The Stars and the Moon

Disclaimer: I own nothing which is actually quite sad.

History: Ok everything that happened in season one basically happened except Dean didn't tell Rory he loved her. This story picks up on the day after the three month anniversary date. Rory has been realizing Tristan more and more which will lead this story to be a MAJOR Trory because I am addicted. Oh and Rory will be a little slight bit OOC because well you'll see and she'll be able to play the piano and sing so yeah. Happy reading and reviews are fanflippingtabulous if you ask me. Toodles!

As Rory was lying on her bed the morning after her date with Dean she couldn't help but feel as if something was off. The spark with Dean was gone, probably to Neverland, never to return again. The only time she ever felt a spark was when she was bickering with Tristan.

'Mmm sweet, funny, sexy… NO! This is Tristan. Bibleboy, E.T., smirky. I can't like him he's the player and besides I have dean. So I don't like him, nope, nope, nope.'

With a frown Rory rolled over and dug through her huge yellow backpack. As she pulled out her history book she saw a piece of paper float to her bed. As she looked closely she realized it was the invitation to Madeline's party. This was just what she needed to get out of her funk.

"Mom!" Rory yelled hopping off her bed.

"Yes, fruit of my loins"

As Rory thrust the paper to Lorelai she said "Look."

"It's an invitation to a party. But this can't be because little Rory wouldn't go to a party even though mommy pushes her. Mommy gave up." Lorelai looked confused her daughter was showing her a Chilton party invitation. Twilight Zone anyone?

"Yes mommy and I decided to take your advice and go to a Chilton party. If I'm going to attend the same school as them for the next two and a half years I should be social. I do want friends." Rory felt like she was talking to a two year old but she wouldn't have it any other way. Lorelai grudgingly said yes.

"But I want Dean to go with you. I'd feel better if you had a friendly face around." Rory fought the urge to roll her eyes but agreed to bring Dean with her. Safe, dependable, boring Dean but she couldn't break up with him yet it would break his heart.

'But being with him is breaking mine. I want to be free to be with Tristan… WOAH! Where the hell did that come from? Well he is hot. But he's Tristan.' Both sides of Rory's mind came to a draw because there was no arguing with her "evil" thoughts. He could be sweet and nice, he jut had to drop those damned shields of his and show it.

"Yeah maybe when hell freezes over," Rory mumbled.

As Rory trudged back to her room she had a feeling that this night would be a weird one. Her thoughts were not like her and she knew it. She started to realize that maybe the lack of spark with Dean was making her realize another spark.

'Bah. Sparks suck anyway.' She thought. Rory knew she was lying to herself but decided to ignore it and do what she did best. Read.
