************************************************************************
**A Few Days Later** --Recap type thing--- The past few days had been really hard for Rory. She had avoided the market, in fear of running into Dean. And she had gone the other way whenever she saw Tristan at school. She was slowly starting to get over Dean, and she knew that soon she would be over him. After they had broken up she had realized that she wasn't really in love with him, she just loved him, and she always would. When it came to Tristan, Rory was confused; she didn't know what she felt for him. Sometimes she hated him, but that was rarely and more often now she wanted to be with him more then anything in the world. When discussing this with her mom, her mom had said, "Well sweetie, have you ever heard that those that drive us crazy are the ones that are the most important to us? Cause I know what you feel for Tristan, I'm not going to tell you but you'll figure it out in some time."
---Jump out of recap type thing---
Rory was closing her locker, happy that the weekend had started. Then she heard Tristan, who had apparently come up behind her, say "Rory."
"What Tristan? Are you here to torture me beyond end or what?"
"I'm going to go with the 'or what.' I just wanted to say that I know you don't want to go out with me, but as a compromise would you be willing to become friends?"
Rory smiled at the proposition, "Sure Tristan, friends it is."
"So now that we're friends, and now that I know you so well, I'm going to ask you why you've been so sad and out of it lately? Cause its not the Rory we normally see. What happened with Dean after the play?"
"You really want to know?"
"Yeah I do."
"Fine, I'll tell you, but you're going to have to buy me coffee."
"Sure," Tristan said, tempted to make a comment on how this could be perceived as a date but he knew that that would be pushing it. So instead he said, "I know just the place. Come on."
They walked over to Tristan's car and drove to a small coffee shop in silence. Tristan ordered a coke and Rory ordered 4 coffees. She gulped one down in one gulp, leaving Tristan staring at her amazed.
"I have never seen someone drink coffee that fast."
"Well you've never watched me drink coffee."
"So are you going to tell me about what happened?"
"Well it would have been hard to talk about two days ago, but now I'm getting over it so I'll tell you. Dean dumped me, it wasn't a harsh dumping but it was a dumping, he said that he would always love me but it was hurting us both too much to be together. And he said a lot of other things, but I don't feel like talking about Dean right now."
"I'm sorry, it was partially my fault."
"No, it wasn't your fault at all. You were playing the role and I was the one that kissed you."
"Yeah your right, its always Rory Gilmore's fault." He said jokingly.
"Shut up Tristan."
"As you wish."
No one spoke for about three minutes, and then Rory said, "Tristan, why aren't you talking?"
"You told me to shut up, oh wise one."
Rory laughed and hit his arm playfully and said, "Okay you can talk now."
"Really cause if you don't want me to, I won't." Tristan said sarcastically.
Rory grinned at him and gulped down another coffee.
"Hey, I'm sorry to end this, but I have something I have to get too," said Tristan.
"It's fine, I should probably be getting home, its movie night." She responded as they both stood up.
Tristan looked outside and noticed that it was pouring, "Ugh, look at it out there."
"Rain, rain go away come again another day--- (blah blah I don't know the words!)" sang Rory in a childish voice.
Tristan smirked and said, "Ready to run?"
"As much as I'll ever be."
They stepped outside and were immediately hit with pelting droplets of rain, Tristan put his coat over his and Rory's head and they ran towards the car. Both of them got there, soaking wet and gasping for breath.
"Wow I think I could have won the Olympics with that sprint."
"I wouldn't be surprised if you could."
Rory smiled and then realized how close her body was with Tristan's. She blushed lightly, but Tristan noticed.
"Nervous being this close to me Mary?"
"Not a bit, Bible Boy."
Tristan smirked, then he opened the door for her and she got in. He sighed, he was happy being Rory's friend, even if he was in love with her, at least he could have some connection with her. Then he realized that he was getting even more wet, so he ran around to the other side and got in.
"So you need directions right?" said Rory.
"That's what you think, but I know exactly where you live and how to get there."
"Should I be scared, are you some kind of stalker?"
"Yes Rory, be scared, be very, very scared," he said teasingly.
Rory smiled and then they started the way back to Stars Hollow.
---15 minutes later---
"God its almost impossible to drive in this weather!"
"Well you can't drive back up to Hartford in this!"
"I'll manage."
"You'll get killed. I'm not allowing you too, you'll just stay at my house for a little while, until the storm lightens up."
"You sure? Will your mom mind?"
"Yea of course you can come, my mom will be ecstatic to think that a guy's coming to movie night, besides Dean of course."
"Okay then, sure."
---15 minutes later at The Crap Shack---
"Lets run again," suggested Rory.
"Do we have to?"
"Party pooper, I thought you were on the football team!" Rory said, then she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Are you trying to suggest something Rory?"
"Everything turns into something sexual with you doesn't it."
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be me, the person you secretly adore."
"You're a pervert with a big ego." Rory said, the she got out of the car and ran towards the house. Tristan laughed, got out and dashed to the porch.
"Your really slow." Said Rory.
"I'm faster then you."
"Like I said you're really slow."
Tristan laughed and pulled his hand through his hair while Rory opened the door.
"Lucy, I'm home!"
"Rory!" Loralei said, dashing to the front door.
"What?"
"There's a new festival!" Loralei said squealing like a child.
"Another one, how many can Taylor think of, don't we have like 50 already?"
"Yeah but this one's cool! It's a masquerade festival!"
"What's a masquerade?"
"I have no idea, but it's a pretty word isn't it?"
"Mom if you don't know what a masquerade is then how do you know it's a cool festival, and how the hell would Taylor know what a masquerade is."
"I have no idea, but darling daughter, I have been trying to get coffee out of Luke for the past two hours but he says that I'm going to faint from too much caffeine. So being the darling sweet daughter that you are, would you call him and get him to bring over coffee."
"Nah."
"What?!?!? I raised you, I gave birth to you, I've sheltered you!"
"Yeah, but it's too much fun seeing you this upset!"
"Humph," said Loralei. Then she finally noticed Tristan.
"Devil Boy!" she screamed.
"Devil boy?"
"That's your name, oh well too bad you didn't know it. Rory why's he here?" Loralei asked with a sneaking suspicion.
"Because I went out to coffee with him, and he can't go back in the rain."
"Oh that's true," she said, slightly disappointed that it wasn't a date. "He knows it's movie night right?"
"Yeah I told him."
"Good, good, good. Well let's order pizza and watch!" Loralei said, dashing off to find the phone.
"She's umm." said Tristan.
"Hyperactive? Insane? Coffee-addict? Immature? All of the above?"
"All of the above. And now I see where you get your looks."
"Haha, trying to flatter me."
"And your banter."
"Shut up Devil Boy, before I get my mother to kick you out."
"Devil Boy? I like it. But weren't you calling me Bible Boy?"
"Devil Boy will do for now."
"Rory, Rory! Do you know where the phone is?" screamed Loralei from somewhere in the living room.
"Check the freezer!"
"Good idea!" said Loralei running to the kitchen, then searching through the freezer, "Aha, found you, you thought you could hide from me, but no, no one can hide from the famous Loralei Gilmore!"
Tristan watched with amusement, this was an interesting family, you could just sit and watch them and you would probably be entertained for the rest of your life.
"Yes Joe, I want a pizza with everything."
A second later, "What do you mean you can't deliver?"
A second later, "It is not too windy out Joe! I don't care if you don't take the car, I need the pizza, its Friday, do you know what Friday is? Its movie night! I NEED PIZZA! Bring pizza! I have been a loyal customer, so you have to bring pizza! No, no's can be said on that matter!" Loralei screamed then she hung up the phone and said to Rory and Tristan, "Pizza's coming."
"Joe was complaining?"
"Of course, he's just to stubborn to realize that I won't give in, I will get my way. I always do."
"He's not the only one who is stubborn then." Said Rory.
"You just ruined a fabulous victorious moment mini-me!"
"Oops, well I'm going to go change," said Rory. Then she walked out of the room, leaving her mother and Tristan alone with one another.
"So you love her, huh?"
"What?"
"Don't deny it, I saw it in your eyes on the night of the play and it's still in your eyes now. Your doing the lets just be friends, even though I want more trick, hoping that eventually you'll get more. Seen it, Christopher did the same thing to me."
"How the hell did you know?"
"I'm experienced sweetie, very experienced. Its all up here." She said taping her head. "Along with all the coffee in the world."
"You know that just made no sense."
"What didn't? The coffee thing or the loving thing?"
"The coffee thing."
"Yeah I know but being me its hard to go by saying stuff for more then two minutes without adding the word coffee to something."
"Interesting."
"Isn't it? But you do love my daughter don't deny it. And you can trick her, cause I know she feels the same way about you; she just doesn't know it yet. But if you hurt her I swear you will die."
"Your right, I do love her. But this talk is a little early. Rory doesn't' care about me that way, and she never will."
"That's where your wrong kid, that's where your wrong."
Then Rory walked back in the room. "What movie are we watching tonight?" she asked.
"Sleeping Beauty."
"Mom you didn't."
Loralei nodded her head, hesitantly.
"I told you no more Disney movies!"
"I couldn't resist, they're classics!"
Rory mumbled to herself but then sat down next to Tristan on the couch, ready to watch the movie.
