He burst out into the July sunlight and thought `What have I done. She must hate me. I gotta get out of here!' before running to his car.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Tristan!" Rory yelled, seeing him get in his car.
He looked up for just a second before deciding that his initial plan was best.
He hopped into the car and took off. Rory picked up her dress and ran to the white convertible her grandparents had given her for her graduation from Chilton over a year ago and took off after him.
Meanwhile....
Lorelai grabbed Lukes hand and ran outside, a still shocked Dean right behind them.
"RORY!!!!" Luke and Lorelai shouted seeing her speeding out of the parking lot, her veil on the ground.
"She'll be back. Give her time. She's going after him." Luke said, holding Lorelai back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rory saw Tristan turn into a McDonalds parking lot and hop out of his car pulling off his tie. He went inside and she parked the car and followed him.
"Yeah, I'd like a coke and a biggie frie." Tristan said.
"Is that all?" The lady asked.
"No. Add a coke to that." Rory said coming up next to him.
"Rory-" Tristan said, a pleading look in his eyes.
"No. Don't talk. We will talk when we sit down." She said.
He paid for the food and they got a booth in the corner. People were turning to look at them. I guess it wasn't that common to see a girl in a wedding dress in McDonalds.
"What the heck was that?????" SHe said , munching on one of his fries. "First, you break up my wedding, and then you lead me to a McDonalds. Explain!"
"I'm sorry. I had to. He doesn't love you, Rory. I have loved you since the first day I saw you, your first day at Chilton." He whispered, looking down.
"That long! Tristan, why didn't you tell me?????" SHe said, surprised.
"You were with Dean, and I had to be a friend, not a lover, when you guys broke up. Then you got back together." He said, still looking down.
"To tell you the truth, I always have been mesmerized by you. I was having second thoughts today, but I didn't tell anyone. Tristan, I think I know why!" Rory said.
He looked up, totally confused. "Why???"
"Tristan, I think I new Dean wasn't the one for me. You are." She said quietly.
"Rory? Are you serious?" He said.
"Tristan, I think after I broke up with Dean, when we got back together, I was happy, because I missed having a date for every Friday. It was never the same, though. I never felt the same tingle, spark. I think it was because he expected so much. I mean, he broke up with me because I wouldn't say I love you. That's too much pressure for me." Rory said, taking his hand.
"Oh Rory! I love you so much, for having your morals and your reasons. I do love you!"
"I love you too, Tristan! So much! More than I ever loved Dean!" They kissed across the table. "Oh, and thank you! I am really happy you broke up my wedding."
They smiled.

"Rory!!!!!" Lorelai said as Tristan and Rory entered gthe living room. She was sitting on the couch with Luke, sipping coffee.
She jumped up and hugged her daughter.
"Rory, what happened??" Luke said as he hugged his step daughter, shooting daggers at Tristan.
"Luke, it isn't Tristans fault. I was having second thoughts, and he just helped me see it." She said, looking at Tristan. "Mom, I'm sorry, but I can't marry Dean."
"Oh, baby, no. Not if you don't want to." Lorelai said.
"Well, I'd better go. It is getting late." Tristan said.
"I will walk you to the door." Rory said.
When they got to the door, she hugged for a long time.
"Thank you, Tristan. I love you!" She whispered in his ear.
They kissed a long kiss.
Lorelai and Luke watched from out of sight.
Luke wrapped his arm around her.
"Luke?" She said.
"Hmm?" He responded.
"Luke....I'm....I'm...I'm pregnant." She said, turning in his arms to see his face. She had never seen him look this happy.
He leaned down and hugged her for a long time.
