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?

Disclaimer: Does I seem like the kind of person who could think of such an addicting plot line, and could produce such awesome characters? No, I can use the characters and make a different plot line, but I didn't create it. :)

Change of plans...There won't be a flashback of how Lane's date went. Instead, she will be thinking about it, which will lead to more things. ;) Enjoy!

Zack kissed me...Oh my god. Our dinner date hadn't been something spectacular, but he had kissed me goodnight! Sure, it may have been a small peck BUT HE KISSED ME!

Lane rolled over in her bed, remembering the events of a few hours ago. Her heart was still racing from the feel of his lips on hers. She smiled to herself. I wonder what he's doing right now. For once, I don't hear the video game. Should I go look....? Lane grinned evilly and sat up. That would be pretty stalkerish... Or I could be getting a glass of water... I'll just go.

Lane lowered her legs onto the floor and crept out of the room, down the hall and closer to the snores of her room mates.

Seeing Zack, lying in a heap beneath the covers made her silently laugh. Oh no, what if they're faking sleep again?! Lane thought and stepped away from the bunk bed and into the kitchen. Just in case one of them was watching her, she took out a cup from the cabinet and turned the sink on as low as possible and pretended to fill her cup. The splashing of water onto the metal sink didn't really help her illusion. Realizing this, she turned the tap off and set the cup down on the counter.

She smiled up at Zack's shape again then darted back into her room. She didn't hear any noise go off, so she assumed they truly were asleep.

Crawling back into bed, Lane attempted to go to sleep.

15 minutes later, she had failed miserably.

She jumped out of bed again, feeling jittery, excited. She wanted to run, jump, wrestle a bull. But nope... only thing worth wrestling in her room was probably the clothes she had at the bottom of her closet from her mother.

She ran in small circles around her room, not knowing how to release her energy.

Grabbing her CD-Player and headphones, she started to dance around to the music blaring in her ears. Minutes later, she got sick of the music and threw the CD-Player back onto her bed.

She opted to dance instead to the rhythm of the way the words that had been beating in her head sounded.

Zack kissed me! Zack kissed me! He kissed me, he kissed me!

She collapsed onto her bed, unable to stop smiling. She came back to her senses when the CD-Player jabbed her in the shoulder. Standing up again, she decided to go for a walk.

Tip-toeing out of her room for the second time that night, Lane slipped on her shoes and slowly opened the door. It creaked loudly and Brian snorted loudly. Lane's eyes jumped to Zack, who shifted slightly in his sleep, mumbled something about iguanas and pasta salad, then continued snoring.

Lane swept out into the cool night and closed the door behind her.

Not knowing which direction to walk in, Lane stood on the small porch and looked out at the town that was Stars Hollow. Growing up here, she had grown used to the little things that made this town what it was. She tried to picture it in the eyes of a tourist and laughed.

They would never understand why there was a HardWare Store sign outside of a place that looked like a diner.
Let alone appreciate the Soda Shop.
Their eyes would wonder past the Gazzebo, past the benches decorated by the elementary kids.
Some may be attracted to Andrews book shop, thanks to his eye-catching color scheme in the front window.
If one was a passerby, they'd stop by Gypsy's and face her crankiness that came from rude customers. But if they were nice, they'd meet a fun and wise person.

Lane sighed, loving this town more and more with each passing day. She was so entranced by the small towns charm that she didn't hear the door creak behind her.

"Hey, you okay?" A soft voice asked.

Lane spun around in shock and nearly collided with Zack.

"What-I-Yeah, I'm-I'm fine." Lane said feeling herself blush as Zack moved beside her.

"You just sorta vanished so I came outside, I know you like to come here sometimes."

"How'd you know?"

Zack shrugged. "Not exactly a heavy sleeper."

"Oh-sorry. Didn't know I'd been waking you all those times-"

Zack shook his hand. "Don't worry about it. So, what are you thinking about?"

Lane shrugged and turned back to the town.

"I love this town." She said dreamily, watching Luke's sign flutter in the light breeze.

"Yeah, it's pretty unique isn't?"

Lane nodded, then felt Zack's arms around her.

"You know, Brian came home before we finished saying goodnight."

Lane's cheeks turned scarlet.

Zack moved in closer and soon was giving Lane much more than just a peck.

"Sookie, are you sure you don't need me there again today?" Lorelai asked impatiently while digging in the freezer for the poptarts.

"Yes I'm sure! I heard what Emily wants you to do. Wow, coming from your mom... That's pretty harsh.'

"No, it's just Emily. Are you really sure? Because I can still come in-"

"No Lorelai!" Sookie said laughing. "We'll be fine."

"Speak for yourself!" Micheles voice came through.

Sookie rolled her eyes. "Ignore him."

"Ha, I always do."

"So I heard Ms. Patties version of the story. What's yours?"

"Easy. Jess and Rory are engaged, mom doesn't want them to be. Wants me to break them up." Lorelai said, pulling the poptarts out and closing the freezer door with her elbow.

"Wow, that's pretty evil."

"No, like I said. That's Emily Gilmore. Hey, can I please do something? Yesterday Babette and Ms. Pattie took turns making sure I wouldn't leave my house. Luke stopped by with food. I felt like a kid! I want to do something!" Lorelai insisted, wripping the packaging of her poptarts.

"Lorelai, you should take some time off. You've worked alot lately."

"Sookie!"

"No Lorelai! I'm calling Babette and telling her to keep watch over you today."

"No Sookie-"

But Sookie was gone, and moments later Babette was entering Lorelai's house.

When Rory woke up in her favorite position with Jess, she smiled remembering the events of last night.

She looked up at Jess' face and was surprised to see him smiling down at her, his brown eyes sparkling.

"Once again, I'm first to wake." He grinned.

Rory stuck her tongue out at him. "Like you said, you're an insomniac."

He stuck his tongue out right back and the two of them sat up laughing.

"We should call and get this place today." Rory said picking up the newspaper with their soon to be home in it.

Jess nodded, standing up and walking to the bathroom.

"I'll get started on packing-"

"Want to take a shower with me?" Jess cut her off.

Rory gapsed and threw a pillow at Jess.

"What!?" He laughed, dodging the pillow.

"Perv!"

"What? You're already pregnant with my child!" He grinned.

Rory stuck her tongue out at him and he backed into the bathroom laughing.

Rory went over to the bathroom and closed the door.

"I don't need the temptation!" She shouted through the door and could almost see the gleam in Jess' eyes.

She heard the shower go off and knew it was okay to start packing. Honestly, there wasn't much to pack.

They'd need alot of boxes for their books, but Rory had been living off of a single bag of clothes and she hadn't seen alot of things to wear on Jess' behalf.

She dug around in the closet looking for whatever bag Jess had brought his clothes in. It was pretty difficult, since with every pile of books she moved, another tumbled onto her.

She finally gave up and emerged from the closet to see Jess leaning against a wall, fully showered and dressed, watching her with a smile.

"What are you looking for?"

"Your bag..." She mumbled.

Jess laughed and reached under the bed and pulled out a worn out duffle bag.

"What is that thing!?"

"It's a duffle bag."

"But-but, it's falling apart!"

Jess shrugged. "Stopped carrying so many things after I left Stars Hollow the second time."

Rory eyed his 'duffle bag' and made a mental note to get him a better one.

"Don't you be thinking to get rid of this thing." Jess said, knowing the look in Rory's eyes.

"I wasn't." She lied and grinned.

"Yes you were!"

"Fine, I was thinking it, but I won't do it if you don't want me to."

Jess nodded and tossed the bag onto the bed, while Rory bent down back into the closet and started pulling out piles of books.

"I called the building." Jess said and Rory straightened up.

"Oh yeah? How'd it go?"

Jess smiled. "The guy told me to stop by some time before tomorrow evening to sign for it and it's all ours."

"That's great!" Rory said dumping the books onto the bed and hugging Jess.

He nodded.

"I'm going to take a shower by myself" She added and kissed Jess on the cheek then went into the bathroom, leaving the door unlocked behind her.

She partially wanted Jess to come in, but in the end was glad he didn't. She had too much on her mind already without having to be distracted with the pleasures Jess brought.

They were all packed by lunch time, most of the boxes were full with books, Rory had her duffle bag, and Jess had his. The furniture had come with the apartment, except the mattress which Rory and Jess decided to call Luke for help with. The couches had also come with the apartment, which is why Rory and Jess had avoided sitting on them. Plus, they really didn't need to watch TV when there was so much excitement going on the city. The loose pieces of materials in the kitchen such as the few knives, plates, cups and utensils had been put into a box as well.

When they finished packing, they decided to load the car right now and just head down to the apartment and move in right away. Luke had told them he'll meet them at the new building at 4:00PM, and they had agreed.

The hard part was getting all the boxes of books to fit in the car.

In the end, they ended up roping five boxes onto the roof of the car and laughing at how goofy it looked.

Jess went to the office of the building they lived in right now and cleared things up about the old apartment.

They both got in the car, and began the drive up to Yale.

Authors note is important!

You might be wondering why people have to watch Lorelai. It's because I see Lorelai as a strong person, who can't be stopped when she's on a mission. She wants to work, so the only thing her friends can do is make sure she doesn't, since to much stress isn't good.

I changed my mind about another thing too. I think I got all the votes I'm going to get. I'll close it tomorrow, (4th of July! I love fireworks!) and then you'll all know the answer to whether or not there will be more The results will be on my profile. Have a great Fourth of July for those of you celebrating. I'll be posting two chapters tommorow since I have nothing better to do. I know, lame. :)

The story will all in all have 30 chapters, followed by an epilogue where I answer any questions you may have.

By the way, do any of you watch So You Think You Can Dance?
