Rory and Tristan were curled up in his bed watching a movie the next day after the Lunch with her Grandfather.

She still hadn't told him that she had to go to the Ball with John yet.

"Tris?"

"Hm?

"Are your parents making you go to this Coming Out Ball?" Rory asked innocently.

"Um, yea, but I don't have to be in it. I just have to go for the dinner and all that crap. Why?" He asked confused to why they were talking about this.

"Oh nothing..."

"Okay." Tristan said, not thinking to much into it.

"Tristan?" Rory asked again.

"Yes babe?" He said smiling down at her, amused to why she was acting so different.

"I lied."

"About?"

"About no reason for asking about the ball. See, the truth is I have to go to the ball and be in it. And John as to be my escort, but it wasn't my idea. It was my Grandfathers, actually it was my Grandmother's idea, but it was her biggest wish to see John and I to go to this and I didn't mean to agree to it, but somehow my Grandfather roped me into it. And now I can't get out of it. And I really don't want to do it, but I'm gonna do it and get it over with. But what about John? And what about you? I can't break up with John now! But there is no chance in hell that I'm ever breaking up with you again! I don't know what to do!" Rory rambled crying slightly.

"You have to go with John?" Tristan asked.

"Yea.." Rory said quietly, biting her lower lip.

"Rory, you can't!" Tristan said loudly getting up off the bed and standing in front of Rory.

"I have to!"

"What about me? You gonna forget about me again? Go back to that jackass who hits you Rory? Is that what your going to do!" He yelled.

"No! I have to do this Tristan! I don't have a choice! If you stopped being such an asshole and listened to me for a second, you would hear me tell you that I love you and that I'm gonna break this off with him when this is over!" Rory yelled right back.

Tristan looked at her for a second before smiling and kissing her sweetly.

"We fight a lot." Rory said softly when they broke apart.

"That, my dear, is because we have so much passion." Tristan said smiling at her and wiggling his eyebrows, brought her done on the bed.

A couple hours later, Tristan and Rory laid in each others arms, not sleeping, but not talking. Just enjoying the feeling of each other.

"How are we gonna do this?" She asked quietly.

"I guess we go back to our old way, hiding it from him." He sighed, kissing her softly.

"I love you more than anything." She said against from the crook of his neck, where she had her head resting.

"You too."

They stayed like that for a minute until Rory's cell phone went off, Rory groaned and grabbed it from the bedside table.

The caller ID said 'John'.

Rory watched ast it went to voice mail and looked up sadly at Tristan, throwing her cell phone and curling up against him again.

"It starts." Tristan said smiling softly at Rory.

Rory's week was spent with pretending to not want to flinch with disgust when ever John kissed or touched her and getting her dress and things ready for the ball.

Rory had told her Mom and Jess and Mark about Tristan and her being together again, but about the situation they were in.

Lorelai wanted to call her Grandfather and tell him she wouldn't do the Ball, but Rory told her not to, because after this, she would be done with everything. Jess and Mark were happy and wanted to kick John's ass now.

Rory hadn't told any of them about the incident with John, it would cause to many problems.

Rory called Tristan every chance she got and had found herself in a deserted classroom once that week. Tristan claiming he would, 'die if he wasn't able to kiss her that very instant.'

Rory was a nervous wreak now.

Tonight was the night of the ball. The night that would be the end of John and her's 'relationship' and also the start of her and Tristan's at home with everyone knowing and not having to hide.

Rory got ready for the ball, getting her dress on, doing her make up and her hair, and enduring the mocking from Jess, Mark and her mother.

Tristan got his Tux on and just wanted this night to be over as quick as it could. Not wanting to see John and Rory together a second longer. And a little excited that they wouldn't have to sneak around for once.

While John got ready with a steady smirk. Tonight he was going to have Rory Gilmore...

Whether she was ready or not.
