A/N: Here it is…an UPDATE! Yay!
Rory got ready as quickly as she could and saved herself some time by eating a donut on the way to the bus stop. Even with that timesaver she barely made it. The bus was just starting to pull away as she jogged up.
The bus driver looked none to happy, but she stopped and let Rory get on anyway.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry." Rory said directing her apology to the bus driver and whoever happened to be inside the bus at the moment.
The bus driver nodded and closed the doors and motioned for Rory to take a seat so that they could get on their way.
Rory plopped into an empty seat and pulled her book out. But before she even opened it to the correct page, her cell phone rang.
"Hey, Sleepy Head, did you make it to the bus in time?" Lorelai giggled in her ear.
"Barely. And that little prank you pulled this morning was so not funny." Rory answered.
"It so was. You know it was." Lorelai teased.
"Fine. Maybe it was, but please don't repeat it." Rory grudgingly agreed.
"Ha! I knew you would think it was funny. But, hey, I've gotta run. I need to get to the Inn. Talk to you later, hon." Lorelai said.
"Bye." Rory answered and ended the call.
After reading a few chapters in her book, the bus pulled up in front of Chilton.
"Thanks." Rory said to the bus driver and exited the bus.
Her health class was right after home-room, so Rory would soon know the particulars of their sugar bag baby project.
Later, when she entered her health class she saw Tristan sitting with his back to a large bay window. "He looks pretty cute today." Rory thought.
"What? That is a ridiculous thought. It must just be because of the conversation mom and I had this morning. Tristan is just Tristan." Rory thought quickly.
When Tristan looked up and saw her standing by the door, he smiled and waved her over.
Rory reluctantly walked over to him. "What?"
"Good morning, Rory." Tristan greeted.
Rory raised an eyebrow at his niceness. "Good morning to you to, Tristan."
"And to answer your question, all of the people paired up are supposed to sit next to each other."
Rory gave small frown, but never the less she sat down.
A minute later, the teacher arrived and the class was called to order. "For those of you that were absent from class yesterday and may not have heard, we will be starting a new assignment today. I drew names out of a hat to see who would be partnered with whom. The list is on the bulletin board at the back of the room. For those of you who already know whom they are paired with please sit next to that person."
Several people got up and moved seats at this announcement.
"We're ahead already." Tristan joked with a laugh.
Rory gave a slight giggle and then returned her attention to the teacher.
"As I call out your names, please come up and receive your assignment and your papers." Ms. Duvey requested of the entire class.
"Rebecca and Rob."
A very tall girl with blonde hair got up and followed one of Chilton's basketball players to the front of the room.
"Here are your papers, outlining the details of the assignment and here are your pretend children." Ms. Duvey handed them each one five-pound bag of sugar with faces and clothes painted on them.
Rob held a "boy sugar bag" and Rebecca held a "girl sugar bag."
Rory gasped. "We each have to take care of one? I thought we shared the responsibility's of one sugar bag?"
Ms. Duvey, hearing Rory's question gave a short laugh. "Some of you will get one sugar bag and others may get two."
Rory sighed and looked at Tristan. He looked as shocked as she felt.
"Rory and Tristan." Ms. Duvey called.
Rory and Tristan slowly stood up and made their way to the front of the classroom.
"Here are the papers on your assignment and your sugar bag." Ms. Duvey said as she handed the items over.
Rory realized immediately that she said 'sugar bag' as in singular and sighed with relief.
Tristan took the papers and Rory took the sugar bag. It had a red dress and blue eyes painted on and a cream colored face, with rosy cheeks and lips.
Once the sugar bags were all handed out, Ms. Duvey told them a little bit more about the project.
"Most of the instructions are on the papers that I have given you. And also, you might notice that the sugar bags have faces painted on, but no hair. We thought it might be fun if you decided what color, how long, or if any, hair for them. So that part of their appearance is up to you. Remember that communication is vital in this project. Class dismissed."
