A.N. Okay, again, sorry sorry sorry!!! I'm going to give you two chapters mushed into one here- as an apology (I just expect twice as many reviews) hee hee. Sorry again for the abrupt ending of the previous chapter.

Continueing….

"Rory!" The small girl squealed as she pulled the man out of the way and ran to Rory with her arms open. Confirming Tristan's recongnization of the man, but he couldn't help but smile at the tiny girl. She looked about five or six and had a full head of brown wavy hair, which was pulled back in two delicate clips. She was a perfect reflection of Rory. Big brown eyes and rosy cheeks. The same smile graced her face as she ran to her.

"Lori!" Rory exclaimed back, gathering the girl into her arms. "How was school today?"

"Fine." She sighed dramaticly. Tristan chuckled. Rory shot a suspicious glace at him, he through her the 'I wonder where she got that from?' look.

"What's wrong with it?"

"I haven't learnt how to read yet." They all let a small chuckle.

"Oh, well, give them a chance to catch the other kids up, your just to smart!" Rory cooed.

"Ok. Are you coming with us to McDonalds?" She asked hopefully.

"No sweetie I can't, I have to work. Maybe next time okay?" She sighed and looked at Tristan, smiling, she turned back to Rory and whispered something in her ear. The two giggled and smiled. "Yes he is isn't he?" Rory put Lori down. "Jess, I'll seeyou guys this weekend, Lori and I have a date for Beauty and The Beast Don't we Lori." The girl nodded furiously. " It was really good to see you again." She gave Jess a quick kiss and then kneeled back down to Lori. "I'll miss you monkey."

"I'll miss you too Kangaroo." Lori repeated. She hugged Rory and nubbed her nose against Rory's, giving an Eskimo Kiss.

"Bye!" Lori waved to Tristan.

"It was very nice to meet you." He said charmingly, giving her a kiss on the hand. The girl giggled as Jess pulled her out the door. Rory watched them go and then closed it. Stopping in her tracks when she saw Tristan's questioning glance.

"What?" She asked innocently.

"Nothing." She didn't buy it. She stood with her arms crossed, waiting for an explaination. " It's just, umm, how long have you two been going out." He babbled, his overriding confidence failing him.

"Me and Jess?" She asked, surprised.

"Yeah."

"One Week but it never turned out, I was to busy with Chilton and stuff."

"In Chilton?"

"Yeah, at the beginning of Senior Year."

"So he's not your boyfriend or husband now?"

"No Besides, he's not my type!" She giggled.

"Why?"

"Well, for one…he's married.

"Lori's not your daughter?"

"No!" Rory laughed at his ridiculousness, "She's my sister!. It happened when I was 20! Luke and mom were married, you knew that!"

"So your not dating anyone?" He said, rising and putting his hands on her waist.

"No silly! Why would I…" She was cut off by his lips smashing into hers. She moved closer, and after awhile, pulling away. He held her in his arms, letting the sweet smell of her shampoo filter into his senses. He smiled and kissed her head. "This is nice." She sighed, pulling back to look at him.

"What is?

"Having you here it…nice."

"Well, good I'm glad to hear it." He sent her a million watt smile that made her want to go weak at the knees. "Go out with me next Saterday, I want to show you something!"

"Yes Sir!" She smiled as she mock saluted.

A.N. Okay, I want up to 70 review for the next chap. It's already typed so, I'll put it up whenever I feel like it. Reviews or not. I just like intimidating you! Hee hee.

p.s. This story is only half over… There is still another big plot coming later. The next two chapters are fluff though. That's not all bad right? And your welcome for telling you it was Jess!
