Snippet 3(?)- Cones and Cars

"We need ice cream," Jess said, leaning against the arm of the couch.

"There's probably some in the freezer," Rory jerked her head to the kitchen.

"There's no cones."

"And?" Rory asked, taking a handful of marshmallows from the bowl sitting in front of her.

"I need cones." Jess smirked.

Rory glanced at him. "And how do you expect to get them?"

His smirk grew.

--

"See, it's always better in cones," Jess said.

"True true," Rory agreed.

"What kind of person would want to eat it out of a bowl?"

"Someone crazy, that's for sure," she said.

"Hold on, take the wheel, I'm dripping," Jess said, releasing it.

"Jess!" Rory panicked and took the wheel. "You're supposed to keep your hands on the wheel at all times!"

"I'm dripping!" He exclaimed.

"That's the first thing they teach you in driver's ed!"

"Huh. Guess I shouldn't have fallen asleep in that class then," he smirked, taking back the wheel.

"I'm never getting in a car with you again."

"It's your funeral." He shrugged.

"It will be if I get in another car with you."

As they pulled up to the diner, Jess braked the car back and forth teasingly. The vehicle jerked rapidly, and rory gasped, grabbing his arm tightly. He parked in smoothly and slowly and she turned her withering stare at him.

"I despise you." She slapped his arm, glaring at him.

"Ow!"

"Baby," she said, a smug smile on her face. "You are not driving me anywhere ever again."

"Ok by me, I've got enough bruises on my arm." He said as they got out of the car.

"Luke is sooooo gonna take your car away," she said.

"Please, like you're going to tell him?" He arched his eyebrows.

"Yep."

"What kind of person would snitch on their best friend?" He said in a mockingly sincere tone, putting a hand to his heart. "I'm hurt."

She rolled her eyes

"After all these years of friendship," he continued dramatically. "Everything we've been through."

Rory winced, remembering a few months back at a certain party. "Fine, I won't tell." She said.

He laughed lightly. He put his arm on her shoulder like when he used to tower over her a few years back, using her body as an arm rest. She nudged his arm off and rolled her eyes. He playfully pushed her sideways, and she could barely hold back a swarm of giggles as they entered the diner. She nudged him back.
