PART: 2 "The Call"
CHARACTERS: Rory, Tristan, Lorelai Luke
Rory thought about this. She took a couple minutes to give it some thought. "Well at 7 you can join me for dinner at the Gilmore House of Horrors located in your very own Hartford," Rory tried to sound like a carnival employee, in reference to the house of Emily Gilmore on a Friday night.
"House of horrors?" Tristan questioned her.
"Well Friday nights I have dinner with my grandparents. Usually Emily and Lorelai go at it. We'll see what happens that is if you want to come," Rory answered him leaving the decision up to him. The bell was about to ring momentarily.
"I'd love to join you Ms. Gilmore," Tristan said agreeing.
"Well call me later and I'll give you directions," Rory instructed. She scribbled a number down quickly on a piece of paper. "This is my mom's cell incase she drags us to Luke's before you call. Bye," and Rory was off to her locker.
"But," Tristan began being drowned out by the last bell accompanied by the cheering. "I already know how to get there," he called after her but she disappeared into the crowd. Tristan dashed out of the classroom, but to no avail, she must have left already.
*~* Gilmore Residence *~*
* About 5pm *
A program on TV that Lorelai and Rory had been watching just ended. Lorelai clicked the power off.
"Why'd you go and do that for?" Rory whined.
"I'm bored. Wanna go get coffee?"
Rory perked up. "Mmm. Coffee," she cooed showing her mother she was in agreement.
"I'm really in need of coffee," Lorelai said to Rory while putting on her shoes.
"No..." Rory protested. "You, dear mother, are in need of your daily flirting session with Luke."
"Uh!" Lorelai's mouth was hanging down. "I doth pretest. He's just a friend," Rory closed their front door and followed the woman on a mission.
"What ever you say mom, what ever you say."
~ Luke's Diner ~
They walked into Luke's and took a seat at the counter. Luke turned around and placed two cups in front of them. No questions asked. No arguments. He just filled both cups with coffee-without saying a word or making Lorelai beg. He left to attend his other customers.
Rory and Lorelai exchanged questioning glances.
"What's wrong with this picture?" Lorelai whimpered, missing her warm up sparring session to get her mind and reflexes in shape for Emily Gilmore.
Luke glanced at Lorelai out of the corner of his eye. He noticed she was concentrating on something and looked confused. A small smile crept across his face. Lorelai noticed it as he made his way back to the counter, which made Lorelai continue her thought process. Luke walked to the back to get plates of food.
"Thinking about Luke?" Rory sang in Lorelai's ear breaking her out of the trance.
"Laugh it up girlie girl, you have to sleep sometime."
Just then Lorelai's cell phone rang. She took it out and about to press the button when Rory grabbed it from her. "It's for me I got it," she said running outside.
~*~ Outside Luke's ~*~
"Rory as I tried to tell you earlier before you dashed out of the room. I was there for your birthday party remember?" Tristan reminded her.
"I remember now, formerly wicked Tristan. Well meet us there around 7," Rory told him. "We * should * be there - should being the keyword. It's like pulling teeth trying to get Lorelai out of the house," Rory warned him.
"It's ok. I'll wait for you guys to show up before I make my entrance," Tristan was smiling at the other end of the phone.
"Ok. I gotta go now but I'll see you tonight," Rory said
"Bye." Click and they both hung up. Rory made her way inside.
"Who was that?" Lorelai asked her.
"Tristan," Rory quickly answered her.
"OOO!"
"What? He's just a friend," she informed Lorelai, using the same statement she told Rory earlier.
"What ever you say daughter, what ever you say," Lorelai in turn mimicked her daughter. "So what did this 'friend' want?" Lorelai questioned her, using her fingers as quotations for friend.
"I invited him for dinner tonight," Rory told her.
"OOO," Lorelai sang out again.
"Stop that. We're just celebrating the end of school. Me like Tristan more than a friend...that will NEVER happen," Rory said trying to end their discussion about Tristan.
'Never say never,' Lorelai thought to herself.
