Takes place right at the end of "Nag Hammadi Is Where They Found the Gnostic Gospels" Jess and Rory are leaving together...will it be forever?
I got a few good guesses! Is it Dean, Lorelai, or still a stranger? More clues in this chapter!

"Rory we're far away from Stars Hollow, you should really call your mom, I don't want her to worry."

"You hate my mom!"

"Not true! I just don't appreciate how she always accused me of doing something bad."

"Like taking Dean's bracelet?"

"Exactly!"

"But you did do that Jess."

"I know I did, but she still accused me."

Rory laughed and took her cell phone out of her pocket. She dialed home first and when no one answered she called her moms cell.

"Hello dear daughter of mine!" Lorelai answered on the second ring.

"Mom?"

"No, sorry Rory. It's Bjork, I'm your new mommy."

"I was just making sure. Remember the incident of '98?"

"Gosh! Michele answers my phone ONE TIME and you thought I was kidnapped! It could happen to anybody. So what'd you want to talk about?"

"Hey! I had just met Michele, it was okay for me to think that. No, it could not happen to anybody. And why do you think I called to talk about something in specific?"

Jess smiled at the panic in Rory's voice.

"Maybe because I haven't seen you since you went to get coffee. Did you run into someone?"

"Yeah, sort of."

"Oh really? Who?"

"Mom your sarcasm isn't funny. You probably already heard who by now. We were running all over town."

Jess laughed at the memory.

"Oh...hmm let me think. A tall handsome hoodlum?"

"Mom!"

"Okay, okay I'll stop. So where are you and Jess right now?"

"We're...in his car."

"His car!?"

"Yes mom. I'm in his car."

"Well is he driving it?"

"No mom we're just sitting in a cold car behind an abandoned building reminiscing the good times. Yes he's driving it!"

"Where to?"

"New York."

"Ah, I see. Did you plan to tell me about this?"

"Ofcourse I did!"

"Uh-huh. And when would that be exactly?"

"Well it was supposed to be the purpse of this conversation!"

"Rory, don't get in a fight with your mom over this please!" Jess pleaded.

"What? We're not fighting, are we fighting mom?"

"No! Ofcourse not. Just be back home before you get pregnant!'

She shouted that loud enough for Jess to hear who tried not to smile, but failed horribly. Rory blushed.

"Mom..."

"Okay. Okay. Have fun."

"Thanks Mom, love you too. Bye." Rory finished up the conversation and hung up.

"I'm guessing she's okay with it?" Jess asked throwing Rory a glance.

"Yup."

"So why did you blush?" Jess asked.

"What? I-I didn't blush!" Rory spluttered.

"Yes you did Rory, I saw you." A smile appeared on Jess's smooth face.

"It had to do with...what almost happened at Kyles Party."

Jess nodded, having already known what the answer to his question was going to be, he didn't have a big reaction.

Lorelai hung up with Rory and turned back to Suki.

"So she's really gone, isn't she?" Suki asked nervously as they passed various food stalls.

Lorelai nodded. "But she'll come back." She said, more to herself than to Suki.

Suki smiled. "Well that's good atleast! And look at the bright side..." Her voice trailed off.

"Bright side...?" Lorelai asked, raising her eyebrows.

Suki nodded. "She's happy!"

Lorelai forced a smile. "Yeah, but remember last time she was with Jess? She was happy then too. And then..." Her voice trailed away as she payed for a cup of hot coffee.

"Lorelai," Suki began soothingly. "You can't hold a grudge against Jess for something that happened months ago! I mean, how do we know he didn't have a legit reason to leave?"

Lorelai shrugged. "Because it's Jess. And he never has a good reason for anything he does." She said angrily and trashed her fresh coffee.

The stranger walked down the street, the same street Rory and Jess had decided to leave together. How long had he been watching them? And why would she choose to run away with him? The stranger shook his head and continued down the street towards Rory's house. Maybe he could wait for her mother to come home and convice her to go after the two of them. He approached their porch when he heard another door open from the house next door.

"Hey! Who's there?" A woman's voice called out. "Dean honey if that's you Rory's not home! I saw her leaving with Jess." Babette called out.

The stranger did not respond. He had already known the fact the Rory and left with Jess. Instead, he ducked behind some bushes and slowly escaped. Babatte wandered over to Lorelai's house and looked around.

"Who on earth was that?" Babette muttered to herself as she turned and went back to her house.

The stranger looked back at the house when he was back beneath the large oak tree. Waiting for her mother was not an option. He had to go to Jess's uncle. That might not be such a good idea, but he had no other choice.

"Look, Jess about Kyle's party..."

"Rory, you don't have to explain anything to me. I shouldn't have acted that way-"

"But I wanted you to act that way."

Jess didn't respond.

"If I was going to do it with anyone, I would want it to be you, Jess. I wanted you to be my first one."

"Wanted? As in not anymore?"

"No, I still do."
