Friday June 11th 2004

Luke Closed the diner, and he and Lorelai are at the Crap Shack, they are just about to leave, they are going to take Luke's GMC Denali, to the diner to get coffee for Lorelai, and then they are going to go to the Gilmore Mansion to prepare for the surprise party.

Lorelai is wearing a black spaghetti strap dress, ¾ length and her hair is curly

Luke is wearing a pair of blue dress pants, and a polo shirt

Rory is wearing a black cargo skirt and a polo shirt

Jess is wearing black cargo pants, and a blue button down shirt

Lorelai and Luke walk in to the diner, and see Rory and Jess coming down the stairs

Lorelai- hello everyone

Rory- hi mom, you look nice

Lorelai- so do you

Luke- Rory, Jess would you like a cup of coffee?

Rory- yes please

Jess- yes please, but make it a medium please

Luke- no problem, here you guys go

J, L, R – thanks

Luke- are we ready to go?

Lorelai- yes, bye guys, see you soon

Rory, Jess – bye

Luke and Lorelai walk out of the diner, and Jess locks the door behind them, he goes up to Rory and starts making out with her, after a few minutes, they pull away.

Jess- would you mind if we go to the bridge, we still have 30 minutes before we have to be there

Rory- nope, we haven't gone as much lately

Jess- we should change that

Rory- I agree

Jess and Rory grab there things, and Jess locks the diner door behind them, and he and Rory hold hands and head for the bridge, when they get there they have a seat, and Jess lies down on the bridge, and Rory places her head on his stomach, and she can hear his breathing, they just sit there till Rory says something.

Rory- so are you excited your birthday is on Monday?

Jess- more nervous, then excited

Rory- was it because of that whole adult thing that Dave said?

Jess- I don't know, but I do know that it is a good thing, I am going to be 19, how cool is that?

Rory- exactly, positive thoughts, and I am not that far away from you

Jess- yup, August 5th

Rory- poor lane, has to wait so long

Jess- yeah but if you think about she is lucky

Rory- no she isn't, it is inevitable that she is going to turn 19 in February

Jess- you're very analytical

Rory- thank you, you're a procrastinator

Jess- so were pointing out our flaws, know

Rory- no, I am pointing out yours

Jess- ha…ha very funny, now you must be tickled

Jess starts to tickle Rory

Rory- I…give…up

Jess stops and kisses Rory

Rory- I love you

Jess- I love you too, now we have to go, or else where going to be late

Rory- ok dodger

Jess- here (puts out his hand)

Rory- thanks

Jess- no problem

Rory and Jess walk to the car, holding each other in comfortable silence

Jess- did I tell you, your looking hot tonight

Rory- you may have forgotten to give me that memo

Jess- well you do, I can't wait to go home tonight, you are going to be in for one hell of a ride

Rory- I am perfectly fine with that, but you look really hot to.

Jess- thanks

Rory- I love your hair like that

Jess- it's spiky, I always have my hair spiky

Rory- and I am telling you in less words to never change it, or else I'll be very sad

Jess- and we don't want that, now do we?

Rory- no, because then you'll be cut off, for a very very long time

Jess- you know you can't resist my charming good looks

Rory- maybe not, but neither can you, you want to get me in to bed as much as you can

Jess- please like I am the only one, you would jump me right here, right now if we didn't have to go to the grandparents house.

Rory- no I wouldn't

Jess- yes you would

Rory- you are so conceited

Jess- really…I am conceited

Rory- yes

Jess- so your saying, that you would not make me pull over this car, and make me climb in to that backseat with you, and just have hot passionate sex?

Rory- that's exactly what I am saying

Jess- look me in the eyes, and tell me that

Rory- pull over the car, and I will

Jess- Ha!

Rory- fine, I would if we weren't going to grandparents house

Jess- I am the guru of sex

Rory- and what am I? Chopped liver

Jess- you're my sex goddess

Rory- can't I be you gurodess

Jess- what does that mean?

Rory- I put guru and goddess together

Jess- ah, so you made up a word

Rory- yes, my mother does it constantly and it is kind of fun

Jess- fine, you're my gurodess, which sounds extremely weird

Jess and Rory get up, and they are the first to leave the dinning room, Lorelai and Luke along with Emily and Richard follow with huge smiles on there face, Jess and Rory enter the living room, only to get the loudest "SURPRISE" thrown at them, along with streamers. Then they see all there friends, from Yale, who took the bus, from Boston, and Yale to celebrate the festivities, Lane's band is on the stage, and They all start singing happy birthday to Jess.

When they finished singing, Lane and Dave got on the stage and said a few words to the birthday boy

Richard- right here

Richard drags out a cake that is a 2-layer cake, it has vanilla icing with quotes on the top of both layers, inside is chocolate.

Quotes from each person, are on that cake:

Ben: Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared.

Eddie Rickenbacker (1890 - 1973)

Lane: Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path of joy.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

Dave: Develop interests in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, and music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.

Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)

Lorelai: Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.

William Wirt (1772 - 1834)

Luke: Keep true to the dreams of thy youth.

Friedrich von Schiller (1759 - 1805)

Blair: If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.

Edgar Watson Howe (1853 - 1937)

Ashley: Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future.

Charles F. Kettering (1876 - 1958)

Sarah: Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.

Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982)

Devin: If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain.

Adlai E. Stevenson Jr. (1900 - 1965), speech at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, October 8, 1952

Karen: The ideals, which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, and luxury have always seemed to me contemptible.

Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

Emily: You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.

James A. Froude (1818 - 1894)

Richard: To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.

Mary Pettibone Poole, A Glass Eye at a Keyhole, 1938

Jess- did you guys choose these quotes yourself?

Richard- yes, Emily and I called everyone and told them to choose one inspirational quote so we could put them on the icing of the cake.

Lorelai- we need to take pictures, so we can put them in a photo album

Emily- Well get Alexia, to take the pictures, I'll go get her

Emily goes to get Alexia, in the dinning room, they come in to the living room

Lorelai- Alexia, will you please take pictures of this cake, then of the group

Alexia- yes, Lorelai

Alexia takes the pictures then, she hands lorelai the camera

Lorelai- thank-you, could you stay close by, so you can take pictures of the birthday man, opening presents.

Alexia- I'll be back in 20 minutes

Luke- excellent, see you then

Richard- thank-you Alexia

Alexia leaves the room, and Walsh walks in with a tray that has coffee, and plates for the cake; 10 minutes later, Alexia returns, and Jess begins opening his gifts.

He got: Books, CD's, DVD's, Clothes, a new laptop, and tickets for a cruise, and a trip to Montreal in Canada, for him and his friends.

After 3 hours of an awesome party, every heads to Stars Hollow, to go home and to the inn

THE DINER

Jess: I am glad we have left over cake

Rory- so do I, so where you surprised?

Jess- totally, I have never had a surprise party

Rory- yes, you have

Jess- well now

Rory- are you tired?

Jess- not really

Rory- will the sex guru, show me his style?

Jess- if the guruodess will let me

Rory- she'll let you

Jess- then I will show you

Rory- yaye

Jess and Rory run upstairs, and drop the presents on the sofa, they then start kissing and head for the bedroom, and the door shuts.
