Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or any of those Characters - Amy Sherman-Palladino does. I do own most of the plot, if it was used on a different fanfic, I am not aware of this
A/N: Wow, so how did you guys like how I took the story. I know, a bit unorthodox, I try. I was staring at a blank screen and couldn't figure out what to write, until I thought, how funny would it be if I all just have it be a dream. So I did. Hope no one wants to kill me right about now.
Just in case there is any confusion, this takes place just after How Many Kropogs to Cape Cod?, the newest episode when I started writing this.
After a bit too deep of a kiss in Jess's opinion and a promise to call, Rory said goodbye to Logan and they were on their way to Stars Hollow. "Did you call Luke?" Rory asked.
"I plan to" Jess replied
"Take my cell, do it now, or he will be mad and not give you a place to stay."
"Fine, do you have it programmed in here or do you know the number or something?" jess asked.
"Speed dial 3"
"That is just not healthy."
At Luke's:
The phone started ringing and Luke picked up. "Luke's"
Jess cringed when we heard the familiar sound of his uncle. "Uh, Hey, its Jess"
"JESS!" Luke exclaimed a bit to loudly.
"That's Jess, Jess is on the phone. Jess called you?" Lorelei was surprised.
Luke nodded, Lorelei grabbed for Luke's hand.
"So, uh, Luke, can I stay at your apartment for some time?"
"How long?"
"Very" Jess said as he gazed at Rory and smiled.
"Jess, I thought we found out that this doesn't work. Why will you do this to me again?"
"If it changes anything, it will just be until school starts next semester."
"School starts?"
"Oh, yea, I got my high school diploma and got into Yale. I have the money for my amazing job at this magazine. If you would like, it can just be until I find a place of my own."
"Wow" Luke was astonished. Jess was actually doing something with his life.
"You don't have to find your own place." Luke said, then quickly added "Yet."
Jess grinned "Thanks Luke, I'm coming with Rory right now."
"Rory?" Luke now got over protected.
Lorelei's ears perked when she heard her daughter's name. "RORY? What did he do to Rory?"
"Tell Lorelei that I just stopped by last night and she said I could crash in dorm, on her couch, and she will take me to Stars Hollow today with her" Jess said and Luke repeated to Lorelei. Lorelei was surprised at her daughter's actions. Luke said goodbye and hung up the phone.
"Now that was un-expecting," Luke said.
"Your telling me, but I think you said Jess to loudly and caught Miss Patty's attention because she just told Babette just what you repeated to me of what Jess said."
"What?" Luke was confused.
"You said Jess loud enough for Miss Patty to hear over at her table. She started to listen to the conversation. What you just said to me about how Jess was with Rory is now going around town by Miss Patty and Babette speaking abilities."
"Shit, now we are in for it." Luke saw the mob of Stars Hollowians running into the diner. "Wait, there is a good side to this" he saw Taylor go nuts. Taylor just started boxing all his merchandise that was outside both his Ice Cream Shoppe and Doose's Market. "This is going to be funnier than I thought" Luke said with a smirk.
"Now, Luke, what did I tell you about other people's misery?"
"Take pictures" Luke said as he ran to get his camera.
"Just like Mom and Grandma" Lorelei smirked.
Rory and Jess drive into Stars Hollow. As the drive, people are staring at them, shaking their heads. "News here is traveling faster than normal." Rory said. All Jess could do is nod in agreement.
"Ok, let's get to Luke's" Rory said. They got out of the car and Jess got his stuff from the trunk who kept Rory's laundry company.
"So, Rory, do you want to hang out and get dinner tonight?" Jess asked afraid of what he was getting himself into moving back to this town.
"Its Friday night, I still have those dinners with my grandparents."
"Good Luck"
"Thank you"
"What about after dinner? Do you want to see a movie or something?" Jess was desperate to find any chance for any amount of time with Rory.
"I would love to, but I have a date with Logan actually."
"They why did you plan to come to Stars Hollow today."
"My mom said she had something to tell me important, and coincidentally Lane has something to tell me also. Both insisted for me to come in person."
"Wow, Lucky I came to your doorstep last night, huh."
"Yup." Jess seems different. Not being overly sarcastic, just being, well, polite. Maybe Jess is more mature. He is going to Yale. But, he still looks great. If even possible, more amazing. What are you thinking Rory, you have a boyfriend, one who you recently took things more seriously with. "So are you ready?" Rory noticed that Jess stopped and took a breath before opening the door.
"Not very, but the best I can be right now." Jess smirked.
No, he didn't. Uh, I just love that smirk. How I missed that smirk. How did I live without him? Rory's head was spinning. "Maybe I can reschedule my date with Logan tonight. I did drive all the way here already. I don't feel like driving it again." Rory said as they walked to the counter.
Rory sat down next to her mother. "Ok are they going to do the macho hand shake or awkward hug?" Lorelei asked as Luke was still not out.
"Ten bucks on macho hand shake" Rory said. Jess overheard this conversation and winked at Rory, letting her know that he would win her 10 dollars.
"Its on" Lorelei said and shook Rory's hand. "LUUUKE"
"No more coffee" Luke screamed from the back.
"No, Luke, They are here."
"Oh" Luke said walking towards the counter.
Jess stretched his hand out for a macho handshake and Luke took it.
"NOT FAIR" Lorelei screamed having Luke look at her in confusment. "You had help"
"Hey, we didn't set any rules"
"Man" Lorelei got 10 dollars out of her wallet
"Yes, I'm 10 dollars richer" Rory took the 10 dollars.
