Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls, or Ramones lyrics

Rory and Lorelai drove home and Rory went crazy looking for an outfit. She finally settled on a burgundy dress that Lorelai thought was too dressy, not that Rory really cared at this point. On their way to the festival they made a stop at the unusually loud home of Jackson and Sookie. They looked into the door and realized that Sookie had completely transformed their living room, and Jackson wasn't too happy about that. The fight was becoming louder and louder by the second so the two girls decided that they would stop by later.

When they finally got to the festival they were listening to the band repeat the same two or four lines over and over and watched how excited Taylor was. While Lorelai was casually insulting him, Rory's eyes drifted elsewhere. She was searching for him Jess and hoping that he really had come like he said he would.

"What are you looking for?" Lorelai asked, bringing Rory out of her daze.

"What?" Rory asked confused, "Oh nothing."

"Sure! You're looking for Jess aren't you?" Lorelai whispered.

"No!" Rory said dumbly, "Well, maybe. Yeah I am," she reluctantly gave in, not wanting to sound like a lame girl who can't go ten minutes without seeing her boyfriend, well almost boyfriend. Lorelai snickered at her daughter playfully.

"He's over there!" Lorelai pointed at a tree. Rory's eyes lit up as she saw him leaning on a tree reading, of course.

"How is it that you found him before I did?" Rory asked.

"I don't know," Lorelai mumbled. Rory stared at him, not moving, "Go get him!" her mother encouraged. And with a bright smile, Rory was off.

Jess leaned himself on a tree that was holding him still. He couldn't help replaying the kiss that happened earlier in his head. Once again, he couldn't focus on what he was reading. Part of it was his thoughts of Rory, but it was also because of that "swanky" band from New York singing the same thing over and over it was enough to drive him madder than this town had already managed to make him. He was baffled how one girl can convince him to join in multiple insane events this town held.

"So can we talk, or is the book too interesting?" He heard Rory's voice announce unexpectedly. He glanced up and closed his book, not bothering to mark his page because he'd have to re-read it anyway.

"Talk." He replied. He just realized how beautiful she looked in her dress.

"Well," she started. Jess put his hands lightly on her waist and pulled her closer. She continued distractedly, "over these past 6 weeks while I've been gone, I've done a lot of thinking about our situation. Have you?"

"Oh yes, tons!" He answered sarcastically. Rolling her eyes at him, Rory went on.

"Well I have managed to come to a decision, and yourself?"

"Yeah, a conclusion crossed my mind."

"Well what's yours?" she asked playfully.

"What's yours?" he retorted with a smirk.

"I asked you first," she whined

"That's not fair!" he complained. Neither of them wanted to share their feelings in fear of rejection. Jess was more than ready to put up a fight, but then she started pouting, why oh why did she have to pout. He sighed heavily and bared his emotions, a rare thing, "I think we should be together."

"You want to be my boyfriend?" She sang to the tune of "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend."

"Well if we're quoting Ramones lyrics, what do you say?" He stared into her blue eyes that were especially sparkly, waiting for her answer.

"Listen to my heart," she said, continuing the quoting Ramones lyrics.

"I don't care," he teased. She smacked him playfully.

"You're mean!"

"I don't think that's a Ramones song," he smirked.

"No, I'm all out," she giggled, and that made Jess's insides do a little jump for joy.

"So," he said seriously, "what do you think?" Rory took her hand and pushed a hair out of his face, which sent chills through his body.

"I think it's a great idea," she pulled his face to hers and kissed him deeply.
