A/N: Here I am again and hopefully this chapter will be really good. I have one of those 'I must write right this second' feelings. So here I go. Remember to review!

"Hey, Luke." Rory said as she and Lorelai fought their way inside the diner.

Lorelai didn't bother with a greeting. "Feed me right now. And what are all of these people doing in here. It's never this backed up."

Luke rolled his eyes and jerked his head toward Jess who was standing at the counter reading instead of waiting tables.

"I'll help, Luke." Rory offered.

"Okay. I guess now is a good a time as any for you to try it." Luke answered handing Rory a white apron.

Lorelai helped Rory tie her apron on and then Rory set to work.

"Remember, she has to leave for school in half and hour. The bus waits for no man." Lorelai reminded Luke.

Luke just nodded and poured her some coffee.

"Rory, baby, come take mommy's order." Lorelai called over the chattering.

Rory finished taking a young couples order and walked back over to the counter. "Here you go, Caesar."

"Okay, mom, what would you like to eat?"

Lorelai thought for a minute. "Umm…two pancakes, one muffin, lots of coffee, and eggs."

Rory laughed and wrote it down. "Here's another order, Caesar."

Caesar just shrugged and grabbed the paper. "The diner is like a zoo today."

Rory nodded and walked over to Jess. "Hey."

Jess looked up from his book. "What?"

"Look around." Rory answered.

Jess did. The diner was packed.

"I need help." Rory said.

"Mentally?" Jess smarted off.

"Just move. I can't wait all of these tables by myself."

"You sure? You'd get more tips that way."

Rory rolled her eyes. "I'm willing to forgo that and have you help out. I have to leave in a few minutes anyway."

"Oh, yeah, I heard your mom, the bus waits for no man. Why don't you have a car?" Jess questioned.

"I don't know. I just don't. Maybe I'll by one with all those tips." Rory said sarcastically.

Jess grinned and rolled his eyes. "All right, I'm coming." He said as he stuck his book in one of his back pockets.

Rory saw her bus pull up and quickly removed her apron and grabbed a cup of coffee to go. "I'm outta here."

"She sounds like Jess." Luke grumbled. "Thanks for the help, Rory."

Rory turned around and waved at Luke. "You're welcome. See you tomorrow or after school, whichever comes first."

Luke just grunted and proceeded to kick Lorelai out of the diner. "You have gotten enough coffee in your system for now. Go on. It's time for you to go to work."

"What would I do without you, Luke? My human clock. I'll never have to wear a watch again. All I have to do is set foot in the diner and you tell me it's time to go." Lorelai said with obvious sarcasm.

Luke gave her a look and picked up her coffee cup. "Now will you go?"

Lorelai pouted at him. "Fine. But I'll be back later."

"Yay." Luke answered.

Lorelai glared and left the diner.

Jess smirked at Luke.

"What?" Luke asked.

"You so like her."

"OUT! You have school." Luke ordered.

"Fine. I'm going." Jess answered as he too left the diner.

Luke looked around and noticed that everyone else had practically left as well. Sighing, he sat down and watched Lorelai get in her car and drive away.

A/N: What did you guys think? It might seem kind of short but I've got work. REVIEW and let me know whatcha thought. And about the whole G rated thing, it's because I've had people be less than polite with their language in reviews and I don't like that. So as a courtesy to me, keep it G rated. Thanks!
