"Absolutely nothing" Lorelei said after looking in the closet. "Oh, come on" Rory said.

"I'm sorry I'm looking but there is nothing in here" Lorelei said. "Mom please say you're joking" Aurora said.

"No everything in here I wear" Lorelei said. "What" Rory said. "I do there's nothing to give up" Lorelei said. "What about the red and black halter top" Aurora asked. "Oh no" Lorelei said.

"Why" Rory asked. "Uh it's a classic" Lorelei said. "It's got Rhinestones and zebra stripes on it" Rory said. "So" Lorelei said. "Tassels" Rory said.

"Yes" Lorelei said. "It has tassels mom" Rory said. "Okay I've had this since I was 17" Lorelei said. "You also had us when you were 16 your point" Aurora said.

"Okay I'm sorry did I mention the tassels" Rory said. "You and your sister are heartless and unsentimental" Lorelei said to Rory.

"You are a hopeless pack rat" Rory said. "Seriously mom don't make me sign you up for that pack rat show" Aurora said.

"I don't understand why I have to uproot my family of clothing anyway" Lorelei said. "Because it's a charity rampage sale" Rory said. "I know" Lorelei said.

"That you helped organize" Lorelei said. "And volunteered to run" Aurora said.

"Okay" Lorelei said. "Come on mom even I got rid of some of my clothes" Aurora said.

"It was very, very hot in that room that day I was dehydrated they could have talked me into anything" Lorelei said. "It was your idea" Rory said.

"Okay I'm a very sick woman and that should be apparent to anyone" Lorelei said. "You'll say anything to keep your stuff won't you" Aurora said.

"Okay get out of the way" Rory said as she and Aurora went to Lorelei. "What are you doing" Lorelei asked blocking the closet.

"Step away from the closet please" Rory said. "Mom move" Aurora said moving her seeing she wasn't moving. "This is so unfair" Lorelei said.

"Oh, no, no, no not that whole chunk" Lorelei said seeing what Aurora grabbed.

"Okay take that, that's ugly" Lorelei said seeing what Aurora had. "Just that one no" Lorelei said.

"Okay now all of this goes I want you to come over here to this dresser open up the top drawer take out everything that you'd be embarrassed to wear during a car accident" Rory said.

"We'll see you downstairs" Aurora said leaving with Rory. "Move" Rory said seeing Lorelei wasn't moving.

"Sweater" Rory said. "Over here" Lane said, and Rory tossed it to her who put it in a bag. "Jeans" Aurora said. "Back of you" Lane said and Aurora put it in the bag.

"A big furry purple thing that could either be a hat, a toilet paper cover, or some kind of dirty hand puppet" Rory said.

"Mystery box on the left" Lane said and Luke walked in. "Hey" Luke said. "Hey Luke" Rory said. "Lukey" Aurora said smiling and ran to him giving him a quick hug before going back to Rory.

"Where do you want these" Luke asked referring to the bags. "What do you have" Aurora asked.

"Clothes, rags, and some old pots and pans" Luke said. "Kitchenware can go in the kitchen and the clothes can go right over there" Rory said pointing.

"Okay" Luke said putting the bag of clothes down heading to the kitchen to put the kitchenware bag down.

"Here grinch" Lorelei said to Rory coming down. "Thank you" Rory said. "Who wants cheese" Lorelei asked. "Are there crackers" Rory asked.

"Somewhere in the state of Connecticut yes there are crackers" Lorelei said.

"And the Gilmore house" Aurora asked. "Who wants cheese" Lorelei asked. "Me please" Lane said and Lorelei went to the kitchen. "Kittens in the toilet poster" Lane said.

"Another one" Rory asked. "This one's signed" Lane said and looked with Rory and Aurora.

"There's a man in my kitchen somebody call the constable" Lorelei yelled as Luke headed back to the living room.

"Your mom's a fruitcake" Luke said as Lorelei headed to the living room. "Fruitcake's, by the door please" Lorelei said. "Goodbye Rory, Rora I wish you luck with everything" Luke said.

"We appreciate that" Rory said. "Bye Lukey" Aurora said, and Luke left.

"Okay so Rummage sale's Sunday today's Tuesday at this rate we are going to be sleeping in the yard by Thursday" Lorelei said and tossed Lane cheese.

"We've gotta start getting some of this stuff out of the living room" Lorelei said. "Hello" Taylor said coming in.

"Go away" Lorelei said. "I have a full set of dishes" Taylor said. "Come on in Taylor" Rory said. "Oh, um dishes in the kitchen please" Lorelei said.

"Okay but I have to explain something first" Taylor said. "Fine go ahead" Lorelei said. "The butter dish has a small chip in it" Taylor said.

"Safety tip got it" Lorelei said. "It's fine I filled down the chip and if placed strategically on the table nobody will ever know" Taylor said.

"Taylor, would you like to write out some sort of instruction manual to go with the dishes" Lorelei asked. "Oh, could I" Taylor asked.

"Notepad's, in the kitchen" Lorelei said and Taylor went to the kitchen.

"Ooh that's nice" Lorelei said pulling out a jacket. "Put that back" Aurora said.

"But it has Rhinestones on it" Lorelei said. "The point of this is to get crap out of here not trade it in for new crap" Rory said. "Okay are you seeing this" Lorelei asked.

"Yes, I am" Rory said. "No, I don't think you are because if you were seeing this you would see this obviously has Lorelei written all over it" Lorelei said.

"Fine we'll get rid of it at next year's sale" Rory said. "If she doesn't hide it from us" Aurora added.

"Thank you" Lorelei said. "Okay you guys are gonna love me" Sookie said walking in. "We already love you" Lorelei said. "No, I mean you're gonna really love me" Sookie said.

"We do" Lorelei said. "Trust me you guys are gonna so love me" Sookie said.

"Okay can you please just tell us what's in your mind this is staring to give me a headache" Aurora said.

"I have here in my hand as requested by Ms Lorelei Gilmore five fabulous tickets to the bangles at the pastorella theater on Saturday" Sookie said. "What" Lorelei said. "No" Rory said.

"Do you love me" Sookie asked. "Oh, baby do I" Lorelei said. "Are these good seats" Lane asked.

"These look like good seats" Lane said looking at the ticket. "9th row aisle" Sookie said.  "I can't believe you got me my tickets" Lorelei said.

"How did you score these" Lorelei asked. "Remember the Birnbaum wedding" Sookie asked. "Fiji fantasy" Lorelei said.

"Yes, they were so thrilled with the volcano  wedding cake that they wanted to do something nice for me and since Mr. Birnbuam runs a ticket agency, and I knew you were dying to go so I asked him if he could" Sookie said when Lorelei interrupted.

"Make five girls very happy" Lorelei said. "Yeah, and he did" Sookie said. "Huzzah for the Birnbuams" Lorelei said.

"Praise Sookie and her amazing cooking skills" Aurora said smiling. "Hey Sookie if you got five tickets and you and mom go that means" Rory said.

"One for you one for Rora and one for Lane" Sookie said and Lane hugged Sookie.

"Ooh chickadee" Sookie said. "This is gonna be a very special night" Lorelei said as Sookie and Lane pulled away from the hug.

"And you know what a very, very special night deserves" Lorelei said. "What" Rory said. "A new outfit" Lorelei said. "Mom" Aurora said. "Yes" Lorelei said. "No" Rory said.

"What could the problem be" Lorelei asked. "I am so close to calling that show and signing you up" Aurora said.

"As I mentioned yesterday, we will be holding a debate next week your subject did Charles the first receive a fair trial the pros will represent the parliament who deemed they had sovereignty, and the cons will represent the Monarchand try and prove that the charge against him was not legal" Mrs. Caldecott said.

"What is fascinating Mr. Dugray" Caldecott asked seeing him staring at Aurora. "Uh nothing Mrs. Caldecott" Tristian said.

"Nothing Mr. Dugray" Mrs. Caldecott asked. "My notes, my notes are fascinating Mrs. Caldecott" Tristian said.  "Yes, they are fascinating Mr. Dugray" Mrs. Caldecott told him.

"As I was saying the pro and con teams will each have 2 minutes and 30 seconds for introductions six minutes to debate three minutes for conclusions and five minutes for questions from the audience the winner shall be decided by a hand count from the rest of the class" Mrs. Caldecott said and noticed Tristian staring at Aurora again.

"Does that sound like fun Mr. Dugray" Mrs. Caldecott asked. "What" Tristian said.

"The debate does it sound like fun" Mrs. Caldecott asked. "Yes, it does" Tristian said. "It does, doesn't it Mr. Dugray" Mrs. Caldecott said.

"Oh, it absolutely does Mrs. Caldecott said. "More fun than staring at Ms. Aurora Gilmore's ear" Mrs. Caldecott asked. Aurora looked at Tristian for a moment confused before looking back.

"Yes Mrs. Caldecott" Tristian said. "Yeah, I think so too" Mrs. Caldecott said. "Okay any questions" Mrs. Caldecott asked.

"Good I'll assign your teams" Mrs. Caldecott said after no one spoke up.

"Uh you, you, you, and you con" Mrs. Caldecott said pointing to the students. "You, you, you, and you pro" Mrs. Caldecott said.

"Who did she point to" Paris asked. "I think she" Madeline said when Paris stood up. "Excuse me Mrs.  Caldecott" Paris and Mrs. Caldecott looked at her. "Miss Geller" she said.

"I wasn't sure who you pointed to just now" Paris said.

"Oh, let's see you Miss Lynn, Miss Grant, Miss Aurora Gilmore, and Miss Rory Gilmore" Mrs. Caldecott said.

"Are you sure" Paris asked. "Yes, I am but thank you for asking" Mrs. Caldecott said, and Paris sat back down.

>>>

"So, I guess we should make a plan" Rory said. "To do what" Madeline asked. "To work on our debate Madeline" Paris said. "Oh yeah right" Madeline said.

"We need a place to work" Louise said. "My house is out" Paris said. "Why" Louise asked.

"Because it is" Paris said. "We need a reason" Louise said.

"My mother is having the entire place redone she wants all evidence of my father out of there so unless you want to sit on no furniture while watching three Harvey Fierstein impersonators rip up the carpet and paint everything a ridiculous shade of white and call it angel's kiss then we're going to have to find somebody else's house to go to" Paris said.

"My brother has the measles" Madeline said. "My mom's having an affair" Louise said.

"Well, I guess we could go to my and Aurora's house I mean we're having a town rummage sale so it's kind of a mess but it's there" Rory said.

"Isn't your house kind of far" Louise asked. "It's 30 minutes away by bus" Aurora said. "Bus" Madeline said. "I don't do bus" Louise asked.

"Do you have a better suggestion then Ms. Princess" Aurora asked her annoyed.

"I'll drive" Paris said. "Okay so then tomorrow" Rory said. "Tomorrow" Madeline said. "Fine" Louise said. "Fine" Rory said. "Fine" Paris said, and Tristian came over.

"Hey Paris, Rora" Tristian said. "Tristian hi" Paris said. "You know I was really hoping you me and Rora be in the same group" Tristian said.

"You were" Paris asked. "Oh yeah I mean we'd make the long hours of studying go by a lot faster plus come on you, Rora and me on the same team we'd wipe the floor with the others I guess we'll just have to pair up on something else then huh" Tristian said.

"That would be good" Paris said. "Yeah, it would" Tristian said. "Okay I'll see you guys in class" Aurora said leaving.

>>>

"Paris for the last time Tristin doesn't like me he came over there to talk to you not me" Aurora said. "Yeah, only because he needs a distraction" Paris said.

"From what" Aurora asked. "From you" Paris said and Aurora sighed. "Come with me" Aurora said leading Paris.

"Where are we going" Paris asked. "I'm going to prove to you Tristian and I are just friends" Aurora said. "There he is" Aurora said and went to Tristian with Paris.

"Hey Rora" Tristian said before Aurora pushed Tristian to the lockers and kissed him surprising both him and Paris.

Aurora then pulled away and looked at Paris. "See nothing now if you excuse me" Aurora said and went to the bathroom. "Wow" Aurora said leaning against the wall smiling.

>>>

"Do you mind telling me what that kiss was about" Tristian asked Aurora as he was driving.

"I was just proving something to Paris" Aurora said. "And did you" Tristian asked. "Yeah, along with discovering some other things" Aurora said.

"Like what" Tristian asked. "Nothing important" Aurora said and Tristian nodded.

>>>

"Jeez this stuff just like tripples" Rory said walking down with Aurora. "Oh, thank god just in time" Lorelei said seeing Aurora and Rory.

"Grab a bag move it to the side of the room and be very careful this pile just tried to eat Sookie" Lorelei said. "Good to know" Aurora said grabbing a bag.

"Maybe I should sick it on, Paris when she gets here" Rory said.

"You do that I'll do the same to you" Aurora said and Rory grabbed bag as she and Aurora moved the bags to the side.

"Oh my god that's right you're studying here today" Lorelei said. "Any minute actually" Rory said. "This place is such a pit" Lorelei said. "Mom don't worry about it" Rory said.

"We'll manage" Aurora added. "They'll come in they'll make a face they'll say something snotty we'll study they'll leave I'm just looking forward to this whole day being over then I can concentrate on the concert" Rory said.

"Yeah" Lorelei said. "That's a positive way to look at things" Aurora said.

"Lorelei sweetheart, would you come outside please I want to know where you want me to put these" Ms. Patty said and went outside.

"Coming Patty" Lorelei yelled. "Okay two very large porcelain squirrels" Sookie said. "Set them free" Lorelei said. "Kinda makes you wonder who had that" Aurora said.

>>>

"Yeah, you too" Rory said on the phone. "Bye" Rory said and hung up. "No Lane" Aurora asked.

"No Lane" Rory said. Lorelei then walked inside and made her way to the girls. "That was Lane" Rory told Lorelei. "And what's the verdict" Lorelei asked.

"She decided to be stupid and tell her mother the truth that she wanted to go to a rock concert with us tonight in New York" Rory said.

"Stupid" Lorelei said. "Stupid" Rory said. "I'm so sorry" Lorelei said. "I'm making coffee" Rory said leaving. "Now what are we going do about that extra ticket" Aurora asked.

"You could invite Tristian" Lorelei said. "Not really his thing" Aurora said. "This looks really familiar" Patty said motioning to a jacket.

"Oh, that's mine or I saw it first and then I bought it so it's mine now" Lorelei said. "Really who brought it in" Patty asked.

"I think Luke did and judging by his very hostile reaction he obviously wasn't done wearing it yet" Lorelei said. "Oh, my I wonder if" Patty said.

"What" Lorelei said. "Do you know something Ms. Patty" Aurora asked. "I bet this was Rachel's" Patty told Sookie. "Oh, my Rachel's" Sookie said looking at the jacket.

"Rachel, who's Rachel" Lorelei asked. "Someone who apparently owned that jacket" Aurora said.

"Rachel was Luke's very serious girlfriend" Sookie said. "It does look like her" Sookie said referring to the jacket. "When did Luke have a girlfriend" Lorelei asked.

"Oh, this must have been what like five six years ago did she break that man's heart it was terrible" Patty said.

"I wish Lukey told me no one messes with my Lukey's heart and gets away with it" Aurora said leaving. "How did I not know about this" Lorelei asked.

"Honey, you had 11-year-old twins, and you were just moving into this house plus Rachel traveled all the time she was a photographer" Sookie said.

"Archeologist" Patty said. "Really" Sookie asked. "Or flight attendant" Patty said.

"I can't believe I never even heard about it" Sookie said. "At least I think so" Patty said.

"Well Luke never talks about it no one else likes to talk about it because he could probably kill you with that coffeepot if he wanted to" Sookie said and Patty laughed.

"Wow I never pictured Luke having a girlfriend or a broken heart" Lorelei said. "I would keep this hidden if I were you" Patty told Lorelei.

"How's Aurora by the way is she still okay after the accident" Patty asked. "Yeah, she's fine I think hanging out with Tristian has really helped her the most" Lorelei said.

"He's the one who saved her right" Sookie asked and Lorelei nodded. "I gotta be going trampoline class at 2:00" Patty said leaving.

"Bye Patty" Sookie said. "Bye thanks for the drums" Lorelei told Patty. "These all need to be mended" Sookie told Lorelei. "My room" Lorelei said. "Okay" Sookie said and headed upstairs.

Lorelei looked outside and saw Paris, Madeline, and Louise. "Rory, Rora I think your friends are here" Lorelei said.

Rory and Aurora then headed over to Lorelei. "She must be one great babysitter to earn enough money for that car" Lorelei said.

"Let's just get this over with" Rory said. "Take heart my dear suffer today party tonight" Lorelei said. "Come on let's let them in" Aurora said heading to the door with Rory and Lorelei.

Aurora answered the door and saw Paris, Louise, and Madeline. "Hey" Lorelei said. "Hi" Louise said.

"Hi" Madeline said. "Come on in" Lorelei said and they did while Lorelei closed the door behind him.

"So did you guys find it okay" Rory asked heading to the living room with Paris, Louise, Madeline, and Aurora. "There's no sign on the street" Paris said.

"Which is why I told you to turn right at the big rooster statue" Aurora said. "I thought you were kidding" Paris said.

"No, oh no we never kid about Monty" Lorelei said walking over to the girls.

"Monty" Louise questioned. "Monty the rooster Monty" Lorelei said. "Oh" Louise said. "Monty the magnificent" Lorelei said. "Mom, I think they get it" Aurora said.

"Every this my and Aurora's mom" Rory said. "Lorelei" Lorelei said introducing herself. "This is Louise, Madeline, and Paris though I'm sure you met Paris cause of Rora" Rory said.

"Only a few times" Aurora said. "Very good girl group name" Lorelei said and they all stayed silent.

"Okay so um sorry about the house of horrors here some crazy lady volunteered to lead this charity thing and we're trying to get her some help" Lorelei said. "You mean you" Aurora said.

"So, make yourselves comfortable Rory, Rora just yell when you guys want pizza" Lorelei said.

"Okay" Rory said. "Okay" Lorelei said and left. "So do you guys want to work in here or in the kitchen" Rory asked.

"Whatever" Paris said. "This is going to be a long day" Aurora mumbled. "Okay" Rory said, and they all took a seat on the floor.

"Okay so here's how it should go Madeline and Aurora will do the introductions I'll handle the debate Rory will do the conclusion, and Louise will take questions" Paris said.

"Why do you automatically get to handle the debate" Rory asked.

"Because I'm the most experienced at it" Paris said. "Trust me you want her to handle the debate she never gives up" Madeline said and Louise then spoke French.

"Okay" Rory said. "So, what is all this stuff" Louise asked. "It's for a big town rummage sale" Aurora said.

"Like a charity thing" Madeline asked. "Yeah, there's this old bridge that's completely falling apart and the town's trying to save it" Rory said.

"Oh, cool hat" Louise said. "Put that down it's used" Paris said. "Vintage dear" Louise said.

"Filthy darling" Paris said. "There's this great store near my therapist's office who has the best vintage clothes I found an original Pucci top for practically nothing" Madeline said.

"Pucci is very big right now" Louise said. "Is this a Pucci" Madeline asked referring to a shirt. "No that's a Patty" Aurora said.

"A Patty" Louise asked. "Miss Patty she's a dance teacher here these are some of her old costumes" Rory said. "Oh, here Paris, Tristian might like this" Louise said.

"Can we just work please" Paris asked. "I would love to have a boyfriend that looked like Tristian" Louise said as Paris noticed Aurora being quiet.

"Your boyfriend is no slouch either" Madeline said to Rory. "No, he's not" Rory said. "Oh yes 6'2 and feisty so how's that going are you two still Joanie loves Chachi" Louise asked.

"God, I hope not" Rory said. "Your still together aren't you" Madeline asked.

"Annoyingly yes they are though he's growing on me especially if he keeps bringing me milkshakes" Aurora said.

"How long has it been" Louise asked. "I don't know" Rory said. "Yes, you do" Aurora said.

"About a month" Rory said. "Oh lifers" Louise said. "Hey" Paris said getting everyone's attention. "Jeez" Louise said.

"We have a debate to organize here and this conversation is quickly veering toward the subject of French kissing and glittering eyeshadow trashy or trendy and I for one have no intention of being humiliated in front of the whole class because we're forced to study in the middle of a carnival and you two couldn't keep your eye on the prize I want to win and I'm going to win" Paris said.

"So how good of a kisser is Paul Bunyan anyway" Louise asked. "You guys' Paris is right come on now" Aurora told Madeline and Louise and Paris looked at Aurora with a grateful smile.

>>>

"We'll need the actual quotes so learn them by heart" Paris said.

"What about using note cards" Madeline asked. "Note cards look sloppy" Paris said. "But the other teams use notecards" Madeline said.

"And the other teams will lose" Paris said and Sookie came down. "Bye girls, Rory, Rora see you tonight" Sookie said. "See ya" Aurora said. "Bye Sookie" Rory said, and Sookie left.

"What's tonight" Louise asked. "Oh, we've got tickets to see the bangles at the pastorella theater" Rory said.

"In New York" Madeline asked. "Yeah" Rory said. "Sounds potentially not boring" Louise said. "It's gonna be great actually and the seats are amazing" Rory said.

"Who are you going with" Madeline asked. "Just our mom and Sookie" Aurora said. "You're kidding" Louise said.

"What" Rory said. "You're going to a concert with your mom" Louise asked. "Yeah" Rory said.

"I cannot imagine doing anything like that with my mom" Madeline said. "We do stuff like this all the time not such a big deal" Aurora said.

"Really" Madeline said. "Yeah" Rory said. "Wow" Madeline said. "Hey how old is your mom anyway" Louise asked. "32" Rory said. "Young" Madeline said.

"So that means she had you and your sister when she was" Louise said when Paris interrupted.

"16 she had them when she was 16, we've done the math can we just ooh and aw about this quickly and get back to work" Paris said.

"16 I'm 16" Louise said. "So am I" Madeline said. "We're all 16 okay everybody in this room is 16" Paris said.

"Guys we really need to focus and work on this like Paris has been trying to say" Aurora said.

"They're right we need to work" Rory said. "Thank you" Paris said. "I can't imagine having a baby at 16" Louise said. "Well then keep your knees shut" Paris said. "Very nice" Louise said.

"Do you think your mom is sorry she got pregnant so young" Madeline asked. "Madeline seriously what's wrong with you" Aurora asked her.

"Aurora" Rory said. "Don't ever say that to me again you got that cause I will reach over this table and strangle you" Aurora told Madeline.

"Rora" Rory said. "I need some air" Aurora said and left.

>>>

"You're backing out" Lorelei asked Aurora. "Why" Lorelei asked. "Cause of Madeline and Louise" Aurora said.

"I thought you were friends with them" Lorelei said. "I tolerate them mom it's fine okay I'll be at Tristian's, or I'll stay at Luke's" Aurora said.

"Are you sure" Lorelei asked. "Yeah, positive go" Aurora said and gave her a quick hug before leaving.
