MARY'S SONG
"Tristan and Rory Dugrey would like to share their first dance as a married couple." The DJ announced. Tristan and Rory took their place on the floor and wrapped their arms around each other as the song played and the flashbacks began.

Seven year old Rory Gilmore, or Mary as she was affectionately called by her best friend, nine year old Tristan Dugrey, was chatting with her best friends Paris and Lane about how cute the boys at Stars Hollow Elementary were when one of the very boys they were discussing strolled by.
"Hello girls," Tristan greeted them,"Mary" he added with a wink.
Rory smiled and blushed, "Hey Trissy."
"I told you not to call me that."
"Well I want you to call me by my name but you don't do that TRISSY" Rory shot back with her tongue sticking out. Paris and Lane giggled and pulled Rory away so they could go back to talking about their new found interest in boys.
Unbeknownst to the young children, Tristan's parents, Carol and Michael, and Rory's mother and step-father, Lorelai and Luke, looked on with smiles.
"Those two will definitely end up together, and they don't even know it," commented Michael Dugrey. Luke nodded in agreement as the two young mothers rolled their eyes, even though they whole-heartedly agreed.
She said, I was seven and you were nine
I looked at you like the stars that shined
In the sky, the pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
Growing up together and falling in love
and our Mamas smiled
And rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my

Thirteen year old Tristan and his best friends from Stars Hollow Middle School, Jess and Logan, sat up in the tree house behind the Gilmore-Danes residence talking about the hottest girls in school, Stephanie and Summer.
"I'm betting that I am the first one to land one of those girls," Tristan said with a knowing smirk.
"I don't think so Dugrey, I bet I can bag both girls before you can get one," Logan replied in a arrogant tone.
All of the sudden they heard a girl yelling from the back porch, "TRISTAN!!!!"
Logan smirked, "you will never get laid with her following you around" as he pointed to eleven year old Rory standing below them in the yard.
"Go away RORY. I told you I can't hang with you. You are only in sixth grade. I am in eighth. I'll beat you up if you don't leave me alone." Tristan shot down at her.
"FINE" Rory yelled as her eyes began to water. She ran back inside to her mother sewing in the living room. "Momma why won't he be my friend anymore?"
"Oh sweetheart, give it time. He is trying to look cool in front of his friends." Lorelai comforted as she pulled Rory into her lap. "How about you call Paris and Lane so they can join us for dinner."
"Ok momma, I love you." Rory wiped her eyes as she walked off in search of the cordless phone.
Take me back to the house in the backyard tree
Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me
You never did, you never did

Thirteen year old Rory sat in a circle at Tristan's fifteenth birthday party. It was everyone's first boy/girl party and they were playing the classic game of Truth and Dare. Paris had just dared Rory to run into the snow without shoes, which she did without thinking twice. When she returned inside she looked at Tristan. "Truth or dare Tristan."
"Dare"
"I dare you to kiss any girl here."
"So I can kiss you?"
"I said any girl didn't I." Just as he crawled over to her to kiss her she giggled and ran off into the kitchen. Tristan sat there with a smile knowing there was no way she would let him kiss her.
Take me back to when our world was one block wide
I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried
Just two kids, you and I
oh my my my my

Tristan was now seventeen, almost eighteen, and senior at Stars Hollow High School and he was at Rory's sixteenth birthday. He had recently realized what a beautiful young lady she had become. He knew he was falling for his childhood best friend, and he prepared a special surprise for her that evening after everyone was to be home.
Lorelai placed the huge mocha chocolate cake in front of Rory with sixteen candles lit. Everyone began singing "Happy Birthday" and Rory was thinking about what to wish for. She caught Tristan's eye, and he winked. She knew exactly what she was going to wish for as she blew out her candles all in one breath.
Later that evening after everyone but Tristan and his parents had left, Tristan dragged Rory outside and up the rarely used tree house. He began his speech he had prepared. "Rory, Mary, I know we've been friends forever, and I have something important to tell you."
Rory looked up into his eyes hoping whatever it was he had to say was good. "Go on Tris."
All of the sudden Tristan couldn't think of what he had prepared so he just jumped the gun, leaned towards her and whispered, "Mary, I love you" before crashing his lips into hers passionately.
After a few minutes Rory pulled back and with a smile whispered, "I love you too….I have for a long time" before returning to their passionate kisses.
From inside the house, the four parents stopped their cleaning to look at the two declaring their love for each other."I told you all," Michael smiled. Lorelai and Carol rolled their eyes and smiled at the happy young couple.
Well, I was sixteen when suddenly
I wasn't that little girl you used to see
But your eyes still shined like pretty lights
And our daddies used to joke about the two of us
They never believed we'd really fall in love
And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes
And said oh my my my...

It was the summer between Rory's sophomore and junior year of high school and Tristan's senior year of high school and freshman year of Yale. The two were driving through the back woods outside of the campsite they were spending the week at with Rory's parents. It was two in the morning and they had snuck away from the campsite in order to not wake up Lorelai and Luke with their chatting and laughter. Tristan had decided to take a joy ride through an old beat up trail in his new pick-up he had gotten for graduation. They were driving through empty creek beds and having the time of their life. They both knew the next two years were going to be hard, but deep down they knew it would work out, as long as they had each other.
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up
Two a.m. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me

Tristan had come home from Yale during his sophomore year to visit his girlfriend of two years for her eighteenth birthday. He was so excited to see his Mary, but he was also extremely nervous about his present to her. He wanted to surprise her that Friday, so he waited in his truck outside of the high school while she finished up at the paper. When she walked out of the school and saw him in his truck, he knew something was very very wrong.
"Tristan, what are you doing her." Rory spat at him.
"I came home for your birthday Mary, I wanted to surprise you."
"Are you sure you aren't here to surprise some slut your with?"
Tristan sat there confused as he begged her to let him drive her home so she could inform him about what she was talking about. She got in the car, and they rode in silence back to her house. She jumped out of his truck, slammed the door, and stomped to the porch. Tristan followed her confused.
"Why would you do that to me Tristan?"
"Mary, what are you talking about, baby please tell me." Tristan pleaded.
"I heard Louise tell Madeline about how Summer and you were all over each other at some party last weekend….Tell me why I'm not good enough for you Tristan." Rory began tearing up.
"Rory, Mary, baby I didn't do anything wrong. They're lying. Please believe me"
"I can't Tristan. They were there. They saw it all." Rory just turned around and slammed the front door in his face before running into her room crying, going numb from the pain caused by what she had heard that day.
Take me back to the time we had our very first fight
The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight
TRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTR
Tristan had no idea what to do, so he just set on her front porch all through the night until she walked out with Lorelai the next morning. Before Rory could say anything at all, he jumped up. "Rory please let me explain."
Lorelai told Rory to hear him out and that they would meet up at Luke's.
"You have five minutes." Rory forced out.
"It wasn't me at the party. It was Logan. Him and Summer have been all over each other for like three weeks. Louise must have just seen the blonde hair and decided it was me. You know she likes to cause problems. Please believe me baby. I would NEVER do anything to hurt you. I love you more than anything. I've only even been to one party without since I started Yale, and I spent the whole time in an extra room watching some random game on a TV because I missed you so much."
Rory looked in his deep blues, and knew he was being sincere and honest. "I guess you did wait all night for me. I'm sorry I didn't believe you at first. I should have known better. So, fight over?"
"Fight over. I love you, Mary."
"I love you Trissy." Tristan groaned at the old nickname and lowered his head to meet hers in a sweet kiss.
"Happy birthday, sweetheart," he whispered against her lips.
You stayed outside till the morning light
Oh my my my my

Tristan was in his first year of law school and Rory was in her junior year at Yale. They were spending the weekend in Stars Hollow and Tristan had made big secretive plans. They started the night at the Black, White, and Read Theater chowing down on red vines and popcorn. Tristan then took her to Luke's for some burgers, fries, and pie.
"Hey Mary, you want to go for a walk?"
"Sure Tris." Rory took his hand and followed him out the dinner with a smile on her face. She had never been so happy in her life. They began walking around the town and ended up in the Gilmore-Danes backyard tree house.
"Want to go up, you know like old times?" Tristan asked. Rory nodded and they climbed up the ladder into the old tree house. Tristan took an old blanket from the corner and laid it across the floor for them to sit on. He quickly realized this wouldn't work if she was sitting down so he asked her to stand up. Rory looked confused by complied with his request. He stood up with her only to kneel down in front of her. He took her hands and began, "Mary, you were my best friend my whole life, and right here five years ago you became my girlfriend. I love you more than you can imagine. I want to spend the rest of my life as happy as I am with you right now. Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, will you marry me?"
Rory's smile grew and she screamed, "OH MY GOD YES!!!!!" He slid the beautiful simple diamond ring that had a sapphire on each side of a princess cut diamond on her ring figure, and she knelt down on the floor of the tree house and kissed him passionately.
A few years had gone and come around
We were sitting at our favorite spot in town
And you looked at me, got down on one knee
TRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTRTR
Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle
Our whole town came and our mamas cried
You said I do, and I did too
The couple was still holding each other close as the song came to the end. They knew that their love was forever, and that the remainder of the song would be their future.
"I love you, Mrs. Dugrey" he whispered in her ear.
"I love you too." They shared a sweet kiss.
Take me home where we met so many years before
We'll rock our babies on that very front porch
After all this time, you and I
I'll be eighty-seven, you'll be eighty-nine
I'll still look at you like the stars that shine
In the sky, oh my my my...
