I don't own Gilmore girls.

Rory was frantically flinging clothes around her room. She couldn't decide what to wear. Heck she couldn't even figure out what this was, was it a date, was it two friends catching up what? She flung her hands up in clothing despair as she turned around in a circle to see the piles of clothing strewn around her room. Originally she was going to wear a blue sheath dress but she couldn't find the shoes that went with it. Then her black skirt looked to formal and her green blouse looked to casual and she was about ready to scream. She finally grabbed her phone and hit one.

"Hello Gilmore house of crazy how may I help you?" Lorelai answered.

"Fashion crisis major fashion crisis I can't figure out what to wear." Rory was now near panic mode.

"Rory where are you going that you need mommy's far superior fashion advice." Lorelai teased. "And why didn't you tell mommy long before this."

Rory sighed and sank to her bed among all of her clothes. "I'm going to have dinner with Tristan Dugray."

"Do I know a Tristan Dugray?" Lorelai asked.

Rory snorted. "You called him Bible boy."

"Ah the boy that called you Mary and forced you to kiss Paris in Romeo and Juliet. But oh my dear daughter how are you having dinner with him wasn't he sent off to military school."

"Yes." Rory rolled her eyes. "When he was sixteen jeez mom really you think he's still there."

"Well I'm sorry I don't keep up on your old crushes."

"No." Rory sighed. "I'm sorry he's in Harvard Med and we ran into each other the other day so that's how we reconnected."

"Oh is he the reason you didn't have any coffee this morning?"

"Yes but he redeemed himself I ran into him at the coffee shop and he gave me his."

"Good boy." Lorelai said.

"So anyway back to my problem I don't know what to wear."

"Hmm." Lorelai tried to picture her daughter's closet. "What about your sliver peep toe shoes with that green cotton dress. It's casual but not too casual."

"Yes, Yes perfect." I'll talk to you later mom." Rory tossed her phone to the bed as she grabbed the dress and shoes.

Lorelai looked down at her now silent phone. "What just happened." She mumbled. She hadn't seen Rory this frazzled over a boy since Jess. Never even Logan could Frazzle her that much. She shook her head and head out of the head. It was time for a burger and maybe some Luke time.

"Hey what are you doing here?" Luke asked looking up as the bell above the door dinged.

"Oh I see how it is." Lorelai teased sitting down at the counter. "I was craving a burger so feed me." She playfully demanded. He rolled his eyes but smiled at her as he put her order in.

Rory had just zipped up the dress and slipped her shoes on French twisted her hair and was grabbing her purse when a knock came on her door. She opened and playfully scowled.

"You're early." She mock glared.

"I'm sorry." Tristan held his hands up.

"As long as it doesn't happen again." She said walking out of the door and shutting it firmly behind her.

"I'll make sure it doesn't he promised as they took the elevator down and walked out and into his car.

"So Where are we going?" Rory asked.

" A little place I came across awhile ago." He said not giving her anymore clues and he drove he pulled into a parking lot and shut off the engine as he got out of the car and motioned for Rory to wait for him he opened her door and she slide out looking at the place in front of them.

"I feel very over dressed for this place." Rory said as she walked through the door and smiled. It was like a Luke's only different but it still had that diner small town feeling even in the middle of sprawling Boston.

"You look fine Mary." Tristan smirked as they stood on the tiles.

"Just seat yourself." A waitress waved at them. "I'll be with you in a moment." Rory nodded as she walked towards a table and sat down Tristan on the other side of her.

"So Why here?" Rory asked looking around.

"It reminds me of Luke's I thought you'd enjoy it."

At that Rory felt her heart melt a little. "That's sweet."

"Oh no my bad boy credibility is going out the window."

"I think that went out the window when you didn't kiss me before you were whisked off to North Carolina." Rory laughed as the waitress came up to them.

"What can I get you to drink?"

"Coffee and keep it coming." Rory said.

"Pepsi for me." Tristan said. "So." He said as the waitress walked away. "You in Boston never thought I'd see the day."

"Oh no we talked all about me it's your turn now bible boy."

"What do you want to know."

"Anything, everything." Rory said taking the coffee from the waitress and placing her order.

"Okay well after Military school I went to Princeton and from there decided Med school was my best option."

"So do you have a specialty yet?" Rory asked.

"No not yet." Tristan watched her animated face from across the table.

"Well I'm sure your family is proud of you."

"My grandparents sure but my dad and mom not so much."

Rory cringed. "Why do I have a feeling this is another Mitchum and Shira problem."

Tristan chuckled and shook his head. "Oh no not that bad but they just can't see that I've grown up and matured and maybe they never will but for now I have my grandparents and that's all that matters." Tristan said as he thanked the waitress who put the food down in front of them.

"I can kind of understand that feeling I feel the same when it comes to my father he either ignores me or tries to smother me with attention. He actually lives in Boston and he tries to show up and get me to hand out with my baby sister. I love Gigi I do but at the same time I hate her because she got the father I never had." Rory sighed sipping her coffee.

"I'm sorry." Tristan said lightly touching her hand.

Rory shook her head. "It's fine I'm used to it it's always been that way since I was little but it still stings sometimes. I'll never be the perfect Hayden Heiress that Gigi will be."

Tristan looked at her wide eyed. "Hayden."

"Yeah my dad is Cristopher Hayden only child of Strobe and Francine Hayden." Rory said quietly.

"Did Logan Know?"

"He met my father but if he ever made the connection I don't know. I guess strangely enough it never came up."

"Yeah." Tristan shook his head thinking that Shira would kick herself is he knew she'd let a Hayden slip through her fingers.

Rory was biting her lip as she thought about the fact that Logan had never known her dad's last name or her connection to one of Connecticut's most influential family's. "You know I can't believe I never thought about the fact that he didn't know."

"What's that Mar."

"That Logan didn't know I mean sure I never talk to my grandmother but still I was with Logan for so long and still he knew none of this." Rory shook her head. "No use thinking about it is there." She finished her food and pushed the plate back.

"Are you ready Mar?" Tristan asked paying the bill.

"Yeah." She said standing up and following him back to the car.

"I had a good time." he said looking over at her.

"Yeah me to." Rory smiled.

"Good." He pulled into her parking lot and got up walking her into her building and to her door. She turned and slipped the key into the lock. Turning back she was about to whisper a good by when he leaned down and kissed her. She stood stock still taking in the feel of his lips on hers before she wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss.
