Okay, sorry I haven't updated this weekend, but I wasn't home because of my school's winterball and my garandmother's b-day, but I'll try to update frequently this week.
I'd also like to address Mrs. Witter on her review. As much as I appreciate the constructive criticism, I usually welcome it, I'd like to explain somethings. Yes, I do know that Rory and Tristan are a bit ooc, but I wanted to make them fit in with my character's as well. I'm trying to make them the same, but they do have to be a bit different, as for Rory and Kasey's friendship, I didn't necessarily peg Rory for hanging out with Madeline, Louise and Paris, but she did, hell, she and Paris got to be good friends. Besides, Rory is nice and friendly with just about everyone, so I visioned Kasey and Rory's friendship just fine. As for my male oc's. I know that Max is an asshole one minute and a sensitive guy the next. Max isn't a real asshole, that's just his facade around Kasey and as for him being in love with her, it wasn't sudden, he's been in love with her since highschool, he just, like Tristan, is a jerk about it. When you see him being Mr. Sensitive it's usually in his thoughts or around Tristan because I thought they'd relate well to each other. I just threw Andy and Mara in there for Kasey's benefit and I love to write them. As for Tristan being in love with Rory, I've envisioned that since Rory's sophmore year and played it out in my head. As for the cliched coffee names, I'm sorry that it bugs you, I'll try not to use it, I just found them rather funny and can picture Lorelai and sometimes Rory saying them, anyways, now that I've explained, I'll try to fix what I can, but I kinda like this fic the way it is. Anyways, thanks for the review though, I'll defiantely keep what you said in mind and I've read a lot of the fics by those authors, I happen to like Angel Grace's work.

Chapter 15:

Rory took a collective breath and reached for the door handle, why was she so nervous? She had never been nervous with Dean, maybe a little with Jess, but this was ridiculous! She was a second away from trembling, very unRory like. Fortunately, Mara seemed to be in worse shape and was already picking at her nails.

"Go on!" Kasey hissed from behind and Rory shot her a glare, only to discover her friend grinning cheekily at her.

Rory turned the doorknob and swung it open, only it wasn't Tristan on the other side, it was Andy, looking rather handsome in a pair of khakis and black t-shirt, setting off just how light his blonde hair was.

"Hey Rory. Is Mara ready?" Andy's grin was practically a carbon copy of Kasey's and that irked her a bit, but she decided to ignore it.

"Yes, she is." Kasey jumped forward before she could answer. "Well, hey there Buddy, don't you look handsome and there's that smile that I've missed so much." She teased.

"Very funny, you Brat." Andy shot back, but the smile hadn't vanished. Then, his gaze fell on Mara and his eyes widened in surprise, before that grin stretched even wider. "Mara, you look fabulous."

"Thank you." Mara blushed a furious red and stared down at her shoes, before Kasey gave er a little nudge toward him.

"Now remember what I said, and have fun." She smiled encouragingly at the shy brunette, before turning to Andy. "And you, have her home by curfew and behave, young man, or I will hunt you down and beat you with baseball bat." She said in a mock serious voice, before grinning and pointing to the door. "Now go!"

"Yes Mom." Andy joked, before grasping Mara's hand. "Come on, or she'll beat with a baseball bat because I'm too slow."

"Damn right, I will." Kasey called after them, before closing the door. " Is Cinderella ready for her date with Prince-not-so-Charming?" She teased.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Rory muttered.

"You'll have fun, stop worrying." Kasey waved her hand around. "Trust me, if he's willing to put himself out there, than he's changed from what you've told me."

"I know that, it's just, there are moments when I'm not so sure he has." Before she could continue, however, the doorbell rang again and she jumped slightly.

"Come on, Ms. Jittery. Go and fetch your man." Kasey pointed to the door. "You'll be fine."

"Okay." Again, Rory turned the doorknob and swung the door open, beofre her eyes bugged out of her head. Tristan always had the money to buy the fancy clothes and he usually did, but this was, well, wow. He wore blakc slacks and a baby blue dress shirt underneath a blakc sport coat, a hint of a rolex glittered on his wrist and was gelled into soft spikes, like it had been the first day she met him.

"Mary, you look incredible." Tristan had actually said it without the smirk. "Stunning actually, a real eye opener."

"Thanks Tristan, you don't look half bad yourself." Rory smiled warmly at him. 'Okay, no smirk, only the Mary comment, which was said affectionately, so far, no innuedos.' Rory thought.

"So, are you gonna, like, leave me in peace or stand in the doorway all evening." Kasey said from her place on the couch. She was the one wearing the smirk tonight.

"We're going." Rory muttered, rolling her eyes at her roommate. "Speaking of, where exactly are we going?"

"Well, Ms. Gilmore, do you like to dance?" Tristan grinned, still not even a trace of his signature smirk. "Because after dinner at Che`Leon, we're going to a hot new jazz club, if you want to. I thought I'd mix it up, just a bit, plus, my father had VIP passes."

"Che`Leon, that's really expensive." Rory's eyes widened. "VIP passes?"

"Babe, you're dating a Dugrey now. Money ain't a problem anymore and yes, VIP passes, my father actually gave them to me, so you up for it?" Tristan laughed.

"Yeah, I'm up for it. Bring it on, Dugrey?" Rory grabbed her purse and gave Kasey a friendly wave, before following Tristan out the door.

Kasey laughed as she watched her roommate go and stretched languidly. At least Tristan kept you on your toes. Rory would be bored tonight, that was for sure.

Ready for a nice warm bath she stood up and prepared to head for the bathroom, when a knock on the door interupted her. 'What now? I'm the only one here. Hmm, maybe it's Max. Andy and Tristan are both out, he could be lonely.' She thought, heading for the door.

"Or, Rory forgot something." Kasey chuckled, opening the door, however, she was not prepared for who was on the other side.

"Kevin?"

Ooooooh, I'm so evil with that cliffy. Oh, yes, The Boogie Monster, I know, the flying blue monkey will get me for my horrible cliffy, but hey, it was a hook, huh? I bet you're all cursing me right now for leaving you there. So, review for the next chappie, so I can get to the dates and you can find out what the hell Kevin is doing at Kasey's dorm when he's supposed to be in California. Things are about to get REAL interesting.
