Double Couple
"So I had a good time at that Bangles concert, Rory."started Paris.
"Even when my mom was screaming at Natalie and Louise?" asked Rory. Paris laughed.
"That was cool, too."
"Any luck with Tristan?" Rory asked Paris, taking a chance. Much to her surprise, Paris didn't stiffen up.
"No, unfortunately." She looked sad. "Hey, how about the 4 of us double date?" she perked up.
"The 4 of us?" asked Rory uncertainly.
"Yeah, you, me, Dean, and Tristan."
"Paris, I don't know. Dean and Tristan don't get along."
"That doesn't matter. Please can we do this? For me? I thought we were almost friends." Paris had the sad
puppy dog look in her eyes.
"Yeah, but do you think its worth a possible fight?" Rory was still skeptical.
"Come on, all we have to do is keep them apart and not tell them the other is there. Or even better, let's
'run into each other' in the mall or something."
"Hmmm.... I don't know, I still don't think this is a good idea."
"Please Rory? I won't ask anything of you for a long time."
"Well, ok. I guess."
"Oh my god! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!" Paris shrieked and ran off.
Had she gone completely mad? Rory thought as she walked down the hallway. This was never going to
work out. Nothing ever did work out, not with Tristan and Dean there. Heck, Rory and Paris didn't even get along
until about 3 weeks ago! They would just have to wait and see.
"I love this song." Rory commented as "I Turn To You" by Mel C came on.
Dean looked at her funny as she began to sway in the music.
"What?" she asked.
"Nothing. Are you nervous or something?"
"NO! I mean, no, why would I be nervous? Do I look nervous to you, because I'm not."
He was still staring.
"Hey look, there's Paris!"
"And Tristan."
"Hey, but at least Paris is here." Rory said, all perky.
'' I thought you hated her."
" What? That was before. This is now."
"Whatever. I just hope Tristan doesn't get in my face."
"Ok."
Rory waved to them.
"Are you insane?" Dean whispered in her ear.
"What do you mean? They can eat with us." Rory gestured to the clean tables in Pizza Hut. Rory and Paris had
decided on Pizza Hut. Not low class, or too stuffy for Dean either. Just perfect.
"But-"
"Dean, be nice."
Tristan and Paris walked over, acknowledging Rory.
"Well, if it isn't Mr.Bagboy himself." started Tristan.
" And if it isn't my lawyer. I don't think I need one today." retorted Dean.
"Not like you could afford one."
"Not like I need one."
The guys were now face to face.
"Are we ready to order?" Rory broke in.
"Hey Rory, mind if I sit next to you?" asked a flirtatious Tristan.
She gave him a bitter, sarcastic smile and said," The booths only seat two."
"Yeah, me and you." he returned.
"I think what MY GIRLFRIEND is trying to say is that she wants to sit next to me, HER BOYFRIEND. And
that you should sit next to Paris, WHO YOU CAME HERE WITH." yelled Dean.
"Doesn't mean I have to sit next to her."
"Well, what if I feel like sitting next to Rory?" asked Dean.
"What if I do too?"
Paris groaned. The evening was off to a bad start. They even argued about what kind of pizza they were getting.
"Anchovies."
"Anchovies are for stuck up people, nerd." Dean said to Tristan.
"Dean!" Rory exclaimed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sure you're used to picking off dead skin off a rat to put on your pizza." Tristan said.
"Tristan!" Paris exclaimed.
"Hey, I only came here because she-" Tristan pointed at Paris, "said you-" he pointed at Rory," would be here. She
didn't say anything about him-" pointing at Dean,"being here. How do you explain that, o honest one?" he asked Paris.
"I just left some things out, I guess." Paris shrugged, to his statement and to the wide what! expresstion that
Rory Gilmore was giving her.
When they were about done with their pizza, Dean made a point of putting his arm around Rory.
She snuggled up to him and sighed.
Tristan made a face and looked at the now forlorn and defeated Paris. Reluctantly, he placed his arm gingerly
around the now happy teenager. She copied Rory.
"Aren't we the cutest couples?" Rory asked Paris.
"The cutest." replied Paris, giggling.
Rory was happy to see Paris so happy, and also relieved that at this moment, at least, Dean and Tristan weren't
making each other( and the girls) miserable.
In fact, they were both running out of snappy comments to make.
"Well, why don't we see a movie now?" suggested Paris.
"And leave this paradise?" asked Rory.
They laughed.
" What movie were we going to see, PARIS?" Tristan asked, emphasizing her name.
" I'm not sure, what do you guys want to see?" Paris asked.
"Yeah, RORY, what would you like to see?" Dean asked Rory.
"Maybe we should talk about it."Rory said matter-of-factly, grabbing her boyfriend's arm and dragging him
outside.
"Look, Dean, people are watching us." Rory said.
"And?"
"I think you should end this little duel with Tristan. I ended mine with Paris and Tristan."
"I don't have your patience!"
"But don't you think you can do this?" Rory pleaded." For me?"
"Ah fine."
"Thank you."Rory kissed him,
"Aw, why do you have to be so darn cute?" Dean complained as Rory smiled.
Inside Pizza Hut, Paris and Tristan were having a similar conversation.
"Please stop, Tristan, you don't know how embarassing this is to me and Rory."
"Stop doing what? This is how I normally act. You want me to change?"
"Yes, please."
"Why should I?"
"Because that is what Rory is talking to Dean about right now. I want you to stop too if Dean is acting better."
"Ok."
"You understand."
"Uh-huh. Get over it." Tristan said.
"What?"
"The movie. I want to see Get Over It."
"Oh, sure." Paris said, relieved.
"Gee it is sure is dark in here." Dean said to Rory.
"That's because the movie started already and people are staring at us." She answered sweetly.
"Oh."
The "couples" had chosen to sit in different rows, for different purposes, but still kept close together.
Rory got up and Paris followed.
"Let's leave them alone for a while." Paris whispered.
"Yeah, this movie's pretty boring anyway." Rory whispered back.
They retreated to the girl's bathroom and talked. And talked. And talked some more. Talked so much that Dean
started to look for them. With Tristan.
"Where'd our girlfriends go?" asked Dean.
"Girlfriends?" returned Tristan.
"You don't think of Paris as a girlfriend?"
"No. She just has a major crush on me."
"Oh. Can I asked you an honest question?"
"Sure, Dean, shoot away." answered Tristan, hardly believing they were having a civilized conversation.
"Do you like my girlfriend?"
"Yes." was Tristan's answer.
"I can't believe we paid $8.50 cents just so we can hang in a disgusting bathroom and talk." Paris commented.
"At least the guys are bonding."
"I hope." they said together, staring into the mirror and collasping in giggles.
"Where were you guys?" Dean asked, breathless.
The movie had already ended and the boys had gotten a thorough workout, running around the cinema looking
for their dates.
"Ladies' room." Rory replied simply.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid.'' Tristan was now banging his head repeatedly against the wall while Dean was laughing.
"Can you believe it Tristan?" Dean asked,"They were in the bathroom."
Tristan was laughing now."We didn't even think of that."
The hysterical males were now tumbling over in laughter.
Rory shot a "What the hell?" look at Paris and she returned one.
"How about ice cream?" asked Dean.
"Yeah sure." Tristan said. They were both not laughing now. Probably trying to return to their fighting state,
Rory thought.
