'Oh Danelai!' Lorelai's voice called through the house.

'Mghsit.' Dana mumbled into her pillow still half asleep. Lorelai came through the doorway.

'What was that?'

'Sleep.' Dana said lifting her head from her pillow before letting it hit the bed again.

'Yes, we know you're a Gilmore, so get up.'

'I thought I was a Dugrey.'

'Well technically you are, but you are way more of a Gilmore!'

'Nana! It's 10 am!' She whined.

'Dana get up!' They heard Rory call from downstairs.

'No fair.' Dana whimpered.

'Look kid, your mom woke me up too.' Dana frowned but still sat up in her bed.

'No, it's okay. I need to get up now anyways.' Lorelai gave her a sympathetic look.

'Hey, I have something exciting to tell you!' Lorelai said breaking out into a wide grin.

'What?'

'Well you see, your mom is currently downstairs taking to a relative of yours. He flew in just to see you!'

'What?'

'Aaron is downstairs.' Dana jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to see her now almost 21 year-old uncle. She ran down the stairs seeing the back of the brown haired boy. She ran and hopped over the back of the couch scaring both Rory and Aaron.

'Woah!' Aaron said turning to Dana.

'Hey!' she said accepting the hug Aaron gave her and reciprocating it hugging him even tighter.

'Miss me much?' he asked laughing. Rory was smiling and laughing.

'Yes! I mean you are the coolest uncle ever and I haven't see you in FOREVER!'

'Dana, I'm your only uncle.'

'So? You're still the best uncle ever!' Lorelai came down the stairs and saw Dana still hugging Aaron.

'Well. Danelai, you must've missed him a lot then!' Lorelai said sitting on the coffee table in front of her two kids and her granddaughter.

'God you all look the same.' Lorelai commented shaking her head.

'What?' the three asked in unison.

'Well I mean it's obvious you two are brother and sister, and it's obvious that Dana is your daughter, so you all look very similar.'

'Which means we all look a lot like you mom.' Rory said.

'No duh, Rory.' Aaron said looking at her with an amused expression.

'Okay let's break up this moment of sibling love!' Lorelai said. The two glared at their mother.

'I agree, I'm bored.' Dana added.

'Thank you mini, mini me.' Lorelai said smiling in victory.

'Hey Rory, when do you leave for work?' Aaron asked. Rory looked at her watch.

'Ooh, now!' Rory said jumping up.

'Umm, I'll be back around 8 tonight.' Rory said picking up her bag. The three nodded and waved goodbye.

'Good, I'm gonna get my sluttiest outfit on and we're gonna go to a strip club!' Lorelai cheered once Rory was gone.

'Uh mom, Dana's 14.'

'Yea, that tends to be a problem.' Lorelai said looking down sadly.

'Sorry.' Dana said smiling.

'Nah it's okay. Why don't you go touring with your awesome uncle and I'll hang around here, just incase a certain someone happens to call.' Lorelai said evilly. Dana rolled her eyes and came back downstairs having changed into day clothes. She now sported a tight tank top and mesh shorts rolled twice.

'Ready.' She said quickly slipping on her flip flops. Aaron laughed at her attire and started to leave.

'Be nice!' Dana reprimanded to Lorelai.

'I make no promises.' Lorelai called after as the door shut behind them.

'So are we walking?' Aaron asked.

'Sure.' Dana said smiling.

'Kay. I have your medical stuff by the way.' Aaron said.

'Good.' She smiled.

'So how's life?' He asked.

'Its okay I mean how good could it be.' He shrugged in response.

'Got any boyfriends?' he asked nudging her playfully. She laughed.

'No.' she said shaking her head.

'What about you? Any girlfriends?'

'Not at the moment.' He said. She nodded. They were quiet for a minute.

'So umm my mom, what was she talking about with the phone?' he asked.

'Oh my mom met a guy and your mom thinks that he could be the one to break my mom of this "no dating" idea.'

'Oh?' He asked smiling. A dog came up to them. She looked around the area and realized that they were walking past Tristan's house.

'Girl!' a male voice called. They both turned towards the voice. Tristan was sitting there on the front step working on some files.

'TC!' Dana called.

'Oh hey!' he called back. He put his papers down and came over.

'Who is that?' Aaron asked quietly.

'TC.' He rolled his eyes quietly thanking her for being so specific. She smiled at Aaron.

'So Dana is this your boyfriend?' Tristan asked.

'Him? Eww no! This is my uncle, Aaron.' Dana said introducing them. Apple ran to another neighbor.

'Oh. I'll get her.' Dana said running off.

'So you're her uncle?'

'Yup, and who are you?' Aaron asked suspiciously.

'Tristan Dugrey.'

'Dugrey?' Aaron asked trying to place the name.

'Yes, why?'

'Nothing, it just sounds…familiar.'

'Oh.'

'Oh I'm not really her uncle, more like half-uncle. Her mom and me have different dads.'

'You're still her uncle then.'

'Kinda. So how does Dana know you?'

'Oh her mom kinda knows me, and Dana was looking for food yesterday after she was done her dance practice and we talked for awhile.'

'Huh. How do you know my sister—er half-sister?'

'I met her at one of Dana's competition's.'

'Huh.' Aaron looked purely confused. Why couldn't he place him?

'You look confused.'

'No, I just I know I've seen you before.' He said.

'She's hard to get!' Dana said holding the dog by the collar just returning.

'Yea, sometimes.'

'So has Aaron spilled all my childhood moments and made me look like a fool?'

'Nah, he's cool.' Aaron said pulling Dana to him. Dana nodded.

'So should we keep going?' Dana asked.

'Sure.'

'Okay, well TC, I'll talk to you later.'

'Kay bye.' He said watching as the two started to leave again. He went inside his house and noticed he had a message.

You have one new message. First message: Hey this is Kyle! Wow Tristan it's been a long time! We should catch up, give me a call. 687-7923.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Tristan smiled. His hadn't talked to Kyle in a really long time. Meanwhile Dana and Aaron continued on their way.

'D, does that guy seem a little familiar to you?' he asked.

'I don't know, why?'

'He's just…so….familiar looking I guess.'

'That's strange.' Dana said, but she shrugged. About seven minutes later they arrived to the heart of Wayne.

'So…what are we doing first?'

'Well I did want to see White Noise.' Dana said almost pleading. Aaron laughed and let her lead the way. About 104 minutes later, they came out of the theater and started to walk towards the pizza place across the street.

'That wasn't even scary!' Dana said crossing the street,

'Then why were you gripping my arm the whole time?' Aaron asked laughing.

'Because, it—surprised me.'

'Right.' He said holding the pizza place door open for her. Back at the house, Lorelai went snooping around and at about one o'clock she found the number of TC. She smiled to herself and quickly dialed it. A male voice picked up.

'Hello?'

'What does TC stand for?' Lorelai asked immediately.

'Uh my name.' He said confused.

'What's your name?' she demanded.

'Who is this?'

'Don't answer my question with a question!'

'First tell me who this is.'

'I believe you know my daughter.'

'That depends…'

'Well whose mom do you think I am?'

'Leigh?'

'Uh yea!' Lorelai was aware of the fact that Rory was not known as Rory here.

'Huh, so why are you calling me?'

'My daughter, I'm in a jam.'

'A jam? Do you need directions to her house? Her phone number…?'

'You've been to her house?'

'Well no, but I know Dana.'

'Oh, right. So what are your intentions with my daughter?'

'I uh, ummm, I don't understand.' Tristan said confused.

'Well you wanna date her, marry her, use her as a sex buddy, be "friends with benefits", be her friend, umm I'm running out of ideas here.'

'I'm going to say be her friend.'

'You don't wanna have sex with her?'

'I uhh, well I don't know her that well..'

'You don't wanna date her?'

'I'm not dating.'

'Okay you lost me. How old are you?'

'Uhh 41.'

'Good my daughter's 41 also!'

'Your daughter is also not dating.'

'I know, but I'm thinking you're just the person to break that habit.'

'I'm sorry but I can't. I made a promise to myself.'

'And what did you promise yourself?'

'That I wouldn't get involved with women anymore.'

'Why, are we not good enough for you! I'll have you know that the female race is proven to be smarter then men!'

'I've been divorced for sixteen years and I'm still in love with her.'

'Oh.' Lorelai said speechless.

'Look, your daughter seems really nice and everything, but I can't.'

'Dana told me that after she got off the phone with you that the reason she didn't want to date again was because of her ex-husband. I just think that maybe it would be like therapy for you guys. You'd be able to talk about heartbreak, being married, being divorced, etc.'

'I, uh, I don't know.' He said hesistantly.

'Okay, well I'm sorry for interrogating you too much.'

'It's okay, don't worry about it.'

'I just want her to be happy, you know?'

'Yea.'

''Dana seems to like you a lot too. I think she might look up to you as a fatherly figure soon.'

'Well I'll probably look at her as a daughter in not to long.'

'You're a good guy, and I understand heartbreak, so I'm gonna let you sleep on this, and if you ever wanna talk, just ask my daughter for my number—no ask Dana.'

'Should I not tell Leigh you called?'

'Could you keep it to yourself?' she asked hopefully.

'Sure.'

'Okay well nice talking to you.'

'Same here.' they both hung up the phone. She started to watch TV and plugged in the PS2 when she heard Dana and Aaron come through the door. They had three hours to kill until Rory came home.

I'm just gonna say that this takes place around mid-June. I know that it doesn't really work (at least I don't think it does) but I want to try and move the story along at some kind of pace.

Please tell me what you think! Thanks, Kiki
