Rory had to get out to meet Tristan, they were supposed to be meeting in 20 minutes just outside of Stars Hollow. She only agreed to meeting with him because he was just so hot, and she knew if she didn't meet him, she would always wonder what it would have been like. Lorelai walked upstairs to go to bed already, right? I mean it was late, 12:20 in the morning; she should be in bed by now. Rory decided to sneak out of her window just to be sure; the window was perfect for sneaking out. Just as she stuck one foot out of the window…

"And just where do you think you're going?" Lorelai asked

Damn it "Oh I, uh just remembered that I need to get something from the store…" Rory answered with shifty eyes.

"And you couldn't use the door?? They are made to be opened you know."

"I knew they forgot to teach us something at Chilton."

"So really kid, where were you planning on going?"

"I really just had to go get a little midnight snack, we have no food"

Rory realized she pulled that lie out of her ass, but it was believable, there was rarely any food in their house, and they had just cleaned out the refrigerator.

"Oh, that doesn't explain why you couldn't use the door"

"I didn't want to wake you, the door creaks so loud, maybe you should flirt with Luke so he'll come fix it!"

"That's so smart! Chilton didn't forget to teach you how to open doors, they are so smart at that school that they knew ours was loud so they didn't teach you how to use it, amazing!"

"Yea, I know mom, now can I get a little midnight snack now, I'll be back before you can sing the entire Oompa Loompa song"

"I guess so, but I'll be singing upstairs"

Finally, Rory left out of the door and began her walk. She was late, and afraid that Tristan would leave if she wasn't there.

What am I thinking, he'll probably be late. Maybe I shouldn't be going in the first place, this is so wrong.

This wasn't the first time she'd had a secret meeting with a guy. The first time was when she was dating Dean. His name was Michael and he started Chilton at the same time Rory did. At least they had that in common, and he was nice to look at. Then Jess came to town and Michael fell out of the picture. All the while, Rory was with Dean. Dean had no idea that Rory had other "male suitors." Rory and Jess began to get more open with their relationship, soon enough Dean caught on. Now Rory was with Jess and Dean was out of the picture. Rory loved spending time with Jess, they had a lot in common and he kissed so well. But then there was Tristan, a new development for Rory. He had been trying to hook up with Rory since she got to Chilton. It was time to give him a chance, plus he was hot, she couldn't help it.

Calm down, you've done this before. You're almost there; slow down, pretend like you're cool.

Rory was so nervous, meeting with Tristan was iffy, she didn't know what to expect. Rory picked the meeting place; it was the old abandoned mill just outside of Stars Hollow. Taylor Doosey kept trying to change town lines just so he could include the old mill in the town. He wanted to renovate it and add it to the tourism guide for Stars Hollow. He could never get it passed Babette and Miss Patty, or any of the other townspeople for that matter.

Only 10 more steps. You can make it, don't trip, don't trip, don't trip, don't trip…

"Hey Mary"

There he was, standing so nonchalantly against the door to the mill.

Oh my god, he's beautiful. Think of a smart comeback, THINK!

He had this effect on her, he made her mind cloudy, then again, Jess did that to her too.

"Call me Mary one more time and I'll leave"

"Ok, ok, I'm kidding, so you called this little meeting here, what did you have in mind?"

Tristan looked at her with those bright blue eyes.

Say something!

"Oh you know, I just uh…um…"

"I'm just kidding, come here Mary, I think I know what you want"

"I told you not to call me that…bye!"

She turned to leave and Tristan grabbed her arm just as she was about to walk out of the door. She looked up right into his eyes.

"You didn't think I would let you leave that easily did you?"

Tristan wrapped his arms around her waist. Rory's head was tilted slightly down, he took one of his hands and tilted her head up so her lips were just inches away from his. She looked into his eyes, and suddenly she felt safe and scared all at the same time. This boy was so beautiful and she knew he wouldn't hurt her, but just how far would he take this. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally leaned in. His lips lightly brushed hers, but it wasn't enough. She pressed harder and deepened the kiss. He took the hint and smoothly slid his tongue into her mouth. Her body tingled all over and suddenly she felt very warm. She loved this feeling. She wrapped her hands in his hair and pulled a little, making Tristan groan just a little, she was taking control.

Suddenly they both heard twigs breaking outside.

"Someone is coming, we have to hide!" Rory said in a quiet panic.

The door began to open; it seemed like an eternity before the door was fully open. The two intruders were now inside the mill and fully visible.

Rory gasped, "Oh my god!!" she exclaimed quietly…very quietly.

"Who is it?" Tristan whispered

"…I just, I can't believe it"

Rory's mouth gaped open at the sight in front of her. She struggled to stay completely silent.

What should I do?
