_______________________________________

The day of prom finally arrived. Rory was very busy getting ready for the evening. She was in the middle of doing her hair when the phone rang. "Mom, can you get that? I'm doing my hair."

"Honey, it's Jess. Do you want to talk to him?"

"Why would he be calling me now? We haven't talked since the night we broke up. That was over two months ago. What could he possibly want?"

"I'm not a mind reader, so you talk to him and see what he want. He's your ex-boyfriend, not mine."

Rory picked up the phone. "Can I help you?" she asked. "I'm in the middle of getting ready for prom. Tristan will be here in about hour. So whatever it is you have to say make it quick," she added impatiently.

"I just called to see how you were doing, but since it seems that I am just hindering you while you are trying to get ready, I guess I'll just hang up. I called to tell you that I finished my exams early and am joining the Marines. Bye Rory!" with that, Jess hung up the phone. Rory just sat there kinda shocked. Lorelai walked into the room and asked her what that whole conversation was about. Rory replayed all that Jess had said and when she was done she looked like she had lost her best friend.

"Awww Rory, it'll be ok. Jess will be fine. You guys are broken up now anyway. you should be happy that he called to say goodbye."

"I know. It's just that I wish he wasn't leaving on such bad terms. I mean what if something happens to him and we never get back to being good friends again. I would never forgive myself. I should call him back and try to talk to him." Lorelai left Rory's room to give her some privacy while she talked to Jess.

Roroy called Jess back and they talked for over a half hour. Finally Rory glanced up at the clock and said, "Ohmigosh! Tristan's going to be here in 20 minutes and I'm still not ready. Jess I'll call you when I get back. Come over here before you leave so I can give you a proper goodbye ok?" Rory hung up the phone and finished getting ready for the prom. Just as Tristan was pulling up, Rory was putting the finishing touches on her outfit.

Tristan rang the doorbell and Lorelai answered. She invited him to come in. "Rory's almost done. You can watch some tv while you wait. I need to go upstairs so I can get my camera. I'll be right back down."

Rory hadn't heard the doorbell ring and when she came in to the living room to have her mom help her fasten her necklace, she was surprised to see Tristan sitting on her couch watching the television. She smiled at him and said, "You really got dressed up just to come over and watch tv." At this, Tristan glanced up from where he was seating. A look of amazement came over his face. "Ummm.....wow! You look amazing. You are just the most gorgeous girl I have ever seen. What did I do to deserve going out with you? Next to you I look like a toad."

"If that's so, then you are the most handsome toad I have ever seen. Come over here and fasten this necklace for me please."

"Sorry, I can't."

"What? What do you mean you can't?"

"Like I said I can't fasten that necklace on you. Come over here. Let me help you with this one instead." Rory walked over to Tristan and saw that he had a beautiful diamond necklace. "Tristan that is exquisite. I love it so much thank you."

"It's just something to show how much I utterly afore you. Besides, diamonds are a girl's best friend, besides her boyfriend, right?" Rory hugged Tristan around the neck and then turned around so that he could fasten the necklace. After the necklace was fastened Tristan pulled one more box out of his pocket. "Tristan what more could you have for me? The necklace was more than enough."

"Look in the box. You'll see." Rory opened the box and inside of it were a matching earring and bracelet set. "Tristan I mean it, you shouldn't have. That's just too much."

"Well if you don't want them, I could always just return everything."

"No, no, no, it's just that you're going to spoil me. Of course I love them. And I love you so much. You do know that you're the bestest boyfriend in the whole world." Upon finishing her little speech, Rory drew Tristan into a hug and kissed him. This was the scene Lorelai came upon when she came down the stairs with her camera. "Ahem" she coughed a little louder "AHEM". Rory and Tristan turned around looking at her rather sheepishly. "Sorry Mom" "Yeah, Sorry Lorelai"

"That's alright you two crazy, young lovebirds. It's picture time. Tristan give Rory her corsage so we can get this picture thing started." Tristan slipped on the most gorgeous wrist corsage on Rory. It was a red rose one with four perfectly shaped rosebuds. Surrounding the four rosebuds were sprigs of baby's breath. It had a white satin ribbon to tie it with.

After they were all done taking pictures, Rory and Tristan went to his car. He rushed ahead of her and opened up the passenger side door. He waited until she was seated and then shut the door. He went around and climbed in beside her. They drove the half hour to Hartford in companionable silence. Every once in awhile they would comment to each other but they maily just listened to music as he held her hand.
