Summary: Rory and Tristan are together in junior year. They got together over the summer, but that part is not going to be told, this story is just going to focus on their growing, and new relationship. Everything that happened in the past will come up on a need-to-know basis.
Part 2 'Talkin About Life'
"Here they come..." Kristin announced.
"What does he see in her?" Summer asked.
"He calls her Mary, so he can't be getting any" Venice put in.
"You guys need to chill. He's into her. Plus you all have gotten your shot at him" Carmen said, lowering her sunglasses.
"Doesn't mean some people around here don't want more" Summer said pointedly.
"You dumped him Summer."
"I wasn't talking about me...there are 4 other people here, and an entire population inside that school."
"All I'm saying is he seems serious. And if she's with him, she's with us for awhile. Why make an issue of it?"
Summer pouted slightly.
"Who knows? As long as she isn't too much of a brain" Venice put in, wrinkling her nose.
"You should get her help in Biology" Kristin suggested.
"Shut up their nearly here..." Summer said, smiling at the couple who were walking with a group of about 9 other guys.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Okay we are so beating you guys this time" Tristan bragged as we headed over to one of Chilton's outside basketball courts at the back of the school. I was surrounded by guys who were talking about how they were each going to do some amazing move to get points, that they were each the best, and that they would beat the other team. Right now I don't even know whose on whose team.
We walked up to a group of 6 girls, including Summer and Carmen who were lounging on 2 picnic tables set along the perimeter of the playing area- thingy.
The guys started to throw their stuff down, and toss off their blazers onto the bench.
"Have fun" I said as Tristan lifted his arm off of my shoulders. I gave him a quick kiss, and he passed me his backpack.
"Watch me school these boys" he said quietly.
I had no idea what that meant so I just smiled, and sat on the far side of one of the tables.
"How long have you two been together?" a girl with shoulder length black hair asked.
"About a month, I think."
"Rory, do you know everyone here?" Carmen asked, turning her head around slightly from her position of lounging on the other bench.
"Not really" I said truthfully.
"Aite, thats Theresa, Kristin, Summer, Venice, and Lucy."
Theresa was the girl who had just questioned me.
"Okay does this not blow that summer is over" Venice whined.
"Aw, poor Venice...no more jetting around on daddy's boat" Summer pouted.
"Oh shut up, like you weren't doing the same thing."
"Actually I was in the Hamptons, thank you very much. That's better then being in the middle of the ocean."
"Oh stop bragging Summer" Kristin put in.
I pulled out my book, The Virgin Suicides and started to read, tuning them out.
"Not going to watch your boy play?" Carmen asked, coming and sitting down next to me after about 20 minutes of reading. I earmarked the page and looked up at the blonde.
"Seeing as I don't exactly know what is going on, reading seems like a better option."
"Okay one, if you haven't figured it out by now, half of these boys including Tristan, spend about half their time playing some sort of sport. And two, its really not that hard."
"I am not a sports girl. I spend most of my time reading, and studying, that type of stuff."
"Okay how did you end up with Tristan?" Summer asked, obviously eavesdropping.
"Summer..."Carmen said, raising her eyebrow.
"I'm not trying to be rude, but Tristan isn't exactly that type of guy."
"Oh I know that" I readily admitted. "Things just sorta happened this way...besides apparently opposites attract."
"Yeah Summer maybe Brad Lancaster is your perfect match..." Theresa suggested..
Everyone started to laugh, while Summer just sighed and glared at us all.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Tristan and a few of the other boys job over to us. Tristan came up from behind and lifted me off the bench.
"TRISTAN!" I mock screamed as he swung me around, my legs flailing around.
Everyone else was laughing while I used my free arm to swat at him several times until he finally put me down, although his arms remained around my waist.
"You're mean" I said pouting.
"You love it. Besides what fun would I be if I didn't twirl you around."
"Oh you would be fun since I would be safely on the ground, not moving."
"I'll be sure to forget that for next time."
"Okay you two break it up" Dan said, walking over and using his arms to wedge between us.
"The only reason you don't want any one else getting any is cause you can't" Tristan joked.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Alright boys, the bells ringing in about 30 seconds so just call a truce" Carmen said, as everyone gathered up their stuff. I grabbed Tristan's bag and shoved my book in the front pocket of it.
"So how was it?" he asked me as everyone else headed inside through the back door.
"Fine. Did you win?"
He brushed off his shoulder and nodded.
"Cocky much?"
"Me? No. Never. I'm the oppposite of cocky."
"That better be sarcastic."
"And if its not?"
The bell rang interrupting us.
"We better go" I said, pushing him towards the door.
"Is that an order?"
"Pretty much" I said, giving up on pushing him and walking ahead.
"Yes sir, sergent Rory" I heard him say.
"Wait a second..." he asked, grabbing my wrist, and twirling me around to face him.
"No kisses" I said, putting my hand over his mouth.
"Amph hrjy nohth?" he mumbled.
"I don't know what you just said but lets wait till later, okay?"
His eyes went all puppy dog like, but I just removed my hand and walked inside, leaving him standing out there.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Independence Inn, Lorelai speaking, how may I help you?" my mom's voice chirped through the phone.
"Hi mom."
"Oh which daughter is this? The one with the brain?"
"Very funny."
"You see since you got all the brains, I don't remember who is my daughter."
"Mom..."
"Fine. What do you want?"
"Nice way to speak to me."
"Sorry Michel's crazy, Sookies cooking, Jackson's bringing not right size vegtables...you get the idea. Plus I am guessing that this conversation is about to be connected to that attached to your side boyfriend of yours isn't it?"
"It doesn't concern him THAT much" I said into my cell phone.
"That much translating to..."
"Well actually it more concerns grandma."
"What did my mother do this time?"
"Okay do you think you could talk to her about switching one Friday night dinner to Thursday or Saturday night dinner?"
"And why would I do an insane thing like that?"
"Because Tristan's moms parents are flying in from London, and they are having a dinner thing for his family, and he wants me to go."
"And you can't ask my mother why?"
"Cause if you ask it sounds nicer?"
"Try again."
"You'd have more luck getting me out of it. You've done it before..."
"Not without severe losses on my part."
"Please Mom? He just asked me, but he had to get downtown to his dad's office."
"Where are you now?"
"The bus. It's just coming into Stars Hollow now."
"Okay I will ask Grandma for you, but you better be prepared for dinner, and you get dinner tonight then."
"Fine I'll order from Al's and it will be here when you are."
"Good to know. Coffee?"
"Of course. I got to go though, the bus is nearing my stop."
"See you at home babes..."
"Love you mom" I said, clicking my phone off, and making my way to the front of the bus.
"RORY!" Lane called the second I stepped off the bus.
"Hey Lane!" I said giving her a hug.
"How was good old Stars Hollow High?" I asked as we headed to Luke's.
"Same old. I swear those people get dumber and stupider every year. PLus their musical tastes evolve backwards, which I don't think is possible but if you actually heard what these people listen to, I think every scientist would be proven wrong. I mean who listens to hard rock then rap then pop? Is that even a possible cycle?" she rushed out of her mouth.
"Maybe they were abducted by aliens?"
"That's the best you could come up with Rory? What is Chilton doing to your brain?"
"Shrink?" I asked as we walked into Luke's and sat down at our usual table.
"I think so. They made it grow so much last year that there's no where but in to go now."
"Very smart observation."
"Maybe I should go there."
"I think your mom would love that."
"Yeah I don't think so. Mama would be on me even more to do my homework. THat women like calls up my teacehrs everyday to get a status report, and find out what I have to do. It's insane."
"She's just your mother Lane" Luke growled as he came over to get our order.
"Doesn't mean she has to be mean about it."
"What will it be girls?" Luke asked.
"Coffee of course and...Lane want to split some fries?"
"Have I ever turned down fries? Oh and a coke for me Luke!" she added.
"Both of you are forever going to be short with all that caffeine..."
"My mom's not short and we all kow she drinks more coffee then me."
"She's right Luke. Studies show that caffeine actually doesn't stunt growth. Of course my mother says it does..."Kirk interjected from the counter.
"Shut up Kirk" Luke said, before heading into the back of the diner.
"So how was your first day as Queen of Chilton."
"I am not the Queen of Chilton, so don't call me that. I'm just like there now. People just notice me. It's so stupid."
"Any strange encounters of the Paris kind?" she asked, as Luke placed our drinks and food on the table, and then dissapeared again.
"Minimal. Wasn't as bad as I thought" I said sipping the coffee.
"That's shocking. But I want some details here!"
"First she shoved me out of the way...then when I was getting Tristan and I lunch, she decided it was the time to confront me. Luckily Carmen, this girl that Tristan is friends with, shut her up."
"Tristan has friends who are girls?"
"I know its shocking. She seems alright though."
"What did you guys do all day?"
"I didn't spend all day with him! There are these little things called classes I had to go to."
"You know what I mean."
"We ate lunch alone for about 15 minutes, and then his friends came to drag him off to a game of basketball. I sat with Carmen and these other girls, but I just read. Then we had Shakespeare together, and he had to leave to get to his dads office to help him with something or other. Oh and on Friday I told him I'd go to dinner when his grandparents fly in."
"How are you getting out of Gilmore dinner?"
"My moms working on it."
"Do you think she can get my mom to let me out on a Saturday night? If she gets you out of that dinner, she can do anything."
"She probably can do it though, if there is one thing my grandma will understand is family obligations for Tristan" I said, shoving some fries into my mouth.
"Why are you going with him?"
"He asked me too. I've only met his parents once anyways."
"And that was for like what? 30 seconds?"
"Pretty much. They were leaving for some charity dinner or something. So enough about me, back to you. Whose the latest crush?"
"Still Henry" she said sighing.
"Lane, didn't he call and break up?"
She nodded, and took a sip of her coke.
"I just can't help it you know? He was perfect and I drove him away."
"Have you talked to him?"
She shook her head.
"Did he say anything to you today?" she asked me.
"No. But I heard that he has a new girlfriend" I said slowly, looking at the table.
Lane's face fell.
"Want to go get some ice cream and wallow?" I asked, trying to get a smile.
"There better be lots of sugar in that ice cream..." she said as we paid Luke and left the diner.

----------------------------------------------------- "I need food!" my mom called out. I shut off my computer and headed out to the kitchen.
"Food there is" I said, waving my hands to the table.
"NOw I know why I gave you the brains!" she said kicking off her shoes, and putting her bag down.
We both sat down and started to dig in, speaking in between bites.
"How was the Inn?"
"Well after you called, things calmed down, then Michel was too picky, stormed his food into the kitchen, knocking one of the waiters down, sending Sookie's prized desserts all over the place. Not pretty."
"Did she cry?"
"Screamed alot. It was slightly entertaining, since I was drinking coffee and saw the whole thing unfold. Michel running and screaming like a little girl when chocholate and raspberries fell all over him was well worth a rewind."
"Wish you had had a camera."
"maybe I can convince them to redo it!"
"I highly doubt that mom. Plus seeing Michel's face would have been priceless."
"It was, oh it was. Oh I got you out of dinner. It is now on Thursday night."
"Oh I love you."
"You owe me SO BIG."
"I thought giving you food was the payback."
"Oh thats only a sliver of the payback. Do you know how long Emily goes on about everything? Then quizzing me about how good you two are. I swear she's planning the wedding already."
"She can have fun with that one...it will be awhile for sure."
"It better be. I'm still doubtful of letting that thing into this house."
"Okay at least call him a boy or man or something that is not thing."
"That's the next step in the 12-step program to accepting Tristan."
"You used his name. That's an improvement."
"Get a camera or a tape recorder it could be awhile before you hear that one again."
"Okay I still don't get your issues with him!"
"He's just not..."
"Safe? You don't trust us?"
"I don't trust him."
"Thats translating to you don't trust me. Because if you did trust me, you would realize nothing will happen."
"Its not all about sex Rory. It's I don't like you two together. That may change but right now I don't like him."
"Why not? He's been nothing but a sweetheart to you."
"Call it mothers intuition."
"You weren't like this with Dean."
"Dean was safe."
"And Tristan's not?"
"You hated him a few months ago."
"Things change."
"Look just give me a little more time...maybe I will grow to like the kid. No guarantees."
"Fine...now lets get back to the important things."
"Like?"
"Have you talked to Max?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I don't wanna" she pouted.
"MOM! You dump him and never talk to him again? That's real nice."
"It would hurt to much."
"You didn't even really dump him. You just took me away to Harvard for 4 days. I think he got the hint though."
"Seeing as how he didn't show up on Saturday would be the red flag on that one."
I grabbed the phone off of the counter and placed it in front of her.
"I don't want to run into him at school and have to do the whole 'oh yeah sorry my mom decided she didn't think you were the one but sorry she didn't call...she ran me off to Harvard for 4 days' conversation."
"But it would be such a good conversation!"
"How?"
"Cause I wouldn't have to do it" she whined, placing her head in her hands.
"You have to. Or I'm paying Luke off to not give you coffee."
"You are a cruel one, Mrs. Grinch."
"Way to update it Mom."
"I know."
"And you are calling him."
She pouted again.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me about your day?"
"That can wait. After you make this call, we'll sit down and watch a movie. I'm done my homework, and nothing's going on in town."
"I know. Where's a town meeting when you need one?"
"Next week, I think. I lost track."
My mom picked up the phone, and one of the take-out containers with food and went into the family room. I knew she would call him. She'd been avoiding this for too long. Maybe now she can move on. Maybe now we both can.
I know this part isn't really that good trory-wise, but i like to set things up a little before I get more into this story. i think u can all guess where the dramas going to come in [and if u cant i suggest u reread it] *cough*dinner*cough*
I am looking for a beta if ne1 is interested [email me at sweet_death_29@hotmail.com or leave it in a review]. Ive never used one but fellow authors have said they are wonderful.
Just so u know, updates will prolly b around once a week. I have to fit writing in around work, school, friends, family and all the other stuff i like to do but i usually can find time to write while i watch TV.

"What did you guys do all day?"
"I didn't spend all day with him! There are these little things called classes I had to go to."
"You know what I mean."
"We ate lunch alone for about 15 minutes, and then his friends came to drag him off to a game of basketball. I sat with Carmen and these other girls, but I just read. Then we had Shakespeare together, and he had to leave to get to his dads office to help him with something or other. Oh and on Friday I told him I'd go to dinner when his grandparents fly in."
"How are you getting out of Gilmore dinner?"
"My moms working on it."
"Do you think she can get my mom to let me out on a Saturday night? If she gets you out of that dinner, she can do anything."
"She probably can do it though, if there is one thing my grandma will understand is family obligations for Tristan" I said, shoving some fries into my mouth.
"Why are you going with him?"
"He asked me too. I've only met his parents once anyways."
"And that was for like what? 30 seconds?"
"Pretty much. They were leaving for some charity dinner or something. So enough about me, back to you. Whose the latest crush?"
"Still Henry" she said sighing.
"Lane, didn't he call and break up?"
She nodded, and took a sip of her coke.
"I just can't help it you know? He was perfect and I drove him away."
"Have you talked to him?"
She shook her head.
"Did he say anything to you today?" she asked me.
"No. But I heard that he has a new girlfriend" I said slowly, looking at the table.
Lane's face fell.
"Want to go get some ice cream and wallow?" I asked, trying to get a smile.
"There better be lots of sugar in that ice cream..." she said as we paid Luke and left the diner.

----------------------------------------------------- "I need food!" my mom called out. I shut off my computer and headed out to the kitchen.
"Food there is" I said, waving my hands to the table.
"NOw I know why I gave you the brains!" she said kicking off her shoes, and putting her bag down.
We both sat down and started to dig in, speaking in between bites.
"How was the Inn?"
"Well after you called, things calmed down, then Michel was too picky, stormed his food into the kitchen, knocking one of the waiters down, sending Sookie's prized desserts all over the place. Not pretty."
"Did she cry?"
"Screamed alot. It was slightly entertaining, since I was drinking coffee and saw the whole thing unfold. Michel running and screaming like a little girl when chocholate and raspberries fell all over him was well worth a rewind."
"Wish you had had a camera."
"maybe I can convince them to redo it!"
"I highly doubt that mom. Plus seeing Michel's face would have been priceless."
"It was, oh it was. Oh I got you out of dinner. It is now on Thursday night."
"Oh I love you."
"You owe me SO BIG."
"I thought giving you food was the payback."
"Oh thats only a sliver of the payback. Do you know how long Emily goes on about everything? Then quizzing me about how good you two are. I swear she's planning the wedding already."
"She can have fun with that one...it will be awhile for sure."
"It better be. I'm still doubtful of letting that thing into this house."
"Okay at least call him a boy or man or something that is not thing."
"That's the next step in the 12-step program to accepting Tristan."
"You used his name. That's an improvement."
"Get a camera or a tape recorder it could be awhile before you hear that one again."
"Okay I still don't get your issues with him!"
"He's just not..."
"Safe? You don't trust us?"
"I don't trust him."
"Thats translating to you don't trust me. Because if you did trust me, you would realize nothing will happen."
"Its not all about sex Rory. It's I don't like you two together. That may change but right now I don't like him."
"Why not? He's been nothing but a sweetheart to you."
"Call it mothers intuition."
"You weren't like this with Dean."
"Dean was safe."
"And Tristan's not?"
"You hated him a few months ago."
"Things change."
"Look just give me a little more time...maybe I will grow to like the kid. No guarantees."
"Fine...now lets get back to the important things."
"Like?"
"Have you talked to Max?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I don't wanna" she pouted.
"MOM! You dump him and never talk to him again? That's real nice."
"It would hurt to much."
"You didn't even really dump him. You just took me away to Harvard for 4 days. I think he got the hint though."
"Seeing as how he didn't show up on Saturday would be the red flag on that one."
I grabbed the phone off of the counter and placed it in front of her.
"I don't want to run into him at school and have to do the whole 'oh yeah sorry my mom decided she didn't think you were the one but sorry she didn't call...she ran me off to Harvard for 4 days' conversation."
"But it would be such a good conversation!"
"How?"
"Cause I wouldn't have to do it" she whined, placing her head in her hands.
"You have to. Or I'm paying Luke off to not give you coffee."
"You are a cruel one, Mrs. Grinch."
"Way to update it Mom."
"I know."
"And you are calling him."
She pouted again.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell me about your day?"
"That can wait. After you make this call, we'll sit down and watch a movie. I'm done my homework, and nothing's going on in town."
"I know. Where's a town meeting when you need one?"
"Next week, I think. I lost track."
My mom picked up the phone, and one of the take-out containers with food and went into the family room. I knew she would call him. She'd been avoiding this for too long. Maybe now she can move on. Maybe now we both can.
I know this part isn't really that good trory-wise, but i like to set things up a little before I get more into this story. i think u can all guess where the dramas going to come in [and if u cant i suggest u reread it] *cough*dinner*cough*
I am looking for a beta if ne1 is interested [email me at sweet_death_29@hotmail.com or leave it in a review]. Ive never used one but fellow authors have said they are wonderful.
Just so u know, updates will prolly b around once a week. I have to fit writing in around work, school, friends, family and all the other stuff i like to do but i usually can find time to write while i watch TV.
