Author: Julz

Pairing: R/? (Actually I do know but I'm not gonna spoil it!) L/L

Summary: Rory's boss decides to give Rory a few weeks off from work. But she has other plans in mind. Her and Lorelai team up and force Rory to go on the MTV show 'Dismissed'. Rory goes on two amazing dates with two amazing guys but she has to pick only one of them. But the thing is, they are both lovers from the past!

A/N: YAY! This chapter is finally getting done! Whoo hoo! Hehe. I'm definitely takin a break from Things…and I am putting Changes on a verrrrrrry long hiatus. Just thought you guys would like that. At the end of each chapter I am going to put a confession for the TV-show people. So…without further ado...I bring you…Dismissed: Gilmore Style!

Stars Hollow: Crap Shack

"Rory! Do you have everything?" Lorelai yelled from her position on the couch.

"I think so. Just my purse and my duffel bag right?" Rory asked from her bedroom.

"Yea." Lorelai replied.

"Then yea, I have everything. If this turns out to be the dates from hell then I will hold you personally accountable for it." Rory threatened.

"Paris had something to do with it too you know." Lorelai whined.

"The government frowns upon killing your boss." Replied Rory with a smirk.

"Yea, well the government frowns upon having a child at 16 but hey. Look at me! I'm not really one for rules hon." Lorelai responded with a grin.

"Whatever. I'm getting my books."

"What books are you getting?"

"Fountain Head and Pride and Prejudice."

"Ahh. Good choice hon."

"Thanks. Now I'm off. I have my cell so call me if you need me. Love you." Rory said as she kissed her mom good-bye and walked out the door.

"Bye Ror! Have Fun!"

Hartford

"Hey man. Do you know who the girl is?" asked a tall, blonde-haired man.

"Nope. You?" replied a brunette who was of average height.

"Not a clue. They wouldn't even give me a hint. All they said was that she was 24, she was from Connecticut and that she now lives in New York."

"Oh. Look. I think she is here now." Said the brunette.

"Hi. I'm Rory." Said Rory as she stepped out of her metallic baby blue 2003 MR2 Spyder. (LOVE THAT CAR!!) "Tristan?!?! Jess?!?! Oh My God! I can't believe it!" she said as she hugged both of them.

"Hey Mare." Said Tristan.

"Ugh. Still infuriating." Rory responded glaring at him mockingly with a small smile spreading to her lips.

"Hey Lor." Said Jess with a smile. (Who knew the boy could smile?)

"Jess." After the break-up when they were younger, they managed to become really good friends. They kept in touch and talked to each other all the time on the internet. On the other hand, no one had seemed to hear from Tristan. Ever since he went to military school, it seemed as if he had just fallen off the face of the earth. (Now who would want that?) Saying Rory was surprised with who the dates were was the understatement of the millennium.

"So. Are we going to just stand here and hug all day or are we going to go to the first date?" asked Jess. Rory nodded and Tristan laughed. "To my date it is."

Outside a coffee shop in Hartford

"It's a coffee shop." Deadpanned Rory.

"Glad you know what it is." Said Tristan.

"But it is a place where you can go inside, sit down and get coffee and eat and drink coffee and---"

"Rory! Shut up and let's go inside!" said Jess breaking Rory away from her babbling.

"Right." Said Rory as she walked into the coffee shop.

"Oh my God!" she gasped. "There's books too! Yay! Oh my God jess! This is amazing! Eek! Hi yes…um…I'd like two extra large white mocha lattés please."

"Got coffee?" whispered Tristan to Jess. In the short amount of time that he knew Jess; Tristan knew that he was going to get along very well with him. They had a lot of stuff in common. Example: they both hated Dean and wanted to kill him.

"I heard that Mister." Rory said as she pointed a finger at his chest. When Tristan and Jess had finished ordering, they sat down and talked. They had sat there for over an hour and it was time for Tristan's date.

"So. I think its time that we left for my date. Onwards!" said Tristan as he followed Rory and Jess out of the café.

CONFESSIONS

Rory's

"I think what Jess did was great. He knew I loved coffee and he knew I loved to read. I think I know who I'm going to pick but I want to see what Tristan has in store for me on his date."

Tristan's

"Jess knew what Rory liked and he used it to his best advantage. Granted he went out with her, would make things a little more difficult for me. I just hope I win her over with my date."

Jess'

"I think my chances of winning are really good. Rory and I have a past but I don't want that to affect her choice. I want it to be fair. So that I know that whoever wins, she really likes. I just hope Tristan's date doesn't mess up my plans."

A/N: hey there! I am back! Wow! That was a really fun chapter to write. So, I am taking polls...in the review I want you to post who you want to win…either Tristan or Jess. Then I will tally up the votes and see which one she will pick. I kinda have it all planned but I will see if the votes sway my decision. So…review and tell me who you want to win!

Next Chapter: Rory goes on Tristan's date and talks to her mom. Will Lorelai change Rory's decision or not? Will the guys finally take the time-outs? Find out in the next installment in Dismissed: Gilmore Style!
