"Maybe you're right! But, I really am not ready to talk about this." Jess said calmly.
"YOU'RE not ready to talk about what?"
"Our relationship."
"Of course." Rory glared at him.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means that I'm tired of you never wanting to talk to me about anything!" she exclaimed.
"That's not true."
"Oh, really? Whenever we were together I would ask you things and you would give me a generic answer. And when I would get angry you would give me one of your amazing, heart melting, smiles, and all would be forgiven. Well, you know what, Jess? I'm not that girl anymore."
"You think my smile is amazing?" Jess asked.
"Ugh! You'll never change!"
"Would you want me to?"
Rory glanced over at him and pursed her lips, studying his face.
Rory's POV:
No! I love you just the way you are. You're perfect for me! I love you, Jess!
At least that's what she wanted to say.
Instead she said nothing.
Jess shook his head and sighed, "The silent treatment. Harsh…but effective."
Back to the crowd…"One, two, three, four I declare a thumb war! Five, six, seven, eight this will be a piece of cake!" Lorelai sat in her chair playing thumb war with Michel.
He had showed up to enter the car contest but had been to late.
By the time he arrived Rory and Jess were already in the car.
Lorelai had spotted him, and with the promise of a big meringue cookie, had convinced him to stay and keep her company.
"One, two, three! I win!" Lorelai laughed after pinning Michel's thumb down for three seconds.
"No fair! You have to hold the person's thumb down for ten seconds, not three!" Michel pouted in his thick French accent.
"We're playing American thumb war, you must be thinking of the French version."
"You lie!"
"Meringue cookie." Lorelai hinted.
"Evil woman."
Back at the Diner…
Luke sat watching the silent fight between Rory and Jess.
He picked up his phone and called Lorelai again.
"Yellow, green, and blue." Lorelai's perky voice sounded in his ear.
"Must you answer your phone that way?"
"It's funny." Lorelai said as though it were obvious.
"On what planet?"
"Mine."
"Oh. You mean the one that Bo Bo Bell is the empress of?" Luke rolled his eyes.
"Actually, I overthrew her last week. I'm the empress now. And that's why the way I answer my phone is funny." Lorelai twirled her hair.
"You're ridiculous."
"What an awful way to talk to your empress!"
"I don't live on your planet."
"That is until I send my subjects to abduct you. And then you'll say, 'Take me to your leader.' And they'll bring you to me." Lorelai replied.
"Actually, I think I would say something like, 'Take me away from your leader.' Why am I even talking about you being the queen of an alien planet? I am not having this conversation. Call me when this contest thing is over."
"Ha." Lorelai smiled after she had hung up her phone.
Luke shook his head and sighed, "Gotta love her."
