Disclaimer: I'm offering you another shocking announcement: I do not own the Gilmore Girls. That's right! I'm a no-owner!!

Jess stopped the car in front of Cathy Clarkson's house and Rory jumped out of the car with her three children. She came out less than five minutes later and hopped back in the car. Jess put the car into drive and the couple headed to the high school.
~~~~~
Dean and Margaret locked the Inn door behind them, checked and made sure their children were all right with a video and a pizza, and headed toward the high school.

Stars Hollow High was all decked out. Songs from 1999-2003 were blasting out of giant speakers next to a platform underneath a basketball hoop in the newly renovated gym. A large crowd of generation Y-er's from SHH and their spouses were milling around the gym, looking at the posters of people from the graduating class and memorabilia from the era. The Foresters entered through one door at the exact same time the Marianos entered through the door facing them. The couples gazed around the gym, and the men's eyes caught each other at the same time. They glared at each other and dragged their wives to opposite posters. Rory and Margaret ignored their husbands and continued looking around the gym. They caught each other's eye, and Rory saw Dean standing next to Margaret and spun around to look at the poster with Jess. Margaret was curious, so she told Dean to stay while she went to talk to someone. Like a good little husband, he obliged, and Margaret walked across the large gym and stopped in front of the Marianos.
"Hi." she said to their backs. The couple spun around. Jess relaxed when he saw the unknown woman standing in front of him; Rory tensed.
"Hi. I'm Jess Mariano, and this is my wife Rory." Jess gestured to Rory with his left hand, shaking Margaret's hand with his right. Margaret looked curiously at the woman shielding her face with her hand.
"I'm Margaret Forester. My husband is-"
"I know who your husband is." Jess interrupted angrily. "Where is the bag boy bastard?"
"Jess." Rory cautioned from behind her hand. "Calm down."
"Don't tell me to calm down! You're not calm. You're hiding behind your hand because of what he did."
Rory dropped her hand and huffily faced Jess, ready to fight.
"Excuse me, just what did my husband do?"
Rory and Jess simultaneously turned to face Margaret, the same look on both their faces. You know, the one where someone has to tell you something they don't want to? Margaret's own face fell when she saw it.
"Oh, no." she murmured.
"He...well, he...." Rory trailed off and Jess opened his mouth to drop the fatal bomb, but someone interrupted them.
"Rory? Oh my god, is that really you?"
"Kathy Fischer!" Rory hugged Kathy.
"I just haven't seen you in forever!"
"Really? Because the last time I left town for more than a week was when I was in college."
"Yeah, well, your mom was the center of a lot of rumors while you were gone, so Mom bought me this great house in California. It has three pools!"
"Wow!" Rory said sarcastically. "Well, I gotta go now."
"Okay, well I'll call you sometime!"
"Great!" Rory turned around to her husband, whose shoulders were shaking with silent laughter. Rory hit him and he stopped laughing.
"I'm sorry," he said with a huge smile on his face, "it's not funny at--at--" and with that he burst into laughter. Rory joined in, and Margaret tried to see the humor and failed. If she had laughed, she would have been laughing at herself. She was the same type of character. She married Dean because Mother had bought her a great big wedding dress and a house for them to live in. So Margaret just chuckled slightly. She was still nervous about what her husband had done.
