(Rory's POV)

I couldn't help but laugh, "Yea Tristan your infamous Mary has returned." He put down his book and literally sprang over to where I was standing.

"Who would have thought that I would see little Miss. Mary tonight," he flashed his devilish grin then lifted my left hand, "But I think I have to call you Mrs. Magdalene now." His face dropped and he looked sincerely sad. I couldn't help but pull him into a hug.

"You of all people should know that I will always be Marry." She whispered in my ear. We both broke apart laughing. After a couple of minutes we both calmed down and sat on the very large arm chairs.

"So Mary, who is the lucky guy?"

"O…Logan, Logan Huntzberger." I said sheepishly.

"Well for someone who hated society you sure married into it." He said teasingly. I smacked his arm lightly.

"What about you? Is there a Mrs. Bible Boy around here somewhere?"

"Nope...no one has managed to keep my attention long enough." He said it lightly but I could see that he his mood suddenly dropped so I asked about what he did during and after military school. He told me all about North Carolina and how later he went to Princeton (which got him back into his father's good graces) and now he was traveling the country and world helping out the different offices that his father's company owns. Then he asked me what I had done with myself, at first I was only going to give him the quick and happy version but something about talking to him just made me tell everything. Everything that happened with Dean and I, Paris, Yale, the beginning and end and beginning of Logan, the yacht, Mitchum (who was now eating out of my hand since I am working for his biggest competitor). Once I was done Tristan looked shocked. Who knew that his Mary would lead such a life? Especially after being so sheltered throughout the first few years of Chilton.

"Well," he started, "I'm glad that someone got you out of your shell" Just then Logan knocked on the door.

"Hey Ace we gotta go.." He stopped short when he saw Tristan. I quickly went over to him and kissed his cheek.

"Babe this is Tristan, I went to Chilton with him." I quickly explained.

"Ah bible boy." Logan laughed.

"Yup that's me, so Rory if Logan doesn't mind I would like to take you to lunch sometime, you know to catch up and all." He looked nervous. I guess that's because last time he asked me out somewhere I screamed that I loved Dean and hated him.

"Ya Ace you should go...it would be nice to catch up right?" Logan readily agreed. So I nodded to Tristan and stole a sharpie from the desk. Grabbed his hand and wrote my number on his palm.

"Call me anytime alright bible boy?"

"I'm holding you to that Mary." He looked to Logan and shook his hand "Nice to meet you man."

"Ya you to." And with that Logan and I left the study and the party. I couldn't help but have a smile on my face. Maybe this time Tristan and I could really be good friends.

(Tristan's POV)

I couldn't belive it, I just talked to Mary. We had a civil conversation without any bickering or flirtations. Who knows? Maybe third time is the charm...

AN: So I thought that Rory should have a view in all of this, don't you? Its a little longer than the last few chapters but band camp (yes I am a band geek...well colorguard to be exact) has me completely exhausted so I figured something is better then nothing.

Please review!
