Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters except the ones you don't
recognize. The plot is all my idea. I don't own Yale either. If I did, I'd
be a very rich woman.
Summary: It's been about two years since Tristan walked away from Rory on that fateful night he was sent off to military school. Rory thought after that she would never see him ever again. She's about to get the surprise of her life.
Rating: PG-13. For now at least

"I think this is your last box. I swear you packed your whole house." Luke complained as he grunted and put the last box in Rory's dorm room at Yale. "The things I do for you girls!" Lorelai came up behind and wrapped her arms around his waist. "And you know you love every minute of it babe," she said as she turned him around and gave him a kiss on his lips. Luke turned to Rory and said, "If you don't need anything else your mom and I will be going now. I set your coffee pot up over there by the window if you're wondering. And I bet if you check, you'll see a fresh pot brewing." Luke kissed the top of her head and then turned to leave, so that Rory and Lorelai could have time to say good bye to each other alone. "Hey Lor, I'll be in the truck waiting. Take as much time as you need. Just remember I left Caesar alone running the diner, and you know what happened last time I did that!"
Lorelai gathered Rory to her for a hug. "I love you Sweetheart. Always remember that. Oh, and don't do anything I would do, while you're here. Like quit coffee cold-turkey, or wear white after Labor Day...." Rory looked and her mom and burst out laughing. "Okay mom, I'll remember you sage words of advise. I'll call you later tonight after I get everything unpacked. I love you too. And to quit coffee cold-turkey? That's suicidal." Lorelai gave her one last hug and then left.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- LATER THAT WEEK IN ENGLISH LIT 101:
He'd been sitting in the back of the lecture hall since the class began earlier that week. The only reason he had noticed her was she had come running in late on the second day with a cup of coffee in her hand. When he saw her he was shocked. He hadn't seen her in almost two years, but she looked just like he remembered her. He'd been observing her all week. She sat at the front of the class with notebook and pen always ready to take down anything of interest that the professor said. He noticed that when she really got into a topic she would tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear and chew on her pencil. 'Man....she is so beautiful,' he thought, 'Why did I ever let her go?' Tristan DuGrey had been musing this to himself over and over ever since he laid eyes on Rory Gilmore almost a week ago. He had told himself that today would be the day that he would gather up his courage and talk to her.
After class he stayed in his seat and waited until she made her way up the aisle. As she walked by him, he pulled the sleeve of her shirt. "Hey, what do you think you're doing let go of me!" she protested and then she saw who had a hold of her. Looking right back at her were the most exquisitly beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. "Tristan, what are you doing here?" she said in surprise. He smiled up at her with his dimples showing in full force. "Why Mary, I go to school here. I thought you were going to Harvard." Rory said nothing for a moment just staring back at him trying to gather her thoughts. "Well, I was but I didn't get accepted, so I went here instead. What a surprise to see you here. Wow. Ummm. So. How was military school?"
Tristan grinned at her and replied, "It was okay, but it was no Chilton. No girls whatsoever. You want to go get some coffee and we can talk some more?"
"I would love to, where would you like to go? I don't know my way around here yet."
"Well, there is this great little cafe' aroind the corner that I think you would like. Not very many people know about it. It has the world's best coffee though."
"That would be great. Let me drop off my stuff at my dorm and I''ll be ready."
"Oh, no need. You can just put your books in my car, you can get them when we get back."
"Alright! It's a deal then. Lead the way Bibleboy!"
"My pleasure Mary."
When they pulled into the cafe', Tristan walked around and opened Rory's door before she could do it herself. She smiled up at him and said, "Why thank you Tristan that was so nice. Wow, I think I found one of the South's last gentlemen." Tristan laughed at her and replied, "Oh Mary, I'd do anything for you." Rory rolled her eyes at him and started to walk towards the door of the restraunt. "Wait up Mare, I was just joking. Here, let me get the door for you." Tristan and Rory proceded to enter the cafe were they found a secluded table in the back with dim lighting. (a.n. very romantic in my opinion!) A waitress came and took their orders. While they were waiting for their coffees, Rory and Tristan caught up on old times. They filled each other in on all the small details of their lives since they last saw each other. Neither of them noticed when the waitress brought them their drinks. Somehow during the conversation, Tristan had managed to get ahold of Rory's hand and had been holding it now for almost the whole time. She had probably noticed but didn't say anything because she was hypnotised by Tristan's deep blue eyes. His eyes were like deep pools of sapphire. She could drowned just staring into their bottomless depths. (a.n. I know I went really cheezy here, but Chad's eyes are extremely gorgeous. Can anyone blame me?)
"So, how 'bout that coffee. You think it's cooled off enough?" Tristan joked as he rubbed Rory's hand with his thumb. Rory looked at him coyly and replied, "I don't know. I think we might just have to start over with new cups. What a shame. Maybe this time I'll get a iced latte." Rory glanced at her watch and then gasped, "Tristan, did you know we've been here for three hours? I have so much homework to do. We have to go. you can come back to my dorm if you want, but I have to get back." Tristan gave her his trademark smirk, and then said, "Alright, I'll take you back to your dorm room. Maybe we can order pizza or something. Actually I'll put the order in now so it will be there about the same time we get back."
"Tristan, you're my hero. What would I ever do without you?" Rory dramatically said to him.
"I live to please. Now, to my car and on to your dorm room." When they got back to the dorms, the pizza man was waiting with piping hot pizza. "That'll be twenty bucks man," the pizza man said as they approached him. "Here you go," Tristan said as he handed the guy the money. Hey Rory, let's go before the pizzas get cold too."
"Great idea, I'm starving. My room number is 217. I'm going to head up and turn the lights on and get the coffee pot going."
Summary: It's been about two years since Tristan walked away from Rory on that fateful night he was sent off to military school. Rory thought after that she would never see him ever again. She's about to get the surprise of her life.
