Luke's Apartment
Rory sees the sun shining through the window, Lorelai and Luke have finally moved in with each other in the crap shack, Jess and Rory are the proud new owners of this apartment, they have redecorated with Emily's help, and now it is a styling new dig for students, and it is aligned with tons of bookshelves that is full of books from Jess & Rory's collection.
-Rory's Thought's-
I feel excellent this morning, the snow is gone I have a wonderful apartment and I live with the love of my life, I am done my first year of Yale, and I passed all of my classes with 70's and 80's. My Best Friend Lane is going to be getting married in Fall of 2006, and My mother is extremely happy with Luke Danes, and they now have there own place, even though it isn't new, my mother's business is extremely good and everything is just perfect. My god I am so lucky, how did I become so lucky… Jess…I love him so much, he is so precious to me, and he looks so peaceful sleeping, he has a smile on his face and he looks so angelic…so carefree, it is a beautiful sight, I have my health and I could ask for no better life, then the one I have now, I wish he were up right now then we could make some coffee and sit in each other's arms reading the paper or a book, then we could go down to diner and eat breakfast and meet mom, and Lane…Dave. Yaye! Jess is waking up.
Jess- good morning blue eyes
Rory- good morning dodger
Jess- how was your sleep?
Rory- awesome, I had nothing but wonderful dreams
Jess- that's good to hear, I had as good of a sleep as you did
Rory- great, so could we make coffee?
Jess- yes we can, I am going to go take a shower
Rory- ok I'll start it
Rory & Jess get up, Rory starts to walk out of the bedroom, Jess stops her and gives her a big kissJess- sorry about the breath, but I couldn't resist
Rory- I haven't brushed my teeth yet, either and I am happy you kissed me
Jess nods his headRory goes in to the kitchen and makes 8 cups of coffee, she walks to the door to pick up the mail and the paper that Luke always puts at the doorstep, for them and she sees two letters addressed to Rory and Jess from Yale, then she finds a letter from Boston, and a phone, and numerous other bills.
-Rory's Thoughts-
Wow, there is lot's of mail, I can't wait to read the letter from Sarah, Devin and Ben, Also I need to find out what my final marks are, I have an idea but I am not certain, Jess wants to know his marks, he's banging his head against walls because he wants to know if he passed, which I know he did because he gets 70's in his classes.
-Jess's Thoughts-
what are my marks, it's driving me crazy, I am so happy to be able to be with Rory she is the love of my life and we are going to be together forever, wow listen to me, I sound like a hopeless romantic, I am like in total shock on how my life has turned out I remember I came to stars hollow and I hated it, I wanted to destroy everyone's happiness, only because I was in so much pain and I was lost, but then I kept on track after Luke maid me become a better person, and ever since then I have had the perfect life, excellent girlfriend, excellent "parent", my health, happiness, love all around me, best friends, a Chilton diploma, and Yale, I could ask for nothing more.
Jess walks out of the bathroom, and goes in to the kitchen; Rory is pouring two cups of coffee, unaware of Jess standing there.
-Jess-
God look at her, she stands so tall, and so proud, she looks like she has never experienced hurt, even though I know it not true, god when Christopher died it was extremely sad, she and Lorelai were crying for weeks, Luke and I had no idea how to comfort them, but we did what we could and it really helped them. Lorelai was upset, because he was the father of her baby girl, and she always loved him, even though they both knew they would have never ever made it as a couple, Rory was so heartbroken her father died and it was so unexpected because he was only 32, but that's what happens in life, at times people die, and you can never understand why? What could he have done differently? Know every year we go to the cemetery to say hello to chris, and to let him know that everyone is okay, we even run in to Georgia and Sherry at times, it isn't a warm and cozy meeting but it is a kind of meeting where I'll be nice if you be nice, I can't complain about it though, because at least they are trying even if it's for 5 minutes. I hope to god, that no one else has to ever experience that again, anytime soon, because it sucks.
Jess- Hello
Rory- Hi, here you go (hands Jess the coffee) and we got the mail
Jess- thank-you, from whom?
Rory- Devin, Sarah, and Ben, Yale, and Bills
Jess- did you say Yale?
Rory- no I said Pale
Jess- ha ha funny, let's stress Jess out even more
Rory- It is official I have a mission in life; to stress you out enough so you get gray hair at the age of 19
Jess- can't wait
Rory- here you go Yale boy (she hands Jess the Yale letter; Jess tears it open and in the process almost gets a paper cut)
Jess- In History 69, Philosophy 73, English 88, Gym 71
Rory- Congratulations Babe (kisses her boyfriend) now my turn (Rory open's her envelope) Psychology 81, Journalism 90, English 88, and Gym 69

Rory goes outside and gets in to Jess's car and drives to her mother's house, she walks in and walks up to her mother's bedroom, she looks in and notices there is no one there, she walks to the bathroom and looks in, she notices her mother holding something, something that is long, it looks like a stick.
-Rory's Thoughts-

Rory- don't forget your taste in music, and Art he or she will be highly educated because we know a lot of highly educated people
Lorelai- I am so excited I am going to have a baby, and it will have features from Luke and Myself, hey maybe it will have that absurd obsession with plaid and backwards baseball caps?

Lorelai- is it too late to change fathers?
Rory- you know you wouldn't have it any other way
Lorelai- I know, so darling, how come you're here?
Rory- I promise to never come back here, again… (Rory starts walking away and down the stairs)
Lorelai- baby, wait it was just out of curiosity
Rory- I came to wake you up, so we could have breakfast together
Lorelai- ohh, thanks honey, come on let's go
Lorelai and Rory start walking they get in to Jess's Car, and they drive to the Diner, they walk and there is a table ready, with the food and coffee, Jess is about to sit down
