December 31 2004 New York City:
"Paris tell me again why we're going to spend New Year's here?"
"So we can meet people."
"You made me drive for an hour and a half hours and you don't have a plan?"
"Well you made me get in the car and pick a place to go."
"I'll give you that but why did you pick New York City on New Year's Eve?"
"It's closer than Las Vegas."
"Ok. So what do you want to do?"
"Let's go to a club."
"Ok."
The club:
Paris goes and sits in a corner while Rory tries to find anyone she knows.
"Hey Mary!" Says a voice from behind her. Rory cautiously turns around to see who is behind her.
"Tristan! I never thought I would say this but I'm glad to see you."
"What are you doing here?"
"In New York or at this club?"
"Both."
"I kidnapped Paris and told her to pick a place to go. That's how we got to New York and then she said we should go to a club so that's how we ended up here."
"So do you want me to buy you a drink?"
"Are you 21?"
"Yeah."
"Ok."
10 o'clock (an hour later):
Tristan and Rory are both drunk and decide to leave. Rory gives Paris the keys and tells her to go back without her.
On the street outside of the club:
"Rory."
"Yeah."
"I know we're drunk and in New York so let's go to City Hall and get married."
"It's 10 o'clock city hall is closed."
"No they close late on New Year's eve."
"Ok." Tristan flags down a cab and heads to city hall. 2 ½ hours later Rory arrives back to her dorm with Tristan. She makes sure Paris is in her own room and there takes Tristan in her room with her.
4 o'clock Tristan quietly leaves Rory's room but is stopped by a very drunk Paris on her way to the bathroom.
"Tristan! What are you doing here?"
"Um… I came to see you." Tristan lies because unlike Paris and Rory he is not drunk.
"Oh." Paris says as she pulls him into her room.
The next day Paris and Rory wake up at noon with major headaches. Rory and Paris both leave their rooms at the same time landing on the couch.
"My head hurts."
"No so loud."
"Sorry."
"So Rory how did you get home last night?"
"Um… hold on let me think." Rory looks down at her left ring finger.
"Oh man I thought I was having a really bad dream. Did we go to New York last night?"
"I think so."
"We have major hangovers." Just then there is a knock on the door, but neither of the girls feels like answering the door so they just yell 'Come in.' Lorelai opens the door and sees Rory and Paris lying on the couch. She goes over and sits down in between them.
"What did you two do last night?"
"Not so loud."
"Here." Lorelai hands the girls both a cup of coffee.
"Both of you sit up."
"Ok." Rory says.
"Where did you two go last night?"
"As far as we can remember we went to New York City."
"Ok. And did what?"
"Went to a club."
"Did this club serve alcohol?"
"Yeah, all different colors." Rory says in a drunken state.
"Did you two drink any of this colorful alcohol?"
"Um… yeah." Rory says.
"How much?"
"I don't know."
"Let me guess people bought you drinks and you thought they were non-alcoholic right?"
"Yeah."
"You two got drunk last night."
"You could say that." Paris says.
"You two are so smart why on earth did you drink alcohol?"
"Cause."
"Who drove?"
"I took a cab."
"Paris what about you?"
"I had someone drive the car home."
"Ok. Drink the coffee and then Paris go take a shower. Rory then you are going to take a shower. You are both going to get dressed and come back out here."
"Ok." Paris goes to the bathroom, Rory stays on the couch and Lorelai stands up and calls Luke.
"Hello?"
"Luke. Can you do me a favor?"
"Do you know anything that takes care of hangovers?"
"I've never had one but you could try tomato juice."
"Ok thanks."
"Do you have a hangover?"
"No. Rory and Paris have hangovers."
"Oh."
"Thanks bye."
Lorelai hangs up her phone and looks in the fridge. She sees one can of tomato juice.
20 Minutes later both girls are showered and dressed and back on the couch.
Lorelai walks over to them and hands them each a glass of tomato juice.
"What is this?"
"Drink it."
"Ok." Both girls down the tomato juice make a funny face and then sit up.
"Rory look at your watch and tell me what time it is."
"12:45." Lorelai looks down at Rory's watch.
"Good. Now Paris tell me what day and year it is."
"It's January 1st 2005."
"Good now that you're both back to planet earth I want to talk to you."
"Ok."
"Rory tell me everything you remember."
"First we went to a club and then I saw Tristan and he bought me some kind of drink and then I was really drunk and we took a cab somewhere."
"Where?"
"Um." Rory looks at her left ring finger.
"Hold on mom I need to go get something off of my dresser."
"Ok." Rory goes in her room and finds a note and a marriage certificate.
"Rory what are those?"
"Crap, I thought it was a really bad nightmare."
"What?"
"I went to city hall with Tristan."
"And did what?"
"Got married."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." Rory says as she takes the ring off her finger and hands it to Lorelai along with the marriage certificate.
"So you got married to Tristan?"
"Yeah."
"And where is he now?"
"He came here last night and then…"
"Then what?"
"OMG I slept with Tristan."
"Rory are you sure?"
"Why Paris?"
"Tristan was here last night?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"I came out in the middle of the night and saw him leaving and…"
"And what?"
"I slept with him too."
"This is special." Rory says.
Rory opens the note from Tristan.
"Do you want me to read it out loud?"
"Rory if you don't I'm going to kill the kid."
"Ok it says
Dear Rory,
I realize we're married and I want to work things out. I'll call you as soon as I can.
Tristan."
"What kind of note is that?"
"I don't know."
"Rory."
"Yeah Mom."
"Do you know where Tristan lives?"
"No."
A/N:
Just a few hints for the next chapter.
So the search for Tristan begins but in the following chapter something happens that intensifies the search. Will Lorelai kill Tristan when she finds him? Will she find him?
What will happen to Rory and Paris?
