Disclaimer: I own nothing, it all belongs to A.S.P. and the WB, I'm simply borrowing the characters.

A/N I was thinking about what might have happened if when Jess came to Stars Hollw, Dean and Rory had broken up before and were just friends. What could've happened if Rory had gone with Jess that night. I'm using some of the dialogue from the show but I'm losing some stuff too. The characters are OOC caues it fits the way I write better. Anyway, I love reviews and if I don't see enough interest in this story then I'll focus on my other. So, enjoy!

He walked into the living room and was drawn to the mantle where he saw a picture of a girl with chestnut hair and deep blue eyes. He thought No way in hell does she live in this place out of a fairytale, lucky... his thoughts were interupted when he heard the woman, Lorelai, who his uncle obviously had a thing for, yell "Rory, they're here!"

"Coming!" He followed Lorelai and Luke into the kitchen. He saw an open door, stood in the door way and saw the girl from the picture. She said "Hey."

"Hey."

"I'm Rory."

"Figured. Jess." He walked over to the book shelf. "My, aren't we hooked on phonics."

"Oh, I read alot. Do you like to read?"

"Not much." He picks up the book Howl and looks it over.

"I could loan you that if you want. It's great."

"No thanks." He puts it back on the shelf and walks toward the the windows. He looks at her and asks "Do these open?"

"Oh yeah, you just have to unlatch them and push."

"Great, so shall we?"

"Shall we what?"

"Bail."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because it's Tuesday night in Stars Hollow. There's nowhere to bail to. The 24-hour mini-mart closed 20 minutes ago."

"So we'll walk around or sit on a bench and stare at our shoes." She looked like she was thinking about it.

"Hold on." She ttok a pad of paper out and wrote:

Mom-

Went walking around with Jess. Be back later. Save me some food.

Rory-

"C'mon." She opened the window and climbed out. He followed. They walked around aimlessly in a comfortable silence.

"So, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope."

"Have you ever had one?"

"Why would you want to know?"

"'Cause theres nothing else to talk about. So is that a yes or a no?"

"Yes."

"What was he like?"

"I'd rather not tell a complete stranger about my former boyfriend/current friend."

"And why's that?"

"Do you wana tell me why you got sent here?"

"Point taken. So what is there to do around here? Let me guess dance clubs, bars. No... not in this place. Too indecent for this town."

"Exactly. My mom and I have this theory that Taylor is slowly buying up Stars Hollow and when he owns it all he's going to re-name it Taylor's Ville. Now that would be nightmare for Luke."

"So whats goin' on between those two?"

"They're in love. Just too blind to see it."

"So you feel like ice cream? Or are you one of those chicks who starve themselves."

"Ha! Me? Now thats funny. I'm always up for anything that isn't lamb guts."

"Lamb guts?"

"Well, I go to a private school in Hartford and my grandparents pay for it and in return we have dinner with them every Friday at 7 o'clock. My grandmother served lamb guts last week. It was pretty god until we found out what it was."

"Too smart for the kids here?"

"I wasn't challenged enough." Then she said almost inaudibly but Jess still heard. "Just like Dean couldn't challenge me."

"Huh."

"What?"

"What are you doing tomorrow after school?"

"Nothing why?" She asked, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.

"Interested in hangin' out?"

"Sure." She tried not to sound too happy. She didn't know him all that well but she felt comfortable around him. Like she could talk to him about anything. She also couldn't deny the fact that he's got a nice body and defined facial features.He had dark brown eyes that seemed like pools of chocolate. She also liked how his dark hair was messy, and his five o'clock shadow made him look orlder. He carried himself with an air like he didn't care about what anyone thought about him. She envied him for that. She was constantly trying to please the people she cared about and that sometimes got in the way of what she wanted. She wasn't this perfect princess made of glass that everyone made her out to be. She didn't think that Jess would treat her like she was, but like a normal person. She had a good feeling about this.

A/N This is pretty short but I'll try to make the chapters longer. I have some doubts about how this turned out so please review. Be brutally honest. If I get enough reviews I'll write more. In the next chapter I hope to get: Lorelai and Rory talking when she gets home, the date, some Dean and some other stuff. I don't like to beg but please REVIEW!
