Chapter 2: Society Sucks a...
Lorelai had been walking around the house looking for something to do. She tried everything calling her friends, listening to music, watching TV. You'd think there'd be something good on TV with more that 400 channels to choose from. She was just sitting in her room when one of the maids came in.
"Hey uh… you're new aren't you?" She nodded.
"I'm Jaclyn. Mrs. Gilmore wanted me to inform you that she wants you at the patio in 10 minutes."
"Great. Thanks." Lorelai thought of all the horrible things that could happen at the patio. But she thought it'd be better to go then to have another fight. Lorelai was down there by 15 minutes.
"Lorelai I told you to be down here in 10 minutes and it's been 15."
"Well I'm sorry but I didn't realize that I had an appointment with you. We live in the same house mom why can't you just come up to my room and tell me what you have to say?" Lorelai said while playing with her hair.
"When someone tells you to be there in 10 minutes they expect you there in ten minutes."
"Oh well I'm sorry mom I got lost on the way here see there was way to much traffic."
"Lorelai." Emily said not amused.
"Okay what do you want?" Lorelai was impatient.
"Well if you didn't go on and on I would have told you by now."
"And here we go."
"Anyways you know the Daughters of the American Revolution?" Lorelai nodded. "Well they're having a Debutante Ball in a few months."
"Oh no. No, no, no, no, no. You can't make me I'm not going!"
"Lorelai it is important for a person to be properly presented to society. Every young girl dreams of this day!"
"Society sucks a…"
"Lorelai! You will not use that kind of language! I have a dress for you Sandy is bringing it up right now."
"It's Jaclyn." Lorelai said shortly. "And you can't make me go."
"You will be going unless you want to be grounded for the rest of the month after you go to the Ball because either way you're going." Lorelai didn't really care if she got grounded she'd sneak out of the house anyway.
"Yeah okay you do that but I'm not going." Lorelai started to walk away.
"No CDs, TV, phone, anything!" Emily yelled.
"Okay that's great!" Emily came after her.
"Lorelai you are going to that ball!" Lorelai couldn't stand the yelling anymore so she gave in.
"Fine you know what I'll go but my curfew gets extended to 12 PM." Lorelai demanded.
"For what a month?"
"No the rest of the time I stay at this house." Which hopefully won't be too long Lorelai added silently.
"11:30," Emily bargained.
"That's only half an hour over my regular curfew. 12 o clock and no earlier than that."
"Fine. You're dress is upstairs and you need an escort. Ask Christopher."
"Fine I will." Lorelai went up stairs to find the dress. When she saw it she started laughing and went back down stairs to find her mother. "Mom you're joking right? I mean that dress up there isn't your idea of a horrible, horrible joke?" Emily's glare was a dead give away, "I guess not then." Lorelai went back up stairs and dialed Christopher's number.
"Hey Chris what's up? … Guess what? I'm coming out… to society… yeah the DAR Ball… Why'd I do it? I really had no choice. It was either agree to it now and don't lose contact with the outside world or don't agree go anyway and end up losing contact with the outside world anyway … so either way it's a lose, lose situation … okay so I know you hate doing these things as much as I do but I was wondering if you would be my escort . . . please Chris … okay you're coming right now? Why? . . . Alright I'll see when you get here. Okay buh bye." Lorelai hung up.
Christopher had just turned 16 not too long ago his parents gave him a Porsche he had crashed it just hours after the party. Of course he had gotten a new one. Lorelai was going to be 16 very soon in about 3 weeks.
In about 10 minutes Chris tapped on Lorelai's window and came in. He had this weird look on his face like he was up to something. Lorelai noticed right away.
"So where's the dress?" Chris asked immediately. He was up to something alright.
Lorelai picked the dress up and put it against her body, "Right here." Christopher laughed, "I wouldn't laugh so soon Mr. You have wear a tux, black tails, white cumber bunds, and white gloves."
"Whoa hey who said I agreed to this thing anyway?" Chris asked.
"Well you're going to have to or my dear mother will have a cow because I would never go without you."
"And your mother having a cow is a bad thing?"
Lorelai thought for a moment, "Huh you're right never mind that last statement. But you know it could be fun."
"What ball room dancing?"
"No of course not silly. Watching me do a stupid fan dance, sneaking booze, pissing the parents off. You know the usual."
"You know that does sound fun especially you in that hideous dress doing a weird dance."
"So you'll come?"
"Well … I'll do but just for you." Lorelai gave him a quick kiss.
