"Of all the people she could have met…" Lorelai grumbled. "She had to meet Sheena."

"Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for Sheila." Sookie added.

"Ugh, the name alone makes me break out in hives." Lorelai's lip curled.

"Have you given Rory her gift yet?"

"No, last night just didn't seem like the right time. She slept for most of the evening, then spent a few hours doing homework then went back to sleep."

"That sounds so depressing." Sookie frowned.

"It was." Lorelai agreed. "She didn't hardly make a sound all night. She stayed shut up in her room alone."

"Do you think the reason Sheena was so mean to Rory was because of what happened at your parent's house?"

"I have no idea." Lorelai confessed as she poured herself another cup of coffee. "It's the only thing that seems to make sense. But I still don't understand why Sheena would take it out on Rory."

"Maybe…" Sookie paused. "Maybe Sheila is working through Sheena."

Lorelai squinted. "Like, she's punishing Rory by not letting Sheena and her be friends?"

"Yeah, something like that." Sookie replied.

"So, you think that Sheena actually does want to be Rory's friend, but can't because of Sheila, and Sheila is going to keep them from being friends because of what happened the other night?"

"Wow, that was really confusing, but… yes, that's what I'm saying."

Lorelai tapped her finger on the counter "You know, she really seems like the type of person who is into mind control."

"Ohhhh, scary." Sookie's eyes widened.

"I'm serious." Lorelai replied. "it's like she has a spell on Rory."

"Now she's a witch?" Sookie asked.

Lorelai smiled. "Witch isn't exactly the word I would use, I would go more along the lines of Bi-…"

Suddenly Michelle busted through the door. "You have a phone call." He said arrogantly. "I am not your personal answering service by the way."

"You get paid to answer the phones." Lorelai replied as she walked passed the tiny man.

"Only when it is business concerning the inn. I do not get paid to answer your personal calls."

Lorelai picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Mom…" Rory's voice replied softly. "You need to come to Chilton."

"Rory? What's going on? Is something wrong?"

"Sheila is here." Rory replied. "She's been speaking with the Headmaster all morning. I think I'm in trouble."

"Trouble?" Lorelai asked, becoming aggravated. "What could you possibly be in trouble for? You've not done anything to get in trouble."

"I don't know, just please, come."

"I'm coming." Lorelai replied as she hung up the phone. "Unbelievable." Lorelai muttered as she grabbed her purse. "Sookie, I have to go to Chilton." Lorelai called through the kitchen door.

"Is everything okay?" Sookie asked.

"Yeah, everything's fine." Lorelai answered. "I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Kay!" Sookie's cheery voice bellowed.

Lorelai walked down the Chilton hallway, the closer she got to the Headmaster's office the more distinct a certain voice became.

"This is outrageous!" Sheila cried. "My Sheena will not be treated this way! It is your job, as the Headmaster of this academy to ensure her safety and wellbeing!"

Lorelai knocked on the door. "Come in." A voice replied. Lorelai opened the door. "Ah, Ms. Gilmore." Headmaster Charles replied. "Please, have a seat." The man looked very tired and agitated. Lorelai walked over and had a seat across from Sheila who's face was nearly as red as her lipstick.

"My daughter called." Lorelai began. "She told me that she may be in trouble?"

"Trouble is putting it lightly." Sheila huffed.

"Excuse me?" Lorelai asked offensively.

"Ladies…" Headmaster Charles interrupted. "We shall handle this in a civilized matter. Ms. Gilmore, I assume you are unaware of the allegations formed against your daughter?"

"Yes. I am." Lorelai replied seriously.

"Well, there seems to be a rumor going around Chilton that your daughter and Mrs. Stepp's niece are …. Well… fond of each other." Headmaster Charles fiddled with his tie.

"What are you getting at?" Lorelai asked leaning closer to his desk.

"Well, I …" he paused. "I don't like to use this word Ms. Gilmore but…"

"Lesbians!" Sheila shouted from her seat. "Your daughter has told other students that she and My precious Sheena are lesbians!"

Lorelai's mouth dropped to the floor. "Wha- What?" Lorelai couldn't believe her ears. "No." Lorelai replied assertively. "That's not true."

"It is true." Sheila replied.

"Ladies, please." Headmaster Charles replied. "Now, we will get to the bottom of this. If Rory has indeed told other students that she and Sheena are well… lesbians, we will make sure that the rumor is put to rest."

"There will be more than just that done." Sheila said arising from her seat. "I happen to have a minor in law, and I know that not only is this slander, but harassment. She won't leave Sheena alone. She follows her around school. She calls my house multiple times a day. She continues to push herself on Sheena. And now she has spread this horrible rumor!"

"Hey!" Lorelai jumped to her feet. "That's enough!."

Sheila turned and faced Lorelai. "Don't think I don't know where she gets her sinful, disgusting ways of life from."

Lorelai's anger rose to a point that it took every fiber of her being to keep from socking Sheila right in the face. "So help me, God…" Lorelai's face had turned blood red.

"Ms. Gilmore…" Headmaster Charles hurried to her side. "Please, please, just step away."

"God will not help the likes of you!" Sheila retorted.

"You lying, backstabbing, two faced, hypocrite!" Lorelai screeched. "You think you're so powerful and so mighty! You don't want people to serve God, you want people to serve you!"

"Ms. Gilmore, please!"

"Oh! I never!" Sheila placed her hand to her chest.

"Well, now you have!" Lorelai replied as Headmaster Charles continued to guide her away from the frantic woman.

"This academy is corrupt!" Sheila grabbed her purse. "This entire state is corrupt! Headmaster Charles, I am taking my niece home. She will not be returning to this sin infested school ever again."

Sheila rushed out of the office and slammed the door. Lorelai's breathing was heavy and her hands were shaking. Before now it would have taken ten Emilys to make her this angry, but it only took one Sheila. Headmaster Charles sighed and walked back to his desk.

"That is the most irrational woman I have ever met in my life." He replied. "I'm thankful she is pulling her niece of Chilton."
