Rory and Audrey went into the common room modeling Tim's designs, "You two look fabulous!"

Rory was wearing the conservative sparkly blue top with a denim skirt and cute white kitten heels. Audrey, however, was wearing the opposite, a sparkly red halter top with a black mini and knee high black boots.

Tim gushed, "You two are like Yin and Yang, Devil and Angel, Mary-Kate and Ash…"

Audrey cut him off, "Okay, I get it. We look like opposites. Can we get to this party?"

Rory was hesitant about going to the party, "I don't know. What if you-know-who is there?"

Audrey encouraged her friend, "If he's there we'll get Tim to kick his ass."

Tim chimed in, "Tim will do what?"

Audrey rolled her eyes, "Okay, if he's there, we'll get a random guy to kick his butt."

Rory laughed at Tim and Audrey. They were so quirky. Both of them reminded her of all the colorful Stars Hollow characters.

Rory finally caved, "Okay, let's go."

Tim, Audrey and Rory left the common room and headed to the party. This was going to be an interesting night.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The three friends entered the party room with Lupe Fiasco blaring out of the speaker system.

Audrey attempted to talk over the music, "Let's split up."

Rory couldn't hear her, "What?"

Audrey yelled louder, "Let's split up."

Rory nodded her head, "Okay. But if he's here meet me by the…." She looked around and pointed to the front door, "door."

Audrey nodded her head and headed to the dance floor. Rory went to the seating area. She sat there and started watching everyone dancing. She needed Logan.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Audrey walked around the dance floor. She knew guys' heads were turning; she normally had that effect on guys. Audrey knew exactly why she'd become a little "risky". When she was younger, she was actually pretty quiet, even though she had a loud personality. She was so shy; she'd always blow her moment to ask a guy out. That changed the day she realized maybe she should try being the opposite for a while, but a while changed for at least five years.

Audrey made her way through the crowd of dancers to find her other friend, Ellie. Ellie was a lot like Audrey. In other words, she was a tad slutty. One major way that Ellie and Audrey differed was that Audrey studied hard and Ellie never went to class and was a complete airhead.

When she finally found Ellie, Audrey went towards her. Something happened that held her back, she heard Tristan's laugh. She desperately tried to shake his laugh out of her head, but she couldn't. This is ridiculous! Tristan is at Harvard! Audrey made her way towards Ellie.

Ellie greeted her friend, "Hey Audrey."

Audrey seemed distracted; she couldn't shake his laugh out of her head, "Hey, El."

Ellie was oblivious to her friend's obvious distraction, "There's this guy over there who wants to hookup with me and he has a friend. Maybe you could go meet him?"

Audrey was still distracted, "Uh, no, you go ahead. I need to go find Tim."

This definitely caught her friend's attention. Ellie knew Audrey never turned down to at least go meet a guy. But Ellie avoided the confrontation all together, "Okay, whatevs. See you later."

Audrey watched her friend walk off. Why the hell is it so hard to just forget about him? Audrey did the only thing she could think of: When in doubt, go make out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rory made her way across the room noticing Audrey making out with a complete stranger, I bet she doesn't even know his name.

"Hey Mary," she heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Tristan," sat down next to her. "Cool party, huh?"

Rory nodded her head, "Yeah, the music's pretty cool."

"Are you here alone?" Tristan changed the subject.

"No, my roommate and her friend are here, but they are probably dancing." Rory then added, "Or something else."

Tristan laughed, "Something else?"

Rory just smiled, "Just forget it."

She then heard a very very familiar voice, "Hey, Ace."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After her make out session with Jeff ended, Audrey decided to find Rory. There's no way she wants to miss out on dancing. She saw her talking to Logan, the ex-boyfriend. She decided to run damage control.

She strolled over, "Hey Logan."

He looked over noticing he probably wasn't in the mood to argue, "Coffee cart girl, what a pleasure."

Rory rolled her eyes, "Logan, this is my roommate. I told her to make sure she kept you away from me."

Logan was aggravated, "Why?"

Rory rolled her eyes, "We're broken up."

Logan was obviously jealous, "No we're not. You're over here talking to this Hugh Heffner." He pointed to some guy sitting on the couch. Audrey's back was turned she didn't even notice it was him.

"Tristan?!" Audrey said breathlessly and scared.

"Audrey?" Tristan asked confused.

"Tim!" Tim shouted trying to break the tension.

Audrey glared at him. He went back to the dance floor knowing that it was probably wrong to try and break the tension.

Audrey shrugged off running into him and turned her back to him and started talking to Rory, "I know how we can get out of this."

She directed Rory into the dance floor. Tristan tried to hold both of them back, "Audrey, we weren't finished."

Audrey yelled back, "I am, Tristan. I've got to go." Every time she got near him, she needed to put up walls, no matter how much she liked him.

They were guided through the dance floor. That's when she ran into her boyfriend, Seth.

"Hey babe," he said clearly wasted.

Audrey was frustrated, "Seth just….go away, I'll call you later."

He shook his head, "Not until we talk."

Audrey finally snapped at him, "No. There is no more talking. We're over Seth. Go back to the blonde waiting for you."

She left him standing mouth open. She continued to guide a crying Rory through the dance floor until they found Tim. "We're leaving."

She pushed both of them out of the doorway and into the car as fast as she could. She headed back to the dorm as fast as possible. She just wanted to make today be over with.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

She dropped Tim off and went back to the dorm and immediately brought out two cartons of ice cream.

She started to eat the carton while Rory ate the other one.

"Can you explain to me what just happened?"

Rory answered her question, "Logan's a jerk."

Audrey laughed, "I know that, but how do you know Tristan?"

Rory shrugged, "I went to high school with him. I ran into him today. How do you know him?"

Audrey looked into her carton of ice cream obviously searching for an excuse not to tell her, "He was the guy at Harvard."

Rory went into shock mode, "So that's where that anger came from."

Audrey winced, "More like blinding frustration."

Rory gave a small laugh, "I noticed how you took on Seth. I have never seen someone more in shock."

Audrey gave a small laugh, "That was in the heat of the moment. I wouldn't have the guts to do that without the original pain. What about Logan?"

Rory now looked at the bottom of her ice cream carton looking for an answer, "I don't know. Originally, seeing him jealous would make it cute. Now, I just went to flashbacks of that night at the Pub."

"What happened?"

Rory gave a deep sigh, "My old boyfriend came back into town. He just wrote a book. So I figured since Jess was there, we should catch up. As we were about to leave, Logan pulled up in his Porsche."

Audrey looked like she was watching a movie, "Uh-oh."

"Anyways, he looked a little jealous when he pulled up but I kind of ignored it. Things were fine until we got to the Pub. To make a long story short, Logan was acting like a jerk to Jess, and I called him out on his crap."

Audrey was confused, "When did you guys break up?"

Rory started, "We didn't. At least I didn't know. That's when his sister called…"

"Stupid Logan."

"She called and told me that she thought her brother was a jerk for breaking up with me. At that point, I didn't know we were broken up. So apparently I was wrong."

"Ouch. Logan is so incredibly assy."

"Yeah."

Rory and Audrey looked at the TV screen which was showing "On the Beach".

Audrey wrinkled her nose, "No offense, but I'm not in the mood to watch a movie about a nuclear war that eventually wipes out the planet."

Rory agreed, "Me neither."

Audrey got up from the couch and started searching from something in the DVD cabinet, "Here it is."

Audrey put on SNL, "I figured it would make us laugh."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"No it isn't!" Rory argued with Audrey.

"That is so John Belushi!" Audrey argued.

"You're insane! That's Jim Belushi," Rory wrinkled her nose.

"No, you're the crazy one. I'll look it up, you stay here," she said as she went into her room to prove Rory wrong.

Rory then heard a knock on the door. She was hesitant about answering the door, what if it was Logan?

She reluctantly answered the door and was relieved it wasn't Logan. That didn't necessarily mean that she was out of the woods yet, it was Tristan.

Rory quietly said, "Tristan, I don't think you should be here."

Tristan was obviously on a mission. He firmly stated to Rory, "Let me talk to Audrey."

Rory shook her head, "Tristan, I don't think that's such a good idea. Give her some space."

He ignored her, "If I do that, I won't get any answers."

She shook her head again, "Tristan, as a friend to both of you, if you keep showing up on our doorstep, you'll smother her and she'll push away."

Tristan considered doing this, "Fine. Promise me that she'll talk to me eventually."

Rory gave him a weak smile, "I promise."

Before he left, he added to Rory, "Meet me at the coffee shop tomorrow at one."

"See you tomorrow."

Just as she closed the door, Audrey went into the common room again, "Ha! I was right. It was John Belushi!"

Rory gave a nervous laugh, "You win."

Audrey was confused, "Who was at the door?"

Rory thought of an excuse. She remembered Finn, "Some drunk guy was looking for some girl's dorm."

Audrey eyed her suspiciously, "Okay."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Audrey was on her fifth coffee run before she had her next class. She went to the coffee cart outside. Of course she saw Logan, but she completely ignored him.

"Thanks Jim," She said handing him the money.

Logan looked up from his sitting place. She gave him a dirty look and then went walking to her next class. He eventually caught up with her.

"Coffee cart girl, wait up!"

She rolled her eyes and started walking faster.

He eventually caught up with her, "You know you're defeating the purpose of what I just said."

She continued walking faster, "I have to get to economics."

He smirked, "Good, I have economics too."

She stopped dead in her tracks, "You're bluffing."

He smiled, "At least that got you to slow down."

"What do you want Logan? I really do have to get to class."

"Just give me two minutes and I swear I will no longer stalk you at the coffee cart."

She didn't have to think twice about that offer, "Deal."

He took a deep breath and said very quickly, "As you figured out from last night, Rory and I are on the outs."

She corrected him, "Broken up from what Rory told me."

He winced, "Okay, maybe. But, I still like her and you know that she and I belong together. Am I telling the truth so far?"

"Yes. But I don't know what this little talk will do for you."

"I was getting to the part." He continued, "If maybe you can convince her…"

"Unlike you, I don't lie or manipulate."

Logan smirked and raised an eyebrow at her. She put a hand on her hip and challenged him by glaring at him. After twenty seconds of glaring, she gave up, "Okay, I manipulate some. It's not my fault I'm hot."

He laughed, "It is your fault that you make out with random guys to cover up obvious pain."

She argued, "From what Rory tells me, you did that too."

Logan had his normal smirk, "So you and I are the same."

Audrey corrected him, "I'm nothing like you."

Logan looked at the ground, "I guess I deserved that." He went back on topic, "I think maybe you can put in a good word for me, she'll consider me again."

She looked at him suspiciously. She finally gave in, "Fine. But I'm not guaranteeing things. Can I get to class now?"

He smirked, "Thank you so much. If there's anything I can do for you please tell me."

She looked at the coffee cart, "You could get me coffee. My cup will be out by the time I reach class and it's very draining talking to you."

He smiled, "Of course."

Once she got her coffee, she said to him, "I think Rory misses you too, just for the record."

He gave a weak smile, "I hope."

Audrey got to her economics class thinking about Tristan. Why couldn't she just forget about him? It was easy to forget about Seth, why was it so hard to not think about him?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Rory met Tristan at the coffee shop at one on the dot. To her surprise, Tristan was on time, which was a first for all she knew.

She looked at him. He was obviously up late last night considering his hair was messy and he looked like he was about to fall asleep any minute.

He brought up Audrey, "How's Audrey?"

Rory shrugged, "She just broke up with Seth, but I don't think both of them we're really together in the first place."

Tristan seemed to brighten up, "Really?"

She hated to burst his bubble, "Actually, she hooked up with 3 guys last night."

His face fell to a frown again, "Do you have any idea why she does that?"

Rory shrugged, "Maybe to numb the pain."

Tristan was confused, "What pain?"

Rory changed the subject, "You look terrible. How late were you up last night?"

He put his hand through his hair, "Umm… I don't know but I got about two hours of sleep."

She was curious, "Why?"

He got tense all of a sudden, "I, uh, um…"

She filled in the blanks for him, "I think I know why I'm here now."

He sighed and finally let the truth out, "Okay, here goes nothing." He took a deep breath, "As you may have picked up on, I still like Audrey, a lot."

She gave a sarcastic 'no'.

He smiled, "Well, the thing is I don't know why exactly she broke up with me. Maybe you could find out."

She grimaced, "I actually know the answer to that."

He was interested all of a sudden, "She was talking about me."

She shrugged, "Yes. All I know is that she said she got scared because she felt she got too close and she knew she was transferring to Yale and she figured she'd save you from having to break up with her."

He protested, "I never was going to break up with her."

"Tell that to her, not me."

Tristan put his hear through his hair while he thought. He finally came up with an idea, "Maybe you can convince her to get back with me OR talk to me for that matter."

Rory was reluctant, "I don't know Tristan. It would feel as if I'm forcing her."

Tristan started to beg, "She'd listen to you. Please Rory?"

She gave a hesitant smile, "Okay, fine."

He looked relieved, "Thank you so much."

"I'll do it if you get some sleep."

He laughed, "That would be good."

A/N: Audrey and Logan are forming a friendship as Rory and Tristan are, too. But, I have to know, TRORY or ROGAN?
