TITLE: The Rich and Famous

DISCLAIMER: Well before I could of said Chad, but now that he's married...and separated…who know's what's happening? So now, I own nothing but my computer, this story, and the following people: Alex, Ryan, Charlie, and Brett.

SUMMARY: Rory gets discovered by a film caster and meets some familiar people as a result.

'Great, now bring your head a little bit more to your left…yea! Good, good! And stay.' The photographer said taking several photographs.

'Okay, I need Alex, Rory, Tristan, and Megan!' The four came and sat down where they were told. Megan was sitting in Alex's lap as he put his head on top of hers in a brotherly way. Rory was hugging Megan from the side and laughing, and Tristan was lying down with his head on Rory's lap looking up at her. The photographer took many snapshots and then the individuals were taken. The man put a pen line through four lines. He only had a few more things he needed to take. One was of the minor cast and the other one was Rory and Tristan together.

'Alright, hold hands and look at each other.' They did as they were told.

'Act natural!' The man whined. Rory and Tristan sighed and did something different. This went on for twenty minutes before Rory dropped Tristan's hand and sighed.

'Okay I know you're in charge here, that's great, but just let us place ourselves! It'll seem most natural, I guarantee!' The man glared but finally gave in and made a motion for the to continue. She jumped up into his arms so he was carrying her like a child. Her head rested on his collarbone, she then lifted her head up and softly trailed kisses up his neck. The heard a faint clicking. So the photographer liked it. He lowered them to the ground and she moved in between his legs curled up against him looking out at the camera. Their third change in positions happened when Rory lied down vertically down on the ground and Tristan hovered over her, his character's medallion necklace drooping down.

'I love you.' He whispered in the middle of a picture. She smiled up at him and pulled him down to her and kissed him teasingly. He pulled away and rubbed his nose against hers, making them both remember one of the most memorial days she'd ever had.

FLASHBACK

She stood there just waiting. She was slightly nervous but Tristan had kept reminding her that he'd be right there the second she wanted him too be. All she has to do was give the signal. Ha, what a funny word, signal. She had to give one more blunt signal today, one that she shouldn't of had too. But Dean was Dean, and that in itself meant that she'd have to be understanding of his slow brain comprehension. She let out a breath and saw the faint white color that the cold made her breath have. She rubbed her hands together and turned around when she heard footsteps. Standing at 6'3'', it was hard to confuse him with others.

'Hey.' He said happily.

'Hi.' She said looking down.

'I'm glad you changed your mind. We can be so happy together Rory, and I'm glad that you finally came—'

'Came to what? Came to the realization that what you're doing border's on creepy?' Rory asked bewildered.

'Creepy? I called to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.'

'And I called you here today to personally wish you a Merry Christmas and give you your gift.'

'Aww Rory you shouldn't have.' He said inching closer to her. Tristan looked on clenching the steering wheel. She took a deep breath and backed away.

'Dean, you were a great first boyfriend for me. I totally agree with that, but look at you! You're still hung up over some high school relationship. Let it go! I'm so happy right now, and nothing you can do will change that!'

'Oh, so you're big strong boyfriend will protect you?'

'I don't need protecting! I need someone who doesn't call me after I already broke up with them for over 6 months! You're 20, don't you think you should have more common sense than that?'

'You used to love me.' He said helplessly.

'I never loved you Dean. Why can't you see that? You used to be a great guy. Whatever happened to you, it must really suck. Now go back home to Lindsay.'

'She refuses to talk to me.' He said softly.

'Gee imagine that.' Rory mocked tilting her head.

'Rory—'

'No! I refuse to listen to your stupid…requests. You gave someone your vow and you fucking had to break her trust. Fine drag me down too, but leave me there for someone else. Don't hold on! I let go of you back in high school!' Rory cried frustrated.

'Your making a mistake.'

'You're right. I should be at home with my boyfriend having an amazing post Thanksgiving celebration instead of being here debating a wall!'

'A wall?'

'Yea, because talking to you feels like talking to a wall. You don't absorb anything I'm telling you, it just sits in front of you.' Rory did the signal. She was frustrated. Tristan noticed and slowly got out of the car making his way to the two.

'Hey, are you ready to go yet babe?' He asked bringing her into his arms and kissing her head.

'Bagboy.' He said nodding towards Dean.

'The accountant? You're with the accountant?' Rory turned around and looked at Tristan before smiling and turning around.

'Yea I am; now you have a baby on the way. It be a shame for you to pull a Dan Scott, now wouldn't it?' Rory asked with mock sympathy. Dean stared at the ground.

'Glad, we had this talk, Dean.' Rory said turning around in Tristan's arms.

'Hello.' He said kissing her softly and slowly on the lips.

'Did you get everything you needed?' she asked referring to the nearby store.

'Yup, two boxes Twisted Pleasure condoms.' Tristan said winking. Rory bit her lip from laughing. The conversation was supposed to go slightly differently.

'But I thought you were only going in to get whipped cream?' Rory said. Yes, definitely different then they imagined.

'Well, I just remembered that I'm thankful for condoms, therefore I thought we could appreciate them tonight.' He said smirking.

'Sound good?' he asked rubbing his nose against hers.

'Sounds great.' Rory turned around to see Dean still standing there.

'Still not gone yet, huh?' Tristan asked.

'Well you might not want to stand out here too much longer. Frostbite in the nether regions is a bitch.' Tristan said before taking Rory's hand and leading her to the car where he opened the door for her and went around to his side of the car. There she found out that Tristan actually had bought Twisted Pleasure condoms. They tried them out later that night.

END FLASHBACK

'ANNNNNNNNND Print!' the photographer called. Rory and Tristan got off the ground and smiled widely. That had been quite a night.

'So Mrs. Future Dugrey, what shall we do now?' he asked giving her a cup of coffee from the refreshment table.

'Well, see Tristan's waiting back at my dorm. I'm sorry Christian, but you know. Seeing as I was with him first…I kind of have to get back to him.'

'Rory!" Tristan whined. She smiled and kissed his nose.

'I've never been to Vegas.' Rory suggested. He laughed and shook his head.

'Maybe some other time.' He whispered in her ear. She smiled widely and kissed him gently.

'Jeez, let it go you two! You'd think that the shooting of the movie would have had you two kissed out, but nope!' Alex teased walking by the two.

'I never showed this to you, did I?' Rory asked pulling a diamond ring out of her pocket.

'Holy sh—'

'Language.'

'—enanigans.' Alex finished.

'Well congratulations you two! That's awesome!' Well I gotta run, I'll catch you two later.' Alex said patting them both on the back and giving them both a quick hug before running out.

'Shall we make our way out too, my dear?' Tristan asked extending his hand.

'Well shall.' She said accepting it and then just wrapped her arms around his torso and walked with him out.

'JUST WAIT UNTIL THE PREMIERE!' Alex called back. The two looked confused.

'JUST WAIT! YOU'LL SEE WHAT I'm TALKING ABOUT.' Alex said before he drove off. Rory and Tristan laughed and shook their heads. Sometimes Alex was crazy…but then again. They didn't really know what the premiere had on store for them.

A/N: The next chapter will be the premiere, and then I think there will be one last chapter. Maybe not, we'll see. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and it wasn't too strange.

Chad and Sophia:

I read in about three sources on paper that he had cheated on her, about four internet sources that said the same thing, but I only read in one magazine that he had admitted to doing it while they were engaged and married. I think this sucks. No one deserves to be cheated on, and I've gotta tell you, he's a jerk for doing that.

PLEASE review! Thank you all soo much, Kiki.
