"Mooooooom!!"
Rory rolled over and threw the covers back over her head. Elle came to the side of the bed and pulled the covers off. Rory covered her eyes with her hands as Elle yanked open the shades. Glorious streaks of sunshine shimmered helplessly on the lazy woman who still lay in bed.
"Get up! Get up! Get up!!"
"Nooo!!"
"Now! C'mon!! We're gonna be late!!"
"Is Jess here?" Rory said opening her eyes.
"No because you woke up so late!!"
"So why didn't you wake me up earlier?!" Rory said, fumbling out of bed. She ran into her bathroom while Elle ran after her, screaming about her indescribably stubbornness. Elle was still screaming at Rory again, about how it's important to wake up early. Blah, blah, blah. Rory shut the door right smack in Elle's face.
"How rude! I'm trying to explain to you, yet again, about how it's important to get up early and you slam the door square on my face!" Screamed Elle through the closed door.
Rory rushed to get ready for another back- breaking day at work. Something she had little anticipation for.
"Okay, okay, okay! I'm ready!"
"Woopi!" Said Elle with much enthusiasm.
"Okay, let's go!" Rory said motioning out the door.
Elle obligingly went out the door.
The day went by fast and soon enough, Jess was at Rory and Elle's house and they all left together back to good ol' Stars Hollow.
Rory and Elle were both very excited and couldn't stop fidgeting till' Jess took in a deep sigh and that gave both Rory and Elle the incentive to stop squirming because Jess was not happy to go. Jess drove them all there in Rory's car and was practically silent the entire time.
When they finally got to Rory's house, Rory took Jess's hand in hers as Elle ran to the porch where Lorelai ran out to from inside.
"Grandma!" screeched Elle as she opened her arms out expecting the biggest hug.
"I thought I told you not to call me grandma!" Lorelai whined.
Elle gave Lorelai the puppy face and she totally caved in. Lorelai hugged her tightly and said over her shoulder, "Grandma is it!."
"Hey mom!" Rory said, walking up to the front steps still holding Jess's hand. She let go when she leaned forward to hug her mother.
"Hey!" she replied hugging her tightly.
When they separated, she eyed Jess. Lorelai thought, 'Hey, at least Rory and Elle are happy.' So she forced a smile and hugged him tightly.
"Hey rebel- rebel!" Lorelai said still hugging him.
He was too awestruck to do anything so he just stood there. Then he thought, 'Rebel- rebel.huh.'
"David Bowie." he said, naming the song.
Both Lorelai and Rory smiled. Lorelai leaned towards Rory and whispered to her, but loud enough for Jess to hear, "He's a keeper!"
Rory smiled as Lorelai took Elle's hand and lead her into the house, leaving Jess and Rory trailing behind. He shook his head as the 2 made it inside.
"Grandma, I'm hungry, what's for dinner?" Elle said.
"Leftover Chinese take- out!" Lorelai said, grinning.
"No!" said Rory as she opened the fridge. "No week old Chinese take- out for dinner!"
"It's not a week old! It's 3 days old! And I had some last night, it's still good!" said Lorelai, defending her leftover Chinese take- out.
Rory bent down to meet the eyes of her daughter.
"Elle, how bout' we go to Luke's?"
"Yea!" screamed Elle as she jumped up and down.
Rory took Elle's hand and while walking out of the kitchen, Rory turned to face her mother and she stuck her tongue out at her. Lorelai gasped as she said, "Jess did you see what your little Miss Perfect did to me?"
"What ever it was, it was probably deserved." Jess said leading Lorelai out of the kitchen.
"Okay! So going back to board- line hatred with you mister!"
Jess rolled his eyes and said; "You're forgetting who gives you coffee when Luke doesn't."
"Aw man!." Lorelai tired and tired, this was one moment where she could not force out a smile.
"It's okay Lorelai, we'll work on that later." Jess said, excusing the fact that she still can't smile at him.
They all walked down o Luke's. When they got there, Lorelai pulled out her mug. She held it out for Luke to see. It said, 'Three Easy Step to Identify a Coffee Addict:'
"Number 1:" Luke read aloud, "They always drink more than 5 cups a day. Check!. number 2: they keep cream and sugar with them, at all times." Lorelai proceeded to open her purse where Luke then responded with, "Oh my God!" out loud. "Lastly, number 3: if they're holding this cup and grinning like an idiot. I don't need to look, I know you're grinning like an idiot.!"
"Well there goes your brownie points, my friend!" said Lorelai, her zealous smile dropping to an unsatisfied frown.
"He never had brownie points to begin with." Jess said, just poppin' out of nowhere. Lorelai jumped at rumble of his voice.
"Geez! Congratulations!! You almost gave me a heart attack!" said Lorelai patting her beating chest.
"Do I get an award?" Jess asked, but Luke piped in before Lorelai could put in her 2 cents.
"Jess?! what the heller- you doing here?!?"
"Hi uncle Luke!" said Jess, less them ecstatic.
"Jess." Luke said warningly.
"I'm with them." Jess said pointed to Rory and Elle who were playing a hand game at the end of the counter, not even giving a glance as to what was going on.
Luke grabbed Jess and showed into the kitchen.
"Hey Jess, while you're in there, can ya get me a coffee?" yelled Lorelai.
"I'll try." said Jess, his voice unsteady because of the way Luke looked at him.
"Jess." Luke started, "I can't have you break her heart this time. she's too fragile for that. and she's got Elle now. and you'll break her heart too."
"I've changed Luke.! I'm not that screwed- up kid that disobeyed every command anymore!. I grew up Luke.!"
"Yea? Then prove it to me!"
"Fine!" Jess said, picking up a discarded washcloth and stuck it in his back pocket.
He walked outside of the kitchen, poured 2 cups of coffee and served them to both Lorelai and Rory. Jess then reached down bellow the counter and pulled out a note pad and a pen from his back pocket. He walked up to an elderly couple that was sitting quietly by the window, while Lorelai, Rory, Elle, and Luke most importantly watched him with scrutiny. Luke crossed his arms, and thought, 'so he took control. big friggin deal!.'
Jess asked, politely, the couples' order and in return both responded with the meatloaf and some water.
He walked back to the counter and called, "Caesar, I'm gonna need 2 meatloaf meals!"
"Ok.!" Caesar responded. Jess pulled out 2 clean cups and poured cool water into both. The whole time, neither one person left their eyes from Jess' busy hands. He returned back to the elderly couple and served them their water and told them that their meal would soon be ready.
They smiled kindly at him as he went over to another table.
Lorelai turned back to Luke and said, "He really has changed Luke." trying to reason with him.
"Let him prove that to me.!"
"Ok, ok." Lorelai said putting her hands up in defense.
After serving like 7 tables, Jess walked up to the counter. As he was trying to cross to the other side, Rory tucked on his shirt and said, "Eat with us?"
He looked back at Luke and Luke nodded.
So Jess sat next to Elle; who sat next to Rory. Rory smiled contently and they ate.
(Later)
They were still sitting in their spots just talking.
"I can beat you playing Miss Mary Mack any day Jess!" said Elle.
"How can you be so sure?.do you have a crystal ball you'd like to share was us common folk..?" Jess said pointing to himself.
She shook her head and said, "Nu- uh! The crystal ball is off limits!."
"Didn't your mother ever teach you about sharing?" said Jess.
Rory, Lorelai, and Luke watched as the two were talking. It was incredibly cute to see Elle arguing with Jess.
"Not with you though! You cheat!"
"How can I cheat in Miss Mary Mack?" Jess said laughing.
"I dunno. you just do." she said folding her arms across her chest.
"C'mon, one game."
"What do I get if I win?" asked Elle.
"Satisfaction?" said Jess.
"Ha! I'll take that any day!"
"You're on!"
They started playing and when they finished, Jess said, "(sigh) fine.. You win.. All hail Elle, queen and champion of Miss Mary Mack.."
Her smiled grew as she stood of the stool and announced to everyone that was still sitting in the diner, "I am the champion of Miss Mary Mack!"
They all laughed as Rory brought her back down and congratulated her.
Luke stood behind the counter smiling at Jess and how he had so much care for Elle.
---Change always took to long- of- a time to actually make a difference. that's why we learn to grow with the change, so when you look back at everything. it doesn't look so drastic. that's what change does to a person.. --- (I made this up off the top of my head. not sure if anyone has said it before.probably not..)
