RATING -pg CONTENT -swearing PAIRING OR CHARACTER - Rory and Tristen DISCLAIMER - I don't own anything, it is all the WB's idea Blah Blah Blah Beauty And Jealousy By: joyish26@aol.com and cindy_rella2@yahoo.com PART 1 By: Joy joyish26@aol.com It was Monday morning and Rory really did want to go to school. She just wanted to wallow. But she had a math test that she couldn't miss. She drove her self that morning, but when she got there it wasn't the same. There were girls EVERYWHERE! Not just the Chilton girls older ones like 22 years old. An unfamiliar young woman approached her. "Hello, I'm Grace. I'm with The American Modeling Agency. Here is our brochure." "Hi I'm Rory, I don't mean to be rude but why are you and the agency here at Chilton?" an obviously confused Rory asked. Rory looked around. The school seemed to be in a state of disarray. "Oh, I'm sorry we are here because the girls are going to pose because we need new, young faces. And let me tell you that you have a very rare natural beauty. You are exactly what we are looking for," Grace said complimenting Rory. "Oh thank you but I want to go to Harvard and modeling is not something to put on a college application." She said with a smile as not to offend Grace. "Oh no, actually I go to Harvard! And when I went to the dean She said that one of the things that got me in was that I had super grades and that I had been in The American Modeling Agency. That I had such a wide range of things. Harvard wants more then grades. I know a girl who was top of her class but had no other extra curricular activities and didn't get in! You should really thing about this!" Grace said this and left to talk to other girls. "Wow, That would almost be cool!" She said to herself and then went to class. After her math test she went to lunch. An older guy came over to Rory and sat down. He was also with the American Modeling Agency. "Hello My name is Anthony. Grace told me to she wants you to join. Are you?" "I really don't think so.... why?" she replied. "Because there are not many girl here who could pull of a modeling job. Some are very nice looking but their teachers don't think they can handle it with there school work,” Anthony started his persuasion. “Your name came up as well as a Miss Paris Geller. We looked at her and she doesn't have the look we need. You on the other hand do. You dean knows how important this is and said he would do anything he can to make this easy on you." "Why would he do that he is very much 'follow the rules' " Rory questioned. “Because his Sister owns the agency," He said with a laugh. "Oh, I will think about it. I have to ask the dean and get some more info and of course ask my mother. Thank you though. I will get back to you by weds." At this he left. What Rory didn't know was the Tristen was watching them the whole time thinking that Anthony was a boy who liked her. Also that Tristen was the one boy picked to work with the one girl who was picked. Rory went and talked to the dean and he was a little TOO willing to let her take home some tests and miss a few classes without consequent. And when she asked Lorelai about it all she could say it that "My daughter is the next Molly Sims! AHHHHH!" and she chanted this all night. In other words she wanted her to do it. Rory thought about it and decided to do it. It would help her get her mind off of Dean. She went to school and looked for Grace or Anthony. Rory approached the guy she met at lunch the day before. "Hey Anthony right?" "Yeah," he answered. "I want to join." "That is GREAT! Thank you so much! Can we meet us at the Chilton Library a 4:00 to day?" "Yeah sure," she agreed. 4:00 came very soon. She did know exactly what she would have to do but she didn't care it would make her life better. She walked into the library and saw Tristen. Still feeling a bit weird about what had happened to them at the party and with Paris and him. "Oh hi Tristen," he looked up not knowing that Rory would be the other girl. He knew not to say it to her yet because she would leave right away. "Oh Hi! I just.... Hi" " Hello to our two new models!" Anthony said. "Two?" Rory asked "Oh yeah, didn’t you know? You two will be working together for 2 years!" he delivered the ‘good’ news. "WHAT!" she exclaimed. It was a long 3 hours of pictures and questions and forms. 2 month past and Rory and Tristen became friends. And they were getting issued in the YM mag for a Tommy ad. ~This is the shoot for the ad~ "Ok Tristen and Rory need you now!" the photographer, Patrick, yelled. "OK on our way!" The make-up artiest yelled back. "I can't believe it has been 2 months and we actually like each other! But I wanted to ask you something...will you," Tristen started. "OK Now!" and they were rushed off to take their pictures. "Okay, next what I want is the girl in his lap on the blue screen." "OK, what did you want to ask me Tristen?" Rory asked, getting into her position. "No! No talking just listen to me!" Patrick shouted. "OK," They took about 50 PICS. Patrick broke the BIG news, "OK now the big pictures. I want you two to kiss." "Huh!?!?" Rory asked. "JUST DO IT NOW!!!" "Fine!" she bellowed. They did. But just before there lips meet Tristen said, "Go out with me. I love you." Rory pulled away at first and then went in nothing left back. The picture was perfect. And it went in the YM mag. Tristen and Rory dated for the next 3 months. And they were very much in love. One day at school some girl was reading the new YM mag and Dean saw Rory. "Let me see this!" and he garbed it from her hands" That's RORY! And TRISTEN!" He ran out the classroom door looking for Lane. "What is this!" He yelled, finding her by her locker. "God, not like it is any of your business! But yes Rory is a model now! And so is Tristen," she explained. "Why are they kissing?!?!" "Because they had to!" Dean was relieved and Lane started to walk away. "Oh yeah!" She yelled back, "And they are dating and in love!" And she continued down the hall, back to class. Dean was crushed. "Why am I feeling this? I know because I still love her," he said to himself. At Chilton "Hey Paris I need you notes from Chem.!" Rory said. "Why would I help you?" Paris snottily replied back. "God I thought you had gotten over this by now! It has been 3 months!" the young model exclaimed. "Rory, you stole the only man I have ever loved!" Paris said still very much heartbroken. "PARIS! You are 17! He is not the only man you will ever love. Get over it!" and she left. ‘Was I too harsh or is it jealousy?” Rory questioned her reasoning for acting the way she did. "Hey baby!" Tristen said and wrapped his arms around her. Every time her did this he felt how perfectly they fit together. "Oh hi." "I got us tickets to go to the Nelly concert!" he exclaimed. "AHH oh my God! I can believe it!" she stood stretching her height an inch or two and kissed him. "I know it is tonight, can you go, sorry but I just found out today," Tristen apologized. "No, no, no problem." Rory and Tristen go to the concert. But what they didn't know is that Dean’s friends got tickets too and he is going. They were in the parking lot and Dean and his friends were all ready there. They saw this Audi TT roadster pull up. "God, looks like another one of those rich son of a biches~!" Dean said feeling great hate for them since he found out aboutTristen and Rory. He watched the car. And saw Rory and Tristen get out. The two of then have been in many ads and even in a movie, a very small part. But some girls noticed Tristen (duh~he is too hot not to! =) -joy) and Rory got the same reaction from the boys. Dean noticed them too. "Hey man isn't that your old girl?" Andrew, Dean’s friend said. "Yeah" "Yo, man she's a model?' "Yeah" Dean repeated. Andrew asked, "Who is that?" "Tristen Du Gray. He’s her NEW boy friend." He said without taking his eyes off of them. ~*~Every on else had to wait but Tristen and Rory got in right away~*~ Dean looked up and saw the row number they were in. Time passed and every one else was left into the concert. Dean went right away to Tristen and Rory’s row. Watching them and not the concert. It made him so mad! He saw them kiss and wanted to kill him. He finally went to the row behind them and Reached for Rory............. PART 2 By: Cindy cindy_rella2@yahoo.com And reached for Rory…………and hesitated. ‘Should I do this? Step back into her life after I pushed her out of mine?’ Dean put his hand on her shoulder. “Rory Gilmore.” That voice rang through her ears as she processed whose voice it was. “Oh no…Dean,” Rory mumbled. She had lost contact with him after that painful breakup months ago. Tristen turned around. He seemed annoyed by his presence. “Don’t you have some fields to plow?” Tristen asked eyeing Dean. “You can’t say you love me, have you told him that?” Dean questioned. “No,” Rory honestly answered. “I wait until she’s ready to tell me,” Tristen smirked, throwing his understanding ability in Dean’s face. “Only months ago he was just an annoying Chilton jerk, but now, NOW he’s your boyfriend?” Dean said showing excessive hurt in his eyes. Rory looked distressed and replied, “Dean that’s not how it was. How I felt just months ago was because I was ‘Judging A Book By It’s Cover’.” “I’m glad you learned a life long lesson out of this. Hope yoou two are happy together,” he delivered these last thoughts with such an icy tone. At this Dean turned and started out. Rory followed but Tristen stopped her. “Tristen,” Rory said. He looked at her with overwhelming uncertainty shimmering in his eyes. ‘Does she still love him?’ he questioned himself. He felt uneasy and it was like he was suffocating. “Does this change us?” he asked, his heart ready to shatter in a million pieces. “Tristen, I just need to make things right between me and Dean,” Rory said. She gave him a kiss and whispered, “I love you,” and walked away. Tristen just stood there smiling. ~Outside~ “Dean wait!” Rory yelled as he was walking to his friend’s car. “What do you want?” his response sounded so infuriated. “Don’t give me the attitude,” Rory said getting pissed off by his reaction. “Whoa. Am I hearing this right?” he asked. “Need I remind you who broke up with who. You are the one who left me that night,” she refreshed his memory. “Because YOU didn’t say ‘I love you’,” he replied enunciating you. “That is a big step Dean. Not to mention the Gilmore’s are not the best when it comes to commitment,” she tried to explain. “But instead of being understanding, like Tristen was, you blew up at me. That next night is where Tristen and I found comfort in our similar situations,” Rory continued. “So this is all my fault now?” Dean questioned seeking Rory’s opinion. “Not your fault, your doing. You helped me find love in the most unexpected places,” Rory honestly replied. He shot back, “Nice to know I contributed to your happiness.” “I didn’t act this way when Lane told me you kissed that blonde in homeroom a few months ago,” Rory defended herself. Dean tried to find an answer, “Well…but…so.” That was all Dean could manage to say. “Any time you’ve grown up enough to handle being friends, you know how to dial a phone,” Rory bleakly responded. Dean just stood there as she turned and walked back in to Tristen. After Rory was back inside, Dean rejoined his friends. ~Inside~ Tristen felt Rory’s presence closing in on him, but he didn’t turn around. She reached up and placed her hands over his eyes. “Guess who?” “Some cute brunette?” he guessed. “Or was it the cute blonde I was flirting with?” Tristen jokingly replied. “I think you better go with the first answer.” Rory uncovered Tristen’s eyes. He immediately brought his lips to hers. They passionately kissed for a few minutes. “I was thinking maybe, maybe you would like to take a drive somewhere?” Rory suggested looking into his eyes. “Just the two of us,” she bribed him with. “I could go for some alone time,” he agreed. Rory and Tristen walked out of the concert. Tristen was walking ahead of Rory, but held her hand leading her out to the car. They passed Dean but neither of them noticed him in the back row. They got into the parking lot. The adorable couple walked hand in hand over to the car. Tristen held open Rory’s door. “Thank you Mr. Dugrey,” she smiled. He just nodded his head. Tristen walked over to the driver’s side and got in. “Where to Miss Gilmore?” he asked as if her were a professional chauffer. Rory thought about it for a minute. “The beach,” she answered. “Ok.” Tristen turned on the car and “Hanging By A Moment” by Life House was playing. Tristen and Rory continied to hold hands and listened to the radio. They sat in silence the entire way there, just enjoying each other’s presence. Tristen pulled up to a fairly empty parking lot overseeing the boardwalk. The boardwalk was still open and the beach was fairly vacant. “The way the moonlight reflects onto the ocean is beautiful,” Rory said. “Yes, and romantic,” Tristen added. They walked up near the water. Tristen sat down in a strattled position. Rory took a seat in front of him. She slipped off their shoes so the warth of the water could surround their feet. Rory leaned back onto Tristen. “We’re models, friends and in love. My life seems perfect,” Rory said smiling. ‘I hope this doesn’t end. What goes up must come down, but does it always?’ she asked herself. “Rory Gilmore…” Tristen started. PART 3 "Rory Gilmore...........I lov....!!!!!" Tristan said but stopped. Rory wondered what had happened, she was ready to say 'I love you' to her and her just stopped. "Rory come on lets go," he said getting up, without even as much as an explanation. "Why? I don't want to it is so pretty here," she said not moving. Tristan picked her up on to her feet and hugged her. He whispered in her ear. "If you trust me just come with out any suspicion." And Tristen walked to the car. Rory was still confused but she did trust him and walked to the car, they got in and started it up. And then drove away to safety. "What the hell was that about?" Rory yelled. "Do you know who Sarah Debra is?" Tristan said looking at Rory with a look she had never seen before. His face was very serious and nervous even. 'Oh God, that is the girl he really loves that is who he is leaving me for' Rory thought to her self. "Uh---no--" she managed to choke out "Well, last summer I dated her. She loved me but I didn't feel it for her. It is nothing compared to you,” Tristan began his explanation. “Any way she was part of a big messed up family. She had like 9 half brothers and sisters, 5 step-siblings, and 1 real sister. Her parents had been remarried both 2 times over already, and I hear her Mom is on her next.” Tristan continued talking while Rory just listened. “Anyway we dated and I wasn't feeling it so I told her I couldn't see her any more.” Rory let out a sigh of relief at that statement and still he continued. “She didn't take it as well as I had hoped. She...well...to say the least went ballistic. And the fact that I didn't know was that her family was that big and that all most all of them had a different last name...I went on dating. It turns out I dated 2 of her 4 half sisters. They both lived with a different part so I guess they didn't talk much,” he said. “But Kristen invited me to a family party. She told me about how her family was messed up, but I thought 'Hell everyone’s is’. And so I went. I pulled up and saw a car that looked a lot like Sarah's and then one that looked like Stacy's car. I had a thought that 'maybe...NO! Nah it couldn’t be’. And I went in. Sure enough I ran into Kristen outside. She hugged me and walked me into the house. I almost died right there when I saw Stacy and Sarah sitting there. They got up and I just ran. Kristen didn't care I guess she was going to break up with me that day anyway and Stacy had a great new boyfriend. But Sarah, she was different,” he said going over the actions of the three girls. “She got in her car and came after me. She hit my car twice in the back. Igot away from her when she crashed in to a stop sign.” Rory let out a gasp of shock. “She was fine but I never talked to her again,” Tristan told her. “And, Rory, I saw her. She was at the beach looking at us. More at you then me, I was scared. I don't know if she still cares but I do know it was her." He said glancing at her and then looking at the road again. Rory could not believe what she had just heard. She was completely taken back by everything she just heard. "Oh my God. So there is some girl named Sarah who is stalking us!" she exclaimed. "I don't know. All I know is when I saw her there I had this weird feeling that we had to get out of there NOW! I love you to much to ever let anything happen to you." "I love you too!" She said. Tristan was so happy he looked at her and almost forgot he was driving. ~*~ 1 week later at Chilton. ~*~ Rory and Tristan walked into the classroom together. Tristan fell to the ground. Rory didn't know what had happened and then she looked up and her eyes fell upon a girl. The girl was unfamiliar to Rory. She had a cold look in her eyes. "Tristen! Chris, Mike help me get him to the nurse office!" Rory exclaimed. They did. Rory sat with him. "Well, that must had been some test for him to faint this boy has NEVER been here before. He normally carries girls and help get guys here!" The nurse said to Rory. "Yeah, I have never seen him even with a cold come to think about it." Rory said trying to be nice. "Well, I have to check on the new girls file. Excuse me," the nurse told Rory as she began to walk away. Rory quickly followed her. ‘The girl from class maybe?’ Rory thought. "New girl? What new girl?" The nurse simply replied, "Oh her name is a Miss Sarah Debra.” PART 4 “Did you say Sarah Debra?” Rory asked. ‘I must have heard her wrong,’ she tried to assure herself. “Yes. She transferred officially today.” Rory told her, “Oh…um…I’m going to go check on Tristan.” She walked away, over to where Tristan was lying. The nurse was over at her filing cabinet. “Tristan…I think I have some bad news,” Rory began. “What is it Rory? Tell me,” Tristan asked with concern. “Sarah Debra has transferred here to Chilton,” she responded. “SHE WHAT?!?!” Tristan exclaimed. “No she can’t!” Rory asked him, “Will she do anything that may…umm…endanger either of us?” Rory didn’t even want to think about what she was capable of. But she had to think about it. ‘Why is there a price to pay for falling in love with a good guy?’ she asked herself. “Rory I don’t know, but that feeling I had at the beach wasn’t normal,” Tristan explained. “But wherever you go I GO. Understand?” he asked. Rory just nodded her head and smiled. Tristan began to get up. “I think I’m ready for going back to class.” “C’mon let’s go,” she said. She had her arm around his waist, and Tristan had his arm at the base of her neck. “Tristan…” Rory began. “Yea?” “Does transferring to our school define stalker yet?” Rory kidded. Tristan laughed. They were entering the classroom again. “Welcome back,” Mr. Medina said as they took their seats. Rory noticed where Sarah was sitting…right behind her. ‘This can’t be good,’ Rory thought as a pit in the bottom of her stomach formed. Rory questioningly glanced over at Tristan who kept his eyes on Rory. ‘Don’t worry,’ Tristan mouthed to her. ‘It’s only first period. What am I going to do?’ Rory began asking herself. ‘What will she do? CALM DOWN GILMORE!’ she yelled at herself. ‘You have a great boyfriend who will protect you. But what if he can’t be with me at all times?’ This questioning went on all period. Tristan walked over to her desk when the bell rang and took her by the hand. “Are you okay Rory?” Tristan asked. Rory looked as white as a ghost. “You look pale…are you feeling okay?” “I’m fine just um…scared,” she confessed to him. She looked into his blue eyes. They were filled with concern and worry. “What happens if you can’t be with me at all times? Like the bathroom?” Rory asked, looking for answers to her hypothetical scenarios. “I’ll have Madeline or Louise go in with you,” he answered. “What if you’re absent?” she shot back. “Then I will have Mike, Chris, or any of the guys protect you,” he assured her. “Rory trust me. Everything will be okay.” “I hope your right,” she said. The second period bell rang and they entered the classroom. The next two periods seemed to slide by in slow motion. It seemed like days to them before lunch. Tristan and Rory sat at a stone bench. “Who’s going to be with me in eighth period?” Rory asked, remembering Tristan had a different class. “Taken care of. Already explained everything to Mike. He will stay with you until I show up to drive you home,” he explained. “But Stars Hollow is EXTREMLY out of your way. I can take the bus…I’m sure she won’t follow me to my house,” Rory said. Tristan said with the utmost concern, “I’m not taking any chances with my BABY!” Rory smiled. She realized tonight was Gilmore movie night. Since Dean was invited to one Rory was sure her mom wouldn’t mind if Tristan came to tonights…given the circumstances. “In appreciation of your Protection Service, I am cordially inviting you to movie night at the Gilmore house.” Tristan thought for a minute. “That sounds great. Your mom won’t mind right?” he asked. “Lorelai Gilmore turn away the boy who is her daughters body guard? NEVER!” Rory assured him. “Rory aren’t you forgetting something,” Tristan said. “What?” “You’re in this mess because of ME!” he exclaimed. “No,” she objected. “I am in this mess because I am in love with you and she is jealous because you are such a great guy.” “Hope your mom sees it that way.” Tristan walked her to class. ~*~ 8th Period ~*~ Rory was sitting in Ms. Caldecott’s class staring at the clock. ‘Thirty minutes,’ Rory thought. A folded up piece of notebook paper being thrown to her desk distracted her. Rory unfolded the note and read… ===== Luv Always <3<3<3<3<3 @-->--->--->-- Shy One "Cheese Me No Likey" "No TOUCHY!Bad LLama!!" "DEMON LLAMA!!!"
