1.3 Fiona's Whereabouts
"I am so excited for the Prom!" Lorelai said at breakfast, "You get to go away and leave me at home watching TV. I am pigging out tomorrow night; candy, cake, the works. Total piggage. That's an appointment for me and food."
"You really want to go, don't you?" her daughter asked.
"Yes I do. But I have no date." the mother replied sadly.
"Go with Luke, then."
"He's not going," she gave Luke a scowl.
Raine then came to refill their coffee mugs. She heard the last bit and said, "I can set you up with a blind date, it you want, Ms. Lorelai."
"No."
"That was pretty fast."
"No. The last time I went on a blind date, I was ready to claw my date's face off."
"Well, Rune was a little weird, but not all guys are like him." Rory said helpfully.
"I promise you that this guy is cool. Trust me, Ms. Lorelai. It was like you went with me."
Lorelai blinked at Raine and said, "Well, that's pretty promising…"
"You know what I mean."
Lorelai hesitated and turned to her daughter. Rory was looking at her expectantly.
"Ugh. Fine. But if this guy is a weirdo, I am moving you and Leo to the crappy room."
When Raine walked away, Lorelai broke into a smile, "I have a date! Yay!"
"You seriously need some counseling."
The Prom thing was the next day. The whole town was busy that night. Jess, the Gilmores and Raine had all agreed earlier that Jess was to spend the night at the Inn and Raine was to do the same at Rory's house.
As the girls did their nails, they talked.
"So, Raine, are you going to tell me what sort of psycho you have lined up for me tomorrow?"
"No."
"A clue? What does he look like?"
"He's tall. Has hair…"
"Oh, he has hair; I'm buying my wedding dress first thing tomorrow!"
"So, Rory, what are you wearing?"
"I still have no idea, actually," she flipped through a magazine, "I was thinking something along the lines of this." It was a simple black dress with little strappy things on the shoulders.
"Looks hard to get into with all those straps."
"Yeah. But it's really beautiful."
"I think I have something like that." Raine smiled, "I can give it to you tomorrow."
Lorelai suddenly pitched forward and grabbed the magazine. She held it against Raine's face.
"This is you, isn't it?"
Raine just smiled slightly and awkwardly.
Casey, Leo and Jess sat on the floor in a small circle playing poker.
"AAHH! Straight flush! Straight flush!"
"You cheater!"
"Hey Casey, where's Satan—I mean, Fiona?" Leo asked suddenly.
"I don't know. She ran off with some bartender."
"Heartbroken?"
"'Course not. Fiona WAS evil, wasn't she?"
"Yeah, Fiona's like, that witch in Sleeping Beauty, the cartoon, I mean."
"The one with the horns?"
"Yeah. That's her."
"So, Leo, is Raine still hung up over this dork?" Casey said pointing to Jess.
"I don't know." Leo looked at Jess, "Is she?"
"No. Evidently, according to her, I had 'ugly hair' and I 'read too much'."
"You DO have ugly hair, man. Leo's a stylist isn't he? Maybe he can fix it."
"There is nothing wrong with my hair, alright?!"
Casey and Leo exchanged glances, "Okay, whatever you say, dude."
Jess scowled, "It's too high, isn't it?"
"I am so excited for the Prom!" Lorelai said at breakfast, "You get to go away and leave me at home watching TV. I am pigging out tomorrow night; candy, cake, the works. Total piggage. That's an appointment for me and food."
