Rory and her mom Lorelai are parking for Rory's trip to Washington D.C.
"So, do you think you'll need to pack this?" Lorelai asks while holding up a pair of jeans.
"Probably, I only have two pairs packed so far and I don't want to have a stuffy uptight look for the weekend when we don't have to go to seminars." Rory responds.
"Really? Don't you have other jeans to put in there like um…." Lorelai starts rummaging through Rory's closet. "Like these!" Lorelai holds up another pair of jeans.
"Mom, I wore those when I was ten. I don't think that I'll fit in those now."
"Come on, your small. You really don't need this pretty pair of jeans that mommy wants to wear on her date with James this weekend."
"Mom… you have like 8 pairs of jeans and the only ones you could thin of wearing are mine?"
"No… I just wanted to keep them to remember you by since I will miss you so dearly and as I miss you dearly I will look extremely cute." Lorelai says giving Rory a puppy dog pout.
"Fine, take them." Rory replies hesitantly.
"Yay! Hey you know what packing makes me feel like doing?"
"Start talking like people from other countries?"
"No, it makes me want to eat. Do you feel like going to Luke's once we finish with this suitcase? Sort of as a farewell since you're leaving tomorrow."
"Luke's? Um… no not really. I'm not that hungry and plus I was hoping I could stay home tonight so I could be ready for tomorrow."
"You don't want to go to Luke's? But it's the best place to go to drink, sing and be merry before big goings away like this. It's a tradition to go before we go away even though it's only you this time."
"I know but the thing is… well… I saw Jess."
"Jess? But I thought he left to go back to New York?"
"I know."
"When? When did you see him?"
"At Sookie's wedding."
"When at Sookie's wedding?"
"Right before we walked down the aisle. I saw him and we kissed and I think I sort of blew him off for the summer even though…"
"Wait? You two kissed. Well I guess that's fine since you and Dean aren't together anymore so what's the big deal except for the fact that I'm not crazy about him?"
"We kissed but then I told him that we probably shouldn't start being together 'till after I got back and I think he was sort of upset."
"Oh… well I guess you made the right decision. "So, you want to order Chinese?"
"Ok."
Well there's Chapter 2. Sorry there was no Rory/Jess scene but I thought I would add some other stuff in the story. Possible some LL romance coming into place later. Please R&R.
