A/N: Part of this chapter is going to be the text messages between Rory and Jess. The format is a strange one to write in but hopefully won't be difficult to read. Thank you so much for the reviews so far, I'm glad people are enjoying the story.

Jess: Hey, trying the texting thing, I don't do it much but thought it might be an easier way for us to talk.

Rory: Hi, I don't text much either, but you're right it should be easier.

Jess: Just no smiley faces or abbreviations, please.

Rory: Deal.

Jess: Good.

Rory: Much planned for today?

Jess: Going over a manuscript for a client, later having to fix what I attempted writing last night.

Rory: You started writing something?

Jess: Tried to, turns out I'm useless when I'm tired.

Rory: Didn't go well then?

Jess: Some is usable, some is fixable, a lot of it will just have to scrapped though.

Rory: That sucks, at least you've got some to work with, that's progress.

Jess: Yeah it is, I know what sort of direction to take it in now.

Rory: That's good. I've got so much work to do for the paper right now, mind if I text you later, when I get back home?

Jess: Yeah sure, probably best I get some work done too, talk soon.

Rory: Hey, finally finished at the paper.

Jess: Hey, sorry for the late reply, I wasn't near my phone, how are you doing?

Rory: Thats alright, I was keeping myself busy with a certain book.

Jess: Oh, anything good?

Rory: One of the best, yours actually.

Jess: Not again, haven't you got bored of it yet.

Rory: Not yet, I can't see that happening any time soon either.

Jess: Other than reading a book you've already read more times than necessary, what else have you done with your day?

Rory: Busy day of boring lectures and the never ending drama of running the Yale Daily News.

Jess: You run that now?

Rory: Yeah, editor. Caused a rift between me and Paris that thankfully has been fixed now.

Jess: Paris Geller, the crazy one from Chilton, wouldn't blame you for doing anything to cause a rift there.

Rory: She's actually been great, I'm living with her now, it's bad for my blood pressure but she's a good friend deep down.

Jess: She didn't seem too bad, a bit intense but at least you have a good friend with you.

Rory: Yeah I do, her boyfriend is just as crazy but they are kind of perfect for each other.

Jess: He'd have to be as crazy as her to make it work.

Rory: Oh he is, they are currently practicing Krav Maga, very loudly in our living room.

Jess: That sounds interesting, and annoying for you. What exactly is Krav Maga?

Rory: Some sort of Isreali self-defence, they've taken it upon themselves to learn.

Jess: Why would they need that?

Rory: This neighbourhood isn't the best but it's Paris and her usual paranoia.

Jess: As long as you're safe there, have you learnt any self-defence?

Rory: It's really not necessary but thank you for your concern.

Jess: Ok, as long as you're sure.

Rory: I am, I've got to go, my mum wanted me to call her tonight and it's later than I thought.

Jess: I'm glad you are talking to your mum again. I should get some work done as well before it's too late for me to be useful again. I'll talk to you soon.

"Hey sweets, I thought you'd forgotten about me." Even though the sadness was faked in Lorelai's versions there was a real question behind the statement and Rory could hear it. She told her mum everything but she wasn't sure how she would react to her talking to Jess again.

"I could never forget about you, I was just busy this evening."

"Busy doing what, or do I not want to know?"

"I'm not actually sure if you would."

"Now your scaring mummy, have you been doing something bad?"

"No mum, nothing you need to worry about, but possibly something you won't like."

"I don't want to go back to you not being able to talk to me." Rory felt instantly bad for bringing those months back up, it was hard not to talk to her mum about things that were important and she knew she could tell her anything without judgment.

"I don't want that either, it's just that I've been back in contact with Jess for a couple of days." She waited for her mum's response and was pleasantly surprised to her mum laugh through the phone.

"Luke told me Jess had asked for your details, I figured he'd been in contact by now. Why would you think I would be so against that?"

"Well, you've never been Jess's biggest fan, I thought you'd dislike us talking again."

"I didn't like him when he was the young punk of a kid with a chip on his shoulder, he seemed like the guy who would break your heart, and I wasn't wrong. But it's not like you're getting back together, Luke tells me he is doing well for himself now, isn't the boy he once was. After you telling me his role in getting you back to me and to Yale as well, did you really think I'd still harbor a grudge against him?"

"I guess not, I just always remember how much you hated him when we were together."

"He played a part in breaking your wrist, I would have hated anyone."

"It was a fracture, and an accident."

"Yes I know but I was emotional, you'd been hurt and then he hurt you again by leaving."

"Well, as you say, he's changed now, grown up."

The rest of the phone calls the girls talked about everything that was happening in Stars Hollow, including the horror that was Mrs Kim's old wedding dress and how Lorelai was having to fix it so Lane could wear it.

Rory: Morning, guess what arrived in my post this morning?

Jess: Morning, has your mum finally found a way to send her self to you by post?

Rory: No, and don't go giving her ideas about that. Your invitation arrived.

Jess: Oh, that.

Rory: Yes that, luckily I happen to be free at the weeekend so I'll be there.

Jess: That's good, I look forward to seeing you there.

Rory: I look forward to seeing you too.
