Rory sighed. She had taken a bus down to Stars Hollow. She had a backpack with some clothes, just in case. She was wearing baggy clothes and had her hair tucked up into a baseball hat. She knew no one would recognize her figure either. They just might be curious about the newcomer. She would steer clear of crowded areas. She headed first to Lorelai's. No one was home. She passed by Luke's. Caesar was inside dancing with a mop and singing into a ketchup bottle. She rolled her eyes and hurried down a side street as she saw Patty coming. She waited until it was clear and then heard a familiar voice approaching.

"Caesars singing again!"

"Oh jeez."Luke put in.

"That is the funniest thing I've ever seen"a female said.

"You haven't met Kirk yet."Jess said.

"Oh yeah. Kirk's hilarious. Beside's I still want to see Jess dance!"

"Not gonna happen."Jess answered.

"Come on Jess, please for me?"

"Yeah for Charli?"Lorelai pouted.

"Not gonna happen."

"I for one, don't wanna see Jess dance."Luke said.

"I do."

"No you don't."Jess said again.
"Yes I do because then-"

"Who wants pie?"Luke asked, effectively cutting off Lorelai.

"Pie! Yes!"Lorelai gasped."Hungry Charli?"

"Starved! We ate like a whole hour ago!"

"I know! It's nuts! I think I'm becomming a 3rd World Country all on my own. you know all those skinny people?"
"You aren't a 3rd world country."Luke sighed.

"I think I am."

"You are not."Jess sighed.

"Luuke!"lorelai whined and Rory heard the door shut and the chattering stop as they all went into the diner. A bit later Ceaser came out and Rory walked slowly past the diner. Luke was serving pie to Lorelai, Jess, and a pretty blonde girl sitting at the counter.

"Who's that?"Luke asked.

"Who?"Lorelai asked eagerly diving into her pie.
"The person outside the window."he was careful not to look at them. Charli, Lorelai and Jess weren't so subtle. They all whipped around and stared. The stranger went running.

"I don't know."Jess said.

"Skinny."Charli commented.

"3rd World Country Skinny?"Lorelai asked.

"Bulimic skinny."Jess answered.

"That's it."Charli nodded and delved into her pie.
