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: I think you are right literaiever, I am going to add something to fix that in this chapter. Other than that, just read on. Oh, and this chapter is again dedicated to my friend Mat! Oh yea, and if this story had a theme song, it would be "It's all for you," By Sister Hazel, look up the lyrics and see why.

Later that night, Luke came home and went up to his and Lorelei's bedroom. Lorelei was in bed, but not asleep, just staring blankly at her ceiling.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I am not comfortable with her telling me everything. I still feel she is my little innocent Rory who thought boys were icky."

"This is the whole Jess and Rory thing?"

"Yea, how can I say I knew? I did know, but I am not okay with it. They barely know each other. They recently re-met like less than a week ago."

"I don't think he is going to hurt her."

"Neither do I, I am just afraid they are going too fast."

"Why don't you talk to her about it?"

"Luke, Luke, Luke," Lorelei said as she shook her head, "very funny."

"Ok, or not."

"We will figure it out."

"Talking to her might help though."

"Maybe."


Down in Rory's Room:

Rory was lying on her bed reading. She heard a tap and her window and went to open it.

"I couldn't stand not seeing you," Jess said through the window.

"Jess, I love you so much." Rory said, moving away allowing Jess to come in.

"I know," he smirked.

" 'O Romeo, Romeo, where fore art thou Romeo?'"

"She speaks, O, speak again, bright angel, for though art as glorious to this night."

"Ok, enough Shakespeare for right now."

"Thank you."

"So, that was very un-Jess of you."

"I've learnt to express my love."

"Ok, Romeo."

Jess leaned in and kissed Rory. Rory stepped back about 5 minutes later, "Wait, we cannot do this now."

"I know," Jess said kissing her again.

"You have to get back to the diner."

"Unfortunately, come here." He gave her a good-bye kiss and while he was climbing out the window he added, "I love you."

"I love you, too."


The next morning:

Rory woke up with a tap at her window. She got up to open it saying, "Jess, you really have to start a hobby or something." She opened and saw Logan standing there, "You really cannot be serious."

"Rory just let me explain."

"Explain what? Why you are such a jerk?"

"Rory, I just can't get over you. You were my first girlfriend. You do not know how much I gave up for you."

"No, Logan, I do not want to hear it." She said, closing the window, wishing Jess was there to beat him up.

Logan put his arm up to stop the closing of the window. "Rory, just let me explain."

"No, Logan," Rory screamed.

That got Luke downstairs, he didn't open up that morning because Jess was there.

"Rory."

"Logan, just leave," Rory said as Luke stormed into the room.

"What is going on?" Luke boomed.

"Nothing Luke, everything is fine, Logan was just leaving," Rory said, as she closed the window, "I am going to get dressed and go to the diner," Rory said like nothing just happened.

Luke just stood there, confused, "Ok," he walked out of the room.

Rory got dressed and went outside to walk to the diner. Right when she got off the porch, Logan bombarded her.

"Rory, I really didn't mean to hurt you or push you away," Logan said.

"Well too bad, you did," Rory replied looking straight.

"I just can't take not seeing you."

"Sure you can't. I wouldn't mind being your friend if you didn't pull that whole ultimatum on Jess."

"I thought it would be easier on me."

"I just don't want to hear it." Rory said as they reached the diner.

Jess looked up and saw Rory there yelling at Logan, "Dave I am stepping out side for 5 minutes." Jess ran outside, "Rory, is everything alright."

"Logan wants to explain himself, I just don't want to hear it."

"Rory, just give me 5 minutes." Logan demanded.

"I already did, just leave." Logan stared at Rory as Jess put his hand on her back and stayed behind her as they walked into the diner.

Jess left with, "I better not see you hurt her at all."

Logan never took his eyes at her because he knew that it was going to be his last time.

"So you handled that well," Jess said.

"I need coffee."

"I bet," he said handing her coffee.

"So not waking up with you beside me is not good."

"Really, cause I feel the same way."

"Coffee will be good with pancakes."

"Ok," Jess said as he called the order to Cesar, "So, no classes today?"

"Nope, but I do have to finish studying for finals."

"Just look over your notes and stuff, you already did the heavy studying last week."

"Good point. Hey, are you going to buy my basket?"

"Wait, that is today?" Jess joked.

"Funny. Are you going to?"

"I don't know, it matter what's in the basket."

"Jess!"

"The only town event I will ever take part of, again."

"Ok, I have to go home and make my basket."

"Bye," Jess leaned over the counter and kissed Rory.


The Gilmore household:

"Rory, turn down your Scissor Sisters," Lorelei yelled

"No, you turn down your Interpol," Rory retaliated.

"We have to choose one."

"Scissor Sisters."

"No, I am the owner of the house, so Interpol."

Rory was too distracted by making her basket perfect to argue, "Fine."

"Yay, I win!"

"Wow, what a victory," Luke chimed in, "I am going to the diner, I will see you two later."

"Bye Luke," Lorelei screamed from the bathroom.

"Bye Luke," Rory screamed from the kitchen. The kitchen was a mess from all the things that Rory made for her basket, well, more like opened for her basket. Rory went up to yell to her mother in the bathroom, taking a shower, "I am going out now, okay?"

"Did you leave my basket stuffers?"

"Yea, I also bought you a basket."

"Good girl, now tell Luke to make me a burger for after we are done with the bidding because neither of us will eat this."

"Okay, bye mom."

"Say hi to Jess for me."

"Funny, how do you know I am going over there."

"You are going to tell Luke to make me a burger."

"Fine, bye mom, again."

"Bye."


Diner:

Rory walked in. "Luke, Mom wants you to make a burger because what is in the basket, neither of you two will eat."

"Two pop tarts and a slim jim?" Luke asked.

"Yup."

"Okay," Luke looked nervous.

"She is definitely going to say yes, you do not have to worry," Rory tried to comfort him.

"Yea."

Jess then walked out of the stock room and saw Rory. His face lit up, "Can I take my break now?" He asked Luke.

"Yea, just come back after the auction and you guys eat."

"Don't worry Luke, relax." Jess said, as he grabbed Rory's hand and took her outside.

"Whoa, where are we going?" Rory asked as Jess dragged her off.

"For a walk," Jess said like she should already know.

"Jess?"

"I made you a car."

"Very funny," she noticed he was making fun of Dean.

"We are getting our spot for the auction."

"Getting away from the people?"

"Yes, I cannot stand it anymore."

Rory laughed, "You are doing well though."

"Thank you, so what did you make me?"

"It's a surprise."

"Fine, so Luke is really worked up about this proposal."

"Many do get worked up before they pop the question."

"I bet."

By then, Rory and Jess were just walking aimlessly around the town. Until the auction, they talked about nothing and everything, like normal.


The Auction:

"Sold for 30 dollars, next up we have this elegant Doose's market basket with a bandana interior."

"That's mine." Rory said.

"He is getting better at describing the baskets," Lorelei said.

"I know, but he should just say whose they are and save confusion."

"Ah, yes, the Appleman- Baker confusion of 2004."

"How could anyone forget that?"

"So, we will start the bidding at 10 dollars," Taylor said.

"He is also getting the prices right this year," Rory added.

"10 dollars," Jess raised his hand.

"Do I hear 15 Dollars?" Taylor asked the crowd.

Rory looked around the town square. She was happy that Logan wasn't there, there was no competing bid, and especially that there was no complications.

"Ok 10 dollars going once, 10 dollars going twice, sold for 10 dollars to the dark haired fellow in the back."

A smirk slapped across Jess's face. He was also happy for the same reasons as Rory.

"Up next we have Lorelei's basket."

"Hey, Rory, they used my name," Lorelei yelled to Rory as Rory started to walk off with Jess.

"Its your lucky day," Rory yelled back.

"Luckier than she knows," Jess whispered to Rory as he put his arm around her and guided her to the bridge.

"Wait, let's see how uncomfortable Luke is at bidding this."

"Okay."

"Do I hear 1 dollar?" Taylor asked.

"It is worth more than 5 dollars, Taylor!" Lorelei yelled.

"No, the basket isn't."

"Yet the person who does come with it is definitely worth more," Lorelei argued.

"Fine, do I hear 5 dollars."

"5 dollars," Luke bid.

"I've got 5 dollars, do I hear 10?" Taylor paused, "Okay 5 dollars going once, 5 dollars going twice."

"10 dollars"

"You got to be kidding me," Lorelei exclaimed.

"This isn't good," Jess whispered.

"Uh oh, what is Luke going to do?" Rory asked.

"No way," Luke said turning to see who it was, "You are dead Kirk, bet on Lulu's basket."

"NO," Kirk screamed.

"Withdraw your bid," Luke demanded as he stomped towards Kirk.

"NO,"

"KIRK"

"This is for buying Old Man Twickham's house."

"You bought that house," Lorelei exclaimed.

"Yea, I was going to talk to you about that and something else over our picnic, I will just let him have it because I do have a bag of fries, a burger, and a salad for yours truly."

"If you let him have it, I have to eat with him."

"Luke, I am willing to bid almost a quarter of a million dollars."

"That is just crazy," Lorelei exclaimed.
