Pairings: B/X, Rory/Tristan Willow/Kennedy (what can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic)
Spoilers: General spoilers for Gilmore girls, and Buffy's on its last season, anyway.
Summary: More zany Gilmore/Summers action!

"So let me see if I've got this right," Rory said, sipping from the iced cappauuchino that she'd switched to after her fourth coffee. "Your sister's first boyfriend was way too old for her."
"Understatement, but yeah," said Dawn sarcastically.
"Her second boyfriend left her for the army and came back married," Lorelia popped in.
"Yep," Dawn supplied. "Then her last boyfriend tried to rape her after she broke up with him." She took a sip from her own iced caffiene goodness.
"Ouch," Lorelia said with a frown. "And I thought that my love life was complicated." Taking a drink from her fifth coffee of the hour, she looked at Dawn with curiosity. "Quick question, but why are you telling me this? I'm a complete stranger."
Dawn smiled before answering. "My mom used to say that stramgers are just friends you haven't met yet." She chuckled, then continued. "She changed her mind after moving here." Still smilling, she added, "Besides, I'm trying to be more open. I had a tough year this past year, and I didn't say much that wasn't a lie. I guess I'm trying to make up for lost time."
Rory smiled and said, "I know what you mean. This past year hasn't been a picnic for me, either."
Dawn got up and started walking toward the payphones. "Let me make up for that," she said. "I'm just gonna call my sister and see if you guys can stay with us."
As Dawn was walking away, Rory saw a very familliar face. "Tristan?" she mumbled, not wanting her mother to hear. Was that really..? Nah! Must be heatstroke.
Dawn came back and said, "You're in luck. Willow's off visiting some friends, so her room's empty for the forseeable future." Taking Rory's bags and lifting them with a suprising amount of ease, she motioned for the two Gilmores to follow her. "As long as you don't mind sharing a bed, you're fine." Her face changed to a serious one as she added, "If at any point one of us says 'run' or 'hide', you'd better run and hide."
"O...kay," Rory drawled out nervously. "I can see why you had to ask your sister first. Lemme guess: the dangerous ex?"
"Oh, no!" Dawn said with a small laugh. "Spike's much better now. He went through what you might call a life altering experience."
"Spike?" Lorelia choked out. "Weird hair, british accent, used to be a Billy Idol wanna be?"
"Yeah!" Dawn exclaimed joyfully. "You know him?"
"We've...met," the older Gilmore said aprehesively. "Your sister actually dated Spike?!" When Dawn nodded, and Lorelia could say was, "Tough girl. Crazy, but tough"
Dawn laughed. "Tough, but crazy. Yep, that's Buffy, alright." She stopped for a moment. "Wait a second. How do you know Spike?"
"Long story," Lorelia explained. "Needless to say, I know about "
"Condition?" Rory asked nervously. "What kind of condition?"
"The kind that has fangs and stay away from sunlight," Dawn said.
"Wait a minute," Rory spat out. "You two are actually telling me that he's a...a vampire?!"
"Sort of," Dawn said. "He's got a soul know. He's kinda like a teddy bear with fangs." Dawn paused, deep in thought. "You know grumpy bear?"
"Yeah," Rory said.
"Think that, times ten to the nth power," Dawn exclaimed.
"Okay," Rory said calmly. "As long as they're aren't any more surprises."
"Well, about that..." Dawn said nervously.

Sorry to make it so short, but my muse is being secretive about the plot. I mean, that whole Spike/Lorelia subplot was a suprise to me, and I'm writting this!
