Chapter 10: Loosen Up, Paris
After school ended, Rory remembered that she had no way to get back home. So she went to find Alli to ask her for a ride. She found Alli talking to Paris at Alli's locker. "Hey you guys." Rory greeted.
"Hi! What's up?" Alli asked.
"I missed the bus this morning, and Jess gave me a ride, and now I have no way to get back home."
"Sure, I'll drive you." Alli finished for her. "Paris was actually going to come to my house to study. Do you want to study with us?"
"Yeah, if that's ok with you," Rory said, directing her question at Paris.
Paris said, "Sure, the more the merrier." Rory thought that Paris's behavior was getting weirder and weirder by the day. She was actually starting to be nice and social. Paris was actually becoming friendly towards Rory.
"Great, let's go then." Alli said, closing her locker and picking up her backpack from the ground. The three girls walked out to Alli's car together, every once in awhile-making small talk. They reached the car and they all climbed in. Rory got in the back, Alli in the driver's seat, and Paris in the passenger's seat. Alli backed out of the parking lot and drove towards Star's Hollow.
Rory interrupted the silence. "So, what are we going to study for?"
"That physics exam that's next Monday." Paris replied.
"Yeah, I'm not very good with science." Alli added, winking at Rory through the rearview mirror.
"Me neither. I'm better with words." Rory said.
"I'm better with an instrument." Alli confessed.
"Are you in band?" Rory asked. She didn't really even know that much about Alli, but she wanted to.
"Yeah, I play the flute." Alli told her.
"She's really good. She'll probably be a professional someday." Paris told Rory, twisting in her seat to look at her.
"Really? That's so cool. I've never really tried to play an instrument before." Rory said.
"Yeah, I like it. I'm not a band geek or anything," Alli added.
The girls all giggled, and Rory said, "I think everybody at our school is a geek."
"Yup, private schools usually have that affect on people," Alli mused.
"Hey! I resent that!" Paris said. She giggled again, and said, "Ok, not really."
The girls continued talking, and arrived at Alli's house. It had been changed a lot since Rory and Lorelai moved out, Rory could hardly recognize it. The siding had been painted a light blue, and the gardening and windows and everything else that you could imagine were unlike the last time Rory had seen them. "Wow. This looks different."
"My parents are definitely into originality." Alli said as she turned off the ignition and the three got out of the car.
"I bet Taylor will have a cow over this. Did you tell him about all of your plans before you executed them?" Rory asked, knowing how Taylor was always trying to protect Star's Hollow from horrible things like house renovations and CD stores.
"No, are we supposed to?" Alli asked, perplexed.
"I'm not sure if it's in the official town rules, but even if it isn't, Taylor will probably freak. He got totally bent out of shape when he saw kids skateboarding down Main Street. Beware." Rory warned her in a cryptic voice, trying really hard to keep a straight face.
"We'll be on the lookout." Alli said sarcastically with a smile. They entered the house and went into the kitchen through the living room. The only thing that was familiar to Rory was the placement of the walls.
"Gee, and I thought it would be weird coming in here when someone else was living here." Rory said as she looked around.
"Hi girls! How was school?" An older woman with sandy blonde hair greeted from the kitchen. She looked a lot like a mix between Paris and Alli.
"Hi Mom!"
"Hi, Aunt Margie." Paris greeted her.
"Hey Alli, Paris. Who's this?" Margie asked.
"Oh, Mom, this is Rory Gilmore. She used to live here in this house, she moved just outside of Star's Hollow. She's in a bunch of Paris's classes, too." Alli explained. "Rory, this is my mother, Margie Greene."
"Hi, Mrs. Greene." Rory said, shaking Margie's hand.
"Oh please, call me Margie. Mrs. Greene is way too formal." Margie said with a grin.
"Ok."
"So, Aunt Marg, us three were going to study for our physics exam that's on next Monday." Paris said as the girls sat down at the kitchen table and got out their physics notes and books.
"Really? Studying on a Friday? Aren't you supposed to take a break Friday night?" Margie asked.
"Yeah, we should Mom, but Paris insisted that we study now." Alli said, glancing in Paris's direction.
"That does sound like something Paris would do," Rory added.
"Hey!" Paris said.
"Girls, you need to take a break. Go have some fun. It's Friday night, for crying out loud, you should be out having the time of your life, not studying for some physics exam." Margie said.
"You know, you should hang out with my mom. You and my mom would get along great. That sounds exactly like something that she would say." Rory said.
"Yeah, it does." Paris added.
"Girls! Go have fun." Margie said.
"But Aunt Margie-"
"Ah, no exceptions. You will have fun tonight if it kills Rory and Jess trying to make that happen. Now go go!" Margie said, shooing them out the door.
"Wait! Mom!"
"Go have fun!"
"No, I mean, we're all still in our Chilton uniform, and we can't have fun in our Chilton uniforms." Alli protested.
Margie sighed, and said, "Fine. You three can go change."
"I can change at my house. It's not that far away." Rory said.
"Ok, you two go change, Rory, take the book bags and put them over there." Margie told everyone. They all did as they were told, and soon Paris and Alli came out of the kitchen freshly dressed. Paris had on a long sleeved white t-shirt and simple jeans, with her blonde hair pulled up into a nice ponytail. Alli had her hair up in a half ponytail, and she was wearing black pants and a red shirt.
"Let's go!" Alli said, and they all three walked out the door.
Once they had all gotten in the car, Paris said, "Ok, where are we going?"
"To Rory's house, duh." Alli said.
"After that." Paris asked again.
Rory and Alli put their heads together, only to find that they had the same plan. "It's a surprise, Paris. Just be patient." Rory told Paris.
"What are you going to do to me?" Paris asked jokingly.
"We'll never give up our evil plot!" Alli said with an evil laugh.
"You guys!" Paris shouted in vain.
"You will have fun, ok. Just loosen up, Paris!" Rory told her.
"Do what?" Paris asked.
"Come on, just meditate or something!" Alli told her.
"Meditate?" Paris asked, completely confused.
"Yeah, just go like this. Oh ummmmmmm." Rory said as she attempted to meditate in the car. Alli just giggled, and Paris gave her a strange look.
"Did someone put something weird in the cafeteria food today? Or am I just seeing things? Did you just try to meditate?" Paris asked in frenzy.
"Paris, it's ok. You know its been proven that if you have less stress you do better in school." Rory pointed out.
"Yeah, I guess that is true." Paris admitted.
"So chill out! Take the time to smell the roses!" Alli told her as the car pulled into Rory's driveway.
"Ok, I'm going to go change and get Jess, you teach her how to meditate." Rory told Alli.
"Consider it done." Alli said in a determined voice.
"Wait, why are you getting Jess? Rory? Rory." Paris's voice faded away from Rory as she walked away from the car and into her house. She dropped the keys on a table in the front hall, and said, "Jess? Are you home yet?"
"Hi." Jess said as he approached her from behind.
She jumped, and said, "God, Jess, don't do that again. You scared me half to-"
Rory was cut off by Jess leaning in close to her face and then kissing her. He was the best kisser she had ever kissed (not that she had much to compare to, but still.). He was experienced, and it felt good. He put his hands lightly on her hips, and they broke apart only for air. "To what?" Jess asked, maybe an inch away from her, his hands still on her hips.
"Huh?" Rory said.
"You said 'God, Jess, don't do that again. You scared me half to' and then you stopped. Sooooo." Jess left the rest hanging.
"Oh, that. You scared me half to death. I think." Rory stammered out.
Jess smirked, and leaned in to give her a hug. When his lips were next to her ear, he said, "You're a good kisser too, you know."
She blushed furiously, and after they separated said, "I have to, um, I have to do something."
"Hey, how did you get here?" Jess asked.
"That's it! We're taking Paris dancing, and you're coming with us." Rory said.
"What? I don't know how to dance very well." Jess said.
"Who cares? You'll be with me, remember?" Rory reminded him.
Jess put his arms around her waist, and said, "When you put it that way."
He kissed her lightly, and then said, "You better go change."
"Right! That's what I was supposed to do." Rory said.
"I'll wait down here." Jess told her. A few minutes later, Rory reappeared into the front hall with a low ponytail and a blue shirt on.
"Sorry I took so long. I had a phone call to make. Let's go." Rory said, leading him out to the car.
They opened the car door only to hear Paris say, "You know, I don't get how humming and closing your eyes makes you relaxed."
"Hi Paris, Alli." Jess said as the couple got in the car.
"Hi Jess. We've got one more stop before we get to our destination." Alli said as they pulled out onto the road.
"Ugg! Where are you taking us this time?" Paris asked, slightly annoyed.
"You'll like this, we promise." Rory swore.
Alli turned the car on the proper street, and said, "OK, now Paris, close your eyes."
"I am not closing my eyes-"
"Just close your eyes!" They all three yelled.
"Fine, fine." Paris agreed, squeezing her eyes shut and hoping that Rory and Alli hadn't come up with some kind of crazy idea.
A 'mysterious figure' walked up to the car and gets in. "You can open up now." Alli told her. Sitting in the car with them all is Jamie, Paris's date.
"Jamie! What are you doing here?" Paris said, surprised.
"Alli and Rory invited me to go out with you guys tonight." Jamie told her. "I just got back in town, and I haven't gotten a chance to call you."
"That's ok." Paris told him. "What are you guys making us all do, anyway?"
"We're going dancing!" Rory said.
"What! I don't know how to dance!" Paris exclaimed.
"None of us do. Really well, anyway. Jus enjoy being out, Paris, OK?" Alli told her.
"I don't know, guys."
"I'll help you learn, Paris." Jamie offered.
"See, the man has spoken. Case closed." Alli decided.
"But, but."
"Oh, look, we're already here. Better go inside." Alli said.
Paris rolled her eyes, but got out of the car anyway. The five of them walked into "The Landing" and were immediately greeted by loud beat-pumping music and many dancers and drinkers.
"I don't know about this," Paris said.
"Oh come on, please Paris." Rory begged.
"Fine, I'll stay." Paris finally relented.
"Good. It's time to PARTY!" They all shouted together.
