The Beginning of a Beginning?

Disclaimer: I don't own Gilmore Girls, and I certainly don't own Tristan, but a girl can dream can't she?

A/N:

Tyler: Haha! How about not lol
Beautiful-Me89: yeah. I agree (with both things) :)
Yo-yo: nono you're not a bitch…I welcomed the flames remember? Anyway…I can kind of see what you mean about Rory over overreacting since she's pretty much in the same position Logan is in. Although she didn't tell Logan that she was meeting Tristan for coffee that morning, she still told Logan about him (like when they were in the café at Yale with Paris and about the kiss…so Logan knows about Rory's feelings about Tristan). Wait…nevermind…he doesn't know what Tristan looks like. I really didn't mean to make Tristan the bad guy, and I didn't mean to make Logan the bad guy either. I didn't want Logan to do some evil unforgivable thing even though that would be an easy way to get Rory mad at him. Lol…you're right it is a little ill-planned, but that's ok. It's my first fanfiction, and other people seem to like it, so next time I'll just try to think it out a little more. Thanks for the review :)
smile1: Thank you! I certainly hope so ;)
TiCkLeDpInK22: Thanks! When's your birthday anyway?
Alexia: Thanks! :)
Fallen Heart: yeah…I know about the jumping to conclusions too fast thing lol…I was attempting to make it so that Rory would end up going on the road trip with some sort of reason you know…but anyway we'll just keep going…I'm hoping to clear things up. And about the other story…You'll have to berate my best friend because it's supposed to be her turn to update, and she just won't though I've bothered her all week long lol she doesn't listen…sorry about that though :)

Chapter 7

::Konfusion with a K::

Rory was in the living room watching TV when she heard her cell phone ringing. She immediately jumped up and ran to her room to retrieve her phone. She flipped it open and pushed the "accept call" button.

"Hello. You have reached the nonexistent person's cell phone. If you are delusional, press 1. If you are confused, press 2. And if you would like to talk to the nonexistent person's best friend, the invisible man, press 3," Rory stopped talking after that, waiting for the caller's reaction.

It was Tristan on the line, as Rory had expected, and he just said, "Um…How come I can't punch a number to talk to Rory?"

"That's because you're already talking to her, duh!" Rory laughed. "Anyway. I assume you're calling to tell me about the plans for our trip."

"Yeah. We're leaving tomorrow afternoon at around 1:30pm. You should get to my house at around 11am, and we'll have lunch before we leave. Then, we're off, and we'll stop wherever your heart desires. What do you think?" Tristan asked.

"I think it's great. I can't wait! What a fun way to see the United States!" Rory couldn't contain her excitement.

"I'm glad you're hyped up about this trip," Tristan smiled into the phone. Tristan thought to himself, this is even better than it originally was. Not only do I get to see the country, I get to do it all with Rory Gilmore. I get to spend every day with her!

"So, your mom was okay with this?" Tristan asked uncertainly.

"Yeah. She said it's okay since you provide me with lots of coffee," Rory laughed.

"So…you're okay now?" Tristan carefully treaded on that topic, referring to the run in with Logan at the café.

"Huh? Oh yeah! I'm okay, I guess," Rory's voice faded as her mind returned to the incident.

"I'm guessing that guy was Logan, your boyfriend?" Tristan assumed since he had never seen Logan before. "Care to explain what went wrong in the café?"

"Yeah," Rory answered. "I don't know…I guess I kind of overreacted. I assumed he was kind of cheating on me, you know?

"Mary…if I might remind you…you were doing the same thing with me," Tristan tried to contain his laughter.

Rory's eyes went wide, "Oh my gosh! You're right! But…" Rory looked down at the ground, "It seems different though. When I looked in his eyes…I saw something. He felt guilty. I mean…if it was just a normal outing, like you and me, he wouldn't feel guilty about anything. He would know that he didn't do anything wrong. I just have this gut feeling. It's bothering me. That's why I need to get out of here."

"Have you told him that you're coming with me on this trip? What about your boating trip with him?" Tristan asked. He was a little concerned. He didn't want to break apart their relationship even though he wanted Rory really badly.

"No…I haven't told him, yet," Rory looked down at the ground again. She knew she probably should. "I don't know about the boating trip. Maybe after I get back from this trip. I think I'll call him after I'm done talking with you. At least then maybe we can gain some sort of understanding. Then, if he thought that I was cheating on him with you, I can clarify that, and he can justify his situation. Thanks again Tristan for providing me with a getaway car," Rory laughed at her last statement.

"Okay, Mary. I'll see you tomorrow then?" Tristan grinned.

"Definitely!" Rory hung up the phone, and began dialing Logan's number.


Okay…yes that was super super short…shorter than any other chapter I've ever written, but the reason I stopped was because I just realized that I need your guys' opinions. So, should I have Rory and Logan like "break up" (1) before the road trip, (2) during the road trip, or (3) after the road trip?

(1) If I do it before, it'll be during this next phone call. They'll talk it over and come to an agreement (I'm not a Logan-hater…I quite like Logan so I'm trying to break them up peacefully).
(2) If I did it during the trip, Rory would call Logan (this would be after her newfound love for Tristan) and tell him about how she's now in love with Tristan. And the later I do it, Logan might be more in love with Solange, you know. So not only will they have physical distance between them, but they'd both be in love with different people.
(3) If I did it after the trip, it would be much like option number 2.
However, if I do either number 2 or 3, I don't know how I'll get Logan to allow Rory to go on the trip. I mean, he'd be willingly letting her go with a guy who has a history of liking her. Then again, if Rory is really persistent and uses her Bambi ways, maybe she could convince him…I don't know…That's why I need YOUR help :) so don't let me down ;)

So review with your opinion, and I'll see what to do :) Thanks a lot guys!

The title is from "Konstantine" by Something Corporate. Rory is confused. She doesn't know whether or not to think that Logan was just meeting with a friend or if that friend was something more.
