Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls, sadly but the plot's mine.so please read and review!

Chapter 2: Meet the somewhat wacky town-Stars Hollow.

Summary: Rory Gilmore's life isn't as simple as it has been. Tristan changes making her re-think her feelings for him. Dean changes making her not know why she's dating him in the first place and her mother disagrees with Rory causing a rift in their relationship.

"Okay, so favorite movie?" Tristan asked Rory. "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, of course! You?"

"The same!"

"Yeah Right!" Rory laughed at the thought of Tristan DuGrey watching Willy Wonka. "Really!" he protested as Rory began laughing harder. They had been talking for hours in Starbucks. "Tristan, seriously what's your favorite movie?"

"Willy Wonka, I swear!" she began cracking up but became silent quickly. "Fine, you like Willy Wonka,"

"Hey, Rory do you think we could be friends?" he asked her quietly. She looked at him and a smile formed on her lips. "I guess but you have to tell me the truth about your favorite movie!"

"A Walk to Remember,"

"Right and that's much more believable!"

"It's a good movie Rory,"

"Fine, fine like whatever movies you want,"

"You ready to go?"

"I don't know.my town will probably all think I'm cheating on Dean if you come with me into town,"

"Whose Dean?" he asked her innocently. "Oh, I'm kind of seeing him,"

"He's your boyfriend," he said flatly. "Umm.no we've only had like a few dates I don't know how serious we are right now," she said nervously biting her lip. "Oh," was Tristan's only comment. "So, you know if you don't want to bring me I understand because believe me my town is weird I'll just take the bus from here." she rambled on and Tristan quickly stopped her. "Rory," he said softly but she continued to talk. "Rory, I'll take you really its not big deal,"

"Okay," she agreed grinning at him. "I bet you're scared of the Oompah Loompahs," she teased him. "I am not!"

"Oh come on Tris!" Their blue eyes collided at the nickname Tristan's full of surprise. "You are aren't you?" she asked with a laugh. "You'll save me right Rory?"

"I don't know," she said teasing him. "Please?" he begged her as they walked to his car. "Well.you did buy me coffee!" "Thank you!" he cried out with a grin making her smile as well. They drove into Stars Hollow passing the sign that said 'Welcome to Stars Hollow' and almost right away he noticed the cell phones being pulled out from people while they gave both him and Rory odd stares. "I told you they'd be weird," she said with a smile. "Stop here," she commanded. "This is your house?" he asked surprised. "No, silly!" came her exclamation. "This is where my mother and I eat, meet and drink coffee!"

"But it's a Hardware Store!"

"Trust me," so he followed her willingly into the place that said 'William's Hardware'. To his astonishment and surprise it was a diner making Rory shoot him an 'I told you so' smirk. "Luke!" cried out a woman who had just entered the diner who had black hair and blue eyes. "Lukey!" she called out again. Rory just rolled her eyes in response to the woman. "That's my mom," she whispered as they sat down at a table. "What do you want?" came gruff reply of what Tristan assumed to be the owner of the diner. "That's Luke," she whispered in explanation. "Owner of the diner-or Luke's," she continued as Tristan watched with amusement of the banter going on between the two older people. So, maybe it was Gilmore Girl thing, ignoring the obvious of who was in love with them. "Oh, Luke you're the bestest!" the female cried out. "Bestest isn't even a word," he grumbled. "But you just said it!" she said with glee. "I will never understand you, Lorelai,"

"And I won't understand you either, how can you hate coffee? And burgers? Come on Luke it's like my oxygen mask,"

"Mom!" called out Rory smiling pleasantly at her mother. "Hey mini-me!" came her reply pulling out a chair and sitting down. Not noticing Tristan, sitting to the left of her. "Hello Ms. Gilmore," he said politely. Rory gasped and Lorelai nodded. "Hello," came her cool reply, not saying she preferred Lorelai, not wanting this rich snobby kid to call her Lorelai. "Mom, this is Tristan." she introduced him. "Hi," he said again making Lorelai roll her eyes. "I thought we already established the hello thing," came her cool reply again. "Mom!" Rory hissed appalled at her rude behavior to what she hoped was her new friend. "Rory!" she mimicked. "MOM!" she said louder still appalled at her behavior. "Rory, shush," she commanded. "Luke!" Rory suddenly called out walking over to the counter. Tristan sat there uncomfortably as Lorelai stared him down. He looked down at his lap fiddling with his hands and not looking Lorelai in the eye. "Let's go Tristan," Rory said grabbing his arm, sending a glare to her mother and continuing her way out the door two coffees in hand. "So, we'll do a quick tour on the way to my house and then we can study for the English test tomorrow,"

"Okay," he quickly agreed following her fast paced walk. "That's Miss Patty's dance studio, but watch out she likes all men," she whispered as they rushed past making Miss Patty let out a whistle. "Oh my god!" Rory broke into a fit of giggles. Tristan chuckled, also feeling embarrassed that the whistle was directed at him. They arrived at what he assumed to be the Gilmore home, considering the name on the mailbox did read Gilmore. They walked in and Tristan fell in love with the house, it was smaller than his own but filled with more love than any single room had in his house. He looked at the pictures across the mantle while Rory backed up to the table with the answering machine and put down some of her embarrassing pictures. "The kitchen's this way," she said walking that way to get a pop tart. "What's right here?" he asked gesturing to the door on the left. "My room," she said being preoccupied by looking for pop tarts. He opened the door to see Rory's room; it was so Rory that Tristan had to smile. The bulletin board with the Harvard flags along with pictures of Europe and he noticed the piles of books all around her room it was all in such Rory taste. "Tristan?" Rory called out not knowing where he went. "Yeah?" came his reply. "Where are you?"

"Your room," came his response. "Well get out, come on we should be studying,"

"All right," he agreed reluctantly coming out from her room. He ambled into what he assumed was the living room. "Here," she said clearing some junk off the table and it landed on the floor with a clunk. "What was his wife's name?" Rory asked Tristan referring to Shakespeare. "Anne Hathaway," came his reply. "Yeah, now you have to ask me a question,"

"Name some of his plays,"

"Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet."

An hour or so later suddenly she heard Dean's voice. "Rory?" she went over to the back door with Tristan right behind her. "Hey Dean!" she greeted with a smile. "Who's he?" he asked suddenly Dean's smile fading from his face. "Dean meet Tristan, Tristan meet Dean,"

"What's he doing here?"
