I'm baaack! Thanx to all of my reviewers! (Sniffs) they like me! They
really like me! Hehe. Anyway, here's the next part!
"Hey Rory" Tristan met Rory at her locker right before first period. Rory turned around. "Hi Tristan" she answered, giving him a light kiss on the lips.
Tristan grinned. He and Rory had been dating for almost six months now, and he was quickly falling in love with her. He wasn't sure that she felt the same way, however.
Rory smiled to herself. The past few months had been the best months of her life. Tristan was so much more understanding then Dean, much less protective and jealous. He was caring and sweet, bringing her extra-large cups of coffee every morning, taking her home every afternoon. From the way he had asked her out on their first date, to this day, he just continued to amaze and surprise her with romantic gestures. She realized, with a shock, that she was falling in love with him. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid he didn't feel the same.
"So, Rory, any plans for spring break?" Tristan asked his girlfriend.
"Not really. Mom's got a business trip in San Diego that week, so I was hoping we could just hang out?" she asked.
"I have a better idea. My cousin, Charlie's band is opening up for some concert on MTV's Spring Break. His girlfriend Audrey's got a beach house down in Florida, where the show will take place. He invited me there, and I was hoping you could come?"
"Wow. That would be fantastic! I'll have to clear it with Mom, but I'm sure it won't be a problem. Who else is gonna be there?"
"Well, I've also invited Mona, Sarah, Paula, and Joe" he explained, referring to some friends of his. "And Charlie said the other people would be him, Audrey, Audrey's roommate Joey, and Joey's friends Pacey and Jack.
"Wow. Will the beach house hold all of us?"
"Oh, yeah. Audrey's family is really wealthy, and the beach house is supposed to be huge."
"Great! I'll call Mom right now." Rory took out her cell phone and went to the courtyard, Tristan following eagerly, waiting for the answer.
"Hi, Mom?
Fine.
No, everything's good. Listen, Tristan's cousin's girlfriend owns a beach house in Florida, and she invited us to stay, and I was wondering, since you've got that conference that week, and I had no plans, could I go?
Really?
Mom, you're the best! I love you. OK, bye Mom." Rory hung up, her face shining. "She said yes! The Inn that she owns, the Independence, has been doing really well lately, and so she has extra money set aside that I could use. I have some spending money saved up, and Grandma will probably give me some more spending money, and this is gonna be fantastic!"
"Rory, Rory, calm down!"
"Sorry Tristan, it's just I've almost never gone out of Connecticut, and if I have, it's mostly been local trips to New York or something. I've never even been on a plane! I'm just so excited!"
"Well, I'm glad. I'll make the flight arrangements this afternoon, and I'll tell you the details tomorrow. Do you think your grandmother would mind an extra person at Friday night dinner?"
"Are you kidding? You're a Dugray! Grandma loves you!"
"Great. Anyway, I have to go, I have a dentist appointment."
"Ok, then I'd better go catch my bus. Bye Tristan."
"Bye, sweetie."

"So, what do you guys think of this suit?" Rory held up a turquoise tankini with a modest top and bottom."
"Are you kidding? That'll knock Tristan's socks off! Go try it on" exclaimed Mona. "Yeah, Ror. It looks great!" agreed Sarah. The three were at Somerset Mall in Hartford, buying new clothing for the trip. Mona's family was wealthy. In fact, her mansion was right next door to Rory's grandparent's house. When Rory had gone to her Grandparent's the night before after school, Mona had suggested she spend the night, along with Sarah, and the next day they could go shopping. When Emily heard this plan, she insisted Rory take one of her credit cards and get whatever she wanted. So there they were, credit cards in hand, looking for the perfect outfits.
At the end of the day, the girl's arms were laden with bags. They had each bought bathing suits, sandals, shorts, etc, and they were exhausted.
"Oh, Guido's!" exclaimed Rory, pointing to Guido's Pizza, on the first floor of the mall.
"Great idea. I'm starving!" said Mona.
Soon, comfortably ensconced in a booth at Guido's Pizza, the girls were munching on slices of pepperoni and pineapple with extra cheese, and were excitedly discussing the trip. They were to leave Thursday night at 7:00, and they would return eleven days later, on the day before school started again. They were flying first class of course, and Tristan and his friends were pitching in to pay for the difference between first class and coach for Rory. Rory would have hated accepting the charity, but she didn't know about it. Lorelei had bought her daughter a coach ticket online, but Tristan secretly went online later and upgraded it to first class. So the girls talked, eagerly anticipating the next week.

"Rory, Tristan! Over here!" Rory and Tristan had gone to the airport straight from school, but Rory had to finish up some things for "The Franklin" first. That had taken about half an hour. As a result, Mona, Joe, Paula, and Sarah were already there.
"Hi, guys. Sorry we're late. Guess we should check in now, huh?"
"The group proceeded to check in, then lugged their carry-ons around the airport, exploring the shops. When they heard the boarding call, they rushed to the gate, several cups of coffee in Rory's hands. Soon, they were in their seats. Rory was by the window, Tristan next to her. Mona and Sarah were in the seats in front of them, and Paula and Joe, who were going out, were in the seats behind Rory and Tristan. As the plane took off, each of them eagerly anticipated the coming week.
