*A/N: Hey! Just to answer a question I got in a review: This is set after Rory and Dean broke up, but before Jess and Rory got together.

Rory walked over to the bridge. It was pretty dark, so all she could see was a dark figure sitting on the edge of the bridge with its legs hanging over the edge. 'At least he's not smoking,' thought Rory. 'I should get to him before he lights up.' She hurried over to him.

"Hey," she said softly, "what's up?"

Jess looked up. "Hey. I wasn't sure if you'd gotten my message."

Rory sat down beside Jess "I did, but what if someone reads it?"

Jess laughed. "Did you notice I wrote it in pencil? You can erase it. Hasn't that fancy school of yours-"

"-Chilton" Rory cut in.

"Yes-Chilton. Haven't they told you that pencil can be erased?"

"What the note's written in doesn't matter. Why did you ask me to come here?" Rory was getting impatient. Is that why she came here? For Jess to insult her school? "C'mon! Get to the point! Why did you want me to come out here?" When she began speaking, she stood up, now Jess stood up as well. Rory stood there, arms crossed, looking absolutely beautiful, with her hair loose, spilling over the shoulders of her Chilton jacket, her face glowing with the light reflected off of the water.

Jess couldn't help himself. He kissed her. At first, Rory was shocked, but then she loosened up and let her emotions flow. She put one hand on his shoulder and the other in his hair, gently massaging the back of his head with her fingertips. He had one hand in her hair and one in the small of her back, pressing her against him.

They heard someone clear their throat behind them and they pulled apart. Rory spun around. There on the bridge, standing in front of them, was Dean and Shane, holding hands. *Catfight!*

Dean stepped forward and sneered. "Rory. Jess." He said with a tone of disgust in his voice.

Jess grabbed Rory's hand and pushed her behind him gently. "Dean, you don't want to get into a fight with me" He said quietly.

"You mean us." Rory stepped around Jess and said "If you want to fight, you have to fight us both.

Dean laughed. "I'm not going to fight you, Jess. I was just taking a walk with my girlfriend." He gripped Shane's hand tighter. "I believe you both know Shane."

Shane was busy looking around twisting her gum around her finger, totally oblivious to the fight around her. Dean nudged her and she jolted back to earth. "What?" she asked, pouting and leaning on Dean's arm. Dean smiled at her and playfully touched her nose, then kissing it. The two stared into each other's eyes.

Jess and Rory looked at each other, as if they were saying 'gag!'

"Ahem!" this time it was Jess who was clearing his throat. "There are people here. Take that freakshow somewhere else."

"We will. Come on, Shane... Shane?"

Shane had drifted off into Never-Never Land again. This time it looked like she was going to be there for a while. Dean grasped her hand firmly and led her away. Shane, singing to herself; Dean trying not to lose control and tell Rory exactly how he felt about her.

*I know, I know. Dean might be smart enough to know not to go out with Shane, but can't you see he's trying to get to Jess and Rory? Jess because Dean's with his ex, and Rory because he wants her to think he's got to settle for less without Rory. But you see, Jess didn't care about Shane, he was just using her to get to Rory, so Dean's evil little plan will not work. Anyway, I'm gonna try to do L/L and I might (I said MIGHT) give Miss Patty a new husband.
