Disclaimer: I don't own it. Italics below are exact quotes, and the scene at the town meeting, I paraphrased what happened mostly, except the italicized.

A/N: Yea, so, how was everyone's couple of weeks? This won't be up until a while after I write this A/N partly b/c I'm going to 2 concerts this weekend, then next week is the final week before break so, teachers like to finish up their chapters and all. You get the point. Well, sorry for the long intervals, but I try to get writing as much as I can.


"So, are you tired yet?" Jess asked as they subconsciously started walking towards the bridge.

"A little bit," Rory leaned more onto Jess, and closed her eyes on his shoulder.

"We should've gotten more coffee in you."

"More coffee," she mumbled.

"If you want more, we will have to walk all the way back."

"Coffee bad."

"Hey, look, Dean!" Jess exclaimed.

"What!" Rory stood up and looked around her.

"It worked."

"You suck."

"Ah, you can go to sleep now, I have a book," Jess said as he sat down on the bridge.

"Score," Rory lied down with her head in his lap. "So how is the town going to figure out this whole Luke and Lorelei thing?"

"They are too wimpy to actually flaunt it in front of the town and too chicken to stand up in the town meeting saying it."

"So, see how long they can go without anyone noticing?"

"Is there any other way?"

"If I would like to get something out in the open or something like that, I would make a town event about it. How fun would that be?"

"I think after they do find out about it, Taylor would make it into a town event."

"I can see the tee shirts now," Rory said, falling asleep. Jess watched her fall asleep, then took out a book skillfully from his back pocket without disturbing her, and then started to read.


That night, Rory and Jess had a mini-movie night, and fell asleep on her couch. Luke and Lorelei stayed in the diner, all night.

The next morning, Jess woke up with a crick in his neck; he looked down to him holding on to Rory and decided that the pain was worth it. He looked at his watch, which read 9 o'clock, and moved around to get more comfortable. The movement woke Rory up, he felt horrible disturbing her peaceful sleep.

"Coffee?" Rory mumbled. Jess couldn't help but laugh at this comment. He remembered that she didn't have any, at all, yesterday.

"Let's go to Luke's." Jess replied.

Meanwhile, Lorelei woke up, next to Luke, mumbling the same word.

"We are over the diner," Luke said.

"Oh, right, well, I'll be right back then," she got up, took his plaid shirt and walked into the diner. She was startled by the patrons already in the diner and even more surprised when they didn't even look at her when she walked down. She grabbed her coffee and scurried upstairs. "They didn't even notice."

"What?" Luke asked.

"I walked down there," she pointed to the diner, "in this," she waved over her body," and they didn't even glance at me."

"So."

"Luke, I walked down into your diner only in your plaid shirt."

"Maybe they were too caught up in their breakfasts."

"Look at what I'm wearing!"

"Maybe…"

"I don't want to hear your excuse. They are up to something, I know it."

"I hate Taylor."

In 20 minutes, Jess and Rory walked into Luke's just as Lorelei and Luke walked down from the apartment.

"You didn't go home last night?" Rory asked Lorelei.

"I could say the same to Jess."

"We fell asleep on the couch watching Say Anything," Rory replied.

"I can see that Jess lost the argument on Say Anything or Almost Famous."

"I get to pick out our next movie," Jess said triumphously.


Later that night:

"Jess, come on," Rory said, dragging Jess into the dance studio.

"First of all, I don't like the town, so why would I ever consider going to a town meeting? And second of all, this means I will be in the same room as Ms. Patty. And I'm afraid of her," Jess said, trying to pull back.

"I just want to make sure Taylor isn't up to something."

"What would he be up to?"

"It's Taylor."

"World domination?"

"Close, finding out about Luke and my mom's relationship and broadcasting it in the town meeting, with charts."

"You love charts," Jess said, starting to give in to her pulling.

"Not his charts."

"Cause his charts are evil and want to take over the world as well, while your charts are for man kind."

"Exactly!" Rory said, quietly as they took their seats in the back, behind Luke and Lorelei.

"Did they decide to flaunt it since they think everyone knows now?" Jess whispered as Taylor spoke of something another.

"They are working their way up to PDA's," Rory whispered back.

"Will you two quiet down in back?" Taylor asked, "Which reminds me of our next order of business. We all know of Jess's return to Stars Hollow," there was some talking amongst the crowd. "And his and Rory's relationship reconciliation," Taylor went on.

"What did we do?" Rory yelled.

"Nothing, except bring your mother and Luke closer together."

"Ha! I knew it!" Lorelei said to Luke.

At the same time, Rory whispered to Jess, "Told you so."

"This is the relationship our town has been afraid of."

"What?" The foursome in the back yelled.

"It will be exactly like the Fay Wellington and Art Brush incident. If they break up…" Taylor went on.

"We're breaking up?" Lorelei said loudly.

Taylor just rolled his eyes, "If they break up, patrons will either be a Luke or a Lorelei. They Lorelei's won't go into Luke's and the Luke's won't step foot in the inn, when it is finished."

"Are you serious, Taylor?" Luke yelled.

"I vote against this relationship," Taylor gave Luke the evil eye.

"Can they break us up?" Lorelei asked Luke.

"No, no they can't." Luke said.

"The town's economy will fail because of this relationship," Taylor continued.

"I can't believe he is this serious," Jess snickered.

"No it won't, Taylor!" Luke boomed.

"I have charts from the Fay and Art relationship. Remember Valentines Day, it was either candy or flowers, not both."

"Oh, that sounds horrible. Maybe we should break up," Lorelei said to Luke.

"Alright, I had enough!" Luke stood up. "This is my relationship, mine, not yours, not yours, not yours," he points to Lorelei, "yours, but not yours. Mine and hers, but not," looks at Taylor, "yours! There's not gonna be any more debating about whether or not it's a good idea if we're in a relationship, 'cause we're in a relationship."

"But in the event of a breakup-" Taylor said.

"There will be no break up," Luke yelled.

"Aren't we optimistic," Gypsy said.

"Fine. In case of a breakup, I'll move. I'll close up Luke's Diner, I'll go far, far away, and that way you won't have to choose, okay? Every section in town can be pink!"

"Can I get that in writing?" Taylor asked.

"I really didn't expect this," Rory whispered to Jess.

"Look at Luke take charge, this is the fist time I actually seen him show passion for something, and let me tell you, this is a lot of passion."

"Yea," Rory nodded.

"These are the moments when I wish I had a video camera," Jess said.

"I totally agree." Rory laughed.

"Alright, since we got that out of our system," Taylor said as he eyed Luke, "Next up on business…"

"Can we go now?" Jess asked.

"Yea, see you didn't get groped by Ms. Patty," Rory said as they got up to walk out.

"Oh, she eye groped me," Jess smirked.

"You poor thing," Rory said trying to sound sympathetically, but laughed anyway.

"So, what now?"

"Well, I really haven't spent that much time in that apartment of yours…"

"You sure you want to go there?" Jess asked, surprised, "I mean, it's not that sanitary."

"Yea it is."

"Alright, if you insist," he said, leading her to his car, "should you tell your mom or something?"

"I'll text her on the way."

"Huh."


"Where did you get all these movies?" Rory asked after they watched Almost Famous and she was looking for another movie to watch.

"I thought it would be a good idea to get movies so when you need study breaks, there is something here to watch," he replied, she looked at him funny. "And a whole month a lone, I had to do something," he added half sarcastically, half serious.

"Why do you have the complete John Cusak collection?" Rory asked.

"I also have the complete Monty Python collection, now that is some good stuff."

"You're being evasive."

"You want to watch one?"

"You know what; I don't want to know why you have John Cusak."

"Good idea, so what movie's next?"

"Madagascar"

"Yes, because I can't get enough of those talking animals."

"Hey, you're the one who has the movie."

"Because you like talking animals."

"You bought a movie that you don't like just because I like it?"

"Maybe…"

"See, I knew you weren't the monosyllabic jerk everyone thought you were."

"Thank you?"

Rory then pushed play. As they were watching the movie, groans and sighs were heard from Jess when something corny happened, but laughter was also heard from him during some parts.

After the movie, Jess stood up to stretch and looked at his watch, "its getting late I should probably get you home."

"Right," she replied, a bit sadly.

"What?"

"I don't know, it was just nice, last night," Rory said innocently.

"Uh, but that couch was really uncomfortable."

"No, I mean hanging with you all night."

"Oh," he nodded, "I don't think I have enough movies for an all nighter."

"Yea you do, you have not only the complete John Cusak collection, but also the complete Monty Python collection."

"So which one is it?"

"Let's go with John Cusak."

"Alrighty, sounds good to me."


"It's late where is she?" Lorelei asked, pacing her living room, with Luke sitting at the couch.

"Maybe they just fell asleep on his couch this time."

"I guess so."

"She's fine, Jess won't let anything happen to her, can I go to sleep now?"

"I'm not keeping you up am I?" Lorelei asked, he nodded, "Oh sorry."

"I'm going back to my apartment now, are you going to be okay?"

"Yea."

"Alright, good."


A/N: Alrighty, I'm sorry for the long wait. I've kinda gotten writers block again. I don't know where to go. I know what I would want to happen when Rory gets back in college, but until then, I have no clue. Is skipping that time okay? If not, please send me some ideas that could happen over the summer. Oh, I am also not good at the intimate part between Rory and Jess, I would like it to happen (not going into detail though), but I don't know how become of that, so send me an idea for that as well. In other words, help me out here.
