A.N. Thanks for the reviews! They make me happy so I wanted to update as soon as possible!
"Mmmm…Coffee." Rory sighed dreamily. It was 6th period and the teacher was discussing Physics. Normally, she would listen and take notes but today all she could think about was the goodness of coffee.
"Ms. Gilmore, Care to share what's on your mind?" Ms. Conner said.
"Um, No. I'm sorry." She said, embarrassed. She mentally berated herself for being so distracted, and then she grabbed her pen and started taking notes.

Ringggg!!!
'Thank God.' Tristan thought as Physics class finally came to an end. The teacher had droned on and on about the lesson. It was getting really boring, although he was grateful that Rory was there. Watching her, made Physics more tolerable. Seeing her again, brought back all the emotions from 2 years ago. The desire. The longing. She was still the same Mary and he was glad. He feared that she would change and he would come to Chilton only to find out that she had transformed herself into one of those blonde bimbos. But she hadn't and he had to breathe a sigh of relief. He then realized how absurd his fear was. Rory would never be corrupted. She was better than that.
"So Mary, I know I'm irresistible, but dreaming about me during Physics class? Naughty, Naughty." He smirked.
"I hate to deflate your ego, Tristan. But I was dreaming about coffee. Something you would never be as important as."
"Awww. I'm hurt." He said, pretending to wipe a tear. "Tell you what, Mary, why don't I give you a ride to the nearest coffee shop?"
She stared at him, surprised. "Are you serious?"
"Yeah."
"But I don't wanna bother you or anything. I know you have to get home."
"I won't be bothered."
"But-"
"Come on, Mary. See it as my apology for bothering you during sophomore year."
She paused, thinking. "Okay. But we have to go to Luke's. He has the best coffee." She said, smiling.

Tristan watched her talking animatedly about her town. Her eyes were twinkling and he could tell that she loved Stars Hollow very much.
"And the festivals, you have to go to one of our festivals. It's crazy," She said. "I'm sorry I've been babbling on and on since we got in the car."
"No, it's okay. Keep talking. I like hearing about your town. I have to go to one of these festivals your talking about."
"Yeah, you should."
"Okay, so I make a left here."
"Yes, and stop at the sign that says Hardware Store."
"But
aren't we going to Luke's?"
"Yeah, the Hardware store is
Luke's."
He looked at her, confused.
"Just trust me," she said, "now, people will be looking at you and Miss Patty will probably hit on you."
"Who's Miss Patty?"
"The dance teacher" She replied as they got out of the car and headed into Luke's.
Inside, Tristan saw a scruffy-looking man who was wearing flannel who he assumed was Luke.
"Who are you?" he said, bluntly.
Tristan was taken aback at first but he recovered. "I'm Tristan. Rory's classmate."
Luke looked at him intently, as if he was deciding whether he was fit enough to hang out with Rory, then he walked away.
"Oookay, That was kinda weird."
"Don't worry, he gets better. Give him time." Rory said.
"Does this
mean I'll be spending time here more often?"
"Well, the coffee is
addicting."
Then she went up to Luke and asked for four cups of coffee.
"Please Luke! I haven't had coffee all day!" he heard her say.
"Fine!" Luke replied, reluctantly.
She walked away, grinning.
"Four cups of coffee? I only need one. Is your mom coming here or something?"
"No, silly. The three cups are for me."
"I never knew how truly addicted you are 'till now."
Then, Luke came by with their coffee and they sat there talking comfortably about their day.

Ten minutes later
"Oh! I should give you a Stars Hollow tour!" she said, her eyes looking at him expectantly.
"You know looking at me like that makes it impossible for me to say no." he replied.
"Come on," she said, grabbing his arm. Leaving his unfinished coffee, and Rory's three empty cups.
