I think it's morning now; I can tell by the surging amounts of sunlight threateningly pressing against the closed shades. I turned over in bed just fixating my eyes on the ceiling. I take in a deep breath, one so deep that I most likely extracted the very fiber- the very being of the morning scent.

It's the kind of scent that smells so clean and just so fresh that it makes you want to pull the covers way over your head and huddle closely in a ball in the center of the bed, with the sheets falling over you. It's the kind of scent that makes it smell even better with coffee in your hand.

I don't want to move- I don't want to get up, but I have to. I roll over in bed and pull myself to a sitting position. My head hangs low as my arms balance body strait. When I stand, my back cracks and I stretch. A yawn escapes my throat and I drag myself out of my room.

When I enter the living room, I do not look up, but I remember that Jess stayed over last night so I just start talking, assuming he's awake.

"So I had the strangest dream last night, I dreamt that you and Luke were in my room sitting on the floor, eating my gram crackers!" I chuckled at the stupid thought and to my surprise did I find that he WAS eating my stinkin' gram crackers, maybe not in my room but definitely on the floor and of course he's not alone! All the shock had stung me so fast- so quickly that it was at that rapid speed that I fell to the floor. The last thing I remember was, 'hello floor, why are you close to me'- then BAM, I hit it hard.

So I'm lying on the floor, unconscious for a moment, but all the same, thinking. Now the person I saw sitting on the floor eating MY gram crackers was not, in fact, Luke. Now this can be one hell of a joke from God- and a terrible one for that matter, but the person I saw sitting on my floor eating my gram crackers appeared to be my mom.

Then next thing I know is I'm being shaken conscious. Jess had held me up, but the second I opened my eyes I saw that he had a gram cracker in his mouth. So I yanked it out and said in the most dreariest voice ever, "Mine...." and with that, I ate it; in all its 'soggy, been in Jess's mouth' glory and I liked it! When I looked back at him he had the most disgusted look ever and I smiled at him for causing such distress.

He helps me up and I now seem to be face to face with my mom. I am at a loss of words; I have absolutely no idea in what the hell I'm going to say! I keep silent as Jess's hand firmly presses against my back for support.

"I... Hi.." I say in the quietest voice ever.

She takes in a deep breath and lunges toward me and hugs me tightly. "Hi to you too!"

I can feel her tears being embedded into my pajamas. I can feel her pain driving under my skin.

After the initial shock, I hug her back. Jess takes a few steps away, but stands close enough so he knows what's going on.

My mom sniffs lightly and holds me back, "I thought I had lost my best friend.." and she crashes into tears again.

"I miss you!!" I say, I between tears. "I never want to hurt you again, EVER!"

"I'm gonna hold you to that!" my mom responds, grasping me even tighter.

We both took in a deep breath and stood back, taking in all the changes we had endured over the years we haven't seen each other.

"You grew out your hair again!" my mom says.

"You cut yours!"

"Wow, it's like opposites, when you were just starting college your hair was this short, now it's vice versa!"

"Yea! Did you shrink?" I ask.

"Nope, no heels.." She said, showing me her shoes. I nodded.

She smiled sadly and said, "Everyone back home misses you..."

I nodded nervously and said, "I miss them too..."

"So come home! Just for however long you want! But please, we miss you!!"

I looked at Jess who nodded and so I took in a deep breath and said, "Okay..."

She leapt for joy as she danced around the living room.

My mom walked into my room and started packing.

In the midst of her frenzy, I said, "I... I want to tell you what had happened..."

"I know you do, when you're ready.." she said and I smiled and helped her pack.

She was grabbing a few more things while I had changed and went out to the living room to meet Jess. He was sitting on the couch eating my stinkin' gram crackers!

I took the piece he was about to toss into his mouth and said, "Ahem! If I were allowed to, I'd print on every single cracker in that box, 'property of Rory Gilmore'!"

"But you're not, so I can eat em'!" said Jess and so I snatched it and ate it.

He gasped and said, "You did not just eat that!"

I opened my mouth to show him the crumbs and his face was slapped with such revulsion that he looked like he wanted to puke.

"Thank you Anna Nicole, but here in America we keep our mouths closed!" (A/N: that was kinda harsh..hehe whoops)

I gasped and put my hands on my hips. Turning away from him, I heard laughter- laughter!!

"Come on, I was joking.."

"Well hardy har har!"

"Fine," he said as he gave up.

I turned to him and smiled as I lightly slapped his arm. "Are you coming?" I asked him quietly.

"To Stars Hollow? Home of the strange and odd? I dunno...."

I nodded and said, "Would you go if I asked you to?"

"Only if you say the magic words.."

I rolled my eyes and said everything and anything a man such as himself would love to hear. "Oh Jess, you are the greatest man in the entire world, no one can compare to your great knowledge. Your sarcastic comments and small time quips have livened up the universe. I always take your presence for granted."

"Ya know, you do!"

"Come!! Please?"

"Sure," he said nodding.

From there, we were bound for Stars Hollow; I was bound for my old memories. I hope life in Stars Hollow is a quirky as it was back then. Change never suited my personality. For it is change that brings fourth new beginnings, but covers old memories.
