Part Three: Bible Boy and the Virgin Mary

"So, I'm finally moved in. So when are the new guys moving in?" Tristan asked his cousin as he walked down the stairs. He had just finished unpacking his 'Rory Box' a box of momentos from his time at Chilton, before his transfer to Military school. He still had the tickets from PJ Harvey, a program from Romeo and Juliet and the Chilton yearbook with Rory's picture. He wondered if she had gotten into Harvard like she had always dreamed.

"Well, they should be hear soon. Jess Mariano and Rory Gilmore are from around the same area as you. I think they come from a small town called-" Charlie was cut off by Tristan.

"Stars Hollow," said Tristan in shock. Charlie looked at Tristan curiously.

"How did you know that?" Charlie enquired.

"Because of Rory Gilmore." Tristan answered him absent-mindedly. Charlie glanced sharply at Tristan.

"She's the elusive girl in your past that will always catch up to you, isn't she?" Charlie sighed heavily shaking his head.

"Why do I get the feeling that you've had the same problems?" Tristan said wryly.

"It was when I was still undecided about law and music. I had met this fantastic girl and I was still suffering from the Du Grey male genes, thinking I was fantastic and all that and I didn't need to get into a serious relationship. So, I left on a tour with my band and left her. She is still there in the past, haunting me with what if questions." Charlie sighed sadly. Tristan smiled at his cousin in sympathy. He totally understood what his cousin was going through. He opened his mouth to say something, when he heard someone knock on the door.

"Hello?" A sweet, melodic voice called out. Tristan groaned under his breath. He knew that voice.
