ONE LINE part 2
AUTHOR: ALEX P
RATING: PG
SPOILERS: SEASON 1
SUMMARY: Alternative season 1 ending, Dean never came and Rory, Tristan. Lane and Henry all go to PJ Harvey. This is my first fan fiction and is in the form of a transcript as I found that an easy way to write, the beginning is directly from the episode. R/T
CUT TO INSIDE RORY'S CAR
HENRY: Just pull up on the left
(The car pulls up in front of a huge Tudor style mansion)
LANE: Wow, your house is huge, don't you get lost?
HENRY: I leave breadcrumbs
HENRY: Thanks for the lift Rory
RORY: It was no trouble
HENRY: Oh I forgot to tell you, my birthdays next week and my parents are throwing me a party it would be great if you two could make it?
LANE: Sure, of course, I mean I'll have to make up a story to tell my mum but I wouldn't miss it for the world.
HENRY: Ok, great, I'll see you there
(Henry gets out and goes inside)
LANE: Oh my god, he invited us to his party, I'll get to see inside his castle, I might even get to see his room? This is a momentous occasion.
RORY: Ok take a step back; we don't even know if we can go yet
LANE: Oh we're going it would take a tsunami to stop me and even then I'd steal Taylor's boat and make a go of it.
RORY: Hopefully it won't come to that
LANE: Promise me you'll come
RORY: I promise
CUT TO CHILTON
(Rory's sitting on her bed listening to her Discman)
Loralie comes in and sits on the bed
L: Rory, hey I didn't hear you come in last night, how was it, did P.J rock or what
R: It was fine
L: Fine, going to the dentist is fine, A PJ Harvey concert, that should be great or mind blowing or at least good?
R: So how was your date with Max?
L: Wow, Change the subject why don't you, well if you're not in the mood to share then I will. It was great, we avoided all proposal related questions for the moment and he seems to be ok with that.
R: But you are going to have to answer him eventually
L: Eventually yes, but for the moment I've got a lot of things to think about.
R: I know the feeling
L: Rory what's up with you, is this still about Dean?
R: Yes and No, I just don't feel like talking right now ok
L: Sure, but you know I'm here when your ready, well actually I have to go to work but I'll be there when your ready, I might pop in at Doose's on my way over but I'll be available on my cell when your ready…
R: Bye Mom
CUT TO CHILTON
(Rory getting books from her locker)
HENRY: Hey Rory
R: Hey
H: Here are the invitations for my party, one for you and one for Lane.
R: I'll make sure she gets
H: Cool, oh by the way I don't if I mentioned it on Friday but it's a costume party, it was my Mom's idea but it should be fun.
R: Yea I'll tell Lane
H: Ok I'll see you then
CUT TO INSIDE A CLASS ROOM
TECHER: Ok class, I know you guys have a lot of study to do so I won't assign you any extra questions this week.
T: But I will remind you that your semester long writing folios are due first period on Friday. There will be no exceptions or excuses; they are worth fifty percent of your grade and anybody who does not hand them in satisfactorily will be ineligible to sit finals. I also want to remind you that spelling, punctuation and presentation are worth half of that fifty percent so you are all encouraged to get one of your Peers to go over them for you.
(The bell rings)
(Paris, who is sitting behind Rory leans over and whispers to Louise)
P: Louise can you go over my folio one more time tonight
L: Geez, Paris I've already checked it like forty five times any way I have to finish mine I've still got two essays to write.
Paris: Madeline can you do it
M: Do what
P: Never mind
(Paris looks up and spots Rory carefully going over her own folio)
(Paris walks over to Rory's desk)
P: Look I know you hate me but this assignment is really important to me and I would be grateful if you would come over tonight and help me go over my folio
R: Ok.
P: I understand, that's ok I'm sorry I bother… What, you will help me after all I've done to you.
R: What can I say I'm a glutton for punishment anyway I need someone to go over my folio too
P: Great well, here's my address and I'll see you tonight, 7 o'clock sharp.
(Paris walks off)
(Rory gathers up her books and walks out into the hallway and run's straight into Tristan)
Tristan: Well I know you don't like me but there's no reason to run me down
Rory: I'm sorry I didn't see you there
T: I'm not surprised
Rory: I...
T: Bye Mary
(Tristan strides down the hall and Rory can not help following him with her eyes)
CUT TO GILMORE HOUSE
(Rory is sitting at the kitchen table eating a Twinkie)
(Loralie enters the kitchen)
R: Hey how was work
L: Well the furnace broke down, Sookie broke the oven and Michele called in sick but besides that it was great, you
R: I'm going over to Paris' tonight to study
L: Ok you win, how did you get roped into that?
R: I kind off let myself be, I thought it would get my mind of things
L: Dean things
R: Yea and Tristan things
L: Tristan things, since when is there Tristan things
R: since PJ Harvey, he came too; it wasn't a peace offering it was a set up.
L: Oh that boy, what is his problem?
R: He loves me
L: What! What is these boys problem I know your great but what happened to teenage boys who only wanted to get into girls pants?
R: Mom
L: I'm sorry, but he loves you, I knew he liked you what with the kissing and all but love, that's a totally different thing; however that would explain the kindergarten like behaviour.
L: The question is how you feel about him
R: I don't know, I thought nothing I mean this is Tristan, but now I'm just confused.
L: Rory your sixteen your meant to be confused and when a boy tells you he loves you, any boy, especially a blond blue eyed Adonis it is bound to stir up feelings but that's not necessarily love, your hurting and on the rebound and the last thing you need is another serious relationship.
R: I know
L: However aside from all this if you really do have genuine feelings for Tristan that were just clouded by your other feelings for Dean and the fact he torments you. You owe it to yourself to explore them.
R: Thanks mom, now I'm not confused at all!
L: I'm sorry hon, I'm just laying it all out on the table for you, I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you to be careful, you could end up breaking people's hearts including your own.
CUT TO PARIS' HOUSE
(Rory walks up and rings the doorbell)
(Paris answers the door)
P: You're late its 7:04
R: Ok
P: Come in, we'll work in the kitchen
CUT TO PARIS' KITCHEN
(Rory and Paris are sitting around the kitchen table drinking coffee)
P: So you really think it's done
R: Yes it's beyond done, it's unbelievable
P: Ok good, oh and by the way so is yours
(The phone rings)
P: I'll be right back
(Rory sits at the table and finishes her coffee)
(Paris comes back in)
P: I can't believe him
R: Who
P: Tristan
R: Um Tristan, what about Tristan
P: Well his parents are friends with my parents and they organised for me to tutor him in English and I have been, taking time out of my schedule to do it by the way, plus I know it will look good on my college transcript his folio, well anyway he left his book here and has decide he needs it now
R; So, Tristan's coming over here
P: In like five minutes
R: I should go
P: No. you don't have to he's the one imposing and he will only be here for a minute
R: Ok
R: So how has that been going? I mean you and Tristan.
P: Your referring to our supposed date, well you don't have to worry I'm totally over Tristan. I could never really like someone who doesn't have the motivation to get of his behind and organize his life.
P: Besides he only has eyes for someone else
R: He does?
P: Don't play games with me Rory, I'm much too intuitive for that, besides I saw it in your face the moment I mentioned his name.
(The doorbell rings)
R: You know on second thoughts I should go
(Rory begins packing up her books)
R: Do you have a back entrance
So you really want to avoid seeing me that much (a voice says)
R: Tristan
T: Rosa let me in
P: I'll go get that book for you
(Paris leaves the room)
(Tristan leans against the kitchen counter)
T: So know you've decided to totally avoid me, that's mature
R: You're talking to me about maturity, you who has tormented me for a year and then blurt out sentiments he doesn't even mean
T: What are you talking about?
R: You love me, how can you love me you don't even know me
T: I do know you, I know that you're so kind that you came over to help Paris even though she too has tormented you; I know that when you're worried about something you push your hair behind your right ear and chew on your pencil. I also know that even though you hated me you came to see if I was alright after Summer dumped me.
R: I never hated you
T: But you'll never love me either
R: I…
T: Tell Paris I had to go
(Tristan storms out of the kitchen)
(Rory sits down at the table and begins to cry)
FADE OUT
