Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls (well duh)

Pairings: T/R P/J maybe L/L if I have the energy

Rating: PG

Note: Disappointing I give a short chapter and get loads of reviews yet when I post a long chapter (well long for me anyway) I get barely none! People! People! What kind of a message are we sending here? Do we want longer chapters or not cos I'm getting the indication that you guys actually LIKE the short little ones! Protest in your reviews - helpful suggestions or criticism is accepted

"Bye darling!" yelled Lorelai from the doorway "Say hello to my future song-in-law!"

Rory turned and glared at her. The chilly Connecticut air whipped her brown hair around her face as ran for the bus stop so she wouldn't miss the bus

'No Luke's coffee this morning how much does that suck?'

Rory stepped on to the bus wrapping her rainbow scarf tightly around her neck trying to keep out the cold that the start of winter provided

The ride to Chilton was uneventful. Rory walked through the crowded halls just wishing she was home.

Hey fingers touched the icy cold metal of her lock slowly she turned it around to the correct numbers

'Why didn't I just stay home today?' she coughed as the lock clicked open

Propped against her books was a long stemmed white rose and even better it was attached to a cup of coffee and a note

Shakily Rory reached for the cup and almost inhaled the coffee

'Mmm so good'

Rory slumped against the locker sipping her coffee she un-folded the note and smelt the cellophane wrapped rose that had a beautiful white ribbon attached

Dear Rory

I know how you really aren't looking forward to this week but let's just make the best of it

Tristan

'Wow'

Rory couldn't believe it

'Who knew something so sweet could come from someone as cocky as Tristan? No someone as confident as Tristan I mean sure he flirts with me a lot and still calls me Mary but this time its different, this time its almost… fun'

Rory smiled to herself as she shut the locker

Around the corner John and Amanda stood with a camera having just captured Rory smiling and sniffing the rose

"Wow I wish my boyfriend did that!" joked Amanda

"Sorry Amanda but I'm already taken for this week" smirked Tristan walking past

"And if you had your way it'll be for a lot longer than that right Tristan?" called John

Tristan just smiled

'Phase 1 complete'
