Chapter 1: Princess Lorelai
Rory glanced at her watch and noted that it was 7:05am. Feeling annoyed at the delay she yelled upstairs, "Mom! Hurry up, we're running late, and it Danish day."
"Just one more minute," her mother's voice called down. "I'm almost ready."
Rory looked at her watch, "Okay, you have sixty seconds before I leave without you."
Forty-five seconds later her mother, Lorelai called down, "Okay, I'm ready."
"Finally."
"Now close your eyes," Lorelai requested.
"MOOO-oooM!"
"Pleaseeee?"
Rory closed her eyes and covered them with her hand, "Alright they're closed."
Rory heard her mom begin descending the stairs, as Lorelai said, "Okay, don't open them till I say."
Four seconds later, Rory heard her mom say, "Okay you can look now."
Knowing her mother's eccentric ways, Rory tried to brace herself for what she might see when she removed he hand. Despite her preparations, the sight Rory found when she removed her hand from her eyes left her speechless.
Lorelai was standing on the bottom step with one hand on the banister, and the other held dramatically in the air. She was dressed all in white including white hose, and white sneakers. She wore a skintight white leotard with a low neckline, and a short frilly skirt consisted of multiple layers of lace. A tiara sat atop her head, holding her hair in place.
When Rory's only response was silence, Lorelai asked, "Well, what do you think of my costume?"
"I think that you're a little old to dress as a fairy princess for Halloween."
Lorelai faked a look of shock as she said, "I'm not a princess. I'm a ballerina." To demonstrate Lorelai put her hands above her head and began turning slowly around. Unfortunately she was still was still standing on the bottom step, and only managed a quarter turn before she lost her balance and started to pitch over. She managed to catch the banister and keep herself from falling, but failed to maintain any semblance of the image she was trying to project.
"Well," Rory said, "you've sure got the moves down. Can we go now?" She picked up her backpack and headed towards the door.
Lorelai followed her and said, "Wait, you didn't tell me what you think of my costume."
Rory stopped and turned around looking her mother up and down again, "On second thought, why don't you give me a five minute head start. That way I don't run the risk of being seen with you."
Rory grabbed her coat and opened the front door, heading out, while she pulled on her coat. Lorelai picked up her coat, purse and keys and followed close behind saying, "Someone sounds a bit crabby today."
As the waked along, Rory glanced at Lorelai and said, "You'd be crabby if your mother was going out of her way to embarrass you."
As she slid on her coat, Lorelai got a mischievous look in her eye and said, "That's not true. If I really wanted to embarrass you, I'd show up like this at your school."
Rory stopped walking and turned on her mom as shocked panic flashed across her face, "You wouldn't?"
"I might. If you won't tell me what you think of my Halloween costume, I just might feel the need to go and get other opinions." Lorelai cocked her head to one side smiled, and continued, "And I can't think of a better place to get lots of opinions than at your school."
"No," Rory pleaded sounding one notch below desperate. "I think it's a really great ballerina costume. Maybe the best ever."
Lorelai tilted her head to the other side and asked, "Really?"
"Oh yeah. I especially like the tiara."
"I thought it was a nice touch."
"Oh it is," Rory, answered as they resumed walking. "As a matter of fact, just the other day I was saying to Lane, You know you just don't see enough tiaras anymore."
Lorelai touched her tiara and said, "Well, it's not a look that everyone can pull off."
Five minutes later, Rory walked alone into Luke's Diner. Luke, wearing his normal plaid flannel shirt over a tee shirt, and a backwards facing baseball cap on his head, looked up from where he was standing behind the counter reviewing order tickets. Rory smiled at Luke and said, "Morning, Luke. Coffee and Danish to go please."
"You got it." As Luke grabbed a to go cup he said, "I was beginning to wonder if you guys were sick. You're never this late on Danish day."
Rory rolled her eyes and said, "Don't get me started. My mom was… Well, she was being my mom."
As Luke placed a Danish in a bag he said, "You have my sympathy. Where is your mom anyway?"
"Miss Patty stopped her to ask her something. I'm sure she'll be along in a minute." Rory put some money on the counter and picked up the bag and coffee. She smiled at Luke and said, "Bye, Luke. Thanks. Have a nice day."
Luke held up a finger in a wave and replied, "You to, Rory."
A couple of minutes later when Lorelai walked in, Luke was on the phone. Luke held up a finger asking Lorelai to give him a second. Lorelai nodded and sat down at the counter.
Luke listened at the phone, wrote something onto his order pad and said, "Got it. That'll be ready in about twenty minutes. Okay see you then. Thanks." He hung up the phone and moved towards the counter. He reached under the counter and pulled out a large mug and saucer that he sat in front of Lorelai. "Morning." He said as he retrieved the coffee pot and began to fill the mug."
"Hi," Lorelai smiled.
"Danish?"
"Yes please," she answered. As Luke turned to get the pastry, she stood up and removed her coat.
While Lorelai was standing, Luke retrieved her Danish and was about to place it in front of her. Then he caught sight of her nicely form fitting, but slightly unusual outfit, stopping him dead in his tracks.
When Lorelai realized that he was just standing there with his mouth hanging open staring at her, she asked, "What?"
Finding his voice Luke asked, "What are you wearing?"
Lorelai looked down at herself and said, "It' Halloween, and this, is my costume," She looked at Luke, crossed her arms, and said, "I see you're dressed as the backwards baseball hat, flannel shirt wearing guy. Didn't you do that last year?"
Luke sat the plate with the Danish on the counter and asked, "Don't you think you're a bit old to dress up like Tinker Bell?"
With exaggerated shock she replied, "I am not Tinker Bell." She stood up, held her arms above her head, and turned around in her version of a pirouette. While more successful than her earlier attempt on the stairs, she still didn't quite pull it off.
When Luke only stared at her in confused silence, she said in an exasperated tone, "I'm a ballerina."
Twice Luke started to say something but changed his mind. Finely he settled on, "Nice costume."
Lorelai cocked her head, gave him her sweet smile and said, "Thank you."
