Rory sat on her porch painting her nails a unique red color. She had just finished taking a walk around the town, but did not feel like going inside her house. She knew her mom was still mad at her so what was the point of even going inside the house? It would just be another night of going to bed early, maybe reading a book if she felt up to it. As Rory finished up painting her nails, she realized the last toe had gotten smudged and she now would actually have to go inside to get the nail polish remover. Rory sighed, and walked inside the house very carefully, being sure not to mess up any of her other toes. She found Lorelai hurrying back and forth between the kitchen and the living room carrying an unusual amount of junk food in her arms.
Lorelai: You know I was thinking, we could start off watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and if we didn't consume ourselves with too much junk food, it could be your pick.
Rory: (Stares at her in disbelief)
Lorelai: (Waves a bag of marshmallows in her face) Hello? You awake?
Rory: I don't understand.
Lorelai: Don't understand what hun?
Rory: (Waves her hands in exaggeration) This mom. This morning, you weren't even speaking to me and now you're standing here wanting me to watch a movie with you, and waving marshmallows in my face.
Lorelai: (Motions Rory to sit on the couch, and put her feet up. Lorelai goes into the kitchen, grabs some nail polish remover and begins to fix Rory's toes as she is speaking.) Well, I realized that I hate fighting with you and we forgave each other before, so why can't we now?
Rory: (Shakes her head) I just can't believe it. It seems sort of impossible.
Lorelai: Well, I had a little help in my way of thinking.
Rory: Luke? I knew he was a good guy. Bringing us coffee and making us breakfast, I knew he couldn't stand us fighting.
Lorelai: It wasn't Luke Rory.
Rory: Then who was it?
Lorelai: Jess, honey. It was Jess.
Rory: (Widens her eyes) Jess. But we had a fight? Why would he do that?
Lorelai: Well, maybe because he still has feelings for you.
Rory: What? How do you know?
Lorelai: He implied that he hates fighting with you.
Rory: Oh.
Lorelai: I actually think that I can say now that he's a good fella.
Rory: A change of heart. I never saw that coming.
Lorelai: Yeah, well he helped me realize that our mother and daughter relationship is too important.
Rory: I'm glad.
Lorelai: (Sets Rory's feet on the ground) But the question is, will you make up with him?
Rory: (Stares out the window.) I don't know. I just don't know anymore.
(Cue La Las)
