"Taking pity on your burger?" Lorelai asked as she sat with her daughter at Luke's Diner.

"Not hungry." Rory responded shortly. Lorelai was taken back. First because well Gilmore's were always hungry and second by the mood her daughter seemed to be in.

"Honey, you've got to eat. You're gonna kill yourself in a couple of hours, you really need your strength." Lorelai joked hoping to get Rory to snap out of the mood she'd been in since she came home from school.

"Ha ha." she deadpanned. Rory was afraid to tell her Mom about her newly acquired relationship with Tristan. Her mom liked Dean, She didn't want her to be disappointed in her.

"Maybe Dean won't even come tonight." Lorelai offered and that seemed to catch Rory's attention.

"Mom.." Rory trailed off. "All right, that's it. This afternoon we are going to engage in some intensive retail therapy to bring you out of this funk"

"No Thanks" Rory declined. She wasn't upset, She just was confused and frustrated with the whole situation.

"I mean it. Today is the day we finally spring for the Powerpuff girl shotglasses."

"Mom, There is something I gotta tell you." Rory said slowly receiving a odd look from her mother.

"When I was around your age and said that to my mother…Your not pregnant are you?" Lorelai joked. "No mom, But I do have something to tell you on the relationship front."

"Oh well then, enlighten Mommy."

"Well, I was at school and I was talking to Tristan. I asked him not to say anything to Dean about our kiss at the party. Then I told him that it didn't mean anything and I didn't exactly mean it…" Rory began.

"What did you mean?" Lorelai asked curiously.

"Well, It's just I thought that the kiss didn't mean anything to me but I was lying to myself. It did mean something, it meant a lot."

"Ok, Ror. What else happened?" Lorelai questioned. She could tell Rory was hesitant to tell her.

"Oh, Um.. Tristan he's been getting into a lot of trouble lately and even though it wasn't any of my business I pried and asked him about it." Rory explained.

"True Gilmore Girl Fashion… Continue." Lorelai urged.

"Well, He asked my what my point was, why I cared and I couldn't think of anything except that I cared about him…Then instead of using words I used my mouth…and quite possibly my tongue." Rory admitted blushing.

Lorelai laughed, Her daughter, The girl dubbed Mary was admitting that she had kissed a guy to convey a feeling and was embarrassed about it.

"So you want to be with Tristan, Hun that's fine. You can't be with someone that you don't feel passionate about. You need the butterflies and if Dean doesn't give them to you then you shouldn't be with him."

"Your not…Disappointed in me?" Rory questioned hopefully. "God no, Rory. You have good judgment on a persons character. If you think Tristan is worthy of your attention than he is. I am not going to question you."

"Thanks mom." Rory smiled relieved that her mother understood. "However, You need to tell Dean. It's not fair to lead him on."

Rory nodded. She had to tell Dean, She didn't want to hurt him but she couldn't string him along.

Rory was sitting on the bench in front of Miss Patty's studio when Tristan pulled up. She ran to him and gave him a quick peck on the lips before backing away cautiously.

"I don't have cooties, Mary." He whispered with a smirk on his face. "I know that, But I haven't broke up with Dean yet. I couldn't get a hold of him."

Tristan nodded, He understood that she didn't come into this …whatever it was without baggage. Hell he had his own personal set, carry on an all.

Rory notices the look of uneasiness on his face. "Don't worry. After tonight, It's me and you. Unless, That's not what you want…"

Tristan grabbed Rory around the waist and pulled her close to him. "That's exactly what I want, It's what I've always wanted." He said seriously erasing any doubts from her mind.

"Ok." She whispered meekly giving him a hug.

As the pulled away Rory caught a glimpse of Dean coming over to them. "I'll be right back." She promised. Tristan smiled and assured her that he'd be waiting.

"Hey Dean." Rory greeted him. "Hey, Ror." He said trying to give her a kiss but she backed away before he could.

"Can we talk?" She asked. Dean just nodded hesitantly, Usually the words 'Can we talk' never turned out well.

"Over the past few days…some things have changed…I care about you, I really do. I want you to be happy but I can't be the one to make you happy." She ventured.

"Yes, You can Rory. I love you." Dean argued. "Dean, I love you to but I'm not in love…" Rory said but she flinched as the words escaped her mouth. She could have found words that weren't so harsh, weren't so to the point.

"This is because of Tristan isn't it? I knew it was only a matter of time before your snobby friends from Chilton would influence you to date that jerk!" Dean yelled loud enough for Tristan to hear him.

Rory looked back at Tristan and shook her head pleading with him not to go over there and make matters worse.

"Dean, Tristan is a nice person, It just took me a while to see that. I don't have a lot of friends at Chilton and the ones I do have don't want me going out with Tristan, It's my choice." Rory yelled angrily.

Dean glared at Tristan then cast a look at Rory "Fine go off and be with him, He'll get bored. Your not good enough for him, you not good enough for anyone." Dean spat before turning and walking away.

Rory stood in shock, She expected Dean to be hurt be she didn't expect him to say such horrible things to her. She slowly made her way back to Tristan who was sitting on the bench she was previously occupying.

They sat in silence before he wrapped his arms around her and whispered "He's wrong, I'm the one whose not good enough for you."

Rory didn't say anything just leaned further into him, He made her problems disappear. Of course Rory's comfort was short lived.

"Oh My God!" She heard a voice shriek.

Obviously only one more chapter left...Sorry it's taking me longer to get up than I thought it would.

Can we all tell that I don't like Dean and I think he's a jerk? Because if you can't you will in the next chapter (Laughs evilly)

I'll give you one guess on who the voice was haha!

Anyways, Please Review!
