AN: thanks a bunch to the few who reviewed! It's greatly appreciated, oh and I am sorry if some of this seems like it is happening so fast, and it is and I don't like that either but I need to have it happen before a certain point in order for my Dazzling Plan to work! And now on with the story!

Wow indeed. That's it? That is all you have to say? "Hey, how are you?" well you want to know the answer? Fine, I'm not good Tristan! You left, I kissed you, I gave you my number and stuff and you just email me and sat that. I have never been so direct in my life, about anything, so I took a chance and went for it and you make it seem like it was nothing. Did that mean nothing to you? Cause it sure as hell felt like it meant something! Even you can't kiss like that without any feelings being involved. Then you email me something barely worth saying like nothing had happened. But I learned something from this, there actually is a very thin line between love and hate, and also sometimes when you cross that line there is no going back, please tell me I crossed the right way (I'm not saying I'm fully crossed yet though), because I'm not so sure I can ever go fully back. And that's an email!
Rory
P.S. your email address makes it seem like you're saying Ms. Hottie!
Three A.M., Tristan couldn't sleep. He decided to send Rory a real email since he couldn't call her at this hour. He was about to email her when he saw he had a message and when he read the all too familiar address he identified it to be her. His heart sank when he read it. Of course he cared! He had to respond right away but then thinking of he P.S. consented to create a new email address first.

Subject: Juliet, my sincerest apologies
Whoa, ok let me start by saying that I wasn't done with the email and I had no intention of leaving it like that. See what happened was someone came in and I meant to minimize the box but hit send by mistake. I am soooo that I hurt youï! It was anything but my intention and of course it meant something! That was the best kiss I have ever had, it's so sad I'm not there otherwise we could have a repeat performance wink, wink ok I guess it's confession time. I really, really like you, I have since the day I met you, but for some reason when my so called "charm" didn't work I began to act like a little boy. I give you my sincerest apologies for that also. If it is still ok, I would love to call you and hear your voice again. Warm wishes ï
Tristan
He reread the letter and sent it before he changed his mind. He hoped that was the right thing to do and he really hoped she felt the same way. Intertwined in his thoughts he drifted off to sleep.
Rory woke up that morning and stumbled out of bed, she hadn't slept well at all, she had been consumed with thoughts of none other than Tristan Dugray. She made her way into the kitchen to get some coffee. Just as she poured herself a cup the phone rang causing her to jump and spill the coffee all over herself. Damn it she muttered to herself as she answered the phone.
"Hello?" she muttered very annoyed
"He's gone! We have no Romeo!"
"Paris?"
"Yes, who else would be going on about Romeo,--"
Rory was about to inform her that he mother could very possibly do that but Paris didn't give her the chance.
"You're missing the point!"
"Oh my goodness what are we going to do!" Rory feigned fret. Fortunately Paris didn't catch on to that.
"Brad transferred schools, therefore leaving us with no guys!" Paris was still yelling, very stressed. "We need to have an emergency rehearsal tonight."
"Yea, sure" Rory said only partly hearing what Paris was saying.
"Ok same place as last time, about 7:30?"
"Um, sure I guess."
"Ok, I'll see you then"
"Bye Paris." And with that they both hung up. This was going to be a long day. She poured herself more coffee and sat down at the table. She saw a note from her mom.
Sweetie –
Had to go to the inn, I won't be back till late tonight, money for pizza/Luke's in the usual spot. Make sure you have a party and trash the place while I'm out.
Love, Mom.
Too bad I have rehearsal tonight Rory thought. She liked having the house to herself. She got up, showered and got dress. She then went over to her computer and logged in. "You have one new message" it read. She saw it was from Tristan and almost just deleted it but decided that would be a huge mistake. When she read it she could have sworn her heart skipped a beat. She almost started to cry for some reason, but then laughed at his playfulness at parts. She wrote back instantly.
Tristan must have checked his email seven times already, hoping and waiting for a response. Finally on the eighth try he saw a response. He opened it as fast as he possibly could.

I've very sorry for blowing up at you like that, but how was I supposed to know? And it was the best kiss I ever had too. ï!!! What does this mean? What are we? Are you ever coming back? When will I see you again? Answer ASAP!
Rory
P.S. did you forget about our little English assignment!? (Well I'm guessing its not that you forgot by how you kept slipping in a few names, nice email address by the way) You know that one worth half out grade! Well we now have no Romeo! Brad transferred schools so we are kind of screwed I believe. Paris called a emergency rehearsal for tonight, oh joy.
Tristan chuckled as he read the last bit; he began to type his response.
Rory decided to check her email before she left for Miss. Patty's. sje was strangly excited when she saw he had replied already.

Of course I didn't forget, I was looking forward to kissing you. I'm very sorry to hear of your dilemma though. Why did Brad transfer?
Too many questions to answer here but they will be answered soon, I promise. I have to go for now dear Juliet.
Tristan
She laughed to herself as she imagined him sitting there with that grin of his, cocky and arrogant. She was still wondering about some of the loose ends however. When she looked at the clock she realized she had to go or she would be late.
Rory walked towards the studio and even before it came into view she heard Paris's booming voice. She rolled her eyes knowingly as she stepped into the studio.
"Louise, get off the phone now!"
"Look I got to go the dragon lady calls, bye" Louise said to whomever she was talking to.
"Finally!" Paris huffed. She noticed Rory "well nice of you to join us."
"Hey, you said 7:30, its 7:33 and I have been here listening to you yell at Louise for about five minutes so technically I was early." Rory smiled.
"Whatever okay so as you all know we have no Romeo and the performance is tomorrow. Mr. Medina said it is too late to change the groups; therefore one of us has to be Romeo. Obviously it can't be Rory because she is Juliet and not Madeline" Madeline gave a "but" look, Paris glared at her before continuing "because there are more than three lines." Madeline relaxed "and it can't be Louise either because se won't be able to learn the lines in time and then there is no one for her part. So I guess it's me."
"You could have saved a lot of time if you just said that in the beginning" Louise quipped. Paris scowled.
"Let's run through the script so I can learn the lines" Paris said demandingly.
They went on with rehearsal.
"And Thus with a kiss I die" Paris spoke as she "died". She then stood up and said "ok so everyone meet at the school at 6:00 sharp so we can review, get into costume, etc. etc." everyone nodded in agreement and walked off.
Rory went home to an empty house, she ordered pizza, got into her pajamas, and made her self comfortable on the couch when the phone rang. After locating the phone in the kitchen cabinet she answered.
"Hello?"
