Good-Night Dodger

Lorelei and Rory started walking towards Luke's. Rory suddenly felt arms around her waist. They stopped and she turned around.

"Uh, hi Dean." Rory said.

Dean gave her a long kiss.

"Hi." he paused and turned to Lorelei, " Hey, Lorelei." then he turned back to Rory, "I was hoping we could spend the day together since you don't have school today."

"Dean, I'm sorry. I can't. I promised my mom I would spend the day with her. I also have homework I still need to finish. Chilton does that to you, you know."

"Oh, okay. I just thought I could spend sometime with you. You've been so busy lately."

"Bye."

She gives him and kiss and continues walking.

"Bye." he said as they left leaving him looking dumbfounded.

Lorelei looked at Rory strangely.

"What?"

"It looked like you didn't want to hang out with him. I also didn't know we had plans today."

"No, I am telling the truth."

Lorelei stared at Rory.

"Okay, half-truth. I do have homework, but if I just told him that, he wouldn't buy it."

"Isn't that what boyfriends are for? To hang out with them?"

"Yes, but we hang out too much. He is getting way to clingy. We had a fight a few days ago because I was hanging out with Lane instead of him!"

"Oh, okay. You know you don't have to be with him. I don't mind, as long as you are happy."

"Yeah, mom, I do. I am not just going out with him because you like him."

"Okay, I was just making sure you knew that."

They entered the diner.

"Oh, no! I've suddenly lost my vision! I need COFFEE to cure it!" Lorelei yelled emphasizing the word coffee so Luke would hear. "Rory, work with me here." she whispered to Rory.

"Oh, right." she paused. "Ah, please Luke, we need t give her coffee. I want my mom to see the world." Rory said dramatically.

"Okay, okay. Here, stop. You're scaring the customers. You know that coffee doesn't make you live that long, so being blind-"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, Luke. Just hand over the coffee." Lorelei interrupted.

Luke rolled his eyes and gave them coffee. Lorelei ordered their food and then he disappeared behind the curtains. He came back with their food.

Lorelei looked at him flirtatiously and said, "Lukey, would you mind poring me another cup of coffee?" she blew him kisses.

"No, I have already refilled it four times!"

Lorelei bats her eyelashes and says, "Please?"

"Call me when her funeral is. I would like to be there and tell her I told you so." Luke said to Rory as he poured coffee in her cup.

"I have to go shopping. Cesar take over." Luke said as he left the diner.

"Bye, Mom. I have to go too. I'm going to finish my homework."

"Bye. I am going to stick around. I have a feeling something interesting is going to happen."

She waited until Luke came back. She knew something was up. Luke dropped some of the groceries and Lorelei came to help.

"Need any help?" she paused, "Mr. Healthy Don't Drink Coffee eats Frosted Flakes?" she said as she picked it up.

"No, it's for someone else."

"Who else lives here?"

"Jess is coming to live here because Liz can't take him anymore. She expects me to fix him because she completely gives up on raising a teenager. I sometimes feel bad for him, even though she is my sister. She always gives up."

"Well, at least he is going to have you."

"Yeah, I hope I can get to him."

"Rory is going to be so excited. Bye."

Lorelei stopped when she got to the door and turned around. "Maybe you two can have dinner with us tomorrow?"

Luke smiled. "Sure."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jess looked up from his book. A sign passed by, it read, "Welcome to Stars Hollow". He rolled his eyes.

Great, he thought.

He got off the bus and there he was.

:Jess."

"Luke."

They walked to the diner and went upstairs.

"Okay, there is your bed and put your clothes here." he said pointing all around the room.

"Oh, I bought you Frosted Flakes for breakfast. I remember that you used to eat that for breakfast a long time ago."

"That's grrreat." Jess said sarcastically.

"I'm going to go back to the diner."

He unpacked everything and went downstairs.

"I'm going out."

"For how-" Luke started, but he already left. "long." He sighed.

He walked to the bridge and took out a book from his pocket and read. When he was done, he went back to the diner.

He entered and he heard a familiar voice.

"Come on Luke. Give me more coffee!"

"No."

She looked to see who came in.

"Jess, nice to see you."

He just nodded.

"Rory is at home doing some homework."

He nodded one last time before he went upstairs.

"Wow, he's talkative."

"He's just getting used to this. Give him time."

"Yeah, it's not like he was the talkative type before either. Okay, since you are not giving me coffee I am going to go home!"

Lorelei rushed home to tell Rory the news.

"Guess what?"

Rory looked up from her paper and said, "You're not really my mother?"

"No. I am, but that's not it."

"What then?"

"Jess is back."

"What?"

"Jess is back." Lorelei repeated.

Rory got up and started heading towards the door.

"He's… different." Lorelei said, but she already slammed the door shut.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm going out." Jess said.

"You're going to need keys."

"No, I won't."

"I'm not even going to ask."

He left and headed for the bridge.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rory POV

Rory ran all the way to the bridge. She saw him and froze. She couldn't believe it. He was actually here. She suddenly was wondering how to approach him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jess POV

He felt her presence. He knew she was here. He took a deep breath, not looking up from the water. "Hi, Rory."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rory POV

She felt relieved, at least she didn't have to approach him anymore. "Hi." she said awkwardly and sat down next to him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He looked up and faced her. Wow, she grew up, he thought. Her hair went from a brown to a lighter reddish-brown. Her eyes though were still the beautiful baby blue.

"So, are you going to ask why I'm staying here?"

"No, because I know you will tell me later on." she replied calmly.

"But I will ask you why you didn't call or write."

"When we got to the apartment it so small. It was worse that one of the ones we had before. A week later, I found another loser at my house. The more he came over, the less I spend time at home. Soon, the money mysteriously was getting short. I had to get tough. Then Liz got sick of me reasoning with her and sent me here."

"You still didn't answer my question."

"Yes, I did. I said we were short on money. We didn't have enough money for a phone. We barely had money for food. We didn't even have enough money to use a payphone."

"Well, you could of said it that way."

"I thought you could figure it out. You are still planning to go to Harvard?"

"Yeah, yeah. I missed you." She hugged him.

He felt his heart flutter.

No, why is this happening? I am supposed to be tough and love no one, he thought.

He didn't know why he felt this way. He didn't want to let her go. Eventually they did.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rory POV

When she hugged him, she felt different. I never felt like this when Dean did. That was the best twenty seconds of her life. She didn't want to let go, but she had to.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, what have you been reading lately?"

"A lot of things, I lost count."

"Me too."

"I'm sorry, but I have to go. My Mom is waiting for me."

He nodded. She hugged him for the last time and got up. She started to walk, but stopped and turned around.

"Good-night, Dodger."

Then she went off.

He smirked.

What do you think? Good or bad? Please tell me and review. I will probably update tomorrow or later today.
