Part 3 - Surprise and Discoveries.



Gilmore Mansion
Tuesday
10:34am
========================================================================
Emily reserved the big reception room at the Independence Inn, a room made specifically for big gathering of people, the perfect size room
for what she had planed, she also reserved two rooms on the fourth floor, she talked at long lengths with Michel to arrange the reception hall and the
two rooms in a way that Lorelai wouldn't guess it was her mother. She also talked with the head chef Sookie, she told her a little of what she had
planned, but not a lot. Friday while Lorelai and Rory were here in Hartford for diner, Sookie and her staff would be cooking a storm for the party on
Saturday.

During that day she also talked to Miss Patty and arranged with her to get all of Lorelai's friend in the Church dressed for a Wedding theme party on
Saturday.



Luke's
Tuesday
5:25pm
========================================================================
Lorelai is siting at their usual table drinking her coffee, which took her a good fifteen minutes to get from Luke. She watches the peoples walk by the diner while waiting
for Rory to arrive to join her so they could eat. Rory finally arrives to meet her mother she takes the chair in front of her and sits down facing her mother, she then gives
her a kiss.

"Hey you" Rory says

Lorelai replies "Hey to you too, kiddo"

Luke arrives with another coffee for Rory and Lorelai looks at Luke with big puppy eyes while lifting her almost empty coffee cup to Luke. He looks at her his eyes
roll in his head and he growls while he heads back to his counter with Lorelai's cup. Lorelai looks at Rory with a big smile on her face, Rory laughs out loud.

"How was your day honey"

"A little stressful in the beginning but ok afterwards" Rory replies to her mother.

"What was so stressful at school" her mother asks interested in finding out what would stress her daughter.

"Well, I asked Tristin out"

"YOU WHAT!!! I thought that you hated him" Lorelai looks at her daughter to see what her response will be.

"Well, he's been nicer for a while now, at least since Madeline's party" she says realizing that she said too much.

"What happened at Madeline's party that you forgot to tell me?" looking into Rory's eyes.

"Nothing happened at the party" she replies while looking down at her shoes.

Lorelai notices the she isn't making eye contact with her so she knows something is up, and says. "Rory, come on spill it"

"Ok, ok" *here goes nothing* she thought.

"Well, it was the night that I didn't want to wallow, you remember, I went to the party with Lane, and well, Lane was dancing with Henry a Chilton student on his way
to becoming a Korean doctor and I just found a place to sit down and read my book, when Tristin and is girlfriend Summer came into the room arguing, he found her
kissing some other guy and he was furious, well mad anyway, then she dumps him in front of everybody while making a scene of herself. A little later I was walking
around the mansion trying to find a quiet corner and I came to the piano room, there was only one person in that room and it was Tristin, I said I was sorry but he
looked so down his morale was low so I tried to make him feel better, he replied that he didn't want to talk about it and I changed the subject to Biology or maybe it
was Spanish i don't really remember that part but anyway I found myself siting next to him, I told him I knew how he felt and he didn't believe me, then I told him that
Dean dumped me, he then called him an idiot and I replied that Summer was stupid herself for dumping him. I then asked him if he was going to go back to her and he
said no, never. He then asked the same thing of me and I told him that Dean didn't seem interested, after that we were right next to each other and we were looking
into each others eyes he kept coming closer to me for a kiss and I didn't move back then we brushed our lips together and we kissed and I responded then in the
middle of the kiss, I realized that i would never be kissed by Dean again and I started to cry, I got up and left running, he said he was sorry and I told him if wasn't his
fault then I got Lane and left the party to come and wallow then you got home and found me on the sofa."

"Ok so how was the kiss with Tristin"

without thinking about what her mother asked she responds "Soft, Tender, good He was gentle and nice to be with and I started to see him in a new light, since then we
seem to understand each other better" smiling

"Maybe your more than interested in him" Lorelai says while looking at her daughter.

"I don't know" siting there eating her cheeseburger.






Hartford
Wednesday
6:23pm
========================================================================

Next day at school Rory found that the day stretch to infinity without any release or pleasure, Paris was still on her back, but Tristin was actually civil today which
surprised her he hasn't even called her Mary today, maybe he's not feeling good, on her free period she went to her usual place, where else the library, there she saw
Tristin reading a book, when she got closer he jumped in the air surprised.

"Ho hello Rory" trying to hide the book behind back without being noticed, he should of realized that Rory notices everything about books.

"Could I see your book Tristin" she asks politely.

Tristin not able to say no to her hands her the book. She turns the book over and is really surprised that the book is poetry, she would of never thought that Tristin
read poetry, she hands the book back to him saying "It's a very good book I read it at the beginning of the year"

Tristin felt relieved that she hasn't made fun of him and said to her "Thank you" smiling at her.

"For what" surprised

"For not making fun, that I read poetry"

"Why would I make fun of you, you reading poetry just shows me that there is more to you that calling someone Mary and making them feel like an outsider"

"Sorry about that" looking down at his feet.

"It's ok, it's in the past anyway right?"

"Yes Ma'am, it sure is" smiling at Rory.

"Don't call me Ma'am, and if you value your life don't call my mother Ma'am also."

After school let out, Rory went through the doors and saw her mother waiting for her in the jeep, so she got in the jeep and they left towards Hartford
for the dress fittings.

After a couple of hours getting fitted for a dress Lorelai and Rory were getting pretty hungry, Rory for her part loved the dress that she got it was light sky blue, which
brought out her eyes perfectly, it also was strapless she loved the delicate clothe they used for the dress it was very light almost like wearing nothing. Lorelai for her
part had to get two dresses which made her mad and probably made her mother laugh, thanks god she wasn't here she tough the party dress was deep blue which with
the help of her dark hair brought out her eyes, the second dress was her wedding dress pure white naturally strapless, shoulder less, she had to say that the dress was
extremely gorgeous and she looked radiant in it all of a sudden she though that maybe this will be the only time in my life that I'll wear a wedding dress, so she might as
well enjoy the moment even if it's make believe.

Later that evening Rory and her mother ate out, which in their case was natural since Lorelai wasn't going to start cooking in this century, after that they got home and
went to bed.

Lorelai was laying in bed comfortable but could not sleep she then picked up the phone and calls Luke at his home, on the third ring he answers.

"Hello" still half asleep and growling while answering.

"Hey Luke, it's Lorelai" not knowing what else to say.

As Luke hears Lorelai's voice he wakes up completely and asks "Is something wrong, is it Rory, are you ok" a little worry in his voice.

"No no it's not that, I couldn't sleep and was wondering if you were ok with my mother's idea of a fake marriage on Saturday" some worry in her voice alerted Luke to
be careful with his answer.

"Of course I'm ok with it, I can't wait, it will be a lot of fun and I would be honored and proud of being your husband". He though god I wish it was for real, I can't
believe that I love her so much and don't even have the courage to tell that I do.

"Ok thanks, sorry for bothering you"

At that moment he realizes that Lorelai had is phone number "Wait a minute how did you get my phone number at home?"

"Good night Luke" and she hangs up the phone.

Luke looks at the phone and starts to laugh at Lorelai's resourcefulness. He then goes back to sleep.
