"What Chicago trip are they talking about?" Lorelai asked.
"Mom, calm down please." Rory begged.
"From what I hear it sounds like my daughter is taking a trip to Chicago, but my daughter wouldn't make a decision like that with out telling me. At least my daughter would not." Lorelai said.
"Mom, I just heard about it yesterday, I haven't decided if I'm going or not." Rory said.
"What exactly would you be going to Chicago for?" Lorelai asked.
"For some writing contest that I won. But like I said I'm not sure if I'm going to go or not." She said as she sat down on the couch.
Lorelai walked over to her. "Why not?"
"Because I believe that Tristan's family arranged for the both of us to go and personally I don't want to be involved in something that isn't all together honest."
"And what if it is honest? What if you miss out on something that only comes around once in your life?" Lorelai asked.
"And what if it isn't honest, and I go and help knock someone else who deserves to have that position out of it?"
"Well it looks like you have a lot to think about and so do I." Lorelai said.
"What do you have to think about?" Rory asked.
"Luke and my life." She said.
"Oh yeah Jess is also going on this trip." She said as she started to head to into her room.
"If that was suppose to reassure me, it didn't." Lorelai said.
"You can stop looking for her, she's not here yet." Jess said to Luke.
"What are you talking about?" Luke asked Jess.
"Lorelai, you keep looking for here, it's not even seven yet, and they always come in at the same time." Jess said as he took a plate.
"I'm not looking for her, I'm just seeing everyone who is here." Luke said.
"Do you really think that sounds believable?" Jess asked.
"You know what Jess, get out of my way, I've got people to serve." Luke said as he waked past him.
Jess laughed. "You are pitiful you know that."
"What do you mean?" Luke asked.
"One day with out her and you're going nuts."
Rory dialed the phone. It rang four times before Tristan picked it up.
"Mary?" Tristan asked.
"How did you know it was me?" She asked.
"I put your number in my address book." He said.
"How did you get my number?"
"I was sworn not to tell you."
"Fine, what do you want?" She asked.
"I called to tell I talked to my dad about the trip and it's true, I'm sorry Rory. I had no clue." Tristan said seriously.
"Of course, now I have no clue what to do." Rory said annoyed
"You don't have to go, I'm not." Tristan said.
"And you're family is ok with this?" Rory asked.
"Of course not, but they have no choice."
"What do you think they will do?"
"Send me back to the camp probably."
"You're willing to do that for me?" She asked.
"Of course not, I'm doing it for me. I can't possibly be known as someone who spends his time writing." He said lying.
"Fine, whatever, but I think I will still go and maybe you'll go too." She said as she hung up the phone.
Rory dialed Paris's number.
"Hola." The house cleaner said.
"Can I speak to Paris?" Rory asked.
"Paris!" The woman screamed.
Paris came into the room and grabbed the phone. "Hello?"
"Paris, it's Rory."
"Yeah hey, I'm calling to tell you that I'm going with you on that trip to Chicago." Paris said.
"What? Why?" Rory asked annoyed.
"For the paper, I'm going to write about it." Paris said.
"I'm on the paper, I can write about." Rory said.
"You'd be a little bias don't you think. Not that it really matters if you want me to go or not I am. I already got it cleared to go."
"Fine, I guess I'll see there." Rory said as she hung up the phone.
