A/N: The weather is so nice today so I decided to sit down and write it all in one sitting. Thank you for the continuous support, really appreciate it.

I do not own the characters or the song in this chapter (yes, there's again, a song. Recommend listening to the song while reading the scene, it helps a lot :P) Hope you guys like it!

Chapter 32: We Go Together

' Stop taking all the red and green ones.' Jess complained as Rory who was sitting next to him, munching on all his red and green gummy bears.

Jess had enough, Luke was so strict with his sugar in take, he could only have sweets twice in a week and this small tiny ziplock gummy bears should be a delicacy for him, not Rory. He grabbed the bag and threw all the gummy bears into his mouth. ' It's all mines now! Ha!' Jess proudly said.

Rory pouted, she crossed her arms around her chest, ' from now on, I will not share red vines with you when you come over to my place.'

Jess stopped munching. Right. He forgot the only place he could pump up his sugar intake secretly was Lorelai's house and he had just ruined that. He spitted out the gummies back into the ziplock. He gave Rory an apologetical face, ' I'm really sorry.' He handed Rory the bag, ' You could still have it if you want?'

' Ewww!' Rory looked at the disgusted mixed of color gummies, sliming through the transparent plastic bag. ' Forget it.'

' Woah cool!' Johnny who just got back from the playground, sat across Rory and Jess. He took the disgusting gummy bears, he turned to Dean who just sat next to him, squinting his eyes' I dare you to swallow this.'

Jess giggled and was prompting Dean to eat it. Rory rolled her eyes at the boys, thinking to herself, boys really are dumb, she buried her head back to her book.

Dean took the bag, holding it up under the sun, thinking whether he should take this dare or not, 'fine, if I take this dare, Jess, I'll dare you to finish a whole can of Ziggy's wet food after school.'

Jess was hyped up, he normally would not do stupid dares, but the desire to see Dean's face turning green and possibly puking excites him. He was about to take the dare, after all, dog foods are eatable by human, he thought.

Before Jess could accept the dare, Rory looked up from her book and cut Jess off, ' Jess is busy this afternoon, he can't take your stupid dare Dean.' And she began packing her stuff angrily and walked off.

Jess was confused by Rory's mood swing, she never minded the boys talking about fart jokes or taking on stupid dares. He packed his stuff and chased Rory.

' Rory wait up! What's wrong?' Jess catching his breathe.

' Have you forgotten about our big plan? The plan that is way more important than eating Ziggy's food?' Rory stopped walking and turned back to Jess.

Jess looked at Rory all wide eyes, he was trying to think back, gummy bears, turkey sandwich, Miss Owens' boring math class, Johnny's paper plane swirled five times around the window, Rory asking him…

' You forgot already?! How could you forget about it! Don't you want Luke and my mom to be together again?' Rory exclaimed.

Right! Jess remembered now, ' Sorry, sorry. Yes, I remember, after school we'll practice it in Luke's apartment right?'

Rory sighed, ' Yea. I'll just go home and get something before then. Please don't forget it again, ok?'

' Ok, I promise I won't. I'll see you later in class.' Jess smiled and walked back to Dean and Johnny.

Luke's apartment 4pm

Jess was laying down on his stomach on the floor, one hand dipping his fries into ketchup and one hand trying to do his math homework.

A knock on the door.

Jess stopped everything and walked to the door and opened the door,

' Woah, is this necessary?' Jess asked as he took over Rory's big gigantic card box full of stuff.

' Absolutely, Jess, Luke and my mom's future depends on this. We have to perfect it.' Rory explained in all seriousness.

Jess nodded, and was looking through the box, he picked up a navy blue dress, ' Don't tell me I have to be in a suit for this?'

Rory giggled, 'No, you don't have to, because you are wearing that.'

Jess dropped the dress, he looked at Rory with his mouth opened, ' What?!'

' Yes, we have to make this as light and comedic as possible so when Luke and mom sees the act, they will lighten up their mood.'

' I'm not wearing a dress, Rory.' Jess exclaimed, ' there's many other ways that we can make the act funny without the involvement of a dress.'

' But it won't be as comedic, trust me.' Rory begged.

' Nah-uh.' Jess shook his head frantically.

' Come on Jess. Pleaseeeee?' Rory turned into her puppy blue eyes looking at Jess.

Jess shut his eyes close, he knew Rory was going to use that against him, ' Stop doing that puppy blue eyes, it is not going to work this time. I already agreed on doing Lorelai the woman's part, I'm not turning into a girl entirely!'

' No one's gonna be watching the act but Luke and mom. Come on, no one's going to laugh at you.' Rory encouraged.

Jess was not giving in.

Rory sighed, ' at least try it on now, see if it fits?'

' If I try it on right now, will you stop begging me to wear it for the act?' Jess asked, still eyes closed.

' Okay, if you try now, I won't ask you to wear it, because you will want to wear it, it's a pretty dress.'

Jess sighed, he opened his eyes, reluctantly took the blue dress out of the box, ' I hate you.'

Rory giggled, ' I love you.'

Jess took his shirt off and put on the dress with Rory's help. The dress was a few inches above Jess' knees.

Rory walked a few steps away from Jess to see if it fits and everything. Jess was just standing there, hating himself for liking Rory too much.

' Take off your jeans too, it's kind of in the way of the dress' Rory stated, she wants to see how it looks with just the dress on.

' I am not taking my pants off in front of you.' Jess exclaimed.

Rory giggled a little, ' I've actually seen you in your Thomas and friends underwear.'

Jess started to blush, ' shut up Rory! Luke bought it okay? He didn't know Thomas' for little kids.' Jess was in all shades of red, he grunted, ' This is ridiculous. This dress is ridiculous and you're a bully. A real mean one too.' He proceeded to trying to take off the dress, one arm trying to reach the zipper on the back of the dress.

Rory tried to stop herself from laughing and went to help Jess with the dress. She unzipped the dress, and Jess was pulling the dress up so he could take it off entirely. Without a knock, Luke came in, holding two ice cream bowls.

He almost dropped the bowls of ice cream when he saw the scene, Rory was standing behind Jess and Jess was halfway in taking off a dress. The kids were also shocked at Luke coming in. If the fact that Rory had seen Jess in a Thomas train underwear had not been embarrassing enough for Jess, having Luke seeing Jess in a dress was even more embarrassing. Jess stopped everything, immediately explained the situation, ' I was forced to try on the dress, Uncle Luke okay? I..I didn't want to, Rory made me! We were going to do a..' Rory covered Jess mouth with her hand, shaking her head in panic, it was supposed to be a surprise act, Luke should not know.

Luke got himself back together, what was he even thinking, of course nothing happened, they're eight years old, it's probably some kids' dare challenge or something.

Luke placed the bowls on the coffee table near the couch, ' I'll leave the bowls here, it's really busy down there, don't flip the apartment okay?' The kids nodded, and he left the apartment.

' I'm never wearing a dress EVER again. And you have to swear you are not going to tell ANYONE about it. Not even Lane.' Jess grunted, throwing the dress back into the box.

' Okay I promise, but I won't promise not telling Lane you have a Thomas and Friends underwear!' Rory joked, sticking her tongue out.

Jess blushed again, getting frustrated and a bit angry at Rory, ' Stop it Rory! I mean it!'

' Okay, okay, calm down. Let's get to work now.' Rory stopped teasing Jess, and Jess tried his best to forget about all the embarrassing moments of the day.

Luke's Diner 8pm

Jess was sitting at one of the counter table chairs, waiting for his uncle to be done with the rush dinner hour.

'Here.' Jess took out a slightly crumbled piece of folded paper to Luke, once Luke was bringing out a plate of beef roast and mashed potatoes to the customer sitting next to Jess.

Luke put down the plate and took the paper, looking at Jess with a skeptical face as he was trying to unfold the paper, ' What is this? Did you get in trouble again at school?'

Jess shook his head, ' Me and Rory made it for you.'

' Oh.' Luke unfolded the paper and saw a colourful paper with a drawing and some information below it, ' Invitation card?'

' Yea, read the details.' Jess smiled.

Jess Mariano and Rory Gilmore

Request the pleasure of your company

to the magnificent musical show

directed, written and played by Jess and Rory

on Friday, 25th of June

at 7 o'clock in the evening

LOCATION: Above Luke's Diner

Drinks will be served, no food though, you can buy it at Luke's.

Hope to see you there!

Luke smiled, Jess had come so far from the trauma, he was so glad that Jess has finally gone back to normal, ' Of course I will be there. How many people are you two inviting to this show in my apartment? I could make sandwiches and fries, it's no problem.'

' Oh, that would be unnecessary, we just invited a few people, just our friends.' Jess replied, without mentioning Lorelai.

' I assume Lorelai's gonna be there right?'

Jess nodded, ' But don't worry, there will be Johnny, Dean, Lane and all. It won't be awkward.'

' I know it won't. Besides, she's Rory's mom, of course she's going to be there.'

June 25th 1993 5:30pm

' Can I change my mind?' Jess pleaded Rory, he was wrapped in a purple bath towel and a woman's wig that resembles Lorelai's long brunette hair.

Rory giggled, ' You said you didn't want to wear that light blue dress, so this is the other option. Stop whining, you look cute. Now let me put some make up on you.'

Jess sighed and gave in, it's only a few hours and there won't be anyone but Luke and Lorelai anyway. ' After my make up, it's my turn to Luke you up.' Jess gave Rory an evil smirk.

' Sure.' Rory casually accepted, dressing up like Luke was easy anyway, backward baseball cap, flannel shirt and jeans.

' What are you doing?' Jess asked horrifiedly, he was sitting on a chair and let Rory put on all these unknown make up stuff on his face.

' Don't close your eyes, look up.' Rory stated, holding a mascara wand.

' Stop! Stop! Stop!' Jess held Rory's arm, refraining her from putting make up on his eyelashes.

'What?' Rory asked, a little annoyed by Jess, as they have to get this done quick, they were on a tight schedule.

' You're gonna poke my eye!' Jess explained.

' Relax. I'm not going to, I've seen my mom done it a million times.' Rory assured.

Jess opened his eyes wide, ' You've actually never done it before?!'

' Nope, but it's fairly easy.' Rory smiled confidently.

' Not a chance. No way jose. Noooo way, you're not putting that pen thing on my eye or around my eye. I don't want to be blind.' Jess panicked.

Rory gave in, she knew Jess has already compromise a lot of things, like make up and being the girl part of the play, ' Here, at least some lipstick.'

Rory picked up the bright red one, Jess immediately warned her, ' Put that down , Rory. Put it down.'

' The bright red will bring out your pretty lips.' Rory teased, putting down the bright red lipstick.

' No.' Jess complained, ' Put something more natural, that red is frightening.'

After a few minutes more, Rory was done putting make up on Jess, Jess refused to look at his face as he already knew it would be horrible.

' Alright, your turn.' Jess got up from the chair and handed Rory his one and only blue flannel shirt and his Yankees ball cap.

Rory took the shirt and wore it over her tank top, then proceeded wearing Jess' baseball cap.

' Kirk, get out of here.' Rory lowered her voice and imitated Luke, ' How was my impression of Luke?'

Jess laughed, ' Perfect. Just one more thing.' Jess picked up the eyebrow pen from the makeup pile. He drew Rory's eyebrow just a little darker and then he took Luke's driver license which was on his desk.

Rory raised her eyebrows, ' What are you doing?'

' Making you more like Luke.' Jess looked at Luke's beard on the card and then started drawing the beard with the pen on Rory's face.

' Rory, roll up your sleeves.' Jess giggled, thinking about what he was about to do.

Rory did as told, Jess was just laughing his way while he tried to draw Luke's arm hair on Rory's pale white skin.

' Hey! That's too much arm hair!' Rory was giggling too.

' But Luke really does have that much arm hair.' Jess explained, still laughing hard, which caused the drawing of the arm hair going off the rails on Rory's arm. It's going all sorts of directions on her arms.

' If I'm having Luke's arm hair, you should have my mom's pretty nails.' Rory complained.

Jess stuck his tongue out, 'Whoops, too late for that, we're done with make up.'

After they both have a good laugh at each other's face and clothing's, they started to clean up things and set up the place.

' You've got the vinyl from Lane, right?' Jess asked Rory while he was putting stuff back into the boxes.

Rory nodded, and she took out the vinyl carefully and put it on to Luke's old vinyl record player.

' Alright. Everything's ready?' Rory asked, letting out a breathe. She's nervous, she wanted this to work so badly.

' Everything's okay. Don't be nervous. I'm the one who should be nervous. I have heels and bathing towel on.' Jess tried to ease up Rory.

' Now let's do this.' Jess smirked, Rory replied with a smile.

Luke's apartment 7pm

Both Luke and Lorelai followed the instructions posted on Luke's apartment door, and were now sitting at the two designated seats Rory and Jess planned. In front of them, was a coffee table with two wine glasses, a bottle of red wine, Jess and Rory begged Sookie to get for them and a packet of Red Vines. Immediately, the two adults knew what these two were up to. The fact that there were no other kids in the room was a contributing factor. The kids tricked them into this, and now they were trapped. The kids were hiding inside Jess's bedroom, waiting for the two the settle in before they start the show.

' I guess we're trapped here aren't we? I don't see no Lane, Johnny or any little human in here.' Lorelai broke the ice.

Luke nodded, ' We most definitely are, and their intentions are very obvious.'

' Yes, very obvious.' Lorelai tried to say something without sounding awkward, but it did.

' Ladies and Gentleman are you ready for the one and only musical done by the talented Mr. Jess Mariano and intelligent Miss. Rory Gilmore?' Jess shouted from inside his bedroom, which was supposed to be the back stage and the living room is the stage.

The adults pretended to be all excited, clapped and cheered.

' You ready?' Jess whispered to Rory.

Rory nodded. Jess took a deep breathe, ' here goes nothing.'

Then the two walked out of the room and on to the 'stage'.

Immediately, the adults recognized who they were pretending to be and couldn't help but laugh at Jess trying to walk normally in Rory's heels.

Rory and Jess were both holding a broom in between their legs with a drawing of a horse head taped onto the broom.

They were galloping around the stage.

Jess (Lorelai): [high pitch voice] Luke, are you out of your mind?! How is Jess going to take care of Abacus, he's only eight!

Rory (Luke): [Low pitch voice, roll eyes] Lorelai this is none of your business okay! Jess is my kid, I know what is best for him! You're not my wife!

Jess (Lorelai): [Dramatic Gasp]

Play music [How Deep is Your Love] on vinyl, throw away broom.

Jess was sitting on the left corner and Rory was sitting on the right corner of the stage. Both looking away from each other, looking like they hate each other.

Rory (Luke) tried to look over to Jess (Lorelai), knew she (Luke) said something wrong and was trying to mend it back.

Rory slowly walked over to Jess,

Rory (Luke): [Smile, handing out her hand to Jess, sing] I know your eyes in the Morning sun.

Jess (Lorelai): [act shy, look at the ground, take Rory's hand reluctantly] I feel you touch me in the pouring rain.

Rory (Luke): [Spin Jess around] And the moment that you wander far from me, I wanna feel you in my arms again.

Jess (Lorelai): [Lay head on Rory's shoulder, act girly]

And you come to me on a summer breeze

keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave.

And it's me you need to show, how deep is your love?

Rory and Jess: [Sing while looking at Luke and Lorelai] How deep is your love? How deep is your love?

Rory and Jess: [Nodding and looking into each others' eyes] I really need to learn.

Rory and Jess: [Continue singing and partner Dance]

Cause we're living in a world of fools

Breaking us down

When they all should let us be

We belong to you and me.

Jess (Lorelai): [Put both hands on your heart, look at Uncle Luke while singing]

I believe in you, you know the door to my very soul

You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour, you're my saviour when I fall.

Rory (Luke): [Kneel down on one knee, look at Mom Lorelai while singing]

And you may not think

I care for you

When you know down inside

That I really do.

Jess (Lorelai): And it's me you need to show, how deep is your love?

[Let the music run, take a bow, leave the apartment, close the door]

A/N: How deep is your love? Classic Bee Gees, can't beat that, haha. Had quite some fun writing this chapter, hope y'all like this one :) Fanfic is having some issues with the review thing I think, I can't read your reviews on fanfic, but I can read it through email, so it's all good. Don't hesitate to write a review or comment, would really appreciate it. Thank you :) Till then, stay tuned...

Anon1, thank you for your review and kind concern over the Fort Mac situation :) It's a 7 hours drive from Calgary to Fort Mac, but it is definitely a big news here, the fire is not quite stopping yet, residents are all evacuated (not all the pets tho!) but so far no casualties and everyone is so grateful for all the support and donations. I think redcross raised over 89 million for Fort Mac. Don't worry, we the north (GO RAPTORS! btw), strong bunch of people, come hell or high water, Albertans can do it, been through a flood that covered the whole downtown and broke houses and schools, tough tough bunch of folks. Back to the story, yes sometimes kids are smarter in situations like these, they see the bigger picture. And that 5% is going to make a world of difference in Jess life, or not? :p we'll see.
