Author's Note – For anyone who likes Dean don't read my stories because I hate him. No offense to anyone who likes him. Although I LOVE Jared Padalecki!!

pam halliwell - Javajunkie means a Luke and Lorelai story, Literati means a Rory and Jess story and a Rogan means a Logan and Rory story. I am in love with Jess also.

Spinaround – thanks for the reviews and I am glad you like it.

Lackinglime123 – thank you for your reviews and for being the first person to review this story. Also I am glad you enjoy how I write Jess. I am a sarcastic person just like him.

Rorygilmore46 – I agree DEAN SUCKS. I hate him so much.

Previously on So Close But Yet So Far –

"I pushed Jess onto the lake then he pulled me in, but first he started to ask me stuff then I started to ramble and said Dean was stupid then I said things I say when I ramble I don't mean them then he asked if I liked him and I realize I do like him. But have to choose between him and Dean. Also I'm meeting Jess tonight."

Lorelai was shocked then said, "Ok, well hun as much as I dislike Jess just follow your heart and why are you meeting Jess tonight? Are you going on a date while Dean is out of town? Because if you then you so are my daughter." She said the last part to lighten up the mood a little

"Mom, it's not funny and no I'm going to get him to come to town meeting."

Lorelai laughed and asked, "And how do you plan to do that?"

Rory smiled then said, "I have my ways."

"Your not cheating on Dean with him are you?" Lorelai asked in a worried voice

"What? No of course not I didn't mean it like that, I have a plan and u will just have to wait and see, but a word of advice sit in the back during town meeting. So want to go to Luke's?"

" Sure let's go."

Chapter 3 - Bad Influence

Luke's Diner

As both Gilmore Girls walked into the diner Lorelai called out. It was almost late afternoon. So the diner wasn't busy just a few people.

"Luuukkkeyyy we need coffee now please diner man." As they sat at the counter Luke comes out and poured them coffee.

" This stuff is going to kill you and don't call me Lukey."

"Okie dokie diner man" she smiles as Luke sighed and looked toward Rory

"Please make her stop and I'll give you an extra cup of coffee without saying it is going to kill you."

" I'll be quite if you give me more coffee." Lorelai said before Rory can answer.

"Fine" Luke said and poured her and Rory more coffee while Rory looked around the diner and couldn't find Jess. "Do you guys want anything else?"

" Um yeah two cheeseburgers, onion rings, french fries and lots of coffee." Lorelai said

"Your going to give yourself a heart attack one day you know." Luke asked while writing the order down and giving it to Ceasar.

Before Lorelai could say anything else Rory asked, "Hey, Luke where's Jess?"

Luke made a face of annoyance of mentioning Jess then said, "The little punk is upstairs doing nothing when he should be working, oh by the way glad you pushed him in the lake."

Rory smiled and said, "Your welcome, um can I go up there for a minute?"

Luke looked at little confused but said, "Uh…. sure"

Rory smiled then said, "Ok, thanks" and with that she went behind the curtains and up the stairs.

"What was that about?" Luke asked Lorelai after Rory headed upstairs. There weren't a lot of customers so he didn't have to severe any right then.

"Oh, Rory likes both Dean and Jess so earlier she was making a Pro/Con list, and she and Jess planned to hang out tonight." Lorelai said then realized what she had said and hit her head on the counter. Then out her hand on her forehead and said.

"Ok first off ouch that really hurt second you can't say anything about what I said and third ouch."

Luke just smirked a little and then said, " First off don't do that again second I won't tell and third what are they planning on doing?"

"Thank you and don't worry she is going to make him come to town meeting with us tonight."

"How? She isn't making out with him is she? Is she cheating on Dean with him? I knew he was going to start trouble…" Luke said but Lorelai cut him off.

"No she isn't to any of that but she did say we better sit in the back why I have know idea but I'm going to listen to her."

Luke's Apartment

Meanwhile Rory had gotten to the top of the stairs she knocked on the door and heard Jess say,

"Come in." as she was opening to the door Jess started saying while getting a soda from the fridge and sitting back on the brown old leathered couch Luke owned.

"You know Luke this is your place you don't have to knock but …." And trailed off when he saw it was "Hey."

"Hi, can I come in?"

"Sure" he said and closed his book.

"Ok thanks" she said and closed the door behind her and sat on the couch on the other end. Not wanting to make to accidentally sit to close. Jess took notice of how she was going to sit closer to him but didn't at the last minute.

"So how would you like to annoy Taylor and hit everybody you don't like with me?" She asked

"What? Did you hit your head or something?" Jess asked wondering were she was heading with this.

"No, I had idea that had your name written all over it, plus I will help."

"You have my attention," he said interested.

"Well when don't I?" she said mockingly and then said, "Ok, well I was thinking we bring fries with us to town meeting and sit in the back then throw them at Taylor, and Kirk or anyone."

"That doesn't sound something you would usually do. I mean Stars Hollow town Princess coming up with that idea." Jess said, wondering whether she would really do that or not.

"Yeah well what can I say you're a bad influence."

"Yeah I am." He said then thought for a moment and said, " Wait, me going to town meeting, I don't think so."

"Come on it will be fine and then you will be a town member because you came." Rory said

"Nope." Jess answered

"I knew you would say that, ok how about you come and I let you pick 5 books from my collection to read." She said and gave him the famous bambi eyes. Jess saw that and was cracking.

"Make it seven books." He said not wanting to let her know he was cracking

"Jess" Rory said his name in a half warning half begging tone.

"Fine I'll take the 5 but you better have a good aim."

Rory smiled at the thought of spending more time with Jess. Completely forgetting about Dean. "I don't know if I do let me practice."

She reached and grabbed the pillow on the couch and threw it right in his face. "Yup, I have a good aim, now let's go." She started to get up when Jess threw the pillow back at her and hit her right square in the middle of the back of her head.

" Yeah me to I was just warming up come on let's go." He said smirked walking past her and toward the door.

Rory was shocked then said, "You hit me with the pillow, but I'm a girl you can't hit a girl."

"I didn't hit I threw the pillow and you happened to be in the way." Jess replied

"What ever let's go." Rory secretly enjoying all the time she was spending with Jess.

"After you." Jess said opened the door and they walked down into the diner.

Author's Note- Here you go I hope you like it. Please R&R. Sorry if it is short also I hope that you are ok with Rory being a little out of character.
