Rory walked into to school hoping not to have to see Tristan. Today and tonight was all about her mother and Luke. She could not think about him because thinking about him caused her to lose control of what she was doing and she couldn't stand to do that. She walked up to her locker and opened it. So far so good, no Tristan.
"Rory, can I ask you something?"
Rory turned around and was shocked to see Paris standing behind her. "What do you want? To scream at me some more, maybe?" She asked sarcastically.
"No, wasn't planning on it. Actually I was hoping you could answer some questions about your friend, Jess." Paris said nervously.
"Why do you want to know about Jess?" Rory asked suspiciously.
"Because I just do that is all. Can't you tell me." Paris asked annoyed.
"Not until you tell me why you want to know." Rory said.
"Ok, ok he asked me to this party tonight for his uncle." Paris said giving up.
"He did? Huh, he didn't mention that to me but knowing Jess, he probably thought that this would be a good surprise." Rory said smiling.
"But I didn't tell him yes."
"Why not?" Rory asked confused.
"Because he's not… you know…." Paris started to say.
"He's not a future Harvard or Yale graduate? Because he has no goals in life what so ever?" Rory asked smiling.
"Yeah, I guess, I just usually look for guys who are a little bit more ambitious."
"Well Jess isn't ambitious in anything as far as I know but if you really like him, then go."
"I never said I liked him."
"Ok well then if you even can stand be in the same room as him, go. What do you have to lose?"
"That's what I'm worried about, what I'm going to lose." Paris said leaning up against Rory's locker.
"I know exactly what you mean." Rory said.
"So are our plans still on for tonight?" Sookie asked Lorelai as Lorelai came into the kitchen.
"Yeah, it'll be nice to get out for a change." Lorelai said smiling.
"It'll be just a girls' night. I think you need that."
"I do, so what do you have planned? And how are you getting away from Jackson?"
"Well we're meeting at Luke's."
"No, I refuse to go there."
"Lorelai…."
"Sookie, I don't want to and I'm not."
"We will be there for two seconds tops, is that too much to ask?" Sookie begged.
"No, I'll meet you there." Lorelai said mad.
Rory and Paris were sitting at a table talking.
"So are you going to ask anyone?" Paris asked.
"Why would I?" Rory asked confused.
"Well since Jess is taking me, you're going to kind of be by yourself if you don't invite someone."
"And who would I invite?"
"I don't know there's got to be someone in this school you don't mind going with. Tristan, maybe?"
"Did I just hear my name?" Tristan asked walking up.
"No, you didn't." Rory said speaking up before Paris could talk.
"I'm going to go." Paris said getting up. She looked at Rory. "Think about." She said as she left.
Tristan sat down where Paris had just gotten up. "So what does Paris want you to think about?"
"Nothing that involves you." Rory said annoyed.
"I don't believe you."
"Why?"
"Because I can always tell when you are lying to me, you get this look."
"I don't get a look."
"Yeah you do. So why are you lying to me about this?"
"Because…. Because well since I can't lie to you I might as well tell you Paris wants me to ask you to a party that is being thrown for my mother and her boyfriend." Rory blurted out.
"So are you?"
"I don't know. I'm not sure if you'd say yes."
"No, you're lying again because you'd know I'd say yes that's why you aren't sure if you want to ask me."
"Ok stop that! It's getting annoying."
"Sorry but I don't like being lied to."
"Either do I"
"So don't."
"Ok fine, will you go with me to the party tonight?" Rory asked giving up.
Tristan smiled. "What time do I meet you?"
"So this is what this place looks like when it's all done up." Emily said walking into Luke's.
"Mrs. Gilmore, you're early." Luke said shocked to see her.
"Well I wanted see how things were going here."
"They're going fine. Is there something I can get you?"
"No, unless you're planning on serving up an explanation."
"An explanation?"
"Yes, I'm guessing you're planning on proposing to my daughter tonight, you wouldn't have invited me if you weren't. I was just wondering if you really think she'd go though with it this time."
"I hope she would. But I don't really know. Do you want her to marry me?"
"I don't know yet."
"Don't know yet?"
"I don't know you that well. But my daughter and granddaughter love you so that means that there must be something there."
"Yeah well I didn't ask them to love me. They choose that on their own."
"Well I hope they were right to."
