L: " Oh look, Taylor's scaring little kids again."

R: " Doesn't he know it isn't Halloween yet?"

L: " Obviously not."

**************Luke's Diner***************************** L: " Coffee!!!!"

Luke: " How many cups have you had today?" Lorelai begins counting on her fingers.

L: " Umm.. 4

Luke: " Rory, how much has she had??"

R: " 4 since I've been up."

L: " Come on Luke please??"

Luke: " No!"

L: " Please!"

Luke: " Lorelai, No!" We sat down at the counter. He walked up with two empty cups and set them down in front of us. He poured coffee in mine and decaf in mom's.

L: " Luke, this isn't coffee. You big meanie."

Luke: "Come on, Lorelai you have to have a better insult than that."

L: " Fine, you mean person who deprives people of what they need to live."

Luke: " Good one. But contrary to what you may believe, you don't need coffee to live."

He said as he laid a cup of real coffee in front of her. He always seemed to give into Lorelai.

L: " Thank you, Lukey-poo." We finished our coffee and left. It was noon. Mom went to the inn and I went home to await Bible Boy's arrival. I took a shower and changed into a dark demin skirt, mid calf length black boots and a pink tee shirt that said Old Navy in jewels that stopped a few inches above my belly button. I decided to put my hair up in a clip. I put some of those shimmery jewels in my hair too. I grabbed my dark denim jacket and my Black Hand bag. I looked at the clock and it was 5:15. I picked up " A walk to remember" by Nicholas Sparks. I didn't seem like a minute had passed when the doorbell rang. I looked at the clock on the wall and realized it was 5:31. I put on my jacket and grabbed my bag. I opened the door and he was standing there just looking amazing. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans that fit perfectly and a long sleeved tee shirt that said Ambercrombie & Finch. I smiled at him and he held out a single red rose with yellow edges.

***************Tristan's thoughts****************************************** I pulled up in the Gilmore's driveway at 5:00 exactly. I grabbed the red rose with yellow edges from the seat next to me. As I walked up the steps a million thoughts were running through my mind. I was finally going out with Rory Gilmore, my Mary. I was still amazed that she was giving me the time of day. She was all I had wanted for the past two years. At first she was a conquest but now she was so much more. She was..my everything. I rang the doorbell and waited for her to appear. She opened the door slowly. She just stood in the doorway. She was beautiful. She had a glow about her. You could see that her beauty radiated from the inside out. I was left speechless by her beauty, so I just held out the rose. **************************End of Tristan's thoughts*************************

T: "You look amazing."

R: "Thank you, so do you and this rose is lovely. What does it mean?" (AN: different color roses have different meanings)

T: "I will tell you later. So shall we?"

R: " Okay." He walked me to my side of the car and he opened the door for me. I go in, he closed the door and walked around to his side. He got in and started to drive.

R: " So where are we going?"

T: "To this little club on 5th and Scenic. You know the Crystal Room. It has really good food. Not to mention a great place to dance."

R: "So dinner, dancing and then what?"

T: " Never satisfied are we, Mary? (laughs) Then we go back to my house to watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

R: " Yay! I love that movie."

T: " Julia, our cook will have popcorn, assorted candy, coffee and soda waiting for us when we get there."

R: " You know me too well, Bible Boy." Before I knew it we were at the club and Tristan handed the keys to his silver Corvette to the valet guy. I waited for him before I attempted to get in line for the club.

T: " What are you doing?"

R: "Getting in line."

T: "No, we have connections here."

R: " Oh, really?"

T: " Yeah." Directing his attention to the bouncer. "Hey Big Frankie."

BF: "Hey man, where have you been? We missed you."

T: " I had a lot to do."

BF: "What happened to the wench?"

T: " You must be referring to Summer. She dumped me but I found someone much better." I blushed. Big Frankie looked at me and back at Tristan.

BF: "I'd say so. This one looks like she has class. She'll be good for you." Big Frankie opened the rope and let us in.

BF: " Have a great time." We were seated at the table nearest the dance floor. As we sat down as slow song started to play.

T: " May I have this dance?"

R: "You certainly may." He grabbed my hand and led me out on the floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck, he responded by putting his arms around my waist. I put my head on his shoulder and realized how good it felt to be held by him. The song playing was " I wanna be with you" by Mandy Moore.

*******************Music************************************************ I wanna be with you/ If only for one night/ To be the one whose in your arms/ Who holds you tight/ I wanna be with you/ There's nothing more to say/ There's noting I want more than to feel this way/ I wanna be with you. *****************Fades out***********************************************

I looked up at him to find him looking at me. I leaned in and kissed him. I pulled away to see his response. He smiled, then leaned in and kissed me. This kiss was nothing like the kisses between Dean and I. Dean's kisses lacked passion. We broke from our kiss and realized we were the only ones left on the floor. We walked back to our table. He slipped his arm around my waist. We ordered our food, ate and then left. When we got back to the car, I got up the courage to tell Tristan how I felt. We started to drive to his house.

R: "Tris, we need to talk." A worried look crossed his face.

T: " Yeah, about what?"

R: "I've wanted to say this for about three weeks. Tris."

T: " Yeah, Ror?"

R: "I...I."

T: "You what?"

R: " I'm really glad that we've gotten close."

T: "Me too." I was going to tell him but this wasn't the right time. We got to his house and watched Willy Wonka. Shortly after I had to go home. On our way he pulled the car over.

R: "Why are we stopping?"

T: "Because we need to talk."

R: "Okay, shoot." I said calmly but I was nervous.

T: " Rory, the last few weeks have been amazing and I was wondering what we were."

R: "What do you mean?"

T: "I know your not my girlfriend but.are we just friends or are we something more?"

R: "I don't know." I said with my voice shaking. "That depends."

T: " Rory, before I ask you something, I want to tell you that it's okay if you say no. But Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, will you be my girlfriend?" He looked very vulnerable at that moment. I kissed him. He pulled away.

T: "So is that a yes or a no?"

R: " It's a yes." He smiled.

T: " I got this for you." He said as he pulled a box from his pocket. I opened it. It was a beautiful ring. It was a gold heart with a ruby set in the middle. "Look at the inscription." The inscription read "T.D. + R.G."

R: " It's beautiful."

T: "You deserve only the best."

R: "What were you going to do with it if I had said no?"

T: I don't know, I just didn't think about it." I leaned over and kissed him with everything I had. It was the most amazing kiss I had ever experienced.

AN: Okay that's the end of chapter 3 I hope you like it. Please Review. Let me know what you think.
