AN-Here's the next chapter. Thanks to everone who reviewed:

twilight xx3, GrlwitSpunk224, EEL0404, Arice, Princess of Rivendell-Thanks guys! Here's the update you asked for!

CaFfInEcUpWoNdEr02- Thanks. A sequel? I'll either do that or make this one pretty long. Preference?

Tookie Clothespin-Thanks, and by the way, I love your penname! Hope you don't get too many catalogs:-D

vaguelygouged-You definitely deserve your own shout out. Yeah, my guys pretty cool. I'm lucky. Not quite like Milo but he's still pretty hot. And yes, Milo is the hottest guy ever. Also, that was the irony. I never said whether any of that stuff with other people WOULD happen. I just suggested it to get your brains working overdriver. Only i know the outcome. Your friend Chris sounds pretty cool and it has kind of inspired me because don't worry, I hate Rory being a total prude too. Anyways, you did take more than 15 seconds. You blew the competition out of the water and I really appreciate your review. Keep reading! Thanks!


Rory worked mornings and lunches but got off at 3. Jess had a job and got off at 2. They usually spent the afternoons and evenings together. She only had a week and a half left and they were going out with his friends.

The two guys that were at his house the first day she came were Chad and Tommy. They were meeting them on the boardwalk.

Rory dressed in a jean mini skirt and a light pink tank top. She had grown very tan over the weeks. She met Jess and they headed hand in hand to meet his friends. When they arrived they found each guy paired off with a girl.

"Hey, Jess, Rory, this is Tiffany and Brianne. Girls, this is Jess and Rory."Chad introduced them.

"Should we go?"Tommy asked.

"Where are we going?"Rory asked.

"I dunno."Tommy answered.

"Let's go bowling."Brianne suggested.

"I hate bowling."the three guys said at once.

"Let's go to the movies."Tiffany said.

They managed to agree on this and walked to the theater. Rory laid her head on Jess's shoulder once inside and suddenly he was shaking her awake.

"We're gonna go home now guys."He pulled her gently out of the chair.

"Okay, bye Rory, bye Jess."

"Bye."Rory mumbled sleepily.

"You okay Rory?"Jess asked her as they walked home. HIs arm was clasped tightly around her waist and she leaned on him.

"I'm fine. Just sleepy."

"Okay. Well you have worked a few extra shifts lately and then you spend a lot of time with Lily at the beach."

"Yeah."Rory nodded. By the time they reached the house Rory was completely reenergized.

"Come on, let's get food!"she led the way into the kitchen.

Jimmy was snacking on potato chips when they found him. Rory instantly grabbed some and then got out the materials to make banana splits.

"Jimmy, Jess, want one?"she asked.

"Sure."they both answered.

"Lily, Sasha, want a banana split?"Rory called.

"No thanks!"

"Yes please!"Lily came quickly into the kitchen followed slowly by Sasha who sat with an apple in hand.

"Can we play apples to apples?"Lily asked.

"Sure. Go get it."Sasha said.

Rory finished the ice creams and passed them out while Lily dealt the cards.

"I go first."Lily said. Soon it was down to the end. Jess and Rory were both one card away from winning and Rory had to pick the winning card. If she picked Jess's she would lose, if not she could have another chance to win.

"hmm."She pondered outloud."Pretty...Marilyn Monroe, a sunset, my first love or Ernest Hemingway. Interesting options. Not Hemingway. Not my first love. I'll go with a sunset?"she picked warily knowing jess knew how she loved sunsets but so did Lily.

"yes!"Jess exclaimed as he won.
"Rory! You should have picked your first love!"Lily exclaimed.
"Or Marilyn!"Jimmy added.

"Ernest?"Rory questioned Sasha.
"I don't know. I didn't have any other good cards."She shrugged.

"Your first love!"Lily said again.
"Why, lily?"Jess asked.

"Cuz, you're pretty."she teased.

Rory burst out laughing."Jess, you're pretty!"

"Am not. And I wasn't her first love, Lil."

"You aren't?"

"Dean was."Jess cringed as he said the name. Rory smacked him playfully.

'Dean? Sounds like a weird guy name." Lily commented.

"It is a weird guy name."

"Jess."Rory said warningly.

"Sorry."

"S'okay. But I'm tired now. I'm gonna head to bed. Night everyone!"Rory hugged Lily and had a kiss for Jess before turning into bed for the night.


AN-Okay, so 7 reviews(including two from someone) isn't bad. But as of now, I'm not posting the next chapter until I get 10. Say what you feel. I'd rather get reviews that it sucks, or with constructive critcism than none at all because I always try and fit your ideas in my story unless they're way out there from where I'm trying to go. That goes for everyone. Ideas are welcome. Also, what do you think about CaFfInEcUpWoNdEr02's suggestion? Should I make this fairly long and end it or make this slightly shorter and do a sequel? (fyi, it may end up fairly long either way! my way of making up for fading memories...btw I'm considering, dumping the last chapter or two of that and rewriting a new, longer, better ending. Any opinions on that if any of you have read it?) God, if you read all this, you deserve an ice cream sundae, twenty dollars, and a loud round of applause. So pretend I gave them to you. Thanks guy! 10 REVIEWS OR NO MORE CHAPTERS!(i know, i'm evil)
