Previously on So Close But Yet So Far –
"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
"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 b/c you came." Rory said
"Nope" Jess answered
"I knew you would say that, ok how about you come in I let you pick 5 books from my collection to read." She said and gave him the famous bambi eyes. Jess aw 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 got 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.
Chapter Four - Flying French Fries
As Rory entered the diner with Jess close behind she sat down at the counter as Jess joined her.
"Luke can Jess and I have some fries to go please?" Rory asked as he walks out from the kitchen.
"Why? I thought you were going to town meeting." Luke said,
"I am and so is Jess but we can't go until we have fries otherwise he won't go. As if taking five of my books wasn't enough."
"Wait, Jess you're going to town meeting?" Luke asked completely shocked.
Jess just glared at Luke and said, "Yeah so what? You go besides if I go it involves borrowing five books from her book collection. Do you really think I am going to turn a offer like that down?"
"Luke can we just have the fries please?" Rory asked again, Luke sighed and asked, "Do I even want to know?"
"Nope, but you'll find out soon." Rory answered
"Fine." After saying that he walked into the kitchen as Rory turned to face Jess.
"So are you ready to go to town meeting and become an official town member?" Rory asked him
"Hey, I'm only going because we get to hit people with fries and I get to borrow some of your books. Oh, by the way when do I get them?" Jess said
"After the meeting."
Luke came back out and handed Rory a to go box of fries while saying. "Here you go"
"Thanks Luke, aren't you coming too?" Rory said taking the fries from him.
" Yeah you don't want to miss this one, I mean when picture the look on Taylor's face when I walk in there. I'm talking once in a lifetime look it will be priceless." Jess said
Rory thought about what Jess had just said then said, "Yeah let's go I want to see that now."
"I'll meet you guys there." Luke told them.
"Ok, later Luke." Rory called as she Jess headed to Miss Patty's for town meeting while she hid the fries under her coat.
"Ok, so we need to sit in the back and close to the exit in case we get attacked by the towns people." Rory said
"Don't you mean me instead of we might get attacked?" Jess asked
"Well yeah but I was trying to be nice." Rory answered smiling.
"Thank you for your concern let's just go"
(In The diner)
As Luke is starting to close up Lorelai comes in and Luke says, "Hey"
"Hey have you seen Rory and can I have some coffee please?" Lorelai said
"Yeah she and Jess headed to town meeting a few minutes ago with fries do you have any idea what that's about? Also you can't have coffee it is going to kill you." He answered.
"Evil diner man. Anyway no idea why, but I want to find out come on Lukey Luke lets go" She said as she ran around the counter and started tugging on the cuff of the sleeve on his flannel shirt.
"Fine, I'm coming, jeez you have the patience of a 2 year old you know that?" he said but Lorelai was already out the door.
As Lorelai and Luke walk up they see Rory and Jess talking outside of Miss Patty's
"Hey, I thought you would have been inside by now." Luke said
"Yeah well we started talking about books, authors and who was better so we got off task, anyway let's go inside now." Rory replied
As Rory, Luke, Lorelai, and Jess walk in everyone looks at them then back at Taylor as he says something.
"Late again as always Lorelai? Anyway..." Taylor said and he stoped when he saw Jess sit down with Luke, Lorelai and Rory. "You!" he said pointing to Jess. "What in the world would you little hoodlum be doing here? Planning on lighting off a stink bomb?" Taylor said.
Jess thought about that for a moment and smirked then said, "No, but thanks for the idea and if I did I wouldn't want to be in here."
"I'm watching you." Taylor said giving him what was supposed to be an evil look but just ended up looking like he had to use the restroom instead.
"Whatever Taylor just continue already."
Taylor sighed and continued, "Alright as I was saying we are having the annual Fall Festival"
Taylor went on about how important the festival. Rory leaned over toward Jess and whispered. "Come on let start throwing them now but remember only one at a time so who do you want to hit first?"
Jess smirked at Rory and thought; 'Wow I never knew there was a bad girl inside of her.' "Let's hit Kirk first." He answered. Lorelai saw the two and thought, 'She does have a little bit of me as a teenager in herself.'
"Let me throw some." Lorelai whispered and Rory gave her some French fries. And said, "Ok on three 1...2...3..." with that all three of them each threw a fry at Kirk and hit him in the head.
"Hey who did that?" Kirk asked as he stood up, while Lorelai, Rory and Jess tried with all there might to keep from laughing as Luke looked over at them while the Gilmore's' smiled and Jess smirked is famous smirk.
Taylor sighed and asked, "Who did what Kirk?
"Someone threw multiple fries at my head." Kirk said and was sitting down again. Looking back every now and then.
Taylor looked around the room and glared at Jess. "Young Man did you throw the fries Kirk."
"Nope, and why would I waste good food to throw at Kirk? I mean its Kirk." Jess said,
"Hey, what is that suppose to mean?" Kirk asked offended.
"Kirk sit down, I'm watching you." Taylor said again
"Sir yes sir" Jess said in a mocking voice as he smirked and both Lorelai and Rory laughed a little.
Taylor just glared the said, "Anyway again before we where interrupted..." He stopped as three more fries came and hit him one on the forehead another on his nose and the last at his eye, then asked. "Alright who threw those?"
No one raised their hands and the people in the room started to whisper to each other.
" I know who did it." Kirk shouted
"Who Kirk?" Taylor questioned wall looking around at everyone.
"It was one of those ghost spirits that I watched about on television the other day. Not the Casper kind but the kind from Ghostbusters kind."
"I saw that too..." Babbette said and they started to talk about it as Rory and Lorelai both grabbed a handful of fries and threw it at the crowd some landing is peoples' hair and Jess threw the container at Taylor's head and hit him. Everyone stopped and gasped that is except for Lorelai and Rory who where laughing while Jess smirked and Luke said, "What are you three doing? Are you insane?!"
Everyone looked at the four and the girls stopped laughing and looked at everyone, they were looking at them.
"So Lucas you know who threw them do you?" Taylor questioned
"Yeah Lucas who?" Lorelai mocked smiling about him being called Lucas.
"Uh..." Luke said wondering is he should tell on them or not. It was like 3rd. grade all over again.
"Fine don't tell me, Rory was it Jess who threw the fries?"
Rory looked like a deer in the headlights for a second then said. " Sorry but i'm going to have to go with Kirk and the whole ghost spirit thing."
Taylor eyed Rory then said, "That's it which one of you four did it?"
Just then Rory, Jess, and Lorelai pointed at Luke he looked shocked.
"What I didn't do that you little liars."
When no one was looking Jess and Rory started heading toward the door when Luke said. "Those two did" everyone looked at Rory and Jess.
Again a few people gasped as the saw Rory
"Miss Gilmore did you throw the fries?" Taylor asked
"I don't know did I Jess?" she asked him while looking at him.
"No I don't think so I think Luke is hanging around Lorelai to much and is starting to image things" Jess replied
"Hey" Lorelai said as if she was offended but thought 'She really does take after me, but I hope no too much like me.'
While they all were whispering again Rory started to run out of the building with Jess not far behind her they stopped when they had gotten to the bridge both laughing.
