Tristan quickly smirked down at Rory before he swooped down to capture her lips in another passionate, yet gentle kiss. "What do you say we get out of here Mary?" Tristan said picking up his duffle bag.

"Yea, let's go." Rory said as she took his hand and led him out of the cheering crowd. They walked hand in hand back to Rory's house as they talked about random things, such as how they were going to spend their summer and what military school was like for Tristan.

"Wow Tris, military school sounds like it really was hell. Do you still have to go back at the end of the summer?" Rory said carefully eyeing Tristan to see what his reaction was. She could always tell whether it was good or bad news by looking into his eyes because if you looked closely enough they could tell you everything you ever needed to know.

"Yea babe, I do. I'm only on leave for the summer. My father actually wanted to ship me off to Europe this summer to live with my mother parents." Tristan said as they continued to walk.

"Well then what changed? Why did he let you come here?"

"Well I groveled, and begged every chance I got to try and convince him to let me come here for the summer. Finally my older brother Elliot and his wife Charlotte took pity on me and told my father that I could stay with them for the summer." Tristan said as they came up to Rory's house.

"So then you'll be within driving distance all summer?" Rory said as she opened the door.

"Yea, I'm all yours Mary, for an entire three months. So Mare, go any ideas as to what we can do?" Tristan breathed hotly into her ear as he rapped his arms around her waist from behind.

"Oh I don't know." Rory said smirking as Tristan began to kiss down her neck. "Do you have any suggestions?" Rory sighed as he kissed her collar bone.

"Yea…First we can do this," Tristan said kissing down her neck and then back up and around her jaw. "Then a little of this," he murmured as he kissed her lips and pushed her up against the wall. He gently probed her closed lips with his tongue until she parted them for him. Their tongues battled for dominance while she intertwined her hands in his short hair and as he played with her hips, gently drawing circles on them. She finally relented to his tongue as he pushed just flush against her, enticing a moan from her lips. They continued like this, never moving from the wall until they heard someone not so subtly coughed behind them.

"You know if you want to date my daughter any more you're going to have to let her breathe so she can live to see it," Lorelei laughed. Tristan and Rory immediately pulled apart; Tristan looked like he thought he was going to get killed and Rory looked insanely embarrassed.

"Oh Tristan wipe that worried look off your face…I won't hurt you…yet." Lorelei said with an evil grin. "Now you too I want to have a movie night tonight so go get the movies and junk food…I'll order the food."

Tristan and Rory quickly nodded and walked out the door. "Gosh I thought she was going to crucify me in there." Tristan said running a hand through his hair.

"No, she likes you. You just might want to sleep with one eye open for awhile." Rory said laughing as she intertwined her hand with Tristan's and pulled him closer.

"Oh your funny," Tristan said kissing the top of her head as they walked, "Freaking hilarious, really." Tristan said as they both laughed.

"Well if it isn't the GI Jackass and the newest town tramp," A voice snarled behind them. They turned around and came face to face with Dean. "Well I just have to say Rory that I just loved your little performance earlier. How come you never got that way with me?" Dean said stepping closer.

"Dean…" Rory said nervously…She had just gotten Tristan back and the last thing she needed him to do was get into a fight and get sent home sooner.

"No Rory stop…Dean listen I'm not going to fight you." Tristan said as he attempted to walk away.

"Wow Rory, it seems your boyfriend is really lacking…if you know what I mean." This caused Tristan to chuckle as he turned around and placed his hands in his pockets as he rocked back and forth on his heals. "Oh yea bagboy…and what's that?"

"Balls it looks like I'm packing more than you." Dean said with a snarl that made for grimace and Tristan laugh.

"Oh come off it Dean…the only thing you are packing is a load of bullshit to make up for the fact that you would know what a woman wanted, even if we spelled it out for you," Tristan said stepping closer to Dean.

"I swear to God,' Dean said as he lunged forward at Tristan, but before he could hit him Jess (who had seen the whole thing) stepped in the middle. "Hey, Bean Poll why don't you just take it easy okay? We wouldn't want you to pull something." Jess said as he put his hands on Dean's chest and pushed him back.

"Gosh, damn it Rory what do you even see in him? What does he have that I don't?"

"Well not to brag, but I am prettier than you Dean," Tristan said with a smirk.

"Oh shut up accountant."

"Hey Dean don't get your granny panties in a twist or anything, but if I was a girl I'd do him." Jess said with a playful smirk as he turned and winked at Tristan. "Uh thanks Jess? I think?"

When Jess turned back around he was met with Dean's knuckles as his fist collided with his jaw. "What the fuck man!" Jess said as he touched his jaw.

"You know man I can't stand you; you and your sarcastic remarks." Dean said as he walked closer to Jess; this time it was Tristan who intervened. 'Listen Dean calm down." Tristan said standing in front of Jess.

"No you calm down. Just get out of my way. You know Rory don't come crying to me when he sleeps with you and then gets board. He's going to turn you into another one of his little tramps and then leave." This is all it took for Tristan and Jess to completely loose it. In no time the both of them were on top of Dean showing him just oh much they hated him. Rory couldn't take this; no matter how much she hated Dean, he didn't deserve to have the shit beaten out of him.

"Jess, Tristan, stop now!" Rory yelled as she tried to pull Jess off of Dean.

"No Rory! I'm not going to just stand back and let some jack ass call my girlfriend a whore," Tristan said as he pointed to Dean.

"Tristan just stop! I get that you want to defend me I really do…but believe me…Dean isn't worth it." Rory said as she walked closer to Tristan, "Dean, get a life…I mean really….this is a little pathetic don't you think. Just go home," Rory said as she turned to walk away, "come on Jess, Tristan, let's get you guys cleaned up." Rory said as the three of them walked away.

Lorelei had seen Rory, Jess and Tristan walk up the driveway and walked outside to meet them. "What the HELL happened to you two?" Tristan and Jess were both sporting a black eye a couple other scratches here and there, but nothing too serious.

"Dean insulted Rory," Tristan started to say, "So there for we felt the need to kick the shit out of him," Jess finished with a smirk. Rory and Tristan just glared at him, "What?!" He said.

"You know what I don't even want to know what he said. At least not right now," Lorelei said as she through her hands up, "Rory you can tell me later. Right now let's get you guys cleaned up." Lorelei said as she ushered them into the house. "Are you alright Rory?" Lorelei whispered.

"Yea I'm fine," Rory said as she walked into the house.

A half an hour and a couple of ice packs later Jess was getting ready to leave and Rory was walking him out. "Listen Jess, I wanted to thank you for what you did today, for helping Tristan, and I out. I really appreciate it." Rory said closing the door behind them.

"No Ror, don't worry about it. You're my friend and I like Tristan…he's a good guy. You guys are good together…" Jess said as he walked down a step.

"How do you know?" Rory said softly.

"The way he looks at you Rory, like your going to disappear if he takes his eyes off of you….and wow. Promise me something?" Jess laughed.

"What?" Rory smiled.

"Take a knife from the diner and stab me with it if I ever sound that corny again?" Jess laughed.

"Thanks Jess." Rory said giving him a hug.

"Well just remember," Jess said stepping back, "Since I did put my life on the line and all," Jess said with mock seriousness, "I expect your first child that you and lover boy have to be named…"

"Jess?" Rory guessed.

"No Hemmingway." Jess smirked.

"JESS!" Rory laughed. "I'm not doing that."

"Well," Jess said in mock anger and astonishment as he put his hand to his heart, "I've never been so insulted. I'm just going to leave." Jess said as he walked away, "I don't think we can be friends now." Jess said as he walked down the driveway.

"Jess! I didn't mean it! Come on," Rory said trying to get him back but laughing at the same time.

The only response she got from Jess was him waving his hand in the air and laughing as he walked away.
