Title: There's Something Sweet
A/N: I wanted to name it "Something There That Wasn't There Before" because this is going to be based on the song from Beauty and the Beast, but I've already wrote a story with that title.
Rating: PG, perhaps PG-13?
Paring: R/T, of course!
Summary: Tristan is back from Military School.
Chapter One Recap:
"He still cares about you." Austin said, pulling out of the parking lot.
"Who?" Rory asked, a little confused, although she was sure he was talking about Tristan.
"Tristan. He loves you." Austin said, stating the obvious.
"I know..." Rory said. 'You know you love him, too.' Rory thought. 'Now wait a minute missy, you don't love him!' Rory thought again. 'Yes I do...' Rory said, getting in an argument with herself. 'No... you don't.'
"I do too love him!" Rory screamed at herself, receiving an odd look from her brother. Rory blushed a deep red, "Did I say that out loud?" She asked him, sinking into her chair.
Austin laughed, "You know Ror... the first step is admitting you have a problem..." Austin had joked before pulling into their driveway 4 minutes later.
Chapter Two:
Rory and Austin got out of the car and Rory hit him with her book.
"Austin, shut up." Rory said, laughing at her brother.
"Rory, it's okay... the doctor's don't have a cure for your problem yet, but it's nothing some DuGrey loving can't cure." Austin said, then added thoughtfully, "I'm not sure which T. DuGrey is going to be doing the loving though..."
Rory gave Austin a weird look, then started laughing hysterically. Austin grinned, knowing he had won this fight, while opening the door for himself and Rory.
"I'm going to go get ready for the party. It's already 5." Austin said, heading up the stairs, Rory in toe.
They both headed down the same hallway, and opened doors right across the hall.
"See you at 7." They said in unison, before slamming their doors shut to get ready for the party.
When Rory stepped into the room, her phone was ringing. She dropped her backpack on the floor and walked over to it, knowing the person wouldn't hang up.
"Talk to me." Rory said, taking off her shoes and heading for her closet.
"Hey Ror." Danielle Timberline said.
"Oh, hey Dani. Did you hear whose back?" Rory asked, holding up a pair of flares and examining them.
"Um, who?" Dani asked.
Click "Hey, that's the other line, I have to go. I'll see you around 8? Bye Dani." Rory said, hanging up.
"Hello?" Rory asked, once she had clicked over.
"Hey Ror, this is Tristan." Tristan said, lying down on his bed with one arm behind his head, the other cradling the phone.
"Oh, hey Tris. What's up?" Rory asked him, curiously.
"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you. I've missed you, you know." Tristan said.
Rory smiled into the phone, "You have?"
"Yeah, I have. A lot. I'm really disappointed that you're taken..." Tristan said, his voice quiet like he was trying to hide his pained one.
"Oh... you'll always be number one in my heart, Tris. I told you that before you left." Rory said, a sad look on her face.
"Yeah... right... listen, I'm going to go. I have to get ready. I'll see you tonight, Ror." Tristan said, hanging up before Rory could reply.
Rory looked at the phone in her hand strangely. Glancing at her clock, it read 5:30. 'Shit, I have to get ready...' Rory thought to herself, jumping off her bed and heading to her bathroom.
---Cut to Austin---
Austin had already taken his shower and was now walking around his room trying to figure out what to wear. He picked up his orange board shorts that Rory helped him pick out last weekend at Pac Sun, through on a wife beater, and put on some baggy jeans over his board shorts. He gelled his hair and put on his gold chain. By 6, he was ready, so he lied on his bed and flipped through some magazine that had cars on the front.
The phone started to ring, and hearing the water across the hall, Austin hopped off his bed and picked it up.
"Yo' talk to me." Austin said, in his "I'm a player." Voice.
Austin, in return, got a giggle and a sigh.
"Hi Austin!" Some girl said, sounding a little too peppy for his liking, but he grinned anyway.
"What's happening Randi?" Austin asked Miranda Devlin, a girl he remembered was on the varsity pom squad.
15 minutes later, Austin finally got Randi off the phone, reassuring her that he'd save her a dance that night.
*Knock
"Austin? Are you ready?" Rory asked, stepping into his room wearing low-rise hip huggers that stopped 2 inches below her belly button, and a sparkly, tight, brown peasant top with the Eiffel Tower on it, with brown wooden flip flops, and her hair in a messy bun.
"Rory, Rory, Rory... who are you trying to tease? Tristan, or Tyler?" Austin asked, wiggling his eyebrows, then laughing as she threw a pillow at him.
"I'm just playin' Ror." Austin assured, putting his arm around her shoulders, guiding her out of his room just as the doorbell began to ring.
"Let the partying begin..." Austin said, racing ahead of Rory and down the stairs.
2 hours later, at 9, the party was in full swing. Rory and her friends, Summer, Danielle, Morgan, Randi, and Teryn, were dancing in the back by the pull in their bikinis, laughing and joking, getting ready for a game of chicken.
Tristan had arrived a few minutes ago, and was watching Rory. 'She's so beautiful...' Tristan thought to himself, looking at Rory.
"Tristan, my man, just go talk to her. She's into you." Someone said behind Tristan, causing him to jump slightly.
"You know Austin, it's not nice to sneak up on people." Tristan said, before turning around, "She really into me?"
"Oh yeah. She was arguing with herself in the car and let it slip that she loved you." Austin told Tristan, before going off to join the chicken game. "Tyler's not here... Rory needs a chicken partner..." Austin told Tristan, walking off, then grinned when he noticed Tristan following him.
Rory approached Tristan. "So, you're my partner?" Rory smiled, seeming more at ease than she had in her Chilton uniform.
"I guess so." Tristan said, smiling down at her.
Rory let her eyes roam over his body. "Military did your body good..." Rory said, not realizing she had said it aloud. Tristan smirked, knowing Rory meant to keep that in her head. Rory's eyes bugged out.
"Did I say that out loud?" Rory asked, looking at him.
Tristan laughed, "I always knew you wanted to rub against me Mary." Tristan grinned, sliding into the pool.
