@ THE AIRPORT

"Mum I'm gonna miss you, I'll call you all the time" Rory hugged her mum.

Tristan went over and shook Luke's hand. "Thanks for doing this for her. You know she really needed to get away from that town. You are truly a good friend."

Lorelai was next. She came over and gave Tristan a kiss on the cheek and a big hug. "Thank you Tristan."

"Really it's no problem. I'll be calling you next week. I have something else I want to do for you guys."

Emily and Richard were saying good-bye to Rory and Little Lorelai. Emily saw Tristan standing there looking at Rory.

"Tristan, look after her and I hope that everything turns out right for you." Emily knew what Tristan wanted, but she also knew that he wouldn't do or say anything until he thought that Rory was ready.

'This is the last call for flight 88 leaving for Hawaii from gate 5 in five minutes.'

"We really must go" Rory walked over and gave Luke a hug. "Look after mum."

She then went and hugged her mum again. They both started to cry.

"Come on Rory we have to leave," said Tristan as he tried to pry the two girls apart.

He went over and took Little Lorelai off Richard and said good-bye to everyone. He took Rory's hand before she could go back to her mum.

They walked through the gate and Tristan said to Rory "You sure you want to do this?"

"Yes. I need to do this."

ON THE PLANE

Rory and Tristan spent most of the trip talking about what they we going to and they spent a lot of time playing with Little Lorelai.

Rory fell asleep on the plane. But Tristan didn't care; he got to look at her. She looked so peaceful and when he looked at her and her daughter together they looked so much alike. Tristan knew he was a very lucky person to get to be friends with Rory.

While Tristan was imagining what a life with Rory would be like Rory was dreaming about what a life with Tristan would be like. She dreamt that Jess came and told her to move on. He told he that she should be with Tristan. If he was able to make her and their daughter happy then she should go for it.

Rory woke up just before the plane landed. She didn't know whether that dream was Jess' way of saying everything that he needed to say or her hoping that he would approve.

She excused herself and went to the bathroom. She looked at herself I the mirror and decided that she was going to say good-bye to Jess when they got to Hawaii. She knew that he would tell her that life goes on. She would never forget him. They had a daughter together, but if she didn't move on she would become a grumpy old woman who would regret everything. And that wouldn't make Jess happy.

The plane landed soon after Rory got out of the bathroom.

AT THE HOTEL

Tristan had gotten them the best rooms in the best hotel in Hawaii. He also managed to find someone to look after Little Lorelai while they went for walks.

Rory had decided that she would go and say good-bye to Jess that night. She went down to the beach and sat there. She took a picture of him with her. She buried it in the sand and put flowers on top. She sat there and just looked out at the ocean. She remembered what Jess has said to them when they were on the beach. He told her 'our love is stronger than anything. Nothing will stop us from loving each other. Even if anything happens we will remember each other.' She knew that he was right, but what would he think if she just sat around all day wishing he were there.

"I'm gonna do it tomorrow night" she said aloud. She stood up and walked back to the hotel. Tristan was playing with Little Lorelai. He's so good to her Rory thought. Tristan had been shopping and had come back with bags full of clothes and toys for Little Lorelai.

"Hi, I'm gonna go to bed. I'm pretty tired. Will you put her to sleep when you want to please?" Rory asked Tristan.

"Yeh. Have a good sleep" he stood up and walked over to her and gave her a hug.

Rory dreamt about Jess that night. He told he that she was making the right decisions. She should try to keep him. He would make a good father and husband.

Tristan was having a dream. It was a wedding. Someone was walking down he isle. He couldn't see her face and there was a groom standing at the front with his best man. They had their backs turned. Then they turned around. The groom was Tristan and the best man was Jess. He then saw the bride's face. It was Rory. Did this mean something? Was the reason that Jess wanted Tristan to let Rory know how he felt?

5:00 am SUNDAY

Tristan woke up. He heard Little Lorelai crying from in Rory's room. It was about five am. He got out of bed and went to see what was wrong. He knocked on Rory's door. She opened the door.

"Tristan, what's wrong?" she asked seeing the worry in his face.

"I heard Little Lorelai crying and thought that something had happened."

"No, nothing's wrong. She just needed her nappy changed. That's all. Do you want to hold her?"

"Sure. I'll take her back to my room and you can get some more sleep."

"Thanks." Tristan took Little Lorelai and left the room. He took her back to his room. They sat on the floor and Tristan took out a purple teddy bear that he'd brought her.

She looked at him. "Dada" she said.

"No dada's not here. But he's watching over you all the time."

Little Lorelai was a smart little girl and she'd learnt how to say his name it wasn't perfect but it still sounded cute. "Dada Drisan."

Rory went back to sleep and she had the same dream as Tristan. It was the wedding dream. She now knew that Jess was definitely saying that he wanted her to be with Tristan.

10:00am SUNDAY

Rory and Tristan had taken Little Lorelai down to the beach for a swim. Tristan and Little Lorelai were playing in the water while Rory sat on the beach watching.

A woman came up to Rory and said, "you have such a beautiful daughter and your husband is so good with her."

"Oh, he's not my husband. My husband died a few months ago. Tristan is just a friend who is helping me. But I do have hopes that one day he might be my husband."

"Well, hope that works out for you. You sound like you deserve it." With that the woman left Rory to watch the two people who had helped her move on with her life, play in the water."
