"Actually, I gotta test, ..in History" Rory chimed in quickly.

"Okay, maybe some other time" Dharma replied.

At the bus stop they parted ways.

That night, there was a town meeting. Rory and her mother took their usual spots, with Luke next to them, as many of the townspeople were there.

"My first item is regarding…."

"Wait! I would like to forward a motion." Looking back, Loralai and Rory saw who it was: the blonde woman, who had stood up.

"Excuse me?"

"Isn't this a town meeting?" she replied, with a naivete that surprised Loralai.

"Yes..but..you're not a resident." The mayor, annoyed by this interuption.

"Good point" Dharma said "However, residency or not, someone must point out the need for more  organic things in the lives of people. There seems to be a need to add…Kharmic to counteract the overflooding of unnatural things"

"Unnatural! What about that yoga stuff of yours that got poor Kirk with a paralized arm" Babette pointed to Kirk who was seated in front of her, with a cast, his arm in the same position.

"Yoga helps bring balance. Again, I'm sorry for Kirk's injury."

"Look," Greg began "My wife's been teaching Yoga for many years without incident."

"Order!" Doosey exclaimed.  "Look……."

"Dharma" the blonde woman replied.

"Town meetings are a place for residents to talk about their needs, as a visitor, nothing voted for here could affect you"

"But don't you see??"Dharma continued "Kharmic balance is as essencial to the mind and spirit as food, and shelter. Without it, everthing else doesn't matter."

"Oh God......just what we needed in these meetings" Luke scrowled with sarcasm and grumpiness to Loralai "Flower Power pychedelic crap." He rolled his eyes.

"I forward the motion to reject Dharma's proposal for regarding….Kharmic balance…..Those in favor say Aye"

"Aye" the vote was unanimous.

Chargrinned, Dharma sat down, and just watched during the rest of the proceedings.

Right after the proceedings, Dharma and Greg caught up with the two Loralais.

"Hey Rory!" Dharma greeted them.

"Hey!"

"I got a little something for ya" She held up a bag. "Look!"

"Thanks!"  Rory exclaimed in surprise.

"Thank you so much" Loralai chimed in, putting in extra politiness as they were guests at the Inn.

Opening it, Rory saw  a bunch of candles, of various colors.

"They're for aromatherapy" Dharma explained. "See, the idea is that smells could help you relax and balance. You seemed stressed when we saw you at the bus."

"Thanks again."

"Anyway…we gotta go, we're going for a walk."

"Bye! Thanks again!" the two Gilmores called to them.

When they got home, Rory inspected the contents of the bag even more, with Loralai by her side.

"They must have bought out the candleshop!" Loralai remarked.

"Yeah."

Meanwhile, as they walked along an empty area of town, Dharma had an idea…..

"You little vixen…" Greg said to her.

Unfortuntaly however, as they sleep nude on the grasses, a police officer saw them and put them in the local jail for indecent exposure.
