Disclaimer: Nothing different than before….24th time…you should know it.
A/N: Okay, so that went well. I need to write b/c I have nothing else to do. So, be happy w/ my boredom. Dunno what to put in here…Party on, stay cool, and watch Gilmore Girls. Oh, I recently had a Milo on Gilmore Girls marathon…it was good. I melted.
Lorelei, Rory, and Jess were all gathered around a table with a bunch of scattered paper.
Jess's head was down on his crossed arms. Rory nudged him, "Jess, wake up, its your house too."
"Huh." Jess got up groggily.
"What couch do you want?" Rory asked, shoving a magazine in his hand.
"Yea, that's nice sweetie." Jess said, falling back to sleep.
"Aww, that's cute, he called you sweetie." Lorelei said.
"Yea, there's a first for everything." Rory said, "Grab the phone, we are getting this one."
"Why cant we just use the ones you have in your dorm?" Jess asked, now awake.
"Because that is in my dorm, and what would we use when we get back on weekends?" Rory replied.
"Oh." Jess said, going back to sleep. "The leather one." He announced into his arms.
"Okay, that is the last thing you guys need!" Lorelei announced.
"Good," Jess said.
"The stuff will come next Saturday," Rory announced, putting all the papers and magazines away.
"Fun," Jess said sarcastically, still head down.
"Rory isn't wearing a shirt." Lorelei smiled.
"Mom!" Rory got angry, "Out!"
"What!" Jess popped his head up.
"See, it worked." Lorelei yelled as Rory pushed her out the door.
"Too bad." Jess smirked, walking over to the couch, which was being borrowed from Lorelei, and lied down on it.
"What?" Rory followed.
"Exactly," Jess said, as Rory got comfortable next to him and turned on the tiny TV in front of them.
The next day:
"Too bad you have to leave!" Lorelei hugged her daughter, "Yale isn't better than I am."
"No, but Yale, plus me is." Jess responded.
Lorelei slapped him lightly across the head. "If you weren't my nephew…"
"Bye mom," Rory grabbed Jess before he could say anything and shoved him into the driver's seat of the car.
That Thursday night:
Jess was over Rory's dorm, watching some movie with her, Paris, and Doyle. Rory's cell started ringing.
"Hello," She answered. "Yea, he is right here….okay, one second." She held out the phone, "Jess, Luke wants to talk to you."
"Hello Uncle Luke," Jess greeted cheerfully.
"Jess…" Luke said coldly. "Well, I've got some great news for you!" Luke laughed.
"What?" Jess didn't like the sound of this.
"I got a phone call from your mother…"
"And all the good things start off like that."
"She is coming home today, and wants to see us tomorrow…" Luke smirked.
"No! Luke you didn't!" Jess knew where this was going.
"Yup, her and TJ!" Luke laughed.
"No, you aren't my favorite family member anymore!" Jess said.
"I can't wait! This is going to be…" Luke started, but Jess just hung up on him.
"What was that?" Rory asked curiously.
"Luke invited my mother and TJ to come tomorrow." Jess said.
"You're kidding!" Rory laughed.
"Rory, it would be great if you wouldn't laugh at this. I already have your grandparents coming, and I have to act all un-Jess like, and my mother! This isn't going to be fun. Who are they going to call next? Dean? Wait, that would be cool, cause I could show off my muscle and then shove him into the lake." Jess ranted.
"Yea, sorry to break it to you, I think Dean has more muscle than you do." Paris said.
"Yea, he is kinda athletic and you are rowing because you have to! You hate sports!" Rory said.
"Yea, but I was born ripped." Jess smirked.
"Okay…" Rory smiled.
"What, you don't think I am ripped?" Jess smirked.
"Hey, if you take your shirt off, maybe we can see." Doyle said.
"Wait, ew, you want to see me with my shirt off?" Jess asked, "Great catch, Paris, great catch!"
"No…I was just….I don't know how to recover from this one." Doyle said.
"I say you take your shirt off." Rory smirked. "and put on some of those spandex shorts that we all know you love to wear."
"No previews for Friday." Jess smirked.
"Oh, and by the way, Doyle and I are coming." Paris said, moving her focus back to the TV.
"I don't care if you come, but Doyle? I am kind of afraid of him now." Jess said.
"I was saying it for Rory's behalf." Doyle covered up.
"What!" Rory exclaimed.
"Remember, I am your editor." Doyle said.
"I don't believe you!" Jess smirked, "You are having this conversation right in front of me."
"I just wanted to compare." Doyle said.
"Doyle, believe me, I don't think you stack up to Jess." Paris said.
"And I don't want to see you with your shirt off." Rory said.
"Ditto." Jess spoke up.
The next morning:
"Jess, get up, we got class in half an hour." Rory nudged Jess whose arms were protectively around her.
"No, must sleep, sleep through this horrible, horrible day." Jess stirred.
"At least let me go to class." Rory said.
"Whatever." Jess loosened his grip, "wake me up right before you leave."
"How do you know that I am not leaving now?" Rory asked.
"Because you take a shower first." Jess said, rolling over.
"Okay, fine." Rory went off to take her shower. She came back, with Jess getting dressed.
"Do we have time for breakfast?" Jess asked, checking his watch.
"Yup, if we eat fast, and don't wait for Paris and Doyle"
"I don't want to hear what goes on in there." Jess said, nodding toward their door as they walked out.
"So, are you excited?" Rory said, bounding down to the dining room.
"About what?" Jess said.
"Tonight." Rory smirked.
"Yes, I can't wait for this fun filled evening!" Jess said sarcastically.
"Okay, I promise that this is the last thing with my grandparents for a while." Rory said.
"And I could of just said no to going with you 3 weeks ago." Jess said.
"And you could of never came to my dorm room…never declared your love….never came back….never gotten came back that time I came to New York….never came to my dorm after your mother's wedding…never actually come to Stars Hollow in the first place!" Rory went on.
"And then I would have never met the most wonderful person ever!" Jess smirked.
"I know I am wonderful." Rory fluttered, walking in as Jess opened the door for her.
"No, not you. I meant Paris!" Jess smirked.
"You are a funny one."
They get their food, find a table, and eat. They then find that they have to leave for class.
"I'll see you tonight." Rory said, smiling.
"Yes, I can't wait." Jess said sarcastically.
"Neither can I." Rory said seriously, giving him a kiss.
That night:
Rory arrived earlier than the rest at the Lake, probably because she lived closer.
"Rory!" She heard a voice, that wasn't Jess, yell.
She turned to see Logan approaching her.
"Uhh, hi Logan." She smiled politely.
"How have you been?" Logan asked.
"Good, and you." Rory asked with the fake smiled plastered on her face.
"Look, Rory, I know this must be awkward, but I have a proposition for you, see, going back to my own ways, if you ever need a break from Jess…" Logan started, but just then Jess sneaked up behind Rory and said, "I hope that will never happen."
Rory turned around, kissed Jess and said, "That would be impossible, unless you lose that great body." Rory smirked mischievously.
"Then you will be calling me?" Logan asked, seriously.
"Oh, just get lost." Jess yelled over, still holding on to Rory, face to face with her.
"You will see…" Logan said, walking off.
"…that you are a jerk." Jess finished, but Logan didn't hear.
"So, where were we?" Jess asked as he leaned in.
"Eww, stop that!" Lorelei said, walking up to them.
"Hey Aunt Lorelei!" Jess said disappointedly/ sarcastically.
"Wait, please don't say that, it makes us sound like cousins." Rory said.
"Fine, hello Lorelei!" Jess said disappointedly.
"Better." Rory exclaimed, getting out of Jess's grip to give her mother a hug.
"Not excited to see me?" Lorelei asked.
"No, just because of the laughing that will take place soon." Jess said.
Rory went back into Jess's grip and rested her head on his shoulder. "We wouldn't laugh at you." She said innocently.
"How did you get an idea such as that?" Lorelei exclaimed.
"Lets see, last weekend when you said, 'this is going to be funnier than anything I have thought was funnier before combined.'" Jess smirked.
"Yea, well, you caught me!" Lorelei said.
"Alright, I've got to go. Partly because I have to get ready and partly because I don't want to see everyone." Jess said, giving Rory a kiss.
"Good Luck!" Rory said.
"Oh and Jess." Lorelei said, as he walked off. He turned around. "Nice spandex." She laughed.
"Thanks Lorelei." Jess said, turning around and walking off.
"So, did Luke come with you?" Rory asked.
"Yea, he is trying to get the video camera working." Lorelei said.
"You guys need to find the right reasons to use that. Not only for people's embarrassment."
"Well, we are thinking of making a TV show. America's most embarrassing moments, but no one likes the pitch. So, we are just gathering as much craziness that goes on in this family because we are afraid it will die down soon."
"Hey, Rory. Where is he?" Luke asked, coming up to the girls.
Rory pointed down to the docks.
"Nice, I hope this zooms in enough." Luke said.
"So, did TJ and Liz come with you guys?" Rory asked.
"No, they followed us. They should be here…." Lorelei started.
"Where is he?" Liz interrupted.
"Uhh, down there." Rory pointed towards Jess again.
"Oh, Liz, this is Rory." Luke said, pointing to Rory. "Rory, Liz."
"Thanks for the obvious Luke." Lorelei said.
"Hey, they never actually met!" Luke said, setting up the video camera. "you take pictures." Luke said, shoving the camera to Lorelei.
"Hello," Rory smiled politely.
"Ah, the girl who stole my son's heart."
"Yea." Rory said.
"Rory! Are we late?" Richard yelled as Emily and he paced over to them.
"Uh, no it just started." Rory said, watching the 4 boats race to the finish. "I actually have to go find Paris." She added, walking towards the docks. Not really wanting to be with the family right then.
Paris waved over to her, from where she was standing.
"Hey, Paris." Rory said, "can't believe you actually showed up!"
"Yea, well, Doyle is meeting me here, and then we are going to go out."
"Oh, where there he is?" Rory says pointing over Paris's shoulder, "I'll talk to you later." She says, as she spots Jess walking towards them hesitantly. She starts walking over towards him. She kisses him saying, "It's a good look for you."
"Thanks, are they all here?" Jess asks.
"Unfortunately, yes."
"Can they see us from here?"
"I don't think so."
"Come on." Jess takes her hand, and runs off in the opposite direction of the family.
"Are you crazy?" She stops them.
"What?" Jess defends.
"They are going to be mad."
"They'll get over it."
Rory looks back over her shoulder and starts running again and adds, "This is the Jess I remember."
Jess smirks at her and slows the pace.
"I am going to get yelled at by my mother for leaving her with her mother, by my grandma for having a hoodlum of a boyfriend, and by Luke because he can't watch your misery." Rory laughs.
"Huh."
"Jess, stop going totally back to your 17 year old self."
"Once I start, I just can't stop." He smiles. "So, where shall we flee to?"
"Uhh, we have to be home tomorrow for the furniture arrival, so lets just get in the car and get a head start." Rory says.
"Or, lets go somewhere different, like Maine, Vermont, or even Florida, you can go to Disney World!" Jess says sarcastically.
"Jess, I would love to, but we have classes next week."
"Next time we run away?" He acts like a 3 year old.
"If you are a good boy." She pats him on his head and leads him to their dorm.
"Seriously, Rory. When we don't have class, lets blow everyone off, and go somewhere." Jess says, semi-seriously.
"Okay." Rory nods.
"Okay?" He smirks.
"Yea, okay." She repeats.
"'Cause, you know, I have always wanted to meet Mickey Mouse." He says sarcastically.
"So, unpredictable Jess is back?" Rory asks.
"No, unpredictable Jess is gone, semi-unpredictable Jess is here. Since we decided to go when we don't have class, it's not so much of an up and go, 'cause now we are actually going to make plans to go." Jess says.
"How 'bout we somehow forget we decided this and on our break, we just up and leave?" Rory suggests, as she unlocks her door.
"That can make me a bit more unpredictable." Jess nods, entering the dorm after Rory.
"Do you have any laundry to bring back?" Rory asks, seeing her boyfriend didn't go back to his own dorm.
"Yea, I put it in your bags." He says, picking up the bags.
Rory opens the door for him, and he walks through saying, "see that was unpredictable, one would have assumed that I have been wearing the same thing since last week." He says sarcastically.
A/N: What did you think? Uh, nothing much to say. I am thinking of ending this one soon, but I just don't know where. Most would do it at the proposal or wedding, but that is just trendy…I want to be unique. I'll think about it. Hahahaha, do you know what would be funny, if she wakes up and its another dream. Oh, you guys will kill me. Ahhh, I won't do that, don't worry.
