Rory and Dean broke up, she's going out with Jess, and the kiss at the piano did happen. Everything more or less happened, and Luke and Lorelai are married with a seven year old girl, Stephanie, and a five year old boy, Daniel.

Summary: Some secrets are better off kept, some you should tell. Bad summary. Trory with a little bit of LL (now that I know "Lukelai" is wrong).

Disclaimer: I only own this story, my imagination, and the people you don't recognize. I wish I owned Chad though. :)

Thanks for reviewing (if I forgot someone I am very sorry-please tell me):

eNjOy!

'Seriously. You know I'm feeling really good!' Rory and Ashlee turned the corner. They entered the class and an hour later were dismissed. They headed to lunch and walked around a corner almost bumping into someone.

'Whoa, sorry.' Ashlee said. Rory opened her mouth but nothing came out but a squeak.

'Dean.'

'Fef?' Ashlee asked looking at Rory.

'Dean, what are you doing here?'

'It's nice to see you too. So Rory did you change your name?'

'Dean how did you find me?'

'you know for someone like you, don't you think that outfits a stretch.' Ashlee couldn't watch him talk to her like that.

'Umm, excuse me, who are you too talk to her like that?'

'hey, Barbie! Go find Ken and leave us alone.'

'Ken? You really crossed the barrier there—'

'Hey Babe.' Quinn said walking by and pulling her into a hug knowing the argument that was going on.

'Quinn, I'm busy!'

'Sorry, should I ask you about why you're going to RIS-D and not Berkeley now or later.' Ashlee caught on quickly.

'Oh, umm, well I'm not going to RIS-D cause they seem to stupid there, and I'm not going to Berkeley cause I would be too far away from you, but I got a full scholarship to Duke, so I'm gonna go there. Now, go away cause I need to finish here.' Quinn winked at Rory and left.

'I thought you didn't get into RIS-D! Didn't they like not want a person with your score?'

'What did you get a 400?' Dean asked.

'No, and you're a jerk, but I got a 1578. They had two Ashlee's next to each other and they mixed us up.'

'Oh, well Duke's good too. Oh gotta go I see my lover!' Rory said leaving Ashlee to take care of Dean. Ashlee enjoyed doing things like that. Rory saw Tristan walking and ran to him. He pulled her into a classroom.

'Okay, he's familiar.'

'Dean, member him? Yea. My old boyfriend. He's here and I don't know why. Ashlee will take care of him.'

'We have to piss him off.' Tristan said, 'Do jumping Jacks. It'll make you flushed and take out your hair. Put it back up as you go out.' Rory sighed and did 50 jumping Jacks. Her cheeks were red and Tristan held his breath for 2 minutes. They looked like that had just had sex. They walked out of the room and towards the two bickering people.

'Dean what are you doing here?' Rory asked tired.

'I came to bring you back since you weren't doing a great job at it yourself. And since you've obviously don't remember who you used to be.'

'Hey umm, Ashlee, could you? And Tristan, you too?'

'But, Mary...'

'Please, I'll see you at our table.' They nodded and walked off. Rory sighed and brought Dean into an empty classroom.

'Didn't know you were that eager to get back with me.'

'That's the last thing I'd do. Dean you can just go back home because I'm not leaving.'

'Yes you are. You can stay at school today but you're coming home. You need to get some common sense back! I mean look at you!'

'Look at me? What's that supposed to mean?'

'You show more than you cover up!!'

'Dean you need to leave, and just so you know I'm not coming with you.'

'What happened here? Your mom is going crazy and Chilton people are always coming into Stars hollow!'

'What happened here? I fell in love, in love with someone who wont hurt me, who will trust me, and I made friends with people I wanna be like. Just tell my mom when you go back that I'm doing well and I'm not pregnant. At least not yet.'

'Not yet? Rory, what is wrong with you?'

'Nothing is wrong. I changed, and I changed for the good.' Rory said before leaving. On her way out of the classroom she threw a piece of paper in the trash can. Dean took it and read it.

Hey Rory,

Devon is coming by this afternoon. I know Ash might be with you but if you could let him in that would be great. Thanks.

-Jake

How many guys was she seeing? Dean thought. He threw the paper away and found his way to the office. He sat in the office for the rest of the day.

'Hey Ash, you wanna come by after school?' Rory asked packing up to go home.

'Sure!' Ashlee said cheerfully. ' I'd love too!'

'Okay. Lemme just go find Tristan.' Ashlee followed her to Tristan's locker. He was talking with a friend from the swim team, but excused himself when he saw Rory and Ashlee.

'Hey guys, what's up?'

'Well I just wanted to say that Ash is gonna come over and Devon is coming by later too.'

'Uhh!'

'What?'

'I don't like him! Why cant he stay at his own house?'

'I don't know, why? Do you not trust me?'

'I trust you, but I don't trust him.'

'Okay, well I'll see you later.'

'Yup.' Rory and Ashlee walked to the subway and then walked the short distance to the apartment. They walked over in silence and into the apartment.

'I wasn't expecting you to live in an apartment like this.'

'How did you expect me to live?'

'In a bigger one.'

'Yea, well I'm a guest here, so.'

'Oh I understand. Is that where you sleep?' she asked pointing to the couch.

'Yea, it's really comfy. You should try it sometime! The guys gonna move soon though. He's getting a loft, and he's promised to take me with him!!'

'What about Tristan?'

'I'll date him! Oh, I'm not going out with my home provider! No way.' Rory laughed.

'Okay just checking. So what are you gonna wear tomorrow night?'

'Well, I was thinking of Romeo and Juliet but only Tristan would understand it.'

'Why?'

'Cause we were in the play together, and we totally despised each other then, but guess who got casted as Romeo and who was Juliet?'

'You and Tristan! That's so cute!' The door opened and Jake came in.

'I've been told that yes, but who are you?' Jake asked shutting the door behind himself and putting his bag down.

'Jake this is Ashlee, a friend of school. Ashlee that's Jake, he took me in.'

'Hi, I must say though, that I was expecting you to be much older.'

'Oh. Hey Rory did you get my message?'

'Yea, he didn't come.'

'Oh, so what were you two talking about?'

'Tristan asked me to the dance today, and I was saying how we should be Romeo and Juliet since it's for Halloween.'

'That's good, I mean finally! Finally you two actually do something about your undying love for each other.' They all laughed.

'So speaking of Tristan where is he?'

'School, he'll come soon.'

'Okay, I'm back for the night. I'll be in my room if you need anything. Oh and the loft is looking good!'

'Yay!' Rory said as he went into his room.

'Tristan?' Ashlee asked, but was interrupted by someone at the door.

'Only people who live here are being allowed in at the moment. Sorry!' Rory called.

'Can you open the door? You never gave me my key back!'

'Oh, sorry.' Rory got up and opened the door for Tristan.

'So, where's my key?'

'I'll make a duplicate!' Rory said smiling and going in leaving Tristan to shut the door.

'Rory, Tristan just came in! Aren't you a little surprised?'

'Why would she be confused?' Tristan asked.

'Okay, Ashlee, when Tristan came here, he went to his friend Jake, and when I came here I visited Tristan and Jake offered me a place here, since my only other option was a hotel. I accepted and when you asked me about Tristan I freaked and I felt bad about telling you differently.'

'Oh it's okay. Don't worry about it!'

'Got it.' Tristan said nodding, ' And Rory, could I talk to you for a second?'

'Sure. I'll be right back.' Rory left with Tristan and went into Tristan's room shutting the door.

'What happened today?'

'Dean came to bring me back home. I simply told him he had to leave and without me.'

'What did he say?'

'He asked me about my clothes, and he thought that because I brought him alone into a classroom, I was gonna have sex with him.'

'Did you?'

'God no! I'm still a virgin, and I want my first time to be with you.'

'You do?'

'Yea.'

'Why?'

'Cause I trust you to take care of me and not just leave me there to face the world myself.' He smiled at her words and kissed her softly on the lips.

'So did Dean go home?'

'Doubtfully. Looks like tomorrow is gonna be a fun day!' Rory finished sarcastically.

'Tell me about it! Come on, go have fun with Ashlee.' Tristan said nudging her.

'Okay.' Rory smiled and went outside the room and sat down at the table near Ashlee. Jake was looking through the freezer.

'So, I just remembered, after you're little escape with Tristan what happened? And who was that guy?'

'Escape with Tristan?' Jake asked curiously.

'Well, Dean, the guy is my ex boyfriend. We dated for two years and he dumped me when I couldn't tell him I loved him. He cane today to take me back to Connecticut, and Jake the little escape was just to make him jealous. We didn't do anything, well we did stuff to look flushed but not with each other.'

'Hmm, and how did you accomplish that?'

'I did jumping jacks and Tristan held his breath or something and I moved my clothes around and re-did my hair as I walked out of the classroom. Well it worked.'

'I see.' Jake said scrunching up his eyebrows and going back to what he was doing.

'So he was your ex?' Ashlee asked.

'Yup. In fact, when I was dated him I actually cheated on him with Tristan, well not really. Me and Dean had just broken up during sophomore year and Tristan and I were at a party for school and we were talking and we kissed. Of course I ran away crying and a few days later I was back with Dean. My life is seriously like a soap opera!'

'The more I hear about your life the more I believe that!' Jake said laughing.

'So yea. That's the story.' The phone rang.

Phone---------

T- hello?

J- I didn't mean for it!! I'm sorry!!

T- Whoa, what are you talking about?

J- Rory, Rory's mom wanted to talk to me and I agreed. When we met she started to yell and everything but I still didn't tell her where you were, but then she demanded I tell her or she would file for kidnap, because if you think about it, it could be a really good case, so I told her where you went to school and I know she probably already took her home and Oh god and—

T- Jackie, she sent Rory's ex up, and Rory walked away from him.

J- Are you sure she still in New York?

T- She's standing right next to me unless it's her twin, but that not possible to have to people that beautiful.

J- Thank god!! Can I talk to Rory for a second?

T- Sure.

'Here. Mare, it's Jackie.'

'Okay.'

R-Hey!

J- Oh my god I love you so much and I would die if anything happened to you!!

R- I love you too, but I'm a big girl, I sent my ex away and hopefully he got the message that I wasn't coming home.

J- Okay, just as long as your not completely made at me!

R- Why would I be mad?

J- Cause she threatened to file for kidnapping so I told her where you went to school.

R-WHAT?!?!?

J-I'm sorry, I really—

R- No Jackie, I'm not mad at you—at all, I am so pissed off at my mom though! How could she do that?

J- I don't know but your stories weren't exactly the best warnings of her.

R- I don't know what happened to her.

J- Yea, well I just called to make sure everything was good. I'll call soon and it was good to hear you again.

R- Same here. Bye

J- Bye

End-----------------

'She fucking threatened to file for fucking kidnapping!!' Rory said throwing her arms up.

'What?' Jake and Ashlee said together.

'Yea, she's gone crazy!' Rory said rubbing her face.

'Wow, well I should get going, but I have a perfect outfit for you tomorrow. I'll bring it in.'

'Okay, thanks Ash.'

'Sure.' She gave Rory a hug and walked out the door.

'This day keeps getting worse and worse.'

'Worse and worse?' Tristan asked.

'Yea, this morning was amazing!! You asked me to the dance and gave me a rose, and then Dean shows up and now I find out my mom almost filed for kidnapping!'

'Hey Rory, she couldn't win the case.' Jake said.

'How do you figure that?'

'If you're here willingly, how could she say it was kidnap?'

'Maybe she'll come up with something like I was drugged or brainwashed.'

'Then I have an idea.'

'What?'

'If she brings you too court, show up wearing something very Rory and deny ever wearing anything like what you're wearing now.'

'Ya know Rory, that'll work.' Tristan said.

'Well that'll be our backup plan. I'd rather not have to do it in general though, but also, I started this style before I came here and before Tristan left.'

'More evidence against her case.' Jake said smiling.

'Oy!! I'm gonna go sleep!' Rory said lugging herself to the sofa.

'Before you totally fall asleep, I'm gonna need your rent early so I can put a down payment on the loft.'

'Oh, sure. When do you want it?'

'Next week hopefully.'

'Sure. I'll go to the bank on Monday.' Rory said shutting her eyes.

'Great, and Tristan you too.'

'Next week?'

'Yea.'

'Sure.' He said. He dragged Rory off the couch and sent her into his room so he could watch t.v.

'I'm only doing this cause I have to be nice to my date tomorrow!'

'And why's that?'

'Cause I decided what we're going as.'

'Oh and what would that be?'

'Romeo and Juliet.'

Thirteen chapters in about two weeks......not bad!!
