Hello People!  I hope you've been checking back to see if I've updated…well actually, I haven't updated in HALF A YEAR!  It says I last update 9-16-01, and I'm on SPRING BREAK now, so I thought of what I'd like to write for this chapter. 

Okay, Gilmore Girls doesn't belong to me DUH!  I don't own anything…you know the drill…

            "Mom, I'm going out to Tristan's for that project now."  Rory said gathering her things and getting ready to leave. 

            "Alright, take your time on it; you don't have to be home too early."  Lorelai said.  "I'll probably be at Luke's around dinner time, so meet me there if I'm not home when you get back." 

            "Okay, will do Mom."  Rory said slipping out the door.

(Tristan's house)

Rory knocks on the door of the gigantic house.

Door opens, Tristan answers

            "Hey Rory." 

            "Hey Tris."

            "Well, come on in."  Tristan said.  "We can either work on the Spanish project in the den or the library." 

            "And you want me to choose?"  Rory asked.

            "Yeah" Tristan replied.

            "Let's go to your library."

            "Alright, follow me then."  Tristan said leading the way.

            "Wow, Tristan you have a really nice house, and a huge book collection."  Rory said eyeing the huge spirals of stairs leading to many sections of books.

            "Yeah, I've got everything from classical literature to resource books."  Tristan said knowing Rory would be fascinated.

            "Really?  I'd love to borrow some of them if you don't mind."  Rory said.  "It costs way too much money to buy some of the books because they only come in hardcopy."

            "Yeah, you can definitely borrow them anytime you like."  Tristan said. 

            "Well, let's start working."  Rory said.

            "Yeah, lets."  Tristan replied.

After working on the project for 3 hours, they pair was getting tired.  It was almost 7o'clock and they were only half way done with the project. 

            "Man, I'm tired."  Rory said in between yawns.  "I think we'll need to complete this tomorrow." 

            "Yeah, I agree."  Tristan said.  "Are you busy at all tomorrow?" 

            "I don't think I have any plans."  Rory said getting up from lying on her stomach. 

            "Alright, how about coming over around one in the afternoon."  Tristan suggested.

            "Okay."  Rory said.  "Tristan, I have a favor to ask you." 

            "Sure, anything."

            "Well, since you're not busy right now."  Rory started."  And there's traffic, and being not so good at driving in traffic, would you drive me home?"

            "Of course."  Tristan said grabbing his jacket.

            Gilmore Residence

            "Mom?"  Rory said opening the front door.  "Are you home?" 

            "Ror? " Lorelai asked.

            "Yeah, I thought you'd be at Luke's." 

            "I waited there for you for like hours, but you never came."  Lorelai complained frowning.

            "Sorry, there was traffic."  Rory said hugging her mother.

.           "That's alright."  Lorelai said as if nothing happened.  "We can still go back to Luke's right now."  Lorelai got her jacket.  "Oh hey Tristan!  Good to see you again."

            "Same Lorelai, it's always a pleasure bumping into you."  Tristan said trying to work his charm.

            "We were just heading to Luke's, if you want to join us."  Lorelai offered. 

            "Umm, maybe another time, but thanks."  Tristan replied.  "But before you go, could I have a moment with you Lorelai?" 

            "Sure hon, what's up"  Lorelai said stepping aside.

            "Yeah, you said today was going to be a "courting" day, remember?" 

            "Oh my goodness gracious."  Lorelai cursed.  "I totally forgot."  After thinking for a minute she said,"  But babe, do you really think you still need the lessons?" 

            "I dunno."  Tristan smirked.  

            "You're great with the ladies, it was a natural born skill for you."  Lorelai said winking.  "Just go slow and have patience with Rory." 

            "Okay, that's for sure."  Tristan told her.

            "If you're having major problems then we'll meet."  Lorelai offered.  "Alright?" 

            "Perfect, thank you Lorelai." 

            "Very welcome, thanks for driving Rory home."  Lorelai finished.

            I hope that's not too disappointing.  I'll try to update more often.  I know there were mistakes EVERYWHERE but I wanted to get the ch. out, so yeah.  Review!
