Author's Note

Hey, sorry it took me so long I had MCAS and tons of projects and
tests. Well, I saw an old episode with CMM and got back my inspiration.
Here's Chapter 4. Oh yeah, I still don't own anything.

Chapter 4.) Actually, I'm talking about Max.

Chilton courtyard-Monday

Rory looks across the courtyard and sees her mother looking very
intrigued. Before Lorelai caught her looking at her she looks back at
the guy standing in front of her. Rory knows she is supposed to make
some sort of witty comment back. He's expecting one but she just missed
what he had said anyway.

"Maybe I finally got the best of you. I knew one day I'd leave you
speechless; I just always thought it would be in bed."

"In your dreams DuGrey."

Little did she know, how close she was to the truth.

Tristan's P.O.V


Tristan had been at military school in South Carolina for a couple of
years and all he had thought about involving Chilton or for that matter
any where else was one person.

One girl who made him want to graduate from that hellhole of a
school and return to their witty banter.

Yes, that's right Rory Gilmore made Tristan want to become a
better man. He would do anything for her while she lived in her
comfortable oblivion.

This year was going to be different. This year he would finally
make it extremely clear how much he wanted her. It would be blatantly
obvious. That's right this year Tristan would finally get Rory Gilmore.

Car ride home from Chilton-Monday


"Hey mom." Rory says as she enters the car but she is thinking *Please
oh please don't ask about him.*

"Hey Sweetie. How was you first day back at Hell." *Maybe
she'll bring it up*

"Well, most of my teachers are pretty much like they were last
year, boring and old, and they assign enough homework to break your
back."

"What about the interesting teachers there's always one."

*No she wasn't supposed to ask about that. Man, what am I going
to tell her. I might just break her heart or. maybe she'll take it
fine.* " Well mom actually, you see, the thing is, well that, ummm
ahh."

"Spit it out honey."


"Guess who's back in town?"

" Ohh, I love guessing games. Let's see is it Elvis because I
always knew he was still alive."

"No, mom sorry but hey there's always hope. But it's actually."

"A certain little devil spawn of Satan named Tristan DuGrey."

*How in the world did she guess that?* "Umm well yeah but How did
you know?"

"If a mother who presumes to know everything shares her secrets
where would I sit at the annual Mothers' Secrets meeting?"

"Mom," Rory warns.

" I saw him talking to you outside the courtyard. Please don't
tell the other mothers they'll kill me."

"Ohh, but actually I'm talking about Max."
