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.
The next day Rory woke up feeling as though she were floating.
Last night felt like a blur, it was so wonderful.
Rory stretched in her bed before jumping out.
She had a long shower before running to the kitchen.
Naturally Lorelai was waiting ready to bombard her with a thousand questions.
"Alright Munchkin spill." Three words with so much effect.
Rory smiled.
"Did you not hear me? Spill! I'm dying here!" Lorelai whined "I mean you come home floating on air. Kiss me goodnight and tell me what a wonderful mother I am (not that you had to or anything but you haven't told me that in so long), then run to your room and go to bed without saying a word. What could have possibly happened in the few hours that you were at Madeline's to make you act like you've done something slutty?" Lorelai stopped. "You didn't did you?"
"What?"
"Do something slutty."
"Depends on what your definition of slutty is."
"You know what my definition of slutty is."
"Then no."
"So what happened?"
Rory grinned. "I had a great night."
"I'm starting to get that impression."
"Guess what."
"What?"
"I have a boyfriend."
"I know that!"
"How?"
"Your slutty statement."
"Ah."
"Well?"
"Well what?"
"Who is he?" Lorelai looked as if she were going to wet her pants if she didn't find out soon."
"I don't know." Rory said mischievously, "I kind of like keeping you in suspense."
Lorelai pouted. "You're mean. You're punishing me aren't you? You're punishing me for that time I broke a coffee cup at Luke's and said that it was you." Lorelai folded her arms. "You really need to get over that. You were four! It's been twelve years! I can't believe your punishing me now. But nooooooo... that's what you do. You tick off all the things Mommy has done and wait for the perfect time for revenge. That's mean Rory."
"Mom."
"I never put you as the deceptive type before but boy was I wrong. I always thought that it was little sweet Rory with her innocent smile and prettiness. But nooooooo... you're sneaky, slimy Rory with her evil smile and prettiness. But this isn't the good prettiness. This is evil prettiness. This is prettiness that comes from the devil."
"Mom."
"That's what you did wasn't it? You must have slept with the devil in another life. And he has blessed you with evil prettiness and his deceptive, sneaky ways that you use to torture and punish your wonderful Mommy. Your wonderful Mommy, whom may I add, has loved you and cared for you and passed on her prettiness to you."
"I thought I slept with the devil to receive my prettiness?"
"That's beside the point."
"Are you done?"
"Yes."
"Good."
"Now will you tell me?"
"Yes."
"Whoopeee!"
"Tristan DuGrey."
Lorelai nearly fell off her chair. "Excuse me could you please repeat that name for me one last time?"
"Tristan DuGrey."
"WHAT?"
"Yeah."
"I knew it!" Lorelai jumped out of her chair. "I knew you liked him! I knew you were just hiding your feelings! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!"
Rory laughed. "Sit down Mom."
Lorelai sat. "So how did it happen?"
"I'm really not sure." Rory rested her head on the table. "He'd broken up with his girlfriend and he was upset. I was looking for somewhere quiet to read cos James and Lane were off somewhere and I found him. We actually had a normal conversation for once and the next thing I know we were kissing."
Lorelai was quiet for a few seconds. "Rory, be careful."
"What? Why?"
"Because you don't want to be with a boy that's on the rebound."
Rory lifted her head. "He's not on the rebound."
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you not get together like half an hour after he broke up with this girl?"
"Yeah, but he said that he'd liked me for months."
"I don't think that he didn't have feelings for you for ages," Lorelai said "He's been asking you out since forever. But still, don't get too close and attached straight away. You know what kind of guy he can be."
Rory nodded, "Yeah I know. Thanks Mom."
"You're welcome." They hugged. "Now tell me all the details."
"What details?"
"What's his kissing technique?"
Rory sat in the gazebo. She was waiting for Lane. She hadn't told James and Lane why she was so happy last night and she was going to tell Lane first. She'd tell the rest of the group later.
Just then her cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Good morning."
Rory smiled, "How, may I ask did you get my number?"
He laughed, "I have my ways."
"And what would those ways be?"
"You are very stubborn you know that?"
"I've been told." Rory leaned back into the gazebo seat. "What ways would those be?"
"Ahh but you see, I am also very stubborn and I will never tell." Tristan smirked on the other end.
"You will never out stubborn me."
"Oh but I will."
"I can't believe we're having this conversation."
"Neither can I, you may as well just give up."
"Nope, but I will, however postpone this topic until another day."
"Works for me." Tristan said. "How'd you sleep."
"Good." Rory grinned.
"Dream of me much?"
"You wish."
Tristan laughed, "I do wish, but that wouldn't be good on your part."
"Why?"
"Because I usually get what I wish for."
Rory smiled, "What did you wish for?"
"You."
Rory felt a blush spreading on her cheeks. "You wished for me?"
"Of coarse." Tristan said. "So you wanna get together sometime today?"
"I'm sorry." Rory smiled apologetically. "I'm already meeting someone today."
"James?" Rory could almost hear the jealousy in his voice.
"Lane actually. Tristan," Rory began "James and I are good friends."
"I get that."
"Do you?"
"I do."
"Please don't be jealous of him."
"I'm not."
"Good." Rory looked up and spotted Lane. "Tris, I have to go."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Lane grinned at her and sat down. "Who was that?"
Rory put her phone away, "Well, now that you mention it... I have some news for you."
"Does this have anything to do with how you were acting on the way home last night?"
"Just a bit." Rory took a breath. "Brace yourself."
"I am bracing."
"I am going out with Tristan."
Silence.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm going out with Tristan."
Lane stared.
"You?"
"Yes."
"Going out?"
"Yes."
"With the guy you hate?"
"Well obviously I don't hate him."
"How on earth did this happen?"
"And that's what happened."
"Wow."
"Yeah."
"So Alex was right."
"I wouldn't say that she was totally right." Rory said "I did dislike him a bit. I doubted him.
"And you don't anymore."
"Yeah."
"Are you sure about that?" Lane asked.
Rory looked confused. "Of coarse I am. Why would you say that?"
"You don't sound too confident."
"I'm confident."
Lane nodded. "I'm happy for you Rory. I only want you to be happy."
Rory hugged her. "Thanks Lane."
AN: Sorry that took so long! But thank you soooooooooo much to everyone who reviewed. I love you all 4 eva and eva!
