A/N: Sorry it's so short! Work's been really crazy today... This is pretty much just a filler chapter. Don't worry, this isn't all Trory fluff! ; )
I recently started a Gilmore Girls FanForums if you're interested, here's the link: pretty excited about it, it just got pulled up and running, so go check it out
The next morning Loreali came bouncing in Rory's bedroom around 6:15 A.M. Rory groaned and pulled the pillow over her head. "Mom, no, stop." She groaned into the mattress. "I don't have to be up for another hour." She heard Loreali giggle and she instantly knew she needed to get up. "Look outside." Rory got up and did as she said. And there, standing in her driveway leaned up against his Porsche was none other than her Bible Boy. Whoa, her Bible Boy? Where had that come from? She shook her head and slid her coat on and started outside. "Who's that?" Rory didn't look at her mother as she answered. "Bible Boy." She heard her mother squeal as she closed the door, she was definitely not prepared for him to be so close to her again. He offered her a half smile. "Hi." His voice was no higher than a whisper, like if he talked any louder he'd scare her away. "Hi." Her voice matched his. "I, uh… I'm not sure what I'm doing here actually, before you ask me. I just… I wanted to see you." Rory felt herself blushing. "Aren't you going to be at school today?" He hung his head a little and then chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess. I just… I wanted to apologize for yesterday. I…" He sighed. She smiled lazily at him. "It's alight, Tristan." He met her eyes and what he saw took his breath away. When his brain started functioning again, he moved around the side of the car and opened his door. He caught the look of disappointment on Rory's face and smiled at her. He leaned it and pulled the cup of coffee out of the heated cup holder. He held it out for her to take. "Peace offering." She laughed a little and nodded. When she took it, their hands brushed and the electricity the crackled in the air was undeniable. He smiled at her. "Need a ride to school?" She looked unsure for a moment and then nodded. "Come on in." He followed her up the stairs and into her house. There was a woman who looked like Rory, only older, sitting on the couch. He tipped his head at her. "Hello Loreali." The woman's head snapped up and he thought he'd made the wrong move, until she smiled. "Very smart." He chuckled. "Thank you." She nodded and motioned for him to sit down next to her. "She hasn't found it yet." He eyed Loreali warily. "What?" Loreali laughed. "You aren't clueless Bible Boy." Ah, she was talking about the delivery. "I kind of figured she hadn't." He said and rubbed the back of his neck. "It's on the kitchen table." He nodded again and then sighed. "Is it okay for me to give Rory a ride to school." Loreali grinned at him. "Only if you take her to Luke's for breakfast with me." He smiled back at her, and laughed at Rory's crazy mom. "Of course. Anything for a Gilmore Girl." He said, making Loreali laugh again.
