After Rory and Lorelai had finished off their pizza, Rory reluctantly went back to Jess's apartment. She didn't want to see him just yet, but she knew that she would have to if she didn't want to get into another fight with him. She said goodbye to Lorelai and then got a taxi to Jess's apartment. All the lights were off in the apartment. "Jess!" Rory shouted as she banged on the door. She looked in the parking lot and did not see Luke's truck or his car. She sighed and got her keys out of her purse. She unlocked the apartment and went inside and turned on the TV. She sat there flipping through the channels until way past midnight and then fell asleep on the couch. She was woken up by the slamming of a door. The person sighed deeply and sat down on the pull out couch.

"Jess? Is that you?" Rory asked groggily.

"Rory?"

"Yeah. Who else would this be? Are you expecting someone?"

"No. I just didn't expect you to be here."

"Why?"

"I don't know, Rory."

"Is it because you took off in the truck leaving me with Logan at his apartment? I spent a FORTUNE on getting a cab. I had to take two of them also. Why did you leave, Jess? Why do you ALWAYS storm off on me? You always do this to me! You know what? I'm tired of this. I'm tired of being left behind. Tired of you leaving without talking to me. Tired of making up with you just to lead to another fight and more storming off."

"Is that how you really feel?" Jess asked Rory concerned.

"Yeah" Rory said and then started to cry.

"Rory," Jess said he walked over to the couch and put his arm around her. She rested her head on his shoulder and cried onto it.

A few months passed and Rory and Jess's relationship was back to normal. Rory woke up and found a note from Jess on the fridge.

Hey Ror,

I left you a pop tart and tons of coffee. I had to run to the bookstore early today. I'll see you at dinner tonight.

Jess

Rory sighed. It was a Saturday and she didn't want to spend the whole day by herself. She called her mom. "Hey mom."

"Rory! Hey! What's up?"

"Jess is at the bookstore."

"Already?"

"Yeah. Listen, can we hang out today?"

"I'm sorry, babe. I'm going to meet Michael. Michaela, James, Michael and I are going to New York."

"Mom. I'm living in an apartment in New York."

"Right. So meet us at Mars 2112. Michaela wants to eat there. She likes the space thing. We're going to go to a lot of shops. Michaela's birthday is this weekend. We were going to go to Toys R' Us. You can probably meet us though. Michael really wants to meet you. So do James and Michaela. Afterwards we are going to go to a show and we actually do have an extra ticket that we were going to sell. Michaela's friend got sick."

"Sure. I'll be there. What time?"

"Lunch is at 11:30. The show's at 4:30."

"Perfect. Jess and I are having dinner at eight so I'll be able to do both."

"See you soon, honey."

"Bye mom."

Rory arrived at Mars 2112 at 11:15 and waited outside for her mom, Michael, James, and Michaela. She saw her mom running up to her and gave her a big hug. In back of Lorelai was a handsome man, an adorable little girl, and a teenage boy.

"You must be Rory. I'm Michael," Michael said and stuck out his hand.

"Hello," Rory shook his hand, "and you two must be James and Michaela." James nodded.

"You're pretty!" Michaela said.

"Thanks," Rory said, smiling.

"How old are you?" Michaela asked.

"Michaela," Michael said.

"No, it's fine. I'm twenty-two," Rory informed the curious girl.

"Wow, you're old!" Michaela said. Rory laughed. Michaela reminded her of a young version of her mother, curious, bubbly, and not afraid to ask questions. James on the other hand had not said a word to Rory yet.

Michael noticed this too and said to her on the way into the restaurant, "Sorry about James. He's a bit more shy and quiet than Michaela is. He'll be more talkative later on in the day." Rory nodded and the five of them went into the restaurant and ordered their food.

After lunch they went to Toys R' Us and bought a lot of presents for Michaela. At 4:30 the five of them went to see the show. After the show Rory said goodbye to her mother, Michael, Michaela who hugged her, and James who indeed did start to talk to her later on. "Can we see you soon Rory?" Michaela asked Rory eagerly.

"Of course," Rory replied. She smiled at how instantly popular she was to the five-year-old.

"When?" Michaela asked.

"How about next weekend?" Rory asked her.

"YAY!" Michaela exclaimed.

"Michaela, sweetie, we have to get going now. Bye, Rory," Michael said. Michaela frowned and followed her dad.

Rory turned on her cell phone to call Jess and found out that she had three new messages.

The first one was from her mom:

Hey Ror. It's me. We're running a little late. See you soon. Love ya!

The next one was from Jess:

Hey Rory. I'm just calling to tell you that we'll have to move dinner to tomorrow. I won't be able to get back until nine tonight. I'm sorry. I'll see you later. We can still catch a movie. Bye.

Rory sighed. This was the third time this month that he had to move dinner. His job was becoming very demanding. The third message began to play:

Hey Ace. It's me, Logan. Don't hang up. I really need to talk to you. Please call me. This is pretty important. I know you probably don't want to talk to me but please call. I really want to talk with you. I miss hearing your voice. Also I have some news. It's about Rebecca. She's-

At the sound of Rebecca's name Rory hung up the phone. She was angry with Logan for calling her and she decided that there was no way that she was going to call him. She went back to the apartment and saw that there was a message on the home machine.

Ace-

Rory didn't listen to the message. She deleted it so that Jess would not hear it. She had decided on the way to the apartment that she didn't want Jess to know that Logan had called. After she deleted the message she sat on the couch and couldn't help but wonder what the important Rebecca news Logan wanted to tell her was.
