A/N: Dun dun duunnnnnnnn!!!!!!! And now your feature presentation. Roar!
Okay that's enough of that. Here ya go.
Rory looked tearfully into his eyes.
"Tris, I wanna know what's gonna happen to us." Tristan panicked a little. Their relationship had been going great. He didn't want her to break it off with him now. But he guessed it was just too good to be true.
"What do you mean?" He asked, barely above a whisper. Rory stared him dead in the eyes. A stare that made him go weak in the knees.
"I'm going to Yale Tristan. You'll be at Harvard. I know that high school romances don't last but things were going great for us. Just because we're ending high school at the end of this week doesn't mean I want to end our relationship too." Tristan now understood and he relaxed a little. He smirked and that made her frown. "Nothing about our little dilemma is funny mister." It's now or never Dugrey, Tristan thought. He pulled out a little piece of paper out of his back pocket.
"Read it" was all he said.
Rory sat down on a bench and unfolded the paper. Tristan smiled as Rory's eyes got wide with surprise as she read the letter's contents. She through the letter down and engulged (hehe, I just made up a word) Tristan in a blood stopping embrace. She hugged him tightly and then let go. She started screaming and jumping up and down.
"You applied! Oh my God! You got in! We'll be together. Eek!!!!! I'm so happy." She started raising her hands above her head and did a happy dance. Tristan just laughed and held out his hand to her which she gracefully accepted. The two future Yale students walked hand in hand into the Chilton building, both with bright smiles on their faces.

"Tristan Dugrey." Tristan swaggered up to the headmaster and hugged him, which surprised everyone, making a few people in the audience laugh.
"Paris Gellar." The headmaster called after gaining composure. Paris tearfully made her way past the podium, shaking hands with her teachers. And she accepted her diploma.
"Rory Gilmore." Rory probably had the largest amount of people in the audience, that's why she received the loudest applause. The stage erupted with noise after her name was called which made her chuckle softly as she accepter her diploma. After the remainder of the Chilton students were called the headmaster cleared his throat.
"I will now present to you the graduating class of-" but he was cut off. "Roooorrrrrryyyyyyyyy!!!! You get em girl!!!!!!!!" called the unmistakable voice of Lorelai. The audience laughed and the headmaster shook his head disapprovingly.
"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. I will now present to you the graduating class of 2003!" The crowd applauded as the graduates receded out of the big room. As Rory was walking out, Lorelai handed her a bouquet of roses and Kirk was snapping photos furiously. Rory laughed and continued walking out.
Outside, Tristan, Lane, and Paris were all waiting to congradulate each other. Lane had graduated a couple hours before them. After hugging Lane and congradulating Paris on becoming valedictorian she moved on to Tristan.
Tristan opened his arms and she accepted. They stood there hugging for what seemed like forever.
"It's over. No more high school." Rory said, now realizing that she would be in the grownup world now.
"No more food fights" Tristan continued.
"No more Paris"
"No more helping you with your locker"
"No more Mr. Medina"
"No more Headmaster Charelston"
"Wow, as much as I hate to admit it I'm gonna miss this school." Rory stated, surprised at herself.
"No take it back! Satan has gotten you to like Hell!" Lorelai exclaimed. "Shame on you!" she said to Tristan, smacking him in the back of the head. ("Ow!") Rory and Lorelai gazed tearfully at one another. "My baby is all grown up!" Lorelai said, sniffling. "Movie Night is going to be so lonely. There will be no one to sing the Oompa Loompa song with. I know, maybe I can pose as a college student. No that's boring. Ooh! Maybe a stalker. I can follow you to all of your classes, park my car outside of your dorm room. You know, the whole nine yards." Rory just laughed as her mother rambled on. She really was going to miss her.
Back in Star's Hollow, there was a big graduation party going on in the middle of town. Rory sat in the gazebo, thinking about how she wouldn't be here everyday anymore.
"Hey" someone said. She smiled when she saw the dark haired rebel actually speaking to her.
"Hi Jess." She patted the bench next to her to signal him to sit down. He, somewhat reluctantly accepted.
"So what college are you going to?" Rory asked trying to engage in some sort of conversation.
"Columbia."
"Wow, congratulations." Rory said, smiling.
"Yeah well, I just came to wish you good luck. You know, in the future and stuff. Oh and I didn't want you to go off to college thinking I hated you or something. You're still my friend, that is if you want to be." Jess said, hopefully. Rory laughed and hugged him. She pulled away and kissed him on the cheek.
"Of course I do. I'm gonna miss you SO much."
"I'll keep in touch, don't worry. Well, see ya." Jess got up and left. Rory sighed and turned around to see Tristan standing behind the gazebo.
"Hey Tris." She said. He came and sat down.
"'I'll keep in touch don't worry'" he mimicked. "That guy is so hung up over you."
"He is not! Didn't you just hear? He wants to stay friends." Tristan just shook his head at her cluelessness. (Ooh, a new made up word!!!!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
"Don't worry, I'll be down this weekend." Rory promised. Lorelai just nodded, tears flowing freely down her face. The last person she had to say goodbye to was Luke.
"Well, uh here's some coffee for the road." He said, uncomfortable with all of the emotions everyone was showing. Rory grabbed the thermos and set it on the ground. She wrapped her arms around Luke. She was surely going to miss him. Luke was surprised, he couldn't remember the last time he was hugged like that. He put his arms around Rory too.
"I'm gonna miss you kiddo."
"Don't call me that. I'll miss your coffee. But most of all you." Luke smiled. Secretly, he loved her like a daughter and he was going to miss her SO much.
Rory made her way into Tristan's navigator, which was presently packed with their luggage. As they drove past the sign that said "You are now leaving Stars Hollow" Rory reflected on her past and was excited about the future to come.
A/N: I know corny ending to a corny chapter but hey what can I say, I'M A CORNY PERSON. Well, this is as much detail as I'm going to get in about their Yale days. In the Chapters to come: Rory and Tristan are living together. Both of them are workaholics. The next chapter is basically showing how busy the two of them are. K that's all for now. Hope you enjoy the rest of this story. Salaams!!!! Or Peace!!!!!
