" Michele where is that phone book? I need it now"
" I know you need it now. You been saying that for the last 5 minutes."
" Michele if I don't find it now you will have to deal with all these angry clients who won't have pillow cases. Ah ha found it."
" Good now leave me to do my job."
" No need to get so rude about it Frenchy." Replies Lorelai as she walks off with the phone dialing as she walks.
" Hello is Tony there. Tell him its Lorelai...... Tony where are my pillowcases. . No I didn't get them. I need them now. Fine you have 30 minutes to get them here. Good bye."
" Mum, oh hi Michele."
" What honey."
" I got an A+ on my English exam and I beat Paris!"
" Was Paris steaming "
" Oh yeah the funniest thing was she took my paper off me read it then walked up to the teacher and demanded he make hers an A+ too. But he didn't. Instead he told her to sit down or lose marks. So she sat down fuming. Her face was all red. It was so funny mum. So how has your day been "
" To hell and back was too easy so they decided to make it worse."
" Oh that bad huh."
" Yeah that bad. Now you have to help Sookie and me decide what we are going to wear to the ball this Saturday. "
" Cool."
" Give me a few minutes to grab Sookie and we will be off."

" Sookie, this would be perfect for you"
" Lorelai what are you thinking. Look at it. Its too short, plus I've got my man."
" How about this Sookie," asked Rory holding up an emerald green dress with a matching green wrap around shawl.
" That is gorgeous Rory. Sookie you have to try that one."
" I know."
" Here you go."
Several minutes later Sookie emerged and looking very pretty. The green dressed fitted perfectly. With the dress splaying out as it went to the ground. Sookie did a twirl in the dress to see what the others thought of it. " Sookie you have to get it."
" It feels really nice and I have the perfect pair of shoes for it at home. OK I'm done now you two have to find something now."
Several minutes both Gilmore Girls come across the perfect dresses. Rory has a lovely deep purple dress with short shoulder straps and Lorelai a light sky blue dress with the same design as Rory's but with a cut out back and a shawl like Sookie's. Quickly trying them on they know they are the right dresses and they soon get Sookie's approval.
" Where to now," asked Rory after they paid for the dresses.
" I'm thinking Luke's for dinner then a movie marathon. Sookie"
" I can come to Luke's but have to go home to Jackson and show him this dress."
" To Luke's it is"
[STARS HOLLOW- LUKE'S DINER]
" Oh great the caffeine twins are back and have a friend," mumbles Luke as he sees them approaching laughing and talking.
" Hey Luke. Guess what."
" I don't want to guess. Coffee"
" Need you ask? We just bought our dresses for this ball."
" That's good. Anything else?" asks Luke but his mind is thinking what kind of dresses they bought especially Lorelai.
" Yeah three Danishes please. "
" Ok. They will be here in a second."
" Mum what's wrong with Luke and where is Jess."
" With Bad boy who knows. Luke just looks tired that's all."
" Hey Luke you need some caffeine to pick you up." Lorelai told him as he returned
" You're not putting that stuff anywhere in my body."
" I was joking Luke."
" Sorry. Just had Taylor in here telling me what Jess just did "
" Oh this sounds interesting. Do tell." All the girls lean in for him to tell
"He decided to play hopscotch on the road and spray painted the squares. Well imagine Taylor when he saw pink squares on the road."
" I would have loved to have seen his face."
" But Jess wrote in one of the squares Taylor is scary and that wasn't a smart idea on Jess's part."
" That's true Luke"
" Yeah I know. Well enjoy your meal. I have to take more orders."
" Bye Luke" All three yelled out.
" And Lorelai" he said as he turned around and was hit with a bit of Danish in the face. " No throwing food please. " He turned around and walked over to a customer leaving Lorelai laughing at his retreating figure.
" Why did she do that Rory?"
" It's her new way of annoying Luke and it really works. She has so far thrown a chip, egg and now a Danish at him."
" Oh."
" Rory. Have you asked Lane if she can come to the ball " asks Lorelai who has finally joined the conversation.
" Yeah. We are working on a plan to get her to come. Any suggestions at the moment are most welcome."
" Hold her hostage and tell her mother the ransom is to let her go to the ball."
" Mum seriously."
"I am being serious"
" No you're not. Sookie any ideas."
" Sorry."
"Hey Luke"
" No, before you even ask."
" I know." Pipes up Jess who had just come in and was listening to their conversation.
" This ought to be good, " whispers Lorelai
" It is good. You remember her cousin Dave. Well get him to tell her mother that he is taking her to met a Korean friend of his that is going to become a doctor and that the only time he can met her is at this ball."
" Hey that might just work Jess."
" Well I told you it was good."
"Since you were the one who came up with this brilliant plan we're going to talk to Lane and see if it will work."
" There is no way I'm going over there"
" Yes you are, now move it." And she force fully pulls him off the stool and out of the diner.
" She is your daughter." Luke says out loud
" That she is."
"Now Luke."
"What now"
" More coffee" replies Lorelai holding up her glass and pouting
"Drink Rory's."
" Already did."
" Fine." Walks over and fill her cup.
" Thank you Luke"
" Just make sure that lasts longer than the other one."
" Hey Luke."
" No"
" I didn't get to ask my question yet."
" Nor are you going to."
"What are you wearing to the ball? You know you can't wear flannel. There said it." In rushed voice she gets it out.
" I do know that Lorelai. I already have a tux ready. Now excuse me I have work to do and a diner to run."
"A tux. You in a tux."
" Yes me." He replies over his shoulder as he goes into the back.
" Do you believe it Sookie? He has a tux. Flannel man has a tux."
" Yes I do now drink you coffee we have to go see if Lane can come."
" Alright lets go." Drinking the remaining coffee left, she hops out and grabs all their gear and walks out of the dinner.
