========================================================================
When Lorelai opens her eyes, she feels dread upon her soul, she did not like this date. It was her birthday today, and she was dreading this date for
months now, she closes her eyes trying to go back to her peaceful slumber. At that same moment, Rory enters her mother's room on the first floor and
looks at her mother sleeping in bed and smiles seeing how relaxed and peaceful her mother was at this very moment, because it's always a joy to wake her up in this
fashion.
"Good morning mom" says Rory with a big smile plastered on her face.
Lorelai digs deeper into the sheets and buries herself while moaning. Rory goes to the windows and opens all the drapes completely, by doing this she floods the room
with an excess of light and sunshine you then hear Lorelai growling and complaining about ruining her day. Rory grabs the sheets and pulls hard ripping them away from
her mothers fingers and away from the bed. Lorelai then opens her eyes and looks at her beautiful daughter and says.
"You're Mean" smiling back at her daughter.
"You've got to get up" Rory grabs her mothers arms and pulls her out of bed and pushes her towards the bathroom. "hurry up we've got to get ready
for the party".
While her mother is washing, she goes down the stairs and talks with the people already gathering in the house.
As Tristin turns into the Gilmore's driveway in his SUV. He notices a lot of cars already there so he parks is car away from the others, for easy access and a clear path
to the road in case that he has to leave in a hurry, *you never know when a emergency could arise*. He then heads for the house and rings the doorbell, he hears
someone yelling to come in, so he opens the door to a circus, people are literately running all over the place, as he enters completely. Rory notices him and says hello
and welcome him to the nut house.
She notices that Tristin is sweaty and dirty from his workout at the gym so she tells him to find the bathroom and clean himself up, she has to get her dress ready for the
ceremony. Leaving him alone, he asks the first girl that he sees where the bathroom would be she tells him to go on the next floor maybe there is a bathroom there, he
then leaves and goes up the stairs up to the first floor and locates the bathroom, so he starts the shower and gets in to clean himself.
While Tristin is taking care of himself Rory gets her dress done in record time she then gets herself a cup of coffee and then joins her mother in her room. She sits on
her mothers bed and watches her freaking out over anything and everything, Rory stands up and hands a cup of hot coffee to her mother, who looks at Rory with love
for her daughter, she then drops her coffee and swears to high heaven for wasting such good coffee, Rory rushes to the bathroom to get towels to wipe the coffee
before it ruins the carpet, she yanks the door open and gets the shock of a lifetime, Tristin standing before her dripping wet with not a stitch of clothes on him, as she
stands there watching him with his rippling muscles and hard body standing in front of her, she blushes a deep crimson and apologizes to him while backing up and
closing the door.
Rory hurries to her mother's room "Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! Oh god!" looking panicked, she paces the floor.
"What's wrong Rory, what happened" seeing her daughter panicking.
"I just walk in on Tristin, while he was coming out of the shower, he.. he.. he wasn't wearing anything!"
Lorelai had a glint in her eyes and asked her daughter "So how did he look?"
Rory's mouth fell open from shock at what he mother asked her, she ten replies "I'm not going to tell you, I don't want to think about it" but she can't stop seeing the
image of Tristin in the nude and from the corner of her mouth she smiles.
Lorelai was watching her daughter smile and blush like crazy and then replied "So you do like him after all"
Rory was shocked beyond belief by what her mother just said, to the point of not knowing what to say so she sits on the bed and puts her head on her knees
wondering and starting to think, *Do I like Tristin that way*, at that point she starts to smile.
As this is going on, Tristin gets dressed and leaves the bathroom to wait downstairs.
Lorelai is pacing in her room *Why am I so nervous, just because I'm marring Luke in a fake ceremony, my palms are wet and I'm sweating all over. Looking at
herself in the giant mirror in her room, she has to say that her mother made a fine choice with this dress, it's exquisite, she wondered if her mother would let her keep the
dress for her real marriage if ever she had one.*
Rory looks at her watch and jumps up from the bed, "I have to get ready" she says she then heads for the bathroom hoping they at least left her some hot water, she
starts to get undressed for a quick shower, after taking her clothes off she starts the shower and at that very moment, the door opens and Tristin enters the bathroom,
he notices Rory standing before him stark naked, he tries to say something but trips and falls down in front of her, and Rory starts to scream and grabs a giant towel of
the rack and covers herself with it, Tristin get up tries to appolizises while picking up his clothes that he left on the floor and tries to leave at the same time that Lorelai
blocks the entrance to the bathroom, Tristin doesn't know where to look or what to do.
"So you wanted to get a look at my daughter" Lorelai says to Tristin.
"I'm sorry, but I just came to get the clothes I left on the floor, But I.. I" Tristin turns away from Lorelai blushing madly and unable to control it, so he faces away from
her but then he faces Rory, he looks at her, opens his mouth to say something but nothing comes out of it. Lorelai then grabs his shoulder and pulls him out of the
bathroom and pushes him towards her room.
"Tristin get in my room now"
"Mom... he he saw me" Rory says blushing furiously.
"Rory calm down and take your shower, once your done, come and join us in my room ok" Lorelai then closes the door to the bathroom and heads for her room.
Once Tristin is in her room he sits in the chair and waits for Rory's mother to yell at him and then kill him, he noticed how protective of her, she was. He keeps seeing
the image of Rory in her birthday suit with all of those curves, man he had to clear his mind. He was still in a daze when Lorelai came into the room. She noticed that
he was shy and she knew that it was an accident him seeing her daughter in the buff. She sees how shaken and nervous he is so she decides to have fun as usual.
"So how does Rory look yo you?" she asks directly.
"Incredible, absolutely gorgeous" he then realizes what he was saying and says "I didn't see anything, I opened the door and fell on the floor"
He tries to convince Lorelai that he saw nothing but she doesn't believe him, naturally she does not tell him that, she knows that he saw everything that her daughter had
to offer, Tristin sees all this on her face and he then looks down at his shoes.
"Don't worry about it, I know it was only an accident" Lorelai says making Tristin breath better.
"I just went in to get my dirty cloths that I forgot on the floor, and then I saw her standing there before me..." Tristin just stays there looking forwards no saying anything.
"Earth to Tristin, are you there" smiling down at him.
He looks up and blushes realizing that he spaced out for a minute "Yes.. I..Don't know what to say" he says shyly.
"Wait, when Rory arrives we'll talk" they both sit down and wait for Rory to arrive. Rory enters the room about 10 minutes later drying her air. She sits on the bed
where her mother points to right next to Tristin, there both looking at the floor. *Man both of them are shy and are afraid to look at each other, how cute is that.*
"Ok listen up you two look at me when I talk" both kids look up at Lorelai's face. "Ok now look at each other" they both start to look at each other and blush while
doing this.
"It's ok, Both of you have seen the other naked and it will awkward for a while but both of you will get through this, just don't worry about it ok"
"Now Tristin you go downstairs and finish getting ready, you Rory will help me get ready for this birthday party that mom gracefully prepared for us" smiling at both
kids.
Tristin looks at Rory and says "Sorry about the bathroom thing it was an accident you know" he then turns around and leaves the room, Rory just stares at the bedroom
door where just a moment ago a young man with blonde air left and she keeps thinking how much he changed in the last month since Madeline's party. For the next
hour Rory helps her mother get dressed prepare her hair makes sure the wedding dress is perfectly adjusted for the ceremony, and at this time a knock sounds at her
door, Rory opens the door and in comes Emily with a very big smile on her face when she sees Lorelai dressed in her wedding gown.
"Oh honey you look gorgeous in that dress, one day you'll make a very beautiful bride, once you find a man worthy of you and who has a lot of money and good
standings."
"Mom, I don't care about those things, you know that" she replies to her mother.
Luke's Apartment
Saturday 10:10pm
========================================================================
*God why am I so nervous it's not it's a real wedding, it's a fake wedding with a fake priest, I should of never accepted this thing, god I'm really pathetic, I love her so
much and I can't tell her out of fear of rejection or is it fear of acceptance, what if she said yes for us to go out, then it takes the relationship to a whole new level, she's
driving me crazy with us just being friends, now imagine dating her, oh god I think I would actually like it, now I'm a masochist*
Luke starts to get ready for the mock wedding, he takes a long shower trying not to think about Lorelai, but finds it impossible not to think about her with her beautiful
brown hair going down to just past her shoulders with her perfect figure and deep penetrating blue eyes that could swallow you whole.
"Jesus get a grip or I'll start ripping my hair out, now I'm talking to myself. She's driving me insane"
He doesn't notice but while thinking about her, he smiles all the time.
Gilmore Residence

========================================================================
Back at the loony bin, Lorelai is pacing the floor like a maniac going into caffeine withdrawal from lack of excessive amounts of coffee, she's only had about 4 cups of
coffee this morning and she's going nuts thinking about Luke. *What if he decides not to show, it would be just like him to do this to me and why is it that I can't tell him
how I feel about him*. Rory left the room a couple of minutes ago to get her mom some coffee before she blows up and kills Emily.
Emily feeling happy about this party that she was giving her daughter, decides that maybe she could explain a couple of things to her daughter. "Lorelai do you
remember when you came for Rory's tuition and I made you accept that deal of eating dinner with us every week and to call us once a week"
Lorelai looks at her mother with surprise on her face, she seems nervous about something "Yes mom, what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing... It's just that I wanted to explain something to you, the reason that I made you accept that deal is because, I wanted to be part of your life, and I wanted
you and Rory to be part of ours also, I mean you left us and barely came to see us almost cutting us out of your life completely. I understand that I didn't make life easy
for you but I was trying to raise you like my mother did me and should of realized that is wasn't what you needed, I see what you Rory have together and wish I had
that with you...."
"Mom it's never too late for us to be a family you know, I mean look your giving me a birthday party that I approve of, it's crazy enough to be from my mind so we're
not that bad off, and I get the feeling that when we argue you kind of like it on some level, just like I do I imagine don't you?"
"Yes well I got to go downstairs and make sure that everything is ready for us" she says smiling to her daughter.
"I knew it she says" smiling at Emily.
Rory enters her room at this moment and says.
"Here mom" handing her mom a cup of coffee.
"Thanks honey, you must really love me to bring me coffee, by the way honey you look gorgeous in that dress Tristin eyes must be falling out of is head"
"No mom that was this morning in the bathroom"
"Oh yeah I forgot, are you still uncomfortable around him or is it ok now?" asking her daughter.
"Well we'll get used to it then we'll forget how each other looked" she replies to her mother.
Lorelai looks at her daughter and starts to laugh saying "You'll never forget how he looked and you know it and neither will he." she says.
"yeah I know" I'll be waiting for you downstairs ok mom.
"Ok honey"
Richard Gilmore arrives to Lorelai's house, gets out of the Limousine comes up to Lorelai's door and rings the bell, the door opens and admits him, he enters her house
talks to Rory tells her how beautiful she is in that dress then they wait for Lorelai to come down. Fifteen minutes later Lorelai starts to come down the stairs and Richard
is stunned to see is little girl, in a wedding gown coming down the stairs with such grace and poised that you could think she was royalty, he though that I've never seen
her so beautiful and happy. He offers her his arm and tells her.
"The day you were born the gods must of been looking out for you, because they surely gave you beauty and grace to match to gods." he says.
"Thank you daddy" she says beaming a giant smile to her father.
"You are so beautiful honey, I'm speechless, I'm really glad your mother forced that deal with the tuition the one that forces us to eat and see each other. I'm glad were
part of your life again."
"I was mad when mom forced me to accept that deal but I see that we all needed to be together, Rory needed to see you two and I also need you both, I've never
realized how much I missed both of you, and I know mom can drive me up the wall, but I think we both love to push all of our button."
"I've missed so much when you took off you could not believe how much, and if I couldn't of done this once in my life it would of killed me, you are my daughter, and I
get to give you away, this is my job, it's my right as a father and I can't wait for the real thing.
"Me too daddy" Lorelai beams him a big smile.
"It's time" Richard says "Let's go" Richard opens the door for Lorelai, they both exit the house and head towards the Limousine, Emily joins them with the vale and
flowers for the ceremony.
Rory comes out of her room and Tristin sees her for the first time dressed in her dress and his mouth falls open, *Oh my god she is so beautiful*.
"Rory that dress is so beautiful on you, you look amazing." he says.
Rory blushes and replies "Why thank you kind gentleman for you fine compliments" smiling at his face. "And might I say that you look handsome in your suit also".
"My thank you miss, may I accompany you to the wedding" offering his arm in return. She gently puts her hand on his arm and they both feel electricity coursing down
their limbs as they leave the house and head for his car. At the car he opens the door for Rory and helps her with the dress so it won't get dirty, he then gently shuts the
door and gets in on the driver's side he looks at her and says.
"Shall we?"
"Yes kind sir, after you" she says laughing at Tristin.
He starts the car and heads for the church.
