************************************************************************

Time had passed and summer was quickly approaching Connecticut and everyone was extremely excited waiting for summer break to begin. There was about four days left of school and well no one (surprisingly enough including Rory) was taking it seriously, after all exam week was over, the grades that they had gotten for the last semester had been turned in and well school didn't really matter these last four days. In fact most of the teachers had given them every class off. Currently Rory was sitting under a tree on the Chilton campus, reading because she had off the rest of the afternoon. She was incredibly involved in her book and as usual did not notice anything that was going on around her. She didn't even notice that forty-five minutes ago Tristan had sat down next to her and had been watching her the whole time he had been there. Rory turned a page.

"Chapter 13 already Mary? I thought you had just begun this book," said Tristan casually.

Rory nearly jumped off the ground with fright when she heard Tristan. "How long have you been here?" she asked.

"Long enough, you're adorable when you read you know."

"Someone's brown nosing."

"What would make you think that? I'm not sucking up just telling the truth."

Rory leaned over and kissed him, "Well in that case you are sweet."

"I'm not the spawn of Satan anymore?"

"No you always will be," Rory said before turning her attention back to her book.

Tristan started to whimper the way dogs do, knowing that it would annoy the hell out of Rory. Rory's eyes shifted over to Tristan, hoping he wouldn't notice. But of course he did and kept whimpering. She tried to block out the sound of his whimpering but couldn't.

"Ahh! You win! What do you want!!!!?"

"There are many things I want Mary, and on the top of that list would to make you a Magdalene."

Rory blushed a brilliant shade of scarlet before regaining her composure, "That Tris you will never do."

"You underestimate my charm."

"Your ego loves getting that little push everyday."

"And you love to wound me."

"Oh I'm sorry but I don't see any blood."

"Ahh Mary it's all in the soul," Tristan said patting where his heart is.

"Tris that's where your heart is."

"It's symbolic."

"Sure it is," Rory said sarcastically.

"Come with me please!"

"First you have to tell me where."

"What if I say it's a surprise?"

"Then I won't come."

"Fine it's not a surprise."

"Then tell me where we're going."

"But I want it to surprise you."

"You are truly confusing."

"Well you're truly insane."

"I have some sanity thank you."

"But the amount of coffee you consume takes away the rest of the sanity you have left therefore causing you to be insane!"

"Nice one Dugrey."

"I try Mary, now come on."

"Do I have to?"

"You want me to command you to?"

"Fine."

"Good girl," Tristan said as they stood up and he smothered her with a delectable kiss.

"What am I a dog?" asked Rory as they leaned into each other's foreheads (AN you know when like their foreheads touch and they kinda lean, yeah that thing).

"No you're too beautiful to be a dog," said Tristan sincerely.

Rory kissed him again and then they walked off towards the car.

Once in side Rory as usual started rummaging through his CD's, something that Tristan had gotten accustomed to.

"So where are you taking me?" asked Rory as she flipped over a CD and studied the back.

"That my dear is a surprise."

"But I thought you said it wasn't," said Rory looking up at him curiously.

"I lied."

"Now I won't ever be able to believe anything you say ever again!"

"I hope you will be able to overcome that."

"Yeah I just did."

"Wow someone's not good at holding a grudge."

"What can I say I'm like Ms. Nice."

"Here we are." said Tristan driving into a tiny driveway.

Rory looked around then looked at Tristan accusingly, "What's here?"

"The most amazing coffee besides Luke's that you will ever taste."

"Smart man you are! But where is the coffee place?"

"This way," Tristan said as he pulled her out of the car, and led her by her hand over to the back of the tiny building they had driven up to. Over the wooden door was a tiny circle sign that read, "The Pit."

"The pit?" asked Rory.

"Yes, the best coffee besides Luke's."

"You already said that."

"I know but I want to make up for the name."

Rory kissed him and said, "Well if it's got good coffee then why are we standing outside?"

"Why don't we go in then?"

"I think that would be a smart idea," said Rory but she just stood there.

"Aren't you going to go in?"

"You're the one who knows this place, you go in first."

"Okay," Tristan said opening the door. A bell jangled as the two entered the tiny room. It reminded Rory of what she thought the inside of an acorn would look like, the room was circular with a dome above it, there were two tables with little black iron chairs that had worn in cushions placed on top of them. There was a small counter where two old-fashioned diner chairs were placed and there were hundreds of pots of different types of coffee lining the walls.

"Have you brought me to heaven?" asked Rory who was clearly in awe.

"I could bring you a lot closer to heaven."

Rory hit him playfully on his chest, which only caused him to start kissing her neck. Rory giggled and said, "Not now Tris, the coffee is watching me."

Just then a jolly looking old women with wisps of gray hair that had protruded from her circular bun outlining her face, appeared. When she saw Tristan her whole face lit up. "Tristan!" she said, running over and planting a kiss on each cheek. "How are you, you little boy! And who is this you have brought with you?"

"Nanette this is Rory, Rory this is Nanette."

"Good to meet you Nanette," said Rory.

"I'm hoping that Rory is worthy of your coffee."

"We'll have to see about that. Darling how do you like your coffee?" Nanette asked Rory as she bustled over to start preparing coffee for Tristan and Rory.

"Black with one sugar."

"Good, strong but not too strong, Tristan I approve of her, now lets see how she reacts to my coffee." Nanette set a huge cup of coffee down in front of Rory and Rory's eyes lit up; Nanette chuckled softly and watched Rory start gulping down the coffee. Nanette softly whispered to Tristan making sure that Rory wouldn't hear, "Hold onto this one."

"Trust me I will," Tristan whispered back.

Rory had swallowed the whole cup of coffee without taking a breath. "That is the most amazing coffee I have ever tasted!" said Rory as she brought her head up from her cup with a wide smile splattered on her face.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it darling, would you like another."

Rory nodded enthusiastically.

"Nanette could you make it to go though because we have to get back to Chilton," said Tristan.

"Sure thing," Nanette said handing Rory a paper cup full of coffee. "Come visit me again Rory! And Tristan I expect to see you soon sweetie!"

"Oh I will! And I'll make sure he visits you!" Rory called back to Nanette. Rory and Tristan got back into the car and started driving towards Chilton, which was only about two minutes away.

"She was so nice!"

"Yeah Nanette's a softy. She liked you."

"Well I loved her and her coffee!"

"I could tell!"

They drove into the driveway. Both of them got out of the car and grabbed their bags.

"See you after school?" said Tristan.

"Definitely," Rory said meeting Tristan's lips with a head on passionate kiss. Tristan of course responded and the two stood in that state devouring each other for quite some time. Then the bell rang.

Tristan broke the kiss and whispered, "See ya Mary."

Both of them took off in opposite directions.

Three hours later they met again outside of the front of school after Tristan had been bored to death by teachers who talked about nonsense and Rory sitting out front finishing her book.

"Homework?" asked Tristan.

"None, you?"

"Me too."

"Yay then you can come over!" Rory said skipping to the car.

The two drove back to Stars Hollow laughing and talking the whole way. It was so easy for them to have a conversation and hold it up, it was quite remarkable.

When they got to The Crap Shack Rory burst through the door and headed straight for the coffee machine. When she finally got her cup of coffee she went back to the living room where Tristan was laying sprawled out on the couch. Rory walked over and sat down deliberately on his stomach.

"Oww!" said Tristan.

Rory smiled and said, "You're a big boy you can handle it."

She took a sip of her coffee and then put it down on the end table. Tristan grabbed her waist as she was about to sit back up straight and managed to get her down fully on top of him. They both laughed with their lips millimeters apart, Rory chose to close the gap and immediately they were both pulled into a form of pure bliss. They kept deepening and deepening their kiss, tongues exploring each other's mouths. When they had to stop for air it was only for a second before they launched right back into another kiss. After about forty-five minutes things started to take a different route then they normally did when they had been in this position (which was many times before). Rory pulled Tristan's shirt up over his head and he was immediately surprised and taken back from her actions but went along with it, after all this was what he wanted more then anything he loved Rory.

They continued making out and somehow Rory's shirt found its way unbuttoned and on the floor. They covered each other's upper bodies with smoldering kisses filled with affection. Rory was about to try and take things to an even further level when she thought to herself, 'Now's not the time Rory, it's not the time.' Rory stopped kissing Tristan and said "I can't Tris, I'm sorry, now's not the time, I want to you have no idea how much, but it's not the time. I love you."

"It's fine Rory, I love you too," he said, truthfully understanding as he wrapped his arms around her and intertwined their fingers. He didn't care if she slept with him now or whenever, he wanted to that was a given but he would wait until the world ended, all he wanted was to savor the moment. After lying there together listening to the rain that had now started they got up and put their shirts back on.

Tristan looked over at the clock and realized that he had to be back at his parents tonight for some stupid dinner in half an hour. But first he had something to ask Rory. "Ror?"

"Mhmmm," responded Rory who was extremely tired and would probably be drifting off in to sleep as soon as he left.

"I have a question for you. Actually a proposition."

"Proposition, big words Dugrey! Shoot."

"Okay, see over the summer my family goes up to Nantucket and well we go there for only a month, actually only I go there, my parents are there for the first day and then they jet off to Milan, Paris, or London, whatever city it is that year. So I was wondering and I know you have to check with Loralei and all, but would you like to come up with me?"

Rory jumped up and flung her arms around Tristan's neck kissing him lightly, "Of course I want to come with you! And I'm sure it's fine!"

"Good, now I have to go, love you," he said leaning in for one last kiss before they parted for the day.

"Love you too," Rory said.

Once Tristan had left Rory went back in to her room and called Lane.

---Rory/Lane Intercut---

"Hello?" Mrs. Kim's voice snapped over the phone.

"Mrs. Kim, it's Rory, could I speak to Lane?"

"Five minutes, I'll set the timer."

Two seconds later Lane got on the phone.

"Rory?"

"Yeah, guess what?"

"You're going to get me out of the Korean date my parents set me up on for Sunday?" Lane asked hopefully.

"No but it's still pretty good."

"Fine I'm done guessing."

"I'm going to Nantucket with Tristan."

"Nantucket?!"

"Yea!"

"But you're not a Nantucket girl!"

"Well I'm going there, wait how am I not a Nantucket girl?"

"You're just not, oh wait maybe you are, I might be confusing Nantucket with Martha's Vineyard, which island do they wear Lily Pultizer on?"

"Martha's Vineyard."

"Ahh you're a Nantucket girl.I think. But that's great!"

"I know! So what about this Korean guy?"

"Ugh like all the rest! Potential doctor, the works!"

"Figures!"

"Ooops I have to go, time to pray apparently, it's always time to pray but well now is a definite time, meet me later tonight?"

"Definitely, Luke's?"

"Sure!"

"Bye!"

"Bye!"

---End Intercut---

Rory grabbed a new book and lay in bed reading waiting for Loralei to get home.

Thirty minutes later Loralei's singing could be heard. "I feel pretty, oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright!" (AN for those of you that don't know its from West Side Story)

"Mom?"

"Mini me!" Loralei said rushing into Rory's room.

"Can I go to Nantucket with Tristan?"

"Sure, there are guidelines though, for him."

"Such as?"

"You have to get a tattoo."

"Mom you don't have a tattoo."

"Good point, you don't have to, no more guidelines."

"You know most parents would say no sex."

"See but I am a truly unique parent!"

"So I can tell!"

"How is Bible Boy?"

"Perfect!" Rory said her face lighting up.

"Perfect? Bible boy, spawn of Satan is perfect? What did he do to you today."

And Rory filled Loralei in on all the details of the day (AN I know its not the type of thing you share with your mother but they have that bond that makes them able to share that info).

Loralei squealed and said, "See even if I said no sex you wouldn't listen!"

"Mom!" Rory said blushing for the thousandth time that day.

"Don't mind me mini me! Ooo does that rhyme?"

"No it just sounds the same."

"You really lost the fun in that one."

"Apology given."

"Apology denied."

"What? The normal person usually says accepted."

"Well I am not the normal person and I felt like breaking out from the ordinary today so therefore I said denied but for that moment I said denied it was opposite day so therefore I meant accepted."

"Oh I see."

"Yes brilliant genius daughter now lets go to the holy temple."

Rory looked at her with a questioning face and Loralei gasped, "Daughter you have sinned, the holy temple, the form of provisions, the place where the blood of life resides!"

"Oh lets go to Luke's!"

"With a little more enthusiasm please!"

"Lets go to Luke's!" Rory screamed pumping one hand in to the air.

"Whoa big difference and way lame but accepted."

"Glad to hear it, Vamos."

"You speak Spanish?"

"For the moment."

"Ahh smart decision oh spawn."

"On wards!"

The two Gilmore Girls linked arms and walked out the door to Luke's.
