The Same Yet Different

Usual Disclaimers Apply

It was a usual Saturday morning, the normal lunch crowd. Except for Lorelai and Jess those were the only two people missing and they were usually there by now. Luke was the only one waiting the tables, Rory was no where to be found.

"Caesar have you seen Rory?" Luke asked as he ran behind the counter.

Caesar poked his head out the kitchen door and looked around the diner. "No, not since yesterday morning."

Luke let out an exasperated sigh. "Ok thanks. Take care of these tables for me, I'll be right back." Luke set some plates down then headed to his apartment.

Caesar stuck his head back out the kitchen door as Luke walked away. "Hey I'm in here cooking!"

But Luke didn't hear him, he was to frusterated with Rory to care about Caesar's stubbornness. Luke opened his apartment door and saw Rory still curled up in bed.

"Rory!" Luke yelled as he approached her bed. "Rory, get up!" He yelled again and kicked the bed.

Rory finally sturred and rolled over to see who had so rudely awakened her. "Ah what Uncle Luke? It's to early to get up."

"Not when there's enough people downstairs in that diner to keep Africa from starving."

Rory rolled back over on her stomach. "So if it's so busy why aren't you down there? Wait what did you say about Africa?"

Luke gave a little smirk. "Knew that would get something outa ya. Now come on get up."

"Alright, alright I'm up." Rory said as she threw her covers back and started out of bed.

Luke headed back towards the diner. "Oh Rory," He stopped and turned back to face Rory as she was making her way to the bathroom.

"I know, I know don't wear the skirt."

Luke shook his head. "No that's not what I was going to say. Have you seen or heard from Jess?"

Rory froze, but didn't let her face show it. "Uh you mean Jess Gilmore?"

"What other Jess do you and I both know?"

"I don't know just checking." Rory could feel her heart start to beat again. "Why?"

"Because him and Lorelai aren't downstairs which is unusual, I was just wondering if you knew why."

Rory let out a short sarcastic laugh. "Oh yea Uncle Luke I forgot, I have a copy of his daily planner cause you know I'm his keeper and all."

Rory turned back to the bathroom and Luke headed back to the diner, but he again stopped and looked back into the apartment. "But you still can't wear the skirt." He yelled to Rory.

"Whatever." Rory yelled from the bathroom.

Satisfied Luke finally made his way back down to the diner.

Rory stood in the bathroom looking at herself in the mirror. What was happening to her, she swore to herself that she would never fall for another guy. She stared at herself and wondered 'could I really be falling for him?'

Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you

Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you

It's inevitable, it's the fact that we're gonna get down to it

So tell me

Why can't I breath whenever I think about you

Gilmore Residence

"Jess, oh Jess how could you not have waken me up? It's past twelve, we still need to go to Luke's" Lorelai said as she slowly descended down the stairs. "Jess where are you?" Lorelai stopped in the livingroom to find it empty. "You better not be out somewhere reading a stupid book, cause then I'd have to kill y- oh hey baby!" Lorelai said with a smile as she entered the kitchen.

Jess smiled back at her and sat down with a cup of coffee and a donut. "Who you gonna have to kill?"

"You!"

"Why?" Jess said before taking a large bite out of his donut.

"Because you went to Luke's without me! How could you!"

"Maybe I could take that second coffee....I do feel like I could use it." Jess said staring at the microwave. "And you know what I don't think this one donut is going to be enough either."

"What you got me some? Where, where is it? Tell me, tell me!" Lorelai followed his eyes to the microwave. "Yes!" She ran to the microwave and opened it to find a mug of warm coffee and a donut. She took a bite of the donut and a sip of the coffee then turned around to face Jess. "Mmm...thank you!"

Jess just stared at his mom. "Hey mom you know what, on the way back from Luke's I saw these very nice looking men in white coats, don't be scared of them, love them, find them."

Lorelai gave him a dirty look, then sat next to him at the table. "And what is that supposed to mean?"

Jess shook his head. "Well I guess their building a mental hospital somewhere and they've sent scouts out to look for patients. You could be their first." Jess grinned at his mom.

"Oh maybe I should go ahead and kill you, you're not supposed to be mean to your mother like that." Lorelai took another bite out of her donut. "Anyway when did you go?"

"I just got back, but Luke wasn't there and Caesar wouldn't tell me where he was."

"Hmm that's weird, but oh well at least he made the coffee before he left off to Never, Never Land."

Jess just shook his head as he finished off his food. "You know mom I'm sure those men are still down the road if you go look really hard. Hey just wear your leopard print raincoat and they'll pick you up." Jess slowly stood up from the table and grinned at his mom. He threw his trash away then walked to the kitchen door and said. "But if you wear the whole outfit they might shoot ya with a tranquilizer dart."

"Come here you little brat!" Lorelai stood up and took off after Jess throughout the house.
