Paris looked over at the bed next to her towards her roommate who she knew wasn't sleeping. Rory had walked into the room that night with a smile on her face that she'd never seen before. When Paris asked if the date went well Rory continued to smile but no words came out. Curiosity was starting to kill her – she knew that Tristan had finally done something right. Rory noticed Paris looked over at her with that look in her eyes that said "tell me everything."

"You knew, didn't you?"

"Knew what?"

"Back at Chilton and still when he came here. You knew?"

"He told me last week after the date you guys had. Back at Chilton it was obvious though…he was jealous of Dean and you're probably the reason he started hanging out with Duncan and Bowman. He's been crazy about you for years."

"I wish I noticed it sooner. I'm finally seeing a side of Tristan that doesn't make him seem like a third grader."

Rory filled in Paris on all the details of the date and how absolutely perfect everything was. Even through her happiness for both Rory and Tristan, Paris's mind was somewhere else that night. Rory couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, but she knew it was something. Paris would tell her within time, she always did. As much as they hated each other in Chilton was as close as they were.

Nothing could burst Tristan's bubble…he didn't have to hide it anymore. Rory was finally his girlfriend and he was going to make sure that absolutely nothing ruined that. He walked back to his dorm room with confidence after that amazing kiss goodnight. When he opened the door, there was a note from Marty saying he was on a date but there was still someone in his bed. Tristan collapsed onto his bed and began daydreaming about Rory and everything that could possibly be.

"That's a new face, DuGrey," he heard coming from the bed next to him.

"Taryn? What are you still doing here?"

"I'm here for you and I won't leave until I get what I want."

"Forget it, Tar. I got the girl of my dreams…I tried to be nice about this but apparently you don't get it."

Taryn couldn't have been angrier. She had gone to Yale to get Tristan back and that was exactly what she was going to do, it was just going to be harder than expected. Somehow his little innocent dream girl had given in to his charm. Somehow Taryn was going to make this girl wish she was never born and there was only one girl who could comfort Tristan. If only she knew the girl's weak spot, or maybe even her name. Her roommate hadn't been very much help…she just gave her an evil glare and said to leave Tristan alone.

Paris was lying in bed thinking about how she could stop Tristan's ex girlfriend from ruining what he and Rory just found, but nothing was coming to her. She knew that Rory had noticed her being a little out of it, but she could blame it on a fight with Alex. Paris planned a phone call to Tristan the next morning to see if he knew what was going on.

That night Paris didn't sleep very well knowing her best friend's heart was on the line as well as the heart of someone she had a school girl crush on through high school. Sure Tristan deserved a lot, but something in his life was finally good and he didn't deserve to lose that.

Rory woke up the next morning and left to take a shower; Paris took that opportunity to call Tristan. Unfortunately for her, his roommate said that he wasn't there. Paris started to frantically wonder where Tristan was and if that ex girlfriend of his had anything to do with it. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Tristan! I just called you," Paris said in a frantic tone.

"What's wrong, Paris?" Tristan responded still with that smile.

"I know you finally got Rory, but there's something threatening it."

"Are you talking about Taryn?"

"If that's her name…I don't know what you plan to do Tristan, but if you fucking hurt Rory…"

"I won't hurt her, Paris. It took me four years to get her to even look at me; I won't do anything to ruin that. I've never been happier than she made me last night just when she realized that it's been her for all these years. Taryn told me she's going to get me back, but I swear to you…"

Their conversation was put on hold when Rory was walking back from the bathroom. Tristan greeted her with a kiss and a cup of coffee. She told him that he was a god and disappeared to her room to put on clothes. Paris took the opportunity to finish her conversation with Tristan.

"Do you have any plans on stopping this girl?"

"I've never seen this side to her. When I dated her she was very sweet and I really cared about her, but my mind was on Rory. She seems pretty determined to get me back, but that's not going to happen. I don't want to be with her, I want to be with Rory."

"Don't want to be with whom?" Rory asked walked out of her room.

"Taryn," Tristan responded shyly.

Rory didn't know how to react to that…she thought Taryn left. Rory knew that Tristan was her boyfriend and only wanted to be with her, there was just something about Taryn she didn't like. Taryn reminded her of someone; she just couldn't put her hand on it. Tristan asked Rory if she wanted to take a walk around campus and just talk. She had no problem accepting that offer. As soon as they walked out of the room, Tristan took Rory's hand. His fingers intertwined with hers sent shivers down her spine.

Luke was in the diner taking people's orders and actually smiling. Most of Stars Hollow had never really seen him happy before, but thanks to Miss Patty the news of the engagement was already all over town. Kirk was sitting at the counter staring at Luke in awe. Sure he had Lulu, but the whole town knew he had a crush on Lorelai for years which was pushed to the back of his mind. Not only was he jealous that Luke got Lorelai, but also that he proposed. Kirk wanted to propose to Lulu but he was afraid to.

"Kirk, will you stop staring already?"

"Sorry Luke," he responded but continued staring.

Jess came down the stairs and was in shock of his smiling uncle.

"Good thing this didn't happen two years ago."

Luke looked at Jess completely confused by what he said.

"Well if you married Lorelai a couple of years ago, I would've been dating my cousin."

Neither Luke nor Lorelai thought about that, but it wasn't much of an issue anymore. Jess and Rory weren't together and Rory was with that new guy of hers anyway. Almost as if on cue, Lorelai walked in looking for coffee. As Luke poured the coffee she stared at the modest diamond on her finger.

"Luke, when we're married, do I get your coffee every morning?"

"You do drink my coffee every morning."

"Well, do I get it at home?"

"We'll see. You know I don't like you drinking that much coffee."

"I love you, Luke."

"You better," he responded jokingly.

"Wow, a match made in heaven: Mr. Health Nut and Miss I'll Eat Anything."

"And good morning to you too, Jess."

Lorelai knew that after she married Luke, Jess would be family. She couldn't help it if she didn't want him to be. He broke her daughter's heart more than once. Rory was happy with Tristan though, so Jess wasn't a threat anymore. Then she realized that there was no post date phone call … hopefully everything went well.

Taryn sat in the Yale library looking out the window searching for her mystery girl. Suddenly there she was, hand in hand with Tristan. This girl wasn't the typical beauty queen…she was so modest, yet still very pretty. From what she'd heard Tristan went for the sluts in high school and that's not what this girl was. Taryn did have a reputation for being kinky although she wasn't easy. But no one broke her heart and got away with it. She wasn't sure who was going to pay Tristan or his little girlfriend. Then she thought maybe both.

AN: Sorry for how bad this chapter is, I had a little writer's block on this story. I did start a new one though called Remember Me and I wrote a one shot Lit song fic called That Day. Check them out if ya want. Please read and review.
