A/N- Hey Guys! Thanes a bunch for all of your positive reviews and comments. I love them all. This chapter is where Dean gets a little crazy! I know. I realize the whole R/T thing that the story is based on will come to play. I promise. Anywho, I hope you like this chapter as much as I do!! LOL- Moi
On with the show.....
A small, petite woman sat at a desk typing away at a computer keyboard. She looked as though she was quite busy. A tall figure then appeared before her.
" Is this Tristan DuGrey's office?" asked the man
" Yes, but Mr. DuGrey is in a meeting right now. Just take a seat and he'll be with you shortly." said the woman who was Tristan's secretary
" It's important."
" I'm sure it is, but that meeting in there is probably a little bit more important than you suing your ex-employer!" she said sarcastically
" I'm not suing anyone." he replied
" Then why would you need a lawyer? This is a lawyer's office you know. Or did you get turned around on your way to the Texaco station."
" No, and I don't need sarcasm from some two-bit secretary who types for a living."
" Oh, and what do you do. Change the Oil from Mr. DuGrey's Mercedes."
" No. I'm a chef. I cook at one of the best restaurants in town." ( Yes, I know. Dean a chef, but I had to make him look stupid. Ha-Ha. You should know by now that I don't like Dean very much.)
" Which one? The McDonald's around the corner?"
" Funny. What time does the meeting get over?"
" If they're running on schedule in about 5 minutes."
" Good. I'll wait."
" OK, but why might I ask do you need to see him?"
" To help him meet his maker!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Mr. Peterson, we just want to keep you over night just to make sure. Shelley is going to admit you and get you a bed." explained Rory
" Thank you Dr. Gilmore. We really appreciate everything you've done." said Mrs. Peterson
" Just doing my job," her beeper went off " I'm sorry. I have to go now. Shelley will take care of you. I will come back sometime this evening and check-up on you, OK?"
" That's fine. Have a good night."
" You too."
Rory walked out to the admit desk. The nurses, a few doctors, and desk clerks were talking.
" Hey Doc Gilmore," replied Ryan the desk clerk " Tristan has called you like 8 times. He's says it's an emergency!"
" Thanks Ryan. Where's he at?"
" At the office. He said come down."
" Can someone cover my shift?"
" I got it for you Ror." said Anderson a fellow ER doctor, colleague, and friend
" Thanks Andy. I owe you."
" You sure will come my next double shift!"
" Some friend you are. Bye guys."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
" Bag Boy for the last time, What are you doing here?" yelled Tristan
" I came to get my girlfriend."
" Girlfriend? If your referring to Rory, your out of luck because I believe we went over this already did we not?"
" You cocky son of a-"
" We don't wanna use hurtful words now would we bagboy!" he said sarcastically
" Just don't go near Rory, accountant!"
" I'm a lawyer you idiot, and I think that might be a little hard considering I live with her. Have for sometime now."
As soon as Tristan spat out those words, Rory busted in still clad in scrubs and her stark, white, lab coat. Rory raised her eyebrows at Tristan.
" Don't ask me?" he mouthed behind Dean's back
" Dean, what are you doing here?"
" Coming to protect you, Rory!" he exclaimed
" Aren't you being a little melodramatic Dean?" asked Rory rolling her eyes
" I haven't got time for this! Rory, your busy. I'm busy. We need to get on with our lives! Can we please do this some other time?" exclaimed Tristan
" Shut-up Triscuit! Who asked you?" yelled Dean
" Listen, Dean. I have to get back to the hospital. I have a patient that's under my care who needs some tests run, and I have another doctor who's seeing my patients!
I can't do this right now! Please leave me alone! I just can't be stalked anymore. We're adults not stupid teenagers anymore! You run your own restaurant Dean! You're a successful entrepreneur! Be happy and go on with your life and stop trying to get into mine!"
" I never knew you felt like that Rory!" he said shamefully
" Yeah, I do. You were an irreplaceable part of my life Dean, but that part of my life is over. I don't intend to go back."
" Bye Rory," he leaned over and kissed her on her cheek and headed for the door of his office " have a nice life."
When Tristan realized Dean was out of the building and in the elevator, he eyed Rory with a 100-watt lightbulb smile. " Thank you Jesus!" he finally said
" I'm ashamed DuGrey. I thought you had changed after all these years?"
" Well, you thought wrong. I am still the egomaniac I have always been. I have just been hiding it for a while."
" That's too bad, and I thought we were gonna get married!"
" Maybe in a few years. We have to live up to our deal. I want my hundred bucks!"
" I haven't thought about that in years!" she exclaimed
" Well, I think about it everyday."
" You get brownie points for that! By the way, are you going to be able to get off for Thanksgiving?"
" Are you?
" Yeah, so Thanksgiving in StarsHollow?"
" I'm looking forward to Luke's Thanksgiving special: Turkey Sandwich, cranberry dressing, and cinnamon sticks in the coffee."
" Hey! My mom's not that cruel. We'll be eating Thanksgiving at Sookie and Jackson's. My mom or Luke won't even touch the oven. Sookie will do the cooking! It's a Gilmore tradition, but what sucks is we have to go meet with the dilletantes that evening for the Hartford Country Club Annual Thanksgiving Day Ball. Formal attire of course."
" Ahh, Yes, the Thanksgiving Day Ball. I remember it well. Do you remember the year I went with Summer?"
" Do I ever! I was so jealous. You know I hated her. Not for her brains or good looks either!"
" Jealous, huh?" he smirked
" And the ego inflates!"
FlashBack.........
" Rory why don't you go mingle," suggested Emily Gilmore " This is a very important party!"
" If I wanted to know all about the lifestyles of Hartford's rich and famous Grandma, I would have asked Robin Leach!" snapped a very bored and irritated 16-year old Rory Gilmore
" Rory, I'm serious. All your friends from Chilton are here!"
" Their not my friends. Plus, do I even look like I am having any fun!"
" Go. Mingle and look like your having a good time!" retorted Emily
" Fine."
Rory walked to the punch bowl while watching all the snobby, rich Chiltonites. She could just hear them now. 'What on earth is Rory Gilmore doing at the club's Thanksgiving Ball? She doesn't have the money to be here!' she thought to herself.
" Why what do we have here? On your way back from Bethlehem Mary?"
" On your way back from Barbie's oops I mean Summer's dream house Tristan?"
" Harsh words from such a cute mouth."
" Smart words from such a large ego. Didn't think you could complement someone else besides yourself?"
" Some things about me might surprise you! If you no what I mean!" he said seductively
" Is that all you ever think about Bible Boy?"
" No, I mostly think about you."
" I'm touched, DuGrey."
" Only in your dreams."
" Why Rory," exclaimed Summer linking arms with Tristan " trying to hit on my date are we?"
" No, Summer I believe it was the other way around."
" See you around Mary." he said walking away, but before he left winking at her " Later" he mouthed
" Have Fun." she mouthed back
........End of Flashback
" See Mary, I wasn't such an arrogent weasel."
" No, you were the Spawn of Satan."
" I'm wounded." he said touching his heart
" Would you like me to call upon Leo to heal you?"
" You and Lorelai watch way too much TV." he replied rolling his eyes
" So you've seen Charmed?"
" Alyssa Milanno's hot!" he smirked
" Figures! Well, I gotta get back to the hospital. I'll see you tonight at home. I might be late. You want me to pick up some take-out after work?"
" Sure. I'll see you later." he leaned down and kissed her lips softly
" Bye," she went towards the door but stopped " oh Tris?"
" Yeah?" he said
She leaned up and gave him a passionette kiss hard on the mouth. His secretary walked n to find them making out in his office.
" Uh, Mr. DuGrey, Mr.smith calle-" she stopped speaking and slowly went back to her desk shutting the door
" Wow! What was that?" he said rubbing his lips
" A thank you for changing."
" You're welcome. I would do anything for you. You know that."
" Yeah. I'll see you later, Devil Boy."
" Devil Boy?"
" New nickname. My mom."
" Ah. Bye Mary."
" See ya. I love you." she finished
" I love you too."
After she left, Tristan pulled a small, black, velvet box out of his pocket.
" Someday Rory Gilmore. Someday."

So? I hoped you like this chapter as much as the others. I kinda like this chapter despite that it was just a filler to get crazy Dean out of the picture. Now we can get back to the 'deal of things' so to speak. If you didn't know, Rory and Tristan are 27 years old. Only 3 years left till Rory's big 30th and Tristan proposal! Stay Tuned and keep the reviews coming! A big thanx to all those that reviewed last chapter! LOL- moi
