Hey all you people on FF.net. Thanks for all the reviews. LOL not-so-dumb-blonde :

A/N-It's a week later. Tristan and Rory are on spring break and on their way to Stars Hollow. Lorelai and Luke have finally come to their senses and have started dating. Jess and Paris are being flirtatious but not dating. They will before this fic is over.

On with the show.......

" Tris can we please stop for coffee!" begged Rory

" We just stopped for coffee an hour ago!" exclaimed Tristan rolling his eyes

" Well that was an hour ago, and I can't go another hour without coffee!" she whined

" Fine the next Starbucks we come to we'll stop. Deal?" he said trying to make a deal with her so she would no longer whine

" Deal!" she said enthusiastically, smiling ear to ear like a child at Christmas

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After stopping in Hartford at Starbucks, for the 5th time on the trip, they arrived in front of Rory's house, and they dropped their bags in Rory's old room, and went to the kitchen

" Hey look, mom left us a note" she said

Rory read it aloud:

Hey Mini-me and Bible Boy,
I am at Luke's getting coffee. Or trying to anyway. As soon as you get settled in come to the diner. We'll talk, and Jess is very anxious to get his book. He says hurry! I really glad you're home, Ror! I love you.
Love, Mom


" Alright, let me grab Jess's book and then we'll go!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

At Luke's....

" Lukey pleaeaeaease. It's my life support, my oxygen, the only thing worth living for!"

" No. It will kill you." grunted Luke

" I'll die happy buried with my coffee maker and you beside me!" exclaimed Lorelai

Luke blushed. He knew he had to give her coffee then.

" Fine." he said pouring the coffee and setting in front of her

Lorelai took her first sip and sighed

" Ah, liquid goodness. There's nothing like your coffee babe!"

" Thanks. Babe." said Luke kinda nervous at her calling him babe

Just as he had handed her the mug, Jess came marching down the stairs and attempted to walk out the door.

" Where are you going?" asked Luke

" Out." replied Jess

" Rory's coming," That stopped Jess in his tracks " and she's bringing your copy of the first edition Oliver Twist!"

" Alright. I'll stay, but just for Rory!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tristan stumbled into the diner to meet Lorelai and Luke.

" Hey Bible Boy," yelled Lorelai as he came in the door " where's Rory?"

" She's at the pavilion with Jess." he said with a sigh

" Sorry, but they're just friends."

" I know, but I can't help but get a little jealous." he replied pathetically

" Calm down. I have a plan."

" What plan?" asked Tristan confused

" Oh just a plan I have to get you and Rory together that doesn't involve Jess, Dean, Chris, Brad, or any other guy she has dated or been friends with in the past! I really think you love my daughter and deep down I really think she likes you, but she just needs a little for lack of a better word boost!" she stated nonchallantly

" I'm all ears!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" So you like the book, huh?" asked Rory

" I love it Ror, but I love you more!" exclaimed Jess

" Really?"

Rory was confused. She had know idea that Jess had feelings for her. Wait she thought. I thought I liked Tristan? She was really confused, and didn't know why? She liked them both, but did Tristan like her?

" Yeah Ror. I do. I have for a long time, but never really done anything about it. We never really talked about the time we kissed at Sookie and Jackson's wedding the summer you left to D.C. We just acted as though it never happened, but I felt something Rory. I felt spark there. I really, honestly love you Rory Gilmore." he poured his heart out to her and leaned over and kissed her, but this time she didn't run away

Tristan just watched from the window of the diner. His heart being ripped out of his chest, pulled, stretched, stomped on, and crushed into little pieces.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Sorry about that. It won't be for long! ( Hint Hint) Well, see-ya L8ter! LOL MOI
