*Alright, here we go. The first chapter in a heck of a long time. I hope that it is OK So please read and

review. Try to make the reviews nice but if they have to be mean, try to make them constructive. I don't

own Gilmore Girls or Rory or Jess or Lorelai, just what I make them do in the story!*

Rory spent the rest of the afternoon talking to Jess. The crowd at Luke's was light so she had plenty

of time to quietly discuss the days events with Jess. She told him of his recent crowning as the gayest man

alive and of the lunch date with Lane. They joked and laughed around until about seven when Luke came

over to their end of the counter.

"Alright Jess, you worked today when I needed you to so you can get off now...be back before

midnight please because you have school tomorrow."

"Yes, Luke. I'll be sure to be back, maybe even before then," Rory said politely.

"You know, something is going on Jess Mariano, and I'm gonna find out what it is...you just are

never this polite."

"OK Luke, try and figure out whatever you want but you'll never find nothing on me!" Rory

screeched in the suspect's voice from a detective movie.

"Alright, yeah, yeah," he grumbled, "Just make sure you're home."

"Bye Luke," Jess said.

"Bye Rory, make sure he keeps out of trouble."

"I'll be sure to do that for ya Luke."

"OK, get out of here you two, you're scaring away the customers."

Rory and Jess exited the diner and started down the street.

"So what do you want to do tonight?" Rory asked.

"I don't know ..rent a movie?" Jess as Rory suggested.

"Sounds good, oh no wait! Let's go and see the new Matrix."

"You have got to kidding me," Jess laughed.

"No, it could be fun! Keanu Reeves in leather pants? What could be better? Maybe even

afterwards you will be inspired to go out and buy a new wardrobe!"

"Fine, Fine. But you are definitely going to owe me one."

"Listen, you don't have to go if you don't want to. I mean, we could go and rent A Walk to

Remember or Tuck Everlasting and have a girl's sob fest," Rory suggested innocently.

"Fine, Fine, let's go!"

*THE MOVIE THEATRE*

Rory and Jess arrived at the theatre and found out that the next show was at 7:30 and it was 7:10 so

they bought their tickets and went on in to the theatre.

"Looks like we have the theatre all to ourselves," Rory joked.

"Yeah," Jess answered quickly.

"I was just joking, no need to get all defensive..that was not a you comment, that was a Tristan

comment."

"A what?" Jess asked snapping to attention.

"There was this guy that I once knew from Chilton, I first met him on my first day of Chilton and to

tell you the truth I absolutely hated him. But you know how those things go. I had Dean, the perfect one,

and then we broke up and I guess the feelings that Tristan and I had for each other were let loose one night

at a party. We kissed and then we had a big fallout when he asked Paris out and was mean to her. Then he

wanted me to go to P.J. Harvey with him and I said no..." Rory stopped to take a breath.

"So..." Jess said, not really wanting to know the ending, but knowing he had to.

"Well the day that he asked me, Dean showed up and we made up out in the courtyard and Tristan

basically backed off for a while and then, actually a little while after you came, we had to do Romeo and

Juliet. I am sure that you remember that. I mean who could forget me in that dress? But he got expelled

and couldn't do Romeo so Paris had to be Romeo for me. Very hairy."

"Sounds it."

"Well that is the Tristan story. Nothing but a stolen kiss at a party long ago. I was over it almost

before it began."

But for some odd reason, as the previews started, Jess had a hard time believing her.

*Alright, attempt made. If it sucks, so be it. But I promise this will be a Lit, swear to it, considering Jess is

gone, I have to be made happy some way. The adding of Tristan is just for drama! What fun would Rory

and Jess' relationship be without drama? So please review and I will be working on another chapter

soon.*
