Thank you to all of you who reviewed I appreciate it. Its always the same people for ever story I write and I want everyone to know how much I appreciate it. Reviews are always appreciated.
gilmoregirlsfanatic: I'm so glad you like the idea. The reason I made Luke's into a club is because of two reasons. One bc in every television show that did an episode back in time like this they always made the restaurant that everyone hangs out in a club where there's a ton of dancing. The second reason is because after watching one of my favorite movies A League Of Their Own, which also takes place in the nineteen forties, they have a scene in there where all the girls are dancing. As I was sitting there watching I imagine in my head Lane's Band playing in the background with all the famous Stars Hollow couples dressed in Forties attire. Kinda like in the episode They Shoot Gilmores don't they.
orangesherbert7: This story is going to be both a Rory/Jess and a Luke/Lorelai. Some chapters will be more devoted toward one couple. There's one chapter completely devoted to Luke and Lorelai. It's a very emotional chapter and there are going to be so many emotions expressed in it. Logan will also be brought into this story as a threat towards Jess and Rory. If you look at my other stories you'll probably figure out the outcome for Rory and Jess.
LLmeanth: I'm glad you like that. I'm going to be doing a lot of stuff like that in this story just because of the quick change of the setting's and stuff. That has to have been one of the nicest reviews I've ever received. So thank you, and by the way sorry for putting spoilers in my author's note in my last story, I'll try to be more careful about that.
nessquick13: Glad you love it, here's the next chapter
Scottjunkie: I'm so glad that you love this idea. I love it to. It popped into my head and I knew I had to do it. There is going to be at least one scene with the adventures of Luke and Jess while fighting. This scene will play a major role in the outcome of this story too, so stay tuned
Kylie1403: You will know what's going to happen with Jess and Rory after this chapter but just to warn you I'm bringing Logan back to shake things up a bit. And someone will die, but I'm not saying whom.
Thanks for all your reviews and please hit that button again once you're done
And Now
Chapter Two: Shipping out
Jess spent the rest of his time that week trying to get Rory to talk to him. He went to her place she and Lane shared. He went to the bridge, Andrews's bookstore, Luke's, her job at the hospital, anywhere she usually went he went but he never got a hold of her. He got so desperate that he went to Lorelai and asked her to make sure Rory was there when he shipped out. Lorelai told him that she would give her the message. He had everything that he was going to say to her. It was all inside his head. Now all he had to worry about was Rory being there, because he knew despite Lorelai's efforts three was a chance she wouldn't come.
The day for then men's departure it was a cold dreary rainy day. Black umbrellas covered the train station. Women sending them men off were dressed in their skirts and dresses wearing their trenchcoats and scarf's around their heads to keep their hair dry. The men were dressed in their uniforms; each looking fit for the job they were about to partake in.
Jess stood there at the train station wearing his neatly pressed uniform with his duffel bag next to him. He was leaning against the wall playing with the box inside his pocket. The conductor just made the first call for the men to start boarding the train. Everyone was here. Everyone except Rory and come to think about it he hadn't seen Luke or Lorelai either.
A few minutes later after the second call was made he saw Luke walking briskly with Lorelai closely following him on his arm.
"You almost missed the train"
"Sorry we got Kinda side tracked and lost track of time" Lorelai said mistiveiously and Luke chuckling softly
"Ew gross bad mental image"
"Sorry"
"Where's Rory, did you tell her to come, is she on her way"
"I told her to come Jess but I don't know whether or not she is"
"Did you tell her I had something to ask her and that I really wanted her here"
"I told her everything you told me to tell her"
"Where could she be, she has to come, she wouldn't just let me leave without saying goodbye"
And then he heard her voice from behind "I almost did" His head quickly turned and he rushed to her "I was so afraid you would come"
"I almost didn't"
"What changed your mind?"
"Well I remembered that this wasn't your doing and that you had no choice in the matter and I remembered everything my mom told me and then the most important part was I remembered how much I love you and how much I'm going to miss you and I just couldn't let you leave not without telling you all this.
"I love you so much Rory"
"I love you to Jess"
"Come here"
"What"
"Come with me"
"Jess your train is going to be leaving soon"
"Just follow me"
Meanwhile- Luke and Lorelai were wrapped in eachothers arms, saying goodbye, and trying to stay warm.
"I had fun these last few days" Lorelai whispered in Luke's ear
"Although we never really left that our room"
"I didn't hear you complaining"
"Can't argue with that"
"So this is it"
"Yeah it is"
"I don't want you to go"
"I know, I don't want to go either"
"You come home soon, quick and safe, you promise"
"I promise, you take care of yourself too, don't want anything happening to you while I'm gone"
"I will"
"I love you Lorelai"
"I love you too"
They both inched even closer together sharing one last passionate goodbye kiss, putting all their worries and fears into that kiss and embracing each other so hard so that it would make up for the times that they wouldn't be able to even though they both knew it wasn't enough.
"Jess, what's the matter with you, your acting like a crazy person" Jess rushed Rory over to a corner where this moment could be completely private.
"Stand right here" Jess positioned her right in the middle straight in front of him.
"Jess what has gotten in to you"
"Perfect"
"What's perfect" Jess got down on one knee right in front of her.
"What are you doing" Jess reached into his pocket and took out the box he was playing with earlier.
"Oh my god"
"Rory Gilmore, will you marry me'
"Are you out of your mind"
"Apparently"
"Yes"
"Yes?"
"Yes!" Jess stood up and slipped the simple engagement ring on Rory's delicate finger. He looked her in the eyes for a quick second before kissing her. God he was going to miss doing that.
"We're getting married!"
"Yes we are"
"When"
"Right when I get home"
"I can't wait"
"Me either"
"ALL ABOARD" the conductor called
Jess and Rory ran to the train and meet with Luke and Lorelai. Then men kissed their sweethearts one last time on the cheek and waved goodbye before hopping onto the already moving train.
Lorelai and Rory watched the train roll down the tracks. Rory placed her head on Lorelai's shoulder as they watched their men leave with tears rolling down their face. Lorelai looked down at the ground and noticed Rory's hand.
"What's that"
"An engagement ring"
"He didn't"
"He did"
While they were on the train Luke looked at Jess
"So did you ask her?"
"Yep"
"And?"
"She said yes"
"Congratulations"
NEXT: The men have been gone at war for a little over a month. Lorelai is keeping herself busy and is feeling ill. Rory is still working at the hospital and meets intriguing young solider while she's there.
