Disclaimer: Sorry I forgot this in the first chapter. Anyway, I do not own Gilmore Girls. If I did Rory wouldn't have dropped out of Yale, she would have dated Tristan after she kissed him at Madeline's party, and I also love Finn, so he would date Rory, too.
Background: Season 2.Okay, there was no Dean or Jess. Tristan didn't get into trouble with Duncan and Bowman. Rory never went to Madeline's party, and she never set Paris up with Tristan. Paris only likes Tristan like a brother, and if you have anymore questions, please ask me because I'm having trouble thinking up all the things that happened and didn't happen.
A/N: I'd like to thank the reviewers. You guys are wicked awesome! This was just something I thought of, and I can't believe you guys liked it! You not only made my day, but also made the rest of my life! I love you! You're my sunshine! Oh, and I'm sorry this chapter is shorter. I wrote it really quickly, and updated before I got ready for school.
I know I love to get acknowledged on my review by seeing my name in the A/N, so I'm going to list you guys:
GGluvr1987- Thank you so much! I honestly didn't think I would get any reviews. I hope you like this chapter also!
Renee205- I can't wait to see where I'm going also! I'm just letting my fingers do the thinking, and then I go back and read what I have written.
soph- Thanks! I'm glad that I didn't waste your time.
r- I like the banter also! That's what made Tristan stand out more than Dean did on the show. The only thing is, is that I'm not that good at writing, and I have never really written anything before, so I'm trying to get the banter in, but I'm not sure if it's working.
eternalgorithm- Thanks! I hope it's going to be cute! I'm just not so happy with the way Rory is on the new episodes, so writing about when she was still in Chilton makes me feel better!
vni164- Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!
kelz3192- Thanks for being my first reviewer! I'm so glad you liked it! Your story is great also! I can't wait to see what happens next!
"Finally," Lorelai said once Headmaster Charleston finished yet another boring speech. To put it simply, he was pretty much just saying that he was wonderful, and everyone should bow down to him.
"So, before he starts another speech, let's get out of here?" Rory said more as a question than a statement.
"Mary! Did I just hear correctly? You want to skip school?" Tristan asked in fake shock.
"Well, I wouldn't normally do it, but I just can't risk the chance that he is going to start talking again," Rory said exasperated.
"How about we go get coffee?" Tristan asked. "There is this new place called Extreme Caffeine. It's supposed to be really good."
"He's amazing!" Lorelai said to Rory out loud.
"Shhh! He doesn't need the ego boost. Plus, you just say that because he offered you coffee," Rory said to her mother.
"Well, Rory, may I remind you what's in the Gilmore Girls' Handbook? Never deny coffee, and when someone offers you coffee, they automatically become amazing," Lorelai said back to her daughter.
"So…if you guys want coffee, we should probably leave now. It looks like Charleston is holding a stack of papers, and the papers don't look very interesting," Tristan said.
"Run!" Lorelai said. Then, she pretended to trip. "Oh, I have fallen! Save yourselves!"
"No! I can't leave without you!" Rory said in a fake dramatic way.
"Well, am I allowed to be the knight in shining armor in this little play?" Tristan asked. These are the two most amazing women I've ever met.
"Depends Bible Boy," Rory said. "Does that offer for coffee still stand?"
"Of course! I would never take coffee away from you two!" Tristan said. "From what I understand, you girls need it to survive!"
"Wow! You're wise!" Rory said.
"You have past the first test," Lorelai said while walking next to Tristan and Rory.
"Test?" Tristan asked.
"Yes, you will be tested all day to see if you are worthy to spend time with the Lorelais," Lorelai said.
"But even if I don't past the tests, I still get to spend time with you," Tristan said.
"Yes, but you'll never be able to see us again," Lorelai said. I should have thought of a better comeback. I need more fuel!
"Anyway," Rory said. "Let's get going. I really, really, really need coffee after those speeches."
"Sorry to break it to you Hun, but that was only one speech. It was just really, really, really, reeeally long," Lorelai said.
"One speech? Even you and I can't talk about one thing for that long," Rory said shocked.
"I know, it was quite impressive, but he hasn't beaten us. He gets points taken off of his score for talking about such a boring subject," Lorelai said.
The three of them started to walk down the hallway. First, Lorelai grabbed Rory's arm and put it through her own, and then she grabbed Tristan's and did the same. After about ten or fifteen seconds, she quickly interlocks Rory and Tristan's arms and stood behind them. When Rory tried to pull away, Lorelai held Rory's arm to Tristan's. "Come on Rory, this guy is getting us coffee! You can at least touch him!"
Rory just blushed. Why don't I know what to say? And why is it that when he touched me, my arm felt all tingly. It must be because my mom is squeezing my arm. Well, it's not like she squeezing it tightly, so how can that be it? Oh, well maybe she was squeezing so tightly, that my arm became numb, so now I can't tell that she's squeezing tightly. Yeah, that's it! Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Tristan call her name. Then, she realized that they were in the parking lot of Chilton, right by Tristan's sports car. She saw her mom jump into the back seats. She finally noticed that Tristan had his hand held out to her, and had opened the passenger's side door. She quickly took his hand and sat in the car without saying a word. Okay, so it's not my mom's harsh grip that caused the tingling.
Tristan went around the other side and got in the car also. He turned on the car and said," So, next stop Extreme Caffeine!"
No one was really talking for the first couple of minutes. Lorelai and Tristan were singing along to Back in Black, You Shook Me All Night Long, and Have a Drink On Me by AC/DC.
"So Rory," Lorelai said after Tristan had turned off the music. "Are you going to tell us what you were thinking about when you zoned out before?" I know she was thinking about Tristan! I mean look at him! I'll just do a little match making today! Love is in the air!
"I don't know what you're talking about," Rory said. Maybe if I just deny it, she'll get the hint to wait until later to ask me.
"Uh, yeah you do. Or have you forgotten that just a few minutes ago when we were walking out to the car, you were thinking really hard about something?" Lorelai asked. I'm not going to back down that easily.
"I guess I don't remember," Rory said. I can't believe she's doing this to me! The fruit of her loins!
Just as Lorelai was going to say something else, they arrived at the coffee shop. "We're here," Tristan announced. Okay, so hopefully it won't be like that in the coffee shop. In the car, I was afraid of what would happen if I came into the conversation.
They walked inside the coffee place, but not without Tristan opening all the doors for Rory and Lorelai. "My, my, aren't you a gentleman," Lorelai said.
"I try," Tristan replied as they stepped further inside.
"It smells so good in here!" Rory exclaimed. Coffee always makes things better.
"Yum! I can almost taste it!" Lorelai exclaimed. Coffee is so wonderful! I wish I could take baths in coffee, along with Sookie's peach sauce!
"I vote that instead of just smelling it, we can drink the coffee! We'll get some coffee, chocolate, and we can engage ourselves in a wonderful conversation!" Tristan said.
"Chocolate too!" Rory said amazed. "Wow, you really are a god!"
