A/N: PLEASE READ AND REVIEW
The next morning, Rory awoke, and the memory of the last night's awful date all came flooding back. She groaned and then thought about her date with Tristan and smiled. She glanced at the clock. Its bright red numbers told her it was ten o'clock. He should be up by now. Rory dialed Tristan's number.
"Hello?" his voice picked up
"Hey Tristan!" she said
"Rory? Hey what's up?"
"Nothing, just thought I'd call and say I had a really great time the other night."
"Yea, I enjoyed myself too. What are you doing today?"
"Nothing." She replied
"Maybe you wanna hang out or something?" he asked her hopefully.
"Sure, that's sounds great. How about you come spend the day in Stars Hollow? I'll take you on the tour."
"Yea that sounds good. I'll see you around one?"
"See you then." She replied hanging up the phone.
She sat at the table with a cup of coffee before jumping up.
"Mom! Tristan is coming today!" she shouted
"Get your butt up here with a cup of coffee and we'll get you ready!" she shouted back
Rory ran up to her mother's room with coffee and chose a pair of beige jeans, and a royal blue sweater. They put her hair into a ponytail and chose a pair of white platforms, which weren't too high.
At a little after one, the doorbell rang.
Rory answered the door.
"Hey!" she greeted him
"Hey Rory, Lorelai." He said as he stepped inside the Gilmore home.
Once they were in the living room, Lorelai began to speak.
"So tell me about yourself Tristan. I'm dying to know more about the guy my daughter has fallen for." she smiled
"Mom!" Rory turned red
Tristan laughed. "Okay, my name is Tristan Dugrey, I live in Hartford, I attend Chilton, and that's about it." He replied
"Interesting." Lorelai said
"Do you want to see the town?" Rory asked Tristan
"I'd love to see it. Give me the grand tour." He replied taking Rory's hand
"We'll be home later mom." She called to Lorelai
"WAIT! While your out, stop at Doose's for junk food for movie night, and go to video store and choose a movie to watch. Here's some money." Lorelai handed her a twenty and they were on their way.
"Okay, this is Miss Patty's dance studio." She showed him. They continued their walk into the center of town. This is Doose's, the market. That's Luke's, the diner."
"It says hardware on it though." Tristan pointed out confused
"Long story. That's where my best friend, Lane lives." She pointed to the antique store.Oooh, lets go get coffee from Luke's!" she dragged him into the diner.
After they got their coffee, they went and sat in the gazebo. Tristan looked over at Rory, who had already finished her coffee and was sitting contently, watching as a man she pointed out as Taylor was decorating Stars Hollow. Knowing the moment was right, he took her hand in one of his, and his other hand took her chin, and he leaned in to kiss her.
Rory was a little hesitant at first, but within a second, she let all her emotions go. She found herself kissing him back, first softly, and then a little more forcefully. They broke apart, out of breath.
"So, where does this leave us?" she whispered
"Wherever you want." He whispered back.
"Together?" she asked
Trisan just nodded and kissed her again. The couple sat for a little while in the gazebo and talked. Rory looked down at her watch, it was already five.
"We better go to the market and video store." She pointed out to him.
Tristan took her hand in his, and they walked into the market together.
"Okay, we need marshmallows, cookie dough, cheese doodles, ice cream, hershey kisses, chocolate chips, and anything else sugary that you can find." She said dumping items into a basket.
They had turned into the next aisle, where Dean was putting cans of soup on a shelf.
"Hey Rory!" he said smiling, until he noticed Tristan. "Who's that?" he asked
"Dean, this is my boyfriend, Tristan." She explained to him as Tristan put his arm around her waist. She saw a slight look of hurt on his face.
"Well congratulations." He muttered and went back to the soup.
"What was that all about?" Tristan asked as he and Rory left the store.
"I went on a date with him once. Hated it." She explained as they walked into the video store.
"What do you feel like seeing?" she asked
"You choose."
"Willy Wonka?" she asked
"Again?!"
"You can never see Willy Wonka too many times!" she said grabbing the video and paying for it.
Later On that Night
Once the pizza had arrived, they sat down in the living room with Lorelai and began to watch. Of course, Rory and Lorelai had to get up and dance and sing to the Oompa Loompa song. After the movie ended, Tristan stood up.
"I better get going, school tomorrow." He said "Thanks Lorelai, I had fun."
"I'll walk you outside." Rory said
They stood on the front porch.
"I'll see you in school tomorrow." He leaned down and kissed her.
"Yea, tomorrow." She repeated and gave him a wave.
She ran back into the house. Lorelai was already upstairs getting ready for bed. Rory jumped onto the bed.
"I'm his girlfriend!" she squealed.
"Your kidding! That's awesome!" Lorelai gave her a hug.
"Are you happy?" she asked Rory
"Very." Rory replied
That's how the Gilmore Girls fell asleep that night.
The Next Morning
"You're gonna be late!" Lorelai shouted
"We better run to Luke's!" Rory shouted back grabbing her things and running.
By the time they reached Luke's, Rory saw her bus pull up.
"Damn, so close!" she turned and hugged her mother good bye. She looked into the diner. She saw a guy with dark hair working behind the counter. He certainly wasn't Luke or Ceasar. Who was this mystery guy?
Please, please, please read and review!
