So this is the last chapter. We've come so far. *sniff. I've gotten quite attached to this story. Ah well, I'll try to make up a sequel for this story. But I have no idea what to do for it! Any ideas… well… mail me at indigo_chica01@hotmail.com. I already have the title though, it'd be called 'Phase two; the next generation.' =)
For those that liked this story, you should check out my other story called 'Star crossed lovers'. It's quite sad at the beginning, but it'll get happier and happier! You'll see what I mean when you read it…!

Chapter 10
Tristan couldn't believe how his angel could have so much energy. She was zipping about the place; and dragging him along as well. That was saying something, because she didn't do any exercise, whilst he worked out at the gym practically every day.
He noticed that she liked going on rides that were calm and soothing; no ghost train rides or roller coaster ride for her. He didn't mind going along with her, as a matter of fact he enjoyed seeing her have so much fun and to see her smiling and laughing. Most of all, he enjoyed her being his. He would sneak in a kiss or two when they were stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel, and he could hug her whenever he pleased. It wasn't like last time, when all he could do was watch from a distance. That time, touching her would make her think he was playing her. And he did not want that to happen.
After the fifth Ferris wheel ride though, he got a bit knackered. He grabbed her hand, and pulled her close so that they wouldn't lose each other in the crowd. "Rory, I want to go on the roller coaster. I haven't been on it in ages. Besides, I'm sure you'd love it."
A doubtful look overcame Rory. She hated rides like that. She remembered when Lorelai dragged her to one of those rides when she was younger… it was pure hell. She was yelling like she would never stop, and to make matters worse, she puked at the end of the ride. Not a pretty sight.
Tristan noticed the internal battle going on within Rory, and said," It's okay Rory. We don't have to go on it if you don't want to."
Rory shook her head. Maybe she should try it again, after all. Besides, Tristan could always save her. He wouldn't actually ask her to go on the ride if he knew it was dangerous. Who knows, she might just end up enjoying it? "I'll do it," she said determinedly, and led them to the roller coaster ride.
Just as they were about to be strapped in, Tristan leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"Are you sure?" he asked again, just to make certain that she did not doubt this in any way. He wouldn't want her to remember their first date as a disaster.
Rory nodded determinedly, and held Tristan's hand.
As the carriage moved, Rory screamed (but not too loudly). Tristan gave her a strange look.
"Sorry, I was just practicing. I might forget how to scream when I really need to."
Tristan laughed out loud. Rory is simply hilarious.
Rory bit her lip as she saw the oncoming curve. They were going pretty fast by now, and it seemed like their carriage would go off the rails. Then, she let out a rip-roaring scream that totally threw Tristan off-balance and dug her fingernails into his arm. Tristan bit his lip, but bore the pain. He could live with it.
As they got off the roller coaster ride, Rory was beaming. "Wow, that was so much fun."
Tristan's ears were practically deaf from the amount of noise he had to take in from Rory. And his hand felt pretty numb. Oh well, if that was the price of being with someone like Rory, he could deal.
They had their fun with every single ride in the park, including the Tunnel of Love. There, they made out… but Tristan's hand did not wander to places they shouldn't. Normally, when he was out with the girls from Chilton, they would. That shows how much he respects Rory as a person, not just as a plaything.
They went to the cinema next, to watch Lord of the Rings 2. As they were lining up to get their tickets, Rory saw some Chilton girls out of the corner of her eye and dreaded the scene that they would make when they saw Rory with Tristan. Like clockwork, they made their way towards the couple, and coyly asked them if they were together. Tristan took all the questions that the giggly girls had to offer, and made it clear that he was with Rory. The news was going to be all over Chilton, but neither of them cared much.
After watching the movie, Tristan took Rory to a place where he used to hang out to chill.
"Rory, come here," said Tristan, and he took out a blindfold.
Rory protested," Tristan, it's already dark. It's not like I'm going to see anything much anyway."
But Tristan persisted, and finally she relented. He led her to a lake on his vast property, where he had already asked people to lay out dinner for two.
"Okay, I'm taking off the blindfold now," whispered Tristan, his voice sending shivers down Rory's spine.
Rory nodded, and when she saw the sight in front of her, gasped. "This is so beautiful. Tristan, I'm speechless."
Tristan laughed. "That's certainly something for a Gilmore, isn't it?"
Rory hugged him and kissed him gently on the cheeks, letting her actions show what she couldn't relay in words. It was the first time anyone had ever done anything quite so romantic for her. And she just loved it.
The surrounding area was tranquil, and the moon reflected off the surface of the water. It was so peaceful, and seemed out of place in the hectic life of today's world. Tristan and Rory sat there, at peace with the world, and finally, after a delicious dinner, he took her home.
At the door, Rory paused, pondering whether she should ask the question or not. Finally, she decided to. After all, she did want her mum to meet the fabulous Bible Boy. "Tristan, do you want to come in?"
Tristan nodded. He knew that he was more experienced than she was sexually, so it was up to Rory to set the pace. He would never do anything that she did not want to. Even if it did kill him.
They went through the door.
"You don't lock the door?" asked Tristan incredulously. It wasn't safe for a house where two women lived in for the door to always go unlocked. That was his opinion anyway.
Rory laughed at the dumb-founded look on his face. "It's Stars Hollow, Tristan. Everyone knows everybody else's business. No one goes around the place stealing."
She switched on the light to the living room, and looked on at the sight in front of her.
Lorelai sleeping on Luke's chest. They woke up at the sudden shock of bright light and stared at the couple that stood up nervously near the entrance. After a moments silence, Luke stood up, his face bright red.
"Well, I guess I have to go now. It's late, and Jess will be wondering where I am," muttered Luke. He kissed Lorelai goodbye, and walked out the door.
Rory was still dazed at the fact that her mum and Luke were together.
"I assume that the blonde god with my darling daughter is Bible Boy?" asked Lorelai with an amused smile. She and Rory would have a lot to talk about tonight.
Tristan nodded. "Hello, Lorelai."
Lorelai approved of him. No one who called her Lorelai at first sight could be that bad. And she learned that through experience.
"Hi mum," said Rory. She had finally gotten out of her shock, and was pleased at the fact that her mum had finally had the guts to admit that she was head over heels in love with Luke.
Tristan could tell he was intruding on their girl-time. "I better go now, as well. Mum will be wondering what I'm doing out late."
He gave Rory a chaste kiss on the lips, and walked out the door, into his car and drove off into the night.
Lorelai gave a squeal, and grabbed Rory's wrist. "I have so much to tell you."
Rory nodded. "Me too, mum. Me too…"
Long after midnight, a light was switched on in a house in Stars Hollow, where mother and daughter discussed the life changing events that took place that day. That day, a mother and daughter found true love with the people they least expected.
Wow… I always wanted to say " THE END ".
