Author's note: Rory has slept with Dean and they are keeping it from Lindsey, Rory and Lorelai have made up. !!!!!!!

"Tissue?"

"Check,"

"Tissue box?"

"Check,"

"Low fat Doritos?"

"Check, and how weird is that?"

"Verging on Star wars," Lorelai took a long over exaggerated sniff, and wiped her nose off with a tissue. "Oh-oh, remote control?" Rory grinned and handed her mom the remote control from their overcrowded coffee table

"So you're just going to sit here and bask in dirty Kleenex's all day?" she wondered, pushing a strand of hair from her face.

"Unless you want me to run around the streets of Star Hollows naked and claim that it's part of my religion,"

"Plan A. sounded peachy now that I think about it,"

"Agreed," Lorelai exclaimed. "So, babe, what you doing today?"

"Well the streaking thing did sound pretty good but I'm actually planning on catching a movie with Lane,"

"Uh huh? Well keep it pg; those hormones of yours don't need anymore startling," Rory glared at her mother.

"No I didn't mean that..." Lorelai tried.

"Well obviously if you weren't thinking about "that" you wouldn't have realized that you said anything wrong," Rory pointed out.

"Okay, #1. my brain cells are not developed enough to understand that last statement and #2. I'm sorry if you took that the wrong way, but we are honestly over that topic".

Rory smiled a little. "Over, like the cat jumped over the moon, over?"

"Yes," Lorelai said sincerely, "now go you, put shame to the Gilmore name!"

"On it!" Rory replied, saluting her mother awkwardly, and with that she was gone.

"Good kid," Lorelai mumbled to herself as she flicked on the TV. Dawson's Creek was on, but she wasn't drawn to the familiar small town actor's dialogue but the music playing in the background.

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

She flicked the TV off as if it was an instinct. "When everything- seems to be broken- I just want you to know-who I am," Lorelai sang to herself. A single tear slid down her cheek. She knew the song well. Iris, by the Googoo dolls. A ditty of many mysterious, sorrows and truths. "I-I just want you to know who I am," she repeated. But he wasn't there to hear.
