Distribution: 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....

Feedback: I don't think it would kill you to send some over my way....

What do they see in me? Not including Rory of course. But what do those "other" girls see in me? Granted, I have been graced with good looks, you can't deny that, but I only present myself skin-deep. Are these girls, so shallow, that they only look for good features on a guy, as boyfriend material? They don't know how I am inside. This is just #56 on my list, and I started this list 7 months ago That's not very long ago. Nobody knows who I really am. That's #1. Nobody knows. Not even my closest friends, which are at Chilton. So they only see my outer shell as a "player", and a jerk, just like everyone else. The only reason why I let myself go at Madeline's party, to Rory anyway, was party because I was in shock. I mean, I had been dumped. I'm not supposed to be on the receiving line of the dumping, so yeah, I was a little in shock. I had been vulnerable, and weak. I didn't think it was a mistake we kissed. I would never think that it was a mistake. I don't think she thought it was a mistake either. Yes, she may have been on the rebound, but face it, we do have excellent chemistry together.



The Elder Gilmore's Residence



Rory and Lorelai drive up to the enormous mansion, but just sitting there, until Lorelai broke the silence. "Ror, you haven't said anything on the trip up here. I know you and Dean broke up, and you're upset, but it seems like something else is nagging at you. Care to share?"

"Not really" Rory answered abruptly.

"Okay," Lorelai said in a mixture of a sigh and a huff, "But that was the last time I'm gonna ask" As she finished that sentence, they walked over to the door. Just as Rory was reaching over her mother for the doorbell, Emily opened the door.

"You're here!" Emily said in an excited tone.

"You know mom, You should really work for one of those psychic hotlines. You would fit in real well, except everyone else would really hate you because you'd be the only real psychic there."

"Oh Lorelai, try not to be so ridiculous sometimes." Emily replied in an exasperated tone, and then changed to excited in a split second. "Come in, come in!"

"Well, I know this can't be good"

"Come and take a seat in the parlor." Once they did, Emily started again, this time only talking to Rory." Rory darling, remember how I mentioned a grandson of Richard's businessmen left for Europe?"

"Er...um...no"

"Well guess who's back?"

"Um, chess player, Bobby Fischer?"

"No silly, Tristan DuGray!"

"He is?!?!" Rory perked up immediately upon hearing his name. Lorelai was watching her very closely at that point.



After Dinner....



"Grandma, the dinner was delicious, and I had a great time!" Lorelai was pretending to gag until Emily glanced over her way.

"I'm glad, how about you, Lorelai?"

"Oh yeah, time of my life" with that comment, the pair walked outside to their jeep. On the way back to Stars Hollow, Lorelai started a conversation that Rory was unprepared for. "You know, I now know something has seriously gone wrong in your head."

"How so?"

"Well, when my mother, told you that Tristan DuGray, aka: Evil One, aka: Bible Boy, has come back, you lit up like a christmas tree. To make it worse, you were actually complimenting my mother on the dinner. Have I taught you nothing?"

"Do you have any sort of point to this conversation?"

"Not really, I mean, I told you that I wasn't going to ask you if you wanted to talk, anymore. But I think you have a thing for him."

"WHAT? I DO NOT HAVE A THING FOR TRISTAN DUGRAY!!" Rory shouted, so loud, she almost made Lorelai drive off the road.

"Wow, I'm officially deaf. Ouch, you shout too loud."

"I don't you know, have a thing for him, I don't."

"Sure you don't, and I have a thing for Luke"

"But you do"

"Uh..well...that's besides the point. You have a thing..."

"Don't finish that sentence" Rory warned. Lorelai didn't, but she sure as hell knew that she had a thing for him.
