Note: I'll love Cinderella stories, and Disney movies, they are

all so happy. So if you see alot of simularities, just deal with it!!!

*******************************************************************

Watching her dance around the room reminded him just how

innocent she really was. She never turned into the stuntish,

stuck-up, rich kid of society. Which he was happy about. At first

that was what made him seek her attention, the innocence's, the

pureness, messing up something that was so different. But then

he realized that's what he needed a person who wasn't like him or

his friends, a person who would teach him that it was alright to

love life, that their was more than just the 'society' lifestyle

out there. She taught him to so much between their bantering and

him just sitting back and watching her. She was the one person

that saw him for who he really is a kid trying to hide the pain

that society put him through.

Rory was the girl that he went to military school for.

Sure he did commit the crime and all, but getting away from society

was making him a better person. He could live freely and innocently,

even though at times that was hard to do. This was his chance to

prove to her that he could be an ok guy, and to come to her rescue

like she did for him.

"What are you doing here?"

"Watching you dance."

"No why did you come here for?" Rory said trying to get

a real and better answer out of Tristan Dugrey.

"To dance with you." He said with a knowing smirk, with

her all tong-tied over him.

"What?" Rory besides being all tong-tied was also very

confused. Not seeing him for a year and then just showing up

in her living room entrance was so like him. "Wait let me

repeat that, WHAT?"

"It's prom night is it not?" Rory nodded her head.

"Even Cinderella got to go to the ball."

"Uh?"

"Your fair-god mothers planned you a night you never

forget." Tristan said while walking over to Rory and taking

the pillow that she was formerly dancing with but no holding

against herself, away from her. "Trust me, that's all I ask,

just trust me."

"But I have nothing to wear."

"Taken care of, right this way." Tristan took her hand

and led her up the stairs.

"Are you sure this is the dress?" Paris asked for the

hundredth time.

"Lane tell her, please. She stopped listening to me half

an hour ago." Lorelai said with a sigh and taking a seat in the

dress shop.

"Paris, you have to believe us. Whenever Rory walks by

her she looks at this dress. Last week when I came in to try on

my dress, I somehow convinced her to try on this dress. She looked

amazing in it, and her eyes sparkled and you could tell this was

the dress she wanted to wear for prom." Lane explained for the

second time.

"Other than that do you have an evidence, and proof.

Anything other than a sparkle in the eye I can go off of. This

is not as simple as choosing the color of ink to write you

application to Harvard in. If we choose the wrong dress the

whole night could be a disaster for Rory. Goodness Madeline and

Louise have been planning their prom nights since they were five."

Paris just wanted this night to be perfect for Rory after everything

that she did for her, after her own melt down. She just want to

show Rory how grateful she for her being in her life the last

three years.

"Paris calm down. We are so sure that this is the dress

for Rory. It is simple, elegant and red, so far from the blue she

is force to wear. She look amazing in the dress, and she loves this

dress." Lorelai said forcefully.

"Ok we will take this one then." Paris said

When Tristan asked her to trust him she at first had doubts.

She never knew what to expect from him. Rory wasn't about to put her

guard down around him. But when he led her up to her mother's closet,

and opened it, she felt just like Cinderella did when the mice and

birds surprised her with a new ball gown. The dress was the red one

from the window at the dress shop. When she tried it on she knew

that dress was made for her. It flowed around her when she twirled,

and she looked radiant in it.

"Oh My! Tristan how..." Rory was speechless.

"There isn't time for you to just stare at the dress, get in

the shower and get cleaned up." Rory turned back towards Tristan

smiled. And started out of the room, the dress in her hand.

"I'll be ready in about an hour." And she rushed down the

stairs. Leaving a smiling and very happy Tristan to just stare at her.
