A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews! I'll try and use all of you guys suggestions. Sorry if this story seems rushed in some spots and dragged out in others... I'm still kind of new to this whole writing thing so it might take me a while to get everything perfect. ( Hope you enjoy this chapter and please review when you're done!

"Hey mom, I'm gonna go for a walk and then head back to the house," Rory Gilmore said as she stood up from her booth at Luke's Diner.

"Kay sweets, just don't be gone too long. See you at home," Lorelai smiled to her daughter.

"Bye," Rory waved as she walked out of the diner, but not before she gave a quick smile to her Dodger. She had it bad for him, really bad. The only thing standing in her way of telling him was Dean. She did love Dean, but in more of a friendly way. She was in love with Jess. He was who she wanted to be with. Rory just didn't know how to break the news to Dean, and if she did, what if Jess didn't feel the same way about her as she did him? Rory definitely needed some fresh air to think about all these thoughts running through her mind.

So Rory left the diner and was now walking the deserted, ice-covered streets of Stars Hollow by herself, or at least that is what she thought. As Rory made her way to the bridge she heard a rustling sound coming from a bush a few feet away. Rory knew that there were no stalkers in Stars Hollow or any criminals, so came to the conclusion that it was just a bird that got left behind from flying south for the winter. Then she heard the same noise again in a bush a few feet in front of her. She quickly started to quicken her pace at the sound of this, which quickly turned into a run.

"Dean!" Rory saw him pop out of a bush with a deathly glare and she ran faster.

Rory, however, did not see a tree root growing out of the ground and hit it at full blast bringing her straight to the ground. Rory closed her eyes and waited for the hard hit of the ground, but that never came. Instead, a soft fluffy landing came. Rory opened her eyes and saw that she was in her room on her bed.

"How on earth did that happen?" Rory asked herself out loud. She knew she must be dreaming, and came to the conclusion that she hit her head so hard on the root that she is now unconscious. Suddenly, Lorelai came into the bedroom.

"Rory, it's already 6:50! You have to get ready for school!" Lorelai scolded her daughter.

"6:50! I have to get up at 6:00 to get ready in time to catch the bus! I'm going to be late for a test!" Rory said, suddenly forgetting how she got in her room. Her school Rory came into mode. She guessed that maybe she was unconscious and then someone took her to her house when they found her and so she just woke up here.

"Since when do you take a bus to Stars Hollow High? It's not that far of a walk Rory."

"What are you talking about? I go to Chilton mom. You know that," Rory asked, getting very confused.

"Excuse me young lady, but I will not be talked to like that. I am not your grandmother where you just say anything you want to, whether it be disrespectful or not. I am you mother. Now I don't know where this talk about Chilton came from, but I do know that if you don't get up right this minute than you are going to be late," Lorelai exploded. 'Ok, now that's weird.' Rory thought. But, she got out of bed just like she was told to. Lorelai left Rory and went out to the kitchen where Luke was standing up from the table.

"What was that blow out about?" he asked gruffly.

"I honestly don't know. She said all this weird stuff like about going to Chilton and going to miss her bus and all this weird stuff. I don't know what has gotten into her. So we don't have the perfect mother-daughter relationship, but does that mean that she can just try and walk all over me? Her grandmother and grandfather have spoiled her way too much. I'm thinking about not letting her see them anymore, or for at least a little while."

"Look honey, Rory is probably just going through regular teenage stuff. Prohibiting her from seeing her grandparents might be a little extreme, but she is you're kid, and you should be able to do what you want with her, so I'm not going to stand in your way just because we're married now."

"Thanks, Luke. I really don't know what I'm going to do though. I mean, where did our relationship go bad? We use to be like best friends, and now we are like vital enemies. Kind of like Clark Kent and Lex Luthor."

"I don't think it's that bad, honey. Just give her a little space and then I'm sure everything will get back to normal."

"Ok," Lorelai said as she leaned into kiss her husband. All the while, Rory was standing as close as she could to her door, listening to everything that had just been said between her mom and, well, her daddy Luke. Strange...

"Hey, Lane, wait up!" Rory yelled as she ran down the halls of Stars Hollow High. "You have no idea how weird this morning has been! I wake up and my mom and Luke are suddenly married, my mom is acting all strange, and now I'm sent to this school instead of Chilton. Something weird is going on."

"Uh, why are you telling me all of this, Gilmore?" Lane says back to Rory in an annoyed tone.

"Let's see, maybe because you're my best friend?" Rory asked getting irritated. What was with everyone today?

"Look, I don't know where you got that crazy idea, but you and I are anything but friends. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get to class," Lane said as she walked off.

'Ok...now that was strange. What is with everyone? Is this supposed to be some kind of joke or something? It better not be, because I really did have a test today at Chilton and if I miss it there is no way they are going to let me retake it. Oh well, maybe Jess and Dean will be happy to see me. Hmm, but which class do I go to?'

"Are you lost Miss Gilmore?" asked one of Rory's old teachers, Mr. Rite.

"Actually, I just seemed to forget what my schedule is. I kind of got hit in the head yesterday and I can't seem to remember anything," Rory half lied.

"Well, you might want to get that checked out before you come to school again. I do not do well with sick kids. I give you permission to take however many days off that you will need to, to require the amount of rest you need to get better. Now, I have a class to teach. I will have someone write your work down for you until you return," Mr. Rite said as he opened the door to his classroom.

Rory decided that this was a good thing after all. Now she didn't have to worry about school work while she tried to figure out what was going on. The best place for Rory to think was of course the bridge. So, Rory walked out into the bright sunny day. That was also something different, it was supposed to be winter, but instead it was spring, or so she guessed seeing as it can't be summer or they wouldn't have school.

As she made her way onto the bridge, she noticed another person had already vacated it. That person was none other than, Jess. At first, Rory was weary of whether or not she should go up and talk to him. Everyone else has been acting differently, why wouldn't he? She was just about to leave when she heard her name being called.

"Rory?" Jess asked confused. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in school?"

"I should ask you the same question," Rory said as she turned back around and walked toward where Jess sat.

"You know I'm suspended for a week, but that doesn't explain why you're not in school."

"Oh, yeah, I forgot," Rory lied. "I'm not in school because the teachers all think I have some sort of concussion, which I myself am starting to believe."

"Huh."

"Yup. So, has anyone been acting strange lately?" Rory asked as she sat down next to him. Since he was the only one acting like himself, she might as well get all the information she could out of him.

"Yes, everyone in this stupid ass town is strange; however, if you mean if anyone has been acting strange as in not acting like themselves, like actually acting normal, than no, no one has been acting strange, except you," Jess said as he finished his ramble.

"Wow, you've been hanging out with me too much. You're talking a lot about nonsense," Rory laughed.

"Huh."

"That a boy," Rory smiled. "That's better."

"I thought so," Jess smirked. "So, how long are you gonna be out of school?"

"They said as long as I needed to be."

"You do know that you could probably just skip the rest of school and they wouldn't even notice."

"Yeah, but then how would I get the wonderful education I want to get into Harvard?"

"Since when have you wanted to go to Harvard? We always planned on going to University of Florida once we graduate. Why the sudden change in plans?"

"Oh, uh, I was just kidding. Lighten up there, Dodger," Rory said nervously. 'University of Florida? What, am I going to become a Gator cheerleader or something? This is crazy! But, at least Jess is planning on going to college in this weird twisted world...Wait a minute! This must be some kind of alternate Universe! That's the only explanation for everything that's been happening, except Jess of course. He seems almost exactly the same. But it makes since, I hit my head on the tree root and am now probably unconscious in the real world so now I am living in an alternate universe, but how do I get back?'

"Oh, yeah, I knew you were kidding," Jess said, shaking Rory out of her thoughts. "So, what's bothering you? You seem kind of out there today. Is it because you are starving for one of my famous kisses?" Jess smirked.

"Excuse me?" Rory said, stunned.

"Look, I know we agreed to not kiss for a week, but, it's already been five days and I am about to die if I don't get another kiss. So, do you think we could break this dumb ass rule a little early?" Jess pleaded. 'Oh my God! Jess and I must be dating in this world! So that's what is different about him! Wow, I'm going to be able to kiss him! But wait, would that mean I'm cheating on the Dean in the real world? I guess not...I mean, this IS a different world, so technically we aren't dating. So, I guess it's all right if I kiss Jess.' Rory thought, convincing herself that she wouldn't be cheating on Dean.

"Yup, that rule definitely needs to go."

"Good," Jess said as he leaned into kiss Rory. At first the kiss was slow and full of passion, which was killing Rory. It felt so wonderful, more so than she ever dreamed it would. Then, the kiss turned into a fast, longing kiss. Jess leaned Rory back on top of the bridge so that he was on top of her. Rory's hands were running through his hair as his went up and down the sides of her body. Then, Jess slipped his tongue inside of Rory's mouth, and that's when Rory thought she was going to loose her mind even more so than what she already did think with being in an alternate universe and everything. Rory used her tongue to duel with his as they fought for the one who would take control. Eventually, Jess won, but it lasted several minutes. Suddenly, Jess stopped kissing her mouth and instead, placed his warm lips onto her neck, where he began to suck her tender skin. Rory let out a moan and Jess looked up at her with his eyes, loving the way she looked while he kissed her. Her head was back and her eyes closed. She looked as if she was about to loose control.

'Oh, God, I'm about to loose control.' Rory thought just before Jess started moving his lips lower to the V- neck in Rory's shirt. Suddenly, alarm bells went off inside Rory's head.

"Wait, Jess, we should stop," Rory said warningly.

"I guess you're right," Jess said as he climbed off top her. "I just got kind of carried away. I don't think we should ever try and stop kissing for a week again," he joked.

"Yeah, why did we make that rule again?" Rory asked, wanting to know the answer.

"Because you were afraid that we were spending too much time kissing instead of talking, which is just insane since we talk about books all the time," Jess laughed.

"Yup, well, don't ever let me talk you into not kissing me again, because frankly, I don't know if I'd be able to stand it."

"Trust me, I won't make that mistake again. Hey well, I have to go because I have to work at the diner, Luke is making me since I'm not in school right now, but why don't you come by the apartment later and we can catch up on all the kissing we've been missing," Jess said with a mischievous look in his eyes.

"Sure, but won't Luke be at the apartment too?" Rory asked confused.

"Damn, you really must've got a hit on the head. Luke lives with you guys since he is Lorelai's husband. I live in the apartment by myself now."

"Oh, I forgot. Sorry. Hey, umm, how long have my mom and Luke been married?"

"About 10 months."

"And how long have you been here?"

"1 year, and before you ask me it, we've been dating for 7 months, ever since you broke up with bagboy, but we've been friends ever since I got here."

"Oh, thanks, but one last question."

"Shoot."

"Who is bagboy?"

"Dean."

"Oh, him. Are we still friends with him?"

"No way Rory! He hit you! I can't believe you don't even remember that!" Jess said standing up.

"I'm so sorry Jess. I feel like a huge chunk of my life is missing now, after I got that concussion," Rory said, getting upset. Jess could sense this and immediately softened his voice.

"Look, I'm the one who should be saying sorry. It's not you're fault you can't remember. It's just that when it comes to Dean, I get a little possessive because of what he did to you. I'm really sorry and I'll try not to lose my temper again," Jess said sincerely.

"It's OK, I know this must be hard for you too. But, do you think you could answer one more question?"

"Sure."

"What exactly did Dean do to me?" Rory asked quietly, staring out into the water.

"You told him you wanted to break up and he thought it was because of me, which I guess in some way it was, but not everything. Then, he freaked out and just started hitting you over and over again. Then, I heard you scream because the windows were open when I was passing his house, and I stormed in and stopped him. He threatened to kill us both if we told anyone."

"So you mean to say that no one knows, except us three, that Dean abused me?" Rory said, trying to take everything in.

"Exactly."

"Wow, I can't believe that."

"Me either. But hey, that was 8 months ago, and nothing else has happened, so, let's just try and forget that we had this conversation. I have to go to work now or else Luke won't pay me so, I'll see you tonight. Bye," Jess said as he walked away.

"Bye," Rory said quietly. 'Wow, this world is so different, but at least I know some of what's going on now. I can't believe Dean would do that! He must be a lot different, just like everybody else in this town. Yet still, Jess is practically the same guy with the exception of us dating. But hey, I did want to know what it would be like in an alternate universe where I would be dating Jess and not Dean, right? So I guess I got what I wanted; however, as much as I like dating Jess, I really miss my real world, with my real mom. I wish I could go and tell her about Jess's and my conversation, but in this world it seems as if we have a relationship like she did with grandma and I have a relationship with grandma like I'm supposed to with mom. Wow, could this get any more confusing?'

A/N: Well, that's all for now! Hope you enjoyed, and I hope that this wasn't too confusing! Please review and I'll try to update real soon! Hopefully I'll have some more time to write! You would think that since school is out, I would have plenty of time, but my summer so far is just as busy as my school year! O well. Please review! Thanks!
