Riiiiiing...Riiiiiiiing

"Uh," Rory groaned, "Who on Earth is calling at his ungodly hour?" The clock read 10:20 on a Saturday morning. Rory felt for the phone and muttered m u r d e rously,"State your purpose!"
"Good morning, sunshine," replied an all too cheery, wide awake voice on the other end of the line.
"Mom,"whined Rory,"You know the coffee maker doesn't turn on until 10:30."
"Aw, sweetheart, I just had to call and tell you. You see Michel called in sick today-"
"That's great, Mom, but did you really have to wake me up for that? I mean I know this is a rare, pleasant occasion, but I just graduated and I have tons of sleep to catch up on."
"Ror, you didn't let me finish. Anywho so Michel called in sick and I was manning the battle stations at the front desk when in walked in the most gorgeous, amazing, handsome, de baunoir guy and GUESS WHO IT WAS!"
"Brad Pitt?"
"No, he's married and with that whole bearded, hairy bum look he's got going right now, handsome isn't exactly a word I would use to describe him. Think Chilton..."
"CHILTON!?!"
"Yes, indeedy."
"We're talking about a guy right?"
"Yea!"
"I didn't know any guys at Chilton."
"A contrair, Juliet, you did..." Lorelai's voice trailed off.
Recognition hit Rory slap in the face.
"Tristan..." she managed to gasp out unbelievingly.
"Ding, ding, ding,ding,ding. He's so cute! He must have just gotten back from military school. I tell you, those sit ups he's been doing have really..."
The rest of her mother's words were blotted out as Rory was overcome with a flood of emotions. It had been so long , she'd thought she would never see him again.
The day he left was etched forever in her memory. She'd put it back in her mind, though it'd haunted her dreams for so long. She'd never gotten to say goodbye...

[SouthernBelle]

Tristan wandered aimlessly through Independence Inn. This was her hometown. His Juliet...Rory. She was the promise that kept him going at military school. When the sargeants, commanders, and higher officials persecuted him, knowing him only as the rich boy from Hartford, he held on to the fact if he made it out he could see her again. It'd been a little over a year, but with Rory as his goal, he'd surpassed any other cadet and his father said he could come home.
Wonder what the catch is?
It was no hidden fact Tristan wasn't wanted. In one of their rare moments of love for one another, his parents conceived Tristan. Sure, he'd had nannies and every toy money could buy, but all he wanted was a relationship with his parents, to be bonded by love...and not simply by blood. He tried to find someone to take the place of the empty void inside him. G irl friend after g irl friend and none of them could satisfy his need. Used by his guy friends for material things, he was so popular and yet, so alone. He became hard inside, a player looking to use and be use as had been done to him. He was immune to pain and no longer cared about other people's feelings. A body with no spirit, until she came along and revived him. She with her books and shyness, her witty comebacks and passion for coffee. Rory with the striking blue eyes that posed as a window to her very emotions. Tristan saw something in her so different than the rich superficial snobs at Chilton Prep. She was beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. He knew she wouldn't be won be won by someone with nothing, but a handsome face. She needed someone with character, intelligence, someone that could talk to her for hours on end and never run out of things to talk about. He could be that someone and so much more. He would be the person she would trust enough to not keep her emotions pint up inside. If ony his brain didn't turn to jelly each time she glanced his way and all he could do was fall back on his conceited, self assured persona. The Tristan he'd used to win so many h e a r ts...except the one he truly wanted.
Arriving in the dining hall, Tristan sat down thougthfully at a small round table decorated with a flower patterned cloth and a small vase containing a single daisy in it.
"Would you like to order something," a plump red head asked politely.
"Yes, thank you. I'll have the breakfast special and an ice water, please," he answered smiling.
"Sure thing, sweetie, and if ya need anything ask for Sookie," she walked off smiling.

~*Rory*~
"Rory...Rory? Hello? RORY?"
"Ah," Rory screamed snapping out of her memories.
"Well, space cadet where ya been? Oh, oh, oh, I know! You were away on a tropical island and Tristan was your cabana boy and-"
"Mom," she blushed,"my day dreams are a little more...realistic. So what were you saying?"She changed the subject.
"While you were off in la la land, I was asking if this developement might have peaked your interest in working at the Inn this summer??"
"Mom, I'll have to think about it. I have alot to prepare for, I am going to Yale in the fall."
"What's to prepare for? The benevolent Grandma Gilmore has given her divine consent to spend as much money as needed on whatever it is you college people need."
Rory sighed and debated.
"Thought about it yet?," Lorelai Gimore interrupted her thoughts.
"No"
"How bout now?"
"I'll tell you my decision when you get home."
"Picky, picky! Whatever you say. See you at nine. Go rent some movies, kay?"
"Alright, bye Mom," she hung up the phone and proceeded to flop on the bed. "Lorelai Leigh Gilmore, you just got yourself a summer job," she said outloud.
That decision made she crawled out of bed and poured herself a cup of coffee. Taking a sip, she plopped herself into a chair and began to despairingly bang her head on the table in an act of utter confusion. As if God sent, a rapid knock came at the door stopping her self abuse.
"Rory! RORY!,"a familiar voice squeaked," Save me!"
"Hi, Lane," Rory smiled opening up the door for her best friend.
"She's gone crazy...stark raving mad," she panted.
"Are we referring to Mrs. Kim?"
"She... found...lip gloss...in my bot..tom drawer. I've been saying prayers...of repentance.. for the last hour. She went to the bathroom and I ran."
Exhausted, Lane threw herself on the couch.
"Don't worry, if a rather frightening voice calls muttering Korean under her breath , I'll simply tell her it was my lip gloss. That you were hiding it because my mother had become intrigued with your values and taken them on as her own. In a desperate attempt of rebellion, I begged you to keep it for me. You, being my best friend, finally gave in. When your mother went to the bathroom, you saw the light and ran here to tell me the ruse was up. You could no longer help me be so defiant."
"Eureka,"Lane smiled," It's brilliant!"
"I know, I know, what can I say? I learned from the best"she laughed thinking of her mother.
Giggling, Lane asked,"So what's new with you?"
Rory froze. Lane had momentarily caused her to forget her distress.
"Lane, Tristan's back... "she spoke quietly.
"WHAT?" Tornado Lane began asking a million questions. "Are you talking about Tristan, spawn of Satan? The one theat harrassed you each day calling you Mary? Tristan, the guy that felt the need to partake in public displays of affection right beside your locker?"
"Yes, Lane,"Rory ansered,cringing at the bad memories,"but he changed, he was my friend."
Lane looked unsure.
"I don't know. I guess I've just missed him that's all. Now he's back and I just want him to be the Tristan I knew. The deep one who was so...different. I never even got to say goodbye"
"Ror," Lane sighed, hugging Rory,"if he's right for you he'll be just the way he was when he left. Now are you and your mom watching movies tonight?,"Rory nodded and Lane continued,"Well, then let's go get some!" With that she dragged Rory out of the living room and sent her to change.

*~Tristan~*
"Attention," a sturdy deep voice yelled. Tristan jumped from his seat and turned, and stood in military stance. There was Lorelai Gilmore, bright eyed and sunny, saluting him.
"At ease," she grinned.
"Ms. Gil-"he started.
"Lorelai," she interupted," Ms. Gilmore sounds so...old." She shivered. "Didn't think I recognized ya, huh? Think again, soldier! You made a very impressive Romeo. We never did officially meet. Lorelai Gilmore," she stuck out her hand.
"Tristan DuGrey," he said, relaxing.
"Mind if I take a seat?,"she asked not waiting for an answer as she pulled out a chair and sat."So what's the Soookie special?"
"Blueberry pancakes and two slabs of bacon."
"Oh, oh, and coffee?"
"Er, um. I don't know."
"Sookie the usual," she screamed, not caring if the rest of the dining room heard her.
"Okay, dallin," Tristan heard Sookie's voice reply form somewhere.
"Meanwhile back at the farm," Lorelai laughed. "Why here and not Hartford?" she questioned, her manner changing serious.
"I wasn't ready to return back to them...my parents.," he replied a bit taken aback by her sudden change of character."I decided to go to the most peaceful town, I know. Stars Hollow. I told them I was going to take a quick vacation and would be there in a week or so. They have no idea that vacation is within a 30 mile radius of them,"he smirked.

~*Rory*~
"Hey, mom," Rory said wairly, taking notice of her all too smiling face as she walked into the kitchen. "What are you so happy about?"
"Ah, good day, good day. So what'd you get to watch tonight?"
"Steel Magnolias and Pearl Harbor."
"Ror, um cry fest! What's wrong? Why you so gloomy?"
"I don't know Mom. I'm just...I don't know."
"Well, have you decided on that lil question I popped earlier?"
"Yes"
"Yes you've decided or yes you'll work at the Inn this summer?"
"Yes to both"
"Woohoo! We are going to have so much fun! Oh, we can wear matching outfits. Hmm, what do you think about gray? Suits maybe? Or, or pinst-"
"Whoa, you're scaring me. In no way shape or form will we dress alike. We're mother and daughter NOT twins."
"Roww," Lorelai hissed," easy there cowpoke."
"Ahh! You see. You see what he's doing to me? I haven't even seen him yet and I'm already going crazy! Hormonal! Uhh,"Rory huffed.
"Tristan? Did i forget to mention I had breakfast with him today?"
Rory's attention was completely focused on her mother.
"No, you forgot to tell me that little detail."
"Oh," was all Lorelai said as she walked out in to the living room and popped in Pearl Harbor.
"Is that all you're going to tell me?"
"Yes, now if you'll excuse me I'm trying to get my daily intake of Ben and Josh."
"Mom, this is only the previews. Now tell me," she said grabbing the remote and pressing pause.
"Nope." The music of the previews filled the air as Lorelai reached over and pressed play.
Click, the music stops.
"Not fair," Lorelai whines.
"No, what's not fair is you not telling me what you and Tristan talked about."
"Who said we talked?"
"Not, funny what'd you say?"
"You'll see," she said grabbing the remote and pressing play once again.
"Well, two can play at this game. I'm going to Luke's," she yelled running off.

*~Rory~*
"Cliiing," the bell on the door of Luke's jingled.
"Luuuuke, cofffffffeeeeeeee!"Rory pleaded.
"Hi, Luke, how was your day today?, "he mimicked,"fine Rory, thank you for asking"
"Hi, Luke, how was your day, today," she responded smiling widely," now that that's settled Coffee! NOW!"
"There's no way I'm going to feed your need."
"Luuuuuuukeeeeeey! Please," she pouted.
"Nope."
"Not even for some un-ms.pattyized gossip?"
Luke looked at her quizzically, then giving in poured her a cup of coffee ,"Did Jess call?"he questioned.
"No, not since he called me and told me he was in California," she answered, saddened.
"What may I ask did you come to talk about then?" Luke implored.
" My mom..."
"Rory, I am not a bartender. I know your mom has problems so you need not come here to tell me them."
"Perhaps I should be a little less discreet, i'm here to talk about YOU and my mom."
Luke swallowed.
"Now Rory..."

Two hours later, Rory returned home to see her mother well endowed with tissues, crying at the tv," No Danny, you can't die your a father!"
"Mom, Rafe and her were meant to be together, there's no use cryin and it won't change the movie."
"Spoil sport," she wept and went back to her screaming.
Rory smiled. There was never a dull moment with her mother.
