"Hey, Lana." Clark said as she ascended the stairs. "How's it going?"
he asked.
"Oh it's good. You?" She asked casually.
"Good." He replied.
"Good. So who's that girl I keep seeing you with? Is she new?" Lana asked, trying not to make it sound too harsh.
"Oh that's Rory. She's staying with us for the summer. Her mom and my mom were friend when they were younger."
"That's cool. Does she like it here so far?" Lana asked trying not to get jealous.
"Yea. I think she's having a good time." Clark said, then he realized that is palms weren't sweating and there were no butterflies in his stomach. He had never talked to Lana with out it happening before. He knew he really was over Lana. The two sat and talked for a while longer.
"Hey mom." Rory said when she reached the phone.
"Hello there, oh daughter of mine. How is country life treating you?" Lorelai asked.
"Much better than expected." Rory told her as she headed upstairs with the phone.
"Ooh! Details, explain, I want to know everything. Is it Clark? Did you meet someone? Tell me tell me!" Lorelai exclaimed. Rory could practically see her bouncing up and down.
"Ok, ok, hold on!" Rory said trying to calm her mother down. "First off, I got a letter from Dean."
"What!"
"Yea, he wrote to tell me he met someone."
"Oh sweetie I'm sorry."
"Actually, I was really ok with it. I was even relieved! I'm glad he's moving on. " Rory told her mom then braced her self for the next set of news. "And actually, I'm moving on too. Clark asked me to his end-of-the- year dance."
"Really! That's great! Wait what are you going to wear? You didn't pack any dresses, much less one good enough for a dance."
"Yea, I know. I guess I'll have to have Martha take me shopping."
"No way. You've never worn a dress I didn't make to a dance."
"Mom I've only been to one other dance."
"When's the dance?"
"Next Friday."
"Ooh! I can make you a dress, then over night it to you!"
"But mom, what if it doesn't fit?"
"Oh Ye of little faith. I have made enough stuff for you that I could do it with my eyes closed and my hand tied behind my back!"
"Well…"
"Then it's settled! I'll start on it tonight and have it to you by Wednesday."
"Ok, but mom."
"Yea."
"Use both hand and keep your eyes open."
"I will I promise." Lorelai laughed as the two continued talking.
"Oh it's good. You?" She asked casually.
"Good." He replied.
"Good. So who's that girl I keep seeing you with? Is she new?" Lana asked, trying not to make it sound too harsh.
