Hey people sorry about the lapse…again – but my battery broke and so no computer. But – thank you loverly people for your reviews.

Oh I'm looking for a beta – anyone, anyone?

This isn't that great but tell me what you think anyway. Loveme.

Rory was rushing around her room attempting to get ready "mum! Its not here!"

Lorelia popped her head out from under the couch "well its got to be somewhere Rory – and after checking the fridge, the oven, my room and the underside of the couch all I have come up with it two dollars in change, my mothers pen (again) some pez from like a year ago and some Chinese left overs I forgot we had in the fridge."

"Are you sure you haven't worn them?"

"Positive."

"Can you check your room for me anyway?"

Lorelai nodded and moved away from her couch and up to her room. Jess and mike walked though the door with Tristan and were only meet with noises of both girls shuffling in there rooms. "Rory?" Jess asked walking towards her door.

"oh hey."

"Tristan's here."

"Ill be there in a minute ok?"

Jess nodded and disappeared as she kept scurrying around her room as she looked up to the ceiling of her room. "have you found it yet mum?"

"no – but if we don't find them there's an alternative pair up here, looking both pretty and similar."

"no mum – I want THAT shoe." After a few more minutes Tristan appeared at her door holding a shoe. He paused and watched her for a few minutes. She was beautiful. She was always beautiful. However she bit her lip as she looked for her shoe and her dress was amazing. A strapless black dress that reminded him of old photos of Grace Kelly, stopping before her ankles and showing her small curved waist before flaring out. the whole thing was covered with a layer of black lace and a band of ribbon went around her waist and came into a bow on her side. Her hair was all pulled up in curls and his attention was drawn to her neckline that only had a think silver line across it. As she turned he saw the heart dangling from it. Her face light up at the sight of him "hey."

He took her in for another second, the makeup that seemed nonexistent and the smile that reached her ever sparkling eyes. "your beautiful"

She blushed slightly and looked to the floor playing with her skirt a little "well mum did a great job with the dress. Exactly what I wanted." She commented running a hand along the ribbon in her hair.

"no."

A moment of confusion passed her face before he corrected himself "well yes. The dress is great but that's not what I meant. Your beautiful."

She smiled and walked over to were he lent against her door frame. "hi." She mumbled part fixing part playing with his tie. He smiled and brush back a loose lock gaining eye contact. "hi." As he pulled back from there kiss he held the shoe out "is this the one you're looking for?"

She smiled and clapped slightly and pulled him in for another kiss "thanks." She mumbled before holding onto him and slipping the shoe on. "mum! You can stop looking!" she called as she walked to the mirror and fixed her lip-gloss and checked her hair for the final time. She then picked up the black clutch that was on the bed and looked back at Tristan "ok?"

He smiled slightly "still just as beautiful as I thought you were two minutes ago. Maybe more."

A half hour later they were standing in front of Tristan's house. Holding hands as she took a breath. He glanced back over to her "you ready?" after one more breath she nodded and he opened the door. She was fine as they walked through the lobby. She was fine for the half hour they spent talking to random people she had never met. However she then stood frozen in front of his father as she watched the way they responded to each other, while not cold it wasn't really the warmest either, maybe a degree or two above Lorelai and Emily but definitely below Lorelai and Rory. After a few moments Tristan avoided a question about school by introducing Rory. Mathew quickly glanced over Rory before allowing a small smile to grace his features "hello Rory was it?"

"yes Mr. Dugrey. Rory Gilmore. Pleasure to meet you." She responded with a warm smile holding out her hand.

As he shook it he questioned "Lorelai's daughter then?"

She nodded slightly "yes sir."

He nodded a little more "That's where that's smile from then. A Gilmore."

Tristan paused "you know Lorelai?"

"Emily is a very close friend to your grandmothers." A graying business man approached them and tried to pull the elder Dugrey from them, "your mother probably knows Lorelai better than I do Tristan. Do tell your grandparents I say hello Rory."

"ill be sure to sir."

After more of the very same conversations and dinner, much like something Emily would prepare and more conversations Tristan was driving Rory home. "so…that was fun."

Tristan chuckled "if you though that was fun wait until you meet my father out side of the party scene."

Rory paused "I'm seeing your father outside of the party scene?"

Tristan sighed "oops. My dad mentioned you were a Gilmore to my mum. My mum sussed out that I've spoken to you for…you know longer than two days and you have an IQ above your age so has decided that you're an actual girlfriend rather than a girl. And as a part of acceptable society and the like first girlfriend she suggested me inviting you to dinner."

"I'm the first girlfriend?"

"…well…" Tristan coughed and looked steadily on the road.

"cause…you know I'm not to sure if I'd be your first girlfriend but I'd consider being your girlfriend."

"yeah?"

"hmm…maybe."

"well…ok then."

Rory couldn't help but laugh before putting on a funny deep voice and repeating "well ok then."

They pulled up out front of Luke's. and she turned to face Tristan "so dinner with your family?"

"mmmm. It will be somewhat traumatic."

"traumatic?"

"mmm – so I'm thinking that maybe I should take you out for ice cream after – try to restabalise your emotions."

"Ice creams good for that."

"yes. However, I'm not sure if it will be enough."

"It wont."

"no. very doubtful. So maybe – as its my fault you have to deal with my family – and therefore I feel tremendously guilty and responsible, I should take you out the next day – maybe start around lunch – as it gives you enough time to wake up and eat breakfast and have ten minuets to get hungry again. And then end with a late movie?"

"well I wouldn't want you feeling guilty about my emotional instability now would i?"

Tristan chuckled and lent in for a kiss before they agreed on plans and Rory left the car and joined her mother in Luke's, where they discussed the whole thing over large cups of coffee with very girly giggles and pie.
