Chapter Twenty-One: Dance The Night Away. Author: AngelDani Rating: PG-13 for some major swearing, sexual tension and some mild sexual references in later chapters Pairings: Trory, Narco Disclaimer: I own nothing in Gilmore Girls. If I did I would not only be one of the richest people alive but I would also be the happiest person alive coz I'd be surrounded by so many hotties! Summery: Rory Gilmore just moved to Chilton from SHH, there she meets Tristan, who is basically the King of the school, and boy does he know it. When Rory stops Tristan from beating someone up and practically yells in his face, war is declared. Authors Note: In this story Rory is gonna be a little OC. She's still gonna have her personality, but I'm gonna make it that she's into martial arts and she loves to play pranks. Also, from now on, there's gonna be a bit of narcoleptics in this story. Not a whole lot, but just enough to give Tristan some competition.

So far the date was royally screwed.

Tristan and Belle crashing was horrible. Now Rory kept on thinking about him.

So much for this date taking her mind off him.

And what was worse, Dean actually was looking as though he was enjoying himself.

"Belle do you go to Chilton with Tristan and Rory?" Dean asked.

"Yeah." Belle said.

"Is it as bad as Rory says it is?"

Tristan raised his eyebrows at her.

"It's okay." Belle twirled some blonde hair between her fingers.

"What's wrong with Chilton Rory?" Tristan asked a smirk appearing on his face.

You know perfectly well what's wrong with Chilton, Rory thought. "Oh just not what I'm used to."

"Which is?" Tristan was digging for more info about her and she knew it.

"Just more laid back." Rory was deliberately dodging his question.

"Hello, are you ready to order." Saved by the hot waiter guy, Rory thought.

"Yeah we are." She said. "I'll have the chicken parmesan."

"Ummmm...." Belle scanned the menu "I'll have the beef ravioli."

"I'll have the lasagne." Dean said.

"I'll just have a steak." Tristan said.

"Okay." the waiter scribbled down their order. "You're food will take about twenty minutes. Feel free to use the dance floor." Then he walked away.

"Hey that sounds good." Rory said desperate to get away from Tristan, "How about we dance Dean?"

"Sure." He smiled at her.

"Fun." Tristan grabbed Belle. "Let's dance Belle."

Belle's eye's brightened as Rory and Dean headed off to the dance floor "Okay! Let's go." She got up so fast that she almost spilt the bowl of breadsticks. Picking them up and blushing furiously Belle said, "Oops." She giggled.

It took Tristan the greatest of powers to restrain himself from rolling his eyes.

Taking her hand he led her to the dance floor. Rory and Dean were already dancing. Dean holding her closely as if he'd never touched a girl before.

Tristan frowned as he watched them.

Belle noticed Tristan's face, "What's wrong Baby?"

"Huh?" Tristan looked at her "Oh nothing."

"Doesn't seem like nothing," She rubbed his chest, "You seem upset Baby. Tell Belle what's wrong?"

"Everything is fine okay!" He pushed her away when suddenly an idea came to him. He brought her closer to him, "Hey Belle, you wanna make me happy right?"

She smiled at him, "Of coarse."

"Why don't you run out to the car and get my Bowie CD." He knew for a fact that she wouldn't find it. His Bowie CD was in his CD stack at home. It would take her a few minutes to figure out it wasn't there. Considering her current state.

"Sure!" Then without even questioning why she ran out.

Tristan straightened up and put a cocky smirk on his lips. He went over to Rory and Dean.

"Hey guys!"

Rory's eyes widened. "Where's Belle?"

"She just headed out for some air."

"You didn't go with her?" Rory asked.

"Nope!" He grinned at her.

"Okay." Dean said.

"Tristan is there something you want?" Rory was exasperated

"Actually yeah. I was wondering if I could have a dance with one of my good friends."

Almost immediately Tristan could see both Rory and Dean's guard go up. "I'm dancing with Dean." Rory said.

"Just one dance as friends."

Rory opened her mouth to protest when Dean said, "Shouldn't you wait to dance with your girlfriend?"

"She'll be a while. She told me to keep myself occupied."

Dean's eyes narrowed in distrust.

Tristan held up his hands, "Totally a friend's thing, nothing more. I'm here with Belle, remember?"

Rory was shaking her head, "No Tristan, go wait for your girlfriend."

He gave her a puppy dog look. "Pwease?" he said in a baby voice.

"No."

"Rory," Dean said to her soothingly, "Calm down. Tristan's girlfriend is back anyway."

Damn it! Tristan thought. She's not as dim as I assumed. He plastered a fake smile on his lips, seeing a way in. "Perfect. Belle Baby," he said to her before she could say one word about the CD. "How would you like to dance with Dean for a bit."

Belle looked at him blandly, "Why?"

"We're doing a little swap for a few minutes." And before anyone could get in another word, he grabbed Rory and pushed Belle into Dean's arms.

As he'd expected Rory was fuming.

"You have some nerve you know!" Rory all but screamed at him.

"I'm just dancing with a friend." Tristan said as he pulled her closer to him.

"Friend? When the hell have we ever been friends Tristan DuGrey?" Rory said angrily and tried to detach herself from him.

"Shhh..." He rubbed her back and tightened his grip on her. "Just relax and enjoy being this close to me."

"I will never enjoy being close to you!" She snapped even though her body was screaming otherwise. She liked this and she knew it. Even though she was denying it. His body was much more strong than Deans. "You have a girl here with you and still you're doing this!"

If Tristan had a free hand he would have waved it carelessly. But he wouldn't let go because he knew if he did she would surely run away. As if he cared about Belle. "Belle's having fun. Take a look."

Rory turned and saw Belle smiling at what Dean was saying. "You know that's what you're problem is Tristan. You believe that girls are toys that are to be played with and that they don't have any feelings. Well guess what. There is no way I'm gonna let you tow with me so I suggest you leave me alone." And with that she pulled herself out of his grasp and went back to the table. Tristan trailing behind.

As soon as Dean and Belle saw Rory and Tristan go back to the table they did too. Dean smiled at Rory but didn't look at Tristan, "Have fun?"

"if you would call it fun." Rory mumbled.

"Alright, Food's here!" The waiter was back. "Enjoy!"

They ate their meal with the occasional small talk added, Rory was quiet during the meal but no one seemed to notice except Tristan.

"That was great!" Dean said as he finished.

"Yummy!" Belle squealed.

"Yeah it was great." Rory smiled at the two of them. She sort of felt sorry for Belle. All through this impromptu double date Tristan had basically been ignoring her and it was obvious that she was crazy about him.

"Look's like we can do a little more dancing." Tristan said. "What do you say, Rory?"

Rory rolled her eyes, "Dance with you're girlfriend Tristan. Come on Dean." She took his hand and they went to the dance floor.

Tristan didn't say anything. He just smirked and led Belle to dance.

Across the floor Rory and Dean were dancing and talking. "Ror?" He asked.

"Yeah?"

"I'm gonna ask you something and I want you to be honest with me."

"Okay." She said even though her instincts were screaming, Red Alert! Red Alert!

"What's going on with you and Tristan?"

Rory gulped, "It's just, we're not exactly friends at Chilton."

Dean raised an eyebrow. "It doesn't seem that way. To the naked eye it looks as though he has a thing for you."

"He doesn't." Rory assured.

"Rory," Dean looked kindly down at her. "I think you know better than anyone else that this date hasn't been going according to plan."

"It hasn't, but it's alright."

"I wanna ask you something else."

"Kay."

"Can you see us being more than friends?"

Rory frowned on the inside. Honestly, if she asked herself, no. She hadn't wanted to be with Dean ever since this date began and the only reason she hadn't cancelled was to take her mind off of Tristan. She couldn't see this relationship going anywhere. "We could work on it." She said, unsure.

"That's a no." Dean said, looking disappointed. "Rory, I know that you like me but not in that way. I could sense it from the start."

Rory blinked.

"I think you're gorgeous and really sweet but if we're gonna have a relationship, feelings have to go both ways."

Rory was starting to get agitated. This was only their first date for heavens sake!

"I'd really like to get to know you better. But from now on as a friend sort of way." He finished.

Rory bit her lip. "Okay Dean." She let go of him. "Wanna head back?"

"And face the dynamic duo?" He laughed "Sure."

Rory smiled as she and Dean drove home. All through the night Tristan had been he's same annoying self and Belle was fed up with him by the end of it. It serve's him right! Rory thought, screwing with my date. But in the end it was for the best. Her heart wasn't really in it and she didn't really have that strong a feelings for Dean. Dean was a nice guy. Just not her type. But what exactly was her type? Rory pondered this through the ride home. Maybe the date hadn't gone so well. But she'd made a new friend. And in the end, that's what matters.
