Rory's Prom
One Friday night on the way from from Friday night dinner Lorelai and Rory are in the jeep
''so the prom is next Friday night'' Rory says
''Really so are you going to go?'' Lorelai asks her
''oh I don't know maybe we'll see I don't have a date or a dress''
''oh I think you should hunnie it's your senior prom it's a once in a lifetime experience that you shouldn't miss''
''you missed yours'' she says to Lorelai
''I know and it's definitely something that I'm not too thrilled about and if I could go back and do it right I would'' Lorelai tells her
''so why all of a sudden do you care if I go or not it's just a dance and I don't dance
'' I don't care if you go that's your decision so why are you flipping out and making this such a big deal?'' Lorelai says
''I don't think I'm making this a big deal out of telling you about this I think your the one that's making a big deal out of whether I go to this stupid thing or not and yelling at me and not helping me make my decision any faster'' Rory says harshly
''ok ok enough calm down cool off... so what are you going to wear?''
''oh I don't know I don't have a dress and it's a little too late to buy one'' Rory says
''I don't think it's too late to buy one the prom is a week away kid we have plenty of time to shop and look maybe we can go to the mall tomorrow and shop and try them all on until you find the one you want and then we can go and pick out some great shoes and jewelry to match the dress and pick out a hair style that will look great on you then we can go out for a nice lunch I'll pay my treat'' Lorelai says
Rory laughs
''ok and I was thinking like really cute and curly for the hairstyle'' Rory says
'' what color dress do you think you want to wear?'' Lorelai asks her
''oh I don't know yet'' Rory says
''do you have a date for the prom preferably someone really cute?''
''no and that's part of the reason why I don't want to go to prom is because I don't want to look like a loser showing up at prom without a date because girl's are supposed to have dates to go to the prom and since none of the kid's at school like me I will be stuck listening to Paris and Tristen arguing over which one of them will make me miserable first'' Rory says tiredly
''aww or it will be all sparkly and wonderful and special and a night that you will remember for the rest of your life'' Lorelai says in a trying to cheer Rory up tone
They finally get home and head inside
''you want to watch a movie babe?'' she asks Rory
''no I think I will just like to go to bed I'm just really tired'' Rory says
''ok you feeling ok?'' she asks and feel's Rory's cheeks and forehead because of her rapid change of behavior
''yea I'm fine it's just been just a long week a really long week that's all night mom
''ok night babe feel better ok?'' she kisses her daughter's cheek
'' I will'' Rory says and she walks to her door and shuts the door
Lorelai just stands there looking concerned then turns off all the lights downstairs and goes upstairs and changed into her pajamas then goes into the bathroom to brush her teeth and gets into bed then lights the light and lays down and goes to sleep
