Recap: (a/n. wording a bit different)

Rory storms up to Tristan after having a sparring match with Paris.

R: Why would you tell Paris that I set up that date?

T: Its not that big of a deal Rory

R: Yes it is, we just started to get along and now she hates me. And why aren't you going out with her again, was the date that bad?

Tristan was starting to get tired of this game he had to play with her.

T: No Rory, the date was fine, its just that there was no real connection, and anyway, I have stronger feelings for someone else. You

R: Oh, so you still have feelings for Summer?

T: Right… Summer

End Recap

About three weeks after Tristan and Rory's conversation, Rory kept getting jealous every time she remembered her conversation with Tristan. Rory, being herself, just told herself if was nothing and she was just deprived of coffee.

The next morning Lorelai came bounding into Rory's room with a spring in her step "RORY RORY RORY! WAKE UP!!! It's a BEAUTIFUL day out and you know what would make this day better?"

"what time is it?" Rory groaned as she looked at her clock

Lorelai completely ignoring Rory continued with here speech, "COFFEE. Come on, up up up, off to Luke's we go!!"

Groaning, Rory lifted herself up from the bed to get a better look at the clock, "MOOOM, you only want to go to Luke's so you can flirt with him. Although it is entertaining, its only 8:00 in the morning!! What are you doing up this early on a Saturday?"

Lorelai looked down at her shoes and answered, "I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep"

Rory held back a grin as she realized why her why her mom couldn't go back to bed, "Mom, did you have that nightmare again with the Aflac goose stealing all your coffee?"

"That goose is a MONSTER with its stupid scratchy voice, and why does he want my coffee, why doesn't he steal someone else's?"

Rory laughed at her mother while she headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day.

After stopping at Luke's for the nectar of the god's, Rory headed over to Lane's while Lorelai went to the Inn to check up on things.

After explaining to Lane what happened three weeks ago, Rory threw herself on her best friend's bed and let out a long sigh.

"Lane I don't know what is wrong with me, its just that every time I think back to that conversation with Tristan, I get this weird feeling"

"Well, do you have any feelings towards Tristan?"

"What? No of course not, why would you say that?" Rory answered a little too quickly.

Lane inwardly smirked knowing all to well that in due time, Rory would realize that she in fact does like Tristan. She of course knew all about how in love with Rory Tristan was, due to the fact that Tristan and Henry were best friends and Henry told Lane everything.

After talking some more about Tristan and Henry, Rory had to go to Luke's for dinner with her mom. After Rory left, Lane was on the phone with Henry.

"Henry, we have to do something, Rory is slowly starting to realize that she has some sort of feelings for Tristan, she just needs a little push."

"I completely agree, we have to get them together, I am sick of hearing 'Rory this and Rory that' from Tristan" Henry said with a laugh.

"Oh my gosh, I got a great idea, the Hartford fair is this weekend, you should invite Tristan, and I'll invite Rory" Lane said with a squeal.

"Lane that is a great idea. We'll meet you guys there at 6:00?"

"Perfect! I am a genius!!" Lane said with a devilish smirk.

After figuring out a few more details, Lane and Henry each called their friends and had them agree about going to the carnival that weekend.

A/N.. Love it, Hate it? I know some people will think that I am pushing the whole T/R romance thing, but they are not going to jump down the love boat. They will be friends first, Rory still has to figure out on her own how much she like him. And I also know that Tristan will never come back, but I love this pairing.
