Title: Spring Fling


Author: lannah

Summary: Rory, Lorelai, Emily and Richard head out to the Dominican Republic for spring break. Guess whom Rory meets?

Pairing: R/T of course!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I own zippidy-doo-daa of Gilmore Girls. If I did, then Chad Michael Murray would still be on the show and he would be mine (and even if they have nothing to do with Gilmore Girls, J-Boog from B2K and Orlando Bloom would be mine too! Heehee!). Anywayz, all the characters and all that fun stuff belong to the GG crew; the only thing that is mine is the plot (which will most likely turn out to be pretty retarded, so I give you fair warning)!

A.N: Man, I am loving all of this reviewing! Thanx sooo much guys!!!

An hour later into the flight, Rory groaned and dropped her book. "I can't read."

"How'd you manage to get into Chilton then?" was Tristan's reply.

She stuck her tongue out at him. "I'm bored. Think of something to keep us busy."

Rory immediately regretted that sentence upon seeing the smirk that came across Tristan's face.

"Well you know..." he said leaning towards her, "...there is a bathroom on this plane, so I could think of something that could keep us busy for a while..." his voice trailed off.

Rory pushed him away, as he laughed at the look on her face. "You know, I should seriously learn to keep my mouth shut when I'm around you. Everything I say, can be used against me."

"I know. I'm amazing," Tristan said smugly.

"Yeah...you keep telling yourself that."

"I will," Tristan answered, then proceeded to look around the semi-silent plane. They could both hear Lorelai and Emily, bickering again, with Richard trying to calm them down.

"Who are you looking for?" Rory asked.

"You know, I'm surprised Bag-Boy isn't here with you," he said, looking back at her. "I thought you two were joined at the hip...or the lips."

Rory shot him a Look. "His name is Dean...and you just had to bring that up, didn't you?"

"I'm sensing a little trouble in paradise."

"There is no trouble, 'cause there is no paradise," Rory said.

"What, did you two break up or something?" Tristan asked, curiously.

She didn't answer him and instead looked out the window at the wispy clouds beneath them.

"Oh..." Tristan said softly. "I'm sorry."

Rory glanced at him. "No you're not."

He couldn't help the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Yeah, you're right. I'm not."

She shook her head but smiled. "I thought so."

"He's an idiot anyway."

"No he wasn't...well yeah, he was...sometimes."

Tristan grinned. "See, I knew you would see it my way eventually. Who split with who?"

"I did. It kinda stopped 'working' you know?"

Tristan nodded. "Alright, enough of this mopey stuff." He paused. "Now that I think about it, I haven't seen you around much this year."

"That's 'cause you're too busy with your weekly suspensions and your weekly flavours," Rory answered.

"Keeping tabs on me now, Mary?"

"Shut up."

Tristan grinned. "Alright, let's do something."

"Like what?"

"Wanna play cards."

"Gee, that tops the excitement list."

"You got any better ideas."

"Cards it is. I think we should get my mom though. She said to come rescue her after a while," Rory said getting up.

Tristan laughed. "Alright." He paused, "Hey, I do not get suspended every week!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a lifesaver!" Lorelai gushed following Rory towards the "sitting" area on the plane. "One more minute with that woman and I would have seriously considered jumping off this plane. Without a parachute...and who is this?" Lorelai directed her voice at Rory but stared at Tristan.

"That would be Tristan," Rory said.

"Evil One?"

"Evil One?" Tristan asked looking up from shuffling the card deck.

"Evil One," Rory answered.

"Why didn't you tell me the Evil kid was hot?" Lorelai hissed at Rory. "He's hot! You never told me he was hot. Now I'm wishing I were seventeen again."

Rory flopped down on the couch opposite Tristan. "Ignore her. She's been deprived of coffee since we got here."

Tristan smiled as Lorelai sat down on the couch beside him.

"And can you believe I actually went this long without it? I need some coffee," Lorelai said, waving her hand at a stewardess who was walking up the aisle.

After placing her "order" for the "beverage of all beverages, the elixir of life," Lorelai turned to the two teenagers. "So what are we playing?"

"I say we play asshole," Tristan piped up, then glanced at Lorelai. "I mean...um...butt...hole?"

Rory had to bite her lip to keep from cracking up.

Lorelai glanced at him a small smirk playing on her lips. "I like you." Then grabbing the cards from him, she added, "make way for the president," and began to deal out the cards."

Alright, another plot-less chapter, but oh well! heehee. Keep up all the reviewing...I'm loving it! Oh yeah, and I didn't mean to make Dean sound bad. I like Dean. Of course, I like Jess better. And Tristan even better. But oh well.
