Heavy Glow's A/N: Here we are again for another chapter! All I have to
say is please review, we need to know if ppl want us to continue with
this story or if it bores the hell out of everyone!
ShadowGoddess's A/N: We think are story is great. But if you guys love it or hate it, let us know. We could do another story. And we really like this one- so it's kinda annoying when we only get one review for a chapter. But we still love the people that do take time to review. So more people review.
Chapter 3
"You see, my life at home hasn't exactly been perfect...ever. Contrary to what some people may think," Tristan started.
Jess nodded, "I can understand that, that's one of the reasons I now call Stars Hollow home."
Tristan nodded, "It's just my Father, he's very powerful where I'm from, it's either his way or the open road-"
"And you chose the open road," Jess said with a smile. "Can't say I blame ya."
"Exactly, and not everyone from my town likes my Father either, and I felt that the people I wanted to know wouldn't give me a chance because of my Father, and the people I didn't want to know, they'd never leave me alone," Tristan said. "People always had the wrong idea about me, I just couldn't take it- and ever since my mother died a couple of years ago, well I just didn't see any need to stick around. I didn't think anyone would miss me, especially my father."
"Well that doesn't explain the wanted poster," Jess said. "Maybe he does misses you and wants to find you."
Tristan laughed bitterly, "If you knew my Father, you would never say that. I don't know why my Father wants to find me, but I know he has to have an ulterior motive. He never does anything because he cares, he does it because it would suit him.
"I'm sorry to hear that man," Jess said putting a hand on his shoulder. "You don't have to say anymore, I understand."
"Thanks," Tristan said. "It actually was a relief to kinda get all out though."
"Well, if you're going to be a friend of mine, I don't think its fair for you to be so down while I'm on the up and up," Jess said in a light hearted way, to change the mood. "We gotta get you happy."
"How?" Tristan asked staring at Jess' once again- mischievous eyes.
"We were on our way to meet my friends right?" Jess said. "Maybe its best I introduce you to a certain girl."
"A girl," Tristan said with a smile. "That's something I can handle."
"Good lets go, everyone is probably there by now," Jess said.
"Oh, Jess- can you do me a favor?" Tristan asked. "No one can know that poster is about me, if someone saw how much money my Father was offering- I'm gone."
Jess nodded, "Done."

"Dean are you sure you want to go to the lake?" Rory asked him.
"Sure, why not?" Dean wanted to know. "We can sit in the sun, enjoy the beautiful day...and talk."
Rory giggled, she knew what he meant when he said talk. Dean was a little shy when it came to their relationship, so instead of saying what he meant, he usually said the opposite. "I love the lake, but I think Jess said something about the MacDougals and that wild bunch hanging there today."
"Like a party?" Dean asked.
"Well, I don't think so. But its too early for a party- but when it comes to them, I'm never surprised," Rory said.
"Who cares if they're there, the lake is big enough for everyone, we'll just try to find a spot where we can be alone," Dean said smiling over at Rory.
"I love when you get all romantic," Rory teased.
"Well I just love being with you," Dean said, wrapping an arm around Rory's waist.
******* Meanwhile Tristan and Jess headed for the same clearing that Rory and Dean were headed too. As Jess talked about Lena, Tristan wondered where Rory was at that moment. 'She's probably with that Dean fellow. what could she see in him? He has horrible floppy hair. he has no respect for her, he gropes her in the middle of the street as if she were a dance hall girl.' Tristans thoughts were interrupted as a squeal of delight came from in front of them.
"Jess! You brought the mysterious stranger!" a girl with curly red hair exclaimed in delight.
"Lena. I'd like you to meet Troy." Jess told her.
"Hello Miss." Tristan took her hand. "Its nice to meet you."
"You too! I'd like you to meet Maria." She replied. A young Mexican girl stepped to the side of Lena.
"And these here are the MacDougal boys, Jake and Ronnie." They gave Tristan a brief nod, watching him closely.
"Hi," Maria said meekly. Jess looked from Tristan to Maria and grinned. Maria would definitely show him a good time.
"Come on Lena, lets go for a walk and let these two get to know each other better." Jess took Lena's arm and headed toward the river. Jake and Ronnie followed silently.
"Would you like to sit down by the river Troy?" Maria asked.
"Sure." Tristan agreed.
"So where are you from?" she asked as the sat on the riverbank.
"I'm from north of here." Tristan gave her a brief answer, he wasn't going to make a habit of telling his business to people he hardly knew.
Maria let it drop, sliding closer to him. "So Troy, how do you like Star's Hollow?"
He glanced at her, maybe she wasn't as meek as he thought she was. "Its ok so far, the people are nice enough."
"Depends on who they are I guess." Maria inched even closer. 'Soon she'll be sitting in my lap.' He thought. "Now me, I'm real nice.." She leaned in and kissed him. ******* Rory and Dean were now close to the same clearing. "So Rory, the square dance tomorrow night, you're still going right?" Dean asked her.
"Yes I a-" her voice flattered when she seen the now familiar form of Troy and what she liked to call the Star's Hollow slut stuck at the mouth.
"Rory? Are you ok?" Dean asked her.
"Yes. I'm fine Dean. What were you saying?" Rory began to lead Dean away from the clearing.
"I was saying- where are were going? I thought you wanted to sit in the clearing by the riverbank?" Dean asked confused.
"It suddenly got to crowded." Rory replied, pointing to the couple.
"Why that- who do he think he is? Why I ought to-" Dean huffed.
"Don't worry about it Dean. We can go somewhere else." Rory pulled gently at his arm. "Just leave them."
"Anything for you Rory. I'll just have to straighten him out when there are no ladies present." Dean began to walk.
Rory didn't understand why this upset her so much. She thought about this as she walked away from the clearing. 'What right does he have to come into this town and act as if he has lived here forever! Jess should know better to befriend strangers. He could be a wanted man for all he could know! He could be a bank robber just casing the town, befriending the people to get closer!' Inside she fumed, but deep down she knew that wasn't the reason. She wondered why Troy was here, she'd have to corner Jess later to find out what he knew about this so called Troy Denver.
"Dean what do you mean straighten him out?" Rory said, finally taking in the full meaning of his words. "I don't want you getting into any trouble over something as inane as Troy Denver and Maria Flores."
"Rory you worry too much," Dean said with a forced laugh. "Believe me, I won't be the one getting into trouble..."
