Finding her Romeo
Summary: The night of the play, Tristan never went through Bowman's dads safe and therefore did not get sent to Military school. Rory never told Dean that she was doing the play, let alone that she was doing the play with Tristan. One more thing… Jess never came to Stars' Hallow (please don't kill me)
Pairing: R/T it might be R/D for the first couple of chapters but then it will be R/T, I promise.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Gilmore Girls *tear tear*, but I wish that I did (don't we all?) They belong to the great people of the WB.
Authors Note: Thank you guys sooo much for all of the reviews. They made me extremely happy! I would really like some feedback as to how you would like this story to go. I know that this is just a short, fluff/filler chapter, but I felt that it was needed to get the ball rolling. I think that you guys are smart enough to figure it out, but if I have words in Italics then that is the person's thoughts. It might take me a few days to post the next chapter because I have a Biology report and an English report due soon. AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH, I hate homework! Anyway enough babbling from me, so without further ado, on with the show!
Chapter 1: The Coffee Maker is what!?
~ Plane coming back from Chicago ~
Dean's POV
*I can't believe that it has been two weeks since I have seen Rory. I wonder what she has been up to while I was away? She must have been really busy not to call or write to me…at all. Of course she has a good reason, this is Rory we are talking about. Man Dean you really need to calm down, I mean she loves you…doesn't she? Of course she does, she told you that she did and she said that she doesn't even like Tristan. *
~ Dean's car ~
While Dean is on his way back to Stars' Hallow he decides to call Rory. "It's busy…dam". *Oh well, I will see her when I get back. I think that I will surprise with coffee. *
~ Back at Stars' Hallow ~
Rory's POV
"Mom! The coffee maker is broken, and I need coffee…NOW!"
"Mom where are you?"
Rory walks to the stairs and sees a note.
Rory,
I am at the Inn. Sookie called me this morning with an emergency. Something about Michel and flying mints? Oh and one more thing… I think that I might have broken the coffee maker this morning.
"Why would you do such a thing?" Rory yelled.
Why would I do such a thing you ask, well it wasn't my fault, really. It wasn't making the coffee fast enough so I hit it… 10 times. Then the stupid thing just stopped. It had only made enough for 6 cups, and I was really thirsty… so I drank them.
"All of them, you drank all of them and you didn't even leave me any" screamed Rory
Yes I drank all of them and no I'm sorry but I did not leave you any.
"You could have gone to Luke's and left me the coffee" Rory yelled to the letter.
No I could not have gone to Luke's because I was running late. I will probably be gone all day so there is money in the kitchen. Go to Luke's and get something to eat.
~ Mom ~
Rory put down the letter and called the Inn.
--Rory/Lorelai intercut—
Michel: "Hello Independence Inn"
Rory: "Hi Michel it's Rory, is my mom there?"
Michel: "What do I look like her slave, I don't know where she is."
Background: "Give me the phone right now Michel"
Lorelai: "Hi sweets"
Rory: "Hi mom, how could you break the coffee maker on me, I really need coffee!"
Lorelai: "I told you Rory, Fred wasn't making coffee fast enough (Fred is the coffee maker if you haven't already figured it out) so I kinda hit him."
Rory cuts in: "10 times!?"
Lorelai: "Well, I thought that it started to go faster after the first 9 hits, so I decided to hit one more time because I thought that it would be better if I hit it a nice even number of times. Because who hits things 9 times, I mean that is just weird."
Rory: "MOM!"
Lorelai: "OK sorry, back to the story…so after I hit it the 10th time it just stopped and I couldn't get it to start again. And like I said before, there was only enough for 6 cups and I was really, really thirsty so…"
Rory: "You drank all of them and didn't even leave any for your one and only child"
Lorelai: "Rory, I already told you, I was running so late that I couldn't go to Luke's. I had to take the coffee or I would have died! Now you wouldn't have wanted your one and only mother to die because of lack of coffee…would you? "
Rory: "Yea, yea whatever I have to go. Bye, I love you, but you better come home with 4 cups of coffee for me."
Lorelai: "4…why 4?"
Rory: "3 for my half of the ones that you drank this morning and 1 for making me wait."
Lorelai: "Fine, fine love you too, bye."
--End intercut –
"Now what an I going to do? I don't have time to go to Luke's because I have to get ready because Tristan and Paris are going to be here soon to work on the play. Maybe I can just call Paris and ask her to pick up coffee for me on her way."
Rory dials Paris' number.
"No one's home … she must have left already."
*And I don't know her cell number, so I guess that only leaves one person*
She reluctantly picks up the phone and dials.
-- Rory/Tristan intercut --
Tristan: "Hello" *This had better be important, I was just getting ready to see Rory*
Rory: "Hi…Tristan?"
Tristan: "Hi Rory"
Rory: "How did you know it was me?"
Tristan: "Umm…I have caller ID" (he lied) *I would know her voice anywhere*
Tristan: "I see that you couldn't wait to see me, so you had to call me to hear my voice, huh Mary?"
Rory: "First of all, the name is Rory and second I was wondering if you could stop at Luke's on your way here and pick me up some coffee because my mom broke the coffee maker this morning. I haven't had any yet and Paris already left and I don't know her cell phone number"
Tristan: "Rory, Rory calm down. I will get you coffee."
Rory: "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Tristan: "Don't mention it"
*What no smart-ass remark…wait…was he actually being nice to me? *
Rory: "OK…umm thanks, see you soon"
Tristan: "Bye Mary"
-- End intercut --
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tristan arrives at Luke's and orders 2 large coffees. (Both for Rory of course!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dean finally arrives at Stars' Hallow. When he pulled up to Luke's he saw a brand new shinny red Ferrari. *Whose car is that? *
He goes inside to get coffee for Rory. *She is going to love this* As he is walking in he sees a tall blond walking out. *No that couldn't be who I think it is…could it? *
TBC
AN- that's it for the first chapter. Hate it? Love it? Let me know because I really am my own worst critic. Do you want me to put previews for the next chapter and/or recaps for the old ones? Well until next time.
