Rory walked into the diner nodding to Luke and sat in an empty booth by the window.

"So Rory whats up? No mother begging me for coffee right now?" asked Luke coming over to take her order.

She tried to smile but it just didn't work. " No I'm meeting someone here."

"Hey kid, You alright," asked Luke.

"Just peachy. Ill wait till me friend gets here to order."  She replied.

Luke nodded and walked away, giving her her space.

Luke looked up from a customer at the bar as the door opened up and Tristan walked in wearing his usual Abercrombie prep boy attire and looking completely out of place. He looked around searchingly for a second and then walked over to Rory's table.

"Hey Rory how are ya doin?" as he slid across from her.

"Fine, I guess." She replied still looking down, then his words finally registering, "Wait did you actually call me Rory, for once," she asked wide-eyed.

" Yeah well don't get used to it," he replied while smirking slightly.

Luke came strolling over, "Who are you?" he asked bluntly looking at Tristan.

"Tristan DuGrey, pleasure to meet you."

Luke grunted in reply.  "So what can I get you? The usual?" he asked Rory.

" Yup," with a smile

" What about you?" He asked Tristan.

" I'll have a cheeseburger, fries and coffee." Rory turned and stared at Tristan wide-eyed once again.

 Luke looked at the ceiling and mumbled under his breath, "God! They've corrupted him too. Alright two burgers, fries and coffee coming up." He walked away shaking hios head.

Rory continued to stare at Tristan in wonder.

"What expecting caviar and sushi?" He asked innocently.

 "Sorry just surprised. You actually eat regular food?" She looked up questioningly.

" I've had my share." He smirks.

" Anyway, what's this plan you've got and why are you helping me?" Rory questioned suspiciously.

" Well I figure the only way to get lover boy back is to make him realize what he is missing."

" I'm afraid to ask this but how do you propose to do that?"

He smiled wide and looked into her eyes bending close, "We're gonna make him jealous."

" Yup, I was right I'm now terrified." Rory sat back.

"You find out where he's gonna be and we just happen to show up at the same time. Together."

" Alright, considering that he hates you, it might work." She replied.

" But why would he care, He was the one who broke up with me." She asks sadly as she remembers what happened a tear slowly falls down her cheek.

Tristan reaches across and wipes it away. She looks up but refuses to meet his eyes He sighs and sits back.

" Look I know what you're going through," he says seriously. " I mean Summer broke up with me just so she could make out with anything that breathed. I know where you're coming from and I can see how much you miss him.  And trust me I have a lot of experience with wanting someone that you can't have. " He turned and stared out the window.

" Here you go, guys." Luke placed their orders in front of them. He noticed Rory's tear stains and the strained silence and glanced disapprovingly at Tristan.

" Hey is this punk bothering you kid, cause I'll kick him out in a second if he is."

"No it's not his fault."

 Luke shook his head while walking away.

Just then she saw Dean over at the grocery store talking to the cheerleader. But this time instead of being sad, she gets angry.

" Bastard."

" What? What I do now?" Tristan's head shot to look at her and he asked angrily.

Rory starts to stare out of the window and suddenly turns to face him.

" I'll do it."

" Do what?"

" Your plan. I'll call you tomorrow with the details."  She got up and quickly left before she bursts into sad and angry tears.

 "Hey Lane could you do me a favor?" asked Rory over the phone.

"Sure, what this favor entail?"

"Well, Tristan has this plan of helping me and Dean get back together so I need you to do a little undercover work and find out where he and the cheerleader are going to dinner on Saturday."

"Wait a minute, did you just say that TRISTAN is helping you get back with Dean? Why would he want to do that?" Lane asks confused

" He said that he knows what its like to want someone." Rory replied

" You do realize that this plan must have benefits for him or he wouldn't do it." Lane reasons. "What exactly is this brilliant plan?"

"Well Tristan and I are going to go to the same restaurant and when dean sees us together he'll become jealous."

"And Tristan thought this one up. Why am I not surprised? So let me get this straight he got you to agree to out with him and act nice the whole evening in order to help you get back with the boy whom he hates?"

"Well when you put it that way... " Rory starts.

"That boy's defiantly got more brains than I gave him credit for. He actually got you to go out with him." Lane said.

"Lane stop putting reason into this. I can't take it. I just want my boyfriend back and if it takes a night of playing nice with Tristan I'd do it. Besides he's really not all that bad"

 

"Boy girl you do want him back. Alright I'll help I'll call you later tonight with the info."

"Alright later Lane"

Lane hangs up and sighed "I hope that girl knows what she's getting herself into."
