Gilmore Mansion-6 PM

'You ring it. I had to last week.' Lorelai tried to get out of going to the party, but it was no luck.

'Mom, fine I'll ring it.' Rory rang the bell and a new maid opened the door and ushered them in.

'Rory! Lorelai! You're here. Now come on, I want you to meet Professor Manville. He is from Yale and wants to talk to you.' Emily grabbed Rory's arm and pulled her away. Lorelai wandered around, talked to boring people, and then an hour later, found Rory sitting down.

'Hey babe. How are you doing.' Lorelai sat down with Rory on the couch.

'Mom, do you think grandma would let me leave to go see the basketball game? It's the semifinals and all the guys are counting on me being there. Since I'm their 'lucky charm' and all.' Rory laughed and looked at her mom.

'Sure babe. Just tell grandma and then if you leave, I'm leaving. Is there a party after the game?' They both got up and headed towards Emily to leave. They said goodbye and headed outside to their own cars.

'Yea, it's at Tristans house. I don't know what time I would be home though, I might just stay the night, that okay?'

'Sure babe. I'll see you tomorrow ok.' Lorelai got into her car and left. She didn't have to worry about her daughter spending the night at Tristan's house because Rory is trustworthy and she slept over Tristan's all the time and vice versa.

Game time-Chilton gym, 8 PM

'And now ladies and gentlemen, here comes the Chilton Eagles!' The gym was packed and roaring with pride. Rory sat with her classmates as she watched the guys run onto the court.

Tristan and Matt were the wings, Tom was the point guard and Jack and Pat were the forwards. When you had these five on the court, they were unbeatable. So unbeatable, that Tristan got the game winning shot and the score was 99-64. Rory and the fans ran onto the court going crazy. They we're going to the championships!

'Rory!' Tristan yelled as he came up behind Rory. She turned around and engulfed him in a massive hug. 'Tristan! You were awesome out there! That had to be the best game you have played yet!'
