Tristan pulled into Rory's driveway. "So"

"You want to come to the town meeting tonight?"

"Your town has meetings?"

"Yeah…."

He shook his head. "Yeah sure"

"Come on; let's go meet my mom at Luke's first"

"Okay" He pulled out again and drove off.

"Hey guys" Luke greeted as the two teenagers stepped in.

"Hey Luke"

"Hey Luke" They sat down. Lorelei came in shortly after. "Hey guys, How was school?"

Rory looked at Tristan. "Dean stopped by. He came to apologize"

"Bastard"

Rory looked up to see Luke behind her.

"Tristan punched him"

Luke eyed Tristan. He grunted. "I think I'm starting to like you, kid"

Tristan chuckled uncomfortably.

Lorelei stayed quiet.

"Mom?"

She sighed. "I can't believe he had the nerve to stop by. God that kid is dumb"

Rory looked down. "On a lighter note, Tristan is coming to the town meeting with us"

Luke stared at him. "Crazy" He shook his head and walked back to the counter.

Lorelei smiled. "Oh this'll be fun"

"I'm getting the feeling that these meetings aren't the best things in the world"

"Oh you're wrong. They're fun" Lorelei grinned.

They finished up at Luke's and Lorelei went to meet Sookie. Tristan and Rory walked beside each other. Both of them had their hands in their pockets.

"So"

"So"

"Be honest, what are these town meetings like?"

Rory laughed. "Taylor, the head person of the town or whatever, is well, out there. He comes up with the craziest ideas. Luke gets irritated and there's always a big argument between the two. Mom and I usually bring popcorn"

He laughed. "You two are exactly alike"

Rory shrugged and smiled. "What can I say, we're best friends"

They walked in.

"Hello townspeople" Taylor said once everyone got seated. "An important issue has been brought to my attention. It's a bad issue but, bad issues are permanent in lives so I guess ill just have to start" He sighed and looked around. "Rory Gilmore is a special part of this town, We all love her. So when I heard that a certain someone" He looked directly at Dean. "Had caused this wonderful girl pain I knew I had to act fast. So, my suggestion is, and Dean I'm sorry to have to do this, but, my suggestion is, we kick him out!"

The town cheered. Lorelei, Sookie, Tristan, Jackson and Rory all sat in shock. Well, Until Lorelei and Sookie and Jackson started cheering. Tristan looked at Rory. He had a smile on his face. He couldn't help it.

"Are you kidding me?" Dean shouted.

"I'm sorry Dean. But it was either you or her. We like her better" Taylor said. Dean walked out. Stopping in front of the row where Rory sat. Tristan and Jackson stood up, folded their arms around their chest and looked tough. Dean scoffed and walked off.

"AH! I can't believe Taylor kicked him out!" Lorelei said as the five of them walked into Luke's sand sat down.

"Taylor kicked who out?" Luke asked coming over.

"Dean!" Lorelei said. "Taylor kicked Dean out of the town!"

Luke's eyes got big.

"Luke?" Lorelei asked. "You okay?"

"Taylor's actions just made me happy" He mumbled.

Lorelei chuckled. "Do you need to sit down?"

He nodded and sat down. He didn't say anything.

"Oh! I can't believe it! Oh this makes me so happy! maybe I'll go and bake cookies for the whole town!" Sookie exclaimed.

"Oh and put 'Dean's gone!' on them with icing!" Jackson suggested

"Maybe we should throw the town a 'Deans Gone' Party!" Lorelei laughed "We can make balloons and decorations and everything!"

"This is officially the best town meeting ever!"

Tristan looked at Rory. She hadn't said anything. He wondered what was wrong. "Hey do you want to go take a walk?"
