I don't own anything Gilmore Girls belongs to The CW Network. Rated T but a chapter will have some mature thems. I'll tell you it does.
Standing outside of the school, she was watching two students trying to put up the college fair banner above the door. Her hand flew up to her mouth when the one guy fell off the ladder and pulling the banner and the other guy with him. Both of the guys stood up, brushed the dirt off their pants, and climbed the ladders again. She was so excited for the college fair she wanted to get everything that Harvard had to offer her, and some Yale stuff just to make her grandparents happy. The banner was up and safe for her to walk into the school, mostly safe Paris was standing at her locker looking pissed off.
"What can I do for you this morning Paris?" She had moved Paris off the locker and started to turn the lock.
"First, is your article done about the college fair?" She reached into her bag and pulled out the paper handing it to Paris. "Did you finish your part of our report?" Once again, she handed Paris the paper from her bag.
"Anything else?"
"Not that I can think of," Paris turned around and huffed her way over to her friends. She turned around and someone ran right into her knocking her books everywhere.
"Thanks," She bent down to pick up her books when she saw someone standing over her, he wasn't wearing the typical Chilton clothing.
"You know I have had dreams about this, but we were both wearing far less clothing, me wearing nothing and you in something red and see through,"
"I beat it was a wet dream," She never looked up to see who had just said that.
"I will have you know that hasn't happened to me since I left. Mary," Mary only one person had ever called her that, but it couldn't be him. She looked up from his sandals, his baggy faded jeans, his Fox shirt, up to his lips and stopped at his eyes. Standing in front of her, it was him the boy who left over two years ago. He smiled down at her holding a cup in his hand. "You are the first to recognize me, must've done something right," He was looking threw one of her notebooks. "Doesn't this bring back memories? You, me, one of your books good times, good times, you remember them right Rory. Trying to walk threw doors at the same time, sitting outside talking about the kiss that made you cry, talking me into dating Paris. Let us not forget my favorite moment you kissing bean after telling him how much you love him, and how much you hated me," He wiped underneath his eye. "I'm getting teary eyed just thanking about you and bean,"
"What are you doing here Tristan?"
"God I love it when you say my name like that. It makes my body all tingly inside." He gave her a smile and raised his eyebrows at her, as she grabbed her book out of his hand. "Now Rory that was not very nice of you to do that," The bell rang and he just turned around and walked away from her. "Have fun in class Mary," She turned around and walked down the hallway. She could still hear his sandals on the floor as she turned the corner.
Sitting in class, everyone was talking about Tristan and the rumors were going wild on where has been who was with, and why is he back here. One had seen him except Rory and she wasn't going to tell anyone. The rumor started when a couple of freshmen said they saw a blonde hair guy walking around school getting into Tristan's old locker and hitting on some of the girls. Yep even the dumb people who had gone to school with Tristan knew it was Tristan.
She was walking down the hallway when someone pulled her inside a classroom. She was about to yell when she felt a body pressed on her back and a hand covering her mouth.
"Shh it's just me Mary," She turned around and hit his chest. "Fuck what was that for?"
"You know what that was for," She took a deep breath and looked at him. "You never answered my question, what are you doing here?"
"Well if you must know I wanted to visit some friends, and enemies," She just looked at him with her confused look. "Will you stop that already?"
"Stop what?"
"That look on your face the one that says 'I'm Rory Gilmore smartest person in all of Chilton, but I can also be the stupidest person in the world' look," She kept the same look on her face and turned her head sideways. "Now it's the 'what you talking about Willis' look,"
"How did you know my looks?"
"Hello someone caught looking at your ear in class," He pointed to himself and she laughed some. "I just wanted this meeting to go better then our last one did, but you need to get to lunch," He looked out the door and put on sunglasses and was about to leave when he felt her hand on his arm.
"I want to see you later today," She covered her mouth as he smiled at her.
"I will grant you this one wish. I will drive you home from school," He walked out of the room and she closed her eyes.
"I just ask Tristan out. What the hell was I thinking?"
School was out and she walked to the bus stop like every other day almost forgetting about Tristan picking her up. A black car pulled up with the top down. The driver had on a hat and sunglasses and he opened the door.
"I'm not suppose to ride with strangers,"
"Not even if the stranger has candy?" He held up a Hershey bar and she tapped her chin.
"Sorry not enough." He held up a cup and she smiled now. "If that is coffee then you have yourself a passenger,"
"Then get in,"
She got into the car and took the coffee and candy bar from him. "Nice car,"
"Aston Martin DB AR1 only ninety one made." He looked over at her and the wind was blowing her hair, her right hand out the window and the left one was shielding her eyes from the sun. "Sunglasses are in the glove box," She reached inside and pulled out a pair of Oakley sunglasses they were a grey color with blue lens.
"These are nice,"
"Good they're yours a welcome home gift from me,"
"You were the one who was gone not me,"
"Details,"
"So how is Military school?"
"I have to say I like it," He looked over and she was pulling on her skit. "What are you nervous?"
"No why would I be?"
"You just seem like you are to me," He looked over and saw her looking at him. "How is my good old friend Dean doing?"
"Just fine,"
"Still dating?"
"Yep," It was quiet again and he looked over at her as they stopped.
"Why did you want to see me for?" She turned her head and looked at the car beside them.
"How much did this car cost?" He knew no answer was going to come from her and he leaned his head back.
"Around three hundred grand," She looked over at him, he smiled as the traffic started to move.
After his question, the ride was quieter then before neither one saying anything to the other. He pulled up to her house and she looked over at him since she had never told him where she lived.
"Small town," She was about to take off the sunglasses and he raised his hand. "Keep them something to remember me by," She nodded and looked at him.
"I'll see you this weekend at the college fair?"
"Nope tonight when you are dreaming about me," She looked at him one last time before getting out of his car.
The weekend was here and for most kids it means going out and getting so drunk that you can't remember where you parked your car at, but for the kids at Chilton and every other school in Connecticut this weekend means the college fair was here and must attend for all students at Chilton. The students aren't the only ones who had the school asked for the parents to attend also. Rory was up and dressed before six she decided to go with a dark blue dress. Lorelai was still in bed at seven and they had to leave at eight.
"Mom we are going to be late," Rory said opening the door to Lorelai's bedroom. Lorelai rolled over pulling the blankets over her head. "Get up and showered and dressed now,"
"Don't want to," She sounded like a little kid.
"I said now move it young lady," She pulled the covers off her mother
"Fine I'm up you can leave now," She sat up and Rory grabbed her arms pulling her out of bed.
"We are leaving in half an hour even if you aren't dressed, or our of the shower you will go as is,"
"So how many cute lonely fathers are going to be at this thing?"
"Eww go take a cold shower," She pushed her towards the bathroom and closed the door.
Seven twenty and a knock on the door Rory opened and saw her boyfriend Dean holding coffee and a brown bag.
"Breakfast," She grabbed both and walked inside the house. Lorelai ran downstairs and grabbed a coffee and her purse.
"Let's get the show on the road," Rory grabbed her empty bag and the sunglasses that Tristan gave her earlier in the week and was right behind her mom. "Were did you get those glasses?" Lorelai asked putting her own sunglasses on.
"A person at school gave them to me,"
"They must really like you those cost over a three hundred bucks," Dean looked at Rory as he got into the backseat of the Jeep, he did want to say anything after the whole Jess fiasco.
Finding a place to park at Chilton was almost imposable for them, but after Lorelai cut off a few people who in returned flipped her off they were walking up to the building. Dean had his arm over her shoulders as they walked just behind Lorelai, Rory stopped walking when she saw Tristan leaning up against the building coffee in his hand.
"You alright?" Dean leaned down and whispered into her ear.
"Yea just thinking about who I was going to talk to first Yale or Harvard," They were almost beside Tristan when Dean kissed her. They heard something falling into the trash can and both looked over at Tristan.
"Some things that you never want to see this early in the morning. I feel like I'm about to puke," He put his hands on the side of the trashcan; Dean now knew who he was.
"You have a problem?"
"Yea I feel my b and e about ready to come back up," He pounded on his stomach. "Well at least you can tell me what to pick up at the store to help me out. You may even be able to get me a coupon for it, since you do have inside connections and all," Dean was about to walk over to Tristan when Lorelai stepped in front of him.
"What's wrong poor rich boy don't want to be here? Just wants to live off his parent's money?" Tristan pushed the sunglasses down from his eyes and looked at her.
"To easy," He pushed the glasses back up and walked inside the school. Rory pulled away from Dean and ran inside after Tristan. She grabbed his arm, spinning him around.
"What the hell is your problem?" He pulled his arm away from her.
"I have no problem Mary, go back to your wonderful boyfriend and your great little life," He walked away from her as Dean and Lorelai walked over to her.
"You alright Rory?" Dean asked taking her hand into his.
"Yea everything is fine,"
He was by the refreshment table when he saw Lorelai walking over to him. The look on her face was probably what they were talking about if looks could kill.
"What the hell was that this morning?"
"Which part me waking up, showering, eating, drinking coffee. See I done a lot of stuff this morning so you're going to have to trim it down for me,"
"It's no wonder my daughter hates you."
"Yea she really hates me. I remember that time at Madeline's party when we shared our first kiss she must've hated me so much,"
"She did run away crying,"
"Yea she did, but I think you had a lot to do with that. She told me the next day about wallowing and how she didn't do it. See my thinking is that a little birdie told her she had to wallow,"
"You have an answer for everything don't you?" He tilted his head some and closed one eye.
"Yea I do," He saw Dean and Rory walking over to them.
"Mom they are giving us an hour for lunch,"
"Where do you want to go?" Lorelai asked still looking at Tristan.
"I know of this little Chinese place not to far away from here," He pointed and the three of them looked at him.
"I wasn't talking to you,"
"Well then maybe you shouldn't be looking at me when you are talking." He pulled his keys out and looked at Rory. "Come on I'll drive and even pay for your lunches. A way of saying I'm sorry for getting off to a bad start," Rory looked up at her mom and knew free food would break her.
"Fine but no talking to us," He raised his hands and just nodded. Lorelai was walking ahead of them, Dean was to her left and Tristan was to her right. She looked up and saw Dean was looking down at her smiling. Looking to her right she saw Tristan was looking at her mom's ass. She elbowed him in the side and he looked down at her. Dean kept walking as she grabbed Tristan's arm.
"Stop looking at my mom's ass,"
"Way it's a very nice ass," He looked up to see her getting into the Jeep.
"Come on Rory we only have an hour,"
"She is going to ride with me. Don't want me getting lonely on the drive," Before she could say anything he grabbed her bag off her hands and walked over to his car. She tired to grab the bag, but he locked it in the trunk of the car. This was going to be a long hour.
In the car, Tristan looked in the mirror and saw Dean reach his hand over and kept it one what he thought was her leg. He looked at the road and then back up and his hand was moving back and forth.
"How close is your boyfriend and mother?" She looked over at him.
"Why?"
"Just wondering," Looking back, he saw the same thing that he saw before Dean's arm moving.
I'm looking for a beta so if you are intrested get a hold of me. I wanted to do something different and trust me it's different. It has always seemed to me that Lorelai liked Dean a little more then Rory did. The story title is a song from Korn album is Take A Look In The Mirror.
