Graduation Day

---Pre-Graduation dinner at Che LaRue (Rory, Tristan, Lorelai, Christopher, Emily, Richard, and Tristan's parents)

Emily-Christopher, Lorelai you know Tristan's parents Elaine and Robert correct?

Lorelai- Yes Mother, we know Elaine and Robert

Richard- Rory, Tristan this is a big night for you two, graduating from Chilton only brings you one step closer to Harvard

Tristan- You're right Mr. Gilmore and we're very excited (smiling at Rory)

Christopher- Elaine, how is your brother Scott, I haven't seen him in years

Elaine- Oh he's just fine, he was ver excited when i told him i was having dinner with you and Lorelai tonight

Robert- Rory, you've become like a daughter to us over the past two years, and we just wanted to give you something for graduation

Rory- Mr. and Mrs. DuGrey you didn't have to buy me anything

Elaine- No such nonsense, of course we had to buy something for the girl who makes our son happier than I think I've ever seen him, so this is for you (hands Rory and elegantly wrapped box)

Rory- (opens the box: pearl drop earrings are inside of a Tiffany's box) Thank you so much, I don't really know what to say, they are beautiful

Robert- You are very welcome Rory, we're glad we could get you something you liked

Lorelai- If you'll excuse me I have to run out to the car I forgot something

(Lorelai stands up and walks out side, picking up two boxes from under the seat of the jeep)

Rory- Dad, what did she forget

Christopher- Oh who knows Rory, she would forget her head if it wasn't attached

(Lorelai walks back in)

Lorelai- I heard that Christopher Hayden and you are no better than I am

(produces two wrapped boxes, hands one to Rory and one to Tristan)

I was going to save these for later, but since we already started giving presents I figured why not

Tristan- Is this really for me

Lorelai- Yes Tristan it's for you, who else would it be for? Now open them you two

(Rory and Tristan open the gifts, Rory's is a pearl bracelet and Tristan's is a silver Movado watch)

Rory- WOW Mom, thanks

Lorelai- well they are from me and your father

Christopher- Yeah Tristan I picked out the watch

Tristan- Well thank you both, it's awesome

Rory-Hey Trist I have a present for you too, it's something you told me you wanted a long time ago

Tristan- what is it

(Rory hands him a wrapped box)

Rory- open it and find out

(Tristan opens the box and in it there is a Lighthouse CD, a four page letter, a photo album filled with pictures of them and their friends, and a stuffed puppy dog)

Tristan- I can't believe you remembered, i told you about the stuffed puppy dog i lost and could never find another one in any store two years ago

Rory- well you would have gotten it sooner but it took me two years to find it (laughing), and you can't read the letter or listen to the CD until you're by yourself

Tristan- well i got you a present too, and it's kind of ironic

Rory- why is it ironic

(Tristan hands Rory a box, and laughs to himself)

Tristan- Open it and you'll see why it's funny

--Rory opens the box, inside is another smaller wrapped box, a think envelope with her name on it in his handwriting, and a dozen roses

--- Rory smiles at him and opens the smaller box, inside is a gold ring with a sapphire heart and inside the ring is engraved in Amor Vincint Omina. (Tears start to form in Rory's eyes)

Rory- Trist you are amazing, wow, I love you so much

Tristan- Well that had the desired effect

Emily- Tristan, we forgot your present at the house, but Rory dear this is for you (hands Rory a box)

--Rory opens the box, inside is a three strand pearl necklace

Rory- thank you grandma and grandpa it's gorgeous

----the group leaves the restaurant, so that they aren't late for the ceremony, Rory's parents go in one car, grandparents in another, and Tristan's parents in another. Rory and Tristan go in Tristan's car together

Rory-Tristan you are the best

Tristan-No actually that would be you, you got me my stuffed puppy

Rory- I wanted to give it to you for our two year anniversary but I hadn't found it yet

Tristan-why can't I read the letter till I'm alone?

Rory-because I said so (leaning over and kissing Tristan's cheek as he drives) can you help me put on the necklace and bracelet?

Tristan-yeah sure babe, I can't believe your Mom and dad got me a Movado watch

Rory-why did you doubt them liking you or something?

Tristan- no but it's a Movado, my own parents won't even buy me one

Rory- well the way my mom's looking at this, is that we only graduate from High School once

--Tristan puts the necklace and bracelet on Rory, she puts on the earrings and ring

Tristan- What are we doing after the ceremony

Rory- I thought you were throwing a party at your house

Tristan- Oh Yeah, I am aren't I

Rory- yeah you are genius

--they get to the school and go inside with the rest of their friends

---after the graduation ceremony Rory and Tristan go back to his house, for the party he's throwing

Madeline- (walking in the house) RORY.... TRISTAN...the party can start now I'm here

Paris, Louise, Lane, and Henry- (in unison) SO ARE WE

Tristan- ah damn, no one forgot

Paris- no, no one forgot there are about 100 cars pulling in as we speak

Rory- oh great, never a small party (elbowing Tristan in the stomach)

Lane- what are the two of you talking about

Tristan- well i kinda forgot about the party till Rory reminded me

Henry- wow you really do shut your brain off after the school years over

Tristan- yeah, I'll be right back i wanna go say hi to some people

--Tristan walks away, Henry follows him ... the girls go upstairs to talk in Tristan's room

Louise- Well girls we are all done and graduated what do we do now

Paris- we relax, get ready for Harvard, have fun

Lane- I like the way all of that sounds, especially the having fun part

Rory- Look what I got for graduation...

Madeline- What, What, What

Rory- OK here goes the earrings are from Tristan's parents, the bracelet is from my Mom and dad, the necklace is from my grandparents and the ring is from Tristan

Louise- OHO I like the ring

Rory- wait you haven't seen the best part yet (taking off the ring and handing it to Louise) look inside the ring

Louise- Awwww how sweet, listen guys in side the ring it is engraved, Amor Vincint Omina

Paris- wow why couldn't i have a boyfriend that great

lane- you could if you would give him a chance

---Tristan comes up stairs and walks into his room

Tristan- What are you guys doing in here, trying to hide from the three hundred people in my house

Madeline- Well yeah that was kind of the idea

Rory- Sorry babe

Tristan- Too bad that I'm telling all of you right now, go down stairs, how am i supposed to be a gracious host when my friends aren't even down stairs to help me

Paris- Jeez Tristan, you can't even throw a party with out us...

Lane- Makes you feel loved doesn't it

Tristan- You better get down there before Henry has a heart attack, he thinks you found some other Korean kid and went off with him

Louise- OK, OK we get the point lets go girls

---cut to Rory's house, Lorelai and Christopher are watching a movie

Christopher- Lor, I really miss you when I'm not here

Lorelai- I miss you too Chris, but there's not a whole lot we can do about it, is there

Christopher- Well actually, the company I work for, just offered me a job in Hartford but I wanted to see how things went here before I decided to take it or not

Lorelai- I can't tell you what to do, but I would love it if you were closer, someone to go to my parent's for dinner with once Rory leaves

Christopher- You still have to go to dinner even once Rory leaves?

Lorelai- Yeah cause they said they would help pay for her to go to Harvad, which is good because even with all her scholarships it's still really expensive

Christopher- I still can't believe how well she fits in with those people

Lorelai- oh I don't know, I think if we ever gave them a chance we could have fit in too

Christopher- You're just saying that because you are friends with Chilton Parents

Lorelai- OK OK you got me

----cut to Tristan's house, next morning

Rory- Tristan, are you awake (kissing him)

Tristan- well I'm awake now, what's wrong??

Rory- Nothing, except the fact that it is 10 in the morning and there is still no coffee running through me

Tristan- You know how to make coffee

Rory- yeah but I was too comfy laying here in your arms

Tristan- Well then lets continue laying here and go back to sleep (slowly kissing Rory)

--Rory and Tristan continue to kiss till about twenty minutes later there is a knock on the door

Henry- Tristan you in there

Lane- C'mon Tristan we know you are in there

-Tristan crawls out of the bed, Rory rolls over and pulls the comforter over her

Tristan- (opening the door) what do the two of you want?

Lane- where's Rory (looking at the bed), oh there's

Rory- Hi Lane, hi Henry why are you two up

Henry- well sleepy heads we had to get up as soon as people who slept here started waking up so we could make sure everyone got the right set of keys

Tristan- oh shit I forgot I took people's keys when they got here last night

Rory- well Mr. KeyTaker, that could because you were a little drunk yourself

Lane- ROr, I wouldn't talk, you could barely stand up straight by the time you came up here

Henry- OK so anyway, we found everyone else's keys, but I can't find mine, Mike can't find his, Louise can't find hers, and Adam can't find his

Tristan- I don't remember where i put them, i know they are with my keys but i can't remember where

Lane- well you guys go look for them and us girls are going to get some coffee and get changed

--- Tristan, Henry, Mike, Adam, and Robby go looking for the car keys, the girls get showered and changed

--front porch of Tristan's house about two hours later, the guys come walking out holding the keys over their head in triumph

Rory- OK good, now you boys go get changed so you can take us home,

Tristan- Who died and made you Queen?

Louise- Well I believe that happened when the senior class voter her Prom Queen so you better start listening or you won't be getting any

Adam- Louise, like that's a real threat

Rory- Actually it is, cause if we're not at my house in an hour my parents are gonna kill me and then he definitely won't be getting any

Robby- OK, OK we're going, come on guys before they get really vicious

----Rory's house about an hour later

Rory- Mom, Dad were are you

Christopher- We're in the kitchen

Tristan- Please tell me there's coffee (as they walk in the kitchen)

Lorelai- What would this house be without coffee?

Rory- point taken, ah Tris we gotta drive up to Cambridge tomorrow to do our class schedules and all that college stuff

Christopher- Well doesn't that sound like fun (rolling his eyes)

-- the group drinks their coffee and Tristan and Rory leave to go to a pool party at Madeline's

TBC

Tune in to see what happens at Harvard, and if this new relationship between Lorelai and Christopher goes anywhere
