Disclaimer: I own nothing from Gilmore Girls or Breakfast at Tiffany's. I only own Nan Whitman and Trinity Dugrey-whitman.
Summary: Tristin is surprised when the last person he expects shows up at his college...Rory. Following things will happen: Trory christmas, spring break, and more entertainment.
Lorelai Gilmore walked into her home, and was shocked to see the mess there. Walking into the living room, she found that it had paper and crayons all over it with drawings that looked like they were made by a little kid. What the hell? She thought. Walking further into the house, she found clothes strewn about the hallway and then in the kitchen she found the biggest mess that was beyond belief.
"Rory!" she called, stepping over the clothes. However, there was no answer. Just what on earth had gone on there?
"Rory!" she called again. Yet, there was no answer again.
Okay, either Rory had had a wild party consisting of five year-olds, or a five year-old had broken into her house. Either one was weird. Where was her daughter? She would have called if she was going out somewhere.
Lorelai decided to check and see if maybe the girl had gone to sleep in her room. The sight that she saw in there was one of the funniest she had ever seen. Rory Gilmore and Tristin Dugrey were both tied to chairs, with rags over their mouths. Lorelai snickered at the sight, causing Rory to mumble something that sounded a whole lot like, "Shut up and get us untied."
Just then, the door to the bedroom closed behind Lorelai and Rory looked to see who had done it and she found herself face to face with a little blonde girl with brown eyes, with a plate that had a brownie on it.
The little girl, who had not noticed her in the room, looked up, and let out a very loud scream. "Enough!" Lorelai called, causing the little girl to stop.
The little girl, who had tears in her eyes, looked at Lorelai suspiciously. Squating down so that she was level with the kid, she smiled, and said, "Hi. Lorelai Gilmore. Who are you?"
The little girl whiped the tears in her eyes, and she said, so low it was almost a whisper, "Nan. Nan Whitman."
"Hi. Nice to meet you Nan," said Lorelai, "now will please tell me why my daughter and Tristin are tied up and the house is a mess?"
"They wouldn't let me have a brownie," said Nan simply, "and I got bored."
"Okay, missy, what if I promise to put in a Barney tape for you, will you sit down, be quiet, and be a good girl?" said Lorelai.
Nan nodded, smiling happily. She then bounced off to the living room, waiting for Lorelai to pop the video in. Lorelai sighed, turning around, and burst out laughing at the sight of Rory and Tristin still tied to the chairs.
Rory made a move to kick at her but couldn't as her legs were tied up too. This caused Lorelai to laugh even more. Damn, the little girl was good.
Lorelai walked over and untied Rory first, despite Tristins muffled objections. "Oh, stuff it Bible boy, I gave birth to her," said Lorelai, proceeding to untie her daughter.
Rory let out a grateful sigh once her Mother was done. "That kid is a terror," said Rory.
"What exactly happened?" Lorelai asked as she moved on to untie Tristin. "And I know it wasn't because you wouldn't give her a brownie."
"I don't know," said Rory, "she comes in, all sweet and innocent, all 'I want to be your best friend' and then all the sudden, goes bizerk."
"Meh. Damn Trinity for leaving that kid with me," Tristin said as Lorelai pulled off the rag that had been over his mouth.
"Trinity?" Lorelai asked, interested.
"His sister," Rory answered.
"Ah," she said, and finished untieing Tristin. He got up and stretched, relief over his face.
"Thanks Lorelai," he said.
"Welcome bible boy," said Lorelai, and then she added, "now, because you brought the evil child, you get to go clean up the mess."
"But..." he started to object.
"But nothing," said Lorelai, "go, go." She ushered him out of the room and Tristin reluctantly went to go clean up the mess.
Lorelai turned to Rory. "Now, will you please tell me why Tristin is here with his neice?"
"He needed help," said Rory, "so he came to me."
"Uh-huh," said Lorelai, "sure."
"That's part of it, anyway," said Rory, "I don't exactly know the other half."
"Why couldn't he just get one of his friends to help him instead of driving all the way over here?" Lorelai questioned.
"I have no idea," said Rory, and she added, "by the way, do you have a room at the inn that he and Nan can stay in?"
Now it was time for Lorelai to get into match maker mode. "Sorry hun, we're booked," she lied.
"Great," Rory said with sarcasm in her voice, "just what exactly are we going to do now?"
"Hey, we've got a couch," said Lorelai, "Tristin can sleep in the big chair, and Nan can sleep on the couch."
"Mom, are you sure you really want to be babysitting a little kid?"
"I raised you didn't I? I think I can handle kids just fine," said Lorelai.
"Okay," she said, "I'll go tell Tristin he can stay with us."
Rory walked to the living room where Tristin was, busy cleaning up. "Hey," she said, "you want some help with that?"
"God, please," said Tristin. Rory smirked, shaking her head. She walked over to where he was by the coffee table and helped him start picking up the crayons, paper, and other junk.
"So," said Tristin, "does your Mom have any rooms at her inn?"
"No," said Rory, "apparently their booked. But she did say that you can stay here if you want. I mean, the couch and the big chair aren't as comfy as the beds at the inn, but its something."
Tristin paused his cleaning. "That won't be awkward for you, having me here?" he asked.
"No, not at all," said Rory, "I consider us friends, Tris. My house is your house."
"Thanks," he said, grinning, and continuing to pick up the mess that Nan had made.
It was then that Tristin decided he absolutely hated the word 'friends'.
Meanwhile, Lorelai used the phone in Rory's room to make a call. "Hey, Michel can you get Sookie for me?" she asked.
"I could, but you see, I don't want to," said the impossible french man.
"Michel..." Lorelai said in a warning voice.
"Fine," the man said, reluctance in his voice.
Moments later, Sookie was on the phone. "Hello?" she said.
"Hey Sookie, its Lorelai."
"Hey! What's up?"
"Oh nothing much...we've got company in the Gilmore household."
"Company?" Sookie said, surprised. "Really, who?"
"You met him at the wedding," said Lorelai.
"Oh! The mini Brad Pitt!"
"Yep. The mini Brad Pitt."
"So, is he staying with you, or at the inn?"
"Staying with us," said Lorelai, "I decided to play match maker between the two."
"Oh! They'd make such a cute couple," Sookie gushed, "their kids would be gorgeous."
"I know, right?" said Lorelai. "But first we have to get them to realize their feelings for each other because todays generation is very, very, stupid and can't realize when they're in love with one another."
Sookie laughed. "Don't forget to invite me to the wedding," she joked.
She walked out to the living room to find Tristin and Rory laughing and talking as they cleaned up the mess that Nan had made, while Nan was waiting patiently in front of the television for her to put on the Barney video. She smiled at Tristin and Rory and then walked over and put the tape in for the little girl, whose eyes were permanetly glued to the screen as soon as it started.
She walked over to her daughter and Tristin, and said, "Hey, want to do a movie night? You can get this little rascal to bed while I go get food and a movie."
Rory looked at Tristin. "C'mon Tristin," she said, "movie nights are fun. Loads of junk food, classic films..."
"Sure," he said, smiling, "why not?"
"Great," said Lorelai, "now, how does Breakfast at Tiffany's sound?"
"Breakfast at whats it?" Tristin asked, never having heard the movie title before.
Lorelai and Rory looked at each other with their eyes widdened. "You've never seen Breakfast at Tiffany's?" said Lorelai.
"Uh, no," said Tristin.
"Dugrey, I'm shocked!" exclaimed Rory. "You have to see this movie. Audrey Hepburn is great."
"And the cat," said Lorelai, "that cat should've gotten an oscar."
"The shop lifting scene where they steal the masks..."
"And the cat."
"Oh and the end! You'll love the end!"
"And he'll love the cat," said Lorelai.
"The cat?" said Tristin, confused.
"Mom's got an obsession with the cat," said Rory.
"Apparently," said Tristin.
"Hey! I like the cat, its cool," said Lorelai, defensively.
"I'll take your word for it," Tristin said.
"I will be back with munchies galore and Breakfast with the cat," said Lorelai.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's, mom," shouted Rory as her Mom went out the door.
Tristin shook his head. "Has anyone ever told you that your Mother's insane?" he asked.
"Every day," she answered.
He laughed and the two went back to cleaning.
Later that night, Nan had been put alseep, and Rory, Tristin, and Lorelai all sat in the living room, watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. Somehow, Rory and Tristin had ended up sitting next to each other, although in the begining, Rory had been sitting next to Lorelai.
Lorelai grinned. She new exactly why the two had ended up next to each other.
Just when Audrey Hepburn began singing, she said, "Anyone want more popcorn?"
"I do!" said Rory.
"I'm fine," said Tristin.
"I'll be right back," she said.
"Moon River, wider than a mile; & I'm crossing you in style some day. & Oh dream-maker, you heartbreaker, & Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way," Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly sang on the television screen.
When Lorelai left, Tristin thought this would be the perfect time to bring up what had happened at the wedding. "So, Rory," he said, "I was wondering if we could talk about what happened at the wedding..."
For some reason, at this point in the movie, Rory always found herself getting tired. "Sure," she said, yawning and stretching, "what about it?"
"&Two drifters off to see the world; ยง There's such a lot of world to see."
"Well," said Tristin, "I know we almost kissed...and I wanted to know...where does that leave us?"
"We're friends," said Rory, begining to nod off.
"& We're after the same rainbow's end... & Waitin' 'round the bend... "
"Freinds?" repeated Tristin.
"Uh-huh," said Rory.
"But..." he looked over and found that she had fallen asleep on his shoulder. He sighed, and then put his arm around her. It was then that he found himself falling asleep as well, and ended up going to sleep with her.
Lorelai came back from the kitchen, two bowls full of popcorn in hand. "Okay," she said, "I'm back. I haven't missed any scenes with the cat have I..."
Her voice drifted off as she found Rory and Tristin with their heads on each others shoulders and Tristin's arm wrapped around Rory, the both of them sound asleep.
"My huckleberry friend, Moon River... and me..." Audrey Hepburn finished her song, and as she did, Lorelai smiled at the two friends, fast asleep next to one another.
She went back into the kitchen, putting the bowls of popcorn down, and rumaged around for a camera. Upon finding one, she went back into the living room, and took a picture of the sleeping two.
A/N: So, there's chapter nine, after a long wait. I couldn't get any ideas for it for the longest time, and then I kept on thinking about my favorite movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and voila!

Druzilla: Tee hee. It was the only way I could get the babysitting scene in. I know, its cliche for Tristin to have a sister, because he usually has one, but oh well. I'm glad you liked it.
princetongirl: I hope I came back fast enough. I know, it was a long while then my usual updates.
Thanks to you all. Special thanks to those of you who have also reviewed 'Scott boys and Gilmore girls' along with 'Note passing'. You make me smile. :) 91 reviews for Something in the way. I'm amazed.
Love n' stars,
