Rory smiled and leaned her head back against the headrest of the trucks seat as she watched Stars Hollow go by.

All of the sudden she heard Jess groan. "Why'd they have to stick this stupid traffic light in the middle of town anyway?"

Rory looked over at him, grinned, and said one word. "Taylor"

Jess looked over at her, smiled back and took her hand, lacing their fingers loosely together.

Rory sighed in contentment and glanced out the window to see Lane waving frantically.

Laughing, Rory reached over and rolled the window down. "Bye, Lane"

"Bye, Rory. Have a good time!" Lane called.

Rory waved and rolled the window back up, just as the light turned green and Jess went under it.

Glancing in the rearview mirror she saw Lorelai waving at Lane and making faces out the window.

Rory just shook her head and sighed. "She's so funny"

"Who?" Jess asked.

"Lorelai"

"Yep" Jess said as he glanced in the mirror.

"Are you making sure every hair is in its place?" Rory teased him.

Jess grimaced and rolled his eyes.

"Nope. Just looking at your 'funny' mom." Jess said with a laugh.

In the jeep behind them, things were not so cozy.

"What do you mean, stop making faces, Luke Danes!?" Lorelai exclaimed indignantly.

"People were staring at you!" Luke told her with a huff.

"So what! We live in Stars Hollow; they don't get entertainment that often. I was just playing with Lane!"

"Well, it's embarrassing! You looked like a monkey!" Luke returned.

"Did you just call me a monkey?" Lorelai shrieked.

"No! I said you looked like one. There's a big difference!" Luke answered hotly with his eyes pointed straight ahead.

"Not in my book!" Lorelai exclaimed as she pulled their walkie-talkie out of her bag and held it up to her mouth.

"Rory!"

Rory looked at Jess and grimaced.

Jess shrugged at her and looked back at the road.

Sighing, Rory picked the walkie-talkie up and pressed the call button. "What is it, mom?"

"I don't want to ride with him anymore" she said, heavily accenting the word him.

"Why not?" Rory said with a sigh.

"Because, he called me a monkey!"

Rory almost choked on her suppressed laughter. "A monkey?"

"Yes! He said that I looked like a monkey when I was making faces at Lane!"

"Well, he's driving your car, so you have to ride with him. Please try and get along you two." Rory answered and then set her walkie-talkie down.

Laughing, she looked over at Jess, who just shook his head and continued down the road heading for Hartford.
