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: Sorry it's been a while…last week I had my final for summer school…which I aced! 98 baby! Sorry, I am still on a natural high about that. Oh, and I realized that I implied that this was the first time that Emily has met Jess, in the last chapter, I didn't meant that. Well, here goes nothing:
"Come on guys, we are at the door." Rory states as she unlocks her door to her new dorm room. Jess and Dave are carrying her couch.
"Damn, is this thing heavy." Dave groans.
"Thanks for the update!" Jess says, sarcastically.
Rory opens the door and leads the way in. "You can drop it right there." She points to a wall. Rory looks into the two attached rooms to see if Paris was there. "Paris is not here yet, we are lucky!" Rory says.
"Thanks, Gilmore. I got here early to see Doyle." Paris says as she walks out of the bathroom, "I could use your friends to help me move my stuff in from my car."
"No." They all say simultaneously.
"Rory, like, oh my gosh, where should I put this stuff?" Lorelei barges in the door talking like a valley girl.
"Doesn't it get old Lorelei?" Luke asked as he carried a television into the amour.
"No," Lorelei says.
"I took that room Rory." Paris points to one of the rooms.
"So, I guess this stuff goes in here." Lorelei says as she brings the bags into the other room.
"Okay, lets get the rest of the stuff," Lane says, as they walk back to the cars.
"So, where is your room, Jess?" Lorelei asks.
"Luckily, his room is right upstairs." Rory answers for him, as Lorelei and Luke also head towards the cars.
"Its not like I will be spending most my time there." Jess smirks.
"With that comment, you will be spending most your time there." Rory laughs as they catch up to bring more stuff inside.
They all then take all Rory's stuff inside, and then start to bring Jess's stuff up.
"So, this is it." Jess states as he opens the door. He looks around an empty common room and walks in.
"I guess my roommate isn't…." Jess starts and then is interrupted by the door opening.
"Marty?" Rory greets as she sees who walked in the door.
"Rory?" Marty says, surprised. "What are you doing in my dorm?" His expression turns to confusion.
"Your roommate is my boyfriend, Jess." Rory responds, holding Jess's arm.
"You know him?" Jess asks.
"Yea, he is one of my friends here." Rory responds.
"Wait, what happened to Logan?" Marty asks.
"Whoa, Rory, it's your naked guy?" Lorelei says as she walks in the door.
"You are one with entrances today!" Jess says, sarcastically. "Wait! Naked guy?" Jess looks at Rory.
"I'll explain later." She says to Jess, and then turns to Marty, "Logan and I broke up."
"This is going to be an interesting year." Jess states, "Which room do you want?"
"Uhh, I'll just take that one." Marty nods towards one of the rooms.
Later that day:
"Okay, so, call me everyday. Don't forget me." Lorelei says as she hugs Rory.
"I will mom."
"Bye Rory, make sure Jess doesn't do anything stupid." Luke says as he gives her an awkward hug.
"I will. Bye Luke."
"Jess" Luke says as he shakes Jess's hand.
"Luke." Jess says in response.
"I'll see you this weekend?" Lane asks, as she hugs her friend.
"Yes, and I'll call you before hand." Rory responds.
"You will have to stop by for our band practice, because we are actually getting better." Dave states, as he steps in his car.
"Okay," Jess says.
Jess and Rory stand there and watch them all drive away. "So, what should we do?" Rory asks, as she leans onto Jess. Jess lets out a sight and lifts one eyebrow and smirks. "Except that." Rory laughs.
"How 'bout you tell me something about my roommate?" Jess puts his arm around Rory and leads her into the dormitory building.
"So, there was this party…"
Later that night, Rory's room:
Both are lying in the bed, and Jess is playing with Rory's hand. "I am going to have to see him tomorrow." He simply says.
Rory, knowing exactly whom he is talking about, answers, "I know." There is then a long silence. "He can't do anything now, you are already here."
"I know."
"Now, onto a lighter subject…" Rory smiles.
"No." Jess grins.
"Jess, come on, I want to see you in spandex again!"
"You and the rest of the world…"
The next day:
"Jess, Jess, Jess, we meet again!" Logan announces as he walks up to Jess.
"Whatever." Jess says in the famous 'jess tone.'
"You still going out with that Rory girl?" Logan asks, like its no big deal.
"Huh. Is this what I am going to have to go through for the rest of the year?" Jess asks.
"I believe so." Logan answers.
"Huh, let me just get prepared." Jess says. He then turns around, and walks away.
"So, that bitch broke your heart also?" Logan screams towards him.
Jess storms up and gets right in his face and says, "Rory is no bitch, and no she didn't break my heart. No one calls Rory a bitch." He then loosens up and walks off. Logan just stares at him with a surprised look. He gathers his things, and walks back to his room, since practice was already over. He finds Marty studying in the common room. He decides he might as well form a relationship with his roommate.
"Hey, Marty." Jess says.
"Hi." Marty responds, and goes back to studying.
Jess thinks to himself, yea, forgot about my lack of social skills and walks back into his room. He changes takes a shower, and finds Marty in the same position.
Lets start with information Rory gave me Jess thinks right before he says, "So, I hate Logan."
"So, I'm not the only one?" Marty says, as he puts down his book.
"Nope." Jess answers.
"I guess he is under the Rory spell." Marty responds.
"Huh," Jess knows this spell very well.
"So, are you the Jess? The one that ran to California?" Marty wanted to know.
Jess let out a long sigh. "The one and only." He hated himself for leaving Rory like that, and truly did not like to think of it anymore.
"Well, congratulations." Marty complemented. Jess furrowed his brow in confusion. "From how she spoke of you, I know that her heart does belong to you."
Well, this guy is…different. Wait, Rory spoke of me to other people? "Huh."
Marty then went back to studying and Jess picked up his book and his mp3 player and drowned into the world that the author wrote and what The Clash was singing.
About 10 minutes later, there was a loud knock at the door. Jess didn't hear it so Marty got up to get it.
"Marty! Hey, where's Jess? I got good news." Rory said, excitedly.
"Uhh, he's right here." Marty moved to let her in.
"Jess!" Rory announced her arrival loud enough for Jess to hear over the headphones. He was startled and jumped out of the fictional world he was visiting.
"Rory!" Jess responded with the same amount of enthusiasm as Rory.
"It's a boy! The baby, it's a boy!" Rory announced.
"Wait, What?" Marty jumped to the wrong conclusion.
"My mother's baby." Rory clarified.
"Wait, I thought Luke decided to be surprised when they first had the option." Jess stated as Rory took a seat next to him.
"My mother got to him I guess."
"Do they have any names?" Marty asked.
"Well, Luke vetoed Lorelei."
"That is your mother," Jess smirked.
"Okay, I got to go, first day at the paper." She gave Jess a quick kiss and ran off. "Bye Marty."
"Bye" Marty said, as he closed the door.
Jess smirked as he watched her go and then went back to his previous position.
Luke's Diner:
"No, no names that was in Disney movies." Luke orders across the counter.
"So I guess Pumba is out of the question." Lorelei says.
Luke just glared at her.
"Okay… Was Finding Nemo a Disney movie?"
Luke glared at her again.
"How about John?" Lorelei asks, seriously.
"I actually like that one." Luke said.
"And his middle name can be Cusak!"
"No, but I do like John."
"Then John it is?"
"John it is." Luke states, kissing Lorelei.
That Friday (Just because if I wrote everything up to Friday, it would be very slow. I want to speed things up in this story and not have many fillers.) In front of the Gilmore Mansion:
"What are you smirking about?" Jess asks as they walk up to the door.
"You have to be un-Jess like for a whole night!" Rory says, excitedly.
"Yea, yea, don't remind me. This is my last one, right?" Jess asks.
"Yea-huh." Rory says, fixing his tie, as headlights hit them and Luke and Lorelei get out of their car. Rory rushes off the stoop to give her mom a hug.
"How was your first week?" Lorelei asks, walking up to the door, arm in arm with Rory.
"I had better." Rory says.
"Enjoy the time you don't have to come here." Luke says to Jess just as Lorelei reluctantly pushes the doorbell.
"Hello." The maid opens the door.
"Yea, hello, we are the unfortunate ones that are related to the Devils of the house that have to have dinner with them." Lorelei says, trying to confuse the new maid.
The maid gives her the furrowed brow.
"I am the granddaughter, that is the daughter, the son-in-law, and…well, he technically isn't related yet."
"Oh, yes, he is, he is the grand-nephew-in-law. Remember, your cousins!" Lorelei makes the discussion a whole lot more awkward.
"Huh, lets see how many words we can describe Jess!" Jess announces his presence.
"Hey, you have to be un-Jess like." Rory scolds.
"I still have time." Jess says.
"Oh, Diane, why haven't you let them come inside yet?" Emily comes to the door.
"Sorry, Mrs. Gilmore. Please come in." The maid moves to the side and allow the four to come in.
"Hi Grandma" Rory says and gives her grandmother a hug.
"Hello Rory. Lorelei, Luke! How was the honeymoon?" Emily asks.
"Relaxing." Lorelei says, trying to be as civilized as possible, but she's Lorelei, and this is her mother. "But the water was way too wet, and the sun was too hot…"
"I still don't understand your humor." Emily says.
"You aren't the only one Emily." Luke announces his presence.
"Oh, hello there Luke." Emily says coldly. This causes Luke's jaw to tense up.
"So, where did we leave off last week?" Rory says, trying to save a very harsh exchange of words.
"If you start without your grandfather here, he will kill me, let me go fetch him." Emily says, bringing them to the sitting area and walking off.
"We have good news!" Lorelei announces when her mother is out of earshot.
"What?" Rory asks.
"We decided to name the baby John Cusak Danes." Lorelei states excitedly.
"We did not agree on the middle name being Cusak." Luke says sternly.
"You will give in." Lorelei says right after her daughter hugs her.
"That is great!" Rory exclaims
"And he can have a theme song. That Fallout Boy Song, Honorable Mention." Jess says.
Rory laughs, knowing it and Luke and Lorelei look at him confused.
"I will play it for you guys later." Rory says.
Richard and Emily then enter the room. Rory greets her grandfather with a hug, and then resumes her seat next to Jess. Richard and Lorelei exchange their greetings, as well as Luke and Jess.
"Okay, so where did we leave off last week?" Richard asks as he takes his drink and everyone else's. "Ah yes, you came to her dorm and told her your timeless love for her." Richard takes a seat.
Luke and Lorelei chuckle silently, knowing how much this should be chewing Jess up inside.
"Yes, well, after that we sat down and talked for a little bit. I told Rory how I was going to Yale and about Rowing, sir." Jess says.
"Wait, how did Rory react to this?" Emily asks, clearly lost.
"I said that it was bad timing and that I had a boyfriend and that we should just be friends…" Rory states. They then go on telling the story up to the phone call to Luke, where Luke adds some information into the story. They then move into the dining room. Where they keep going on with the story. They got up to when Logan showed up at Rory's house right after they visited Lane's around the appetizers. Since they were skipping through stuff, they didn't mention the meetings before with Logan. "…and then Logan surprised me…" Rory said, then feel silent, knowing that bringing him up in the story will bring up a disappointment her grandparents had for her. Underneath the table, she felt Jess's knee brush against hers, and then she knew nothing else mattered. "Well, he ruined a moment…" Rory went on, and smiled at Jess.
Jess picks up when Rory was at her grandparents and Jess and Logan were at Luke's. "So, when Dean walked in and started yelling at me, I decided to tease him, well, just because its fun and I just flat out don't like that guy..." Jess said, still surprised he was able to express himself like that. He then describes the whole Dean throwing a punch inside and outside the diner. Then at dessert, Luke and Lorelei begin the ending with "…so I told Luke everything and we were both so wrapped up into the story that we failed to realize Logan stepped in right when I started."
"That is when it all happened." Luke said.
"So, rest of the story next week?" Lorelei said looking at Luke's watch.
"What? We haven't finished dessert! And you are at the end of the story." Emily whines.
"Oh fine." Lorelei sits back down. "Logan got mad, we tried to stop him, he walks outside, yells at Rory, and pushes her away. Jess stands up for her. Those three fight, the whole town watches. Rory confesses that she is still in love with Jess. They kiss, the end." She finishes in one breath. Everyone was just staring blankly at Lorelei as she gasps for air at the end.
"Wow." Jess says, "Just…wow."
"I know, I am remarkable." Lorelei responds.
"I don't think that is the right word for what you are." Rory says.
They finish eating and Emily and Richard walk everyone to the door. "Well, it was great having you again Jess. Feel free to come anytime." Richard says, as he shakes his hand.
"That would be great, Richard, but I will have a regatta next Friday…" Jess starts.
"Well, I just might come to one of those." Richard says.
Jess just gets wide-eyed and freezes. He finds a way to sputter the words, "That…would..be…great" out of politeness, meanwhile Luke, Lorelei, and Rory are all trying to hold back laughing.
Lorelei decides to make this even more awkward by bringing up an idea of her own, "Why don't we all go next week instead of dinner?"
"That would be wonderful!" Emily states as Richard nods along. Lorelei, Luke, and Rory are again, trying their best to hold out the laughter.
"Yea-huh" Jess says as they all exit the house and Emily and Richard close the door. "Thanks a lot, Lorelei" Jess spits out.
"Hey, I need to find my own entertainment, there is nothing on TV these days." Lorelei says.
"I cannot wait. I seriously was never so excited for anything like I am now." Luke says, smiling.
"Thanks Luke, you know you will always have family support." Jess says sarcastically, unlocking his car.
"Well, we will see you at the diner?" Lorelei asks.
"Yea." Rory answers getting into the car.
California: Not! Just kidding! Guess where this scene is going to be? Just guess? You're right! The Diner! Wow, I feel like I am in some kids show:
"Luke, coffee, now." Lorelei says, plopping down on a stool.
"No, maybe you forgot about why your stomach is abnormally shaped." Luke said, as he got behind the counter.
"That is no way to treat your wife! Your pregnant wife 1/3 way though her maternity."A/n: not sure if that is how you would put it Lorelei said.
About 10 minutes later, Jess and Rory are leaning onto the glass of Luke's making-out. "Ugh, will you look at that! How disgusting!" Lorelei announces, eating a piece of pie.
"I agree with you there." Luke says, shielding his eyes.
"Someone has to stop that," Lorelei says, reaching for her shoe.
"I think you aren't going to be that one," Luke says, nodding out the window, seeing Dean glare at them.
"I don't know, Jess told Dean to stay out of his and Rory's life." Lorelei said.
"Wait, when did this happen?"
"I think we were on our honeymoon."
"Oh."
"Okay, ten bucks he doesn't stop them." Lorelei announces.
"You are on." Luke says, as he sits next to Lorelei, looking out the window.
Dean starts to walk up to Jess and Rory, Luke says, "hey, I am getting 10 bucks today!" Dean then hesitates, and then turns around. Lorelei says, "No, I am." Dean then stops, dead in his tracks, and then starts walking towards them again. He stops, and turns around, again. He does this, another time. "Jeeze, just make up your mind!" Luke says out of anger. "Do you know what! I call the bet off, I can't watch this anymore!" Lorelei says as she throws her shoe at the spot on the window where Jess and Rory were. They look up angrily, and walk in. "Can you get my shoe while you two are separated?" Lorelei asks.
"You ruined my entertainment!" Luke said.
"You found us making-out entertainment Luke? That is just gross." Jess says.
"No, look." He points out the window to Dean staring back at them.
"Can I play around?" Jess asks Rory, seeing Dean.
"Yea, just don't get your face all messed up, because if you did, what use would you be to me?" Rory answers, as Jess grabs his light coat on his way out. Before Jess can do anything, Dean runs away. Jess then comes back inside.
"He is smarter than I remember." Jess states as he sits down next to Rory. Lane and Dave then walk down from the apartment.
"When did you guys get back?" Lane asks.
"About 20 minutes ago or so." Luke says.
"So, Movie night?" Rory asks to the room. The answers came in various forms of sure.
"But where?" Lorelei asks.
"Since you have all the movies, I am guessing your house." Rory said. "Wow, that sounded weird, your house."
"Yea, it did." Lorelei answered.
Danes House:
"We are not letting the girls pick out a movie again." Jess said, as they guys walked in the living room with popcorn and after Lorelei announced that they were going to watch The Notebook.
Jess took a seat next to Rory, on the floor, naturally draping one arm around her as she rest her head on his shoulder. Luke plopped down on one of the couches, lying across it, Lorelei joined him by sitting on top of him when he let out an 'ow.' They then got comfortable. Lane and Dave were snuggled on the second couch. Some where in the first 20 minutes, Luke feel asleep. Lane, Lorelei, and Rory all went crazy during the raining scene (if you seen the movie, then you know what I am talking about), Jess mocked them. Luke woke up around them, mumbling something. Jess and Dave then got into the movie, and of course, everyone, but Luke (because he was asleep) shed at least one tear at the end of the movie. Some, more than others though.
"Its…its…its just so beautiful! I mean, they end up together!" Rory said, sobbing on Jess's shoulder. Jess wiped the one tear that got away from his own eye, and then held Rory.
Lane just stared at the cast/credits that were now rolling and said, "Whoever thought of this story is the most brilliant person alive!" She said this; even though this was like the 10th time she saw the movie, along with Lorelei and Rory.
Lorelei shouted to Luke, "How did you fall asleep in a movie like that? It is the greatest movie in the history of movies! Well, almost greater than Willy Wonka!"
"I saw it 5 times before, with you!" Luke said back.
"Still, it is the second greatest movie."
A/N: I know that a Junior (Marty) ending up living with a Freshman (Jess) never really happens, but lets use our imagination. So, then next chapter won't take as long, I think.
