Chapter 4

After suffering through a seemingly endless Friday night dinner, Rory and Lorelai headed to Luke's for some pie. During the car ride Rory was preoccupied thinking about Tristan coming to Stars Hollow for a movie night tomorrow. She drifted so deeply into her thoughts she didn't even hear her mother call her name.

"Rory, Rory!" Lorelai exclaimed, finally catching Rory's attention, "Whatcha thinking about?"

"Nothing," Rory lied, "just school stuff and the weekend, you know."

"Yeah, so what are your plans for the weekend?" Lorelai asked.

"Oh right," Rory gasped. She had completely forgotten to ask her mother if Tristan could come over tomorrow night. "So, mom. Is it alright if Tristan comes over tomorrow night for a movie night type thing?"

"Of course" Her mother responded with a smile. Then started the taunting, "Rory's got a date! Rory's got a date!"

"NO MOM!" Rory exclaimed, now red from embarrasment. "It's not a date. We decided to swear off dating, so we made plans for this weekend to ensure that he wouldn't go out with some girl. Really we're just helping each other recover from our breakups. That's all."

"Ok Rory, if you say so," Lorelai conceded, the disbelief evident in her voice. She knew from everything Rory had told her that this boy wanted her. Well, she thought, at least he's going about it the right way. Being her friend and all. Rory would never date someone she didn't trust. "So, if this isn't a date does that mean I'm invited?" Lorelai asked.

"Well," Rory considered, "if you really want to. But you have to promise to be nice and not tell embarrassing stories or anything like that."

"Come on Rory, would I ever, ever do something like that?" Rory just looked at her. "Alright maybe I would but I promise I won't this time."

"Sure you won't mom. By the way what movie's should I pick?" Rory asked.

Her mother paused in consideration. This really was a big decision. Normally she would pull out the old Willy Wonka but she didn't really want to remind Rory of the night with Dean. "Well," Lorelai began. "You both sort of are still wallowing. Really you're in the second stage of wallowing. You've moved passed the crying movies stage and into the laugh your ass of stage."

"Ok, so what do you suggest?"

"Well let's see, of course some Monty Python, either Holy Grail or the Life of Brian. Either one, both hilarious." Lorelai suggested

"Ok that's good. I think I'll get three movies then we can pick which ones we want to watch. Maybe we should get This is Spinal Tap."

"Also a great choice, hilarious, so good lots of people thought it was a documentary of a real band."

"yeah, I remember Kirk used to tell everyone that Spinal Tap was his favorite band."

Lorelai laughed at the memory. "Oh for your final movie choice, definitely The Princess Bride"

"But mom that's so not a guy movie!" Rory protested.

"Exactly," Lorelai pronounced "But this way we get to see whether he's cool enough to recognize the pure genius of the movie even though parts of it appear to be a chick flick."

"Ok mom, but you can't torture him if he doesn't like it." Rory stipulated.

"I make no promises."

Then next morning Rory nearly cried when her alarm clock went off at 7:15. More than anything she did not want to go to school on a Saturday morning. She hated Paris so much. She cherished her weekends and didn't want to spend them with Paris and Madeline and Louise. Well Tristan will be there. With that thought she perked up enough to crawl out of bed and get dressed. On the way to Chilton she desperately needed more coffee so she stopped to get some for all of her group mates along with clown shaped donuts, just for the heck of it. When she arrived at school Madeline and Louise were already lying on the desks half asleep. Louise only stirred when given coffee. Rory grinned when Tristan entered and offered him a clown.

"Sure Gilmore, you know you're very weird." He commented glancing at the ridiculous donut in his hand.

"Thank you." Rory replied smiling at Tristan remembering the last time that conversation played out.

"Hey Rory, can I talk to you outside for a minute?" Tristan asked.

"Sure" she replied following him into the hall.

"So, tonight." Tristan stated.

"yeah, what about it?" Rory found herself worried that he was canceling.

"I still need directions to your house." Tristan responded. Rory allowed herself a sigh of relief, then wondered why she had been so nervous that he might not come. I mean it was just a movie night with Tristan. Why did she care so much?

"Oh sure" Rory replied, grabbing the notebook he extended to her and writing down her address and directions.

"Great." Tristan replied smiling at her. A real smile too, not a smirk. Rory had never noticed how cute he looked when he smiled. Wait, did I just refer to Tristan Dugrey as cute?
