Disclaimer: Okay. Think about it people. Is my first name Amy? no. Is my last name Pallendino? No. Am I associated with Warner Bros.? No.
A/N: I decided not to put in the new season five characters, such as Logan, Colin, Finn, etc. I know everyone's writing those Trory's with Logan in them, and seeing how this is my first chapter Trory I just wanted it to be different. Doyle is in there because I find him funny and Paris needed a boyfriend. I didn't want it to be a classic Trory where Paris is still interested in Tristin. Okay, enough rambling for me. lol. On with the story. Also, it really is spelled Tristin. See the Gilmore Girls book Because I love you, you idiot! You can usually find them in the teen section of most book stores. Plus, if you want a Tristin/Rory/Logan fic, read my one shot fic Similar.
It had been a week since Rory had been in Massachucetts, and she was now glad to be back home. The dresses were fitted, Louise was happy, and Paris was still pissed about the fact that they were "degrading".
"Mom!" Rory called as she lugged her luggage into the front room of the house. "Mom, I'm home."
"Coming, I'll be down there in a sec," her Mother called.
There was the sound of movement upstairs and then her mother came quickly down, emersing her in a big hug. "Aw, Babe, you're home!" she exclaimed.
"Mom, mom, you got to stop hugging me, otherwise I'm going to end up getting suffocated and then you will loose your only daughter," said Rory.
Lorelai finally let go of her after a few seconds and Rory was able to breath again. "Mom, its only been a week," said Rory, "and you act as though its been an eternity."
"It has been an eternity," said Lorelai, "I didn't get to see you last weekend, because you had just gotten home from Massachucetts and spent your time resting in your dorm, leaving me all alone, and then you noly called me four times during the week, instead of your usual five. It made me feel unloved."
Rory rolled her eyes. "You are not unloved," she said.
"Well, you sure are doing a good job of making it seem that way," said Lorelai in mock sadness, "your calling me, less and less, and now I hardly get to see you and it makes my heart ache-"
"Mom, stop, your starting to sound like a really bad scene from Romeo and Juliet,"said Rory.
"Aw, you're no fun," Lorelai pouted.
"Well, I've been at Yale for a week," said Rory, "college tends to suck the fun out of you."
"Bad, bad, college," said Lorelai, "want me to go beat it for you?"
"Go for it," Rory joked.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you something during our last four conversations," said Lorelai.
Rory raised an eyebrow. "And that would be?" she asked.
"Well, you know about our little thing called Friday night dinners, right? You know, they're all the rage. Its a new tool invented for parents to torture their children and grand children with."
Rory rolled her eyes for the second time. "Their not that bad Mom," she said, "now, quite stalling and just tell me what you want to tell me."
"Okay, okay, ruin my fun why don't you?" said Lorelai. "Well, anyway, that charming woman who has proven that the devil IS a woman, in other words, my Mother, Emily Gilmore, has invited one of your ex-chiltionites."
"Grandma invited someone that I went to Chilton with to Friday night dinner?" said Rory, surprise in her voice. "Who, Paris?"
"No, not unless Paris got a sex change and is now a really tall guy, with blonde hair, good butt, and looks like a younger version of Brad Pitt," said Lorelai, adding, "and changed her last name to Dugrey."
Rory's eyes widened. "Grandma invited TRISTIN to friday night dinner?"
"Yes," said Lorelai, grinning evily.
"I can't believe you told her about Tristin," said Rory.
"I can't believe you would assume that it was me who told," said Lorelai, shocked, "he is from a fellow socialite family, and Emily Gilmore is the queen bee of socialites. Did you consider that maybe she found out from Tristin's parents?"
Rory snorted. "Yeah, because Tristin talks to his parents so much," she said, sarcasm in her voice, knowing full well that he didn't.
"Rory, I swear, I did not tell your Grandma about your bubbling friendship with Tristin," said Lorelai, "who knows how she found out? She's like Chloe Sullivan, you know? Girl detective, only a heck of a whole lot older, and she has about a million more sources."
"I'm really going to kill you," said Rory.
"Hey, don't shoot the messenger," said Lorelai, "this was fully Grandma's doing."
"Mom, you are a very, very, bad liar," said Rory.
"Kiddo, I swear, I'm not lying," insisted Lorelai.
Rory sighed. "Whatever you say," she said, "but I still think you put Grandma up to this."
"Think what you want," said Lorelai grinning, "come on, lets go get ready for our trip to hellville. And dress pretty, there's a hott man there tonight, and we all know I'm not referring to Grandpa."
"Mom, you are extremely insane," said Rory, and she dragged her luggage to her room so that she could get ready.
Lorelai watched her go, simply smirking. She went back up the stairs to her room to go get ready herself, eager to see the nights entertainment unfold.
Later, Rory and Lorelai, stood in front of the door of the elder Gilmores house, Lorelai with a look of amusement on her face, attempting very hard not to laugh at what awaited them inside. "You can laugh now mom," Rory said glumly, knowing full well that was exactly what her Mother wanted to do.
Lorelai burst out into the laughter that she had been holding in for the past few minutes, although it was more so an evil cackle that came out from her. She had to lean up against the wall in order to hold herself up. Rory rolled her eyes at her laughing Mom, resisting the urge to grab the woman by the neck and strangle her.
"Mom," she said.
Lorelai continued cackling.
"Mom."
Still, she was cackling.
"MOM!" Rory yelled.
Seeing her daughter glaring at her like she was about to attempt a murder, Lorelai instantly stopped laughing, and they rang the doorbell.
It opened, and there stood Emily Gilmore. "Well, there you are!" said Emily. "What took you so long? We saw the car come up, and waited, and waited."
"Mom was having a laugh attack," Rory said simply.
Emily looked at Lorelai oddly, and then said, "Oh, well, come on in then. We have company waiting. I assume your Mother told you that I invited your friend, Tristin?"
"Yes, she did," said Rory, glaring at her Mother, who simply smirked.
"She informed me that you two reunited over your trip to Massachucetts, and that you had become friends," said Emily.
Rory's glare at Lorelai only became even more terrifying, and Lorelai had to once again to resist the urge to laugh at the entire situation. "Did she?"
"Yes," said Emily, "she called me herself. I myself was rather surprised as she rarely calls me."
"Huh," said Rory, "interesting."
The three women walked into the living room where Richard sat on one seat, while Tristin sat on the couch. The two men were talking about this and that, not noticing that the girls had entered. Rory watched the two of them in amusement.
Her Grandpa and Tristin seemed to be getting along good, and Rory found that she was happy about this. She remembered when her Grandpa had met Dean and how horrible that evening had gone and was glad that history was not going to repeat itself.
Wait. Why was she comparing Tristin being there to when Dean had been there? More importantly, why did she care wether or not her Grandma and Grandpa liked him? It wasn't as if they were dating.
"Richard, the girls are here," said Emily, bringing Tristin and Richards attention to them.
"Why, hello girls," said Richard, and he turned to Rory, "I was just talking to your friend here, Rory. How come you never mentioned you were friends with Tristin during high school?"
Rory didn't know what to say to that, and she didn't really want to have to explain to her grandfather that she hadn't been friends with Tristin at all during high school. Luckily, Tristin, upon seeing the look on her face, cut in, and said, "Oh, well, Richard, we weren't exactly friends during high school," and he added, "we were more so accquantinces."
"Ah, well, that explains it," said Richard.
Rory sighed in relief, not really wanting to bring up the fact that she had actually hated Tristin during high school, and then mouthed 'thank you' to him. Tristin grinned and mouthed 'your welcome.'
"Isn't this lovely?" said Emily. "High School accquaintences reuniting."
"Yep," said Lorelai, who added, turning to Tristin, "nice to finally meet you in person, devil child."
Tristin grinned at the woman. "Nice to meet you as well, Lorelai," he said.
Emily's newest maid entered just then. "Dinner is ready, Mrs. Gilmore," she announced.
"Alright then, everyone to the dinning room," said Emily, ushering them all in there.
Once in the dinning room, Rory found herself sitting next to Tristin, with her Mom on the other side of the table, and her Grandmother and Grandfather sitting at the end and front of the table.
"So, Rory, tell us, which one of your friends is getting married again?" Emily asked, starting up conversation.
"Louise," she answered.
"And what about the bridesmaide dress, dear? How's it look?" Emily continued.
Here, both Tristin and Lorelai snickered, and Rory shot the two both a glare. "Its..." Rory started and searched for the right words to describe the dress with out horrifying her Grandmother.
"Its..."
"Yes, dear?" Emily said expectantly.
"Its very blue," Tristin said, and Rory looked at him oddly, "and might I add, Mrs. Gilmore, your daughter looks very lovely in it."
Rory shot him a questioning look, and Tristin merely grinned. "She dragged me along to the fitting," he continued, "we saw each other and wanted to go get lunch, but she had to get fitted for the dress before, and so I went with her."
"Ah, wonderful," said Emily, and then she turned to Rory and asked, "so, do you have a date for this wedding?"
"Actually, I was just planning on going alone," said Rory.
Lorelai smirked at her, knowing full well where this was going, and Rory simply glared at her. Great, Rory thought, sarcastically, Grandma's trying to set me up on a date with Tristin.
"Well, surely there must be some young man who will accompany you," said Emily, "you're a very pretty girl, Rory, and its only proper to attend a wedding with a date. After all, it looks bad if you go to a wedding alone."
Rory looked at Lorelai for a little bit of help, but Lorelai was merely grinning over the whole situation, and seemed to find it very amusing. Tristin watched the exchange, wondering what on earth was going on.
Emily turned to Tristin. "What about you, Tristin? Aren't you going to this wedding?"
"Yes, I am actually," Tristin answered.
"Wonderful!" Emily exclaimed. "Then you and Rory can go, and Rory won't have to be alone during the weddding. Perfect! Its all set. Oh, you'll make such a wonderful couple."
Tristin looked at Rory, confused, not just quite sure what had happened. Rory sat there shaking her head. Then there was Lorelai, who just burst out laughing at the entire thing.
Richard and Emily shot Lorelai a look after a few seconds of her laughing, and with a guilty expression on her face, stopped laughing and said, "Sorry." She then started picking at her food, and after that everyone else went back to eating as well.
Later, Lorelai and Rory sat at Lukes diner, both qith coffee's, sharing a plate of chilie cheese fries despite the fact that they had just eaten a full dinner, the both of them were still starving.
"I can't believe you just sat there and let her basically force Tristin and I to go out on a date," Rory said, taking a chilie cheese fry and eating it.
"Hey, you should be thanking me," said Lorelai, "I mean, no one wants to go to a wedding with out a date. If you do, all you get is sympethetic looks, and all those cruel, horrible, young, already married socialites coming up to you and making you feel like crud. Trust me, its not fun."
Just then, Luke came up, refilling Lorelai's coffee cup, much to both their surprises, with out a word about how it would stop growth, or how it was bad for you. "What's not fun?" he asked.
"Attending a wedding alone," answered Lorelai.
"Definately not fun," Luke said in agreement, "especially if your a guy. By the end of the night, you'll have ten drunk women coming up to you, trying to flirt, and badly I might add, and then have at least one of them puke on your shoes."
Lorelai raised an eyebrow. "Since when have you been to a wedding?"
"Well, there was Liz's," said Luke.
"Which you went to with me," Lorelai said pointedly.
"And there was another one that I'd like to attempt to forget," he added.
"I'll get it out of you mister, see if I don't," said Lorelai.
"Sure you will," said Luke, kissing her on the cheek and then going over to another table and taking the couple that was sitting there's orders.
"Mom, its not funny," said Rory, "Tristin and I just started something resembling a friendship, and now I'm going to have to go out on a date with him? If there's one thing that's going to cause sexual tension, that will be it."
"Meh," said Lorelai, "don't blame me. Blame that evil coniving woman I have to call Mother. Besides, I wouldn't mind you having some sexual tension with Tristin. And, as my Mom says, you'll make such a 'wonderful' couple."
At this, Rory simply through a fry at her, which caused Lorelai to burst out laughing for the third time that night. So, Rory had a date with Tristin. Emily Gilmore may have looked innoccent, but Rory had now decided that the woman was hiding horns somewhere. She was certain of it.
