"Rory is this really called for?"

"Cinderella got to do it, therefor so should I."

"She also had glass slippers, but you aren't demanding those."

"Don't even get me started with the slippers. Now just one

more minute."

After getting her hair to look perfect, and her make-up,

Rory went back up stairs to her mom's bedroom to get dressed. She

wanted to make a grand entrance of walking down the stairs. Tristan

had been very patient but now they would have to hurry, safely that

is, to get there on time.

Tristan was just checking his watch to make sure it worked

when he heard Rory clear her throat. When he looked up he was amazed

at what he saw. He knew she was beautiful, even in her boring school

uniform, but tonight she was radiant. The red dress brought out the

blue of her eyes, and the deepness of her chestnut hair. He was

absolutely speechless.

"I clean up that good?" Rory said while blushing.

"Amazing, you look absolutely stunning." Rory slowly walked

down the stairs, and when she reached the last few Tristan offered

her his hand to assist her descent. "Shall we go to the ball my lady?"

"If you will stay my prince and not turn back into the cocky

beast." Rory said with a small smile.

"So we moved on to a new fairytale. I will always be your

prince." Tristan could tell that Rory was nervous about tonight,

but he was even more nervous. Yet they would brave the crowd together.

When Rory walked out her front door she saw the black limo that

was waiting for them.

"Has it been waiting for us all along?"

"Yes."

"But that must have cost a fortune."

"Not when your grandfather owns it."

"Oh, well never mind then."

Tristan opened the door for her and inside were many different

items waiting for them. The first was a corsage of baby white roses

with matching red ribbons. Also a white rose boutonniere, also with

a red ribbon for Tristan. Third thing for them was some refreshment

of, sparkling grape juice, since they were underage. Coffee would have

been preferred by both, but Luke refused to make more than one thermos

for them.

"This is amazing, I'm still not realizing that you are taking

me to my prom."

"Is that good or bad?"

"Rory looked at him straight in the eye and said, "Not sure

yet, but thank you for doing so much for me." She leaned over and

kissed him on cheek.

"So you aren't sure that I will be a good date, or if you will

enjoy your prom?"

"How about we stop asking Rory so many questions, when she

isn't even processing everything that is happening to her yet."

"Ok I'll stop asking questions. So when did you and Paris

become such good friends?"

"Nice change in subject, it's a long story but I'll give you

the shorten version. We spent the summer together in DC. Then we got

along so we could co-run the school council, then we argued, then she

broke down, I helped her raise up, and now well I think of her as a

friend since we have shared so much over the last two years. There

is more to it, but like I said it's a very long story. And since you

know that I am talking to Paris, and I mean more than arguing with her,

then she must of had some part in getting you here."

"I never said that, and technically if you guess I am still

not suppose to tell you, but yes she was a big part in getting me to

agree to coming back to Hartford."

"So you will be staying?" Rory asked with hope in her voice.

"No, I'm not even here as far as my parents know. They'll

find out eventually, but as of right now, they are enjoying traveling

threw Africa."

As they were talking they didn't even notice the fact that

they were coming up to the grand hotel that was hosting this years

Chilton Prom. The hotel went all out for the prom, and had a red

carpet waiting for the students to walk on. It was beautifully

decorated inside and out.

"Now I really do feel like Cinderella." Rory said as they

stepped out of the limo. They were a little late, but that was ok

because that meant they missed waiting in the long line to reach

the front doors.

"Well Cinderella your public awaits. Are you ready?"

Tristan said as he lead her towards the front doors that were being

held open by two doormen.

"As ready as I will every be." She smiled at him and they

both took a deep breath.
