Prince Charming
Putting the dress on, Rory looked at herself in the mirror. Finally fully dressed Rory was able to see how well the dress fit her body. It hugged her curves in all the right places. 'Mom sure knows how to make a dress!' Walking to her dresser she tried to find some form of jewlary to match the blue of the dress. Not finding anything on her dresser she walked out into the hall.
"Mom I need something to wear with the dress. Do you have anything to match?"
"Hold on babe. I'll be down in a minute. I just need to put on my ears."
"Ears?" Waiting by the stairs Rory got her fisrt look at Lorelei's costume. "Are you really going as a Play Boy Bunny?"
""Hey I look hot in this. Okay."
"Whatever. Do you have anything I can wear?"
"Oh yeah. Here you go." In Lorelei's hand sat a small locket on a blue silk band. Opening it Rory found a picture of herself on one side and empty space on the other.
"It's beautiful!"
"I saw it and thought of you. I didn't want to put the other picture in. Thought it would be something you would want to do." Lorelei helped fasten the locket around Rorys neck before they took one last look at their selves.
"Well here goes nothing."
Stepping into the Town Square Rory and Lorelei were bombarded witched, devils, and surprisingly schoolgirls. Lane was to the side djing the event like usual. The gazebo was packed full of every kind of food imaginable.
"My God. Look at all this food. Sookie has out done herself this time."
"I know. She spent the last three days at the inn cooking and baking anything she could think of."
"Rory!" Someone dressed as a nun ran up to the Gilmore girls.
"Lane? Please tell me you didn't pick that out yourself!"
"Please. I wanted to go as Madonna. You know 'Touch Like A Virgin.' This is my moms idea."
"Figures. So what's next on the music list?"
"Well I was thinking some slow songs for a while then maybe a little rock or pop after that. Which reminds me. This song is almost over. Gotta run. See ya." Lane ran off into the sea of dressed up townspeople. The music slowly and smothley transetioned to Mariah Carey's 'We Belong Together.'
Walking to the edge to the dance floor, Rory looked around at all the dancing couples. Feeling left out she started to turn around to leave but was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. Standing in front of her was a young man dressed in a botton up white shirt and black breeches that stopped below the knee with black boots. A white mask covered the uppper half of his face leaving his tanned jaw pen to view.
"Can I have this dance m'lady?" Not able to find her voice she merely nodded her concent. Taking her hand gently in his he led her inot the middle of the dance floor. Nt knowng what to do with her hands she settled on placing them on his shoulders. He placed his hands on her waist and gently pulled her a little closer. "No why was a beautiful girl like you not out on the dance floor earlier?"
"My boyfriend won't be back until tommorrow so I had no date."
"That's a pity. If I had a girl like you I would never leave her alone for a night. She would also never have to show up anywhere without a escort." Blushing Rory tried to change the subject.
"What are you supossed to be? A pirate?"
"Why Prince Charming of course."
"Oh of course." Not thinking she leaned closer and rested her head on his shoulder. "You smell nice." Pulling away he peered into her eyes.
"What do I smell like?" Smiling widley
"Coffee! My favorite smell."
"Noted." Looking back into his eyes she felt the sudden urge to kiss him. Her eyes shot from his eyes to his lips and back again. Taking that as permission he leaned in and brushed his lips against hers. Pulling back he looked inot her eyes again. "Sorry." With that he let go and walked off leaving her in the middle of the dance floor. Staring at the spot where he used to be Rory started to feel empty.
