A/N: okay this idea just kinda popped into my head while I was walking home from school to day so I decided to write it out. BTW everything that's happened on the show as of today, march 17, 2003 (Happy St. Patrick's Day!, even though I'm not Irish) has happened and I don't know how I want it to go (I got home 30 minutes ago so its a really raw idea). Oh and I don't own GG just this story.

Not Suppose to Happen

*****

Tristan was going through his things when he came across an old book, 'Lord of the Flies' he read wondering why he would have it. 'Since when would I read this?' he thought to himself. Curious, he opened the book to where he assumed he left off, he studied the tickets he had used for a bookmark. 'PJ Harvey?...Her.' he thought remembering the day he made a jackass of himself. 'Rory Gilmore. I must have seen her reading it. Oh well.' Just as he closed the book the dinner bell rang. Mike hopped off his bed and almost ran to the dinning hall when he noticed his bunk-mate was completely un-phased by it.

"Come on DuGrey. Dinner."

"Earth to DuGrey. Snap out'a la-la land. Tristan!"

"Huh?" Tristan finally said snapping out of it.

"Dude, shake a leg the dinner bell rang."

"Oh right. I'm coming."

*****

All through dinner Tristan's mind was somewhere else. Tristan decided he wanted to do something to take his mind off of it, her, everything. When Mike and a few of the other friends he had made asked him if he wanted to work out with them he did. They stayed there for about an hour until a few started to leave. Mike, Kevin, Kyle, Tony and finally he was all alone. When Tristan got back to his room half the guys were already in bed. Tristan took his shower and crawled into his bed. However uncomfortable he had gotten used to it and soon enough he drifted off to sleep.

All of a sudden Tristan woke up in a cold sweat. He was thinking of her, he knew it. Tristan leaned over to his night table and reached for a pen and pencil. He sat up; he didn't need a light because the moon was glowing, illuminating the dull room. He began to write:

'Dear Rory,

If you're wondering how I got your address I don't know, I'll probably get it from one of the computers here. You'd be surprised how much we can find out here. I don't really know why I'm writing this, maybe I'm crazy, I don't know, maybe to say I'm sorry. because I am, I'm pretty sure I've told you I'm sorry and I meant it but now I really am sorry. I probably shouldn't be writing this, knowing your boyfriend he'll probably come down here and beat my ass to Tucson but I am. your probably thinking why I would care but the truth is I do. I liked you Rory, I still do I guess, or else I probably wouldn't care. I don't know why I like you I just do maybe it's because your beautiful, but the best kind, you don't know it, you don't think it, and you probably don't even care. Maybe its because you're smart, you're not afraid to speak your mind, and you always kept me on my toes. You're seriously weird, you know that? You're welcome. I like that about you. I doubt that I'll actually send this but just in the slight chance that I do I want to ask you, why? Why didn't you like me, I mean besides the obvious? Did you like me? Why wouldn't it have worked? I could have made it work. I'm not saying that I'm head over heels in love with you but...I don't know, I need to go to sleep anyway, its 3:55 and I need to be up at 6:45.

-Tristan

P.S. I miss you, Mary.'

Tristan folded the letter and placed it in an envelope he had in his drawer. On a small piece of paper he scribbled:

'Find address for Lorelai Gilmore, Stars Hallow, CT.'

Tristan placed the letter and the note on his night table, and went to sleep.

*****

The next day went as usual, line up, breakfast, first classes, drill, lunch, and last classes. When Mike got back to his room he noticed an envelope with a note on it. 'Find address for Lorelai Gilmore, Stars Hallow, CT' he figured that Tristan wanted him to do it since he hadn't taking it with him. Mike found the address and scribbled it on the envelope along with the address of the school, Tristan's name and their bunk number. Mike dropped in the letter along with his mail and didn't think twice about it.

*****

"Dude did you see a letter I left here?" Tristan asked Mike

"Yeah. I mailed it for you two days ago." Mike answered coolly

"Why would you do that?! Shit! Do you know what I wrote in that letter?! Shit!" Tristan was freaking out. 'And Rory's gonna read it and... oh shit!' he thought.

"Who did you address it to? "

"I don't know. Some weird chick name, I think it was...Lorene Gilmore."

"Lorelai? Ah crap!" Tristan said still freaking out. 'Maybe she'll see my name and give it to her...Yeah maybe.'

"What's the big deal, man? I mean who's this Lorelai chick anyway?!" Mike said in the same tone but not as deranged.

"Nothing. Nothing. She's nobody." Tristan said trying to convince himself more so then his bunk-mate. Mike wasn't buying it.

"Dude no one gets that worked up over nothing. Who is she? I mean you haven't talked about anybody from Connecticut."

"Nobody, she's no body. I don't even know why I flipped. Sorry dude, its just...she and her mom have the same name. Let's just say there are just some things in there I don't want her mother to read, if you know what I mean." He said trying to cover up the traces of worry in his voice. He bought it.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. What you say?"

"Um...that's between me and her" He said not able to think of a lie good enough. Tristan plastered his trademark smirk on his face, winked and left not wanting to have to continue.

"Is she hot?" Mike called after him

"Would I be with anything less?"

"Probably not."

"Guessed right."

*****

Lorelai got out of the jeep, full pledged scowl. 'Crappy Crap Crap Day' She went to get the mail. 'Nothing'.

"Babette have you seen the mail?"

"Yeah sweety, I was out gardening when Kirk came around with the mail."

"Where is it?" Lorelai asked semi-annoyed.

"Over here sweety. Do you know somebody in the Iraq?"

"Huh? What?" Lorelai asked taking the mail from the petite blonde in front of her. 'Oak Ridge Boys Military Academy' she read, 'Tristan?...Do I know a Tristan, it seems familiar... Oh my god Tristan!' Lorelai thought, her eyes nearly popped out of its sockets 'Chilton Tristan. Got kicked into military school Tristan. I gotta find Rory!'

"Um no this is for Rory." Lorelai said nearly tripping over her own foot. 'Looks like today is on the up and up!'
