Part 15: The Fairy Tale Ending
One Year Later.
The phone rang at Rory Gilmore's apartment. "Come on Rory," muttered her boyfriend of one year Tristan DuGrey. It rang until the message machine clicked on. "Hey Paris and Rory are not here right now leave one unless you're Rory's mother then leave five billion, k? Bye!" He smiled at the message but quickly heard the beep and began talking. "Hey Ror, it's me. Come to the Field after practice okay? Thanks, bye.Love you!" He was nervous beyond nervous. Rory and him had been dating for officially a year as of today. It had been the best year of his life. He smiled at the memories of their dates. "Hey Lover Boy!" called out his friend Rudy. "Shut up Macdonald!"
"But someone's here to see you but if you don't want to see her."
"Who is it?"
"Who do you think?"
"Rory's here?"
"Yeah, boy are you smart!" Rolling his eyes Tristan walked onto the field. "Hey," she said grinning at him. She was wearing a blue v-neck top and dark blue low-rise jeans. To Tristan she couldn't look more beautiful. "Hey," he said with an easy smile. She was also wearing that same baseball cap that she had worn when she met up with him the previous year. He knew she hadn't looked in the hat to see what you had written the year before. He kissed her quickly before all the guys began making catcalls. "I'll see you after practice okay?"
"Okay," she agreed. Tristan also noticed almost every single guy on the team was checking her out. She was totally absorbed in her book. Even if she wasn't she wouldn't even notice them she'd only be looking at him. Practice seemed to go on forever for Tristan. Eventually it did end and when it did Rory came back onto the field. Tristan came out feeling tired and worn out. "Hey There," she said leaning in to kiss him. As soon as she had he brightened up. Swallowing hard he cued the spot to go on and all the other lights were out. The music wafted through the stadium. It was their song 'Somewhere over the Rainbow'. "Care to dance?" he offered and she took his hand. Tristan pulled her in close to him. His breath tickled her as her silk like hair brushed his cheek. "Happy Anniversary," he mumbled. As the song ended Tristan kissed her gently while Rory kissed him back. Breathlessly he pulled back, first. "Here," Rory handed him a leather bound book with the title 'A Walk to Remember' inscribed on top in fancy script. It was so Rory that he had to smile. "Don't look inside yet," she warned. "Okay well you have to look under the brim of your hat for your present. She looked up at him as he grabbed her hat. Handing it to her she flipped it over. "Open the book," she urged him and slowly he did. In the hat however.
To my Mary,
Will you marry me?
Love,
Bible Boy
September Third 2009 (A/N: It is now September Fifth 2010 because that's when they officially started dating.September Third 2009 was when he signed her hat)
But inside the book it read.
Bible Boy,
Will you marry me?
Love,
Your Mary
September Fifth 2009 (A/N: it's now September Fifth 2010 remember when Rory bought the book A Walk to Remember- September Fifth 2009)
They both gasped and looked into each other's eyes. Somehow, without a word they mutually agreed what their answers would be. Kneeling down Tristan took her hand and slipped on the ring. Standing back up he whispered. "Thank You Mary for giving me that third chance I didn't deserve. I've loved you since the first day I called you Mary and still do love you," For what seemed like the millionth time (not that they minded) They kissed. "I love you too Bible Boy," she whispered. Hands entwined they continued to stare into each other's eyes wondering about the days to come. Whatever they faced together they'd make it. They had after all survived from high school!
There was only one more thing Rory had to do. As promised to Paris, although a little late she wrote another article about them.
Still Mary
Somehow after all these years Tristan still greets me as Mary. It's no longer that dreaded nickname of high school from the boy I despised. It's a reminder of the past and of how things have changed over nine years. If I was back at Chilton Prep and you told me I'd fall in love with Tristan DuGrey I'd laugh you out of Connecticut not to mention the whole United States of America. But, now Mary is a pet name, the name the man I love calls me just like I call him Bible Boy. I no longer spell out Rory knowing it's a hopeless case. As you can tell Tristan found my previous article 'your not the only one' (Published September Fourth 2009) along with my admitting that I loved him. I went to Fenway Park the next day half to write another article on my boss's behalf and the other half for me. It was one of the best moments of my life, right up there with my wedding, marrying Tristan. "I'm Rory Gilmore," I had said after hitting another 'Home Run'. "I know who you are," he had replied somewhat smugly. "but I don't know if she wants to kiss me as much as I want to kiss her," I ran to him and replied "I think she does want to kiss him just as much as he wants to kiss her if not more," Tristan DuGrey is the sweetest guy ever. He's named a Library after me not to mention my own brand of coffee, what more could a girl ask for? Not much, believe me. Mr. Tristan DuGrey had won the heart of this Gilmore's heart as I've won over his but then again I did nine years ago. I'm happy to say that my prince charming and I have a happily ever after, together.
