. Jess was very, very fit, and looked incredibly good in just a swimsuit.

She stood up slowly and walked over to the side. Sitting down, she dangled her feet in the cool water. Jess swam over and grabbed her foot, causing Rory to shriek in surprise. He popped up smirking "caught ya". She grumbled, and pulling off the towel and her shorts, slid into the water.

Jess just stared at her. Rory was so gorgeous all the time, but she really looked great in a bikini. He wanted to just go take her in his arms and kiss her with all his power. It's all he'd ever wanted to do with her. Rory was the type of girl, well, she wasn't a type, she was in a class of her own, above the rest. She was beautiful, smart, funny, kind, basically perfect.

Rory stole glances at him. Why couldn't Jess feel the same way about her? He was perfect, much better than Dean had ever been. Jess was intelligent, loved books, made her laugh, and think, and to top it off, he was incredibly hot. Everything about him made Rory want to go over and just kiss him, right there. She wanted to run her hands through his damp hair, and feel his warm body pressed against hers.

Rory started to unconsciously swim/walk to where Jess was standing. He stood looking down at her, as she closed her eyes and leaned in….

Agghh I know I'm evil, it's another cliffhanger but hey they're a lot closer than they were, ya know? Anyways, that's all for now. If you have any suggestions as to what the conflict should be, let me know. That means that you should press the little button down there and make my day. It'll help me feel better since I can't go sleep over at a friend's house, and I reeeaaaaallly wanted to. K, now that I'm done ranting, please just review, I do this story for all of you, so you pressing the button makes me so happy! Until next time, salut.
