"Rory, you can come out now. The squirrel went away." Jess was trying to hide his snickering, since it was so un-Jess like, but he wasn't able to and Rory heard him.

"No!" She yelled out the mesh window of the tent, which she had just unzipped. "I am staying right here for the rest of the night."

Lorelai's head appeared beside Rory's and her eyes looked luminous in the growing darkness. "Did it really go far away, Luke?"

Luke rolled his eyes and pointed vaguely. It went up a tree somewhere over there."

"I think we are going to stay in here." Lorelai glared at Luke a little bit, for his vagueness.

"It's only 8:30." Jess pointed out helplessly.

"Doesn't matter, it's getting dark outside. And that means that we won't be able to see if more squirrels try to come out and attack us!" Rory's sentence ended in a small squeal.

Jess huffed and stared at her face. "That squirrel was not trying to attack us, Rory. It was just doing what they do in the wild. We are in the out doors."

"I know that."

Lorelai peered at Luke while the two teens bickered and watched with a frown as he disappeared with a bucket in one hand.

"What's he doing?" She spoke loudly, effectively breaking into their conversation.

"Who?" Rory asked.

"Duh. Luke."

Jess looked over just in time to see his uncle disappear around the corner. "Probably going to see if he can find some night crawlers."

"Night what?" Lorelai squeaked.

"Night crawlers." Jess repeated as he headed over to his and Luke's tent.

"What in the world are night crawlers?" Rory managed to ask right before Jess disappeared.

Turning around, he squinted at them and shrugged a bit. "Worms."

The matter of fact tone in his voice did nothing to reassure the girls, who both muffled screams of horror.

"Did you say worms?" Rory asked in a horrified tone of voice.

"Yep. Night." Jess said as he stepped inside and zipped up his tent.

Rory sat staring out the tent window, at the dark scenery around them until an owl hooted somewhere nearby and with a shriek she quickly zipped the hole up and pounced onto the blow up bed, where Lorelai had already laid down.

Hearing the owl hoot once again, only sounding closer this time, she muffled a gasp and pulled her feet up farther under the blanket.

Jess heard the owl as well, and shook his head with a funny look on his face, knowing that Rory was probably freaking out.

"Rory."

No answer.

"Rory."

Still no answer.

"Sheesh. Rory!"

"What?"

"I was just gonna tell you not to worry about the owl." Jess's voice floated clearly into their tent.

She lay silent for a moment and listened to Lorelai's even breaths, which indicated that she had fallen to sleep.

A soft smile covered her face and she rolled onto her side. "Thanks, Jess. Goodnight."

"Night, Rory."

With a small smile on his own face, Jess closed his eyes and waited for Luke to come back from finding the worms, but fell asleep before he did.
