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. Hey hey! I just completely messed up my calculus and chemistry exams!! What fun!!! But five down, one to go - woo hoo! Anywayz, thanks for the reviews everyone! I feel so special!! Here's the next chapter. I'm still getting over my extremely sad attempt at calculus out of my system, so excuse me if it's bad!

Rory groaned and rolled over as she felt the sun's rays on her. Opening her eyes she was met with the face of a guy. A very hot guy - her Orlando Bloom picture - however, this caused her to groan again as she remembered the previous night's occurrences and her almost-kiss with Tristan - the other hot guy.

The whole point of this trip was to relax and be at peace. Instead, she was all confused and even slightly sad as she thought about the chances of Tristan actually wanting to go out with her. Which were zilch.

Sure he constantly flirted with her, but then he flirted with practically everyone else too. That's what he was. A big flirt. His type didn't go out with girls like Rory, but girls like that Cassy person they had met the other night. Or even Tatum. He was always flirting with her.

"Aaagghhh!!!" she moaned, covering her face with a pillow. "This sucks."

"What does?" Lorelai asked, walking into the room, coffee cup in hand.

"Everything," Rory mumbled.

Lorelai raised her eyebrows, but chose not to question her anymore. "Well, I have one more thing to add to your 'everything sucks' list. The itinerary queen has reared her head."

Rory looked at her confused.

"Your grandma! With her stupid itinerary," Lorelai elaborated, "I think she wants us to go sightseeing or something."

"What's wrong with that?"

"I wanna go to the beach!" Lorelai whined.

"You went the other day, and all you did was sit around. What was the point of that?" Rory asked, getting out of bed.

"Hey, that is an example of worthwhile time being spent," Lorelai answered, then upon seeing the look Rory was giving her, she added, "go get dressed."

As Rory headed to the bathroom, Lorelai couldn't help but ask, "Ror, what sucks?"

"Guys! And stupid ferris wheels."

At her a reply, a small smile came across Lorelai's lips, then slowly disappeared. "Guys? As in plural?" she asked. "And ferris wheels? Missy, you better get back here and do some explaining!"

"I knew it!" Tatum exclaimed. "I knew you liked him."

They were lounging around the pool area and Rory had just finished telling her what had happened at the amusement park last night.

"Shhh," Rory hissed. "Last time you made me say something, he was standing right behind me."

Tatum grinned. "And that was bad, how?"

Rory rolled her eyes. "Sometimes I wonder about you."

Tatum laughed. "Why don't you tell him?" She paused for a moment then added, "but don't tell him here. Tell him when you're back in Hartford."

"Are you crazy?" Rory asked. "I can't tell him that. Not now, not in Hartford or Stars Hollow, not ever!"

"Why not?"

"Because he's not interested in me," she mumbled.

"You are in some major need of glasses," Tatum said, shaking her head.

"He isn't," Rory protested.

Tatum started to say something, then shut her mouth as she tilted her head in the opposite direction, looking at something.

"What are you looking at?" Rory asked, turning around.

"Nothing," Tatum answered, quickly, but it was too late.

In the distance, Rory could see a familiar blonde boy, flirting it up (as usual), with a tall red-headed girl. Rory bit her lip and sighed, turning back to Tatum.

"What did I tell you?"

"Noo," Tatum protested, "that doesn't mean anything...I mean, it's Tristan."

They lapsed into silence watching the two for a while.

"I wonder what they're saying?" Rory mused.

Her eyes caught Tatum's and a devilish grin overtook the other girl's features.

"I wonder."

"Shhhh, they're gonna hear you," Tatum hissed.

"Ouch! These leaves are poking me!" Rory yelped.

They decided (or more like Tatum decided) that they would do some spy action. They were now standing in between a whole bunch of trees surrounding the pool deck, and directly behind Tristan and the red-head.

"I don't even know why I agreed to this," Rory grumbled. "The things you make me do. You're a bad influence."

Tatum shushed her. "I can't hear them!"

"...so tonight?" Tristan's voice could be heard.

"Uh huh."

"What?" Rory hissed, turning to Tatum. "He asked her out? He's asking her out! Why? Why is he asking her out? See, I told you he wasn't interested in me and you have a bug on your head."

Tatum's eyes widened and she screamed. "What? Ew!!! Ew ew ew ew. Make it go away!!"

As Tatum frantically tried to get out from behind the trees, she managed to pull Rory at the same time, causing them both to topple on to the ground, landing beside Tristan and the red-head.

Rory looked up to see him and the girl staring at them with confused looks on their faces.

"Tristan!" she exclaimed, realizing that she was hands and knees on the ground. "What are you doing here?"

He raised his eyebrows at her.

"Tatum lost her earring," Rory continued, after he didn't say anything. "Right T?"

She began to pat her hands on the floor, as if she were looking for the non-existent lost earring.

"Yeah, and we were looking around for it. It's my favourite earring, actually." Tatum added, following suit. "And then a bug fell on my hair. And I hate anything creepy crawly. Snakes and stuff like that, I can deal with. But insects? No!"

"Tatum, I'm not seeing an earring anywhere around here," Rory said, "are you sure dropped it here?"

Tatum paused. "You know what, maybe it fell inside the restaurant when we were having lunch. You know how I heard something fall, maybe that was it!"

"Then I say we go check inside," Rory said, getting up, and turned to Tristan and the girl. "We'll see you guys later!"

"Well, that went well," Rory muttered to a laughing Tatum as they hurried away from the bewildered couple.
