**A Continuation of Movie Night**

Rory sat up and said, "Tris, you wanna come make coffee with me in the kitchen?"

"Can't you do it by yourself?" Rory motioned her head towards Paris and Jess and Tristan got the message. "Oh actually maybe you can't?" he said with a slight question. He got up and grabbed hold of Rory's hand and the two walked in to the kitchen together, leaving Jess and Paris alone together.

'Damn Rory,' thought Paris. 'She's trying to set me up, of course she is, otherwise why would she have left me alone in the room with a guy I barely know that she obviously knows. Doesn't she know that I don't date?' Then Paris looked over at him, 'But he is kind of hott. Oh wow did that just come out of my mouth. He's got a bad boy look about him, stop it stop it Paris' she told herself, then she was interrupted by Jess.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes I am. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well you just kind of look out of it."

"No I'm fine," said Paris.

"Okay. Do you read?"

Paris was startled by this question and said, "Yes why do you want to know?"

"What's your favorite book?"

"The Count of Monte Cristo (I don't know if it really is or not), what's yours?" Paris said, thinking to herself, maybe this evening wouldn't be so bad, at least he had brains and well he did have looks.

"Oliver Twist."

"Oh that's a good book."

"Yea, it is." Jess said, he could tell he made her nervous.

"So Paris you don't date much do you?"

"What why would you say that?" Paris snapped.

"Cause your snapping at me and your obviously nervous even though we both know that this is just one of Rory's set ups."

"Fine your right, I don't but so what. (Making her voice louder so that Rory could hear) And yes, it is just another one of Rory's set ups. Has she set you up before?"

"Nah, what about with you."

"She set me up with Tristan actually."

Jess looked surprised, "She set you up with Tristan? Why would she do that? She likes Tristan, and well you don't go with Tristan very well, no offense."

"None taken, but yeah she did, after she kissed Tristan at Madeline's party and was freaking out."

"Oo I never heard about this, tell me more." Jess said grinning. He liked this girl, she was pretty, she seemed nervous, but she seemed like she had a nice side to her too.

"Okay." Paris said as she launched in to the whole Rory-Tristan situation.

--In the Kitchen- "I can't believe she's telling Jess about us! Jess never knew any of this." Said Rory.

"Well it can't hurt him."

"But still." Rory said with a pouty face.

"You want me to go stop her?" Tristan asked.

"Ooo my knight in shining armor! You come to help make me coffee, and your saving me from endless hours of torture from Jess. I think I just may love you!"

Tristan looked at her and studied her face, then he decided to go for it and he said, "Do you really mean that Rory? Do you really love me?"

Rory was caught totally off guard. That was not at all what she was expecting. Then Tristan leaned in and kissed her and whispered, "Well I mean this, I love you Rory Gilmore."

Rory looked into his eyes said, "I did mean it Tristan, I did." Then they kissed again.

"Now my knight in shining armor are you going to go save me from hours of endless torture or what?" Rory said with a grin.

"I'm going to, but you my princess, are coming with me." Tristan responded, he intertwined his fingers with hers and they walked back into the living room.

".so then Tristan realized that Rory wasn't just another conquest, that she wasn't going to give into him so easily. So he started to think of her as a challenge and the next thing he knew he had fallen for her, but of course Rory, being as blind as she is did not notice at all. Everyone else, the whole school, the world did, but no not Rory. And Tristan just kept---" Paris was saying before Tristan cut her off.

"So Paris your filling Jess in on some history?"

"Its very good history man it truly is," said Jess snickering.

"Can it Mariano. And I'm blind all of a sudden?" said Rory.

"Can it? Did you just say can it? Well its official we truly did go back in time. Headline news, we have gone back in time, holy Moses we're saying can it!" said Jess.

"Rory, even I have to admit you were blind. I mean I was basically drooling back then." Said Tristan. Rory smacked him playfully across the chest.

"Oh look what time it is, I have to start getting home." Said Paris.

"Okay bye Paris!" said Rory.

"I'll walk you to your car," said Jess. Jess and Paris exited the room.

"See I told you that I was a good matchmaker. They're perfect together! Ooo I'm so happy one match made in heaven!"

"Don't you mean two?"

"Two how are there two?"

Tristan pulled Rory's body close to his and said, "You and me also of course."

"Ooo someone's been listening to too many pop songs."

"Or maybe someone's just head over heels in love with their girlfriend."

"I like that one better." Said Rory as Tristan pulled her into a passionate kiss.

---Outside with Paris and Jess---

"Listen Paris, I know that this was just another one of Rory's stupid setups, but I have to let you know that I had a good time I really did."

"So did I, Jess. I'm surprised to hear myself saying that but I did."

"I'd like to see you again."

"Yea I'd like to see you, here's my number." Said Paris as she wrote down her number.

Then Jess slowly leaned in towards Paris and he lightly brushed her lips with his and said, "I'll call you soon."

"Mmm," responded Paris, too happy and shocked to actually reply, then she stepped into her car and drove off. Jess watched her drive off, then figured that Rory and Tristan would want to be alone, plus he wouldn't want to be the third wheel, so he headed back to Luke's.

---Currently Walking Around Stars Hollow---

Loralei was sitting in the gazebo, she had already had a huge caffeine boost at Luke's a few minutes ago and would be going back for more soon, but Luke had kicked her out for the time being because he "needed room for his other paying customers." Loralei sighed and flipped her hair back from her face. She couldn't figure Luke out. At times she felt as though she liked him as more then just one of her closest friends who happened to be her coffee supplier. At times she thought that he liked her as more than just one of his closest friends. But she knew they weren't right for each other. It had all been very confusing ever since the reunion with Christopher, and then the ending of the reunion with Christopher, she couldn't figure it out. She hadn't talked to Chris in ages. And Rory had Tristan now, she was spending more and more time with Tristan and her other friends. Loralei's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a motorcycle. Hmm she thought, Chris used to drive a motorcycle, and last time I saw him he did.

Chris had come to Stars Hollow; he knew he had to see her. He had to tell her. It was driving him crazy. He couldn't not tell her. Then he saw her sitting in the gazebo frowning softly. His heart beat faster, he loved that woman with all his heart, and he had for years, years and years. He got off his bike and started to walk towards the gazebo. Then he walked up the gazebo steps, Loralei didn't even look up, and he knew that she was deep in thought. He sat down next to her. She still hadn't noticed that someone else was there beside herself. He sat there waiting for her to notice. Ten minutes went by, fifteen. Okay he decided, that was a long enough wait. He put his hand on her shoulder, "Hey Lor," he said.

Loralei jumped, "What the hell! Chris where did you come from?"

"I've been sitting here for the last twenty minutes."

"Oh sorry about that. I was just thinking, pondering life that's all."

"About me." Christopher said his eyes sparkling.

"See there's the 16 year old Chris, with the highly inflated ego, similar to Rory's current boyfriend's ego."

"Rory has a different boyfriend? You mean not Dean anymore?"

"No, not Dean, actually Tristan, you may know his family, the Dugrey's."

"Rory's going out with a Dugrey?"

"Yeah shocking isn't it, I wouldn't have thought it could happen. Then again I wouldn't have thought I would have a Hayden's baby. But this Dugrey, Tristan, well he's different and he makes Rory happens, he loves her Chris, he really does, she just doesn't know it, but she loves him too."

"Good I'm glad for her."

"So what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you.and Rory of course."

"Of course, you wanna go get some coffee. Twenty minutes, geez I was planning on stepping out of Luke's for five minutes and then stepping back in demanding my coffee again."

"Sure lets go," Chris said, taking Loralei's hand in his.

Loralei thought to herself, 'Look at that, I should think about Chris more often cause then he just magically appears takes my hand and guides me to coffee. Too bad I can't marry him. Why did I say no when were 16 anyway, I've loved him all these years and now I'm never going to have him because Sherry has him instead.'

Chris and Loralei walked in, got a coffee to go, Loralei of course stopped to banter with Luke but then they left. They walked back towards the gazebo and sat down.

"Listen Lor, I came here to talk about something with you, and its something that's really important to me, and I need you to hear me out okay?"

"Sure."

"Well before I start what I'm going to say I'm going to tell you that Sherry lost the baby (I know its evil but the baby was holding Chris and Sherry away from each other! Tut tut!)"

"Oh Chris, hunny I'm so sorry. You must be devastated. How's Sherry doing?"

"I'm upset that I lost the baby, but at the same time I'm almost relieved, that's why I'm here to talk to you. And I don't know how Sherry's doing it, after she lost the baby she realized the only reason that we were together was because of the baby. So then she blamed the whole thing on you of course."

"How did she manage to blame it on me? I'm the reason she lost the baby, oo I hate that woman, I'm sorry Chris but she's one of those fragile, eww people!"

"I know Lor, I know. But now you have to hear me through okay?"

"Okay.I can't swear I will but I can try!"

"That's good enough for me. Lor, I came today because of you. For you. Loralei I have been in love with you since we were 16, before we were 16, longer then I can remember, I've been in love with you for 18 years now. 18 really long years. When I found out that Sherry was pregnant and I had just gotten you back I was devastated. I was the unhappiest person alive. You're all I've ever wanted, I thought that by becoming someone, more responsible I could have you. I know I hurt you when Sherry was pregnant, hell Lor, I know I've hurt you many times. But Lor, give me a chance, give us another chance, please Loralei, I love you, I know you're the one, I know that we're soul mates please."

Loralei sat there, not knowing what to say, a look of pure shock across her face, but then she smiled and said, "Yea Chris, lets give it all we've got." Then Chris swept her into an adoring kiss.

"What do we do now?" asked Chris.

"Well the inn's got an open room again."

"Lets go." With that they walked hand in hand to the inn. Loralei knowing she wouldn't be coming home that night.

---Back at The Crap Shack---

Rory had her head against Tristan's chest again while they watched the movie. They're bodies were intertwined with one another. Tristan looked down at her and smiled, she looked so beautiful, happy, and almost vulnerable, because he knew that he made her nervous, and he loved it, he loved everything about her. He started to tickle her.

"Stop Tris! Stop!" she said while cracking up.

"Someone's a little ticklish today."

"Please Stop!" Rory gasped out while laughing. Then she stood up. Tristan grabbed her waist and pulled her back down, now underneath him. Both of them fell silent. Both of their hearts were beating frantically. Rory brought her face up to Tristan's and both were swept into a passionate embrace. Rory licked Tristan's lower lip, asking to deepen the kiss. He let her and their tongues dueled together. Rory fingered the buttons on his shirt, and then started to unbutton his shirt. He took her shirt and pulled it over her head. They had skin on skin now. Tristan kissed her stomach, working his way up towards her breasts. Then Tristan looked in Rory's eyes and he knew that now wasn't the time, he knew they both wanted to but it wasn't the right time.

So he said, "Ror, we both want to do this, hell I've wanted to do this for three years, but not here not now, we both know that. I'm sorry Ror."

"I know Tris, I know, not now." Then she pulled her shirt back on and they snuggled up against each other and fell asleep.
