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?

DUN DUN DUNNNN STRANGERS IDENTITY IS REVEALED.

He opened the door to Luke's diner, causing the small bell at the top to ring.

"We're closed!" He heard someone call from the back.

"Really?" He called. "'Cuz the sign says open."

Luke froze in the back room, recognizing that voice instantly. He carefully came out and looked the man up and down.

---

"Wow, I like the paintings on the wall." Rory said admiring them. She took a sip of the coffee cup and pouted. "All gone?" She looked at Jess who laughed.

"Too much coffee will kill you, you know."

Rory shrugged. "When you're me, not enough will too."

Jess smiled and moved closer to her. He put his hands around her waist and started to kiss her. Gently at first, but Rory who had wanted this more than anything for the longest time, made it into something special. The two moved as one towards the bed and Rory fell first, and Jess on top of her. Jess pulled away from her lips and started to kiss her neck. He suddenly stopped and sat up.

"What is it?" Rory asked panting also sitting up.

"Not like this Rory." He said shaking his head.

"What?" Rory asked, saddened by the change in events.

"Rory, I love you. And I know we dated a little while ago, but we just got back together tonight. A few hours ago. I don't want to mess this up. I'm sorry."

Rory nodded. "I understand Jess."

"It's not that I don't want too, but I don't want you to get hurt."

Rory nodded again and reached over and took his hand. "I love you too Jess." She said and kissed him again.

---

It's getting late, I wonder why Rory hasn't called. Unless Jess crashed the car again. It was his car they left in, I saw Rory's out front. Who knows how safe his piece of metal is?

Lorelai lay in bed staring up at the ceiling, concerned about her daughter.

And what was that Babette was talking about? Who was watching my house!? What if they're watching right now...?

Lorelai carefully got out of her bed and went to the window that faced the front yard. She made sure the light was off before pulling the curtain slowly away.

"Oh my god!" She gasped and turned away from the window.

I swear I just saw someone outside.

She turned back and looked outside, noticing this time it was only a crooked tree. She sighed with relief and turned her lamp back on. Then the door bell rang.

---

"What are you doing here? Get out of my diner!" Luke yelled.

"Luke I just want to talk to you-"

"No Jimmy! Jess isn't here, okay? He hasn't been home for hours. And his car's gone. I'm guessing he went back home, so go follow him if you want to. But get out of my diner."

"Luke! Jess didn't go home. He took some girl with him in his car...she was carrying a cup of coffee and-"

Luke didn't need to hear the rest, he knew who the girl was and picked up the phone and called Lorelai.

---

Lorelai walked towards the door cautiously. Who would come over at two in the morning? She yelled through "Who is it?!"

"It's me! Lane!"

"Lane?!" Lorelia pulled the door open. "Lane, honey, what are you doing here?"

"Have you seen Rory?" Lane asked coming in.

"Yeah she left with Jess a few hours ago-"

"What?!"

"Oh Lane, hold on the phone's ringing. Come inside, grab a snack if you want I have Twinkies and Cheeze-It's." Lorelai instructed as she searched for the phone.

"Thanks!" Lane called heading towards the kitchen.

"Ah-ha!" Lorelai pulled it out from in between the couch seat cushions triumphly and hit the 'On' button.

"Hello?"

"Lorelai!"

"Luke?"

"Yeah it's me. Jimmy's here in the diner and he said that Rory left with Jess?!?"

"Yeah she did, and who is Jimmy?"

"Jess' dad. Wait and you just let them go?"

"Yeah I let them go, and whoa? Jess' dad? Since when does he care about anything other than himself?"

"I don't know but he came in here looking for Jess-" He was cut off as someone in the background spoke. "Okay he came in here to tell me about Jess. What should we do?"

"What do you mean what should we do?" Lorelai asked sitting down just as Lane came back inside holding a Twinkie.

"I mean about Jess and Rory! We have to bring them back!"

"No, Luke. They'll be fine."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yeah! Totally. Hey I have to go, Lane's here."

"Oh Lane's there? Tell her I said hi."

"Hi Luke!!"

"Okay then, So I'll see you tomorrow!" Lorelai said. "Save me some chocolate chip pancakes!" She said and hung up.

---

"You know what I don't get?" Luke said turning to Jimmy after he'd hung up with Lorelai.

"What's that buddy?" Jimmy asked sitting down and propping his feet up on a table.

"Okay well one. don't call me buddy. And two? Get your feet off the table!" Luke snapped.

"Alright, alright. Don't have a cow!" Jimmy said and lowered his feet. "Now what don't you get?"

"If you saw Jess and Rory leave, then that means you were here for another reason. Because I highly doubt you were just passing by when you saw the two leaving. So what I want to know, is why did you come here? Here! To Stars Hollow. Is it Liz? Because let me tell you something, you're not going to get back with her! No. And if I have to make sure of that myself, then God help me I will! And you're not allowed any where near Jess! Even if he was still here, I wouldn't let you come even a foot close to him! I don't care if he's your son. If you wanted to be a father, you would've come home the night he was born WITH the diapers!"

Jimmy looked up at Luke. "If you're done with all the crap, do you want to know the real reason I'm here?"

Luke nodded, trying to keep steam from coming out of his ears.

"Fine."

I have to update everyday now.
