A/N: thanks to all the reviewers although it is a very small amount of people! Any way here is the next chapter.

Whatever chapter this is again I lost track.

Rory and Tristan arrived in stars hollow.

Rory: thank you so much fro bringing me here, I miss it sometimes ya know?

Tristan: yeah I know. He reached over and rubbed her check.

Rory and Tristan are walking hand in hand to Lukes.

Rory: I love you.

Tristan: I love you to Ror.

Rory: call me Mary. She smiled at him.

Tristan: wow ok I never would have thought I would hear those words come out of your mouth.

Rory: yeah well...she leaned in and kissed him.

As they were walking to Luke's they noticed that it was closed a sign on the door read gone fishing.

Tristan: oh well we can just get massive amounts of junk food. Were's the market?

Rory quickly tensed up. She looked like she had just seen a ghost.

Tristan looked her in the eye.

Tristan: what's wrong Mary?

Rory: nothing I think we can just um get pizza that's enough right.

Tristan: your saying no to junk food? Ok what's goin on?

Rory: he still works there.

Tristan: who? Who still works there?

Rory: Dean! Dean still works there I don't wanna go in there I don't wanna see him.

Tristan: ok woe slow down.

Rory: we were at this party we had broken up he got drunk and he got into this fight and I tried to stop him but he grabbed my wrist and he broke it.

She quickly broke down in tears and clung on to Tristan.

Rory: he wouldn't leave me alone I tried and he was so mean I had never seen him like that. He called me names he yelled it was horrible and all I could think of was that I'm a failure, look at who I pick I mean I pushed you away when I should have been pushing him away.

Tristan: It's ok he can't hurt you any more I won't let him, come on we will get a ton of movies, ok you go get the pizza , and I'll get the massive amounts of junk food he's probably not even in there.

They both got up and Tristan headed for the market. Were he saw none other than bag boy he couldn't believe that he hurt her, he hurt Mary, He hurt his Mary.

Dean: what are you doing here?

Tristan: I'm here with my girlfriend.

Dean: oh so the girls up in Hartford got sick of you.

Tristan: no the girls here got sick of you, and how you treat them.

Dean: what are you talking about?

Tristan: I'm here with Rory.

Tristan stepped closer to Dean looking him straight in the eye.

Tristan: If you ever lay a hand on her again I'm gonna hurt you, and with that he walked out, he hated that guy ever since the first time he saw him.

FLASHBACK:

TRISTAN: You know, we haven't met.

DEAN: No, we haven't.

TRISTAN: I'm TRISTAN.

DEAN: Ah, yes we have.

TRISTAN: What are you talking about?

DEAN: Rory's mentioned you.

TRISTAN: Oh yeah?

DEAN: Yeah. I wouldn't get quite so excited about it.

TRISTAN: Oh, why, did she say something mean?

DEAN: She said you're a jackass.

TRISTAN: Really?

DEAN: Actually, no, Rory doesn't use words like that. I embellished a little.

TRISTAN: Oh so you're the big strong protector? Little princess needs a protector?

DEAN: What's your problem, man?

TRISTAN: Nothing. Just don't like your girlfriend, that's all.

DEAN: Really? Doesn't look that way to me.

TRISTAN: I don't really care how it looks to you.

DEAN: Hey. You got in my path, not the other way around.

(Dean starts to walk away. TRISTAN steps in his way.)

DEAN: You're kidding right?

TRISTAN: Why, are you going somewhere?

DEAN: Get out of my way Dristan.

TRISTAN: Oh, aren't you clever.

(Rory steps between them.)

RORY: Hey, what's going on?

TRISTAN: Nothing. Just getting to know your boyfriend here.

DEAN: It's going really well, don't you think?

TRISTAN: Oh yeah. We're just about to build a clubhouse.

RORY: OK. Well I hate to break up the party, but we should go.

TRISTAN: Oh, why? Little girl's got to be home?

DEAN: Stop.

TRISTAN: No, I think you two make a very cute couple. Is your horse and buggy parked outside? Got to get home for the barn raising?

DEAN: Let's go.

(Dean and Rory start to walk away. TRISTAN steps in front of Rory. Dean shoves TRISTAN. People around them stop dancing and start watching the two guys.)

DEAN: What the hell do you think you're doing?

TRISTAN: OK, you will not push me again.

DEAN: Are you seriously trying to act tough? You're wearing a tie for God's sake.

TRISTAN: Outside! Now!

(The music stops abruptly.)

DEAN: I'm not fighting you. It'd be like fighting an accountant. I'll call you when I need my taxes done.

(TRISTAN lunges for Dean. It takes a few other boys and a man to separate them.)

DEAN: You don't want to fight me TRISTAN!

TRISTAN: Why not?

DEAN: 'Cause I'll kill you, idiot! Come on, Rory, let's go.

(As Rory and Dean walk away, TRISTAN breaks free from the people holding him back. Dean turns around and gets in his face.)

DEAN: You will not come near her. Ever again.

NO, YOU'LL NEVER COME NEAR HER AGAIN NOW THAT I'M HERE.
