Author's Note: I'm sorry for not updating in a while, in reality I really should be studying for my mid-term exams, instead of writing this, but oh well. I promise really soon, I will have both Rory and Jess in Stars Hollow; I just wanted to develop the character of Lily for possible use later on in the story. Also, in my profile, I put a link to my YouTube account which has Gilmore Girl's videos I made. There is one that goes with the story Rory and Jess- A Rekindled Love.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Jess had been in California for three weeks and it was almost time for him to go back to Connecticut. He and Lily had become close, but not him and Jimmy. They talked somewhat and Jess found out where he got his love of books and music from, but he didn't particularly like his father. Just because he shared DNA with the guy, didn't mean he had to like him. It was Jimmy who never made the effort to know Jess; he had left right after Jess was born.

"So you're leaving soon?" Lily asked as she and Jess walked home. Jess had been meeting Lily at the bus stop for the past two weeks.

"In four days"

"Are you going to forget about me?" Lily asked. She had decided that she had 'figure Jess out'. "Will you call me?"

"Sure Lily, I'll call you." Lily was reserved around most people. She didn't appear to have any friends, but for some reason she liked Jess. Lily and Jess were both very blunt, they said what was on their mind and didn't particularly care about what other people thought about it.

Jess still hadn't decided what he wanted to do about school; he'd have to go back and take senior year over again, or take the test to get his GED. It would be a little odd, him going back to high school, and Rory starting her freshman year at Yale.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

In Stars Hollow Rory was studying for her last final. She couldn't believe that after she finished one more test, she was done with high school forever. It was about 6:00 and Rory knew her mother would be home soon, interrupting her peaceful, quiet environment that was perfect for studying. Hopefully, Lorelai would stop at the Diner and grab a cup of coffee before returning home. Recently, Lorelai broke off her short relationship with Alex because honestly, she didn't see it going anywhere; with Rory going to college and moving out soon, Lorelai was looking for a more serious relationship.

Around twenty past six Lorelai burst through the door. "Rory! I have a huge problem!" she called as she made her way to Rory's room. Immediately Rory looked up knowing by her mother's tome that this was not some silly problem, but a real one.

"What's the matter?" Rory asked, turning around in her desk chair as Lorelai sat on the edge of Rory's bed.

"Luke" Lorelai stated simply.

"What did he do?" Rory asked getting annoyed. Luke probably refused to give her coffee again. How could she fool me so easily, I really should be studying now!

"Nothing. I think I realized something; something bad."

"What did you realize?" Rory asked, letting her mind get away from her and hope that maybe her mother had finally realized her feelings for Luke.

"He was just standing there, asking how many cups of coffee I'd had, and suddenly he wasn't Diner Man Luke anymore, he was…"

"What mom?"

"I think I like Luke." Lorelai said quietly, almost ashamed.

Rory screamed in excitement and jumped up to hug her mother. "Finally! Finally you just opened your eyes and you finally saw it!"

"Saw what?" What are you talking about?"

"You saw the attraction that you and Luke have!"

"You think Luke and I have an attraction?"

"Yes, I've always hoped you would just open your eyes and see it!"

"Am I the only one who didn't see this coming?"

"I think so, I mean everyone thinks so, me, Grandma, Miss Patty, Babette, Jess, Taylor, Kirk…"

"God I am so far behind, wait you and Jess both think Luke and I are attracted to each other?"

"Yeas, because you are! Come on Mom, he gets jealous when you bring other guys into the diner or when you talk about you dates."

"Okay, so I realized this, but what am I supposed to do about it? Luke is with Nicole! And, come on if I dated him it may not end the way I would like it to."

"You and Luke are meant to be! It will end just the right way!"

"But what about Nicole?" Lorelai whined.

"Mom, Luke has been into you for as long as I can remember. I'm pretty sure that Nicole is just companionship. He's been pining for you; I doubt he'll just let you get away."

"How do you know that?"

"Because, Luke and Jess are very similar, it's the same situation with Shane. I was with Dean, Jess couldn't have me, so he went with Shane, partially to make me jealous, but that's beside the point. When Dean and I broke up, and I became available, Jess got rid of Shane."

Lorelai just looked at her daughter, and thought about what she had said. "I just have to think about this for a while" Lorelai said. She was frustrated, and unsure of what she wanted to do. She didn't have a great track record with guys. At one time she thought it was because she was waiting for Christopher. She always jumped into relationships without really thinking them out. Lorelai didn't want to do that this time, she wanted to be sure before she did anything. One wrong move and she could loose Luke as a friend; she didn't want that to happen.

"Alright, fine you go think and I have to study. I have my last final tomorrow."

"What's it in?"

"AP History"

"Alright, I'll let you study. Pizza for dinner?" Lorelai wouldn't normally let Rory waste away her night with her nose in a book, but Lorelai was deep in thought.

"Sure"

Lorelai left to order a pizza. Normally, she would have had it delivered, but she wanted time to walk, think, and clear her mind.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

A/N: I know it's short and has no Jess and Rory interaction, but I really hope to have the next chapter be longer, and have them interact. This is kind of a filler chapter, and I needed to set up the Luke/Lorelai relationship.

PLEASE READ THIS:

I need you guys to vote and tell me if you want Jess to go back to high school or get his GED. And. If you want him to continue living with Luke or get his own apartment. Also, if he gets his own apartment, where? (Stars Hollow, New Haven, Hartford, Woodbridge, Litchfield)
