OK, this is (yet another) new story. Rory makes a bad decision, one that
could affect her entire life. What is the decision, and what will come of
it? Please R/R!
********************************************************************
"Mary!" Tristan Dugray jogged over to Rory Gilmore's locker one Tuesday afternoon in early December.
"What do you want, Tristan?" Rory asked coldly. She was having a bad day, and she was not up to dealing with Tristan right then.
Tristan looked hurt. "I merely wanted to borrow your biology notes from yesterday."
"Fine" Rory sighed, handing them to Tristan. "Don't forget them tomorrow."
"Thanks Mary!" with that, Tristan walked away.
**********************************************************
"Hey, Rory."
"Hey, Lane" Rory greeted her best friend as she got off the bus, later that day.
"Listen; can you do me a huge favor?" Lane asked timidly, knowing Rory would not like her request.
"Depends what it is."
"Well, Henry just called, and he kind of invited me to this party at Louise Grant's house on Saturday night. I was kind of wondering-"
"I'm not going to the party with you" Rory cut Lane off.
"Please, Rory! I need you as an excuse for my mother. I can say I'm spending the night at your house. Besides, I'm sure at least one of your friends from Chilton will be there-"
"I don't HAVE any friends at Chilton."
"The Grants are rumored to have a fantastic library" Lane said meaningfully. "Lots of first editions and such."
Rory sighed, knowing Lane had her. "Fine, I'll go."
Lane smiled. "Thanks, Rory!" she called, as she started to walk away."
Rory, however, was not happy. "I hate it when she does that" she grumbled to herself.
~The Next Day~
Rory shuffled through her Bio binder at the end of the day, trying to find her notes. "Shoot" she thought to herself. "I lent them to Tristan."
Sighing, Rory walked off to find Tristan.
"Tristan? Oh, he already left." Henry Cho said, in answer to Rory's inquiry.
"Thanks, Henry" Rory said dejectedly.
"Is anything wrong?"
"Only the fact that Tristan borrowed some Bio notes, and I need them to study for the test tomorrow."
"Listen" Henry said kindly. "Tristan lives right down the street from me, and I was going to go into Stars Hollow later, anyway, to visit Lane. Would you like me to take you to his house? I can pick you up around 4 and take you home."
"That would be fantastic, Henry" Rory answered gratefully. She followed Henry out to his BMW and got in. As she did so, she noticed a few stray snowflakes drift down to the ground. She smiled, wondering if it was snowing in Stars Hollow, and wondering if her mother knew.
************************************************************************
A few minutes later, Henry pulled up to a large, beautiful mansion. It looked cold and uninviting.
"Thanks, Henry."
"No problem. See you in about an hour."
"OK." Rory sighed and walked up to the front door.
A uniformed butler, complete with English accent, opened the door.
"Is Tristan home?"
"Master Tristan is-"
"Is that for me?" Rory heard Tristan walk up to the butler.
"A young girl is here to see you, Master Tristan."
"I'll see her. Thanks, James." Tristan walked up to the front door.
"Rory!" he said in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"So you DO know my name. I came to get my biology notes."
"Right. Sorry, I kind of forgot to give them to you. Come on in" Tristan said, opening the door wider and stepping aside to let her pass.
Rory tried not to think about how handsome Tristan looked. He had changed out of his Chilton uniform and was now wearing a light blue sweater and khaki pants.
Rory stepped inside the foyer and looked around. The floor was made of marble, with a Waterford chandelier hanging from the high ceiling. Two curved staircases, carpeted in a plush red, led up to the second floor. (In case you don't know the plan, one staircase is on the left, one is on the right, and they each go up to the same landing.)
"You want some coffee?" Tristan offered, knowing Rory's fondness for the drink.
Rory instantly brightened. "Yes, please!" she chirped, following Tristan into the kitchen. Tristan went over to the coffeemaker and poured Rory a cup. Rory took a sip and sighed pleasurably. "What kind of coffee is this?" she asked.
"Jamaican Blue Mountain, from the Coffee Beanery."
"It's delicious."
"I know. Anyway," said Tristan, "we'd better get you your notes."
Rory glanced at her watch. "You're right. Henry's coming to pick me up in like 15 minutes. His girlfriend lives in Stars Hollow, so he's going to drive me home."
"Oh, yeah, Henry's told me about her. Her name's Lane, right?"
"Right. She's my best friend. We've known each other since Kindergarten." Just then, the phone rang.

I know it's a weird place to stop, but it's almost midnight, and I have to be up in about 6 hours for school. Sorry! I will try and have the next chapter done by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.
