Part 5~ "Wrong Turn"
"Come on slow poke!" Tristan taunted Rory as he led her down the hall.
"Hey! If I were you I wouldn't be talking!" Rory joked back to him pushing him gently.
"Now you know your gonna get it don't you?" Tristan asked her.
"Oh yea?! Come n get me!" she teased him as she began running to the stairs.
"Yea? And you know the way?" he played back with her.
"Uh huh, I'm excellent with direction," Rory informed him.
"Yup, I can see that," Tristan rolled his eyes when she ran past the hall where the staircase was. *Well there is another one a ways down yet* he thought.
"Here we go," Rory informed Tristan as she turned down the next hall. *Am I going the right way?* she wondered.
"Ok," was Tristan's only response.
"And now we turn here," Rory said proudly as Tristan reached for her hand and once more laced his fingers into hers intertwining them. Once Rory turned into that hall all she saw was yet another hall. "Oh," she said a loud, "guess it was a wrong turn after all?" she laughed but blushed too at the same time. *He must think I'm a complete fool! How could I have been so ignarent, I should've just let him lead the way!*
*Uh oh DuGrey, she is embarrassed. Make it up to her.* he thought. "Rory?" she looked up, "don't worry everyone, and I mean everyone gets lost in here their first couple times." He told her making her feel better. What he told her wasn't a lie either everyone did get lost at first and some people still did.
She laughed. "Thanks Trist," she said in a quiet voice, "thanks."
With that, through the huge window that looked outside she could see that it had started to pour outside. "Whoa, it's raining pretty hard out there," she told Tristan.
"Yea, wow it is," he agreed.
"Hmm, I wonder if the power is going to go out?" Rory thought aloud as a huge clash of thunder sounded through the whole house.
"Ya know your right. It's a very good possibility that the power will go out." Tristan acknowledged. "Do you wanna maybe call your mom and give her a heads up on things maybe?" he asked knowing her mom would want to know what was up.
"Yes Tristan, thanks. My mom will definitely want to know where I am, who I'm with and stuff." She agreed.
"Well we can head down, you can call then we can eat." Tristan settled.
"Okie dokes. But this time you can lead the way…" Rory joked.
"Alright deal," Tristan agreed as Rory this time reached up for his hand and he eagerly accepted it. "Rory?"
"Yea Tristan?" she asked as he craned his neck to kiss her. A million thoughts ran through Rory's head as the kiss grew and both of them eager with their newly found love, (well now newly, newly found. Just know have been heard/agreed by both) *this is so perfect! Why did I waste time on that Dean?! When Tristan here has been so perfect for me? Well now that I have this I'm never going to let it go* Rory concluded in her head.
"Tristan I never want to let you go!" Rory said into his lips but he didn't hear it, for his was too consumed with all his enthusiasm in Rory.
"I never want to let you go," she said again and this time he heard it.
"What is it Rory? I'm never and I mean never going to let you go. No matter who or what gets in our way." Tristan told her speaking directly from the heart. "How could I? You are my everything, you're perfect!"
Rory smiled a genuine smile, "good cause then I would have to kill you for playing with my heart," she told him.
"Never could I do that," Tristan sighed as he titled his head slightly to the left and once again kissed her, much longer this time.
"Ror? I hate to do this, but we have to go eat." He interrupted their kiss.
"Oh yea your right! I totally forgot about the food," she slapped herself on the head slightly as a joke and laughed. "Lead the way knower of all the halls in the house," she said lightly.
"As you wish, soon to be knower of the house," he said to Rory as they walked downstairs to eat their dinner.
Part 6~ "Flashlights"
"Now you make a turn here…and voila! Your at the steps." Tristan explained to Rory.
"So now you're expecting me to know this huh?" Rory asked.
"Yup yup," Tristan told her.
"BOOM!" a huge clash or thunder crashed down that shook the whole house and they looked out of the window and noticed a tremendous lightning bolt hit.
"Whoa that looked kinda close there…" Rory stammered.
"Yeah, it was way too close for comfort," Tristan agreed.
Just then another lightning bolt fell in the distance.
"Ok now this definitely cannot be good, at all," Rory said her voice shaking a little bit as Tristan just nodded his head. Only seconds after Rory had said that did the power go out.
"Shit!" Tristan screamed out, "why the hell did the power need to go out?"
"Oh my God! Tristan where are you?!" Rory screamed absolutely freaked out, as she began swinging her hands around in search of Tristan.
"Rory! I'm right here," he told her finding her hit him as he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her in close. "Don't worry I know where to go," he coaxed her.
"Really? Good to know," Rory teased him back, but Tristan noted a sound of uncertainty and fear in her voice.
"Of course…now you'll know how to find yourself around in the dark." Tristan humored Rory and pulled her into him closer.
"Tristan! Rory dear!" Came the all too familiar voice of Donna coming up the stairs.
"Don! We're right here by the stairs!" Tristan called down to her, as the 2 of them saw light from a flashlight coming up the steps.
"Here have a flashlight you 2." Donna said to them as she handed Tristan a flashlight. "The power will most likely be out all night. I was watching the news and we are in a warning zone here. Some kinda severe thunder storms and flooding or something." She told them, "but I'm sure its nothing to be scared of," she assured them.
"Thanks again Donna," Tristan thanked her.
"Even though I don't really believe those damn crazy weather people, I think you should grab some candles and blankets and maybe head to the guest room in the basement. Cause you know that never gets flooded and that lightning looked close, well you'll be safe," she assured them. "Oh yea grad some food. I made some sandwiches and brought out some bottled water. Now listen to me blab! Go get going I'll see you too after this whole thing blows over." Donna finished.
"Ok Donna, umm see ya later?" Tristan asked. "Later." He said as she turned back down the stairs leaving him and Rory alone once again, but this time with light.
"Ror? Are you ok you haven't said anything yet." Tristan asked his brown furrowing a bit in concern.
"Well, yea. I mean I have you after all, but I really, really hate thunderstorms and no power and stuff. Well let's get all that stuff and head down?" she suggested.
"Ok lets." Tristan agreed.
With that Tristan lead Rory to where the DuGrey's kept all the spare blankets and such. Tristan and Rory began to pull some blankets out and then Tristan led them down the dark hall down to the stairs. The rain was coming down even harder now and since it was late the night outside was pitch black. The only light that gave them the faintest idea of what was going on was the flashlight that Tristan was carrying.
Part 7~ "Summer Lovin?"
As Tristan and Rory kept walking down the hall with only the flashlight guiding their way, Rory finally mumbled, "gee did I ever tell you how much I truly, truly hate thunder storms?"
"Well yes I do believe that you did tell me that," Tristan chuckled.
"Alrighty 'cause I really do," Rory added laughing a little bit too. BOOM! Yet another thunder boomed off only a little ways off and brought Rory into Tristan's big, strong arms. "That one seemed even closer that time…" Rory drifted off, obviously a little ashamed of jumping into his arms.
"Yea but we will be fine. I'm here with you, everything is going to be alright." Tristan assured her.
"Yea, I guess your right." She agreed. "I guess you're right."
"Of course I am and you know it!" he told her being ever so full of himself.
"Eww! Arrogant much?" she asked him laughing inwardly at his obvious sarcasm.
"Nah, not at all. I can take a joke," he told Rory.
"Uh huh…"
"I can!"
"Ok, ok. Now getting off that subject…" Rory decided to change the subject since it was getting nowhere.
"What did you get on the bio test?" Tristan asked Rory.
"What?" she asked puzzled.
"What did you get on the bio test?" he asked her again.
"Oh! I get it! Your teasing me 'cause that's what I asked you when you didn't want to talk about your breaking up with Sum--… um I mean, yea, uh, I got a 93 on that test, it was kinda hard too, what about you? I mean what do you think?" Rory asked Tristan not wanting to get on the subject of his ex-girlfriend. *Rory how much of a dumb ass are you?! Dumb, dumb, dumb! That's all you need to do is spoil an absolute perfect evening, that has been the best of your life, by saying stupid shit all about his ex? Oh my God, eww dumb! Ok get a grip and never mention it again, never. Does he still have feelings for her? I hope not…no he doesn't he is with me now, and it is perfect so I have to stop worrying. I am just going to end up doing or saying something dumb and screw it up. Ok stop!*
"I got a 91, and it wasn't that hard I didn't think," Tristan relayed to her. Rory just nodded her head a little and looked in the other direction not wanting Tristan to see her this way, getting jealous of his ex. "Rory?" she looked down, "Rory what's wrong? You ok?" he asked her getting concerned.
He pulled her into him and she tried to stay calm but the tears were coming down and she couldn't stop them. She cleared her throat and tried to ask him as calmly as she could bear, "Tristan do you still have, uh feelings for Summer?"
"What the hell Rory? Of course not!" he made sure that he was going to convince her.
"You sure?"
"I never really did have feelings for her…I um…" he started not sure whether or not to continue but he looked at Rory her eyes begging him to tell her the rest. "I just wanted to make you jealous and so I went out with her. Sorry." Then being brave he added, "Rory I wanted it to be you and now it is and I am more happy than I have ever been before. This is the best night of my life. "He confessed to her.
"Its ok. I'm glad that she means nothing to you. Actually truthfully I am more than glad you wanted me all this time…" she let it drop at that but truthfully inside she was jumping for joy. *Me, me, me!*
"Good!" Tristan said as he pulled her into yet another long, delicious kiss. "Hey ready to go down and maybe actually eat finally?"
"Sure sounds good," she agreed.
"Kk," he said as he led the way.
Part 8~ "Everything"
When they got into the kitchen they noted the table was set and it had dimly lit candles all around it.
"Wow," Rory breathed in.
"Yea, it is beautiful," Tristan agreed, "how about a little mood setting?" he asked as he turned or the radio and a songs music began to fill their ears.
Find me here

I want to feel you

It took both of them a minute to recollect their thoughts after they heard that song. *That tells the story of us perfectly* they were both thinking.
"Lifehouse is one of my favorite groups," Tristan said breaking into both of their thoughts.
"That was a really great song. I've never heard that song before. I guess I'll have to get the cd and listen to it. I mean if all their songs are that good it must be a really great cd." Rory thought out loud.
"Yea it is a good cd," he agreed, "I have it, you can borrow it sometime if you would like?"
"Thanks! That would be great," she said planning on taking up Tristan on his offer.
"Awesome, lets eat!" he said digging into the plate of spaghetti in front of him.
**Author note~ the song here is by Lifehouse it is called "Everything"(number 12) thus the parts name. The Lifehouse cd is really good too! Please review and tell me what you want to see happen and email me nikkinoochies@aol.com mailto:nikkinoochies@aol.com thanks! ~Nikki
Part 9~"Dial Tone"
"Mmm mmm! This spaghetti is fabulous!" Rory exclaimed and then began to stuff he face with even more.
"Mmm mmm huh?" Tristan laughed, "but yeah I do agree this is actually very good. I wonder where she picked it up from?" Tristan joked.
"Mean!" Rory coaxed back, "you know that she made it! Geez give a little credit to the cook now!" she laughed again as she lightly tossed her dark, hunter green cloth napkin at him.
"Hey! Don't get all feisty now, unless you wanna start a food fight, which I defiantly would discourage seeming as though you know I would win!" Tristan antagonized her.
"Haha no! But there is no way in hell that I would waste this incredible, delectable, delicious.." she went on.
"Ok enough of all the words describing the food. I mean I know that you're like the living thesaurus but come on spare me this once!"
"Now you know that you're going to die!" she told him eyeing him up with an evil glare. Rory then got up and began to charge him as Tristan just grabbed her by the waist and began to tickle her to death. "Ahh! Stop! Ahh no that tickles, stop!" Rory pleaded her eyes tearing up as she began to fall into a laughing fit of giggles.
"There is no way I am gonna stop!" He told her, just then his cell phone rang, which was on the counter in the kitchen, which was right next to the dining room where the two of them where. "Hey my cell still works!" Tristan said excitedly as he left Rory alone for the time being and jogged to the kitchen and answered his cell. "Hello?" He asked.
"Yeah Tristan? Hey its Paris." The caller on the other end of the phone said.
"Umm hey Paris?" he said shrugging his shoulders to Rory who was giving him a *why the hell is Paris calling you look * "What's up?" He asked Paris.
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to come over my place… I mean cause no one is home and I'm kinda lonely, cold, scared…" she went on.
"Well Paris, Rory is over right now and I have to really be with her right now." He told her.
"Why the hell? I mean why is Rory over your house?" Paris asked Tristan getting pissed off that he was with Rory.
"We're going out," he told her out flat.
"Oh I see." She said just as the phone reception crackled. "Well I have to go bye!" she said angrily as she slammed down the phone cursing to herself.
"Bye," Tristan said to the dial tone that echoed in his ear.
"What was that all about?" Rory asked him seeming a little annoyed.
"She wanted me to come over cause she was scared and all this other crap," Tristan told Rory. "Pretty pitiful. Like I would go over to her place and 'protect' her." They both laughed. "I told her you were here, so she knows about us." They both exchanged a smile. "So ya think the whole school will know about us by the time we get back there?"
"Oh definitely!" Rory laughed as she pulled Tristan into another great kiss.
* * *
And when they went back to school the news was already all over the whole school.
THE END

"There is no way I am gonna stop!" He told her, just then his cell phone rang, which was on the counter in the kitchen, which was right next to the dining room where the two of them where. "Hey my cell still works!" Tristan said excitedly as he left Rory alone for the time being and jogged to the kitchen and answered his cell. "Hello?" He asked.
"Yeah Tristan? Hey its Paris." The caller on the other end of the phone said.
"Umm hey Paris?" he said shrugging his shoulders to Rory who was giving him a *why the hell is Paris calling you look * "What's up?" He asked Paris.
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to come over my place… I mean cause no one is home and I'm kinda lonely, cold, scared…" she went on.
"Well Paris, Rory is over right now and I have to really be with her right now." He told her.
"Why the hell? I mean why is Rory over your house?" Paris asked Tristan getting pissed off that he was with Rory.
"We're going out," he told her out flat.
"Oh I see." She said just as the phone reception crackled. "Well I have to go bye!" she said angrily as she slammed down the phone cursing to herself.
"Bye," Tristan said to the dial tone that echoed in his ear.
"What was that all about?" Rory asked him seeming a little annoyed.
"She wanted me to come over cause she was scared and all this other crap," Tristan told Rory. "Pretty pitiful. Like I would go over to her place and 'protect' her." They both laughed. "I told her you were here, so she knows about us." They both exchanged a smile. "So ya think the whole school will know about us by the time we get back there?"
"Oh definitely!" Rory laughed as she pulled Tristan into another great kiss.

And when they went back to school the news was already all over the whole school.
