Chapter 2
"So tell me the long story about Jessica." Dean said putting a piece of popcorn in his mouth.
"Oh right. So Jessica is from New York, she's Luke's sister Liz's kid, her mom couldn't handle her so she shipped her up here to Stars Hollow." Rory said
Lorelai came in the living room with a box of pizza.
"Oh are you telling Dean the latest town gossip?" she asked setting the pizza down and pouring hot sauce all over it
"Yup." Rory said
"So that's it? Liz couldn't handle her so now she lives here?" Dean said
"Yup." Lorelai and Rory said in unison
"She must be pretty bad." He said

"Okay quiz tomorrow on chapter 7." Ms. Harding said
Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz The last bell of the day rang.
Dean rushed out of class and started to walk up the stairs. As he was walking up another girl was walking down when she dropped her book. The girl, not paying attention, tripped right over the book and fell into Dean's arms. Dean held onto the railing so he didn't fall himself.
"Whoa…" the girl said picking herself out of Dean's arms
"I'm so sorry." She said nervously
"Hey it's no problem. Stuff like that happens all the time." Dean said
She laughed "shouldn't you be wearing tights?"
"Excuse me?" he said reaching down for her book
"Well usually when someone saves the day they're dressed like superman." She said taking the book from him.
They laughed.
"I'm Dean." He said putting out his hand
"Jessica." She said gladly taking it
"Oh so you're Luke's niece." He said
"That I Am." She said
"Oh…Okay."
"Well Dean…I don't want to hold you up I'm sure that you have a million things to do."
"It was nice to net you." he said
"You too." Jessica said with a smile
Dean started to walk away but Jessica called after him "Oh and thanks a lot."
"Hey just call me Clark Kent." He said

Jessica walked into the surprisingly empty diner and plopped her stuff at the end of the counter.
"Uncle Luke!" she called
"Yeah." He said coming out of the kitchen
"I'm home."
"So how was your first day Jess?"
"It was interesting."
"Really? Good… I think" he said
"Hey do you need help with anything?" Jessica said reaching for a doughnut
"That is for paying costumers, and no, in fact I have to run out for a bit so if you can hang here that would be great."
"Okay." She said
Luke walked out of the diner. Jessica went behind the counter and started to do her math homework, a few minutes later she heard the bell on top of the door ring.
"I'll be with you in a minute." She said not looking up to see who it was
She closed her book and looked up.
"Hi." She said walking over to the cash register to were Dean was sitting
"Hey." He said
"What can I get you?" she said
"Coffee." He said
Jessica pulled out a cup and the coffee pot from behind her and placed it in front of Dean.
They smiled at each other as she finished pouring the coffee and walked away.
"What time did you get home?" Dean asked
"About ten minutes ago." she said putting her books away
"You're done already?" Dean asked
"Yup."
"Hm." He said
"Hey don't let the blue streaked hair and the piercing fool you Dean. I'm not a slacker. I was my junior high school valedictorian."
"You have a piercing?" he said
Jessica stuck out her tongue to show him
"Well okay then." He said taking a sip of his coffee. "I didn't say anything about you being stupid." He said putting his hands up in defense
"No you didn't say anything but you were thinking it."
"No I wasn't." Dean said Jessica gave him a dirty look "Okay maybe a little." He said
"Ha! I knew it!" she said
Luke turned the corner and stopped in front of the diner. Lorelai who was turning the opposite corner joined Luke.
"Whatch'a looking at?" she said
"That." Luke said pointing his finger to Jessica and Dean laughing
"What? She made a friend." Lorelai said
"Yeah but with him."
" Ah Luke him is my daughters boyfriend. Thank you."
"Yeah but he's talking to Jessica."
"So what at least she has a friend Luke." Lorelai walked away and into the diner
"I already poured you a cup because I saw you out there with Luke." Jessica said
"Smart girl. You catch on fast."
"Hi Dean." Lorelai said
"Lorelai." He said back
Dean looked at his watch. "I have to go home and baby-sit Clara."
He stood up and pulled money out of his pocket.
"Hey don't worry about it free coffee for friends Just don't tell my Uncle Luke."
Dean laughed "Thanks see you later." He said walking out of the diner.
"And on that note I must depart. Thanks for the free coffee I will be back for more later." Lorelai said exiting the diner
Luke came back in the diner to find Jessica wipping down the conter
"Where's Dean?" he asked
"He just left." She said
"Oh."
"Why donbt you like him?"
"I like him."
"Uncle Luke I can always tell when you don't like someone. Why don't you like him?"
"I like him!" he said more stern
"Okay." Sje said giggling
