"So, God created the world in six days, not seven?" Rory asked.

"Exactly." Jackson answered. "On the seventh day, Sunday, he rested."

Lorelai took a sip of her soda. "Okay, so is that where we get that Sunday is the day of rest?"

"Yep." Jackson smiled.

Sookie was turning pages in the bible until finally she found what she was looking for. "Aha! I told you Jackson. Abraham's name was initially Abram."

Jackson took the bible from Sookie and read the scriptures. "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. You're right."

"It was the one day I paid attention in Sunday school." Sookie smiled. "I always had a crush on the teacher, he was so handsome… but that day he was sick, and his mother substituted."

Lorelai and Rory laughed. Jackson, however, didn't find Sookie's statement amusing.

"You had a crush on your Sunday school teacher?" Jackson asked.

"Well, I was 13 and he was 18." Sookie smiled as she thought back to the young man. " His name was Josh Saunders. He was way out of my league. I didn't have a snow ball's chance in … well, you know."

"Oh, Jackson, lighten up." Lorelai replied. "There's no reason for you to be jealous."

"I'm not jealous." Jackson quickly remarked. "I just think it is unprofessional."

"Yeah…" Lorelai nodded her head. "Sookie is lucky she didn't get fired for that. Good think the boss never found out."

Jackson closed the bible. "Well, it's getting late. Time be going home."

"But Jackson it's only 8:00." Sookie replied. "We can hang around for a little longer."

"I'm tired Sookie. I think we should leave…. Together." Jackson added.

Sookie rolled her eyes. "Okay, sweetie. Let's go."

"Bye, Jackson…" Lorelai said. "Thanks for coming over tonight."

"No problem, Lorelai. We'll do it again soon."

"See you gals tomorrow." Sookie smiled as she closed the kitchen door behind her.

Rory closed her bible. "That was a good study session."

"Yeah, totally." Lorelai agreed. "I told you Jackson is a pro at this biblical stuff."

"Well, Sookie did have one up on him." Rory reminded Lorelai.

"Only because Josh was sick that day." Lorelai retaliated.

Lorelai glanced down at the ripped and tattered paper back bible Rory had sitting in front of her. "Is that one of the bibles they passed out around town last Easter?"

"Yeah." Rory answered. "I figured I'd keep it. I thought maybe I'd read it some time… and well… here we are … "

"Looks a little beat up." Lorelai noted.

Rory nodded. "Yeah, it went through the wash once… I think. But you can still read the words and everything."

Lorelai smiled. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself tonight, kiddo."

"I am too. Thanks for doing this for me."

"Anytime." Lorelai replied. "I really enjoyed it as well."

"Maybe we can start going to church together?" Rory asked, half of herself expecting Lorelai to disagree.

"Maybe." Lorelai smirked as she stood from her chair. "I'll keep you posted."

A warm feeling filled Rory's heart. "Deal."

"I'm going to head into the living room for a while. Watch some tv and catch up on celebrity gossip. You want to come with?"

"In a few." Rory answered. "I need to do something first."

"Okay." Lorelai patted her daughter on the head. "I'll keep the couch warm."

Lorelai exited the kitchen. Rory picked up the phone and walked into her bedroom. She closed the door and sat down on her bed. After several minutes of building up her courage she finally dialed the familiar number.

"Hello?"

"Hi… Shelia, it's Rory."

"Hello, Rory." Sheila answered in a dry tone.

"I just called to apologize for everything that happened."

"Mm Hmm."

"I didn't mean for anyone to get their feelings hurt." Rory twisted her hair around her finger. "Is Sheena home?"

"I'm sorry, Rory, but Sheena is not feeling well this evening."

"Oh…" Rory paused. "Okay… Um… Can you tell her I called?"

"I'll let her know."

"Thanks." Rory hung up the phone.

Rory felt worse now than ever. Now, Sheena was avoiding her all together. Rory resisted the sudden urge to cry. She had by far done plenty enough of that lately. She pulled herself together and walked into the living room.

"Did you know that Tom Cruise is a scientologist?" Lorelai asked.

"I've heard rumors." Rory replied.

"Weird." Lorelai squinted towards the TV set. "How far down on the list was that religion?"

Rory grabbed the afghan from the back of the couch and wrapped it around her. Lorelai who was entirely caught up in the television felt her daughter's head land gently on her shoulder. Lorelai placed her arm around Rory and turned herself into a human pillow. Within a few minutes, Rory had fallen fast asleep in her mother's embrace.
