After Rory refused to go into the details Tristan tried to invite her to stay in, but she plead the need to study and to meet up some other time.
The next morning:
"Whoa, Mary. Are you okay there?"
"Need coffee, stupid Paris gave her boyfriend the last of MY coffee. It's bad enough I have to see him in her robe, now I am coffee-less and if you don't move out of my way Bible Boy there may be severe consequences."
"Why don't you take my coffee while I keep you company in line?"
"Oh you are a god, coffee how I love thee." Rory starts before going for her first gulp, which she proceeds to spew back out all over Tristan. "Decaf! You gave me decaf? What a cruel thing to do. You now owe me two gigantic drinkable coffees to repair the damages done by that horrific experience."
"Bossy aren't we?"
"And I held back, Oh-Evil-One."
By this time the pair had made their way to the front of the line where Rory sullenly orders, with a glint in her eyes. "Hey Nate, how are you this morning? Now, I need double my usual, seeing as someone," she glares pointedly at Tristan, "for some reason unknown to man gave me decaf, of all things."
Nate chuckles at his customer's antics. "Morning Rory. Coming right up." As he starts Rory's order he turns his attention to Tristan, "How about you Decaf, anything?"
"Uh, yeah, small decaf, sugar, no cream."
"No, Tristan, I can not watch you participate such sacrilege, Nate make that three of the usual, Bible Boy here needs to understand what coffee is."
Nate just shakes his head at Rory's behavior while he makes Tristan what she says. He hands Tristan the cup, "Sorry man, I have seen what she can do when you go against coffee orders. Not pretty."
Rory pouts, "You did not just say that I'm not pretty." She tosses her now-empty first cup away and moves on to her second.
"No, of course not. Your mom gave you control over the pretty stick. It just doesn't affect a caffeine-deprived Gilmore's attitude." Nate replies as he gives Rory her change. "So I'll see you later?"
"Yeah. Paris and Doyle are going at it everywhere and I'll need it to survive the paper. We'll make plans for the gig later, I've got to get to class." Rory shouts as she drags Tristan away towards her class. "Now what were we talking about Bible Boy?"
"Before your mocking of my coffee?" Rory nods. "We were simply expressing pleasantries."
"And were you pleasant?"
"I am always pleasant Mary."
"Mr. Ego, welcome back. It's been a while. Now as much as I would love to continue being stifled by it, this is my class." Rory turns into the doorway.
"It's been a pleasure Mare. How about we get together later? You know, catch up, find something else mockable about me, could be fun."
"Uh, okay. Keep the ego to a minimum and I'm there."
"Eight then, I'll drop the ego off at my dorm and pick you up." Tristan starts walking away, right before he turns the corner Rory races out of the room.
"Do you even know where I live?" She screams down the hall.
"I have my ways." Tristan smirks back and continues on his way without turning around.
