Rory and Dean broke up, she's going out with Jess, and the kiss at the piano did happen. Everything more or less happened, and Luke and Lorelai are married with a seven year old girl, Stephanie, and a five year old boy, Daniel.

Summary: Some secrets are better off kept, some you should tell. Bad summary. Trory.

enjoy!

The days went by quickly and Rory, and Tristan became better and better acquainted. They never really "dated" but they knew that to go out with other people was a no-no. November crept up on them, leaving them with two days of October left. Rory's moods had been changing often that month, but she kept getting more and more stable.

The Halloween dance was coming up and Tristan desperately wanted to go with Rory, but he knew that he should wait until she was fully prepared...not that he listened anyway. October 29th, wasn't a big day at the school, it just meant that that Friday, the dance would be held.

'Fefe!!' Ashlee called to Rory. She and Rory had become friends very quickly. Rory and Ashlee were not complete opposites but they had enough things alike to be able to keep the friendship.

Ashlee or Ash is a 5'6" true blonde who is beautiful and actually really smart. Rory thought it was amazing how blond's got degraded and how many of the blonds that Rory had met were brilliant. Rory liked to see Ashlee put people in their place for calling her stupid.

'Enough with the nicknames!' Rory laughed allowing her to catch up.

'Well, then enough with drinking coffee!' She came back.

'Grr!! Why can't my obsession's be my obsessions?' Rory laughed walking with her to their next class, English.

'Because, and plus, your friend may have something to do with it!'

'My friend?' Rory asked seriously not understanding.

'Yea! Tristan! You come to school with him everyday, and every girl in this school, not to mention myself, would die to be you! Like every girl here observes you wondering what it is about you that attracts him!'

'Is that why you're my friend?'

'No, don't be stupid, you're seriously like my sister, just with an awfully hot friend!' Ash said play fanning herself. Rory gave her a playful shove and walked into the classroom. Everyone was staring at her and Ashlee. The two tried to avoid the glances and getting to their seats, Rory made eye contact with Tristan very much confused.

'Okay, umm, before the teacher comes, I suggest you people stop staring at Rory, and mind your own fucking business!' Ashlee shouted. Rory pleaded with Tristan to tell her what was going on, but he just laughed.

'Hey Ashlee, umm, this Friday, ya know, umm—'

'No Sean, I'm not gonna go to the Halloween dance with you, sorry, I already have a date!' Ashlee could get a little pissed off at people. The teacher came in and started her lesson. Rory kept getting weird stares from people, but tried her best to ignore them, including Tristan.

The class went by slowly, and finally the teacher let them out. Tristan caught Rory by the arm before she could leave and gave her a single red rose.

'Come to the Halloween dance with me.' He said. Rory smiled and bit her bottom, and accepted the rose.

'I would love to go to the dance with you!' she gave him and hug and pulled away. Everyone clapped including Ashlee. Rory looked around and smiled. She finally allowed herself to be taken. He gave her another hug and then left for his next class, one they didn't have together. Ashlee and Rory had all of their classes together.

They walked down the hall laughing.

'So you knew this was gonna happen?' Rory asked.

'Yup! Everyone knew it. I had to let some steam off from holding it in so long that I had to yell the business thing.'

'Everyone knew! God, and I had no clue. I wished it, but—'

'Yea we know! So does Tristan know where you live?'

'I live with---umm I live with my mom, and she'll give him directions I'm sure.' Ashlee gave her a strange look.

'Okay.' She said, and then continued. 'So anyway, I was looking over your outfit today. Great choice for being asked out!'

'I felt like being little punkish today. So I looked in my closet and I saw these pants and this top! Actually this is first outfit Tristan saw me when we were back at our old school. I was wearing this and he saw me. It was the first time I told him I liked him; we were in his kitchen. His sister was on the phone.' Rory laughed and looked at her outfit.

She was wearing the rose pink low-slung baggy pants with several chains, and a white tight fitting tank top that fit her well. She took a chance and wore a black bra and did her makeup the way Jackie did it. She also put the fake earring on her belly button, and made sure everyone could see it. She felt like she was showing too much skin, but decided to be risky. She wore her hair in a messy bun. No one stopped her. Tristan just whistled that morning, and Jake made a face saying that she was too hot for her own good.

'Really that's kinda funny if you think about it! That outfit is good luck!'

'Yea, but Ash, you have a great outfit on too!' Ashlee was wearing a racer back ribbed tee with a bright green bra, and a matching skirt that went down only to the end of her butt. Her hair was also in a messy bun.

'Well we both look hot!' she said compromising.

'Seriously. You know I'm feeling really good!' Rory and Ashlee turned the corner. They entered the class and an hour later were dismissed. They headed to lunch and walked around a corner almost bumping into someone.

'Whoa, sorry.' Ashlee said. Rory opened her mouth but nothing came out but a squeak.

'Dean.'

Okay more soon, I hope!!
