Disclaimer: I dont own the Gilmore Girls.

Keeping similar to the episode except what Im changing. Hope you like it.

Rory hangs up the phone as Lorelai comes down the stairs. "We're rehearsing here now." Rory almost panics.

"What?"

"Paris didn't want anyone spying on us, so now we're rehearsing in Stars Hollow. Here in stars Hollow. This sucks!"

Lorelai looks confused, "At least you don't have to drive to Hartford now."

"Tristan is in our group." Rory shakes her head.

"I know, you told me."

"So Tristan, he's in our group and so that means he's coming to Stars Hollow, and Dean's here so this sucks. I have to tell him."

"Tell who? Tell what?"

"Tell Dean, that Tristan and I, that we kissed at the stupid party. I habe to tell him, because if Tristian sees Dean, he'll tell him and then it'll be worse, because it'll be like I kept him from him."

"Okay calm down." Lorelai puts her hands on Rory's shoulders to try and calm her down.

"Which I was, I was keeping it from him, I can't believe it. Now I have to tell him."

Lorelai pulls her over to sit on the couch, "You're right."

"I am?"

"I think you should tell him."

"Yes, I have to." Rory agrees.

"Then at the play when Tristan enters to find you dead and is about to kiss you Dean can leap from the audience and rip his head off adding a level of reality few productions have ever seen before. You'll get and A the actors studio will go nuts and you'll have James Lipton asking what your favorite word is. It's a great plan."

"You're not helping." Rory says.

"To prevent a homicide? Yes, I am."

"I have to, I don't have a choice."

Rory practices telling dean with her mom pretending to be Dean. It ends badly and Rory is left undecided on what she is going to tell Dean. Or not tell him that is. Lorelai leaves for her date wishing Rory luck and Rory heads to Ms. Patty's.

Rory gets to Ms. Patty's to find Paris, Louise, Madeline, and Brad.

Paris asks the question Rory wanted to know the answer to, "Where is Tristan? Didn't he come with you?"

"He went to the market, said he needed cigarettes." Louise replied.

Uh oh. "I'll be back." Rory says rushing off to the market, hopefully before it's too late.

Rory arrives at Doose's just in time to see flour all over floor and hears Dean.

"You know what? I hope for Rory's sake that you got an understudy."

"Hi." Rory says rounding the corner. "I need to talk to you."

"What is he doing here?" Dean says to Rory as she steps between them. "I got something to settle with this guy."

"Outside please," Rory says putting her hand on his chest. When he doesn't move right away Rory pushes him a little harder and drags him outside.

"Alright! I'm outside!" Deans says exasperated.

"Sorry I didn't tell you before, but Tristan," Rory pauses, How much to tell? "Tristan is playing Romeo—"

"To your Juliet, I heard." Dean Groans.

Rory tries to explain, "Sorry I didn't tell you before, He wasn't even in our group at first, but then he had too many ex's in the other groups and then Paris moved the rehearsal to here and I didn't have time to tell you. But it's just a project."

"You and Tristan get thrown together a lot." Dean paces, "You and Tristan Romeo and Juliet. Perfect. Really amazing."

"I know you hate it."

"Yeah I really hate it. I hate that guy." Dean says jealously.

"We do the scene on Sunday, then it's over. Then it's back to Tristan who?"

"You must mean that young boy who got mysteriously strangled, by a Doose's Market apron one night."

Maybe her mom was right, Rory thought, maybe she shouldn't tell Dean about the kiss, Instead she added, "I heard about that. Awful. They say drugs were involved."

Jess leaned against the wall between the buildings across the street. It was obvious neither Dean or Rory knew he was there. He watched them with a sly smirk on his face. He couldn't hear what they were saying exactly but he couldn't say he wasn't amused by the fact they were obviously fighting. He watched as Dean walked off as Rory reentered the store. He moved to follow after her but took a step back as she came out the door with a blonde in tow.

Must be the reason for the argument, Jess thought. He was suddenly not so amused about their fighting. He watched as Rory pulled him out of Doose's by the wrist and started down the street. Blonde dick had smirk on his face as he spoke with Rory.

Blonde dick stopped walking and pulled Rory to face him. Jess got a look at her face and initially looked aggravated but under than, and Jess wasn't completely sure from this far away, it looked like Rory was interested in what he had to say.

"Tristan, stop, let's just get this over with!" Jess heard Rory yell. Happy to see her mad at him.

So the blonde dick had a name.
