Heavy Glows A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys! Especially one in
particular! I will try to check out some of the shows for some ideas!
There's a reference in this story to Jesse James, I know nothing about
him, and I just used his name because it fit that part. Jesse James
wasn't part of the time period that this story is based in. well .. I
don't think anyway. We do not own Gilmore Girls as was stated in the
last chapter, we are just using the characters, except for the ones
you don't know.which would be "Troy". technically.. (Hint*Hint) neways
to clue up my long a/n. REVIEW darn it!!!!!!
ShadowGoddess's A/N: The only thing I know about Jesse James, was from that movie about the James/Younger gang, and it was a good movie. I highly recommend it! I'd just have to remember the name of it of course....lol.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Chapter 2
Rory continued to watch Troy from a distance, and laughed when he made a comment on the eggs that her mother had cooked! She wondered how her Mom talked Luke into letting her cook anyway, because everyone knew her Mom wasn't allowed in Luke's kitchen. Even if he was madly in love with her.
"Hey Rory!" Dean said. "What are you doing hiding over here?"
"I'm not hiding," Rory said, awkwardly coming from around the corner she was hiding from.
Dean seemed too preoccupied to see that Rory was obviously lying, "Can you believe this?" He said gesturing over to Troy and the rest of the town. "I don't see what the big deal is about Troy Denver, he's still a stranger- we don't know if we can trust him."
'That's exactly what I said,' Rory thought. But coming from Dean, it sounded different...almost mean. Did she sound like that? Rory shook her head, Dean was right, "Listen, let's go out for a while, maybe a walk by the creek?"
Dean turned to Rory and smiled, "Anything's better than being around here."

After Breakfast was over, Troy was just about to head back up to his room when Jess grabbed him by the arm.
"Don't tell me you're heading up to that hot room," Jess said.
"Well what do you suggest?" Troy asked seeing the mischievous look in Jess' eyes. Troy liked Jess enough, but he could tell he was trouble, or a kid looking for trouble. And Troy wanted to stay out of trouble- he didn't want any attention brought to him. He didn't want anyone to know where he was, it was better that way.
"Well I thought I could show you around, and show a newbie a good time!" Jess said. "C'mon I'll introduce you to my friends." They headed across the street and stopped in front of the stable run by Kirk.
"Your friends?" Troy asked warily.
"Ronnie and Jake MacDougal, brothers. They're different as night and day, but they're cool though," Jess said. "And Lena..."
"Lena?" Troy asked, smirking at the way Jess softly said the girl's name. Did Jess have a crush?!
"Yeah, she's just another friend," Jess said waving a hand dismissively. "Anyway, you in?"
Troy thought for a moment, "Well, I guess I don't really have anything better to do."
"Great!" Jess said slapping Troy on the back. "Let's go."
"Wait..." Troy said stopping in his tracks. "Just how good of a time are we talking here?"
"It' still early, things won't get too crazy, I promise," Jess just smiled again, "C'mon Newbie, I'll show you how to have fun in a town with nothing to do."
****** Jess and Troy walked around town, Jess with a purpose, Troy just following.
"Hold up there boys." Someone called from behind them. It was Sheriff Forrester. "You young folk wouldn't happen to be looking for any trouble would you?" The Sheriff eyed Troy.
"No Sheriff Forrester!" Jess replied in innocence. Troy gazed at the Sheriff.
"You boys come in here for a minute." The Sheriff motioned them.
"What's up with him?" Troy whispered.
"He thinks that me and Rory have something goin' on. Rory goes with the Sheriffs son, Dean." Jess rolled his eyes.
'So that was who the guy with floppy hair that hung all over his Rory was.' Troy thought. 'His Rory?' the Sheriff cut through his thoughts.
"Have a seat boys. I'll be with you in a minute." The Sheriff walked to the back of the jail. Troy looked around his office, there were wanted posters scattered over his desk. Jess grabbed a couple and rifled through them.
"Hey! Check this out!" Jess showed him a poster. It read "Wanted: dead or alive! Reward $2000, Jesse James!" Jess nodded. "That's pretty cool."
"You boys haven't happened to see someone fitting this description have you?" The Sheriff seated himself at his desk. He handed Jess a slip of paper. "Missing: 18-year-old male, 6"2, blonde hair, blue eyes. His name is Tristan DuGrey. If seen, must be taken back to Hartford, believed to be headed east. Do not harm, he is not dangerous." Jess glanced at Troy, giving him a strange look he replied to the sheriff. "No sir, the only new person in town here is Troy and he's my cousin. Came all the way from Louisiana just to visit me."
"Troy here is your cousin?" The Sheriff eyed them both wearily. Something wasn't sitting right with the Sheriff, this Troy had told him he wasn't going to be sticking around town long. And people who were visiting family didn't say things like that. Oh yeah- Sheriff Forrester was definitely going to keep a eye on Troy.
"Yes Sir." Troy nodded, giving Jess a quick glance. "All the way from Louisiana!"
"Alright boys you can go about your business. But don't let me catch you doing anything Jess, you hear me?" The Sheriff stood up. Or you Troy...
"Yes Sheriff Forrester." Jess and Troy walked out of his office towards the creek. "You wanna tell me what all that's about Tristan DuGrey?"
Troy cringed at his true name, then he smiled, "What makes you think I'm this Tristan DuGrey?"
Jess laughed good naturedly, "Troy- Tristan, whatever your name is- don't try to fool a master alright? Yo u goin' be straight with me or what? Because, I did just save your butt and I don't do things like that for just anyone."
Tristan just sighed, "You promise not to tell anyone?"
"I don't have a reason to share other people's business," Jess said seriously. "Although you should watch out for Ms. Patty and Babette."
Tristan laughed, "Oh, I could tell that just from meeting them at breakfast."
Jess laughed too, "The biggest chatterboxes in town I tell ya! They once had the fact that I stole the Sheriff's badge as a joke circulating the town by lunch- which is why till this day- the man can't stand me, well that and other things..."
"You're an okay guy Jess," Tristan said, resisting the urge to ask how Babette and Ms. Patty found out he stole the badge. Jess was a interesting character alright. "And I hope what I tell you, you keep between us..."
