Ok, it's yet ANOTHER phone conversation. I'm sorry, but I want this story
to move faster, and this made things easier. Plus I wanted to finish the
conversation that was started earlier. Thankyou SO much to everyone who
reviewed, again I'm bowing down to you, especially to people who keep
reviewing to tell me what they think - Crissy and Klm111a are two who come
to mind - keep up with the feedback, it's been great. Remember to keep
reviewing, cos I love getting them!
*Part 6*
"Hello?"
"Rory?"
"Tristan. Hi."
"Hi. Am I disturbing anything?"
"A phone conversation with my mother that I have a feeling was about to go to a place I don't want it too. Just let me say goodbye and I'll be right with you."
"Kay."
Rory clicked the call waiting button to get back on the phone to her mother. "Uhh. Mom?"
"You had better not be hanging up on me. You are, aren't you? Who is this person who's more important to than the person who gave you life?" she heard her mother ask indignantly.
"He isn't more important, but we have been talking a while and I am going to call you later, and you're the one who said I should call Tristan-"
"It's Tristan! Oh! Oh! Can you put us on three-way calling?"
"No, I really don't think you talking to Tristan would be a good thing."
"Meanie. You have to call me back straight after and tell me what he said. Miss Patty will pay good money for this. Ok, I'm going now, but I'm expecting a call soon, although, according to Lane you talked for two hours last time."
"You talked to Lane about me? You know what, I really don't care. I'll talk to you later."
She clicked the call waiting button before Lorelai could say another word. "Tristan?"
"Hey, you really didn't have to get rid of your mother for me, I could have called back."
"You were doing me a favor, trust me, and that phone conversation could have gone on for another three hours."
"My phone conversations with my mother are lucky to go over the three minute mark."
"She likes to talk. just ask Luke."
"Luke?"
"Her husband. He runs the dinner where we used to eat every day and they used to banter a lot, until they finally did that whole clichéd passionate- kiss-in-the-middle-of-a-fight thing. They're complete opposites but they manage not to kill each other. unless you count the fact that Luke is constantly making her coffee, and he claims that that will kill her one day."
"Well, anyway, as much as this is interesting, I actually didn't call to talk about Stars Hollow and your mother."
"Really? I thought that was why everyone called."
"And here I was thinking you were intelligent."
"It's a mistake that many make."
"And only fueled by the fact that you graduated from Harvard."
"But it's really only an elaborate ruse."
"Which is the best kind of ruse."
"Way better than a simple ruse."
"And we're of the track again."
"Well, the fact that I have no clue as to what the track is certainly doesn't help."
"That's why I called, to tell you of the track."
"Is it a pretty track?"
"Of course, it has ducks and a lake and laughter and comes in the form of this friendly picnic I do with some friends every year, and was wondering if you would like to come. Are you busy Sunday?"
"I do have a friend coming to stay with me, could he come? Because I wouldn't really know anyone there and then I won't be nervous."
Rory heard a pause before, "sure, he can come. But Cookie will be there, and you have met her, if only briefly but that will be enough for her to babble aimlessly to you for hours on end."
"And with my mother as a role model, I'm certainly able to babble back just as aimlessly."
"Should be a fun conversation then."
"I think so."
"Well, anyway, I'll give you the address and stuff, it's on at 12:00 Sunday, bring something for lunch."
They talked for another hour after that, before Tristan had to leave to go to his son's school for some play or something, and Rory hung up feeling happy. She dialed her mothers number.
"You guys talked for over an hour. There's something there! Like in the song from 'Beauty and the Beast', only he isn't a big huge monster, but you are a beautiful book worm and stuff." Rory groaned as her mother started to sing "there's something sweet. and almost kind."
"Mother, we share exactly the same talents when it comes to singing - that is to say, none."
"'I wonder why I didn't see it there before'- Luke stop, I'm allowed to sing to my daughter. I gave birth to her, I can serenade her."
Rory heard a struggle for the phone and then Luke's voice, "I'm sorry Rory, I really shouldn't have given her that last cup of coffee, but she can be very annoying when she wants. She has to leave anyway (Rory distinctly heard a "she is the cat's mother" in the background), and will call you later."
"Bye Luke, bye Mom."
"Bye."
Rory sat staring at the phone, smiling at her mother and step-father. Life was looking good.
*Authors Note*
Next part is at the park, no phone dialogue! Yay! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review! I thrive on them! Really, I'm forever checking to see if there's more, and if there is I get all excited and jump up and down and it puts me on a happy for the rest of the day so by just doing a little review you can make someone happy and that's a good thing and I'll stop now.
