Rory woke up to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She groaned. "Hello?" she said into the phone groggily.

"Ace," the other end said.

"Logan?" Rory asked, suddenly awake.

"Yeah, don't hang up!"

"Why shouldn't I?"

"I need to talk to you. I have some really important news."

"Some Rebecca news. I know. I don't want to hear it. BYE!" Rory shouted and hung up the phone.

"Rory, who was that?" Jess asked Rory.

"Oh, nobody. Sorry for waking you."

"Come on, Rory. Who were you talking to?"

"Jess."

"Come on. Just tell me."

"Logan."

"What?" Jess asked surprised at her answer.

"I was talking to Logan."

"Oh. And how long have you been talking to him?" Jess asked her more harshly than he had intended.

"Jess! He called me this morning! This is the first time that I have talked to him since that stupid meeting in his apartment a few months ago. Why would I want to talk to him, Jess? Why?"

"I don't know, Rory! It's just that you let him walk all over you! He treats you like dirt, you two break up, he begs for forgiveness, you get back together, and then he walks all over you. Sort of like what you're doing to me," Jess shouted.

"What?" Rory asked.

"I've always been here for you, Rory." Jess said quieter.

"I know you have, Jess!"

"I loved you, Rory. I've tried to ignore the fact that you're still in love with Logan. The only reason that you came to me was because you needed a place to stay."

"No, Jess-"

"Rory, just admit it! You needed comforting and a place to stay and I was willing to give it to you. I know you didn't love me. And the truth is, I didn't love you. Well, I'll always love you but just as a friend. I know that it would never work between us so I've given up on that idea. I told you I loved you because I hoped that maybe, just maybe you would still have feelings for me. The only reason why you promised to never go back to that jerk is because you were mad at him. The truth is you still love him. And I don't love you. You are one of my best friends, Rory. That's all."

"Man, doesn't anybody love me?" Rory asked feeling severely unwanted.

"I do, but just as a friend. When ever you need a shoulder I've got two that are reserved for you, okay?"

"Yeah. Me too," she said and hugged him, "So, I guess I'll be moving out now."

"You don't have to."

"Yeah, I know, but I don't want to be a burden."

"You aren't."

"It's fine. It's about time that I allow you to see other people. My mom will be happy that I'm moving back with her."

"Can we still get together?"

"Yeah. How about we meet at Luke's on Saturday at noon for lunch?"

"Sounds great. Here, I'll help you pack."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

Jess and Rory packed up her stuff and loaded it to her car. She thanked him and hugged him again. Rory got into her car and drove to her mom's house. Halfway through the drive, Rory decided that it would be smart to call her mom to tell her that she was coming. She dialed her mom's number.

"Hello?" Lorelai picked up.

"Hey mom."

"Rory! What's up?"

"I'm moving back in with you, roomie."

"Why? What did Jess do."

"Nothing but help me see that I didn't love him."

"Oh."

"So, we'll be roomies again!"

"No, not really."

"What? Why?"

"Because we won't be sharing a room, we'll be sharing a home. So technically we'll be homies."

Rory sighed. "Okay, see you soon, homie!" she joked.

"Peace out," Lorelai said, causing Rory to laugh.

"Bye, mom. I'll see you in a few."

Rory came home to see Michael, Michaela, and James in Lorelai's house all playing twister. Michael had himself twisted into a very uncomfortable looking pretzel shape. Lorelai was clearly winning the game.

"Rory!" Michaela screamed the instant she saw Rory come in through the door. Michaela got out of her twisted shape and ran to hug Rory.

"Hey, Michaela!" Rory said and hugged her back, "Hey mom, Michael, James."

"Hey, babe. I'll help you get your stuff after this game. I'm winning!" Lorelai announced.

"Hey Rory," Michael said with difficulty.

"I can help you get your stuff," James said.

"What about the game?" Lorelai asked him hurt.

"It will be more interesting watching my dad lose," James said and laughed.

"Suit yourself!" Lorelai said cheerfully, "Better chance for me of winning!" Michael grunted.

"Let's go get your stuff," James said.

"Okay. But when we get back in, we should make popcorn," Rory agreed.

"Yeah! POPCORN!" Michaela chimed in.

"Cool," James agreed.

Once James and Rory had loaded all of Rory's stuff into her room, Rory made popcorn and she, James, and Michaela sat on the couch, eating popcorn and watching Lorelai and Michael in their intense game of Twister. Finally Michael fell over after practically having to balance himself on one leg.

"I win!" Lorelai shouted and did a victory dance.

"I can't feel my legs," Michael announced.

"I know what would cure that! Ice Cream!" Lorelai decided.

"Yeah, a homecoming party for Rory," Michael agreed.

"And a victory party for my mom," Rory added on. Michaela and James were also very enthusiastic about getting ice cream.

The five of them walked to Taylor's Ice Cream Parlor and each got a double scoop on a cone.

Rory looked through the glass window and saw Luke cleaning up the diner. He looked so sad and lonely. "Mom, have you been to Luke's yet?" Rory asked her mom.

"No, hon. It's just too awkward, especially since I'm dating Michael now."

"Yeah, but I think it would be good for you to eat there. You were such great friends, even before you dated. I think it would be a pity if you two never became friends again."

"Yeah, I guess. The food's good too."

"Really good. I'm meeting Jess there for lunch on Saturday."

"You are?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you weren't together anymore."

"We're friends mom, we can still get together without being together."

"Yeah, you can."

"Logan called earlier today."

"What!"

"Yeah, he called. Said that he has some important Rebecca news to tell me. I told him I didn't want to hear it and I hung up."

"Rory, he said it's important. Listen to him next time he calls."

"Mom! We both know what he's going to say!"

"It might not be exactly what you think, listen to him."

"Fine. But only if he calls."

"Deal."
