Sorry this part took me so long, I've been pretty
busy, I'll try to get the next part out there sooner.


MONDAY MORNING- RoryS LOCKER, CHILTON

Rory had just gotten to school and was now proceeding
to empty the books that she had taken home to study
for her finals. She was happy that it was the end of
the year, although it did mean a lot of studying. As
she was thinking about her summer she heard a voice
come from behind her:

“hey Rory, are you ready for our movie premiere
today?” 
Rory spun around and saw Tristan standing there

“hey Tristan, did you bring the video?” she asked
he took it out of his backpack and showed it to her. 
“I watched it again last night, and i really think
that it’s pretty good”
“yea, well i hope Mr. Medina likes it.”
“I'm sure he will, can i walk you to class?” he asked
rather shyly.
“yea, that would  be good.” she answered as she
grabbed a book out of her locker and slammed it shut.

She knew that there was something different about
Tristan, she began to see that things were changing,
and that he wasn’t the person that he was before, or
at least not to her. She was glad to be around him,
and she didn’t know what this meant yet, and she
wasn’t sure if she wanted to find out.

MR. MEDINA’S ENGLISH CLASS

“well class, this is it, your last project of the
year. I hope you all completed them. Well we should
get started, Louise, Jasper, why don't’ we start with
you. Tell us what your play is about, how you got the
idea, and if you think it is successful.”

Louise and Jasper got up and started talking about
their play, and Rory and Tristan waited patiently
until it was there turn to show theirs. SO far most of
the plays had been some sci-fi action plot, or a
drama, and they were all rather boring. The class
ended and their movie hadn’t been shown yet.

“Well that is all the time that we have today, i can’t
wait to see the what others wrote tomorrow, have a
good day.” Mr. Medina said as he snatched up some
papers and left the room.

Both Rory and Tristan were a bit disappointed that
there movie wasn’t shown.

Rory was packing up her stuff when Tristan came up
behind her again, “i guess there saving the best for
last, right Rory?”

“I guess so.” they both laughed.
“SO what are you doing today?” Tristan asked her
“well i thought i would study for Global, since that
is our first exam.”
“well, i was thinking that maybe we could study
together?” Tristan asked her
“hmm, well studying is a solitary activity, i guess it
might be helpful to see someone else's notes., so yea,
i guess, do you want to come to my house?”
“yea, that would be good, i can give you a ride?”
“great, and then we can go to Luke's and eat something
before we start.”
“sounds good, I'll meet you after school.” 
“bye Tristan”

When school ended they left Chilton and drove to stars
hollow. They stopped home first to change and then
went to Lukes. They were laughing really hard about
something that had happened in school today, and
Tristan was mimicking one of their teachers, which
made Rory almost spit her coffee out. They got along
great together, and they both knew it, and so did
someone else. 

Rory and Tristan didn’t know it but Dean had been
watching them from the store. He knew that things
between him and Rory were changing, and he knew that
he probably cared more about her than she did about
him. And he knew that he had to do the right thing and
give her up, so that she could be happy, she had much
more in common with Tristan than she did with him,
although he hated to admit it. He knew that  the best
thing for her right now would be for him to let her
go, so she can figure out what she really needs. 

He decided that after Tristan left he would talk to
Rory.

About 8:00 Tristan left, and Dean saw his car leave
from Rory's driveway, he wasn’t stalking her or
anything like that, it’s just that he needed to talk
to her, alone, right away. 

Ding Dong- 

Rory got up from her place on the couch and answered
the door.
“Hey Dean!” she said
“hey Rory, um.. do you think that we could take a
walk, there something i need to tell you.” He asked
her

Rory knew something was up, so she yelled to her mom
that she was going out and grabbed her jacket. They
had waled pretty far without saying anything.

“Dean, what did you need to tell me?’

Dean explained everything to her, how he thought that
she needed time to figure things out, and that maybe
she did like Tristan, and maybe she needed Tristan
right now. 
Rory didn’t know what to say “are you breaking up with
me?” she asked
“Rory, this isn’t goodbye, it’s i love you. I care for
you so much that i need to let you go, it’s the best
thing. Maybe you won’t understand what i mean now, but
 maybe one day you’ll be able to forgive me, I'm
sorry.”
With that Dean walked away, he needed to walk away
before he changed his mid and wanted to keep Rory to
himself. A tear streamed down his face as he kept
telling himself ‘this is for  the best’
