A/N I'm soooooooooo sorry I took so long to update! For some reason fanfiction wouldn't let me upload. I had a little trouble writing this chapter, I knew what I wanted to happen but didn't know how to put it on paper. I wasn't too pleased with the reviews for the last chapter, so thank you to those of you who took the time to review. It doesn't take more than 2 minutes to review people. Reviews are what keep me writing, that and the fact that I love to write. Oh! Someone told me that the Davinchi Code is really big so lets say they have volumes and thats what Jess and Rory are reading. Anyways, on with the story!

Rory and Lane are in the gazebo discussing Lane's latest crisis. "You're going to bible camp again!"

"Yeah." She seemed distant. "Is that Tristan?" She pointed to the diner.

"Lemme fill you in. Jess came back. We kissed. Dean caught us and we broke up. Jess is my boyfriend. Tristan came back from military school and is being less of a jerk. I think Tristan and Jess are going to be friends but I could just be crazy."

"You - all of that happened in the last 24 hours? You broke up with Dean? You and Jess?" What they didn't know was that Ms. Patty was listening. "You're happy right?"

"Very happy. So why are you going to bible camp?"

"Mama Kim found one of my CD's. Thank God she didn't find my stash."

"Where did you leave it?"

"Mama Kim wanted to borrow one of my 'Christian" CD's and the Clash was in the case."

"Ah. Write me everyday?"

"Only if you do. I have to go pack now."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Rory got up and headed to the diner but not before running into Ms. Patty. "Hey Ms. Patty!" Oh fun!

"Hey there Rory! So I heard you picked up that spicy Italian dish."

"That would be correct."

"Can I ask who the other scrumptious dish is?"

"That would be Tristan Dugrey, a friend from school."

"You know there is something about you Gilmore girls. How is it you get all the hot dishes?"

"I dunno Ms. Patty." She blushed.

"You do know that Taylor won't be happy about this."

"I really don't care at this point. Who I date is my buisness and has nothing to do with Taylor."

"Well I better go dear. I'll see you at the town meeting."

"Bye Ms. Patty." Rory went to the diner and sat down at a table with Tristan. "So you want to be friends?"

"Yes."

"Nothing more?"

"Not if I can help it!" Jess yelled while going into the kitchen.

"Nothing more." Tristan repeated.

"Okay, if we're going to be friends there are some rules: restrain yourself from calling me Mary, no sexual references unless I or my mom start it, no fighting with Jess or Dean, no hidding (a/n i don't know the correct spelling) on Lane, and no provoking Dean."

"Is Jess allowd to provoke bag boy?"

"Yes."

"No." Rory and Jess answered at the same time. "Jess..."

"Don't take my fun Ror."

"There are other things to do for fun." She smiled mischeivously.

"Dirty!" Jess wriggled his eyebrows.

"A side of Rory Gilmore I thought I'd never see."

"Yeah well you were a jerk from day one."

"No I wasn't..."

"Tristan..."

"I can't believe you still remeber that."

"Wasn't that long ago. So do you still wanna be my friend?"

"Yes Mar-Rory."

"Nice save."

"Do I get a kiss fo that?"

"No."

"But Jess got a kiss." Tristan pouted and gave her puppy dog eyes.

"Ah, but see Jess is my boyfriend, you on the other hand are just a friend."

"Fine, so wanna watch a movie?"

"I dunno, my plan was to stay and distract Jess..."

"I owe Luke money, this is how I pay him back. Go, be back here at 4."

"Aww, you're so good to me."

"Yes I am."

They kiss until they hear Dean say "What are you doing here? Didn't you get sent off to military school?"

"Yeah, but now I'm back and Rory and I were about to leave. C'mon Ror." He held out his arm. She gave Jess another qick peck, ignored Dean and left with Tristan.

"Why are you letting her leave with that jerk?"

"Not that it's any of your buisness, but 1) I trust my girlfriend and 2) I have no say in who she's friends with and thats not gonna change. So order or leave."

"A cup of coffee to go."

"Here. 2.37. Enjoy this like I enjoy Rory." He smirked.

"Whatever. When does your shift end?"

"Dunno."

"Of course you know, you are dying to get out."

"Why do you care?"

"Just wondering."

"Don't you have to bag some groceries or something?"

"Hey Luke! When does Jess' shift end?"

"4, why?"

"No reason." Then he left.

"You have never seen Pipi Long Stockings? Ever?"

"Nope."

"Call the police! Even Jess has seen it!"

"Your boyfriend Jess?"

"We made a deal, if he watched Pipi Longstockings with me then I would give Hemmingway another try."

"Good enough plan. Did you keep up your end of the deal?"

"Nope. Ok, so since the Black and White and Read is closed lets just rent the movie."

"Sounds good."

Anhour and a half (I don't know how long it is), a gallon of ice cream, a bowl of chips, two bowls of popcorn and 4 cans of soda later Rory and Tristan were cleaning up a little.

"Whats the verdict?"

"Good movie."

"Are you just saying that to get on my good side?"

"You know me too well Mary."

"Whats rule one?" Tristan rolls his eyes.

"Restrain myself from calling you Mary. Old habits die hard."

"I'll let it slide this time. So what do you want to do?"

"How about we-"

"No sexual references."

"I was going to say lets go for a walk, but thanks for having so much faith in me." Sarcasm was dripping from the sentence.

"Like you said, old habits die hard."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. C'mon." He held the side door open for her.

"I'll show you around Stars Hollow."

"Rory, you make four rights and you're back in the center of town."

"Not the point."

"So when do I get to meet Lane?"

"I don't know. I don't the next time I'm going to see her."

"Why's that?"

"Bible camp a.k.a. prison of worship."

"Wow, that sucks. What landed her there?"

"Mama Kim Found one of rock CDs."

"And...?"

"She thinks rock is the devil's music."

"Ah. Who's that?" He asked asked raising an eyebrow as he pointed out a blonde girl who looked like a hooker from Vegas dressed in a shirt 5x too small and leather skirt that barely came half down her thighs entering the diner.

"I don't know... I think she works at the beauty supply store."

"I sure as hell would like to meet her."

"Down boy, you could do so much better." she paused for a minute debating whether or not she should go to the diner. "Come on." She started towards the diner.

"Are you gonna spy? Don't you trust Jess?"

"Yeah, but I still wanna see what she's doing here. She should be in a stip club not Stars Hollow."

"Somebody's jealous." He started to smirk since he wasn't in her line of vision.

"I am not jealous so you can wipe that smirk off your face."

Inside the diner Shane was talking to Jess who was sitting on a stool and reading with an annoyed look on his face.

"So you're Jess."

"Yup."

"You sound like a new yorker."

"Yup."

"I've been to New York, great shopping."

"Huh."

"Not much of a talker are you?"

"Nope."

"Me neither if you catch my drift."

"Order or leave."

"There goes my 50 bucks."

"What?"

"Some tall guy, the bag boy at Doose's said he'd pay me 50 bucks to flirt with you."

"That's pathetic. Bye." He said still not looking up.

"Shame though. Bye." With that she left and Rory just smiled. She and Tristan went into the diner.

"Hey!" Jess said finally looking up from his book.

"Hey yourself." Rory went over to Jess, sat down on his lap and gave him a long, sweet, lingering kiss.

"Wow. And that was for...?"

"For not even looking at the blonde Tristan was drooling over."

"I was not drooling over her!"

"Then whats that on your shirt?" Tristan looked down then up. "Haha made you look!"

"You are becoming more like your mother everyday." Luke said as he handed her a cup of coffee.

"Thanks Luke." She smiled then took a sip.

"I thought you were gonna meet me at 4."

"Fine if you don't want me here..." she stood up from Jess' lap only to be pulled back down and kissed.

"I never said that now did I?"

"You guys are sickening."

"Thanks Tris." She smiled sweetly.

"Ok, so what are we gonna do to Dean?" Jess asked his arms still around Rory's waist.

"Ah, sweet revenge on bag boy."

"Tristan, hate to burst your bubble, but you were the one who bugged Dean not the other way around."

"Details, details."

"Ok so this is what we're gonna do..."

Rory has just run out of the diner in anger and tears with Jess and Tristan hot on her heels.

"Baby! Just let me explain!

"Explain what! I'm not stupid, I know when someone is cheating on me!"

"Jess is innocent! She's just-" Rory cut Tristan off.

"And you knew about it! You know Dean was right! About both of you! I was so stupid to think you two actually cared about me.!"

Dean, who was walking into Doose's as this scene unraveled in front of a small group of people, went to console Rory, not letting anyone see his smug smile, as she "broke down" hysterically. No one else dared to move they just looked from Jess and Tristan to Rody and Dean. Suddenly Tristan and Jess started laughing. "What pray tell is so funny?" Dean asked confused as Rory started laughing.

"The fact that you think Jess would actually cheat on me!" Rory got out between fits of laughter. Once the three of them stopped Rory stood up and faced Dean. "Dean, we know you hired that bimbo to seduce Jess so that we'd brake up. You know if you truly cared about me, you would leave us alone because I'm happy. I know it was wrong to string you along and I never meant to hurt you but that gives you no right to try and screw things up between me and Jess. You know, another reason we didn't work out was because your jealousy and possessiveness. I mean you got mad at me if I couldn't hang out because I had to study!" She took a deep breath to calm herself down. "You were my first kiss, boyfriend and love. There will always be a place in my heart for you, no one can change that. No first love lasts forever. We both need to move on. At one time, I really did love you Dean." She wrapped her arms around herself protectively and went back into the diner with Tristan and Jess behind her, leaving a dumb-struck Dean.
