A/N: Before you read this chapter, re- read chapter two from the part where Rory says her gandparents live on Maple street. It's been completely changed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*
"Ummm, let's go to dinner."
Rory turned around and started to walk towards the dinning room. Tristan grabbed her arm to stop her.
"I don't think so. You're not getting out of answering me this time."
"Look... Tristan. I'm not so sure that we would- "
"Come on Rory! You know we'd have fun together." Rory looked into his eyes. She really looked and saw the hope they held. The hope that she would say yes, that she would let him show her that he was indeed a good person.
"OK." Rory said barely above a whisper.
"What?"
"OK." She said again, only louder so he could hear her.
*She said yes! SHE SAID YES!!! Breathe DuGrey. In and out. In and out.*
They entered the dining room just as the meals were being served. They were just finishing their main course when Lorelai spoke up.
"Ummm, Rory, will you help me out with my dress in the bathroom?"
"Mom, it's fine."
"Rory, come on. I think I caught it when I tried to re- zip the thing." Lorelai kicked Rory under the table.
*Ow!* "Sure mom."
*~ Bathroom ~*
"Ow! Mom! What was that kick about?"
"I wanted you to come in here with me."
"OK, well now that I am... what did you want to say that was so important that you had to drag me into the bathroom?"
"Why is Evil Tristan here?"
"We told you, we were studying and lost track of time, so he drove me."
"Uh huh... sure. Where'd you get that dress anyways? It's not mine, and it can't be yours because if it were I would be wearing it."
"It's Tristan's sister's dress. I didn't have any clothes but my uniform so he said I could borrow it. Now are you done antagonizing me? You're as bad as grandma!"
"Hey!!! I am not even remotely close to how annoying she is."
"I beg to differ..." Rory said under her breath while walking out.
"I heard that missy!"
*~ Dining Room ~*
"OK, mom's dress is fine now. What were you talking about?" Rory sat down and Lorelai did the same as desert was served.
"Oh, nothing much. I was just telling Emily about school."
"Yes, it seems that Chilton is having a spring dance."
"And I was wondering if you would go with me?"
"I-"
"She would love to Tristan!" Emily interjected. "What a lovely offer, isn't it Rory?"
"Yes. Just great." She said this with a hint of sarcasm. *Great, now I have to go to the dance. I wasn't even going to go.*
The rest of dinner went by smoothly, with Lorelai making some wise cracks every so often. After dinner was done the Tristan got up to leave.
"Thank you for having me Emily." Tristan said politely.
"Oh, it was a pleasure. Come by anytime you like."
"I just may have to take you up on that offer."
"Well mom, we're going to go."
"You too?"
"Yes mom, us too. We need to get home. Thanks for dinner. Bye." Lorelai hurried out of the door.
"Bye grandma. Dinner was great. I'll see you next Friday." Rory hugged her and left as Tristan followed.
"Good bye Mrs. Gilmore."
"Bye Tristan, and say hi to your parents and grandfather for me."
"I will." Tristan said as he exited.
Outside, Lorelai was already in the car waiting to leave.
"I'll be right back mom."
"Fine. But hurry!" Rory walked over to Tristan.
"So... about tomorrow-"
"I'll call you tomorrow morning at about 11?" Rory nodded. "I'll see you later Rory." He got into his car and left.
*~ Gilmore House ~*
"Whew! Home finally!!!" Lorelai said as she kicked off her shoes.
"I'm going go to bed now. Night mom."
"I don't think so! Not so fast. I want to know WHY you were helping Tristan. I thought you hated him..."
"I never actually hated him mom. I just really disliked him."
"So what changed?"
"He bought me coffee."
"Smart boy. A way to a Gilmore's heart is always coffee."
"Night mom." Rory walked into her room before she got a response from Lorelai. She changed out of her dress and got into some comfy teddy bear PJ's. Hanging up the dress she thought about the day she had just had. It went from crappy to saying yes to a date with Tristan. *What was I thinking?* She got into bed and laid there for a while before finally falling asleep.
*~ The Next Day ~*
Rory woke up early the next morning. She hadn't slept well last night. Rory looked at her alarm clock: it read 7: 53.
"Why?!?!" Rory groaned as she got up and out of bed. She made her way slowly to the kitchen and turned the coffee maker on. She next went to get the paper from outside. When she opened the door, she was surprised to find a bouquet of a dozen long stem red roses. It was lavishly wrapped with different kinds of clear paper. She picked up the roses, completely forgetting the paper. She walked back inside to put them in a vase. As she was doing this, she saw the card that came with them. She opened it and read:
Rory,
You probably won't get these until I call you later, but I couldn't resist. I hope you like them. See you tonight!
Tristan.
Rory smiled. *Sometimes he can be so sweet and then others... I just want to-*
"COFFEE!!!" Rory was disturbed from thought by Lorelai running down the stairs and screaming for coffee.
"Ahhhhhhh! All better." She said after taking a huge gulp of her coffee.
"Mom, what are you doing up so early?"
"I couldn't sleep anymore." Then she stopped. Lorelai walked over to the vase and eyed the roses curiously. "And who are these for?"
"Me..."
"From?"
"Tristan...."
"Who? Speak up! I couldn't hear you."
"No one mom."
"Sure..." Lorelai set her coffee down. She walked by the table and quickly grabbed the card that Rory left sitting on there. She quickly read the card and her eyes widened as she finished. "OK, you've got lots of explaining to do! Sit." Rory did as she was told. "Alright, start talking."
"Well yesterday Tristan took me out for coffee because I guess ge noticed that I was feeling a little down. When we got there I realized that it was Friday and that I was supposed to have been home already. That's when I called you. I realized after that that I didn't have anything to wear, so Tristan told me I could borrow his sister's dress-"
"That we went over last night... But that still doesn't explain the roses or the card."
"I'm getting there. He was driving me to grandma's when I asked him why he was being so nice. He said that he wanted me to go out with him on a date. I asked him why he thought I would agree with this. He joked at first, saying how I found him irresistible, and when I told him to guess again he said because I loved him. I then told him that he wasn't even close. Then he got all serious on me and said that I knew that we would have fun if I agreed. The thing is... I never answered him."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. I just got out of the car, but being the stupid person I am, asked him to join us for dinner. His parents are in Rome and he's all alone so I felt bad for him. After grandma asked where I had been, I didn't know what to say. She sure wouldn't have been happy to find out that I had been at a coffee shop. But Tristan saved me and told her we were studying. Twice in one night, he left me speechless. He decided that he deserved a reward-"
"Hunny, I hate to burst your bubble, but leaving a Gilmore speechless DOES deserve a reward."
"Well I asked him what he had in mind and he brought up the date again. I was going to say no, but he looked different. I've seen him ask girls out. He's usually cocky and confident, but when he asked me, he looked hopeful and vulnerable. I couldn't say no."
"Let me get this straight... you're going on a date with Tristan tonight?"
"Yes."
"And he's calling you later to make plans?"
"Yes."
"And you like him?"
"Yes. No! I don't know... I like him when he's nice and not so... Tristan- like, but I can't stand him sometimes."
"Sweetie, welcome to the land of love!"
