Disclaimer: I own nothing pertaining to The Gilmore Girls show.

(I do however own a crush on Jess and Tristan!" Hehehehehehe!)

I own nothing pertaining to The Mr. Ed show.

I own nothing pertaining to the Pony Express.

AN/ Rory is currently single. And Tristan never went to Military school.

"Are you going to be able to work at the Inn on Saturday, or does Paris have you working on the Franklin?" Lorelai asked walking into the kitchen on Thursday morning.

"No. I'm free. Paris has a date so she canceled the meeting again." Rory replied digging into her cereal.

"Okay. Cause I need help with this huge surprise bash at the Inn for someone or other." She sighed.

"Sure." Rory called walking into her bedroom.

"Good." Lorelai nodded. "Speaking of the Inn, I have to get to work."

"Okay. I have to get to the bus stop! I'll see you tonight!" Rory said heading toward, pulling on her shoes.

"Hi Michel!" Lorelai squealed walking up to Michel a little while later.

She had just got to work.

Michel rolled his eyes. "Hi is for horses!" he stated.

"Yeah. Maybe if you're Mr. Ed." Lorelai laughed.

"I don't understand half of what you say." He said.

"The saying is 'Hey is for horses." Lorelai replied.

"That is silly! Horses also eat grass and oats." Michel answered.

"Yeah. But Mr. Ed ate hay." Lorelai said.

"I am not having this conversation." Michel said walking away.

Lorelai laughed, and walked into the kitchen where Sookie was making a cake for the surprise party.

"That is such a beautiful cake, Sookie!" Lorelai exclaimed.

It was a cake in the shape of a carousel complete with iced ponies.

On the side of the cake's pink iced roof it said Pony Express.

"Well, the parents of the girl who the party is for is turning eight, and loves ponies and carousels. So, I made this pink carousel cake with white icing trim and pastel ponies with pastel manes and tails!" Sookie swept out a dramatic hand, and knocked over the entire creation!

"Sookie!" Lorelai cried.

"It's okay! It's all right! That was just a practice model! The party isn't till Saturday." Sookie reassured her.

 "Oh! Okay." Lorelai breathed a sigh of relief.

Saturday:

"Rory should be here soon." Lorelai told Sookie, who was working on the carousel cake again.

This time she wrote Happy Birthday Rose in white icing on the top of the roof of the carousel. (Rose was the girl's name.)

Just then Rory walked in.

Her nose was red from the cold, and she on two scarves. "Burr! It's cold!" she exclaimed walking over to the stove that was radiating heat. "Sookie that's a gorgeous cake!"

"Thanks Popcorn!" (Anyone remember that?) Sookie beamed at Rory's declaration.

"It's so pretty no one will want to touch it, and mess it up!" Rory said.

"Oh, yes they will! It's strawberry flavored!" Sookie explained.

Lorelai eyed the cake. "Strawberry? Are the party planners included in the eating of the cake?" she asked.

"Lorelai!" Sookie grinned.

"So, what are the peoples names?" Rory asked.

Lorelai shook her head. "I don't know. Sookie, do you?"

"Oh! Yeah. Meredith and Tom Dugrey. They have two kids. I know the girls name is Rose, but I don't remember what the son's name is." Sookie stated.

Rory gulped. "Did you say, Dugrey?"

"Yes." Sookie nodded.

Rory peered out the swinging kitchen doors.

There standing in the lobby was…"Tristan." Rory breathed.
