Reviewers: Thank you all for reviewing. I truly appreciate every review.
Authors Note: Hey all ,Gilmore Girls is over for the season! Aw it's so sad I wish we at least had one more episode to go now we have to wait for like 4 months. I figured it out it roughly makes four months like 2 weeks of May, the summer and then like two weeks in September... Anyway I'm having another blonde moment lol as I start this chapter I can't remember if were on chapter 35 or 36 oops I'll have to check when I get home. Lol yes I'm writing a chapter or starting one at school yet again. I thought we were suppose to learn in high school... guess not. I'm glad that everyone is amused seems to like the fact that Charlie's gay. See I told you all he wouldn't cause problems for Rory and Tristan. Ah crap now I can't remember which day I said Tristan's birthday was on, ah what's with me today? I'm really going to have to reread the fic or something. It's kind of weird since this all basically comes from my head alone and I can't remember where I am or something simple that I wrote. Anyway just thought I'd tell you all that computers at schools (my school at least) are very screwed. This particular computer always seems to give me trouble. Yes this is off topic of well. Well that's about it for now , now onto the chapter!
Dedicated: This chapter is dedicated to my aunt Tracy, have fun and good luck!
Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls, and am not making any money off of this. Anything previously, or soon to be written has nothing what so ever to do with the real storyline of Gilmore Girls and never will.
Recap:
"Rory!" Lorelai called from the dining room. "Is that you?"
"Yeah mom!" Rory answered, glaring at Charlie. She slipped her shoes off and handed her coat to the maid as she continued. "It's us!"
Charlie and Rory quickly went into the dining room and sat next to each other at the dinner table.
"Sorry Mom, Dad!" Rory said, "We lost track of time."
"It's okay kids." Chris said with a smile. "It happens to all of us."
"Lorelai," Charlie said looking across at her "What's the matter?"
"Well…" Lorelai replied slowly. "I'm afraid I have some bad news."
"What is it?" Rory and Charlie asked wide-eyed.
"It's just too terrible for me to say!" Lorelai said dramatically, throwing her hand to her forehead. "I can't even think about it."
The teens turned to look at Chris expectantly "Well…" Rory said, "What is it?"
"This coming Friday," Chris said frowning "we have to have dinner with your Grandparents. The Gilmore grandparents that is."
"That's not so bad." Charlie said, looking at Rory, and seeing she was just as confused as he was. "There has to be more."
"There is." Lorelai said sighing "Because we are not going to be the only guests." She said ominously.
"Who else is going to be there?" Rory questioned wondering who could be going to make her parent's act this way.
"The DuGreys." Chris answered as Lorelai's head connected with the table.
Chapter 35:Rory and Charlie walked into Chilton the next morning after the shocking dinner the night before. Having gotten permission for Charlie to attend classes with Rory for the rest of the week, Smiling slightly they approached Tristan and Rory's locker. They saw that Tristan was already there but had his back to them. Rory smirked at Charlie and raised her index finger singling him to be quite as they approached him. Charlie nodded and grinned, glancing around at everyone who giving the two weird looks as they suck up on Tristan. Once they reached him, Rory quickly wrapped her arms around Tristan's waist, scaring him half to death.
"Ah!" Tristan screamed in surprise but immediately recognized the feel of Rory's arms around him. Turning around to face her he saw Charlie and Rory silently laughing at him. "Hey babe!" he said wrapping his arms around her waist as well. "That wasn't very nice."
"Sorry Tris!" Rory said smiling. "I couldn't resist."
Tristan faked a glare at her but was unable to stop himself from smiling. Leaning down slightly he moved to kiss her but Rory turned her head and the kiss landed on her cheek.
Raising his head, he looked at her questioningly, Rory innocently shrugged "Happy Birthday Tristan!" she said quietly before he could respond she rose on her tiptoes and kissed him soundly on the mouth. Before he had a chance to respond, she quickly pulled away.
"Hey!" Tristan moaned, leaning his forehead against Rory's. "What did you do that for?" He pouted.
"Sorry!" Rory replied, shrugging, as she pulled out of his arms. "But Charlie's kidnapping you so I can decorate our locker!" She said with a big smile.
"What?" Tristan asked confused.
"You'll see what she means later." Charlie replied for Rory. "For now, let's just get out of here." With that said, he grabbed Tristan's arm and dragged him down the hall.
Tristan showed Charlie around, during most of the time they had before first period. "That's the gym…" Tristan said pointing to two double doors "and that's where Rory and I have first period." Charlie nodded. "We should start heading back, the bell's going to ring in a few minutes." Tristan said, looking at his watch.
"Tristan" Charlie said slowly. as they were walking back to Rory and Tristan's locker. "We need to talk." He said ominously.
"About?" Tristan asked stopping in front of a bunch of lockers.
"Rory." Charlie said, not showing any emotion.
"What about her?" Tristan asked. "Oh! Let me guess, you want to threaten me! Am I right?" Tristan said, smirking.
"You're right!" Charlie agreed smiling. But quickly became serious again "You hurt her and I'll hunt you down and kill you. A lot of people may have already told you that but I truly will and I will not hesitate to cut off your reproducing parts. Believe me when I say this you hurt her you die"
Tristan paled and the two were silent for a moment. "I would never hurt her." Tristan finally said. His tone was quiet but confident. "I love her"
"I know you love her." Charlie replied. "I never questioned that. I can see it in your eyes when you talk to her and when you see her, your eyes light up. But…Dylan said that too and look at how that turned out." He said, giving him a knowing look.
"But I'm not Dylan!" Tristan pointed out.
"Maybe not…" Charlie agreed. "Still…he looked at her the same way you do, and yet he still managed to hurt her. Just don't hurt her and I won't have to kill you."
"Alright." Tristan agreed. "I promise I won't hurt Rory."
"Okay then!" Charlie said smiling, rubbing his hands together. "I'll see you later then I have to go pay Dylan a visit! Ta!" He waved as he turned and walked away happily, as if the conversation they just had, never happened.
"Bye!" Tristan called out to him. "See you in first period!"
Charlie waved but kept going.
'That guy is insane!' Tristan thought smiling to himself as he walked towards his locker. 'I gotta admit though…he's pretty cool!' he continued in his thoughts, as he made his way down the hall. Turning, he walked briskly to his locker. Tristan groaned once his locker came into view. Rory had put a huge sign on the locker that read 'Happy 18th Birthday Tristan!'. She had also taped balloons in his favorite colors, silver and blue, onto the locker as well. Ignoring the looks he was getting Tristan opened the locker careful not to break any balloons in the process. Groaning out loud having opened the locker. Rory had stuck even more balloons inside the locker, filling it from top to bottom. Inside the locker, she included silver and blue streamers, which were wrapped around everything, and seemed to be rooted to the locker.
"Like it?" Rory asked coming up behind him smiling.
Tristan turned and faced Rory, wrapping his arms around her waist "I love it!" he said honestly.
"Really?" Rory asked hopefully. "I heard you groan. I thought you didn't like it!" She said, eyes downcast, biting her lip.
"I was just shocked that's all!" Tristan replied quickly, not wanting to upset her. "My birthday usually passes forgotten, but you didn't forget. You also decorated our locker, and no one's ever done that for me."
Rory smiled happily and leaned up and kissed Tristan eagerly. He kissed back with just as much enthusiasm. Tristan pushed Rory up against the locker next to theirs. Sliding one hand to her hair he ran his fingers through the soft straight hair as Rory wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. Tristan lightly traced Rory's lips with his tongue, and she opened her mouth in invitation. Before either could do anything else the bell rang. With a groan they pulled away. Leaning her forehead on Tristan's chest, trying to catch her breath Rory asked, "Hey! Where's Charlie?"
"He went to find Dylan." Tristan answered. Bringing his arm back down to encircle her waist.
"Why?" Rory asked looking up at him. "Charlie never really liked him all that much, I don't understand why he'd go looking for him."
Tristan smiled, at Rory's obvious innocence. "I don't think he was looking for him to catch up." Tristan replied. "I think his purpose would lean more towards yelling at him, maybe killing him or something like that." He said, as he shrugged.
"But why?" Rory asked, wide eyed and completely oblivious.
"Because…" Tristan sighed "he hurt you and according to Charlie, no one hurts you and gets away with it. Not when he's involved. I bet he's doing what I would be doing if you'd let me. Now come on before were late for class." He said as he turned to his locker.
"But…" Rory protested as Tristan grabbed their books, interlaced their fingers and led her to class. "Charlie can get into trouble if he fights him again!"
Tristan stopped "What do you mean fights him again?" he asked , turning to face Rory his eyes flickering dangerously. 'If Dylan did anything to her in England…' he thought 'I'll kill him!'
Rory froze. 'I shouldn't have said that!' she thought. 'I know how Tristan gets when Dylan's involved. Now he's going to have another reason to hate him.'
"What did he do Rory." Tristan repeated in a quiet but serious tone.
"Tried to force himself on me!" Rory mumbled quickly.
"What?" Tristan screamed as the last bell rang and people turned and to stare at his sudden outburst. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because it was so long ago!" Rory said slowly. "I didn't think it mattered."
"Of course it matters Rory!" Tristan said gently, pulling her into an empty classroom. "Tell me what happened please!" He said begging her to tell him.
"But what about class!" Rory protested, trying to get out of talking about what happened. "We're late already, and we both miss way too much school as it is, and Charlie will be all alone in there! He only knows us!" she pointed out.
"I don't give a damn about class, Rory!" Tristan said. "You know this, and Charlie can handle being alone. He's a big boy." Tristan's tone left no room for argument. This didn't mean Rory wouldn't try.
"But…" Rory replied trying a new approach. "It's your birthday and I don't want to upset you on your birthday!" She said, her eyes pleading for him to let it go. Tristan, however, was having none of this.
"I don't care that it's my birthday!" Tristan said, lifting her up to sit on a desk, sliding in between her legs and bringing a hand up to cup her cheek. "I just want to know what happened so I'm not left out in the dark." He said soothingly.
"Oh alright!" Rory replied giving in. "But you have to promise not to do anything to Dylan if I tell you!" she said, pointing a finger at him and narrowing her eyes.
"I can't promise you that." Tristan said truthfully, looking deeply into her eyes. "I know I won't be able to keep that promise. But what I will promise is that I won't fight him. I have other ways to get back at him."
"You won't lay a finger on him?" Rory questioned.
"Not a finger!" Tristan promised.
"Okay" Rory replied, "Well it happened near the beginning of mine and Dylan's relationship…." Tristan nodded, urging her to continue.-Flashback-
Rory and Dylan walked hand in hand into the party. Music blared loudly through the speakers. Fourteen year old Rory looked around the party in amazement. Having never been to a party that wasn't supervised by adults before. Around her, kids milled about, drinking, talking and dancing.
"Lets dance!" Dylan said pulling Rory onto the dance floor just as a slow song came on.
"Okay!" Rory agreed wrapping her arms around his neck as the two danced.
A few hours later, after coming back with a drink for Rory, Dylan grabbed her hand and pulled her upstairs. Rory looked at him questioningly, but followed.
"What are we doing in here?" she asked as she followed him into a bedroom and watched as he closed the door.
Dylan sat on the bed before answering. "I wanted to talk." he said smiling up at her. "Come sit." He said, as he patted the bed. Rory sat next to him obediently. "What did you want to talk about?" she asked innocently.
"This…" Dylan replied smirking as he leaned over and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
Rory jerked back quickly, as shock ran through her. 'This is only our first date!' she thought as Dylan leaned over and kissed her again, she pulled away yet again.
"What the hell?" Dylan yelled as she pulled away. "I thought you liked me!" He whined, getting angry with her reactions.
"I do like you!" Rory said softly. 'I can't believe this is how my first kiss happened!' she thought, wide eyed. Still shocked at what had just happened.
"Then why do you keep pulling away?" Dylan asked annoyed.
"Because I think it's a bit to soon." Rory replied, beginning to get annoyed with his attitude.
"Well…its not." Dylan said more to himself than to her as he pulled her to him and kissed her again. This time holding her head in place with one hand, while the other slid around her waist.
This time Rory kissed back. Soon the two were in a heated make out session. When suddenly the hand that was on her waist slipped lower. Running his hand up and down her butt and thighs. Rory pulled away in shock.
"Stop it!" she said, but he didn't listen. Instead he pulled her head to his again and kissed her forcefully. Rory jerked away. "I said stop!" she yelled. Ignoring her he kissed her again this time placing a hand on her breast and squeezed.
"Don't!" Rory yelped jumping off the bed. Dylan looked up at her shocked. "What are you doing?" he asked watching Rory run to the door.
"Getting away from you!" she yelled as she ran out the door, tears streaming down her face.-End Flashback-
"Wow!" Tristan sighed in shock. Soon, his shock turned to anger. "I'm going to kill him!" He said, pacing the room.
"You can't!" Rory pointed out. "You promised! You wouldn't! Besides it was so long ago that it's pointless to fight about it now!" she said, looking down at her lap.
"I won't fight him." Tristan said putting his arms around her, sliding her off the desk. "I promised I wouldn't but that doesn't mean I can't prank him!" he said with an evil smirk.
"You're bad!" Rory said, leaning against Tristan laughing.
"And you love it" Tristan replied cheekily.
"That's right! I do!" she said smiling slightly.
"But wait!" Tristan realized. "Why did you stay with Dylan, after he forced himself on you? That doesn't seem like you." He said, looking at her curiously.
"He was drunk!" Rory answered offhandedly.
"That's no excuse, Rory." He said, giving her a serious look.
"Maybe not." Rory answered. "But I was young. Can we drop the subject for now?" She asked, her eyes pleading once more.
"Alright" Tristan agreed. "But we're going to discuss this later! You can count on that."
"I will!" Rory replied smiling. The two stood there silently holding each other close and looking into each others eyes for a few minutes.
"I love you!" Tristan whispered a few minutes later.
"I love you too!" Rory whispered back smiling up at him. Tristan smiled back. Suddenly, a thought quickly entered Rory's mind. Her smile faded. "Tristan," she said softly. "We have to talk."
"You're not breaking up with me are you?" he asked, the fear evident in his eyes.
"No!" Rory exclaimed "Nothing like that! I just remembered something, it slipped my mind when I saw you this morning." She said, smiling reassuringly.
"Okay then" Tristan replied leading Rory over to the teacher's desk. She sat down in the chair as Tristan sat on top of the desk. Hands still interlocked, "So what do you have to tell me?"
"Well" Rory said slowly "I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
"The good news!" Tristan replied, automatically. "Wait! No! The bad news first, so hopefully the good news can cheer me up!"
"Alright" Rory said. "This coming Friday my family and I have to go to my grandparent's house for dinner. That wouldn't be all that bad but guess who's family is also coming?"
"Dylan's?" Tristan asked amused.
"No…" Rory replied "…yours."
"Mine!" Tristan yelped "but why? Don't your grandparents know that our parent's hate each other with a passion?" He asked incredulously.
"They probably do." Rory admitted "but that doesn't matter to them. They live to make my mom's life miserable."
"Well this sucks" He said dejectedly.
"It does." Rory agreed.
"Wait!" Tristan said suddenly "You said there's good news, what's the good news?"
"Well" Rory answered "This is the perfect time to tell our parents that we're together. Don't you think?"
"I guess." Tristan agreed not completely sure if he thought it was a good idea or not.
"It is!" Rory said smiling. "Because they'll be forced to sit in the same room with each other and they won't be able to kill each other. Besides my grandparents will be there to supervise if they get out of control." She said, feeling pretty proud of herself.
"I suppose your right." He reluctantly agreed.
"Oh course I'm right!" Rory replied standing up "I'm always right!" She said before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him passionately.-Meanwhile-
Charlie wandered the halls after parting ways with Tristan. 'Where the hell is he?' he thought as he heard the bell ring. Charlie signed 'I better get to Rory's first period class!' Turning onto a different hall he headed in the direction that he thought was her classroom. As he continued down the hallway, he immediately spotted Dylan, walking with a group of males towards the classroom he was headed for. He quickly thought to himself 'This must be my lucky day!' he smirked as Dylan looked his way and caught his eye.
To say Dylan looked surprised was an understatement. He said something to his friends that Charlie couldn't hear, and then walked towards him. "What are you doing here?" he asked as they approached each other.
"I'm here to visiting Rory!" Charlie responded, smiling widely.
"I figured." Dylan said "Were you looking for me or something?"
"Come on, don't be dumb. You know I was." Charlie replied glaring slightly at the boy.
"May I ask why?" Dylan asked arrogantly.
"You know why." Charlie said angrily "You hurt Rory and you promised that you wouldn't do that again!" He said, taking a step towards Dylan.
"Hey!" Dylan protested. "She hurt me too! Shouldn't that be taken into consideration?"
"Hell no!" Charlie roared. "Rory didn't hurt you! You hurt her! I don't give a damn what you think."
"How do you think I feel?" Dylan shouted "Seeing Rory and Tristan all over each other all the fucking time! I love her and you know I do! I didn't mean to hurt her! I know I did but don't you think she deserves it, just a little bit? After what she's done and is still doing to me?"
"And what exactly is it, that she's 'doing' to you?" he asked using his and Rory's famous air quotes.
"Rubbing it in my face!" Dylan said, as if it was obvious.
"She is not!" Charlie yelled, but quickly quieted down once a teacher stuck their head out of the classroom and 'shh'ed' them.
"She's not rubbing it in your face!" Charlie repeated quietly, through his teeth. "They love each other and they can't help that. I don't even know why the hell I'm arguing with you over this! It doesn't matter what the hell Rory does with Tristan now. It's none of your business!"
"Maybe not…" Dylan agreed, as he looked down at his feet. "…but it doesn't make it hurt any less."
Charlie looked at Dylan sympathetically, but then he suddenly remembered why he was there. Making a fist as tight as he possibly could he hauled off and punched Dylan square in the face.
"Ow!" Dylan screamed in pain holding his noise and wincing at the pain, bending over slightly.
"It was good seeing you again!" Charlie called out cheerfully as he skipped down the hall.Wow! That was long! And I know it sucked sorry lol but a sucky update is better than no update at all! Anyway I wasn't going to leave the chapter there I was actually going to continue it, to skip ahead to Friday night and have Rory and Tristan getting ready for the dinner and leave it with Lorelai Chris and Rory standing outside the door but decided it was better to end it here so the next chapter will be longer than it's suppose to be. On another note I know I said Tristan's birthday was Thursday but I decided to change it to Tuesday, because it would work better for the fic and was easier to write this way. I also know this chapter was a bit fluffy I did that because hey they need some fluff sometimes. Okay so it wasn't entirely fluffy but oh well besides coming up very soon there is going to be lots and lots of drama! I added the whole Dylan thing for fun lol it was totally last minute I wasn't planning on it at all. This was basically a random chapter with the true meaning being hidden slightly like I wanted it to be, I added the whole decorating the locker for fun because that's what my friends and I do on each others birthdays lol. Well that's it for now!
Warnings For Next Chapter: Jumps ahead to Friday, and the disastrous dinner begins!
