Part 12: A Blast from the Past
"RORY!" yelled Lorelai when she entered her hospital room. "Hey mom, what's up?" Rory asked her innocently as she remembered the article. "This is up!" declared Lorelai pointing to the front page of the paper. At the bottom of the article was a picture of the two of them from Chilton. "Oh.well.that." she stopped when Tristan came bounding into the room. "We're going to Chilton," he told her. "Why?"
"You'll see," he said with a sly grin. "I hate surprises!" she whined while she quickly waved good-bye to her mother. "But you know where I'm taking you so it's not really a surprise," Tristan pointed out. "So? You won't tell me why!" she moaned. Sitting in comfortable silence he drove expertly to Chilton. As they passed the all to familiar landmarks that them to the private school Rory couldn't take it anymore. "Tristan!" she whined again. "Rory, you know where we're going," came his calm reply. "Right but I want to know why,"
"Fine. I'll explain!"
"Yeah!" she squealed. "I've been donating money for the past six years to the library. I even got to name it. Also, my cousin Amy goes to Chilton, she's a senior and I thought we could visit her," They pulled into the Chilton parking lot and the familiarly of the building was slightly overwhelming. "Is Headmaster Charleston still here?" hissed Rory. "I think he retired and there's a new Headmistress here now first year,"
"Tristan!" a female voice called out. "Amy!" he grinned giving his cousin a hug. They looked similar. Tristan's tousled blonde hair matched Amy's except her hair was long and layered. Blue eyes matching they both had that twinkle full of amusement and mischief. The DuGrey smirk was seen on both faces. "What are you doing down in the office?" he questioned her. "Amy DuGrey," called a very familiar looking woman from Tristan and Rory's perspectives. "Tristan? Rory?" they looked at each other unsure of who it was. "It's me Madeline!"
"Madeline!" cried out Tristan in surprise causing Amy to giggle. He shot her a quick glare silencing her right away. "Is Amy in trouble, Mad?" he asked her. "Yes, as a matter of fact she was caught making out with Peter in front of her peers lockers might I add like many times with you Tristan," Madeline finished sweetly. Rory laughed at the comment but quickly realized Peter wasn't there. "Peter's not getting into trouble?" questioned Rory. "Well, he'd have detention but there's a really important football game and he's the starting quarterback,"
"Let Amy off," Rory said firmly. "Fine but if I catch her again," Madeline warned. "You won't," Tristan told her. "Okay. Amy go give a tour to Tristan and Rory,"
"That's okay," Tristan said. "We do know our way around the school,"
"Fine bye cuz," with a wave bye she sauntered off to see her friends. The bell rang and every student streamed past them. They noticed a 'Paris', 'Tristan' and a 'Rory'. They spotted two sophomores one girl and one boy busy sparring. "Hey Mary," he said to her. Between gritted teeth she responded. "My name is Roxy,"
"Whatever Mary," Tristan laughed along with Rory at the scene. The pair glanced up at the two older people. "What are you laughing at?" the boy demanded. "You and her,"
"Why?" asked Roxy. "I called her Mary," Tristan explained pointing at Rory. She grinned at the two kids and they still stood dumbfounded. "Can I be one of those people with the low-cut renaissance dresses?"
"LOUISE!" they both cried out. "What?" the girl asked turning to face them. "Nothing," they said. The next bell rang making the halls become empty once again. They continued their way to the library until they reached an impressive sign. It read 'Rory Gilmore Library'. "You named a library after me?" he nodded. "Thank you," she said to him with a smile then jumped into his arms. "No one's named the place I love the most,"
"How about a Rory Gilmore Coffee Shop?"
"Next Week," came her muffled reply still wrapped in Tristan's arms. Pulling away from him Tristan wanted her to stay in his arms forever. "Come on!" grabbing his hand she dragged him in. On the walls was article after article. She even noticed the one that she had written last night. She prayed Tristan wouldn't go and read the article, she wasn't ready yet. On the remaining wall were countless pictures of Rory reading. "Where did you get all these pictures?" she asked amazed at them. "Your mom helped me out,"
"The only thing this place needs is my signature!" she commented with a smile. "Sign the wall," Tristan suggested handing her a permanent marker. She wrote: 'for those who do believe in miracles, they do happen ~Rory Gilmore. "What's that suppose to mean?"
"You'll see," was the only answer she gave him. As they walked around countless memories resurfaced for each of them. A favorite of Rory's came to mind when they were walking in the courtyard.
Flashback:
It was about five o'clock on a Friday afternoon. Rory's Franklin meeting had just wrapped up and no one was really around. She made her way through the courtyard and Tristan noticed her.
"Hey Mary,"
"It's Rory," she spat at him. "Well.how about Movies. You. Me. Tonight,"
"A date?"
"Yes, Mary,"
"With you?"
"The one and only,"
"no,"
"Why not?"
"I'd really go out with a boy who calls me Mary," she said sarcastically while rolling her eyes. "You know you want me," he leered. "You can't get enough of me Mary,"
"Yeah, that's right DuGrey I can't get enough of you. Please say you want me too!"
"You know it," he replied with a smirk. Rory pushes Tristan effortlessly into the fountain, soaked to his skin. With a laugh Rory continues her way to her bus stop, hoping she hadn't missed it but even if she had, it was worth it.
End Flashback
"Remember when I pushed you in the fountain?" Rory asked him. "No." came a mumble from Tristan. "You do!!" she said gleefully. "Maybe," Rory laughed and they continued to walk around.
