Most of the Chilton Student body was going to go after prom activities at the country club. Tristan was prepared to take Rory there, even if it meant that his parents will have a greater chance of learning threw the grape vine that he returned to Hartford without their knowledge. Not that they wouldn’t find out already with him being Prom King and all, but still it was a greater chance.
Rory was thrilled to have gone to her prom, but was not looking forward to the after prom part. This night was more than she could have ever expected, but being outside of the dance part with the people she didn’t consider her friends was not something she was looking forward too. She wasn’t sure how Tristan would take the news, but there was only one way to find out.
“Do we have to go to the country club?” She asked him while they danced the last dance of the evening.
“Not if you don’t want to.” Tristan asked her, while looking down at her.
“I’m not really up to it, but if you think we should since we are the royalty now, we can.”
Tristan could tell that she did not want to go and there was no way he was going to force her too. “They can manage without their King and Queen just fine. We can just go back to Star’s Hollow after this dance.”
“Will you stay with me there?” She asked as she rested her cheek on his shoulder.
“If you want me too.”
“Will you do anything I ask you too?”
“Yes.” He held her tighter as the last versus of the song played over the loud speakers.

Once they reach Star’s Hollow, Tristan opened the door for Rory, and lead her up her porch stairs. There he stopped her, and lend down to kiss her goodnight softly on the lips. He could feel a tear sleep down her eyes as he pulled away.
“What’s wrong Rory?” He asked her softly as he wiped the tear away with his thumb.
“You said you would stay.” Another tear slipped down the side of her face, Tristan brushed that one way too.
“I am, but can’t I kiss you goodnight like a good knight in shinning armor at the door.” He smirked at her gently and she smiled back.
“Ok then by all means give me a goodnight kiss.” Tristan lend back down and kissed her again. Only this time she responded by opening her mouth as his tongue traced her lips. As their tongues danced together, they both felt the butterflies in their stomachs go wild. Tristan was the first to pull way. Rory licked her lips to saver the taste of his, while Tristan smirked.
“What time was my mom coming home?” Rory asked as she lead him into the house. Tristan smirked and gladly followed her into the house.
