** I'm sorry I haven't posted lately. With school, practice and then the tragedy that happened in NY and DC I've had little time for myself! Anyway, enjoy this chap. I don't know when I'll post the next part. I have to type it up first. Melissa**

*8:00 AM Saturday Morning, Rory's House*
Rory Gilmore opened her eyes and saw her room filled with bright sunshine. Glancing at the clock, the flashing blue numbers, read 8:00 AM. Climbing out of bed Rory walked over to her mirror and looked at her reflection.
' Today's the day Rory.' Remembering what time it was, Rory thought, ' It's still a bit to early to go see Tristan. Let me see, if I take a shower, dress, eat and head out I'll be there around 9:30. Good.'
With that Rory grabbed a towel from the closet and headed into the bathroom. She had to look her best, after all today was the day.
*8:00 AM Saturday Morning, Tristan's House*
Tristan stretched his sore muscles, before climbing out of bed to face the day.
' Another sleepless night. Damn it Rory! Why aren't you making a move? You know forget it. Forget waiting, DuGrey. She's ready, she's been ready. It's only 8:01 AM but after I take a shower, dress and eat I can leave and be there around 9:30.' He thought.
Taking a deep breath, Tristan headed into his bathroom. Stripping out of his boxers, he stepped under the warm spray of the shower.
Rory's House*
' Okay. Now the hard part. Time to call Paris. I hope she doesn't kill me over this. Please don't let her be mad.' Rory thought.
After searching for her phone. Rory hit talk and dialed Paris's private phone line.
" Hello?"
" Paris?"
" Who is this?"
" Rory."
" Why do you sound so scared?"
" I'm afraid you'll hang up on me after I ask for your help on something."
" Does it involve Tristan?"
" How did you know?"
" Rory we go to Chilton. We aren't stupid. Everyone at the dance could tell something was going on. We just can't believe it took you both so long to realize that you liked each other. So of course I'll help."
" You will?"
" Of course. What can I help you with?"
" I need to get to Tristan's house, but I don't know how."
" Okay. Directions I can help with. Let me find them."
" Okay."
" Found them. Okay from Chilton you go left at the first light, then you're going to drive straight for about…"
*Tristan's House*
' It's still only half past eight? Okay, I'll wait for twenty minutes then I can be on my way. Let's get something to eat, I'll need my strength today. Flowers. I have to get flowers. What kind though? Wild flowers, one of every kind, or roses. Hold on DuGrey. She'll love whatever you give her.'
Shoving his feet into his clean KSWISS shoes he ran downstairs to eat some breakfast.
Finally it was nine AM. Rory grabbed her keys, purse and cell before she hurried out to her car. Tristan grabbed his keys and hurried out to his car. As they drove on the road conecting Hartford and Stars Hollow they passed each other and didn't notice.
Rory pulled into Tristan's driveway half an hour later. Getting out of her car she slowly walked up to the door. Halfway there Rory turned around and headed back to her car. Shaking her head she turned around once more and strode up to the door. With a trembling hand, Rory pressed the doorbell and listened to the chimes sounded inside the walls of the Tristan's house.
As Tristan turned onto Rory's street he gave himself a short pep talk. Glancing at the house numbers he finally spotted Rory's house.
' Very homey.' He thought.
Turning into the driveway, he parked his car and jumped out. As he walked to the front door he looked at the surroundings and nodded. It fit Rory perfectly to live here. Pressing the doorbell, he waited for someone to answer the door.
" Hello?"
"Is Rory here?" Tristan asked the lady he knew to be Rory's mom.
" No, she went to see a guy named Tristan a.k.a. Bible boy."
" Bible Boy?"
" Yeah. He is this guy that goes to Chilton with her and called her Mary."
" Mrs. Gilmore?"
" Lorelai. Mrs. Gilmore is my mom."
" I'm Tristan DuGrey, Bible Boy."
" No! You can't be. You're supposed to be in Hartford!"
" I am?"
" What are you doing here?"
" I'm here to see Rory."
" But… But she went to see you."
" She did?"
" Yes. Oh no!"
" What?"
" Fate sucks. She's going to miss you and you're going to miss her. She'll be so upset."
" Mrs… Lorelai does she have her cell phone?"
*Meanwhile…*
" Hello?"
" Hi, is Tristan here?"
" No. He left earlier today. Why?"
" Do you know when he is going to be back?"
" Look hun, I don't mean to be rude but I have a flight leaving in an hour and I need to get moving. I don't know when he'll be back, just call him on his cell if it can't wait. Okay?"
" Um… Okay." Rory said as she turned back to her car.
Rory jumped as the door slammed behind her. Dejected she climbed into her car and slumped in her seat. Minutes passed when suddenly her cell phone rang. Picking up the phone Rory glanced at the number and sighed when she realized it was her mom.
' Why is she calling now?' she thought.
" Hello?"
" Rory?"
" Who is this?"
" Guess."
" Tristan?"
" Good guess."
" What are you doing at my house?"
" I came to see you."
" Why?"
" I want to talk to you."
" Why are you at my house?"
" Where can we meet?" he said.
" I don't know Hartford like you do."
" Do you know where the Starbucks near our school is?"
" Yeah."
" Meet me there in thirty minutes."
" Okay."
" Good." Click.
' I wonder why he wanted to see me?' Rory thought over and over as she drove to Starbucks.
**Rory's House**
" Get going, Bible boy."
" I am. Thanks again. Um… Do you ever think I'll get a new nick-name?"
" Maybe. Depends on what goes on today. How about Satan or Devil or Evil Boy or Egotistical Boy or…"
" Okay, I'm sorry I asked."
" Bye!"
" Bye."
" See you soon."
" Very soon. I hope."
" Get out of my house and go get my kid."
" I am."
Tristan smiled as she got in his car and started to drive back to Hartford and Rory.
