This is my first Gilmore girl fan fic. I love Rory/Tristan fan fics so it's no surprise I decided to do one of my own. I know Tristan is never coming back, but a girl can dream right.

Just so you know, I own nothing of Gilmore Girls or Chad Michael Murray. I wish but no luck yet.

Everything that has happened has happened. The whole Dean thing. But I want Tristan back . I made Rory change. It's kinda impossible to stay the same Rory after the Dean thing. She lost her innocence, so I made her more laid back. And Tristan has obviously changed from Military school. Not your typical Trory ending.

Rating- PG-13

Pairing- Tristan and Rory

Summary- Rory and Tristan find each other at Yale. Both have changed much. They things off really fast, but will it last?

How long is forever?

Chapter 2

Rory is getting ready. She pulls out a pair of jeans and blue tank top. It's just Tristan, he's not special, right?

Paris- I can't believe you're going on a date with Tristan DuGrey.

Rory- It's not a date it's a……it's a……..class reunion.

Paris- then how come I'm not going?

Rory- Because……..it's two old friends getting together to drink coffee and talk about the old days.

Paris- You mean the days when you hated Tristan?

Rory- I didn't hate him……he was just…..he was a bit of a rash……so to speak.

Paris- People hate rashes.

Rory- no..no..they're just….just…annoying…………….stop making me think.

Paris- you're nervous aren't you.

Rory- non…no….why would I be?

Paris- You shouldn't be…it's not a date.

Rory- Right…..no date…..just friends, right.

There's a knock on the door.

Rory- (squeals) Oh my God it's him…what do I do?

Paris- Answer the door, go drink coffee, have fun…..I'm gonna go study. Bye.

Rory- Bye.

Rory takes a deep breath and answers the door.

Rory- Hey.

Tristan- Hey…you ready to go?

Rory- Ya, lets go.

Tristan- Bye Paris!

Paris- (from room) Bye!

Tristan- Alright lets go

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tristan and Rory are at Starbucks drinking coffee. Tristan's on his 2nd cup and Rory's on her 4th. They're talking, laughing,
and having fun.

Rory- You know, when you left I honestly thought I would never see you again.

Tristan- Same here.

Rory- So…..speaking of you leaving…how was military school?

Tristan- I think it gives Hell a whole new definition.

Rory- That bad?

Tristan- Horrible.

Rory- Well you brought it on yourself.

Tristan- I know.

Rory- What?

Tristan- I said I know.

Rory- You're not gonna argue with me?

Tristan- no…..you're right. I was stupid back then.

Rory- I know I'm right, but you never agree with me. You always used to argue with me even when you were wrong.

Tristan- I've changed. I'm not that immature, jackass kid anymore.

Rory- Are you sure?

Tristan- I think so.

Rory- So what have you been up to since military school?

Tristan- Well….I worked my ass off in military school. My father agreed to let me take a year off if I agreed to go to a college of his choice. Ergo…..I'm here drinking coffee with you…..What about you?

Rory- Well…..I graduated 2nd in the class……guess who got first….umm decided to go to Yale. Gilmore tradition and closer to home….worked my ass off freshman year, got stressed, almost quit. But relaxed after a while and trying to enjoy sophomore year while drinking coffee with you.

Tristan- Is there still Dean?

Rory- What no Bag boy?…You have changed

Tristan- Told ya…you didn't answer the question.

Rory-………………ummm…….no.

Tristan- that took a while.

Rory- I was thinking.

Tristan- about what?
Rory- It's complicated.

Tristan- How?

Rory- You wouldn't believe me if I told you, it's so uncharacteristic of me.

Tristan- Try me.

Rory- ok….Dean's married.

Tristan- to you?

Rory- God no…to another girl.

Tristan- Ok?

Rory- ok…and Dean cheated on her.

Tristan- ok?

Rory- With me.

Tristan- Ohhh….so you guys kissed and you feel bad about it.

Rory- It was more than kissing….a lot more actually.

Tristan- (scoots closer to her) (whispered) You guys slept together?

Rory- (scoots closer) (whispers) (ashamed) Twice.

Tristan- My, my, my…..Mary? The other woman?…you see you're not the other woman type…yet alone sleeping with a guy type. You have grown.

Rory- Ya……and I don't know what we are?

Tristan- Do you want to be anything?

Rory- Honestly………………..no…………..anybody who can cheat on someone with no hesitation is not someone I wanna be with.

Tristan- Then why'd you do it?

Rory- (takes deep breath) I don't know……I guess I was stressed, worn-out, dealing with someone from my past, and…….and I guess I was lonely.

Tristan- I know what you mean.

Rory- Really?

Tristan- Well, I've never slept with a married woman or man for that matter……but…… I know what stupid things happen when you're dealing with stuff and have no one to share it with.

Rory- What did you do?

Tristan- Things so stupid I don't even remember.

Rory- you know…..you're the only one I've told.

Tristan- You haven't told Paris?

Rory- No.

Tristan- You're mom.

Rory- Well techniquely…..no. She kinda walked in on us.

Tristan- During?

Rory- No……afterwards.

Tristan laughs.

Rory- shut up…..it was the worst experience ever.

Tristan- Right……sorry……I'm still hung up on how different you are…… appearance and personality……..you're more beautiful than the last time I saw you.

Rory blushes

Rory- thanks

Tristan- At least one thing is still the same……you blush at every compliment…….ok…get ready for more.

Rory- ok I'm ready.

Tristan- ….You look good with short hair.

Rory- thank you….I try.
Tristan- You're more laid-back.

Rory- Attitude adjustment……I got a few requests.

Tristan- You're not insulting me.

Rory-You haven't given me a reason to …….yet.

Tristan- Yet?

Rory- the days not over yet……..you're different too.

Tristan- I know……still tell.

Rory-Well one thing about you hasn't changed……you're still self- assured.

Tristan- Tell me something I don't know.

Rory- There's something different in your eyes.

Tristan- How?

Rory- I don't know……they sorta lost their color…….like a part of you is missing.

Tristan- (quietly) there is.

Rory- (concerned) what happened?

Tristan- Nothing.

Rory- Tristan come on.

Tristan- Can we just drop it?

Rory- Ya…..ok

Rory could tell Tristan was upset.

Rory- Do you not want to be here?…..cause we could go somewhere else.

Tristan- 'we'….you don't want me to take you home?

Rory- (smiles) No…I'm actually having a good time with you……let's relax…..forget about my drama…..forget about your drama that you won't tell me about.

Tristan- There's no drama.

Rory- Ok,ok……let's go to your place……I wanna see where you live.

Tristan gives Rory a look.

Rory- But I tell you this right here and right now……I'm not gonna touch or do anything to you. Got it.

Tristan- I didn't say anything.

Rory- Uh-huh.

They get up and walk out the door, laughing.

What do you think? Please let me know.
