Encounters of the DuGrey Kind

It Was All an Accident
(part 2)


Tristan and Rory walked down the path to what Rory supposed was the
back door. It was still far grander than her front door. Tristan led the way
to a large comfortable living room. Tristan sat down on a large blue
couch and Rory sat on the other end – but not to close. A maid appeared.
"Mr Dugrey what would you and your guest like to drink?" she inquired.
The way she asked made Rory think that it wasn't uncommon for Tristan
to have female guests. She tried to banish the thought from her mind.
"Well I'll have a coffee, and…" Tristan began then trailed off looking at
Rory who appeared to be lost in thought.
"A coffee for me too" said Rory in a slightly startled way. The maid then
left the room.
"So," began Rory who was keen to break the silence "How long have you
been back?"
"Well, about two months, but my parents were keen to keep it hushed up
I am after all the son who got sent to Military school" he replied finishing
bitterly.
"So how was it, the school I mean?" Rory inquired tentatively.
"Oh not as bad as I though it'd be – not at all like on Malcolm in the
Middle!" he answered, smiling sightly.
The maid entered the room with two mugs of steaming coffee. Rory
grabbed one, glad of something to do with her hands.
Tristan took a sip "So you and the bag boy still working towards a house
a white picket fence and two point five kids?" Tristan asked smoothly his
face hardly changing. Rory fought the urge to spit out her large mouth
full of coffee and swallowed.
"Dean and I are no longer dating, but we are still good friends." She said
coldly. Annoyed by Tristan's arrogant question and the lie she had told,
Dean and her were acquaintances at most these days. Tristan was staring
at her rather unnervingly over the top of his mug of coffee. Rory glanced
around; suddenly she wanted to be anywhere but on the end of a large
blue couch with Tristan DuGrey. She looked at her watch and drained her
coffee. Rising she said, "I've got to go now."
"So soon?" Tristan asked, his eyes wide in innocence.
"Yes." Stated more firmly than she had intended.
"But you haven't even seen my bedroom yet Mary!" Tristan said
provocatively.
"Goodbye Tristan," Rory said walking out of the room.
"See you on Saturday then Mary," Tristan said from his seat and waited
for the response he knew would come.
Rory stopped in her tracks and saw the look of glee on Tristan's smug
face.
"I wasn't aware I'd be having the gift of your presence on Saturday,"
Rory said trying to remain the dignity she would have quickly lost a few
years ago.
"Well you are!" said Tristan "Your Grandmother is organising a dinner
party on Saturday, right?"
"Yes she is" Rory said, remembering her Grandmother's inane talk of it
just an hour ago.
"Well guess which distinguished family is invited?" Tristan asked
striking a pose with his chest puffed out. "Make sense now?"
"Oh that makes sense" said Rory evenly "what doesn't make sense is
why you the "son that went to Military school" would be invited" she
finished trying not to seem triumphant.
She turned and had just reached the door when Tristan called to her. "Ok
you win this time Mary"

Mean while in the kitchen at the Independence Inn Lorelai was perched
on a stool gossipping to Sooky while the latter attempted to do something
amazing with a melon.

'Ooh I can't believe you two are dating, it's so cute!" squealed Sooky
while waving a large knife to make her point.
'Careful with that knife I like my hair this length" Lorelai said sternly
then continued "and we are not dating, we just happen to have been out
on several social occasions recently."
"Your not fooling anyone especially not me or Rory" Sooky said while
she attempted to cut the melon diagonally "and you have that date look
on your face when your together."
"Now your being ridiculous there is no 'date look'" Lorelai stated
Just then there was a knock on the door of the kitchen.
"Who knocks around here?" Sooky asked
"Well hopefully not the health and safety people" Lorelai said looking at
Sooky's hands on which six fingers sported bandaids.
"Alright I'm coming in anyway," a gruff voice shouted through the door.
Luke Danes then walked in.
"We were just talking about you," said Sooky in a girlie voice.
"Oh," said Luke glancing nervously at Lorelai. Lorelai glared at Sooky.
"Oh I see you don't want me here," said Sooky and disappeared behind a
large stack of pots and pans. Lorelai and Luke looked at each other
nervously.
"Your sunglasses" said Luke handing a pair to Lorelai.
"Oh" said Lorelai then tried again "Thanks I must have left them at your
place"
"Yeah" Luke said "Last night" and then smiled at her. Lorelai smiled
back.
A large "Ahem" was heard from behind the stack of pots and pans. Luke
looked uneasy and Lorelai tried to pretend she hadn't heard a thing. Luke
almost thew the sunglasses at her and said a quick "see you" before
hightailing it out of the kitchen.

Rory parked her car outside her house and glanced at her watch, four. A
few hours and her mother would be home and they could analyse her
strange encounter with Tristan. The more Rory thought about it, as she let
herself in and started to make a coffee, the more she wanted to tell
someone right away. She took her coffee and realised with dismay it
wasn't as good as the coffee she'd had at Tristan's. Thinking about
Tristan was probably a mistake. Rory couldn't help but remember his
face, his eyes, and well, his body. Rory searched through the random
mess on the kitchen bench and found the phone. She dialled a number she
had memorised.
A breathless Lane Kim answered "Hello" she said.
"Hey, you got the phone before your mum well done, I was trying to
work out an excuse I suppose school work wouldn't really work now
perhaps I could say I'm inviting you to the library to do some research
into… well I don't know." Rory finished despondently.
Lane laughed "Stop babbling Rory, what's up with you?" she asked.
"Well" began Rory "You'll never guess who I saw today!"

Ok so I hoped you liked that. It was mostly dialogue which I hate writing
but once people start talking you can't make them stop. Now I need some
help. Can anyone tell me whether it was after Chilton or Harvard that
Lorelai and Rory were going to go backpacking around Europe? (Or if in
fact they were going at all it may just have been in a fanfic I read) Also
what time of year would it be if Rory has finished at Chilton and knows
she's got into Harvard? Thanx heaps!!! Please tell me!!!
