Chapter Four – Blind Dates

Hartford Shopping Center

About an hour later Rory, Lorelai, and Stephanie where at the mall shopping for a dress for Rory when Stephanie got a call from her mother informing her she had to go to the event as well.

"Great, I have to go too." Stephanie mumbled as she threw her cell phone back into her purse.

"Hah I so love the fact that I don't have to go." Lorelai said, both Rory and Stephanie glared at her for a moment when Stephanie so a store and squealed.

"There let's go!" Stephanie grabbed Rory's arm and started pulling her along to the store.

"Oh, Rory look at this it's so cute you should wear it!" Stephanie said pointing to a dark blue dress that was a little to short for Rory's taste.

"No thanks Steph, it's not my type of dress." Rory responded

"Hey you guys I found a great dress." Lorelai said waving them over to the other end of the store. Lorelai pulled out red/black beaded silk stunning evening dress features gorgeous handmade embroideries compose of silver tone and translucent color beads with sequins on pure silk, with a fluid asymmetrical ruffle layers hem, a bodice, and spaghetti straps.

Stephanie squealed when she saw it, "It's so pretty!"

"Wow that's gorgeous. Stephanie you should go try that on." Rory said, as soon as the words left her mouth Stephanie had taken the dress form Lorelai and ran towards the changing rooms. Both Gilmore's laughed and headed towards the dressing rooms and waited for Stephanie, she came out and did a twirl in front of three mirrors and looked at herself then Rory and Lorelai.

"So what do you think?"

"It looks perfect on you Steph you are definitely getting that dress." Lorelai said.

"Ok I'll get changed and then we can find Rory a dress." Stephanie stated.

Lorelai just turned and smiled at Rory, "Uh oh that's your wicked smile you're planning something. What are you planning?" Rory questioned her mother.

"Nothing, just thinking about how much fun I'm going to have finding you a dress." Lorelai answered with an innocent look. Rory just shook her head and started looking at dresses.

About 10 minutes Stephanie came out of the dressing room. "What took you so long?" Lorelai questioned.

"The zipper wouldn't unzip. So have we found Rory anything yet?"

"No everything I've showed her she says there is something wrong with it. Where is she anyway?" Lorelai commented and looked around for Rory.

"Over there." Stephanie pointed and they headed that way. "Find something you like yet girlie?"

"Yeah, hey I'm gonna go try it on." Rory said and headed towards the dressing room.

"Rory you've been in there for 15 minutes come out already!" Stephanie whined.

"I don't think this dress is for me after all. I'm just gonna change." Rory yelled through the curtain.

"No! Missy we are going to see you in that dress. Either you come out here or we go in there. You pick." Stephanie stated.

"Fine! I'm coming out." Rory walked out of the dressing room and stood where Stephanie had stood earlier. "There happy?" she asked.

But neither Stephanie nor Lorelai answered they looked at Rory in awe. She was wearing a baby blue ¾ length floral laced dress. The dress had spaghetti straps with simple neckline, and lower back with crisscross straps. Glittering sheered lace layers over solid lining, and an asymmetrical ruffled hem.

"Wow Rory you look great." Lorelai said. Stephanie did a once over on Rory and noticed a bruise on her upper arm but decided not to say anything about it… yet.

"Yeah Ror, you look absolutely beautiful. We have to buy that, but we need to hurry up we now only have 2 hours to get ready." Stephanie said. Rory nodded and went to go change. She gave a sigh of relief after closing the curtain, grateful neither of them saw the bruise on Rory's arm. She had forgotten about it and for tonight was going to just put cover-up on it.

Yale University

Rory and Stephanie's Dorm

Lorelai had just dropped Rory and Steph off at Yale and they where heading towards there dorm room. Rory opened the door and found Colin sitting in the living room in a suit.

"Hey Colin, what's with the suit?" Rory asked while walking in with Stephanie behind her.

"About a half hour after you guys left. Logan, Finn, and myself got calls from our parents saying we were required to attend the same party as you guys and apparently we all have been set up 'with suitable partners of our age and status.'" Colin said, restating what his mother had said to him.

"Ok, but that doesn't explain why you are here." Steph said.

"Finn and Logan are still getting ready and where fighting over the bathroom. Finn was saying Logan was hogging the mirror and other stupid stuff. I decided since you guys weren't here I would change here instead." Colin said.

Both girls nodded there heads, "We have to get ready. Don't break anything." Rory said as she and Stephanie headed towards their bedrooms half an hour both girls where ready and each had on light make-up, they had their dresses and shoes on all they had to do now was get their purses.

As they entered their common room all three guys where now there. "Hey guys." Stephanie said and they all grumbled a hello or hey. Just when Rory's cell phone started to ring, the tune of 'The Adams Family' theme song filled the room.

"Great it's my grandmother." Rory mumbled and answered her phone in a fake cheery voice. "Hi grandma, yes I'm ready, and yeas I'm on my way I'm just about to leave. Ok… wait you what? I have a what? Grandma you know I have a boyfriend… fine bye." Rory said they where all trying to figure out what was going on after just hearing the one sided conversation.

"My grandmother set me up with someone for tonight." Rory said.

"Join the club." Logan said while standing up. "Ok lets all go Frank's waiting for us."

They all headed out of the dorm and into the limo that was now headed towards the Elder Gilmore's residents.

Limousine

"So who do you think you got set up with this time?" Colin asked randomly.

"Most likely Melissa Falon, my mother has been trying to get me to go out with for years." Logan said. The rest had no clue who they where with.

"Mr. Huntzberger we have arrived." Frank said after rolling down the divider in the limo.

"Ok thanks Frank" Logan answered and soon Frank opened the door for them and they all got out. There where many cars parked outside the Gilmore house and more people where arriving.

"Your grandparents sure no how to throw a shin dig Rory." Colin commented.

"Oh yeah I know it. Come on let's get inside and get this over with." Rory said and they all went to the door.
