Set in "But not as cute as Pushkin" after Anna's gone missing and Rory is searching her with the help of Marty

Chapter 1 – Lost and found

Rory was furiously searching for any sign of Anna. Since the moment she lost her she after her argument with Logan she was searching every party on the campus and hoping that she would find her as soon as possible and without any harm done by one of the students.

After screaming at the three stooges she had called Marty and he was willing to search the campus with her.

When they entered the next party they split up and scanned the room hoping to find Anna at last. While Rory was scanning the room she saw the face of a blond boy and for a moment she thought that it was someone she'd known since Chilton but then the person disappeared in the crowd and Marty came back to tell her that Anna wasn't at this party.

They decided to leave and look for the next party but before they could reach the door Rory felt someone appear next to her.

While she was turning around this person leaned forward and whispered "Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?" and Rory felt her eyes going wide. "Tristan?" she completely turned around and saw that smirk she'd known for years. "Mary, did you miss me?" he inquired and Marty saw something he thought Rory would never do. She flew into the arms of the unknown man but it seemed that he wasn't the only one who was surprised because the eyes of the blonde man showed his surprise. But that didn't last long and after a few seconds he returned the hug and buried his face in Rory's hair. After a long lasting moment they separated and that was the moment when Rory remembered Anna. She started to get into a panic but even before Marty had a chance to get Rory to calm down Tristan had already hugged her and started whispering calming words in her ear. What he saw next was a side of Rory Marty had never seen. She seemed to melt into the blonde man he didn't know and it wasn't long after the she'd started to panic that she was completely calm again thanks to the blonde man and on her face was even the trace of a blissful smile that Marty had also never seen in Rory's face.

"Calm down Mare! And tell me who that Anna girl is, that gets you into such a panic!" Tristan looked in the face of Rory who was still in his arms and at the same time she looked up. She could feel the blush creeping on her cheeks because of the ice melting look Tristan was giving her but she decided that they would talk about that later because Anna was more important right now.

"Anna is a girl from Chilton Charleston sent here to me to show her Yale. I lost her while I had an argument with Logan and now I have to search her."

"Huntzberger? I heard of the prank they did in Professor Bells class to impress a girl. It was you? Then I have to say either Huntzberger doesn't really know you or he is an idiot! I'm going to help you! I know some places where a party should take place today. But I've got no idea what this Anna girl looks like..." Rory looked at Tristan like he was her hero and that look told Marty a lot more then he had wanted to know. There was some physical attraction between the blond boy and Rory but furthermore it was obvious for him that these two shared some kind of history.

While he was thinking about this Rory seemed to remember that he had been searching with her cause it was then that she turned around to him, still in Tristan's arms and said "Marty I want you to meet a friend of mine from Chilton. This is Tristan. Tris, this is Marty. I met him in my first year at Yale." Marty felt the eyes of the blond looking at him in a judging manner and before he could say anything Tristan stuck one of his hands out to him and said "Nice to meet a friend of Mary." Rory could see the confusion in Marty's eyes because of the name and in order to prevent any questions she looked at him "Is it ok with you if we separate? You know what Anna looks like and Tristan doesn't have a clue. If we are two search parties that there is a higher chance that we can find her." While she was talking to him there was a pleading look in her eyes that begged him to go along with her plan and in the end he didn't have a chance but to nod which made Rory's eyes sparkle. When she turned around to Tristan Marty saw a flicker of something in her eyes that seemed as if it was just for Tristan and he could see her blush as she noticed that she was still in Tristan's arms but also the reluctance when she left the embrace.

Before they separated they made a plan to call if either of the groups was able to find Anna and the last thing Marty heard was Rory telling Tristan how grateful she was for his help.
