Always love opions so everyone keep reviewing.

Rory and Jess spent Sunday morning together in the apartment above the diner, it was the last time they had together before Jess had to get back. They had sorted out a weekend visit for Rory to make it to Phladelphia, she was insistant it was her turn and she wanted to see Truncheon again, and Matt and Chris too. The time to leave came too soon for either their likings, Rory knew the night with her mum would be great but she always missed Jess when they had to leave each other. Jess had left his car up at Rory's apartment so she drove him back up there to collect all his stuff and car.

"You got everything you need?"

"Yeah, we've triple checked the place, I don't think I left anything." Jess knew that Rory was stalling, he wished he could stay but he knew he had to get going soon.

"Ok, got snacks for the road?"

"I'm not you, I can last a few hours without piles of food." He laughed as he saw the look on her face at that. "There's places I can pull over for something to eat if I get hungry."

"And you'll call me when you get back?"

"I promise, we will talk more tomorrow as well, I know you'll be talking to you mum until late."

"I think she wants us to plan the entire wedding this weekend."

"Let me know what progress you make in it."

"Of course." She looked at him with sad eyes now. "You're sure you can't stay though?"

"Rory..." He knew if she kept looking at him like that he would buckle.

"Sorry, you're right, you have to go, you've already had a week away."

She still looked sad as she looked up at him but he managed to stay strong, he knew he had to go, Matt and Chris would kill him if he got back late from a week away. She walked him back down to the car and they kissed once more in goodbye before he got in his car and drove off, he looked in his mirror and saw Rory watching him until he turned the forst corner.

"So we settled on green theme, with daisies for flowers, we will have to take you shopping for maid of honour dress soon."

"Will you still use the wedding dress you found?" Rory had got back to be dragged into wedding talk right away.

"Yeah, it's the perfect dress so it's just yours to pick out, Luke says he will sort himself and Jess out suits."

"Where do you want to have it?"

"I was actually thinking the Dragonfly, we can have the ceremony out the back and the reception inside, Sookie is already talking about a 6 tiered cake."

"That sounds great, we could do a lot with the space out there. Sookie will make the best wedding meal for you guys"

"It will be the first wedding at the Dragonfly."

"Do you know when it will be?"

"I'm not sure, I want it to be before you go back for your final year, I feel like June 3rd has too much bad feelings surrounding it but how about in July sometime?"

"July will be good, let Luke know and choose a solid date together."

"Yeah, I suppose I should let him have some input."

Both of the girls laughed at that and started looking through some catalogues at dresses for Rory, they were still doing that when Luke came back with bags of food for dinner. He was thanked enthusiastically by both girls as he dished up all the food he brought, Lorelai was picking a movie to put on while Rory went to help Luke.

"Hey Rory, how's the wedding plans coming?"

"Really well, I think she's chosen pretty much everything she wants, do you feel like she's leaving you out?" Luke chuckled at her.

"God no, I'm not much for parties or planning, she can have anything she wants, I'm just choosing what I wear and that's because I have no idea what she would put me otherwise." Both of them laughed loudly at that.

They headed back into the living room with plates of food, the three of the settled in for a night of movies.

Jess arrived back in Philadelphia mid afternoon and was greeted by Matt who was in Truncheon working on a poems writings.

"Hey, how was New Haven?"

"It was good, what are you doing here on a Sunday?"

"My next door neighbour just got a new girlfriend, and apparently Sunday is their funday, loudly so I had to get out."

"Ow, sorry, what you working on?"

"Elliot gave these poems to look at a few days ago, they don't seem to be at his usual standard."

"I'm not talking to him again, you know anything we get from him when he's high is useless."

"I'll get on it, anyway, did you make progress on your book?"

"I made the decision on how to end it, just got to put it down on paper now, I've got the manuscripts you gave me with my notes."

"Got some work done then, I'll take a look at the manuscripts tomorrow."

"Yeah, I'll stay down here, keep you company and try and get some writing done."

Jess should have known it was a bad idea, the two of them just ended up talking and laughing the afternoon and evening away, neither got any work done. He was happy to spend time with Matt though, he found himself missing his and Chris's company in the times he was alone at Rory's apartment. He loved being there with her but he was also glad to be home and that Rory would be there with him next weekend.
