Distributation: You want it, you can have it. Just please let me now where you're putting it. I don't know why you'd want it anyway....

Note: Just to let you all know, this was done out of a challenge
'How did this happen? How did, I, of all people, have to like her? I'm not supposed to like her. Hell, I'm not supposed to like anybody, at least not in the way I like her. I'm supposed to keep my quota as, "player" at Chilton. I just can't dump that reputation in a snap, for her. Especially not for her. What am I gonna do? I went away to Europe this summer to get away from her, but my little plan backfired on me. Whenever it has to do with her, it backfires. What happens when I get back into those damned hall of Chilton? Do I ignore her? I mean, she does hate me and all. She even told me so. Well, not directly me, but I heard her say it.' He sighed then mumbled, "What am I gonna do?" and then sighed again. He was on the return flight to Hartford from France and he was too exaughsted to think any harder. He just laid back into his first-class passenger seat and tried to get to sleep. Restless, yes, but none-the-less, sleep.
Meanwhile in Stars Hollow....
'How did this happen? I was perfectly happy with Dean 3 months ago. What happened?' * He started distrusting you ever since he saw Tristan holding your books*. whispered the teeny, tiny voice inside her head that was now creeping up to the surface *It started there, and then escalated even more when Jess came along.*.' Shut up you!' *It all started with Tristan...* Rory was now playing Mortal Combat with her mind. Then she stopped. And let out a mournful sigh. 'Tristan. Where the hell are you?' She hadn't realized how much she hurt him until it was too late. She had tried to call him and apologize about a week after she had uttered those spiteful words aloud to him. The only thing was, when she had called, the housekeeper said that he had gone away for the summer, but didn't say where. She had pushed that thought away, and had resumed her place in her perfect relationship with Dean, well at least it was perfect then. 'But now since we're broken up and all, I have nothing to lean back on.' She slowly got out of her comfortable bed, and dragged herself outside of her door. "Boy, do I need some coffee" she murmered.
Remarkably, her mother heard her. "About time you got up, I need coffee too."
"Not as bad as I do" Rory said, not even realizing she had said it out loud.
"Hey, what's wrong? Where'd my perky Rory go?
" She went to Bermuda. She had to sort out some things, and she thought a warm climate would help. In the meantime, you can leave a message with disgruntled Rory."
"C'mon, Ror, whatsa matter?" Rory didn't answer. " Fine. I'm not going to force you, but being one of your best friends and all..."
"Don't worry mom, I'll tell you when I'm ready. You're the first on my waiting list to know what's going on in my little messed up mind, well besides me of course."
"Honey, don't say that. Your head's not messed up, it's just confused.. and.. er.. well yeah, I guess you could say it's messed up."
"Oh, you're a big help" Rory told Lorelai sarcastically.
"Yes, well, I tend be. I also try my best." She huffed on her nails, and rubbed them against her Bangles t-shirt.
"Are you ever gonna wash that thing?"
"What my nails? How can you wash.." Rory pointed to the shirt "My shirt? I wash this shirt all the time!"
"Yeah right. When was the last time you washed it?"
"At the last convention." she said matter-of-factly
"In....."
"In.... " she looked down at the ground, and mumbled something that sounded like "1992"
"I state my point. Now let's go to Luke's"
Lorelai snapped her head as if it looked like it was going to snap off. She started chanting "Coffee" all the way there.
"Since when did you want to get coffee so bad?" Rory asked pointedly. Lorelai just started chanting louder. "Nevermind"
At Luke's......
Lorelai and Rory sit at their table and Luke walks over. "So, what are two you having to drink today?"
"I'm sorry. Did you just ask that, because if you did you have no brain. We come here everyday and order the same thing and no you're asking us what we're having to drink?" Lorelai huffed
"So, you want tea?" Lorelai gave him the death stare
"Wow Luke, looks like you're 10 feet underground" Luke mirrored the stare on Rory "Hm.. looks like I am too. I'll shut up now."
Jess walks down the stairs and over to Rory's table. "Hey Rory, sorry to hear about you and your ex."
"What?" Luke almost shouted. Rory didn't even get to answer Jess."He hurt you again? He's going to so get it...."
"No Luke." Rory said sternly. Don't do anything to him. We both decided that I don't love him as much as he loves me anymore. It was a mutual aggreement.
Luke just went behind the counter, while Jess sat next to Rory and Lorelai. "How'd you hear about me and Dean so fast? I mean it was just this morning." Jess didn't know what to say, so he just looked at her. "What am I saying? This is Stars Hollow afterall" Jess laughed. Rory joined in with him. They didn't notice Lorelai slowly backing away...
Lorelai walked over to the counter and saw Luke wiping the counter down, watching Jess and Rory tak aimlessly. Lorelai turned to see them too. "They sorta look good together dontcha think?" Lorelai nodded slightly, eyes still not moving from the pair.
Back in Hartford.....
While Tristan was setting foot into his bedroom, the gossip mill of Hartford was turning to no end. Tristan had his door open, and could hear a convorsation between his parents going on downstairs. He faintly heard his name be mentioned, so he listened.
"Phillip, you won't believe what I heard at the club today."
"What's that?" He said while still reading his paper
"It's about Tristan's return from Europe."
"How so?" He said while now looking at his wife, Sherri
She suddenly had a flashback.... (AN: I love flashbacks..lol}
"Marge, the Dugrey's son just came back from Europe"
"Oh really? Why ever did he go there in the first place?"
" I heard it was beacuse of some mental breakdown"
"Well I, heard his grades were slipping quite a bit, so Sherri and Phillip sent him to summer school. But to avoid scandal here in Hartford, they sent him to Germany" Chimed in a another woman.
"That poor boy"
"Well maybe he just went there for a vacation, you know, to get away for a while."
"Nah" they all courused
Sherri was across the hall from them, and could hear their whole conversation.
End of Flashback
"It was horrible Phillip! Just horrible!"
" Well, if they bring it up in a conversation, we'll deny it. Tristan is not going to embarrass us this time."
While hearing that statement come out of his father's mouth, he carefully shut the door, as to not show evidence of his spying. Then, he got mad. He flopped down on his king-size bed, face down. 'Embarrased? When the hell have I embarrased them? Since when? Well, this is just another thing to add to my ever-growing list of how many things in my life are not right. What number is this? I'm losing count. It's gotta be in the hundreds by now. Somehow, I need to make my life better. But there is no way in Hell, that I embarras my parents. That's final.
