Dismissed: Gilmore Style

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: Wow! I am getting so many positive reviews! I am soo happy! You guys made my day! It feels great to know that people really like your material. Well…I am totaling up the votes (Tristan or Jess) you can still 'vote' because I am deciding to make this a little longer than planned. I probably have one more chapter to go after this one. If you want, I can do a sequel to show what happens after the show. Only if you want it though! So review and tell me if you guys want a sequel. Wow this is the quickest I have ever written a story…amazing…Michele is going to love me! Not that she already doesn't! (Hehe!) Well anyway...on with the story!

In the Car

"We're here." Tristan said as he got out of the car and helped Rory. Jess just sat there looking at Tristan expectantly. "What?"

"Where are you manners?" Jess asked in a high-pitched voice with a smirk.  

"Whatever. I trust you can get out of the car yourself seeing as how you're not a lady." Tristan replied with an identical smirk.

"Jackass." Jess answered. "You ruin all my fun."

"Oh my God!" Rory gasped as she saw the sight in front of her. "This is beautiful Tristan! I love it!"

In front of Rory was a wide beach with white sand and blue waters. (Think of the Caribbean sands and waters people!) There was no one on the beach. In the center of her view, right near the water, was a basket laid out on a blanket. Right near the basket, still on the blanket, were three candles. Inside the basket were the essentials for living; coffee, cheeseburgers, French Fries and a ton of ice cream. They all sat down and ate in silence, with Rory in the middle of the two guys. After about 20 minutes, Tristan pulled a red card out of his pocket. "Time-out dude."

"Yea, yea I know. I'll be back in 20 minutes. I'll be up on the pavilion if he tries to drown you Rory." Jess said winking at Rory.

"So. What have you been up to since I last saw you Ror?" asked Tristan as he slipped his arm around her shoulders.

"Nothing much." She replied as she leaned into his touch. "Paris and I became President and Vice-President of the Student body in our senior year. We both went to Harvard and roomed together. We both majored in journalism. And now I work for her. Oh and I forgot to mention that we both graduated as co-valedictorian in high school and college."

"No escaping her once she gets you in her grasp." Laughed Tristan.

"Got that one right. What about you?" Rory questioned as she looked at the ocean.

"When I got out of George Washington Military Academy, I went to Yale and graduated with full honors. I majored in law but I work as a bartender now until my dad settles everything so that I can take over the family Firm. I live in a condo in Hartford. What about you. Where are you living now?"

"What are you a stalker?" she joked. "I work at the New York Times with Paris and I share an apartment that we first bought hen we got out of college but she is going to get her own apartment so I will get full responsibility of the apartment. Meaning it will be alllllllll miiiiiiiiiiiiiine!" Rory said as she cackled.

"You're crazy. And that's why I love you." Tristan said as his lips met hers in a passionate kiss which pretty soon turned out to be a full-fledged make-out session. 15 minutes later they heard someone clear there throat.

"Hey Jess." Rory said as she looked up nervously, color creeping up onto her cheeks.

"Time-out." Jess said as he pulled the red card out of his pocket. Tristan got up and left for the pavilion.

"What the hell was that?" Jess asked playing the part of the over-protective brother.

"I don't know I guess I just got swept away in the moment." Rory replied.

"Don't let it happen again. I don't want you to get hurt." Said Jess looking into her eyes.

"Yes Dad." Rory said, leaning in to hug him.

"Good. Now that that is done. Go to your room you're grounded for a week."

"But Daddy!" Rory whined.

"Come here." Jess said as he leaned forward to hug Rory. "I just don't want to see you get hurt. You're like a sister to me and you know it. I'm just looking out for you Rory." He whispered in her ear.

"I know. You want to go get Tristan. I think the 20 minutes are up."

"Sure. Let's go."

On the Pavilion

The shrill sounds of Jennifer Lopez's Let's Get Loud filled the quite, nighttime air. "Damn phone." Rory cursed as she looked at the caller ID. It read Mom-Home "Ugh. Hold on a sec guys. My mom picks the most inconvenient times to call me."

"Hello?" Rory said into the cell phone.

"Oh dear, darling daughter of mine." Lorelai replied.

"What Mom. I am in the middle of my dates." "I know. That's why I called you. To see how the dates were going. So…how are they?"

"There great mom. I have to go. I will talk to you when I get home."

"I want details!"

"Bye." Click

"WHAT?" Rory said, getting very annoyed at her mother.

"Jeez. What's up your ass hon?"

"Fine. You can have the details now." Rory replied. 20 minutes later and all the juicy details, Lorelai finally hung up. "Just make the right decision." The words still rung in her ears. When they were all in the car, Rory nearly passed out because she was so tired. When they got back to the parking lot Rory spoke up.

"During the car ride I was thinking. (*Wow. So it's true. She can think.* came from Jess) I figured out who I want to pick. Just remember, no hard feelings for any of you. You guys are amazing friends and no matter what happens I don't want to loose that. So…I pick----------------------------------"

A/N: Hehehe! ::cackles evilly:: Cliff hanger! Don't worry! I will post the next chapter by tomorrow. Tell me if you guys want a sequel following Rory and ----------------------------------'s life and relationship following the show. So email me, review, do whatever!  Just let me know how you like it, who you want to win and if you want me to do a sequel or not. Michele is probably holding an assembly in my honor right now because I have been updating so fast on this story! She's probably going to have a day dedicated to me and have my face on Mt. Rushmore and make my birthday a National Holiday and build a shrine out of my computer and…hey a girl can dream can't she? So…in the words of Oscar Proud 'Adios Muchachos!'
