'Rory!' Paris yelled about one month later. Rory ran into the common room.

'What?'

'The recognition has started.' Paris said handing Rory the newest issue of People magazine. It was opened up to an article. Rory scanned it and looked up surprised.

'But it's only been 6 months! It's still not done be editing!' Rory said shocked. There was about a two-page article on the movie, pictures and all.

'Well apparently this movie is going to get a good response.'

'Wait…does that mean that Tristan and I will have a public relationship?' Rory asked horrified at the idea.

'Depends how public you make it.' Rory smiled and ran out of the dorm to Tristan's but upon going out the building door, she bumped into her target.

'Whoa, Rory. Slow down!' Tristan said steadying them both. Rory shoved the magazine in his face.

'Look!' he also scanned the article and looked up surprised.

'Wow.' He said.

'I know! This is huge. Did we have anyone that was famous in our movie?' Rory asked.

'Our director has awards, and then we did have one of the best casting director's.'

'Why, because he picked me?' Rory teased.

'Well yea, because that brought me too you, but every film wants him.' They were silent for a minute.

'We're going to be famous!' Rory said gleefully. He smiled and kissed her softly admiring the shiny ring on her finger.

'You know, the only reason my mom wanted me to take this movie offer was so I would become famous and then I would make her famous. She was so excited that she'd finally have her 15 minutes of fame which would lead to her world domination.'

'Ahh so she has this whole big plan then.' Tristan said nodding knowingly.

'Of course! Don't expect any less of her.'

'How about some coffee and breakfast?' Tristan asked.

'What are you now? A mind reader?' Rory asked smiling. She took his hand and led him across campus and across the street to a local diner. They sat in a booth and picked up a menu that was lying on the table.

'Hi, my name is Isaac, and I'll be your server this morning. Can I start you guys off with a drink?'

'We're ready to order.' Rory said. Tristan looked up confused then went busy studying his menu.

'Oh, all right. What can I get you?'

'I think I'll get…. hmmm…how about Belgian Waffles?' Rory said.

'And to drink, miss?'

'Coffee.'

'Great, and sir what about you?' he asked collecting Rory's menu.

'Err…I'll have the country Omlette and orange juice, please.'

'Sure, thing. I'll be right back with your drinks.' He said before walking away leaving Rory and Tristan alone.

'So Tristan, as you know, I'm kind of new to the movie biz…what happens after this? We make money?' she asked.

'Well, we make money depending on the sale's profits, and on VHS and DVD sales. And I think we get like 5 on movie rentals, but I could be making that up.'

'Ahh…and what else do we have to do?'

'Well, we have a movie premiere which should be happening in about 5 months depending on when they release the movie—it should be about a month in advance. We show up, smile nicely, sign autographs and then get on with it. We do publicity which I'm surprised they haven't made us start to do that yet.'

'And what do you do for publicity.'

'Pictures, photo shoots, re creating of the movie. A website.'

'A website? Yay!' Rory said happily. Tristan laughed.

'I miss our cast. Everyone was so nice and Alex…holy crap was he talented.' Tristan nodded.

'He's going to be just fine in this world.' Rory nodded in agreement and accepted the drink that the waiter had brought. She sipped her coffee and sighed in appreciation. Tristan glared at the waiter who was looking at her a little too long.

'Hey buddy, we're not you're only table.' Tristan said. The waiter snapped out of his gaze and left the table. Soon they were served their breakfast and once again Isaac lingered at their table,

'What is wrong with you?' Rory asked him.

'What?'

'You're our waiter, not our shrinks so move on.' The waiter took a step then turned back.

'It's just that…you two look really familiar. I mean I know I've seen you two before, I just can't remember.'

'Page 43 of People magazine?' Tristan asked. The guy took a minute to think and his eyes lit up.

'Yea! You two are in an upcoming movie! Oh what was that name…something Eyes…Glass Eyes?…No…'

'Through Mine Eyes?' Rory asked.

'Yea! That's it. Wow, this is incredible. I can't wait to see the movie, I mean it's supposed to be one of the best films this year.'

'Oh. Can we please eat now?' Rory asked frowning.

'Oh yea, Sorry. Have a good meal.' The man said walking away.

'Well recognition numero uno.' Rory said taking a bite of her waffles. Tristan smiled and nodded.

'Babe, this is just the beginning.' He said as he took a bite of his egg. Isaac brought the check and stayed there once more. Rory and Tristan looked at each other and then him. He scratched the back of his neck.

'I know I'm probably freaking you guys out or something but…I mean, I've seen previews and I mean…wow.'

'Previews?' Rory asked confused.

'Oh yea. It came on after The Simpsons a few days ago. I mean I know I may be a guy and stuff, but you are gorgeous and that one scene that they showed some of, where you're in a bedroom and your—wow, I'm sorry. You're just really pretty.' Isaac said biting his lip. Tristan groaned. Rory smiled and licked her lips.

'Umm thank you.' Rory said taking out a sheet of paper and signed her name on it, then looked at Tristan who still had his head on the table and hit whacked him with her pen.

'What?'

'Sign.' She said telling him to sign the paper. He did and handed it back to Rory confused. She handed it to the boy.

'This is what you wanted, right?' Rory asked. Isaac stood in shock and nodded mutely. He had Rory Gilmore's autograph.

'I love you.' Rory said smiling.

'Ha yea you better.' He said kissing her hand. They got up from the booth and he put his arm around her waist as they exited the diner.

'So they're already previewing the movie. Interesting.' Rory said frowning.

'Umm Rory, you know how you asked me if I've ever been in any movies?' he asked stopping.

'Yea.'

'Well, I know I said I'd only been in small things, but that didn't include the photo shoots, and the small roles in the huge movies. You know, the people that only have 5 lines at max.' Rory's eyes were wide.

'How big of a movie?' Rory asked.

'Color Of Black.' He said cringing. Rory shook her head and grabbed his hand and started to walk.

'So umm…how well known are you?'

'Well let's just say that guy recognized me way before he knew what Page 43 in People magazine was.' Rory put her head against his chest.

'So this is big news that I'm engaged to you?'

'Umm…well, lemme show you.' They walked back to Rory's dorm and Tristan went to a website on Rory's laptop. A fansite came up. He let Rory sit down and when she looked at the screen she gasped.

'Tristan! Are you kidding me! You have SIX fansites!' Rory said incredulously pointing. Tristan went to another site and let her look at that one.

'And I have two.' She said deadpanned. Tristan looked gave her a hopeless look. She logged off and kissed him.

'Well ladies and gentleman, I do believe I am in a Hollywood Relationship.' Rory said staring at him.

'Sorry?' he offered.

'It's the price I have to for loving you.'

'Rory—'

'No, it's okay. You're okay…we're okay.' She said smiling and kissing him. He kissed her back and pulled her towards him.

'So how long until they figure out where we are?' she asked when they separated.

'I'd give it about a month until paparazzi is camped outside the campus.' Rory groaned but it was drowned out but Tristan's mouth over hers once again.

A/N: Alrighty! I have goosebumps on my arms but that's besides the point. All movies titles are ones that I made up and if there actually is a movie with that title, I don't own any of it. Through Mine Eyes (the one with Rory and Tristan), is mainly a romance movie but it has action and thriller moments in it so both genders would like it.

Yea, Chad and Sophia have separated and Chad has now admitted to cheating on her both while they were engaged and married. Sucks, doesn't it?

Please review, Thanks. Kiki.
