"This is Doose's Market and that concludes the Stars Hollow tour." Rory said.

They have only been walking around for ten minutes.

"Well, this brings back old memories," Tristan said, "How is bag-, I mean Dean by the way?"

"Wow. You actually said his name. He's fine."

"Still together?"

"Yeah"

He knew they still would be together. But that was okay. The most he could ask from Rory now was friendship.

"So, I know I was a real jerk back then but I was hoping we could be friends this year…" he said, looking at her expectantly.

"I thought we already were." Rory replied, smiling. "I mean, we did have coffee together and I gave you a Stars Hollow tour. Not that many people get a Stars Hollow tour from Rory Gilmore."

He smiled. "Well, I am truly honored." His smile disappeared, when he saw an angry figure a few feet behind Rory.

Rory turned around to see Dean, standing right in front of Doose's market, looking infuriated.

"I better get going. I'd kiss you goodbye, but your boyfriend's watching."

Rory smiled as she watched Tristan getting into his Jaguar coupe. "Now that brings back old memories."

"What's he doing here, Rory?" Dean exclaimed.

"This brings back old memories, too."  Rory thought. Dean's jealous fits were not unfamiliar territory to her.

"Dean, he just got back from Military school and now he's back at Chilton. We're just friends, that's all."

"So now you're friends?"

"Yes. He's changed." Rory replied. "You have to trust me, Dean. You can't get jealous every time I make friends with a guy."

Dean sighed. His anger, disappearing.  "Okay, but if he tries to pick a fight with me, I can't promise you I'll restrain myself."

"Duly noted." She said, glad that this little fight was over.

 "Now, how was your first day back?" he asked her, while they were walking to the Gilmore house.

"It was pretty good except I was caught day dreaming in class."

"Let me guess…. coffee?"

"Yup. But it was not my fault, I only had one cup in the morning. I have tons on homework…"

They continued talking until they reached the Gilmore house.

A.N. Not the best chapter, but I needed something to get rid of my writer's block. I haven't updated in months but since it's the summer, I decided to finish this story. Reviews please! They are greatly appreciated.
