************************************************************************
The next few months went by extremely fast. Both Tristan and Rory had tons of exams to take and during their free time all they did was spend time with each other. Time was passing by and they were both anxiously waiting for letters back from the colleges they had applied to. They had applied to the same colleges and were hoping that they would attend the same place. After all they were head over heels in love with each other. Ever since that night a few months ago their relationship had gotten even better if that was even possible. And now every little thought about Tristan being with her just to prove he could get her in bed was out of her head, completely wiped out of her head.
Rory got home, dumped her huge backpack on the floor and immediately went to get the mail. She took the letters out and shuffled through them furiously. Then she spotted two letters, addressed to her, one from Harvard and one from Yale. She shrieked, dropped the rest of the mail and ran inside. She sat on the couch just starring at the two letters, after she opened these she would know whether or not she had gotten in. It was all too frightening. She couldn't do it alone. She put her shoes back on and walked to the inn holding both letters. When she arrived Michel was at the desk as always and he was on the phone. Rory waited for him to finish his conversation.
"I'm sorry ma'am but we really don't have any rooms, if you had been polite enough as to have tried to book ahead of time then you wouldn't be dealing with this. (Pause while the woman spoke back) I am aware that you are coming this weekend but whether you come or not we will not have a room for you, goodbye Ma'am." Said Michel into the phone, then he said to himself, unaware that Rory was right there, "These stupid American people they just keep getting stupider and stupider how can I survive, I refuse to talk to any more of them."
Rory couldn't stifle her laughing any longer and burst out laughing. Michel spotted her and immediately became very flustered. "You evil child, your mother is in the kitchen." He said in his annoying French accent.
Rory walked into the kitchen laughing where Sookie and Loralei were talking excitedly and way too fast for normal people.
Loralei caught sight of Rory and squealed then ran over and hugged Rory screaming, "HE DID IT! HE DID IT!"
"Who did what?" asked Rory.
"Your dad proposed!" Loralei said holding forth her left hand in order for Rory to see the diamond that was on her ring finger.
Rory gasped and said, "Oh my god mom!" Then she hugged her mom again. All three women hurriedly dived in to the topic of the wedding and what it would be like; they were going to be married in a month, a very short amount of time. After talking about the wedding for about an hour Loralei realized that Rory was not a mind reader and that she obviously must have come here for some other unknown reason.
"Hey mini me why did you come here anyway?"
Rory grinned sheepishly then brandished out both letters. Loralei and Sookie gasped.
"I didn't open them," said Rory.
"Oh sweetie!"
"You've definitely gotten into one of them," said Sookie encouragingly.
"How do you know that?" Rory asked.
"Because she can read the minds of the admissions people at these schools! Duh!" said Loralei, "Come on lets open them."
"I don't want to though!"
"Then I'll open them!" Loralei said grabbing both letters.
"No!" Rory said grabbing the letters back and tearing open the first one she grabbed. Then she regained her calmness and composure and unfolded the letter. It was from Yale.
"Miss Gilmore-
We are pleased to inform you that you have gotten in."
That was all Rory (or Sookie or Loralei, who were both reading over her shoulder) needed to read!
"I got into Yale!" Rory squealed. Yale wasn't her first choice but her second choice; Harvard was of course her first choice.
"Come on open the one from Harvard," urged Loralei.
Rory opened up this one with more care, after all this one was more nerve racking. She unfolded it and was instantly hit with varying emotions with what she read.
"Miss Gilmore-
We are sorry to inform you that we will not be able to accept you. Though your grades were superb, your extra curricular activities were few and marked any real substance. Good luck in the future.
Yours Sincerely,
Harvard University." (A/N I don't know what a letter either non accepting or accepting from a university is like so basically just deal with it alright?!)
"Oh sweetie," Loralei said rubbing Rory's shoulder.
"It's okay," Rory said and she really meant it, so what if she didn't get into Harvard, yes it was the school she had dreamed of all her life, she had been waiting since the day she was born for the letter from Harvard. And it had come and well it had refused her and there was absolutely nothing she could do about it. Besides Yale was a great school, a phenomenal school, equally as good as Harvard and it was her second choice. Plus it was much closer to home and still in the same state.
"But you'll be close to home," Sookie added in cheerfully.
"Exactly," Rory said. "I'm going to go to Yale!" She was now excited.
"What a great day this has been!" said Loralei enthusiastically; after she said it she realized how cheesy she sounded and laughed. Pretty soon all of them were laughing.
"I have to get back home to do homework and call Tristan," said Rory.
"Bye sweetie," said Loralei and Sookie as Rory practically waltzed out of the room. Rory wouldn't have believed that she would be this happy if she had gotten dejected from Harvard.
Rory was walking along when she saw Jess. "Jess!" she called out to one of her closest friends. She surprisingly hadn't seen him in a while.
"Hey," Jess said walking over and giving Rory a hug, then he studied her, "What's got you so happy?"
Rory beamed and said, "Harvard dejected me!" Jess giving her a quizzical look and she continued, "But I got into Yale!!! And my Mom and Dad are getting married!" she screamed out throwing her arms around him once more.
"Congratulations Ror!"
"How are you and Paris?" asked Rory, she hadn't heard about the two of them for a while.
"We're good, you know she's going to Harvard."
"Yeah I know, how are you dealing with that?"
"Well actually I'm going with her."
Rory stared at Jess in shock, "You mean you got into Harvard?"
Jess laughed and said "Hell no, they wouldn't have accepted me if I offered to pay a million bucks for the tuition. I'm going to Boston College. And I'm really going along with Paris well because its going to sound so stupid but I really think she is the one I'm destined to be with."
Rory was flabbergasted by this but at the same time thought it was the sweetest thing she had ever heard so she told him just that, "I can't believe that you, Jess Mariano just said that! But it is the sweetest thing I've ever heard anyone say! So when are you going to propose!?"
Jess looked taken aback and said, "Propose?"
"Yes you know where you give her a ring and ask her to marry you."
"I wasn't planning on doing that soon."
"Ohh well good luck with that Jess! And we will be talking!!! You know you can't avoid me! I have to go call Tristan!"
"Bye Ror!" Jess called after her laughing. Propose he hadn't even thought about that, but now well now it seemed like the only logical thing to do. He smiled and walked away towards a store. (A/N you will find out what store and don't jump to conclusions though you are probably right)
Rory was practically singing while she dialed Tristan's number into the phone once she got home.
---Tristan/Rory Intercut---
"Hello?" said a very tired sounding Tristan.
"Ahh did I wake you!?" asked Rory.
"Yeah but it doesn't matter," he said now sharpening up a bit since it was Rory calling.
"Guess what?!"
"Do I have to guess? Couldn't you just tell me?"
"YOUR NO FUN!"
"You've told me that before." There was silence, "So I'm guessing I have to guess."
"You'd guess right!"
"Fine lets see you won the lottery, you're dumping me to go elope with the pool boy, you just won a life supply of coffee."
"I like the last one, but the pool boy one eww Tristan!"
"Sorry I couldn't resist!"
"I got into Yale!"
"Congratulations!" Tristan practically screamed into the phone enthusiastically and ecstatic, he had just found out yesterday that he had also.
"And."
"There's an and?"
"Yes there's an and."
"And what would that and be?"
"My Mom is getting married to my Dad!"
"That's great! It really is wow you must be having a great day!"
"Yeah but you know what would make it even greater?"
"What?"
"If you would come over."
"I'll be over in twenty minutes how's that?"
"Yippee see you later Triscuit! Love you!"
"I love you too."
---End Intercut---
Rory went and grabbed a book (Sense and Sensibility) and sat down reading, waiting for Tristan. Exactly twenty minutes later there was a knock at the door. Rory flung open the door and flung her arms around Tristan.
"Hello to you too," he said jokingly.
Rory kissed him and said, "You know this really is the best day of my life."
"What about the day we got together."
Rory frowned thinking about it a bit, and said, "Well this is the best day in my life that didn't have to do with you, so far."
Tristan smiled knowing she had tried to squeeze her way out of it. "I've got something to tell you too."
"Ooo let me guess!"
"I thought you got bored with guessing?"
"Only when you're the one guessing cause you're so bad at it!"
"Thanks for the compliment," he said sarcastically.
"No problem. Lets see oh I know you're eloping with the pool boy!"
Tristan was trying to keep back laughter and he kept a very serious face but his eyes gave him away anyway, "You caught me red handed."
"I knew it!" Rory said triumphantly. Then she engulfed him in a passionate kiss.
"So you actually want to know what I have to tell you?"
"I thought I guessed right though."
"Very funny Ror. But I got into Yale too, and I'm going."
"My day just got even better!" Rory screamed kissing him again. "We're going to Yale together! We can stay together!"
"Yeah we can, but right now that's not what I'm thinking of." he said backing Rory against the wall and kissing her deeply.
Rory giggled and said, "Well now it's not what I'm thinking about either."
They walked into her bedroom together.
************************************************************************ Wow that was a pretty long chapter! And I thought I had writers block with this chapter! STUPID ME! Hahaha! Well you can guess what they were going to do. Anyways I am sorry to say that this fic won't be going on for much longer. Yes I am sadly going to close it soon, there will be more surprises, a few more things here and there, but I am going to concentrate on my other two stories (You're my Romeo, and I'm your Juliet, and also Following The Orders Of The Stars). This story will be closing soon; it has gotten to the point where I don't have much more to do with it. Plus I realized that there aren't any conflicts in it, everyone's just happy and well its gonna end fairly soon. No more R stuff really besides mentioning of it but hey you can deal with that right?
Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease
