I'll see you in Washington
Disclaimer-Oh yeah, so I'm really Amy Sherman Palladino and when I'm not writing Gilmore Girls-because David Rosenthal has been killed by me-and not basking in my sheer brilliance I like to come onto this little website and make up stories about Gilmore Girls instead of actually making them the plotline. Oh, yeah, and I'm queen of the world.
A/N-Hey, so I have no excuse for this insane longness it took me to write besides laziness and school. And after all that, this chapter isn't even that good. I'm really angry at myself, if that makes you feel any better Ok, time for my list of fabulous people.

Chapter 6
"Hey, umm Mom, I need to talk to you." Rory said hesitantly.
"Ror? What's wrong?"
"Um, well, I've got a little explaining to do." She answered
"Uh oh…" Lorelai muttered, knowing that nothing good could come of this.
"Yeah, ok, but first I need you to promise that you will not interrupt or freak out at any time throughout this monologue I will proceed into, no matter how angry or how intense your inner flip-outs are ok?" Rory asked.
"Rory, you're getting mommy worried here, it would be best if you just tell me what the hell is going on so I can sigh with relief and say 'oh thank goodness' because what you've just told me is nothing that will truly worry me. That is what's going to happen right?"
"Um…well, depends on how much you love me these days." Rory said quietly.
"Rory?"
"Ok well, I'll start at the beginning, so at Sookie's wedding Jess showed up and…."
Rory went on for the next 25 minutes explaining every last detail to Lorelai, relieved to finally confide in someone but dreaded her mother's response. When she finally finished she took a deep breath and braced herself.
"Hon, this was a long time coming, you knew it, I knew it, Dean knew it, Jess knew it, Luke knew it, Miss Patty knew it, Babbette knew…"
"Ok! I get it!" Rory interrupted.
"Sorry…This is a lot of information for me to digest and half of me is having a mini heart attack while the other half is saying, it's going to be alright, Rory's careful. I just wish you two weren't alone in a city where no one's watching out for you. You're really falling hard aren't you babe?" Lorelai questioned
"Yeah, I think I am. Mom, you know that nothing is going to happen, right?"
"Yeah, I know it's just…Jess. Jess, the guy I pushed away for such a long time and resisted and hated and now he's in Washington with you, stealing your heart away bit by bit and melting it into a pile of mush."
"You make it sound like I'm a mindless idiot being brainwashed by him." Rory said.
"Well, if the shoe fits…" Lorelai replied jokingly.
"Mom!"
"Sorry, sorry. Carry on." Lorelai said.
" So when I go back to Stars Hollow what am I going to do? There's no way to explain me being with Jess when I've been gone for the past month and a half."
"I don't know hon. You could both pretend you weren't really together but sneak out every night dressed in Zorro masks and meet at a previously decided location."
"Why the Zorro masks?" Rory asked.
"So nobody can tell who you are, duh!" Lorelai explained
"Some big help you are." Rory muttered.
"I know, aren't I wonderful?"
"Goodnight Mom." Rory said.
"Night hon."
"Wait Mom, one more thing, do you think you could not tell Luke that Jess is here? That wouldn't be good if he knew because it would probably end up with Jess in a headlock about thirty times more serious than the one Luke gave Dean if you know what I mean."
"Um, well.."
"Mom please!"
"Ok Ror, I won't tell him but I don't like this." Lorelai relented.
"I know, I'm sorry. Thank you Mom." Rory said with relief.
"You're welcome."
"Kay. See you in another 3 weeks and a half weeks."
"I'm counting down the days." Lorelai replied.
And with that out of the way, Rory climbed into bed and went to sleep, deciding she could worry in the morning.

When Rory woke up she saw Paris pulling a shirt over her head. She hadn't seen Paris in a while, she'd had been pretty busy lately.
"Hey, when'd you get here?" Rory asked.
"Last night at about 11:30. You were already asleep."
"Yeah." Rory said slowly, remembering last night's events.
"So, do you think I could see Tristan sometime soon? I want to catch up with him. It's so weird you ran into him here."
"Tristan's gone." Paris stated.
"What?" Rory questioned.
"He's gone. He tried to make a move on me last night and I told him I had a boyfriend and that I couldn't do this and long story short, he called a cab, stomped out of his apartment and drove straight out of the city." Paris explained.
"Oh. Wow. Wait, you have a boyfriend?" Rory asked.
"Jamie, I guess. It was my only defense against Tristan plus, Jamie and I are kind of dating. I really like him."
"Paris, that's great!" Rory exclaimed
"Yeah, I guess. How's it going with you and James Dean?" Paris asked.
"Jess? Um, it's going. I don't know where or how I just know that it's going." Rory said, sighing. Paris nodded and reminded Rory that they had breakfast with the Eastern Political Representatives.-(AN, I just totally made that name up, I don't know about this important kind of stuff)

Jess was completely at a loss of what to do. He and Rory could try the long distance relationship for a while but was what they had even a relationship? Whatever it was, it was going too fast for both of them. Jess had never been so confused with a girl. He wanted this to work, but did she? He let his mind drift back to the times before, the innocent banters they shared, that night they shared out in the dark, just wandering and following their instincts, ending up on top of a building and not even caring. Did this have to be so confusing? Of course it did. She was Rory, and Rory deserved the best, no matter how confusing the best was.

They went an entire day without seeing each other, neither knowing what they would do if they did happen to run into one another. The confusion between them was overwhelming and Rory couldn't take it anymore. She was lying in her bed, tossing and turning, when she jumped up, grabbed her key and marched out of her room. She pounded on his door and heard footsteps ambling towards her on the other side of the hard wood. When he opened it she could see he had been in bed but hadn't been asleep because his eyes were very much awake, and surprised to see her standing there. Rory looked down and checked her watch. It read 10:17.
"Come with me, Jess. Please." She said, her tone wavering slightly. He nodded wordlessly and stepped into his sneakers by the door before following her to the elevator. When they finally reached the bottom and stepped out into the night they just walked. Finally he stopped and looked at her inquisitively. He was patient but he needed to know what they were doing out here, if not just walking. She saw him looking at her and she turned so that their eyes met in the dark. She knew he wanted answers, but so did she.
"Jess, what are we doing? What is this thing we're having? I really need to know. Are we together or what? And what happens when you go back?" She asked, bubbling over with questions.
"What do you want this to be?" Jess inquired quietly.
"I want this to work." Rory replied, bluntly but just as quietly.
"Then we'll make it work." He said, his insides beaming happiness.
"And when you go back?" Rory prompted.
"We'll talk." He said.
"Ok. You're leaving tomorrow?"
"Yeah, the bus leaves at 9:15 in the morning." He answered.
"Ok. Well, goodnight." She said and rushed back into the building where she climbed into bed, leaving him standing in the cold, looking at her retreated form, bewildered by Rory Gilmore once again.

I'm going to make this work. A voice whispered in her head, and she hoped it was telling the truth. She knew she could do this; she'd already fallen under his spell. There was no use fighting in. She couldn't get him out of her mind, she thought about him every night, and every time she saw him she could swear her blood stopped flowing through her veins for a moment. Yes, I'm going to make this work, She decided.
AN: Hey, so there's the 6th chapter. I will try and get out the next chapter quicker than last time. I'm giving major writer's block though. If anyone has suggestions, please PM me…thanx! Of course, who can write a story without ReVeIwS???-Subtle enough for you?
