A/N: Rory is not together with anyone.
"Ug, I had the worst day," Rory moaned to Lorelai.
"What happened?" Lorelai asked her.
"Oh, just the usual. Except throw in a tad bit more of Tristan's teasing, and Paris being in a snit, because I got a better grade than her on a science project" Rory answered with a sigh.
"Well, I've got even better news for you" Lorelai told her grimly.
"What?" Rory asked her.
"Your grandma's throwing a party and we have to attend." Lorelai told her.
'No!" Rory said, throwing herself down onto the couch.
"I'm afraid so. And even better news, it's tomorrow" Lorelai said.
"Well, she certainly told us in plenty of time" Rory remarked sarcastically.
Lorelai glanced at her momentarily. "Oh, I've known about it for weeks. But I didn't tell you, because I didn't want to depress you."
"Gee thanks, mom. Now, I don't even have an outfit" Rory groaned.
"On the contrary, my dear!" Lorelai exclaimed.
"Huh?" Rory asked, looking up from her reclined position on the couch.
Lorelai grinned and trotted up the stairs. "Be right back" she called over her shoulder.
A second later she came lightly down the stairs, holding two dresses.
Rory immediately sat straight up. "Mom, where did you get those?"
"I made them," Lorelai announced.
"One was a snow white, with sheer netting covering the bottom, and a sparkly top. The other was a rosy pink with the same design, except the bottom was infused with sparkles.
"What do you think?" Lorelai asked her.
"They're beautiful!" Rory breathed.
Lorelai beamed. "The pink one is yours."
"Thanks mom" Rory told her as she carefully took the pink dress.
"You're welcome. I figured that if we have to go to this thing, then we are going dressed in style," Lorelai told her with a giggle.
Rory giggled too and said, "let me hang it up, and then we can go to Luke's for some dinner."
Lorelai agreed and they were soon heading for Luke's.
Once they were seated at the counter, and had placed their orders, Rory turned to Lorelai.
"I know this might sound ridiculous, but I'm actually looking forward to this party."
Lorelai wrinkled her nose. "How come?"
Rory giggled. "Because, I want to wear my new dress."
Lorelai grinned. "You really like it?'
Rory smiled. "Yes"
Lorelai smiled back. "Good."
"So, are we expected to bring dates to this thing?" Rory asked.
Luke glanced up at them and frowned. "Dates?'
Lorelai grimaced. "My mother is having this party tomorrow night, and we have to go. And no, Rory, we don't have to bring dates."
Rory sighed. "That's good."
After they had finished eating, they paid the bill and headed for home.
"Mom, I'm home" Rory called out, the next afternoon, as she walked in the front door.
"Ok. I'm in my room getting ready. Put your dress on and come up here. I'll curl your hair" Lorelai called.
"Okay. Be right up" Rory called as she walked into her room.
After Rory had finished changing, she hurried upstairs and sat down at her mother's vanity table.
Lorelai smiled at Rory's reflection in the mirror and began to curl her hair.
"I can't believe that you're already ready" Rory said, gazing at her mother in the mirror.
Lorelai rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, well I actually started getting ready about an hour ago."
Rory laughed. "Figures."
Lorelai stepped back. "Your hair is finished."
Rory stood up and faced her mother.
Lorelai spun them both around to face a full-length mirror.
Smiling at their reflections she said, "We are going to knock their socks off!"
Rory grinned and headed for the door. "If we hurry, we can stop at Luke's for some coffee."
Lorelai laughed and headed after her. "Now you're singing my tune."
"Hey Luke" Rory said as she and Lorelai walked into the diner.
Luke glanced up, and then back down to the order that he was taking over the phone.
Suddenly, his head popped back up and his mouth dropped open.
He quickly, finished taking the order and hung up. "Where are you two going so dressed up?"
"To my mothers party. Remember, I told you about it yesterday?" Loreali answered.
"Oh, um yeah. It's just that we don't get a lot of people dressed in evening wear in here," Luke told them.
Lorelai laughed. "Yes, well what can I say? We're special."
"Can we please have two cups of coffee to go?" Rory asked.
Luke made a face. "Figures" he said echoing Rory's earlier comment.
Rory grabbed her cup of coffee and headed for the door. "Thanks Luke."
Lorelai grinned at him and then followed Rory out to the car.
After they were well under way, Rory glanced over at Lorelai and said, "I do believe that if you had looked really hard, you would have seen Luke's socks lying on the floor."
Lorelai quickly glanced over at Rory's face and burst out laughing.
