anyone?

[TristanLuvr4Life]

They talked and laughed for about 3 hours. Time flew by so fast. "I guess I'd better get to bed," Rory said, "You know where my room is if you need me."

"Are you suggesting something?" Tristan asked wiggling his eyebrows.

She ignored him and rolled her eyes.

"The bathroom is right down the hall" she said pointing.

"If you need anything just ask....goodnight tristan" she said about to shut the door

"Goodnight, Mary" he said smiling.

She smiled and shut the door.

~~*ThE nExT mOrNiNg*~~

Tristan woke up early and headed down to the kitchen. His cook at home and taught him how to cook very well, and he was going to cook breakfast for Lorelai and Rory. He looked around and all he saw was coffee beans and poptarts. He decided just to make coffee.

He began to make the coffee and heard a voice come from the living room........"Do I smell coffee?" he heard Lorelai scream. Tristan poured a cup as she walked into the kitchen and he handed it to her.

"Oh, I like you," she said grabbing the cup and gulping it down. "Ooooo.....yummy!"

He smiled and was about to say something when he heard a Rory coming out of her room. Tristan started staring at her. She looked so cute. Her hair was messy but she still looked adorable. Lorelai whispered to Tristan,"I think that you are starting to drool." He quickly looked away.

"What's all that racket?" Rory asked, "Can't a girl sleep around here?" she said groggily before looking up and seeing what Lorelai was holding. "Oooooo COFFEE!!!" she said trying to steal Lorelai's coffee.

"Hey! Get your own this is mine," Lorelai said pulling her coffee away from Rory.

"Meanie" Rory said sticking out her tongue. Tristan laughed at how much Rory and her mom were alike. Now he knew where Rory got her spunk from.

"Here, I got you your own," Tristan said handing Rory a cup.

"Ooooo Thank you!!! I like you now, you are forgiven for everything you've ever done." she said smiling and gulping down the coffee.

"If I knew all I needed was coffee, I would have gotten you some a long time ago," Tristan replied back before saying, "I tried to cook breakfast, but you have no food"

"Oh, we never have food. We just eat at Luke's" Rory explained.

"Who's Luke?" he asked worried about another guy in Rory's life.

"Oh just the flannel shirt, backwards cap wearing coffee supplier that is in love with my mother and she doesnt know it even though everyone else can tell." she explained.

"Luke is not in love with me"

"De-nile isnt just a river in Egypt"(i think i already used that) Rory said.

"Whatever" Lorelai replied.

"See," Rory said looking at Tristan who just smiled.

"Well after all that talk about Luke's, I'm getting hungry, Let's go"

"Umm I think I'll just stay here," Rory said.

Lorelai knew what Rory's problem was. "Could you excuse us for a second?" she asked Tristan.

"Oh yeah sure," Tristan said as he walked into the living room.

"Rory, I know you don't want to go because of Jess," Lorelai said.

"Mom, I'm not ready to see him"

"You have to see him sooner or later and you said yesterday that you would deal with your problems tomorrow and tomorrow is today"

"I know mom, but I loved him and he just left me. I can't just get over that," she said. She was on the verge of tears but she WOULD NOT cry.

"I know honey. But this is Luke's. We need Luke's. and you have to talk to him sooner or later and I'm hoping sooner cuz I really need coffee."

"Ok mom, just let me take a shower and get dressed and we can go,"

"alright honey"

Rory took a quick shower and changed her clothes and went to get Tristan. She accidentally opened the door adn his back was to her as he was changing his shirt. Rory froze and just stood there and stared. Tristan turned around and caught her staring. "Like what you see, Mary?" he asked. She looked to the ground.

"I was just coming to tell you that we were ready to leave." she said still looking at the ground.

"Rory, I was just kidding. You can look up. I'm not going to bite."

"I dont think thats the best idea," she said honestly and amazed that she said it.

Tristan smiled knowing that he made her nervous.

"OK I have my shirt on, lets go" he said grabbing her hand and pulling her down the stairs. They grabbed Lorelai and ran out the door.

They walked into Lukes

"Lukey..........." Lorelai whined

"No" he replied

"I didnt ask anything yet"

"I dont care the answers no!"

"Coffee please"

"No"

"Do you want another counter dance?" she said about to hop on the counter.

"Fine, here," he said pouring her, Rory and Tristan some coffee.

Rory and Tristan smiled at each other because of Luke and Lorelai. It was so obvious that they liked each other.

Just then, Jess came bounding down the stairs. He tried to hold in his surprise as he saw Tristan there, obviously indicating that he had stayed over last night. He walked over to Rory.

"Rory could I talk to you?" he asked.

"Yeah sure," she said as he led her outside.

~~*NiCoLe*~~

[SouthernBelle]

Rory whimpered, she wasn't ready for another ordeal. She walked defeated outside of Luke's Diner to see what Jess had to say.
"Rory, would you go out with me tonight? I want to make some things right, this doesn't have to be a date."
"Um, sure, Jess. Where to?" inwardly groaning wondering what scheme was up.
"Around-but dress nice."
"Formal?"
"Nice."
Formal.
"Okay, pick me up at about 7?" Jess nodded and Rory reentered Luke's.
Seeing Rory's dejected look Tristan immediately sought out to make her happy. Grabbing her coffee mug as she threw herself down at the table her mother was sitting at Tristan rushed over.
"My name is Tristan and I will be your server today," He said respectly, but couldn't resist letting out a wide grin.
Laughing Rory ordered, wondering if he was really going to serve her.
"Would you like fries with that mam?"
"Yes, please,"Rory grinned as Tristan took down Lorelai's meal and walked off to Luke.


(IN THE KITCHEN)
"Hey Luke, can I get two cheeseburgers one with fries and one with extra coffee?
"Lemme guess Rory AND Lorelai have involved YOU too in their sinister p extract coffee from me."
"Well that and Rory is kinda down in the dumps so I have inaudibly made myself her servant for like the next hour or so. She just doesn't know it."
"What's wrong?"
"I'm not sure but I think she went outside and had a talk with you ...nephew?"
"Jess, if he hurts her..."
Tristan agreed in his mind. He liked Luke. The whole macho exterior wasn't enough to hide what a great person he was to Rory and Lorelai. He really loved them. Plus, Tristan could relate to loving a Gilmore, it wasn't exactly easy.
"Here are the orders," Luke broke into his thoughts with an inkling of a smile. He knew Tristan was thinking about Rory. Luke didn't feel guilty as Tristan walked out of the kitchen and Luke thought, They're perfect for one another.

[TristanLuvr4Life]

"Here's you wonderful food, m'lady" Tristan said settin down the food and coffee and pullin up a chair for himself. Rory was just about to start eating when Dean walked in. He saw Tristan and his eyes flashed with anger.

'The only way he could be here this early was if he stayed over there last night. I'm gunna' Dean's thoughts were cut off by Lorelai.

"Dean, do you need something?"

"Yeah, Rory I was wondering if I could talk to you.......outside," he said looking pointedly at Tristan.

Tristan just ignored it and sat there waiting for Rory to answer.

"Yeah, Let's go because I'm hungry and my foods getting cold," she said standing up.

She looked at Lorelai and yelled as she walked out the door, "and mom, don't steal my coffee. Tristan, don't let her steal my coffee."

"Rory, I was just wondering if we could go out tonight, just you and me, you know," Dean said hopefully.

"Well, I already have a date with Jess tonight," Rory told him.

"At what time?"

"He's picking me up at seven."

"How about after that? Can I pick you up at 9:30??" Dean asked.

"I don't know Dean. I don't know how long it will take or if I'll even feel like going out after that."

"Ok then fine, how about in a few hours. I'll take you out at 3 and have you back by 7 so that you can go out with jess. Please Rory? Give me one more chance," Dean said almost begging.

"Fine, pick me up at 3?" she asked.

"Yes"

"Ok I'll see you then," Rory said heading into the diner.

"Ok, bye Rory" Dean said.........."I love you," he whispered off into the distance.

~~*NiCoLe*~~

[SouthernBelle]

"Why so glum?" Tristan asked trying not to sound to nosy.
"Just another hot date today."
"Another?"
"Yea, Jess is picking me up at 7 and Dean before him at 3."
"Joy"
"I know."
"I won't add to your worries, though I'd like to spend time with you."
"How about today?,"Rory surprised Tristan.
"Uh, yea. Let's go do something."
"Sky diving, anyone?"Lorelai jumped into the conversation.
"Mom, I really love you, but no. I think Tristan and I will go do something a bit less ...dangerous."
"Oooooooooo, Tristan and I! I rather like the sound of that," she replied letting Rory know where her favor was.
"Whatever you say, Mom." Rory ushered Tristan out the door,"I'll be back by 3!"
"Sure, leave me with the scary plad man!"Lorelai yealled back.
"I heard that!," Luke retorted form somewhere in the kitchen.

[TristanLuvr4Life]

Dean was heading off to Doose's for work today excited about spending time with Rory later on. He turned and noticed Rory and Tristan walking out of the diner laughing together. Anger rushed through him. He gently calmed himself.
'Rory would never like Tristan, right?' he thought to himself. 'I mean she hated him in highschool. Not much could have changed,' he continued thinking.

~~~~~Back to Tristan and Rory~~~~~
"So what do you want to do today?" Rory asked Tristan.

"Doesn't matter, although I would like to know what happened between you and bag.....dean,"

"Ok, I'll tell you later. Right now we have to pick a destination," she said.

~~*NiCoLe*~~

[SouthernBelle]

"Water"
"Check"
"Sandwiches"
"Check"
"Apples"
"Check"
"Brownies"
"Hmmm, check"
"Well then let's go!,"Rory grabbed Tristan's hand as he held on to the basket for dear life.
Unlocking his silver BMW, Tristan laughed. "How on earth did you get me to go on a picnic with you Lorelai Leigh Gilmore?"
"Well, it was either a. my charm and wit. b. my beauty and poise or c. you just can't resist me," she giggled as Tristan thought d. all of the above.
"Rory I'm not sure you can get into my car with your head being as big as it is at the moment."
"Uh," Rory groaned as she playfully slapped him."We'll see who can't get in the car." She yelled mysteriously as she ran to the car, hopped inside and began to lock the doors over and over again every time Tristan unlocked them.
"Hey,"Smirked Tristan,"Lemme in"
"Under one condition...I get to drive."
Tristan stood scared and grudgingly handed the keys over through the inch Rory produced in the window.

[TristanLuvr4Life]

"Now unlock the door Rory" Tristan said

"No" she said sticking out her tongue as she bent over and was about to open the door when Tristan said......
"You know, there are much better things I can think of to do with that tongue" Tristan said smirking

"ewwwww you sick man you, just for that, im not letting you in" she said smirking back.

"What do you mean, I was talking about eating a lollipop," he said pulling a lollipop out of his pocket(haha not that he'd have one in there but I thought it was funny)

Rory reached through the window to try and grab it. Tristan grabbed her hand to stop her.

"Only if you let me in" he said

"Fine" she responded. He let go of her hand reluctantly. She unlocked the doors and he got into the passenger seat.

(I left their date open for you Hannah cuz I'm sure that you would love to write about it Happy early bday present hehe)

~~*NiCoLe*~~

[SouthernBelle]

"WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!" Rory yelled windows rolled down as she sped down the highway.
Tristan sat gripping the arm rest in suspense. Terrified, he pleaded, " Rory, you know they have a speed limit, right?"
Rory cackled evily. "I have the need, the need to speed!" causing Tristan to tighten his seat belt. "I wonder if the whole of Chilton knows what a nig fat scaredy cat you are?"
Tristan grinned," And i wonder if they know what an amazing, crazy, confident, and not shy person you are?" He smirked attractively. And did i mention beautiful? he thought.
Rory grinned sheepishly as she pulled into a secluded park that was set on an attractive and scenic lake.
"Out," she said simply.
Obeying Tristan grabbed the food and made his way out of the car. Rory walked ahead looking back happily every so often.
"Here," she stopped, waiting for Tristan to catch up with the blanket. For some reason she felt shy all of the sudden. She stayed looking at the ground as Tristan walked up. He gently laid down the blanket and grabbed her and tugged her down. Also experiecing Rory's shyness he decided he'd better say something.
"Uh, sandwich," he stuttered.
Rory giggled and the ice was broken. They ate and laughed and chatted like old friends. Tristan to Rory was a mystery. She knew he had a deepness no one else had ever noticed. He had secrets and walls, that no one could break or see through until Rory came along. She was willing to get to know the real Tristan, that was what she wanted. She still wasnt sure of her feelings for him, but she wanted to have to chance to figure them out. It was nearing the time to go home and Rory groaned at the thought having to leave. Something inside her chest was beating rapidly... her heart. They drove home silently. Rory let Tristan drivw so she could think. She leaned her head against the head rest and closed her eyes. She must have dosed off because when she opned her eyes they were parked in the drive way of her house. Dazed by her sleep she leaned in and kissed Tristan.

[TristanLuvr4Life]

She pulled away quickly.

'What am I doing?' she thought. 'It felt good but I'm just so confused. This can't be happening to me.'

Her eyes got big and she sat there staring at Tristan while she thought silently to herself.

Tristan's heart was breaking inside knowing that she pulled away quickly. To him, it felt so great. 'I wish I knew what she was thinking' he thought to himself.

"Umm Rory are you ok?" he asked quietly.

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm fine. I have to go" she said hopping out of the car.

"Rory, wait" he said

She turned around and looked at him expectantly.

"I don't want you to ignore it like last time." he said begging for it to be different than their last kiss.

"I'm not, I just, I need time to think." she said.

"Ok"

"I'll call you tonight after my dates with Dean and Jess, ok?"

"Ok" he said smiling.

"And remember Tristan, this kiss wasn't at all like the first one"

"How's that?" he asked.

"Because I didn't run out crying," she said then smiled. "I ran out smiling" and she ran off into the house. ;D

~~*NiCoLe*~~

[SouthernBelle]

Rory hummed happily. She thought that was a pretty good line to leave him with. Leavin him wondering. She grinned. Then the phone rang.
"Hello,"Rory answered cheerfully.
"hey Rory," Dean's voice answered in the phone and Rory's mood sank tremendously.
"Ready," he questioned.
"Yep," Rory replied shortly.
"I'll be right there." He said hanging up.
Rory counted down the moments sadly as she waited for him to pull up.
When she finally heard the crunching of the tires, she made her way to the door, waving goodbye nonenthusiastically to her mom.
"Bye Mom, Hi dean, " she said opening the door. Plastering a fake smile on her face, she stepped out as Dean put her arm around her. He opened the door and went to his side of the car. Buckling in Rory sat down and waited apprehensively.
"Tally ho, to the book store!" he grinned.
Rory felt her mood brighten a bit but she couldnt help but wish it were Tristan and not Dean who was taking her.

[TristanLuvr4Life]

Dean and Rory headed off to the bookstore. Dean had a lot of money that his parents had given him to help support lindsay and the wedding. But since he wasn't getting married, he figured he would spend it on the person he loved the most, Rory. Dean pulled up to the bookstore, got out, and went to open the door for Rory. Rory's eyes lit up as soon as they entered the bookstore.

"Buy whatever you'd like" he said

"Really?"

"Yes really. Anything you want, its yours"

She jumped up and down and without realizing it, kissed him on the cheek due to the overwhelming aroma of books all around her.

She ran off skipping to find some books.

[JessMiloLuver14]

"Dean thanks for this, but i cant" said rory

"why?" said dean

"i dont think i'm in love with you the way i am with tristan and jess" rory replied

"o ok does that mean i'm out now its between Jess and tristan"

"right now this is so confusing you, jess, tristan, i dont know but you broke up with me in front of everybody the whole town. you made it clear about your feelings. even when me and jess where going out you were trying to get me back please just go" rory said

"huh why? what?" dean said

"just go Dean" "Please" said rory

(this is for dodgers/lits and trorys)

[TristanLuvr4Life]

Dean looked sad and started to walk away. He turned back and looked at Rory once more. She saw the look on his face and couldn't help but feel bad. She couldn't be this mean to the guy that cares about her so much. She ran up to him.

"Wait Dean. Don't go. I'm sorry. I'm just confused about everything. I don't want you to leave. I didn't mean to be like that I'm just confused right now. I mean everyone came back at the same time." she explained pleadingly "I'm sorry" she said.

He smiled. "It's ok Rory, I understand. So go in there and get your books"

She kissed him on the cheek and skipped off. She found her books and then found Dean. He paid for her books and they left.

"Where to now?" she asked.

"The Stars Hollow Carnival" he said smiling!

[SouthernBelle]

Rory stared awkwardly at the ground. Dean was making her more uncomfortable by the minute. At the moment they were walking with his arm around her and she couldn't seem to find a way to accidentally slide out of hsi grip. She thought of tripping but that might be too obvious. They approached the carnival and Rory began to get excited again. Ever since she was little she'd love festivcals and fairs. She remebered her dad taking her to one when she was 7 and had had one of the best times in her life. Her eyes were sparkling and literally shone when she saw...him.

[TristanLuvr4Life]

There was Tristan standing there playing the basketball game. He looked adorable. Of course, with his excellent athletic abilities, he swished every shot. Dean saw what Rory was staring at and felt slightly sad but didn't let it show. "Want some cotton candy?" he asked. "Sure" she said jumping up and down. "I love cotton candy."

"I know," Dean replied. "I know mostly everything about you."
