I'm not going to write the disclaimer on every page as I don't see any point to it.
Explanations
As soon as Rory closed the door of the Gilmore house she was assaulted by a barrage of questions from the other Lorelai who lived in the house.
"Why did you miss the bus?
"Who was he?
"Why didn't you tell me about him before?"
Lorelai peeked out the side window then said;
"Why is he still there ... and why do you look so shocked?" Lorelai asked, confused.
Rory replied, Slowly;
"I missed the bus because I was talking to Paris and him. He is Tristan Dugrey. I have told you about him before. Think E.T. I have no idea why he is still waiting outside there."
"I think you need to tell me a little more than that, my duck!" Lorelai said, looking quite eager to find out just what had happened between the two kids.
"OK. Give me some coffee and I will tell all." Rory said. She sighed, knowing that this was going to take guite a long time to explain.

About an hour later, both Gilmores were sitting in silence at the kitchen table, with two cups of coffee in front of each of them. Lorelai Gilmore was now completely up to date with all the information about Tristan
"Oh by the way," Rory said, "I'm going to be sharing a floor of flats with him for the next week."
"What!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Yeah," She said apolegetically, "It's for our social studies assignment, I can't afford to fail."
"Oh I don't care about that. This is brilliant, you are finally going to get a good looking boyfriend!" Lorelai said excitedly.
"Uh, mum. We''l be sharing a floor, with six other people. Plus, everyone is going to have their own bedroom and bathroom. Its not like I'm going to be sharing a bed with him. Honestly." she huffed, although it was under her breath.
"We'll see." Her mother said deviously
"Whatever, It's never going to happen.
"Anyway, I have to pack now and do my homework since I am not going to be here next week."
With that, she walked off to her room and shut the door. Rory quickly opened the door again and shouted to Lorelai;
"Oh, sorry, but you can't help me. We are only allowed to take one suitcase and with you the minimum I would be taking is about 3., besides, we have a packing list that we need to stick to."
Lorelai pouted, then stood up to put on some more coffee.
From her room, Rory, who could smell the coffee shouted; "Can you so me some too?"
"Of course!" Lorelai called back.

It was late Sunday afternoon and Rory was sitting in her room, checking that she had packed everything on the list.
"Hey Ror', we have to have a movie night tonight, OK!" Lorelai said enthusiastically.
"Yeah, sure, that would be great." Rory said, smiling.
"Okay you get the snacks and I'll get the movies. Meet back here in 20 minutes." Lorelai said, taking a jacket and walking quickly out of the door and towards the video rental shop.
"That is cheating." Rory muttered under her breath, then quickly followed suit, walking out the front door.
When Rory got to Doosies, she started down the snack aisle, grabbing anything and everything that caught her eye. She quickly payed, then walked back to her house as quicklky as she could, carrying an assortment of bags.
She got home and quickly put everything on the table in front of the TV. About a minute later, Lorelai bounced through the door, hung up the jacket that she and taken then walked into the room carrying her selection of movies.
"What did you get?" Rory asked.
"Well, I got Titanic, Romeo and Juliet, and Cruel Intentions. I thought the theme should be cute boys, considering the hotness factor of 'Tristan'. " Lorelai said, all in one breath.
"I will ignore that last remark. Anyway, I reckon we should watch Romeo and Juliet first, then Cruel Intentions, and we can finish up with Titanic. I bought plenty of snacks, so it should work out alright." Rory said.
"Brilliant, so shall we get started then? It's already five o'clock!" Lorelai said excitedly.
They settled down on the couch to watch the movies. Lorelai was mouthing all the words, while Rory was just watching them sleepily, and occasionally taking a handul of Pringles.
Rory fell asleep about an hour into the Titanic, so Lorelai turned the film off and lay her down properly on the couch.
Lorelai then walked up to her own room and fell asleep alomst immediately.
Sorry about the lack of Tristan in this one. I am at my Grandmas and could find no inspiration for him.
I might find some tomorrow though, as my couisin is coming over and he is a lot likeTristan in many ways.
The next chapter will be what happens onMonday.
