Drive Time at Five
A/N: Thankyou everyone for all your support and encouragement! I'm definitely inspired to do more fanfic writing now! I think this chapter gives my readers the closure they're looking for and it's a good wrap up! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: For the last time on this story. Thanks Amy!
The wind breezing through the car, on the open highway gave Rory a sense of completeness, in the highest meaning of the word. Nonchalantly, she flicked the radio on. It didn't matter what was playing. She felt, that no song could ruin her mood, thus every song had to be good. Suddenly, Jess reached over from the passenger seat and changed the station.
"I hate that song." He told her plainly.
Hearing the next song, Rory too changed the station. "And I hate that song."
"What's wrong with Sister Hazel?"
"What's wrong with Mariah Carey?" They each asked in unison.
Again, in unison, they both replied, "It reminds me of the day I almost lost you."
"How you doin'? I'm Mark Ferguson keeping you company all the way home on Drive time at Five, on New York's WHCR, 90.3 FM…"
Jess picked up the steering wheel lock and took aim at the radio. "JESS!" Rory cried, reaching for the 'off' switch. "When we're in your car, you can smash all you want." She told him as-matter-of-factly.
"Except, my car wouldn't be tuned in to crappy radio stations, hosted by crappy DJ guys, that play crappy songs in attempts to keep me from finding you." Jess told her back.
"Did you just ask me what's wrong with Mariah Carey? You did! You just said 'What's wrong with Mariah Carey?' How very pop prince of you!" She mocked.
"If you ever call me that I swear pain will be involved." He exclaimed.
"Heartbreaker you've got the best of me…" Rory started to hum the Mariah Carey tune.
"Yes, I do have the best of you and the worst of you and everything in between." Jess told her matter-of-factly. Rory smiled contentedly. Had they not passed the 'Welcome to Stars Hollow' sign a few hours later, she would have been tempted to pinch herself in the effort to convince herself that she was not waking up from a dream. She'd been able to persuade Jess to live in Stars Hollow with her, although he didn't like it, he was not willing to risk losing her again, by saying no.
Pulling up outside their new place, Jess stayed glued to the steering wheel, even after Rory had gotten out of the car. She went round to his side and opened the door. She grabbed his hand and after a little persuasion managed to coerce him out of the car. Hands still locked together, Rory looked at Jess and smiled.
"You know? I think this is gonna work." He simply squeezed her hand and followed her inside.
A/N: I know, I'm sorry it's so short, but it was mainly just a wrap up! Thanks for reading and reviewing, you've all given me faith in my writing!
