Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls

A/N: I'm sorry if Richard was ooc in the last chapter. I'm not really good at writing him for some reason. Thanks for all the feedback. I can't believe how many reviews there are.

Rory walked around Stars Hollow with Lane barely listening to her best friend's ramblings on pregnancy. She couldn't get her mind off Jess. She had heard about his difficulties with her family members today. She had instantly called both her father and grandfather complaining about harassing Jess after his best friend just died. Both men claimed they didn't know about the death but if they had been so informed that they knew about her being dragged out of the bookstore they had to know that his friend had died.

"I don't want to be here" she blurted out.

"That was random" Lane laughed.

"I'm sorry what were you saying" Rory asked.

"Forget it I don't feel like repeating a whole 20 minute one sided conversation" Lane looked a little annoyed that her supposed best friend hadn't been listening to her.

"I'm going to call him" Rory walked out of the diner they had recently entered. She dialed the familiar number and waited for him to answer the phone.

"Hey Rory Jess is with a customer can I help you" Chris answered Jess's cell phone.

"Not unless you can somehow poof me back to Philadelphia" she joked.

"Sorry no can do but he's done so you can talk to him if you want"

"Thanks"

"Hey Ror" Jess's voice filled her ears and heart.

"HEY!"

"Ow"

"Sorry I miss you"

"I miss you too even though you deafened me"

"You're not deaf you can hear me and I know you didn't switch ears"

"Fine I'm not deaf but it was still loud"

"Uh huh"

"How are wedding preps going"

"Sookie and grandma did them"

"I hope Sookie did most of it"

"Yea she did the only thing my grandmother picked out was the silverware"

"She must've hated that"

"Legend has it she tried to throw one at a supplier"

"Nice"

"She likes Sookie though so she didn't really get mad at her"

"Well that's why she had to take it out on the supplier"

"Yea I guess the bachelorette party is tonight" Rory sighed.

"Why is that bad?"

"Because this is the make it or break it time"

"I'm sure it won't end the same way it did with Max"

"Yea but you never know"

"Don't worry so much those two were made for each other"

"Yea I know it's wrong but I kind of wish they wouldn't get married"

"Why?"

"I don't want to be your cousin"

"Go support Lane I bet she's staring at you through the glass threatening to drink your coffee and eat your fries if you don't get in there"

"She hasn't gone to that extreme of measures but close"

"I love you Rory"

"I love you more"

"Not possible"

"Bye"

"Bye"

There is about a 5 minute pause.

"You hang up first"

"No you hang up first"

"No you hang up first"

"No you hang up first"

"Ok I'll hang up"

Four minute pause.

"How old are you 13" Lane asked.

"You didn't hang up"

"Neither did you"

"You were supposed to hang up first"

"I have an idea" Lane took the phone "bye Jess she'll call you later" Lane closed the phone and handed it to Luke who was standing by our table looking very nervous. He put the phone on the counter and walked upstairs. Rory got up to follow but was pulled back by Lane who was now very pissed that Rory had barely said two words to her.

-------------------------------------

Luke sat at the bar drinking a beer listening to TJ try and convince Luke to have some fun. This was not Luke's idea of fun. The door to the bar opened and in came his not so smartass punk of a nephew. He got up and walked over to him.

"I'm so glad you're here" Luke said sincerely.

"Nice to see you too Uncle Luke" Jess smirked.

"If I leave can you pretend to be me?"

"Your real bachelor party with your real friends is at a bar two blocks down you want to walk or drive"

"Walk then they may not notice I'm gone"

As Luke walked into the small bar he saw Caesar, Jackson, and Andrew. He also saw Zack and Kirk ho he was guessing invited themselves.

"It was kind of last minute so I couldn't really round everyone up" Jess shrugged.

"No it's fine" Luke looked around "but what's with the Star Trek and Jimmy Buffet."

"Today is dedicated to all you weirdness" Jess's smirk turned into more of a facetious grin "roll the tape."

"Aw jeez"

-------------------------------------

"A scavenger hunt" Lorelai looked at the packet she was holding.

"Yep of everything you need for a perfect wedding night" Rory nodded.

"Now everyone split up into two groups" Lane told everyone.

One group was Lorelai, Sookie, and Anna. Anna had become considerably nicer since Luke and Lorelai had set a date. They were almost friends now. The second group was Lane and Rory who were fighting and Emily. Lorelai opened the packet and flipped through.

"Flowers, champagne, strawberries" Lorelai read "we could get this all at Doose's."

"You're right but you have to find the right one" Rory explained "it's hidden around town you'll find clues the first clue is in the packet."

"Oasis" Lorelai read "I have to go all the way to a desert to get the flowers."

"Everyone start" Rory yelled and started running toward Dwight's house.

"Oh" Lorelai caught on and followed.

-------------------------------------

"Thanks for this" Luke said as they walked out of the bar.

"It was the least I could do" Jess shrugged "do me a favor and don't tell anyone I'm here it's kind of a surprise."

"Then I guess asking you to stand up there with me is out of the question"

"Not really as long as you're ok with me getting there late."

"As long as you get there before Lorelai does"

----------------------------------------------

Lorelai stood with her hand on her knees trying to catch her breath.

"I can't believe we won" she said in between breaths.

"Why we had one that's pregnant and one in heels" Rory laughed.

"You did that on purpose" Lorelai shot up.

"Yep" Rory nodded.

"Thank you"
