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 am stumped on what to write. To tell you the truth, I just love writing 2 different parts: Dean vs. Jess and Rory and Jess leading up to their relationship. I will find out how to write this though. I just ate too much Twizzlers. I thought you might want to know. I REMEMBERED WHAT I WANTED TO PUT IN HERE. There is this rumor that Jess might show up for the next season. I am not sure b/c I saw it at like or something. But, in my world, where everything is perfect and there is no war, it is true.


The Diner:

"Everyone, shh, they are coming, hide!" Rory said after she saw Luke's truck about to pull up to their house. Rory spotted Lane, Dave, Jess, and Caesar hiding as well.

"Well, not everyone, employees actually don't want to make Luke suspicious," Rory stated, giggling.

Lorelei barged open the diner door and said, "I wonder where everyone in town could be?" in an obvious voice.

"What are you talking about Lore….?" Luke started, was then interrupted with the town jumping up screaming, "SURPRISE!"

"Jeez, what is going on?" Luke was startled.

"We wanted to surprise you Uncle Luke!" Jess said in a boyish fashion.

"We can't fit a party in here, to the town square!" Miss Patty shouted.

Lorelei, Luke, Jess, and Rory all wore a confused look.

"What? Did you guys plan over my planning?" Rory asked.

"Maybe…" Babette said, moving with the wave of the crowd to go outside.

"Hey, I planned just this, the rest I hold nothing for," Rory said, knowing what this town can do.


Town Square:

In the town square, there was a huge banner that said, "Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Danes," a dance floor, Dave and Lane's band, a DJ table, tables scattered around, and one long table full of food.

"What is this, a second reception?" Luke asked.

"It's more like a new town event," Taylor said, adding excitedly, "that you, Luke, have to get into."

"What?" Lorelei was bewildered.

"Well, it took some tugging, but we got Taylor to call your wedding week a new town event. We like to think of it as the Uniting of the King and Queen of Stars Hollow," Patty exclaimed.

"What?" Luke, Lorelei, Jess, and Rory all said. All amazed at what a big deal this was becoming.

"You two are so special to the town that you deserve to be a town event," Babette tried explaining.

"You mean I have to actually go to town events!" Luke yelled.

"No, just this one," Lorelei liked the idea of being the queen of Stars Hollow.

"Wait, does that make me a princess?" Rory asked.

"Technically speaking, yes." Jess answered for her.

"Then away with you, Jess, bring on Prince William!" Rory exclaimed.

"That's my girl!" Lorelei exclaimed.

"Ha Ha, you are so funny." Jess exclaimed sarcastically.

"I wouldn't be talking Mr. I-mastered-saying-huh-1,000-times-a-day." Rory responded back.

"Wow, good comeback!" Jess exclaimed.

"Seriously, you two fight so cute!" Lorelei exclaimed.

"Stopping, now." Jess said.

"Ooo, music, dance now!" Rory said, dragging Jess to the dance floor.

"Hey, I rather be cute…" Jess trailed off as Rory dragged him.

"They are a cute couple." Luke said, getting out of his trance that he was actually at a town event.

"I wonder how long it will be until they get married." Lorelei stated.

"I rather not," Luke responded.

"And why not."

"Think of what we did on our honeymoon." Luke responded."

"Oh, yea" Lorelei grinned. Two seconds later, he face grew to disgust, "Ew, ew, ew."

"There you go…" Luke said.

"Getting off this subject, Luke you want to dance?" Lorelei asked.

"No." Luke said coldly.

"Mean Luke, getting tired of me already?" Lorelei asked.

"No, I love you, I just don't want to dance."

"Come on, you must!"

"No I don't"

"Yes you do, it's our party!"

Just as Lorelei said that, Lane came on the microphone from the DJ set saying, "Will Luke and Lorelei get out here on the dance floor?"

"See, I told you." Lorelei said, dragging a cranky Luke onto the dance floor.

"I told you that you shouldn't get used to it." Luke said.

"Yea, well sue me, I'm addicted to Luke."

A slow song turned on. Right now, use your imagination what song, I really don't feel like looking for a cool song.

"Where have you been? By Reel Big Fish." Jess whispered to Rory.

"What?"

"Another one of the list of songs."

"I love you, Jess." Rory stated.

"Because I am such a thoughtful sweet guy?" Jess said as he batted his eyelashes.

"Yes, and because you know how to make me happy."

Jess raised his eyebrows, "Dirty."

"Not in that way, well yea, in that way, but in more ways. Gosh, Jess!" Rory smiled.

"I love you, too."

"Oh, and keep up with the songs, I am keeping track!" Rory giggled into Jess's neck.

"That's my Rory!"

"Princess Rory, the royal highness, to you!" Rory demanded.

"This hierarchy is going to your head." Jess said as Rory's head went back to resting on Jess's shoulder.

"Lane, I am not going to dance, that is not part of my image," Dave said as Lane was trying her hardest to get him to move toward the dance floor.

"Come on, we are a couple, you love me, I love you, its what we do!" Lane exclaimed, trying to push him.

"Yea, Lane, I am in a rock band, its just not my images, its not my thang." Dave said, holding his ground.

"Your thang? Come on, Jess is dancing!" Lane said, now trying to pull him over.

"Yea, but he isn't in a rock band."

"He does have a bigger ego than you and a worse image that will be caught dead dancing here."

"Yea, but he is more desperate than I am. He is trying to prove his 'new image,' I don't have to do that, because you love my old image and trust me." Dave said, proving his point.

"Fine, but you will dance the next slow dance. You are lucky that this one is almost over and I have to get back to the DJ table."

"And for my good looks." Dave said walking off, realizing that that could be confusing, "I am lucky for that, also." He added.

"Sure, whatever you think…"

"Have I filled my dancing quota yet?" Jess asked as the song ended.

"For now," Rory replied, moving toward the food table. "How do you think Luke and mom did not see this?" She gestured toward the town square.

"They are blind!" Jess replied, getting two plates.

"How do you think we didn't know about this?"

"We are too in love with each other, just everything else doesn't matter," Jess smirked.

"How long have you been thinking that one up?"

"Since Miss Patty brought us out here."

"So, we just get home and you guys leave tomorrow!" Lorelei exclaimed, coming up to Jess and Rory at the food table.

"Yupp, we had too much of you Lorelei," Jess said sarcastically.

"And, silly me, here thought you quit that whole sarcasm deal!" Lorelei exclaimed.

"You can't change the boy that much!" Rory said.

"So, I think we need more than Luke's truck tomorrow to bring all the stuff!" Lorelei exclaimed.

"Yea, well, we will take Jess's car also."

"Good idea! So, are you guys all packed and ready? Do you have your roommate information and your buildings and everything?" Lorelei asked.

"Why are you talking to us so much? Why are you buying time?" Rory asked.

"Trying to get the image of Kirk dancing a bit too much with Lulu out of my head." Lorelei answered pointing towards the dance floor.

"We are pretty much all packed, we were going to do last minute packing this afternoon," Jess answered.

"We are luckily in the same building. Some how I got Paris again as my roommate, but Jess never told me his." Rory said.

"That is because they never told me yet." Jess added.

"That is weird, aren't they supposed to tell you ahead of time?" Lorelei asked.

"Yea, but they didn't tell me when I was a freshman." Rory exclaimed.

"I am just glad that it can't be Logan. Hopefully. Cause he is in that rich building. Shit, what if Logan paid them off so he could be my roommate and some how get me kicked out by being annoying when I am studying!" Jess exclaimed, sarcastically, but not really.

"Haha, there is no way you will get Logan as a roommate," Rory stated.

"And how are you so sure of that?" Jess asked, suspicious.

"Because, he always rooms with his rich friends so they can have poker games."

"Okay, makes sense…so, who are some of you Yale friends?"

"Other than Paris and Logan, there weren't really much. You met Doyle. There was Marty." Rory said as she and Jess sat down at a table with food and Lorelei followed.

"Naked guy?" Lorelei asked.

"Do I want to know?" Jess asked, right before he took a big bite out of a burger. The theme of the food was coffee items (Coffee, coffee cake, biscotti, doughnuts, and coffee ice cream) and diner items (burgers, pancakes, waffles, eggs).

"Nothing important. Party, he got drunk, found him passed out, naked, in the hallway our room was located on." Rory explained in-between bites of a doughnut. "All this talk about Yale reminded me, we have to go to Friday Night Dinner tonight." Rory exclaimed.

"Haha, very funny, but see, they still think I am on my honeymoon with Luke," Lorelei laughed.

"You are lucky that today is your holiday, because I will not make you go…" Rory started.

"Don't use that 'I will be very disappointed if you leave me to go, all alone, by my lonesome' speech" Lorelei said in a mocking voice. "It is not going to work this time!"

"Darn, I tried," Rory said, then slowly started smiling 'towards Jess.

"No," Jess sternly said and went back to his food.

"Jess, you never really met them after you came back."

"No." Jess smirked and kept on eating.

"What can I do to make you go?" Rory asked.

Jess slowly looked up and popped one eyebrow up and smirked.

"Ew, mother is sitting right here!" Lorelei announced.

"I didn't say anything else, you do not know what I am thinking." Jess announced.

"What are you thinking Jess?" Rory asked.

"Rory, your mother is sitting right there!" Jess said, motioning towards her.


Outside the Gilmore Door:

"Okay, so they know we are back together, but we haven't told them the legists, yet. They are pissed that I am not with Logan anymore," Rory told Jess nervously as she fixed his Jacket.

"Rory?" Jess asked, calmly with a smirk on his face.

"What?" Rory asked.

"I love you, don't worry. Nothing bad can happen. Okay, that was a complete lie, but I won't let anything bad happen," he soothed.

"You are just perfect today!" Rory said, grabbing his hand.

"Thank you," Jess said, just as Emily opened the door.

"Hey, grandma, you remember Jess." Rory said, coming in, hugging her, then going back to take Jess's hand.

"Of course. Glad to finally meet you." Emily stated, coldly.

"Well, it has been a hectic summer, as you know with the wedding and my enrollment obligations to Yale." Jess yammered. Reminding himself to later brag to Rory about his polite language and his enrollment to Yale.

"Rory didn't tell us that you were going to Yale," Emily stated, with a slight satisfaction in her voice.

"We didn't have enough time to speak of Jess. As he said, it has been a hectic summer." Rory said smiling that she got Jess to be here.

"Oh, how rude of me! I didn't invite you in. Would you like a drink?" Emily said, leading them towards the drink cart.

"Uh, water, please." Jess said. Knowing that his selection could be analyzes highly by Emily, so he safely chose the plain drink of water.

"How quaint!" Emily smiled, "And you, Rory? Wine?"

"No, may I have just some soda please?" Rory asked, still holding Jess's hand, squeezing it out of nervousness.

Just as Emily left to get the drinks, Jess said, "Rory, calm down, you are breaking my hand. Nothing bad is going to happen. I am not going to steel some of their stuff!" Jess raised an eyebrow.

"Huh?" Rory was very confused.

"I believe it was Luke who told me what Logan did." Jess smiled.

"Oh, yea, but they love Logan." Rory said.

"And they will learn to love me." Jess stated, in a hopeful tone.

"Here is your water, Jess. And your soda, Rory." Emily handed them their drinks.

"Where is grandpa?" Rory asked.

"He said he would be out in a minute. He is in his study, on a call." Emily frowned. "Anyways, you said you were going to Yale? And with obligations?"

"Yes, I am apart of the crew team there." Jess said, spotting Rory giggle at that, still.

"Oh, that is a prestigious sport. You will make many connections there for later on." Emily stated.

"I am sure of that." Jess stated. Trying so hard not to spit anything out towards Emily.

"Rory never really got into how you came back. I would love to know." Emily said matter-of-factly."

"Not without me here you won't!" Richard boomed from his way there from the study. He stopped at the drink cart to grab a drink. "Hello, Jess. I didn't know you were coming!" Richard said as Jess stood up and shook Richard's hand.

"I decided that Rory might want some company on the drive over, Mr. Gilmore," Jess said, carefully choosing his words, as he sat back down.

"Good to hear that you care so much for our Rory. So what did I miss? Luckily not the story on how they got back together, because I must say I am curious myself."

"Well, Jess is going to Yale, and he is on the crew team." Emily responded.

"Wow, I would never think so!" Richard exclaimed, clearly a loss for words. "And the crew team! You know, I was on the crew team when I went to Yale!"

"Grandpa? No!" Rory exclaimed, surprised.

"Yes, Rory, I was. Had a very strong stroke. It is a great sport. You know, you will make many connections through this team." Richard said.

"Yes, Emily has already told me." Jess said.

"Okay, now, lets here this story of you two." Emily said, clapping her hands together.

"Well…" Rory started, "whose side do you want to hear the beginning from?" she asked.

"I would take Rory's, its coincidental." Jess stated, "And I will promise to tell you mine during the story." Jess wasn't really all for telling the story, but he wanted Rory's grandparents to like him and gain trust towards him. He knew that this would be the only way, and the fastest. He was lucky that whenever he thought of this story, everything else in the world just dissolves.

"Well, I guess we will start with yours, Rory." Richard stated.

"Okay, I was asleep. And had this huge dream: I was married to a guy named Jake, I believe. Luke and Lorelei were married. My friend Lane, well her ex-boyfriend Dave came back and they were married…." Rory explained the rest of her dream. "Jess you go on from here."

"So, that same night, I came up to her dorm, a bit nervous, and knocked on the door." Jess said.

After Rory took a drink of her soda, she added, "Paris had just woken me up because I was restlessly sleeping and she could hear it from her room or something. She isn't normal." Rory laughed.

"Well, she answered the door, I guess losing a game of who-should-answer-the-door with Paris, and saw me, standing there!"

"I had to catch my breath before I said anything…" Rory said, just as the maid walked in.

"Dinner is ready." She announced.

"Well, I guess the story can wait, we can leave you on a cliff hanger," Rory stated.

"Nonsense! You are telling the rest of the story at dinner!" Emily stated, clearly starting to get into it.

"Grandma, this is a very long story. Believe me, I would love to tell you the story, but it will have to be broken up into parts." Rory said, as her and Jess followed Richard and Emily into the dining room.

"You are lucky that when I tell this story, I don't care who is listening." Jess whispered to Rory on their way into the dining room.

"Round 2 of the story?" Rory said aloud to Jess.

"Ah, the lost days!" Jess joked as they took their seats.

"The lost days?" Emily asked.

"Now, you don't want us to spoil the story!" Jess mocked the culture he was in. Rory knew that he wasn't being serious, but he has been acting like that all night, so it seemed that he changed to this way in the eyes of her grandparents.

"So, where did I leave off, oh yes, I opened the door, to see Jess there, and I had to catch my breath," Rory started.

"Ditto." Jess stated taking a bite of his food.

"And he just came out and said…" Rory started.

"Oh, yea, about this, remember I haven't seen Rory in like a year. Wait, there seriously isn't a way of covering this up to make me not seem like an idiot. Well, you may go on Rory." Jess interrupted.

"He said that he loved me and he couldn't live with out me." Rory said and then Richard and Emily laughed hysterically. Jess of course blushed, but just kept thinking that he has Rory now, so it had to have worked.

"Wait, you are serious?" Emily said, halting her husband's and her own laughter, after Rory and Jess haven't laughed.

"Uh, yes." Jess answered.

"That was just desperate." Emily announced.

"I know, ma'am." Jess frowned.

"Well, it worked out for him, he did get the girl!" Richard spoke up.

Rory and Jess then took turns telling the story all through dinner and dessert.

"So, the next Friday, I will pick up at going to Lane and finding another surprise!" Rory said.

"What a great cliff hanger!" Jess whispered to Rory as everyone got up.

"Jess, feel free to come also next time. We will have the whole gang! Luke, Lorelei, and you two!" Emily announced.

Jess couldn't help but laugh as she said Luke's name, and Rory elbowed him. "I will be happy to come, but does Luke know he is coming?" Jess asked.

"He should! He is part of the family now." Richard said.

"Okay, all four of us will come next week. Thank you for dinner it was delicious." Jess said gracefully.

"Oh, it was a delight!" Emily declared.

Jess and Rory walked outside. "So, that was fun!" Jess said, "Now you have to keep your end of the deal up!"

"Fine," Rory said, in a sad tone, "I can't believe I am letting you choose the movie tonight."

"And guess what it is!" Jess said, happily, after he helped Rory into the car, and then went to the driver's seat.

"What? Dodge ball." Rory said, with absolutely no enthusiasm.

"No. Empire Records!" Jess said happily, acting like a 5 year old.

"Jess, thank you so much for tonight." Rory said seriously.

"Yea, I am going next week, and that is it." Jess said.

"I know." Rory said.

"I just can't wait to see Luke's face when we tell him he is wired into going to these dinners from now on!" Jess smiled.

A/N: So, I realized that my Jess, is nothing like Jess. But w/e too late now! I knew I had to do a Friday night dinner, so here it was! How did you like it?
