The next morning, Rory woke up to the smell of coffee. Opening her eyes, she came face to face with none other than Tristan.

"Is there a reason why you are drinking coffee in front of me instead of getting me a cup?" Rory asked groggily

"Because I woke up a while ago to get ready for school and I was soo nice to let you sleep in a few minutes later I didn't think you would bite my head off." Tristan said laughing.

"Uh Chilton. What a way to start a morning."

Rory stumbled into the bathroom to get ready for the day.

That weekend (a/n I know I'm skipping ahead, but some people are getting antsy so I need to move forward) Rory and Lane were sitting in Rory's room listening to music and talking.

"I don't know what to do Lane, Tristan is one of my best friends, but I can't stop the growing feeling whenever I'm with him. And if I tell him how I feel, I'm afraid that he won't feel the same way and I'll lose him" Rory said flopping down on her bed.

Lane rolled her eyes at this, "I love you Ror, but sometimes you can be so oblivious. Tristan is totally in love with you. We can all see it by the way he looks at you."

"Ok, even if that is the case, how am I supposed to tell him. Am I just going to walk up to him and be like 'hey Tris, I like you more than a friend' and then walk away?"

"No" Land sigh. All of a sudden a light bulb went off in her head. "Hey Ror? You, Tristan and Henry are all coming to the Starts Hollow fair this weekend right?"

"Of course. We wouldn't want to miss your first show" Lane was able to have her band perform at the fair because Mrs. Kim would be at an Antique Store convention.

"Well, the band has been fighting over a final song to play and you have a beautiful voice. Why don't you sing a song for us, one that will tell Tristan how you feel?"

"I don't know Lane, you know I have severe stage fright and I've only sung in front of my mom and you."

"Oh come on Rory, first of all, Tristan will melt after hearing your voice, and second of all, it's the perfect way to tell him how you feel. Please Rory please please please!!" Lane was on her hands and knees begging.

"Ugh fine. But if this backfires you are so buying me coffee for life"

"AAAAAHHHH, YAY YAY YAY YAY!!! Oh my gosh Ror you will not regret this. And I have the perfect song for you to sing" Lane said jumping up and down.

"What's with all the squealing?" Lorelai asked as she popped her head in the door.

"Rory is going to profess her undying love to Tristan through song at the concert!"

"Oh my gosh ROR!!! That is such a great idea. Aw honey your going to be great. And I have the perfect outfit for you." Lorelai squealed.

Over the next couple of days, Rory was practicing her song with the band while Lorelai was working on Rory's outfit.

Finally the weekend came and Rory and Lane were getting ready for the fair. Tristan and Henry were going to meet them at the gazebo at 7:00.

"Lane I am so nervous. What if I mess up? What if he doesn't feel the same way?" Rory sighed as Lorelai put the finishing touches of her makeup on.

"Rory you are not going to mess up. We worked all week and you sound amazing. And for Tristan not feeling the same way, not gonna happen."

"Done" Lorelai exclaimed. "Ooo, somebody hit you girls with the pretty stick."

Lorelai insisted on taking pictures so when Lane and her band became famous, she would have pictures of her first concert. Rory and Lane headed to the gazebo while Lorelai went to Luke's.

"Good luck Lane, and Rory, I'll be standing in the front row cheering you on." Lorelai said as she entered the diner.

Lane and Rory spotted Tristan and Henry at the gazebo and made their way over to them.

Lane and Henry gave each other a quick hello kiss while Rory and Tristan stared at each other. Lane couldn't wait until the concert was over so all the sexual tension between Rory and Tristan would be gone.

"You look really nice Ror" Tristan whispered.

"You too Tris"

"Ok you two lovebirds, Ror, you need to come backstage with me to get ready"

"Ready for what, I know your performing Lane, but why does Rory have to go with you?" Henry asked while Tristan nodded.

"Because our little Rory is singing our closing song." And with that Lane pulled Rory away.

"Rory performing?" Tristan asked Henry

"I know as much as you do."

Tristan and Henry were near the front of the stage while the band was playing. They really were good, the crowd loved them. Henry was really proud of Lane for making her dreams come true.

Meanwhile, backstage Rory was shaking she was so nervous. As she heard the last chord of the last song play, she took one last breath and made her way onstage as Lane introduced her. The crowd was going wild especially Lorelai.

"You go girl" She screamed. "That's my baby girl!"

Giving Rory one last reassuring smile, Lane started the song. Taking one last breath before her part and finding Tristan's eyes, she started to sing........

A/N...hahahhaha a cliffy!!!! Next chapter is the song and the aftermath. Update will be very soon I promis!!! Please review!!!
