Chapter Nine:
Rory awoke to the blaring sound of her alarm clock; it was yet another Monday morning. She hadn't been able to go to school on Thursday and Friday due to the evil cold that she had somehow managed to get and from the looks of it she wasn't sure if she wanted to go to school today either.
She'd spent all weekend trying to recover from the flu and Lorelai had made continuous brief visits to the house. Rory had enjoyed them very much since Lorelai had brought her coffee and pie and even managed to smuggle a few of Luke's donuts into the house.
She'd also called Paris on Friday and apologized but Paris had sounded a bit distracted. Rory did however find out later that night that she and Jess was now an official couple and that they had gone on their first date.
Paris had called her and was practically screaming into the telephone.
Flashback
"Hello" Rory said as she answered the phone.
"Rory it's me."
Rory had just woken up and couldn't distinguish the voice on the other line, "Who's me?" she asked.
"Rory Gilmore!" Paris said hotly.
"You are?" she asked confused. "I'm Rory Gilmore to." She'd been so drugged up that she wasn't even aware of how stupid she was acting.
"Rory its Paris," Paris clarified.
"Oh so who's Rory?" Rory asked stupidly.
"You're an idiot!" Paris exclaimed, "What are you doing? Did you take too many pills?" Paris asked.
"I was sleeping. What time is it?"
"Time to get up, I have to tell you. Oh my God. I finally had my real first date."
"You did? Oh yeah," Rory said as she remembered vaguely about Lane blabbing into the phone, "Lane told me last night. Why did she know before me?" she asked Paris.
"You weren't talking to me," Paris complained.
"Well I am now. I wanna know," Rory demanded.
"How about you open the door so that I can come in, its cold outside."
"You're outside?" Rory asked in shock.
"No duh."
"It's open 'Miss Obvious'."
A few seconds later Paris had already entered Rory's room and found a comfy spot on her bed, "Are you sure you're ok?" Paris asked. "You don't look so well."
"It's just a cold," Rory answered. "So what happened?" she continued.
"Well it was amazing!" Paris screamed.
"Details. Lots of them!" Rory almost screamed.
"Ok so he asked me out on Thursday. He actually called me and he was like 'Wanna go on our first date?' and I was in total shock because he was asking me out so I said ok. He picked me up and then he brought me back here to Star's Hollow and we went to the bridge. He had this whole moonlit picnic set up. It was so romantic," Paris gushed.
"I didn't think Jess was a hopeless romantic," Rory said playfully.
"I know and then half way between the date he kissed me. I was like a fish out of water and somewhere in between the whole thing I actually told him that was my first kiss and he laughed. Was he supposed to laugh?" Paris asked with urgency in her voice.
"You told him?" Rory giggled, "He wasn't supposed to but he's an idiot. What else happened?"
"We talked for a while and he told me about his mom and well we talked. So then anyway he said that he should probably get me home. So he drove me all the way back to Hartford and walked me to the door and kissed me on my forehead and said that we should go out again and I said yes and then he kissed me again but this time he kissed me so... so..."
"I get the picture," Rory said, "Unfortunately," feigning horror.
Paris blushed. "I think I'm in love," she said.
"You know you sound like Louise."
"Oh God I sound like an airhead. Someone help me," Paris said in horror.
Rory couldn't help but laugh.
End of flashback
Rory heard Lorelai trample down the stairs, "Mom?" she asked.
"Yeah babe?"
"Do I have to go to school today?"
"Can you breathe through your nostrils?" Lorelai asked as she poked her head into Rory's room.
"No."
"So no," Lorelai smiled.
"Oh."
"You look happy? Why do you look happy when you're sick."
"I had a dream," Rory blushed.
"You had a dream?"
"Yup. I had a dream."
"A dirty one?" Lorelai smirked devilishly.
"MOM!"
"I had to ask," Lorelai laughed, "It's a legitimate question."
"It was about him," Rory confessed.
"Why do we referee to him as him?"
"Cause we can't say his name. Someone might hear and then Miss Patty might remember him and there'd be this whole rumor that I'm in love with the blond boy that gives Brad Pitt a run for his money."
"A rumor only huh?" Lorelai asked mockingly.
"Yes a rumor," Rory said defensively.
"Uh huh. I believe you," Lorelai replied sarcastically.
"Mom!"
"So the dream? What was the dream about?"
"Him."
"Tristan," Lorelai said at the top of her voice.
"MOM! Someone will hear you!"
"Tristan. Tristan. T-R-I-S-T-A-N," she spelled out loudly.
Rory pouted, "I'm not going to tell you now."
"Oh please please. I'm sorry. I love you. I'll give you coffee."
"I can get my own coffee."
"Like you're gonna walk over to Luke's," Lorelai said matter-of-factly knowing that Rory was in no way going to get off her bed.
"I won't have to."
"So how do you plan on getting the coffee Princess Rory?" Lorelai questioned.
"I'll call Jess and tell him to bring me some," Rory said proudly.
"Oh," Lorelai said accepting defeat, "I want friends like that."
"Mom it's already six fifty. You'll be late for work."
"Oh sweet honey iced tea!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Ha that's new. Have you been playing with the kids at the Inn again?"
"You're still gonna have to tell me when I get home," Lorelai said noticing that Rory was trying to change the topic, "So make sure and remember it ok?"
"Right. I promise."
