A/N: Thanks for all the reviews. They amuse me. I'm really excited where this fic is going. So, the characters seem a little OOC...sorry bout that. It's also a little long...once I get to writing it's hard to stop me. Oh, and actual lines from the show was used and they are italicized. Well, hope you enjoy and don't forget to review. They're my inspiration!!

Jess and Rory finally made it to Rory's house. They hand walked hand-in-hand from the bridge, talking, laughing, and an occasional kiss. Once they reached Rory's doorstep, Rory found the courage to ask what this meant. "So, does this mean that we're…"

"Are you asking me out?" Jess asked with his signature smirk on his face.

"What? No, I was just wondering, that's all, just wondering…"

"Right."

"Oh, never mind, it was a stupid thought and…"

"Yes."

"What?"

"The answer to your question. Yes, we are."

Rory blushed a little. "Goodnight," she said as Jess grabbed her hands and pulled her in for one last goodnight kiss.

"Night."

Rory went inside and tried to sneak to her room without being caught by Lorelai. She had a wonderful night and really didn't feel like explaining things to a less than supportive mom.

"Well, you're a little late," Lorelai said catching Rory sneaking in.

"It's not past curfew."

"No, but it's kinda late for my teenage daughter to be running around with a rebel without a cause."

"Mom, can we please talk about this later."

"Well, remember a promise is a promise."

The next morning, Rory and Lorelai walked to Luke's in silence. Little conversation was made, which is highly unusual for them. Rory could tell her mom was worried about her dating Jess. Jess reminded her of herself when she was his age, trying to defy everyone and didn't care about anyone else. She thought he was bad news for Rory. They sat at Luke's counter and yelled "Coffee!"

Luke walked over to pour coffee for the two when Jess came down.

"Hi," Jess said.

"Hey," Rory said.

"Hi," Jess said again to Lorelai.

"Hi."

"Hi," Jess said one last time to Luke.

"Hi."

"I have to go to school," Rory said.

"Yeah, me too."

"Bye."

"Bye. Bye" Jess said to Rory and Lorelai.

They finished their 'byes' in a similar version as they said their 'hi's.' Once the two were gone, Luke asked, "What the hell was that?"

"That was epsidoe one of Rory and Jess: The Early Years."

"What?"

"Rory and Jess are together now."

"Wow. That's great."

"You think so?"

"Yea, Rory is a great girl. Hopefully, she rub off on Jess, motivate him to be better. Why? You don't approve?"

"I just think Jess is a bad idea. He is so much like me when I was his age."

"Yea but you turned out fine."

"It's different," Lorelai replied. She finished her coffee in silence.

Rory had successfully finished the day without having to confront her mom about Jess. She had simply told her that morning that her date was great and she was now dating Jess. Rory went straight home after school so she could change and go see Jess. She was quite surprised to see find Lorelai at home, waiting for her.

"We need to talk," Lorelai said as she walked into the house. Rory jumped at the sound of her voice.

"Ok." Rory sat on the sofa beside her mom.

"Rory, I want you to know that I don't approve of Jess."

"Mom," Rory stated as she attempted to leave.

"Wait! Just listen to me."

Rory sat back down on the sofa. "Fine."

"Rory, I'm really not telling you who date."

Rory sat in silence glaring at her mom.

"It's just that…" Lorelai searched for the words. She didn't want to her Rory's feelings; after all they were best friends. "He's a troublemaker Rory. He's like I was when I was his age and we all know where that got me."

"Mom, that doesn't mean I'm going to turn out like you."

"I know that."

"Well, then trust me. Trust my decisions. Give Jess a chance," Rory pleaded with her mom.

"I do trust you."

Rory shook her head in disappointment. She couldn't believe her mom was being such a hypocrite. She walked into her room and quickly changed. Once she was in the living room, Lorelai continued, "Be careful. That's all I'm saying."

"I will," Rory said putting her coat on.

"Going to Luke's?"

"Yes," Rory said and left the house.

Rory finally reached Luke's. She looked inside the diner through the glass windows and saw him waiting on customers. She wanted to go inside and see him but she didn't know what Luke or the rest of the town thought about their relationship. She really wanted to avoid another confrontation. Who cares who she dates if they life each other? Once she caught Jess' attention she motioned for him to come outside.

"Yea?"

Rory threw her arms around his neck and pulled him for a sensual kiss. She ran her fingers through his messy hair, while he played with the small of her back. Once their lips parted, Jess asked her, "What was that for?"

"I missed you," she said kissing him playfully.

"Yea?" Jess said as he kissed her back. Rory nodded her 'yes.' "Well, I missed you too." Jess said and pulled her in for another kiss.

Rory went back home a couple of hours later. She tried to stay out as long as possible so she could avoid the wrath of her mom. Rory entered her house and was once again surprised to find Lorelai in the living room waiting for her. She had been doing that a lot lately.

"I'll give Jess a chance," Lorelai told Rory while she still had chance.

Rory ran over to her mom and gave her a big hug. "Thank you!"

"I'm not making any promises."

"I'm going to call Jess," Rory stated as she was leaving the room.

"You just saw him."

"Yea, but that was fifteen minutes ago."

"Right. Sorry, I forgot how long fifteen minutes is," Lorelai stated to any empty room. She could slightly hear Rory talking to Jess and she just sat on the sofa in silence, regretting Rory, as well as her own, actions.
