Disclaimer~ If I owned any of these characters I wouldn't be a high school junior and I would have more money than I do. That being said I really don't want to be sued.

Synopsis~ Tristan Dugrey comes to Yale because of his father's wishes but what is going on inside his head when he gets there? Trory and I'm going to extend it to java junkie.

A/N~ Thank you to everyone who reviewed. I appreciate it greatly. Sorry for the long time in between updates, I've been really busy lately with homework, family, a new dog (now making it three) who insists on sitting on my lap while on the computer (Russell says 'hi'), and everything else. I was going to update yesterday but I came down with a really bad cold and couldn't stop sneezing and coughing enough to type. Today it's just coughing....yay! Anyways, I won't keep you're time, here's the chapter:







A Wrinkle In Time

Chapter 18: Returns and Intrigue

After they stopped laughing at Tristan, Rory and Lorelai finished their coffee and went to get ready for the day while Tristan took Hershey for her morning walk.

He was happy to hear that Lorelai wasn't mad at him. He was also elated to see that Lorelai was willing to welcome him into the family as unconventional as it was. He and Hershey walked around until they found the small secluded bridge. Rory had never mentioned the bridge but it was quickly becoming his favorite space. But it seemed to be someone else's as well. As Tristan got closer he saw a guy about the same age as him except with dark hair reading a book.

"Are you going to keep staring or is their a reason your out here?" The guy asked.

"Oh I was just walking my dog...I'll leave you alone if you want."

"I thought you were Taylor or Kirk or someone equally annoying. Now that I think about it, I've never seen you around." He said while sitting up.

"I'm just visiting with Rory."

"Oh."

"I'll just go, you look busy."

"Yeah...busy" the boy said deep in thought.

Tristan and Hershey walked back to the house slowly. Once there, Hershey fell asleep in the kitchen and Tristan went into the living room. He saw Rory and her mom laughing and forgot all about the guy at the bridge.

The three left for Luke's and walked there as if they were in there own world. They walked into the dinner to find it empty except for Luke standing behind the counter. Lorelai walked over to beg for her coffee while Tristan and Rory sat at their table.

While Lorelai was flirting with Luke as usual, he let on that Jess was back.

"Jess?" she whispered remembering the boy that had broken her daughter's heart.

A/N~ Ok that's it for now, Russell's on my lap again and it's preventing me from typing. He finds the computer interesting for some reason. Anyways, REVIEW please!!.......it would make me feel a little better. I'll update again sometime soon so review!
