Rory woke up to find Jess watching her.
"This is starting to become a habit." Jess said.
"It's not a bad one." Rory smiled. "Sorry I fell asleep on you."
"Its okay, Lorelai and I had a nice chat about Colin Firth and his wet shirt."
"She had a hard time deciding whether she preferred him or Aragon after she saw Viggo Mortenson with short hair."
"I'm guessing this is the Lord of the Rings Aragon."
"Right." Rory confirmed. "Aragon came up when Mom was trying to figure out if she was dating Luke."
"She had to figure it out?" Jess questioned.
"Luke invited her to your mom's wedding, and they waltzed, I still can't believe Luke can waltz, and then they had a moment when he walked her home and he invited to a movie. Mom dragged me to the dinner to see if there was anything different about Luke and she took me outside and told me what happened to get my opinion on whether they were dating. She didn't know if Luke had asked her to a movie because he wanted to get out of the house and how did she put it 'one the women currently sitting at home waiting for a man like Aragon'. It was funny when we went inside, Luke came over to ask if everything was okay and she very gracefully knocked everything on the coffee cups onto the floor as she fell onto the chair."
"Your mother is a very strange woman."
"She'd take that as a compliment." Rory told him.
"So do you have a preference?"
"For Lord of the Ring actors?"
"Sure." Jess replied.
"It is a tossup with him, Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood; although with his colouring he really should have eyes that blue."
"Right."
"If you're looking for a compliment it's too early in the morning." Rory told him.
"Lorelai said to tell you that Luke wants to leave by 9.30 so he's back in time for the lunch rush."
"Okay." Rory agreed.
"And I have to get up because I really need to go to the bathroom."
"Sorry." Rory moved to let him up.
"Want anything since I'm up?"
"A bottle of water." She replied.
When Jess left the room Rory found something suitable to wear for moving, most of her clothes with loose waists or that stretchy she'd had packed, Lorelai was already planning a shopping spree.
"One water." Jess handed it to her.
"Thanks."
"So looking forward to being back at Yale?"
"I like school, but you're the one who is going to have to deal with all the town gossips."
"Rory they didn't like me the first time I came to town, they didn't like me when I came back, this isn't going to any different."
"It probably will be."
"They'll have something else to gossip about or Taylor will be organising another one of his stupid town fairs."
Rory smiled.
"What?" Jess asked.
"Nothing."
"Oh it's something." Jess countered.
"You're just more like Luke than you think."
"Am not."
"Whatever you say." Rory said. "I'm going to take a shower and get dress, stick around?"
"Sure."
"By the way good morning." She gave him a quick kiss.
"Morning."

"What smells good?" Lorelai asked as she yawned walking into the kitchen.
"I made breakfast." Jess replied.
"You made breakfast." Lorelai repeated.
"I work at the diner, I can cook."
"Where's Rory?"
"Taking a shower." Jess replied. "Do you want some?"
"What are you making anyway?"
"Bacon, eggs and waffles."
"You made waffles?" Lorelai questioned.
"You had toaster waffles." He shrugged.
"Breakfast sounds good."
