Chilton Dance Chapter One

Author's Note: This takes place at the beggining of season two and is slightly AU because Rory broke up with Dean, who still likes her.
Also, I do not own any part of Gilmore Girls so please do not sew!!!!

Chapter One

"So are we just going to stare at the door all night?" Rory Gilmore asked her mom, Lorelei as they stared at the door of her grandparents' house. AKA the door to Hell.
"Sounds good to me," Lorelei shrugged.
"Mom..."
"C'mon," Lorelei pleaded, "just let me finish my coffee."
"You finished your coffee in the car."
"I did not," Lorelei scoffed, "are you accusing your mother of lying?"
"Yes, I believe I am."
"After everything that I've done for you?"
"C'mon, it won't be that bad," Rory tried to reason with her mom.
"Yes, I think it will."
"They said that they have a surprise for us," Rory said, trying to convince her mom to enter the house.
"And you think that that's a good thing?" Lorelei asked her daughter incredulously.
"Maybe," Rory tried, looking unsure.
Lorelei coughed. "I think I'm sick," she tried to convince her daughter.
"Mom," Rory sighed as she pulled her best friend/mom into the house.
"Girls, it's about time," Emily Gilmore sighed.
"There was traffic."
"Well, go on, are guests are waiting."
"Guests?" Rory questioned as she followed her grandmother, only to see none other than Tristan Dugrey and two people she could only assume to be his mom and dad having drinks with her grandfather.
"Rory," her grandmother started, "this is Tristan Dugrey."
"We've met," Rory said, her voice coated with ice.
"Bible Boy?" her mom whispered in her ear.
Rory nodded.
"Rory, sit next to Tristan," Emily ordered.
"But how will Rory and I secretly mock you if she's sitting all the way over there?" Lorelei asked innocently.
"Lorelei," Richard Gilmore said in a shocked tone, "we have guests."
Rory sat next to Tristan grudgingly.
"Hey Mary," he whispered to her.
Rory ignored him as she pretended to listen to whatever her grandmother was talking about.
"They like me," he informed her.
She didn't respond.
"I'm sure they wouldn't say anything if I took you upstairs right now and-" he said suggestively before Rory slammed her heel into his foot.
"So there's a dance at Chilton next week?" Emily asked.
Rory nodded as she tried to ignore Tristan.
"Tristan do you have a date?" Emily asked conversationally.
"No, ma'am," Tristan answered, smiling triumphantly at Rory, seeing where this was going.
"You should take Rory," Emily decided happily as if she had not planned this all out.
"Mom, I think that Rory can find a date for herself," Lorelei said, trying to help her daughter.
"I'm only suggesting..."
"Sorry," Rory interrupted, "I already have a date."
Emily wrinkled her nose as she said, " I thought you and that... Dean broke up."
"We did."
Tristan looked at her curiously.
"Then whose taking you?" he asked her, guessing that she was lying.
"Jess."
"Jess?" her mom exclaimed.
Rory sent her a look.
"Right," her mom agreed with a nod, "Jess."
"Whose his Jess?" Emily asked with disdain.
"An ex-convict," Lorelei said with all seriousness.
"Guests," Emily reminded her.
"My boyfriend," Rory lied.
Lorelei looked as though she was about to spit out her drink.
"Dinner's ready, Miss Gilmore," the maid informed her.
"Thank you, Elizabeth."

"I'm sure Jess would understand if you canceled," Tristan whispered to Rory when they were sitting at the dinner table.
Rory ignored him.
He put his hand on her leg.
Rory tried to shove it off but he just got a firmer grip on it.
"Get your hands off of me," Rory told him through gritted teeth.
"C'mon, Mare, you know that you like it," he teased her as he began to massage her leg.
"Go to the dance with me."
"I am going with Jess," she said for the fifteenth time, wondering how she was going to get him to agree to this.
