" Yes, yes, and yes. Now help me. He'll be here in two hours."
" Two hours? That's it?"
" Yes."
" Let's get to work."
They headed to Rory's closet and after raiding it came up with the perfect outfit. It was a tan halter top, a jean skirt and a pair of cute sandals. Cute yet summery Lorelai called it.
Rory was putting on her lip gloss, when the doorbell rang. Looking at her clock, she saw that it was 5:55. Early. Hearing the door open and her mom's voice greeting him, she quickly finished her make-up before grabbing her purse. Taking a deep breath she headed out into the living room and saw her mom talking intently to Tristan.
" Hey."
" Hey Rory. You look great."
" Thanks. You ready to go?"
" Yeah."
" You better remember what I said Tristan." Lorelai sang.
" I will."
" Bye mom."
" Bye Rory. Tristan."
" Bye Lorelai."
Rory walked behind Tristan and waited until he opened the door for her.
" Thanks." she said as she climbed in.
" No problem."
Tristan shut her door and walked around the car. Getting in he buckled his seat belt before looking at Rory and starting the car.
' I can't believe we are actually going on a date.' Rory thought.
" Where are we going first, Tristan?"
" The movies."
" Okay."
" What movie do you want to see?"
" How about 40 days, 40 nights?"
" I heard that supposed to be good."
" Me too."
" Alright, we'll see that one."
The movie had ended and as they walked to Tristan's car they laughed and told each other what their favorite part was. They talked about everything, avoiding the topic of their kiss. Suddenly Rory noticed that the car was stopped. She looked out the window and suddenly she gasped.
" Tristan!"
" Rory?"
" A fair. I love fairs."
" Me too. That's why I brought you here. Come on lets go in."
They got out of the car, with Rory leading them to the ticket booth. Tristan quickly paid the entrance fee and go them wrist bands to ride the rides.
" Cotton Candy." Rory said before grabbing Tristan's hand and pulling him to the vendor.
Rory eagerly waited in line for the cotton candy and as soon as they paid for it she was off again.
" Whoa, slow down."
" Where is it?"
" It?"
" The Ferris wheel."
" Over there."
Rory looked in the direction he pointed and they walked over to the line. When they got to the head of the line they showed the operator their wrist bands. Climbing into the awaiting bucket, they waited for it to take of.
As they got higher and higher, Tristan noticed that Rory was silent. Looking at her, he saw her knuckles were white from holding onto the bar in front of her too tightly.
" Scared Rory?"
" A little."
" Then why did you want to come on this ride so bad?"
" I get over it the second time around."
" Okay."
On their final revolution, the ride jerked to a stop at the top.
" It's so pretty up here."
" I know. It's weird looking down on the world."
" Isn't it?"
" Rory?"
" Yeah?"
" When we kissed that night…did you feel anything?"
Rory opened her mouth to say something when the ride jerked back to life. They quickly departed the bucket, the question still in the air.
Their ride to Stars Hollow was silent, a wall between them because Rory hadn't said anything. Pulling in front of her house, Rory hesitated getting out. Turning she looked at Tristan and saw that his body language showed that he was angry. Deciding not to say anything she got out of the car and closed the door.
Tristan felt her staring at him. He was mad that she hadn't answered him and felt defeated because he feared that any chance he had was gone. When he heard the door close, he shifted to reverse and backed out of her driveway. With one more look at her standing on her lawn, he shifted to drive and drove into the night.
Rory watched the taillights of his car disappear. When she was sure he wasn't coming back, she sank to the ground and stared ahead of her.
