Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews last chapter: heavenleigh88, melako17, krandtm'sgrl, Mongoose 187, LoVe23, trory-love08, bebacg and mrmp.. Do you not like the way it's going? If so than please write a suggestion for me! Since the last one was short this one is longer. I really do appreciate the reviews! Keep doing it please!

And all you people that said so, I thought I would make Rory a little bolder. Also I thought it would be cute for Rory to kiss Tristan and not the other way around. Anywho on with the story!

trory-love08- yeah it was kinda rushed, and didn't happen the way I originally envisioned. But to late now lol!

Chapter 4

The Blizzard

Tristan

I was now driving to Stars Hallow. Rory had told me that was where she was staying with her mom for Winter Break. I was really deep in thought. Why had Rory kissed me? I assumed she still hated me, like in high school. I was surprised she had even agreed to go out with me! Let alone kiss me!

"So Mare were do you want to go to eat?" I asked.

She seemed to snap out of her own reverie, too. "What?" she said a little dazed, and then she blushed a soft shade of pink.

I had to hide a smirk, was she thinking about the kiss, too? "I asked you where you wanted to go, Mare," I repeated.

"Oh, how bout Luke's?" she replied. "That's my step dad's diner," she added.

"Sure," I responded. She then told me the directions.

"Where is it, Ror?" I asked confused. All I saw was a grocery store, a hardware store and a beauty shop.

Rory giggled. "It's over there," she said pointing to the hardware store.

"Are you sure, Mare?" I said confused. "It looks like a hardware store to me."

"It is," she insisted. "Look in the window."

"Okay, let's go then Ror," I said grabbing her hand and pulled her toward the diner. But Rory didn't budge. She stood in the middle of the street, her eyes wide and darkening. Her dark hair was wind blown, and her face was paling.

"Mary"

"Mare, are you okay?" I asked softly, she was scaring me.

She then looked up at me as though she had forgotten that I was there. "Yeah, but I feel more like Chinese, if that's okay," She replied.

"Err… sure," I said confused, but I'll play along.

"Okay, we can walk over to Al's Pancake World, and we'll order some food to go. And we'll eat at my house."

"That's fine, but I thought you wanted to get Chinese," I was bewildered again."

That earned me a grin and chuckle from Rory. It made me feel better to see her smile.

"So much to teach," she said shaking her head and smiling. Rory linked her arm with mine and lead me south down the road away from the diner.

Had Tristan turned back to Luke's Diner he would have seen a young man with dark hair looking out the window staring at him and Rory.

Rory

I knew Luke was gone, because he and mom are at Puerto Rico for a vacation. But I hadn't expected him to be there. I had thought it would be Caesar who covered for Luke.

I sighed. It had scared me so much to see him again. Especially with Tristan. Wait why would I be nervous about Jess seeing Tristan? He just wanted to be with me like a friend, right? For Pete's sake, Rory! He might have girlfriend, hey it could happen. Or he only thinks of me as a friend! Calm down, Rory! Just think of him as a friend. Don't even think of him as a guy. I looked at him beneath my lashes. It was very hard to think of him as anything but a guy. Just try your best Rory!

A few minutes later

At the Gilmore house

"You really weren't kidding about the rooster," Tristan said.

I sighed and grinned. "I know nobody believes us when we tell them that."

We walked to the other side of his car and they each grabbed a bag of food.

"Why did we order so much, Rory? We're only two people but we ordered for a dozen!"

"Then we'll have leftovers!" I replied smiling. Mom would have said the same thing. "Wait here, Tristan," I said.

I walked around the porch looking for the turtle mom kept the key in. I had left mine in the house. I found it and opened the doors. Tristan went in and I followed him I was about to close the door when the wind picked up and it started to snow more. A blizzard. It didn't look like anyone will be going anywhere. I sighed it looks like I'm stuck with Tristan.

I started to walk to the kitchen, but stopped. I have the best idea to do with Tristan! I rushed into the living room.

In the kitchen

Tristan

I had looked around and then found the kitchen. I was now unloading the cornucopia of food.

"Hey Trist," Rory yelled from the living room, or what I assumed was the living room. I smiled at her calling me that. "Bring the food in here." I groaned of course she had to say that after I had unpacked it all. I loaded the food back up, and headed toward the living room.

Rory was standing in the living room. She was grinning about something.

"What's going on?" I asked nervously, Rory had kind of an evil look on her face.

"We are going to have the worst film festival!" she said beaming.

I groaned. "Okay, what movies are we gonna watch?" I asked.

Rory grinned again, "Cool as Ice, Hudson Hawk, and Electric Boogaloo."

"But Rory it's already 7 o clock and they're each like two hours, right?" she nodded. "So it's going to get to late I won't be able to stay up long enough to drive home."

"Tristan, you could stay here." Was Rory Gilmore really asking me to stay in her house? At night?

"That's okay, Mare, I'll just go now. We can watch the movies tomorrow if you want," I said.

"Well to bad you're stuck with," Rory said.

"I'm what?" what did Rory mean 'stuck here'?

"Take a look out side for yourself," Rory said. Okay, what did that mean?

I walked over to the door to look out side, confused. I was met by bursts of wind and snow. I shut the door and turned back to the living room.

"Hey, Mary, do you mind if I stay here and sleep on the couch?"

She nodded "With one condition."

Sighing I asked, "What?"

She grinned and turned on the TV as the beginning credits were running. I sighed and sat by her on the couch.

A few hours and two and a half movies later

We were half way though Electric Boogaloo, the last movie. It was now past midnight. I looked over at Rory, because she had been quiet for awhile. She was lying on the couch while I was sitting on the floor. Rory's head was lying on a pillow, and her eyes were closed. She was asleep.

"Rory," I whispered. "You have to go to bed."

Her eyes fluttered open.

"But I'm watching the movie," she whined.

I chucked, "okay," I answered. "You'll have to get up when the movie's over, though."

About an hour later

(When the movie's over)

I looked behind me at Rory. She was asleep again.

"Mary," I whispered

SILENCE

"Rory!" I said louder shaking her. "Time to get up!"

"Go die," she mumbled in her sleep.

I sighed. I put my arms under Rory, and grunted as I carried her to her room.

I covered her with the blankets on her bed.

My Mary looked so peaceful in sleep, and, if possible, even more beautiful.

I leaned over her and kissed her on her brow.

"Goodnight, Mary," Tristan said and left her to sleep.

After Tristan had shut the door Lorelai Leigh Gilmore turned over, and smiled in her sleep.
