A/N: I love the reviewers! Sorry my chapters are so short. I usually just type something up and then update it before I head off to school. I'm writing this on Wednesday, and I'm hoping to get it up today or tomorrow morning. I've been studying all week and have a Math test tomorrow and a History and Science test Friday. My teachers always give the best Christmas presents! Wish me luck!
Lorelai opened her cell phone and went to push the ignore button.
"You can't ignore her!" Rory said.
"Sure I can. All I have to do is push the pretty button."
"Mom," Rory said in pleading tone.
"What? This is a great button. It has gotten me through many times. We've bonded."
"Answer the phone or I will," Rory replied.
"Fine, you answer it," Lorelai said as she handed the phone to Rory.
"I don't want to answer it," Rory said.
"Well, you offered."
"But it's your phone," Rory said.
Lorelai gasped. "Are you saying you lied?"
"Yes, now answer your phone."
The phone stoped ringing.
"Aha! Thank the good God above!" Lorelai said.
The phone started ringing again.
"No, what did I do to deserve this?" Lorelai said.
"Um, maybe thinking about ignoring your mother had something to do with it," Rory said.
"Well at least I didn't lie to my mother," Lorelai replied.
"I didn't lie to Grandma," Rory said.
"No, you lied to me."
"When?"
"Just now. You told me you were going to answer the phone. Liar, liar pants for hire!" Lorelai said.
"Quoting the Rugrats? Very mature," Rory replied.
"I never claimed to be mature."
The phone stopped ringing again.
"Now, don't ring again," Lorelai said to the phone.
The phone started ringing again.
"She doesn't give up," Lorelai said.
"Fine, I'll answer it," Rory said.
"Hello?" Rory answered the phone.
"Rory?" Emily Gilmore said.
"Hi Grandma," Rory said.
"Where's your mother? You know she should really answer her phone. This is the third time I called!" Emily said.
"I know Grandma, we were just…busy," Rory said. Well, it's not a lie. We were busy talking.
"Here you girls go. Sorry it took so long. The guy at the counter wouldn't believe me that you girls wanted four cups of coffee each," Tristan said as he walked up to the table.
"Who's that?" Emily asked.
"Um, no one Grandma. We are just in a coffee shop. It's probably someone around us," Rory lied.
"Are you sure? It sounds like that person is talking to you. And that voice sounds familiar. I can't quite put my finger on it. Is it a someone from Chilton? It's definitely a boy. Do you have a new boyfriend? What's his name? Who are his parents? Where does he live? How-," Emily said.
"Grandma!" Rory interrupted.
"Yes, Rory?" Emily asked.
"Um, how's the DAR?" Rory asked unsure of what to say to change the subject.
"Oh, they're fine," Emily answered quickly. "Now, I want to know about this boy!"
"Um, what boy?" Rory said. Why does she have to be so persistent? Maybe she'll buy the playing dumb act, and just forget about the whole boy thing.
"The boy that's sitting next to you," Emily said obviously not giving up.
Lorelai and Tristan sat there helpless. I mean, what could they do? It was Emily Gilmore.
"Here, hand me the phone," Tristan said to Rory. I'll fix this somehow. I can't just sit and watch her suffer. I mean this is Emily Gilmore she's talking to. Everyone knows that saying no to her is impossible!
"Uh, hold on Grandma," Rory said and took it away from her ear before she could hear her grandmother say how rude it is to do that to her.
"What are you going to do with it?" Rory asked Tristan after she put her hand over the bottom half of the phone.
"I'm going to answer all of her questions," Tristan answered.
"Do you realize who that is? That is Emily Gilmore," Lorelai said to Tristan.
"Yes, and I know that she's, well she's like all of the other DAR women, but don't worry I've grown up having to deal with people like this. I've got the DuGrey charm!" Tristan explained.
"All right, but don't blame me if you get roped into doing something," Rory said handing the cell phone to him.
"Mrs. Gilmore?" Tristan asked answering the phone.
"Yes? Who's this? You're the boy next to Rory! Who are you? What's your last name? Where do you live? Who are your parents?" Emily interrogated.
"Well, this is Tristan Janlan DuGrey and my parents-"Tristan said getting cut off.
"DuGrey? Excuse me for a moment." Emily replied.
"Richard! Richard! Richard where are you? I'm talking to Rory's boyfriend no the phone! Guess who he is! Richard? Richard! Richard, listen to me!" Emily screamed.
"Emily, I'm right here. Can't a man finish reading his newspapers?" Richard answered standing next to Emily.
"Guess who's on the phone!" Emily said.
"Oh, I don't know. Is it one of your DAR friends you're always gossiping with?" Richard asked.
"No, it's Tristan DuGrey!" Emily answered.
"Ah, nice boy, much like his grandfather. I still don't understand what all the screaming is about," Richard said.
"He's Rory's new boyfriend!" Emily said excitedly.
"Boyfriend? Well, invite him to dinner then. We have to make sure he's worthy of her," Richard said.
"They just make the cutest couple!" Emily said.
"Hello?" Emily asked when she put the phone back up to her ear.
"Yes, Mrs. Gilmore. I'm still here," Tristan answered.
"Well, I would like to invite you to dinner with us on Friday," Mrs. Gilmore said.
"Well, I gladly accept. What time should I be there?" Tristan asked. Dinner? Why did I have to try and be Rory's knight in shining armor. Now I'm going to have to sit through dinner with Mrs. Gilmore.
"Wonderul! Is seven-ish okay?" Emily asked.
"Perfect," Tristan answered.
"Okay, well I'll let you talk to Rory now. See you Friday!" Emily said.
"Goodbye Mrs. Gilmore."
"Goodbye."
Tristan hung up the phone and turned to Lorelai and Rory.
"Okay, well I'll be at the Gilmore's on Friday at seven-ish," Tristan said.
"Oh, no. Why didn't you say no?" Rory asked.
"No? You wanted me to say no to Mrs. Gilmore?" Tristan asked.
"Okay, unrealistic," Rory answered.
"Wait, let me get this straight," Lorelai said. "She told you to be there at seven-ish?"
"Yes?" Tristan answered.
"How come everytime I arrive seven-ish I get yelled at? I'm her own daughter this isn't fair!" Lorelai said.
"Okay, we better get going now," Rory said.
"This is inhumane!" Lorelai said.
"Yeah, we should," Tristan agreed.
They all got up and started to put their coats back up.
"Are you two going to agree with me or not?" Lorelai said.
"Come on Tristan," Rory said.
"Rory? I'm you're mother!" Lorelai said.
"Do you hear something?" Rory asked Tristan.
"No, it's probably just the wind," He answered.
"Haha, real funny! You guys are SO mature!" Lorelai said.
They all started to walk out the doors. Tristan and Rory were ahead of Lorelai.
"Guys! Come on! I don't like to be ignored! I need my attention!" Lorelai said.
"So Tristan, are you ready for the English test we have coming up?" Rory said.
"Hmm, well I don't know yet. I guess I'll find out if I was ready after we take the test and get out grades back," he said.
"True, true," Rory replied.
"Okay, 1, 2, 3, eyes on me!" Lorelai said.
Neither Rory nor Tristan looked at Lorelai.
"I should have known that wasn't going to work," Lorelai said.
They came up to Tristan's car and they all got into their previous positions.
"Well, since you two won't pay attention to me, I get to pick the music!" Lorelai said pouting.
Tristan and Rory just laughed, and the drove off while Lorelai blasted whatever song she felt the need to.
