In My World

I do not own Gilmore Girls or the original characters. I own the other girls and this story and that's pretty much it. You can have the penny that's sitting in front of my if you want.

Rating is T or PG-13 for basic sexuality and a lot of cursing.

All comments/questions are accepted so don't feel shy.

'So how much do I owe you?' Jack Penner asked Rory.

'You're an easy customer to please…plus you don't cheat on your wife so I'll give you a small discount.' They both smiled.

So how much?' he asked pulling out his wallet.

'I showed up at your place around 6 and it's…12:30 now, so $150 would be fine.'

'And if I make a withstanding appointment each week, same time same day, how much?'

'$115.' Rory said automatically.

'I'll see you Wednesday at 6.' He said handing Rory a check. Rory nodded and smiled then walked out of his house. Rory organized the 7 twenty dollar bills and noticed that he had given her 5 dollars extra. She'd bring it up to him next time. She walked down the street about to put her money away when a voice stopped her.

'Isnt it a little late out?' Rory turned and saw Tristan leaning against a lamppost.

'I could ask you the same thing.' He shrugged.

'I just came back from going out with a friend.' She said easily. He nodded.

'And the money? Did they pay you back or something?'

'Uhh yea, but it's a long story.' Tristan nodded.

'So how is it, you're always where I am?' Rory asked just realizing it.

'I don't know, but I live there.' He said pointing to an apartment building next to the one she had just come out of. Rory nodded.

'Wanna grab something to eat?' he asked. She shrugged and followed him to a small 24 hour diner. He held the door open and slid into a booth across from her. They were silent for awhile.

'You're full of shit.' Tristan said suddenly.

'Excuse me?'

'You were with Jack Penner tonight. I was at that doctor's gala too.' He said pointing to his formal attire she hadn't noticed in the dark. Rory's eyes widened.

'The funny thing, is that I could have sworn he had a wife.'

'He does, but she was out of town tonight and he didn't want to go empty armed. Plus I'm a friend of his so he asked me.' Rory said thinking quickly.

'Funny thing then since I just picked her up from her sister's. See while you may be friends with her, she's my aunt and she never mentioned nor did he ever mention you.'

'New found friendship.' Rory said immediately.

'There's something about you that worries me. I don't know what, but I don't like it.'

'Maybe you should keep to yourself then. Since I worry you.' Rory said snapping. He put his hands up.

'Look, I didn't mean to get all doctorish on you, but you're just not….the Rory Gilmore I once knew.'

'Funny how that works. Now I have to get home. Roommates are strict.' Rory said standing up.

'There's a party Saturday night. Come with me.' He said thinking quickly.

'A party?' Rory asked raising an eyebrow.

'Yea, we can do something first though, or whatever.' Rory nodded.

'Okay, call me.' Rory said smiling quickly and leaving the diner quickly. Tristan shook his head. She seemed so…fidgety and anxious. He was going to figure her out. He had to.

All right guys. Now that my friend, Emilie, has unofficially…stopped this story, I'll try and do it. I wrote this chapter and I feel like this story may be a little too…strange. I may rewrite the whole thing and then repost it, but I'm not sure yet. There's time for that. Hope you enjoyed this. :0). Kiki.
