Rory walked into Luke's and sat down at the counter "Where's your mother?" Luke asked Rory "She hasn't stopped by yet, and I was starting to get worried."
"She had to go to the inn But she was devastated that she didn't get to hassle you for coffee this morning" Rory explained
"She had to go in this early?"
"Well, you know, duty calls, and she is the manager"
"Yeah, true" Luke grumbled. He almost looked disappointed. Changing the subject intirely, he pulled Rory to the side. "Rory, do I seem jealous when Lorelai is out with other guys?" Luke asked in a low- almost confidential tone, remembering Kirk and his previous conversation.
"Yes, and I also think you have a deep infatuation with my mother." Rory stated, a slow smile spreading over her face while she noticed Luke's; speechless.
Once he regained his voice and what was going on around him, "Who asked you anyway?" he told her gruffly, and walked away. Rory now had a full-fledged smile on her face.
Lorelai walked in and sat down next to Rory. "Why are you so happy?" she asked obviously perturbed.
"Oh, nothing" she sputtered, trying to restrain herself
Too late
'Well, at least I tried' she thought while bursting into giggles
"Ok, your name has now been changed form Rory, to Miss Giggles. " Lorelai told Rory, not getting what was so funny.
Rory slowed her giggling pace down a bit. "Hey didn't we have a fish named Miss Giggles?" She pondered, and then started giggling again
"Rory, are you on something?" Knowing her daughter, that she certainty wasn't on anything, she continued, "Cause whatever you're on, I want some"
The question about Rory's light-hearted expression was forgotten as the two eased into comfortable conversation.

"You know Mary, I think I kinda like our little locker meetings. Don't you?" Tristan asked Rory, posing his usual position up against the locker next to hers.
Rory snorted in disgust "Oh yeah, they're just the highlight of my day."
"Really Mary? I thought today's would be when I show you the keys to the janitor's closet." he leered
"Oh, shut it. You know you really need a nickname too. Will Triscuit do?"
"How the hell did you come up with that nickname?"
"I don't know. The name just suits you. Tristan and Triscuit sound so much alike. It's only fair, Triscuit."
"Well you know," he started "I'm not for nibblers"
"Tristan, you're not for anybody. You're too much like pond scum." She threw playfully over her shoulder as she walked to class.
'Boy is it great to do this everyday' Tristan thought to himself.
______________
"He's going to be held back"
"Well his grades have been slipping quite a bit...."
"They aren't meeting the Chilton standards."
"We could offer him a tutor"
"That won't don't do. I doubt that he'll listen to the tutor."
"Well, what do you propose we do?"
Rory had stayed after school that day to checkout some books form the library for a project. Now that she was done, she was starting to walk down the hall to get to the main entrance when she started to overhear a conversation in a classroom. Normally, she isn't one to eavesdrop, but somehow, her feet weren't moving.
"I suppose transferring Tristan to a different school could help"
Rory froze. Were they talking about Tristan DuGray? They must be, there's not any other Tristan in Chilton. If they transferred him, Chilton would sure be boring. Maybe a bit more easier, but much duller. He kept her on her toes, and active. He worked her mind.. She listened on to the conversation more.
"Thank you Headmaster Charleston. We'll send our decision to you on Friday."
Rory heard footsteps approaching, so she hid behind a wall.
"DuGray's have always had academic excellence. Tristan knows this."
"Philip, this is going to be all over the country club. It's going to be deja vu all over again. He's going to embarrass us again, just like he did last time"
Assuming that these people were Tristan's parents, she decided to step into the conversation. She couldn't let Tristan get transferred over something like grades.
"Um, excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. DuGray? My name is Rory Gilmore" The DuGray's turned around to face her. "I couldn't help but over hear your conversation. Tristan's a good guy. Some times very annoying and arrogant, but still a good guy. I know that this isn't any of my business,"
"It definitely isn't young lady" Philip interrupted, but Rory continued anyway.
"But I'm sure his grades aren't that bad, that you'll have to transfer him to a different school. I know you said getting a tutor won't help, but let me just talk to him. I'm pretty sure he'll listen to me. Don't make your decision yet, okay?" After Rory ended, she walked away out to the bus stop, leaving the elder DuGray's standing, perplexed.

"Tristan! Get in here." his father bellowed up the grand staircase
'What the hell did I do now?' Tristan thought as walked down the stairs and into the foyer.
"Son, your grades have been slipping quite a bit this semester. Academic excellence is only accepted in this family." Philip stated
"We were debating on whether or not to transfer you to a different school" Sherri continued
"What?!?!" Tristan shouted. He couldn't be transferred; not over his lousy grades, dammit. A picture of Rory flashed through his mind. What would happen if he was transferred? He would probably never talk to her again.
"But apparently we were being spied on by a young lady, what was her name Philip?"
"I believe she said her name was Rory Gilmore. Can you imagine? A Gilmore doing such a thing. It's disgraceful."
Tristan's ears perked up but at the same time, he rolled his eyes at the last statement
"She said that you were a 'good guy' and we should let her talk to you before making our decision"
"This Rory girl apparently likes you enough not to see you get transferred, Tristan. I hope you listen to her."
Tristan was left thinking as his parents walked up the stairs.

"You talked with my parents? Why?" Tristan asked Rory the next morning
"Actually, I do believe I saved your ass from being transferred. I wouldn't ask questions." Rory told him.
"I don't know why you stood up for me" he paused "I though you hated me" he said with disgust.
"I don't Tristan, okay? I don't. At times, you're very conceited and annoying, but that doesn't mean I hate you. I think I went a little overboard on my feelings that day"
"What about the beav? You still love him?" Tristan asked quietly
Rory laughed. "Like I said, I think I went a little overboard on my feelings that day."
"Okay. But what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Tristan, I don't want to see you get transferred. You need to try a little bit harder on those grades. I know you can. You're not stupid, I know that as fact." Tristan chuckled. "I don't know what's going on in your life. I don't know what's making your grades slip. But whatever is, don't let it anymore."
"I'll try, but I can't promise anything. Wanna walk to first period with me?"
"I guess."
Tristan slung his arm over Rory's shoulders. "Mary, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship"
Rory shook his arm off. "In your dreams" Tristan just laughed.
