THURSDAY NIGHT

Tristan hadn't spoken to Rory since they had eaten together the other day. But he thought about her every second of the day. She was all he thought of.

RING-RING "Hello Gilmore-Danes residence" Luke answered the phone.

"Hey Luke is Rory there? It's Tristan."

"Yeh I'll just get her for you." Tristan could hear Luke's muffled voice call out for Rory to come to the phone.

"Hello" Rory sounded happy.

"Hi, it's me. Sorry I didn't talk to you yesterday. I was busy making reservation and I wen to see your grandparents. I was thinking that since our plane doesn't leave until nine tomorrow night we might be able to have dinner with them. I know that they want to see you and Little Lorelai. And they would love to see your mum, Luke and Luke Jr."

"So are you saying that you want all of us to come to dinner at my grandparents house tomorrow night? Have you already told them that you were going to ask me to go to dinner?"

"No I didn't tell them but I thought that you guys might want to see them."

"Well Little Lorelai and I will be there. Hang on a second I'll ask my mum whether she wants to come." There was silence on the other end of the line while Rory went to talk to her mum.

"Hello?" Rory was back.

"I'm still here" Tristan replied.

"My mum said that they'd come too. I don't think she really likes the idea but she hasn't seen them for a while so she might be able to handle them this once."

"Okay. I've got to go. Do you wan to call your grandparents or will I?" Tristan asked Rory. He thought he knew the answer but he was going to give her the choice.

"Nah, you can."

"Okay, well bye I'll meet you at your grandparent's house tomorrow at around six."

"See you then. Bye" Rory hung up the phone.

Tristan sat there for a few minutes before he picked up the phone and dialed Emily and Richard's number.

RING-RING

"Hello, Gilmore Residence" the maid on the other end of the phone said.

"Hi, this is Tristan DuGrey. Is Mrs. Gilmore there please?"

"Yes Mr. DuGrey I will just get her for you." The maid handed the phone to Emily.

"Tristan, so nice to hear from you again. What can I do for you?"

"Well I've actually done something for you. I've managed to talk you're family into coming for dinner tomorrow night."

"Tristan, thank you so very much. I haven't seen them for so long. How did you manage to get them to come?"

"I just told Rory that you would really like to see her and everyone else. She agreed straight away but I think she needed to convince Lorelai. But that doesn't mater does it? At least you get to see them."

"Thank you Tristan. What time should we be expecting you tomorrow?"

"I'll be there around five thirty and I told the others to be there at six. Is that okay with you?"

"Yes no problems. I'll see you then. Goodbye"

"Goodbye Mrs. Gilmore."

Tristan decided to go to bed. That night he had the best dream. He and Rory were on their holiday. They were walking along the beach looking at the sunset. He turned and faced her. Suddenly he was lost in her eyes all he could see was they blue. But the eyes weren't like they eyes that he'd gotten used to seeing in the last few days. They weren't sad. They were they eyes of the old Rory Gilmore. They were happy, there was no sign of pain. He leaned in and kissed her. When he woke he could still feel her lips against his.

BACK IN STARS HOLLOW

Rory was having a dream much the same as Tristan's. They were on their holiday. This time they weren't walking. They were just sitting there watching the sunset. She turned to him and SHE was lost in his eyes. His eyes were different; there was no pain or concern in his eyes. All she saw was happiness and love. Rory leaned in and kissed him. Like Tristan she awoke and could still feel his lips against hers.

For some reason the fact that she was having a dream about Tristan kissing her didn't scare her. She actually felt quite comfortable.

@ TRISTAN'S HOUSE

As much as he loved the dream Tristan knew that he shouldn't think about Rory like that. He thought that maybe if he hadn't invited her on the holiday he would have disappeared from Rory's life again.

THAT EVENING AT EMILY AND RICHARD'S HOUSE

DING-DONG

"Hello Tristan." Emily opened the door and let Tristan enter.

"Hello Mrs. Gilmore. I'm very sorry I'm late. I had a few last minute things to sort out."

"That's okay. The others should be arriving soon." Emily took Tristan into the lounge room to see Richard.

AT THE GILMORE-DANES HOUSE

"Rory are you ready?" Luke had finished packing Rory and Little Lorelai's bags into the car. Rory was just dressing Little Lorelai.

"Finished" Rory called as she walked out of her room.

Lorelai walked up to Luke "Lucas baby. I don't want to go see my parents. Can't we just say that something important has come up?"

"No. We're gonna go. You never see your parents and I'm sure, like Tristan said they really miss all you guys"

Lorelai put on her little pouting face. Luke just kissed her and took Luke Jr. away from her.

"Fine. But you owe me" she kissed him again and went to get some coffee to take with her.

Eventually they were all ready. And they left.

IN THE CAR

"Rory why did you get us into this?" Lorelai looked at her daughter.

"Excuse me? I didn't get you into anything. I asked if you wanted to come to dinner and you said yes."

"But I remember you adding the words before I leave. And I wanted to be there when you left so that meant having to go to dinner at my parent's house."

They arrived at the house.

DING-DONG

INSIDE

DING-DONG

"Ooh they're here" Emily stood and went to answer the door.

Tristan heard Emily open the door and welcome them all.

"Hello, Lorelai"

"Mum"

"Rory"

"Grandma"

"Luke"

"Mum" for some reason Emily had insisted that he call her mum.

"And my little babies" Emily took the two babies and started to talk to them.

IN THE LOUNGE ROOM

"So Mr. Gilmore are you happy that they've come for dinner?" Tristan asked.

"Yes. It is lovely to get to see them. I miss having Friday dinners with them."

At that moment Emily led the three adults into the lounge room while she continued to talk to the two babies.

Richard and Tristan said hello to everyone.

The maid came to the door that led to the dining room "dinner is ready."

They all walked into the dining room and sat down for dinner. Dinner was actually quite enjoyable. Emily managed to not offend anyone and Lorelai managed not to upset her mother.

When they finished dinner. Tristan and Rory had to leave to catch their plane. Lorelai and Luke were going to saying good-bye and Emily and Richard decided to join them.
