Chapter 13: Back to School/Anniversaries
"Rory.get up," she heard someone saying her name, trying to attain the arduous task of waking Rory Gilmore up from slumber. She groaned muttering, "Five more minutes, mom,"
"I sure hope I'm not your mom,"
"Coffee," she replied ignoring his flippant reply. A warm cup was handed to her and she drank it all in seconds. He laughed at her expression as she opened her eyes. "You drooled last night," Tristan teased as Rory placed the coffee cup on her bedside table as he wiped it off her chin. "At least I don't talk about dating Barbie's in my sleep,"
"I do not dream about Barbie's!" he cried out indigently. "I only talk about dating Rory's," she laughed at the lame comment when Lorelai suddenly cried out "I smell coffee!" She soon appeared in jean cut-offs, a pink tie- dyed shirt and cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, similar to the outfit she wore on Rory's first day of Chilton. "Lookie here at this little lady," drawled Tristan while she tipped her hat at him and grabbed some coffee. "Where's the rodeo, Mom?" Rory teased. "Let me see, where are the baby pictures of Rory? And the list of embarrassing stories not to be told Tristan list?"
"Shutting up now," Rory said quickly. "Tristan, get out of my daughter's room so she can change and I won't have to remove a certain body part that could have some use in the future,"
"Coming!" he hurried out of Rory's room and closed the door behind him. "Good boy!" she complimented pausing for a moment. "Now, sit," and so he sat. She smiled "Your like a dog!" she cried out. "I've always wanted a pet you know.this will be good!"
"Drop me off here," Rory said suddenly. "What? No, you have crutches!" he protested. "Tristan I'll be your 'official girlfriend' next week and I don't want to be labeled as one of 'Tristan's flings', because I'm not,"
"I know," he replied. "See you soon," she promised kissing him softly hoping that it would last her all day. "Love You, Rory,"
"Love you too," she whispered before slipping out of the car and shutting the door. It was going to be a long day for both Rory Gilmore and Tristan DuGrey.
Tristan got to his locker before Rory even entered Chilton's courtyard. He was standing at his locker waiting for Rory to appear when Summer casually 'bumped' into Tristan. "Hey Tristan," she purred inching closer to him. "Hello Summer," he greeted politely, yet uneasily. "How about we study this afternoon?" she suggest grabbing his tie and turning him around as if he were the instigator of their little 'meeting'. "Sorry, I already promised someone I'd study with them," he said pulling Summer's hand off of his tie with practiced ease. "Then how about a rendezvous at lunch?" she suggested the smirk on her lips obvious meaning she wasn't talking 'lunch' she was talking about making out. "I'm seeing someone,"
"That's never been a problem before,"
"That was different," he said gruffly not wanting to relive his past Chilton years with Summer no less. "Excuse me," interrupted Rory with a sweet smile at the girl. "Tristan do you think you could help me with my locker?"
"No problem," he said flashing a charismatic smile at both girls. "Thank you," he muttered making Rory laugh. "She was all over you," Rory said disgusted while Tristan opened her locker. "Tristan, you're my hero!" she said faking a southern belle's accent. "Gag me," said Paris as she rolled her eyes. "Hello Paris," the two greeted in unison. "I'll see you both at the Franklin meeting today, right?" she asked her tone clipped. "Yeah," Rory replied for the two of them as Tristan loaded Rory's bags with books. "Thanks," she told him as he carried it for her but then before they got into the class he put it on her back.so no one at Chilton would get any ideas. "Love you," Rory whispered in his ear as they entered class. Tristan saw Summer sitting on his desk and he let out a frustrated groan. Rory shot him a sympathetic look as she took her seat as well. "Your sitting on my desk," he said loudly. She spun around making sure her Chilton skirt flipped up just enough to reveal her black lace lingerie. "Sorry," she faked an apology while she hopped off his desk and made her way to her own shaking her ass the entire time. He rolled his eyes while Rory muttered "Slut," making Tristan smile. The bell rang signaling the start of first period.
Five Days Later:
"Where are we going, Tristan?" Rory asked after they settled in the horse drawn sleigh. "You'll see,"
"I can't believe we got out of my grandparent's Christmas party," she said with a laugh. "What can I say? My charms work for all Gilmore women," he teased. "Your grandparents, huh?" came her reply. "Yeah,"
"Good for them," she said with a grin. The sleigh stopped in front of the gazebo for Rory to see a picnic dinner spread out before them. "It's wonderful," she said in awe at the sweet gesture. "Happy Two Week Anniversary," he whispered into her silky hair. "Thank You-for everything," she said softly leaning into Tristan and kissing him. They sat and ate the wonderful food courtesy of Luke's, of course. "Can't wait for our one month anniversary," she teased. "Neither can I since it will be your turn then," he teased lightly. "Do you want to dance?" he offered suddenly. "Thought you'd never ask," she replied as he helped her up and held her close to him as she rested her head on his shoulder. In the middle of their dance Tristan accidentally kicked over one of the candles causing the blanket to burst into flames, it soon caught fire to the gazebo making both teenagers run from the gazebo laughing. An hour or so later they came back to survey the damage to find the gazebo in ashes. Taylor Doose was standing in front of it mourning the loss of his beloved gazebo. "I'll re-build it," Tristan spoke up. "Really?" Taylor asked hopefully. "Yes, I'll have my mother write up a check tomorrow,"
"Fantastic!" cried out Taylor and he was off running. "Quick, take a scoop of the ashes," he whispered. Quickly she filled up two bags for them: one for her 'Tristan box' and one for his 'Rory box'. "Luke and my mom are back," she said pointing to the diner. They walked over to Luke's to hear Lorelai's theory of the burnt gazebo. "Aliens came and they thought a gazebo must represent 'kill all the aliens' and so they burned it," Tristan, Luke and Rory all laughed. "I think two teenagers were dancing and someone--," Rory paused to smack Tristan's arm. "Knocked over the candle and burned the gazebo!"
"You truly are evil," Lorelai, said the admiration in her voice obvious. "But I'm rebuilding it," Tristan told her. They all laughed and stared at the ashes of the old gazebo wondering what the new one would look like.
Coming Up:
-In the Next Chapter Rory and Tristan will reveal themselves as a couple causing a controversy in the Chilton gossip.
-2 Chapters away: the arrival of Jess Mariano.
