Rory walked into the house smiling. It'd been a long week but it ended on a good note. She would have been upset that Taylor had announced it to the whole town that Dean had hit but everyone already knew since he had hit her in broad daylight right in front of Luke's so she had already come to terms with that. She still hadn't told Lorelei that this wasn't the first time but everything was beginning to go back to normal and if Lorelei knew it wasn't the first time then she would press charges.

"Rory!" Lorelei called when she walked inside.

"Kitchen!"

"Hey sweets. How was your walk?" Lorelei came in and saw Rory beaming. "What? What are you so happy about?"

"Well Mom, Tristan and I…."

"Oh my god! you guys are a couple!"

Rory nodded, grinning.

"Ugh finally. I was about to yell at you for making him wait so long!"

Rory scowled at her mom. "Mom! Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because, you had to found out for yourself!"

"Mom"

"Yeah?"

"I don't think we should tell the grandparents about this. I think we should just tell them that Dean and I broke up and that I'm going out with Tristan"

Lorelei sighed. "You don't think we should tell them what happened?"

Rory shook her head. "No I don't"

"Ok then I guess we won't"

"Good"

"So what happened to make you want to go out with Tristan?"

"Well…."

It was Friday Morning. Rory was running late again so she was jumping from place to place throughout the house and getting all the stuff she needed. She grabbed a pop tart and ran out the door. Tristan was leaning against his car with a cup of coffee ready for her.

"Hey girlfriend"

Rory smiled. "Hey Boyfriend"

they kissed. and got into the car as he drove off.

"I'm telling the grandparents about us tonight"

He raised his eyebrows. "Really?"

"Yeah, I have to tell them that Dean and I broke up and since they'll probably ask if I'm single I decided I would just go ahead and tell them"

"Are you going to go into full detail of what happened?"

"No. I don't want them to know"

"The whole town knows and you don't want your grandparents to know?"

"Well with the town, I mean they'll make a big deal but after about another week or so something else will happen and they'll forget about it"

"I'm sure they won't forget this"

Rory shrugged. "Maybe but if I talk to Miss Patty they won't talk about it in front of me. With Grandma and Grandpa they'll blame Mom for letting me date him and then they'll send the police and CIA agents after him. I just want it to be over with"

Tristan nodded and continued driving until they reached Chilton. They went through their day, with a lot of stares from absolutely everyone as Tristan walked Rory to everyone of her classes. Holding all of her books. Paris smiled when she saw them, knowing instantly what had taken place. She was happy for both of them.

The end of the day came fast and Tristan drove Rory home and joined her and her mother at Luke's.

Lorelei rang the doorbell.

"Are you sure you don't want to tell them?"

"Yeah I'm sure"

The door opened. "Hi can I help you?"

"Yes Hi We're from the CIA and we were wondering….."

"Hi, don't worry about her, we're here to have dinner with the gilmore's" Rory said politely, ignoring the evil looks coming from her mother.

"You ruin all my fun"

"You embarrass me"

Lorelei stuck her tongue out.

"Very Mature Lorelei, Very mature" Emily said as she walked in on the little argument going on between her daughter and granddaughter.

"Hi Mom nice to see you too"

"Hi Grandma"

"Hello Rory. Richard is in his study making a few calls he'll be out in a second. Would you like a drink?"

"Yes Thank you" They walked into the living room and Lorelei and Rory sat down on the couch as Emily poured drinks.

"So girls, Tell me, what's the latest gossip?"

Rory glanced at Lorelei.

"Oh nothing much"

"Well hello girls, Sorry about the call." Richard said as he walked in and sat down on the couch. Emily handed everyone drinks.

"Its ok Grandpa. Was it a fun call?"

"Oh yeah" Richard laughed. "Very fun indeed"

Rory glanced at Lorelei. "Grandma, Grandpa. I have some news"

"oh? What is it?" Emily asked as she sat down next to her husband.

"Dean and I broke up"

"Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that, dear, when did this happen?"

"last Sunday, Rory answered. "I have a new boyfriend though"

Emily looked surprised. "Already?"

"Yeah. You'll know him too. Tristan Dugrey"

"Tristan Dugrey? As in Janlen Dugrey's grandson?" Richard asked.

Rory nodded. "Yep, that's the one"

"Well I'll be darned. That's fantastic. We should have a dinner. Invite the Dugrey's and have a family dinner" Emily suggested.

"Oh no, Grandma that's okay. We just started going out, we'd like some time together before anyone meets the parents"

"Ok fine, but later we will"

"Thanks Grandma"

"Your welcome dear"

Tristan walked into Melanie's room Friday afternoon to find his sister standing in front of a mirror wearing a green mini skirt and a black tank top on.

"Where are you going that you need to look like that?" Tristan asked.

"A party" Melanie Answered.

"No"

Melanie spun around. "Yes. Your not the boss of me Tristan I can go If I want"

"I may not be the boss of you but I am your older brother and I say you can't go to a party looking like that"

"Tristan, come on! Can you for once not play the overprotective brother role and just let me have fun?"

"No I can't. I'm sorry"

"Fine" She sighed. "You don't have to agree with me. I'm going whether you like it or not"

"Melanie" He pleaded. "Please, you can go to the party just wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt with a sweatshirt over it"

"Why?"

"Because then guys wont notice you"

"You think guy's will notice me in this?" She asked getting excited.

"No"

"Darn. Oh well."

"Melanie!"

"Tristan!"

"Fine you can go. But, you have to be back by 11"

"12"

"11"

"11:30"

"11 or your not going"

"Fine." She groaned. "I hate you"

"I love you too" He kissed her forehead and walked out the door looking at his watch on his way out. It was 5:45. He sighed. What was he going to do until 8 when Rory got done?
