"Let's go for another ride!" Lorelai suggests again for the umpteenth time.

Rory looks at her incredulously. "Okay." She agrees.

"But I'm driving." Lor takes the keys from her.

"Why?"

"We can't afford you driving so recklessly again hun." She smiles sweetly.

Rory rolls her eyes and pulls open the door and Lane is standing there.

"Guess who the number two 'Hottest Most Eligible Bachelors in New York' is?" She pushes her way inside and holds up the magazine. "Jess!" She shouts before they can comprehend, shoving the magazine into Rory's hand.

"Oh my god." She looks down at the page scanning it. "This is picture is…"

"Hot." Lane offers.

"Ya it is." Lorelai agrees.

"He's so…" Rory starts and then suddenly changes her mind. "…such a pig!" Lorelai and Lane look confused. "Listen to this," Rory explains. "'Is there anyone special in your life?'" She reads. "'Yes, about half the woman in New York—well the pretty ones anyway.'" Rory lowers the magazine looking at them.

"Who's number one?" Lor changes the subject.

Rory turns the page and sees 'Huntz' on the page. "Oh my god. Are they serious?"

"I know right." Lane agrees. "Jess is totally hotter than this Logan guy."

"Totally." Lor agrees. Rory glares. "Well at least read his answer."

"Yea, it can't be any worse, right?"

Rory looks at the article. "Wrong. Listen to this. Same question. 'No one's that special,'" Rory reads his answer. "'Well, except me anyway and I'm sure that doesn't count.'"

Lorelai laughs. Rory looks at her. "Sorry."

"They couldn't have picked two worse people." Rory says closing the magazine. "The day just got a whole lot worse." She folds her arms and sighs.

The doorbell rings. "You're just jealous because neither of them said you." Lorelai sing-songs as Rory answers the door.

A guy with a package is standing there. "Rory Gilmore." He holds out a package and a pen. Rory nods and signs the sheet before handing them both back. She closes the door and heads back to the counter and takes off the card attached to it.

"'Here's the tickets for the Bachelor Awards you requested.'" She reads. "'Jess'. I didn't ask for any tickets." Rory says opening the envelope. Lorelai walks over to the desk and sits at the computer. "But, then…who could've…" She ponders and then notices Lorelai. "…why would you do that?" Lor continues to type. "Mom, answer me."

"Well, I didn't do it on purpose." Rory looks at her skeptically. "Okay, well maybe I did, but come on, seriously tell me that you don't wanna go to this."

"I don't wanna go." Rory says seriously.

Lor shakes her head. "That totally wasn't a straight face."

Rory sighs. "Now I'm gonna have to buy a cute new dress to go so that he knows that I didn't ask for the tickets."

Lane looks confused. "Why can't you just call him?"

"What? No…" She shakes her head. "That would be rude…" Lorelai looks on expectantly. "…it's unheard of. I have to go."

"Uh huh." Lor nods knowingly. "Right. Too bad I can't go so that I can keep an eye on you and…"

"Yes!" Lane throws her hands in the air. Lorelai looks at her surprised. "Sorry." Lane quickly recovers. "This just means that I can go now."

"Then you can give me a play by play."

"Nothings gonna happen." Rory assures them. Lane and Lor look at each other skeptically.

Rory takes in the scene around her with a surprising amount of disbelief and abhorrence. Everywhere countless amounts of women were throwing themselves at all the bachelors. She would not subject herself to something so…so, humiliating. She sighs and walks over to the refreshment table.

"Every time I see you I think that you can't possibly look any better and you always prove me wrong."

Rory jumps but doesn't look surprised when she sees Jess. Realizing his statement she flushes at the underhanded compliment but quickly recovers. "Don't you have a mob to be fighting off or something?"

He shrugs. "I just left them at the door." He signals to the direction he came from.

"Shame."

"Not really." He shoves his hands in his pockets. "Do you know what happens back there? Constant screaming," He supplies. "They throw phone numbers and…underwear at you…" He trails off reliving the moment. "Well, it's not all bad…"

Rory rolls her eyes and faces the table again and feels a prickle down her neck. "Stop that." She runs her hands over the back of her neck.

He chuckles. "Stop what?"

"Watching me." She faces him again and tugs at the hem of her dress.

He watches the movement. "You can't blame a guy." He shrugs it off again. "I'm just admiring the view."

"Well don't." Rory says simply.

He looks around before facing her once again. "Look Rory, I like you. And let's face it, I know you like me and who wouldn't?" He asks rhetorically. "I mean, come on."

Rory laughs humorlessly. "Yea, right…the idea that I…" She points to herself and then back to him. "…could like someone like you is just…insane. It's ridiculous." She tucks her hair behind her ear and laughs awkwardly. "…I mean you're…you. You're a pig, you're arrogant and self-centered and…"

He holds his hands up smirking. "Please, save yourself the trouble of hurling adjectives at me as I've heard them all before." She glares but he continues anyway. "I may seem superficial now, but I'm just a regular guy, ya know, I want what my parents had. They were married for thirty years…" He ponders. "Maybe not by choice…" He trails off.

Rory softens. "A three decade marriage?"

"No, a good lookin' kid like me." He smiles cockily. Rory sighs and walks over to the punch bowl. "Okay, that…" He quickly follows and turns her by the elbow. "…was a joke." He continues. "They're having an after party later on. Come with me."

Rory hesitates. "…I can't. I came with Lane, and…" She looks around for her friend sees her talking to one of the bachelors. "…Uh…"

"I think she'll survive." He says sarcastically. "Come with me." He repeats.

"Um…" He tugs on her hand. "…Okay." She says finally. He pulls her towards the exit.

A/N: Reviews make me happy! And when I'm happy I update! Lol, review guys! :D Oh and its not that I like Logan more than Jess--believe me if you knew me you'd know I didn't--but I just that Logan would be #1 in a situation like this because of Mitchum. Sometimes I think if Jess didn't exist then--and only then--would I be able to tolerate Logan. Lol. Please don't hate me or don't let that discourage you from reviewing. :D
