A/N: Did anyone else notice that there were a lot less Jess/Rory scenes in season 3 after they got together than before? Sorry random thought.
"Well that was fun." Luke said when he opened the door to the diner.
"I thought it was a very reasonable explanation." Rory smiled.
"And coffee would be good." Lorelai added.
"I'll make it." Jess offered. "And what do you want?"
"What makes you think I want anything?" Rory inquired.
"Because you always do." Jess replied.
"Marshmallows would be good."
"Marshmallows." Jess said walking behind the counter.
"If they happen to be mini-marshmallows and in hot chocolate even better."
"You know I like this service." Lorelai said as Luke finished set four chairs on the ground again.
"Don't even say it." Rory warned Jess.
"I didn't say anything."
"You were about to."
"That's a little 1984 of you." Jess remarked.
"Any idea what he's talking about?" Lorelai whispered to Luke.
"Not a clue."
"Thought police." Rory supplied.
"What?"
"In 1984 there are thought police." Rory explained.
"I thought 1984 was Big Brother." Lorelai recalled Rory mentioning something about it when they had watched Big Brother on TV.
"And the thought police and Room 101."
"There are lots of modern cultural references to it." Jess stated.
"They keep changing the history books so it matches up to whoever they decide that they are friends with that week." Rory added.
"They made a movie of it." Jess told Lorelai.
"Useful information."
Luke had told Caesar to leave the coffee pot, when he closed up since he knew Lorelai would want coffee. Jess had only had to wait for the water to warm up for Rory's hot chocolate.
He dropped marshmallows into it, and then added some more before Rory had a chance to complain.
"I'm going to take this to go." Lorelai said when Jess handed her the to-go cup since it would save extra washing-up.
"Jess…" Luke started.
"I know clean out the coffee machine and switch it off and lock up."
"Rory, remember our plans tomorrow." Lorelai told her.
"What time do you want to leave?" Rory asked.
"If we leave at about 11, we can get lunch first." Lorelai suggested.
"Sounds good."
Jess locked the door when they left.
"So." He prompted.
"So what?" Rory questioned then she realised. "I forgot to mention Mom and I made plans tomorrow didn't I?"
"Possibly." Jess said.
"Sorry. She saw this ad in the paper and called me the other day and asked if I wanted to go with her."
"Go where?"
"Sorry can't say." Rory replied.
"Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like it?" Jess asked.
"Don't worry, it's nothing crazy. But Mom needs someone to make sure she doesn't get side tracked in a baby store and buy everything that is pink."
"She's not going to wear pink all the time." Jess stated.
"I know, but she is a girl so pink is a good colour."
"You might want to mention other colours to Lorelai."
"We'll see." Rory replied. "I'm going to take this upstairs."
"I'll be up as soon as I've finished with the coffee pot." Jess told her.
"Okay." Rory kissed him. "And thanks for the hot chocolate."
"I had to make coffee anyway." He shrugged.
