It had been as week since Rory had been home to Stars Hallow and everything

had been quiet for Rory.

Even Paris had been quiet as usual. This could only mean one thing. BIG

Trouble! Rory wasn't really an optimist and knew that something would happen

soon. Now at 7 clock Rory decided now would be a good time to take a nice hot

shower order some Pizza and start her movie marathon. She had just gotten to

the bathroom door when some one frantically knocked on the door. With a sigh

of annoyance Rory stalked to the door. She was in for a big suprise when she

saw Stephanie holding four big bags and looking for a quick escape.

" Can I come in please" Stephanie said almost pleadingly

With out really saying anything Rory moved aside and let her in. Once the door

was close Stephanie sighed with relief.

" So what happened to you and whom were you running from" Rory asked

" That's actually a funny story you know that girl Melissa Brook?" Stephanie

asked but with a shake of Rory's head she continued. " Well I accidentally spilt

whine on her white dress she was going to wear tonight, and now she's out for

my blood and umm I have to hide until the Halloween party tonight so can I

please stay" Stephanie said

" Sure I guess but what brings you to my room" Rory asked

" I remember Finn and Logan talking about it so I figured it would be a safe

place" Stephanie said

" Ok" Rory said not surprised that they were talking about her. They were

probably planning on pranking her or something just as childish.

" What are your plans for tonight" Stephanie asked Rory sitting on the couch

" Shower junk food and some movies" Rory answered

" How fun hmm no parties" Stephanie asked

" Nope" Rory replied

" Well you can always come with me" Stephanie said

" Thanks but no thanks and besides I don't have a costume" Rory said

" I have a few in these bags if you like" Stephanie said

Before Rory could answer her cell phone e rang. Giving Stephanie the quick

hold on a sec sign she headed to her room to answer it.

" Hello" she said

" Hey" Lorelei said on the other line

" Hey mom what's up" Rory said

" O nothing minus tinker bell is missing her Wendy and Peter pan turned into a

spy" Lorelei said

" Couldn't get him to were the tights huh" Rory asked

" Nope but I still did my hair flip and managed to get him to agree to go to the

dance with me" Lorelei in a teenagers voice sounding scarily like a teenie

bopper

" Nice I'm so proud of you" Rory said in a proud voice an mother would use for

her kid who had just gotten a good report card

" So my dear what do you plan on doing tonight" Lorelei asked

" Movies, food, shower" Rory answered

" I thought you were kidding come on go party and be wild" Lorelei said

" Well Stephanie did ask me if I wanted to go to a party with her" Rory said

" The gorilla chic?" Lorelei asked

" Yup" Rory said

" Well then go with her then" Lorelei said

" But I feel weird and I don't have a costume

" I do" you could hear from the other room

" You heard the girl now go pick a costume chop chop and I want to see

pictures!" Lorelei exclaimed excitedly

" Fine" Rory said with a sigh giving in

" That my girl now go party till the sun comes up and call me tomarrow so i

know your ok and not in jail"Lorelei said in a pretend stern voice

"k mom I'll call you tommarow" Rory said and hung up the phone. Well this was

going to be an interesting night she thought.

" Ok I'm in let me see the costumes" Rory said walking back into the room

" Sure thing darlin" Stephanie said with a smile

Opening up her bag Rory took a quick glimpse through all the outfits. Aww man

there all short she thought, what the hell for one night I might as well let it all go.

She finally picked out an outfit that had a corset top and a skirt that had ridges

on the bottom.

" Nice choice now add these and you'll be the wicked bell of the ball" Stephanie

said pulling out a mask anda pair of black wings.

" Interesting a masquerade?" Rory asked

" You got it doll so go get a shower so I can get one then we can get ready and

be there at 10" Stephanie said

" Ay ay caption" Rory said sarcastically and headed to the shower.

Stephanie couldn't help but silently laugh god was Logan's eye's going to pop

out when he saw Rory in this . He had only seen her fully clothed and even

though she was still clothed there was a lot more showing.

" Hmm may be I should call an Ambulance to wait out side for when he has a

heart attack" she whispered with a grin.
