TITLE: Presenting... Mary

SUMMARY: A twist in the episode "Presenting Lorelai Gilmore." Who will be Rory's escort?

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gilmore Girls or anything related to it. I am just an obsessive fan!

A/N: This is my first fanfic ever! I have been reading and enjoying them for a long time and never got the courage to write one myself! Please be kind and review. I accept constructive criticism! Thanks for giving me a chance!

Also, italics mean a character's thoughts.

Back by not so popular demand… This story! Just kidding. I think. I'm not really sure how this will end up. I'm just going to start typing and see where it goes. Your reviews have made me so happy. I can always count on you guys to brighten my mood and I am eternally grateful for it! So, here goes nothing.

Rory and Tristan were laying on the couch in her living room. They were watching Willy Wonka again, as requested by Rory. "Mare, I think I need to wean you off the Oompa Loompas, I'm starting to get jealous."

Rory flipped herself over so her stomach was on his. Looking him in the eyes, she said "You know, you're right."

Surprised, Tristan asked "I am?"

"Absolutely. Who needs you when I can have little orange men?" Smiling, she turned back around and refocused on the television.

"I guess I can accept that. I'll see you around." Tristan sat up and walked towards the front door. Rory quickly ran and stood in front of the doorway.

"And where do you think you're going mister?"

Smirking, Tristan said "Leaving you to your boyfriends."

Rory leaned forward and placed her hands on his chest. Sweetly, she said "So, after a month together you just give up? That is not the Tristan DuGrey I know."

"Yeah, well what can I say? I just want you to be happy." Tristan could feel his will power to continue the joke lagging as Rory bit her lip and looked up at him innocently.

"That's why I love you."

Tristan stepped closer and said "Oh, really? I thought it was because I was just so adorable."

"Well, that too." Rory pulled him towards her and met his lips in a passionate kiss. After several minutes of fighting each other for control, they pulled apart. Rory's face grew serious and she said "You do know that I love you, right?"

"Rory, of course I know that. And you know that I love you?" He only used her real name when he was being serious, knowing it will get her attention.

"Yeah, I do." She pulled him into a hug, and they just stood that way for a long time.

"Seriously you guys, get a room. No, wait, really bad suggestion." Lorelai joked, just getting home from work.

Pulling away from Rory, Tristan said "Hey Lorelai, I was just leaving."

Smiling at her daughter's boyfriend, Lorelai said "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow." She moved to the kitchen, most likely in search of coffee. Rory grabbed her jacket and walked Tristan out to his car.

"Goodnight Bible Boy." Rory went up on her tiptoes, giving him a quick kiss.

Tristan smiled down at her and said "See you tomorrow morning, Mary."

The next morning, Rory and Tristan walked hand-in-hand into Chilton. They had become accustomed to the stares and whispers of their peers. Tristan stood by her side as she rummaged through her locker. Triumphant in finding what she was looking for, she let out an excited "Yes!"

"Happy this morning, huh Mare?" Tristan asked, amused at her elated expression.

"Yeah, well it's not everyday that I get to see the greatest man alive."

Tristan smirked and inched closer to her. Leaning in for a kiss, he stopped upon hearing Rory teasingly say "Chris Martin really is a god, don't you think?"

Pulling back, Tristan said "Well now Mary, I don't know if I can take you tonight now that I know your true feelings."

Rory gently turned him around so his back was against the locker. She slowly moved to his ear and whispered "Jealous?"

Huskily, Tristan responded "Extremely."

"Tristan DuGrey, King of Chilton, jealous? My, my, my, what will your groupies think of you?" Rory said, playing with his tie.

Tristan looked down into her eyes and said "That I love my girlfriend, of course."

Smiling, Rory took hold of the back of his neck and pulled him towards her. They hungrily kissed each other, completely oblivious to everything else. Suddenly, they heard someone clear their throat. Rory pulled back, causing Tristan to moan in protest. When he looked up, his moan turned into one of frustration. "How may we help you today Paris?" Tristan asked.

Paris scowled at them. "Just trying to get to my locker. Some of us are here to learn."

Rory exchanged a knowing smile with Tristan and gently pulled him away from the locker he had been pushed against. "Sorry Paris."

"Whatever." Paris slammed her locker and huffed off to her class.

Tristan starting laughing, causing Rory to playfully smack him. "Watch it, Bible Boy. I don't need her to hate me anymore then she already does."

"Who cares if she hates you? You got me, that's all you need." Tristan smiled cockily at her.

Unable to keep a straight face, Rory turned to walk away. Not turning around, she said "You coming?"

Tristan laughed and quickly appeared by her side. Grabbing her books from her arms, Tristan said "You know you love me."

A mischievous grin grew on Rory's face and she said "Now, if I only knew why."

"Funny, Mare, real funny." Tristan grabbed her hand and led her down the hallway, stopping every few steps to kiss her.

Tristan had dropped Rory off at home, just like every other day. He was coming back in just a few hours for the concert. Lane was sitting on Rory's bed, watching as Rory poured over the contents of her closet.

"What should I wear?" Rory asked, still looking at her closet.

"Trust me, I don't think Tristan will care what you wear." Lane had come to really like Tristan, having seen his obvious love for her best friend.

Rory smiled. "I know that, but I still want to look good."

Laughing, Lane walked over to Rory's closet and pulled out a jean mini-skirt and black halter top. "Here, this will work."

"Simple, but cute. I love it. Thanks."

Rory left the room to change. When she emerged, she heard Lane talking to Tristan at the front door. She walked over and watched the two. "Hey." Rory said, causing Tristan to divert his full attention to Rory.

Smiling, Tristan said "Hey Mary. May I say that you are looking fabulous?"

"Yes, you may." Rory closed the distance between them and gave him a quick kiss. Pulling back, Tristan wrapped her into a long hug.

Lane looked on and said "Guys, I'm gonna go before you start making out. Have fun at the concert and tell me everything later."

From behind Tristan's shoulder, Rory replied "Bye Lane. I'll call you later tonight."

Lane left, leaving Tristan and Rory still embraced in the hallway. After what seemed like forever, Tristan finally said "So,you ready?"

Pulling back, Rory said "Definitely. I can't wait."

Tristan walked Rory to his car, opening the door for her. Rory smiled at him as he got in the driver's seat. "You know, we have been dating for a while now, you don't have to keep up the gentlemanly charm."

Tristan smirked and seriously said "Of course I do, Mary."

"Well, if you insist."

Leaning towards her, Tristan slowly said "I do."

They arrived at the concert, Rory needing coffee. "Um, Tris?"

"Yes, Mare?"

"I need-"

Pulling out a thermos from the backseat, he said "Coffee?"

Rory smiled happily. "Well, you sure are useful to have around."

"What can I say, I know the way to a Gilmore Girl's heart."

"That I have to agree with." Rory smiled into his blue eyes, not remembering the last time she felt this happy. God, he is perfect.

Tristan stared back at her, thinking the exact same thing. He never thought that this would be possible. He is with Rory Gilmore, his dream girl. And they are happy. Leaning forward, he pulled her into a heated, passionate kiss. Rory opened her mouth, happy to let him in. They explored each other's mouths, already knowing every little detail. They continued until their lungs wouldn't allow it. Pulling back breathlessly, Rory said "Let's go Bible Boy."

"Whatever you say, Mary, whatever you say." Tristan followed her into the arena, his smile never leaving his face.
