When Tristan returned later that evening he had no trouble walking up the stairs to the home but when he got to the door he froze once again. What he learned here could change everything in him forever. His 13 years of searching may have been in vain. He knocked much the same way he had before, quietly and slowly. This time a man answered. The man was about Tristan's high but had dark black hair. He appeared to be Tristan's age except for a few streaks of silver running through his messy mass of hair.

"Yes?"

"Hello. My name is Tristan Dugrey. I came earlier looking for Rory Gilmore and your daughters informed me to come back later if I wished to speak to someone"

"Mariano."

"Excuse me?"

"Mariano. Her last name was.is Mariano."

"Oh sorry for my mistake."

"I am aware of your name but of little else of you. My wife mentioned dreams that you were in but gave no hints as to who you are."

"I went to school with her. Well for a little while at lest. It's a long story would you mind if we found a place to sit down?"

"I'm sorry. Please come in."

Jess led Tristan to a couch.

"Ok now I will explain. Rory came to Chilton as I assume you know. She was in my class. My role in her life was mostly to annoy her. Which I did rather well. She never particularly liked me; in fact she said she hated me on two occasions that I know of. Even though she hated me I was drawn to her. I'm not sure why. I guess cause she was the one I couldn't have. When I was sent to military school I never saw her again. I have been looking for her since graduation 13 years ago and now have found her home of at least what use to be. Now your story."

"My name is Jess Mariano. I moved to Starshollow during my senior year. I met Rory and for some reason she wanted me more than bag boy and we became a couple. We broke up when I moved in with my father but I moved back knowing that she was more important."

Tristan noticed the worry lines in the mans forehead deepened when he spoke of Rory.

"We got back together and I asked her to marry me. She said yes and within a month we were married. About a year later my daughter Christina was born. Two years after, my sons Caleb and Cole were born. During Rory's pregnancy with my daughter Catiy she began telling me about her dreams. They were vivid almost memory like dreams. She said that she was in a ship laying on a table looking around unable to move. Two small people like creatures walked up to her. She described them as having large almond shaped eyes and no mouths. Rory said that she looked over and saw you laying on another table looking at her. She tried to signal you but like before couldn't move. Apparently you looked at her until the creatures came between your line of vishion and she could no longer see if you were looking at her. I don't know what happened to her and you can be sure that I have tried to find out, but before she went missing the number of dreams were increasing. I'm not one to believe in things like this but I don't think her "dreams" were dreams. I think they took her."

"You are saying you think that your wife was taken by Aliens?"

"As odd as it sounds yes that is what I believe."

A.N. ok I finally got to the kinda good part. Good? Bad? Please tell me.
