"This town meeting will come to order" Miss Patty said hitting the gavel. "No one is listening to me" Taylor said. "Oh, Taylor calm down" Miss Patty said.

"I can't calm down I'm being persecuted" Taylor said. "I promise that we hear you" Miss Patty said.

"We've been hearing you for 20 minutes" Andrew said standing up.

"Well excuse me Andrew but some of us have businesses to run that don't involve peddling drug paraphernalia to kids" Taylor said. "It was a lava lamp Taylor" Andrew said.

"There is no use for a lava lamp unless you're on drugs" Taylor said. "Oh, for crying out loud" Andrew said and sat down.

"Now we've already agreed to look into your accusations" Miss Patty said stating the movie while Lorelei sat next to Aurora who was sat next to Rory.

"What'd I miss" Lorelei asked handing Rory and Aurora their drink.

"Taylor Dosey wants the no parking zone in front of his store removed he says his customers are being unfairly ticketed" Rory said.

"No, it's just because he wants to park there all day" Lorelei said. "Genius" Rory said.

"I have been mayor of this fine town for a long time I tend to think of all of you as my children" Harry said.

"I didn't realize I had a new daddy" Aurora said and Lorelei had to hold in a laugh while Rory playfully shoved Aurora.

"Unfortunately, sometimes children have to be disciplined now I'm gonna say something and I'm only gonna say it once we have leash laws people" Harry said. "Daddy's getting angry" Lorelei said.

"Oh no I hope he doesn't ground any of our sisters or brothers" Aurora said. "Rover will not leash himself" Harry said.

"Good point" Rory said. "I would like to now move on to something of even greater importance as you all know this coming Friday is the anniversary of the legendary battle of stars hollow" Harry said and everyone clapped.

"Where's Luke" Lorelei asked. "There" Rory said motioning to him. "Hm I'm surprised he lasted this long" Aurora said.

"Patty will be circulating a sign-up sheet for those of you who would like to participate in the reenactment of Foresaid battle" Harry said. "He's turning red" Rory said.

"The entertainment is about to begin" Aurora said smiling. "Alright it was a Frigid November night some 224 years ago" Harry said.

"He's shifting in his seat" Lorelei said. "He's adjusting the cap" Rory said.

"Tired and hungry 12 proud men took their positions in the town square" Harry said.

"He's fighting the urge; he's fighting the urge" Lorelei said. "In their valued effort" Harry said when Luke stood up interrupting him.

"For god's sake do we have to go through this every dang year" Luke asked. "And he stuck the landing" Aurora said. "Yes" Lorelei said. "And the urge wins by a long shot" Rory said.

"I thought we were here to discuss town issues" Luke said. "This is a town issue" Taylor said.

"Excuse me who's talking" Harry asked. "It's me Harry, Luke, you've known me since I was five years old" Luke said.

"Oh, Luke yes sit down" Harry told Luke. "Now as I was saying 12 heroic men assembled with guns drawn ready to meet their maker" Harry said and when Luke was about to sit back down, he stood up again interrupting Harry.

"What are you talking about" Luke asked. "12 guys stood in a row all night" Luke said. "Waiting for the redcoats" Harry said.

"Who never showed" Luke said. "Now just a" Harry said when Luke interrupted.

"12 guys stood in a row all night waiting for an enemy that never showed they got stood up they should've been wearing prom dresses" Luke said causing Aurora, Lorelei, and Rory to laugh.

"I've had just about enough of this" Taylor said standing up. "Sit down Taylor" Luke said.

"Menace" Taylor said. "Suck up" Luke said. "Five bucks says somebody ends up in a headlock" Lorelei said.

"You're on" Rory said. "Rora you on my team" Lorelei asked. "Of course," Aurora said and Lorelei smiled.

"Have any of you ever considered the fact that you're glorifying a war we fought so we could keep land that we stole" Luke asked.

"If you don't like it here in America, why don't you go stand in line for toilet paper in the U. S. S. R" Harry said. "There is no more U. S. S. R Harry" Luke told him.

"A sense of community is so important isn't it" Lorelei said. "It's what made our country great" Rory said.

"Mom" Rory said as she and Aurora made their way to Lorelei. "Are you listening to that voicemail again" Aurora asked.

"Sorry" Lorelei said. "What are you doing up" Rory asked. "I couldn't sleep" Lorelei said.

"It's freezing in here" Rory said. "Is the window open" Aurora asked going to the window with Rory. "Wait close your eyes and breathe" Lorelei said and Aurora and Rory sighed before doing so.

"I smell snow" Lorelei said. "Ah it's that time of year" Rory said as she and Aurora made their way to Lorelei. "Can't you smell it" Lorelei asked.

"You know it's like dogs and high-pitched noises I think it's something only you can smell" Rory said and sat next to Lorelei.

"You are the only person in the entire world I know can smell snow" Aurora said and sat next to Rory. "I love snow" Lorelei said. "Really we had no idea" Rory said sarcastically.

"Never knew till now" Aurora said sarcastically. "Everything's magical when it snows everything looks pretty the clothes are great coats, scarves, gloves, hats" Lorelei said.

"Thermal underwear, wool socks, earflaps" Rory said. "Do you know the best things in my life have happened when it snowed" Lorelei asked.

"Why yes mom we do" Aurora said. "My best birthday" Lorelei said. "Your first kiss" Rory said.

"Your and Rora's first steps they all happened when it snowed" Lorelei said. "Feet" Rory said adjusting the blanket.

"I feel good tingly" Lorelei said. "I'm pretty sure that's frostbite" Aurora said. "It is" Rory said.

"You and your sister are mocking your mother the woman who birthed you" Lorelei said. "I'm sorry" Rory said. "Sorry mama" Aurora said.

"During a snowstorm night I add" Lorelei said. "So how soon is it supposed to hit" Rory asked.

"Mm tomorrow definitely tomorrow" Lorelei said. "Okay then tomorrow it is" Rory said.

"What" Lorelei said. "You, me, Rora, donuts, coffee, hot chocolate for Rora, standing out in a snowstorm" Rory said. "At midnight" Lorelei asked.

"At midnight" Rory said. "As long as I have a chocolate donut, I'm good" Aurora said. "I'll make a special trip just for you" Rory told Aurora. "You two are my favorite daughters" Lorelei said.

"So how many times are you gonna listen to that" Rory asked. "Till it stops being sexy" Lorelei said.

"I think I'm gonna be sick" Aurora said. "Stop that's our teacher you're talking about we have to respect him" Rory said motioning to her and Aurora.

"Okay well if it makes you feel any better while he's being sexy, he's also being grammatically correct" Lorelei said.

"Better thank you" Rory said. "Sorry I woke you and Rora up" Lorelei said. "It's alright I might be able to fall back asleep" Aurora said.

"It's all fodder for the tell all good night" Rory said and kissed Lorelei's head before heading back to bed. "Night mama" Aurora said and kissed her cheek.

"Good night" Lorelei said, and Aurora turned off the lamp before heading to bed.

Aurora waved bye to Tristian as he drove off when she bumped into Dean. "Oh, Dean hey" Aurora said once she looked up. "Sorry" Aurora said, and Dean waved her off.

"It's cool" Dean told her. "Was that a friend of yours" Dean asked.

"Yeah, Tristian he goes to Chilton too, so he picks me up and drops me off we offered Rory a ride, but I think she likes bumping into you when she takes the bus" Aurora said and Dean smiled.

"So, Dean listen I never really got a chance to tell you this" Aurora said and Dean looked at her.

"Tell me what" Dean asked. "Just so you know if you hurt my twin, I will personally dump your body into the river" Aurora said threateningly.

"And I have a few friends that would gladly help me dispose of your body" Aurora said. "Got it" Dean said.

"Glad we understand each other well I should go but nice seeing you" Aurora said and rushed off.

>>>

After Aurora managed to catch up with Lane and Rory. Lane filled her in on what they were talking about.

"I mean I sat next to him in practice for months and then one day I look over and, and it's Rich, Rich Bloominfeld" Lane said.

"Where is my chemistry book I had it at your house yesterday didn't I" Rory asked.

"Rory focus please" Lane said. "I'm sorry I just can't find my book" Rory said.

"Rory, we can find it later okay I'll help you look" Aurora said. "Hey babe, Sargent pepper, and my little darling" Lorelei said coming over.

"Mom, do you know where my" Rory started to ask when Lorelei interrupted. "Big scary chemistry book is behind the desk" Lorelei said.

"Oh, thank god" Rory said leaving. "Wow" Lorelei said. "Yeah" Lane said when Rory came back. "So is Sookie in the kitchen" Rory asked. "And there she'll stay" Lorelei said.

"Did she make some cake" Aurora asked. "She's already working on it" Lorelei said walking away. "Okay so where were we" Rory asked Lane. "I just met my soulmate" Lane said.

"Right Rich Bloominfeld" Rory said. "Does he still wear the Star Trek shirt" Rory asked.

"Star Trek does anyone in your school have my kind of taste" Aurora asked.

>>>

"Hey Sookie" Rory said once she, Lane, and Aurora walked into the kitchen.

"Hey kitty cats, cinnamon buns are over there" Sookie said motioning to where the cinnamon buns were. "Aurora your cake is in the fridge" Sookie said and Aurora rushed to the fridge.

"Do you have any of those rockin road cookies that you made yesterday" Rory asked.

"I can scrounge some up" Sookie said as Aurora started eating her cake out of the container making her way to Rory and Lane.

"Lane, you need a bag" Sookie asked. "No thank you" Lane said. "Are you staring" Sookie asked the man. "I'm staring" he said. "Thank you" Sookie said.

"So anyhow Rich has this amazing hair" Lane said. "Really" Rory said. "How amazing" Aurora asked.

"Oh my god it's so perfect it's thick but it's not too thick and it's got really good natural wave, so he probably uses way less product than most guys" Lane said.

"Always a plus" Rory said. "Hey what time is it" Rory asked. "I don't know" Lane said.

"Do you have to be somewhere" Aurora asked. "I have to get to the bus stop Dean's meeting me there" Rory said.

"But I'm trying to talk to you about this" Lane said. "I know we'll talk on the way" Rory said.

"Here you go" Sookie said giving Rory the cookies. "Thank you, Sookie," Rory said and Lorelei walked in.

"Hey sweets I have a locksmith coming to the house today like 5 ish I don't know how long it'll take so will you and Rora tell grandma and grandpa that I'm gonna be late and that I'm having Satan's baby you pick the order" Lorelei said.

"We'll relay the time message but we're leaving the rest up to you" Aurora said. "What is this" Lorelei asked seeing the cookies Rory had.

"You hate rocky road cookies" Lorelei said. "I do not" Rory said. "Oh, I'm sorry that must be Rora's other twin Shmory" Lorelei said. "We're leaving now" Rory said.

"Bye see you at grandma and grandpa's" Aurora said. "Wait a minute" Lorelei said stopping Rory from leaving.

"I know who likes rocky road cookies" Lorelei said. "Who" Sookie asked.

"Dean they're for Dean" Lorelei said. "She's bringing baked goods to a boy wow serious" Sookie said. "Here Dean these cookies are for you cause you're keen" Lorelei said. "Stop" Rory said.

"Rory's in love" Sookie said. "Love, love, love Dean, Dean, Dean" Lorelei said.

"Love and the Dean and the cookies the love and the Dean and the cookie" Sookie said singing with Lorelei and Rory and Lane left.

"Okay she's gone now" Aurora said. "Rora's Right we can stop now" Lorelei said.

"But it's fun" Sookie said. "You're on your own" Lorelei said leaving with Aurora who threw her container away and washed her form before putting it away.

"Hey grandma" Rory said walking in. "Rory's here" Emily said. "Where's your sister" Emily asked and Aurora walked in.

"Hey, I made it barely" Aurora said. "Didn't you hear me hollering for you" Aurora asked Rory.

"That was you" Rory asked. "Who else would say hey womb mate" Aurora asked. "Put Rory on for a sec" Lorelei told Emily.

"It's your mother" Emily told Rory handing her the phone.

"Tell mom hello for me I'll be in the living room getting a head start on my homework" Aurora said leaving.

>>>

"Well, I just don't understand why you waited so late to call" Emily said on the phone while Rory and Aurora did their homework. "Are you sure" Emily asked.

"Fine alright, yes, goodbye" Emily said and hung up. "Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do now" Emily said.

"What's the problem Emily" Richard asked. "The problem is that apparently Florence cannot get here because of the storm" Emily said. "Florence" Richard asked.

"Our cook" Emily said. "Oh well we'll just have to go out then" Richard said.

"Oh, please Richard, pay attention we can't go out it's miserable out there" Emily said. "We'll figure something out then" Richard said.

"What, what will we figure out" Emily asked. "Well, I don't know" Richard said. "I hate the dang snow" Emily said. "Emily calm down" Richard said.

"This is a serious problem these Friday dinners are the only proper food those children eat all week" Emily said.

"Rory, Aurora, are you in any way malnourished or in need of some international relief organization to recruit a celebrity to raise money on your account" Richard asked getting Aurora and Rory's attention.

"I'm good" Rory said. "Me too" Aurora added. "They're good Emily" Richard said, and Rory and Aurora went back to their homework.

"Your sense of humor rears its ugly head at the oddest of times Richard" Emily said.

"Emily I'm not the mastermind behind some great scheme to spoil your dinner plans and I don't care to be treated as such" Richard said.

"Maybe we should go in there" Aurora told Rory. "Yeah, come on" Rory said and Aurora followed Rory to Richard and Emily. "So, you're fine with having no dinner tonight is that it" Emily asked.

"I certainly am not" Richard said. "Hey how about Rora and I check the fridge I'm sure there's something in there we could whip up" Rory said.

"Whip up" Emily asked. "Come on we'll show you" Aurora said.

"It'll be fun I promise" Rory said. "Well come on Mr. we'll figure it out" Emily said and Emily and Richard followed Rory and Aurora to the kitchen.

"Nothing" Emily said once Aurora opened the fridge. "Not a blessed thing" Richard said.

"Hey there's frozen pizza" Rory said. "How in the world did that get there" Emily asked. "You could've bought it and forgot about it" Aurora said.

"I have never bought frozen pizza it must belong to Anna" Emily said. "The maid" Richard said.

"Yes" Emily said. "Ah got one" Richard said. Aurora took out the pizza and Rory filled her while Emily closed the fridge.

"What are you doing" Emily asked. "We're going to make it" Aurora said. "Oh, Aurora you're not serious" Emily said. "That hardly looks like dinner" Richard said.

"I agree, girls that's good you eat at a carnival or in a Turkish prison" Emily said. "I promise you're gonna love it" Rory said.

"But" Emily said when Rory interrupted. "Listen just leave it up to me and Rora you guys go back to the living room, and we'll call you when it's ready" Rory said and Richard and Emily were about to leave when Rory stopped them.

"Hey grandma" Rory said and Emily faced her. "Yes" Emily said.

"What are the odds of you knowing where a cookie sheet would be" Rory asked. "I'd say very slim" Richard said.

"No worries we'll find it" Aurora said. "Very slim thank you for that" Emily said leaving with Richard.

"Oh, this is getting ridiculous Aaron I will not continue to have these conversations with a child yes he is a child well when he's worked 30 years at the company that's when he's not a child" Richard said as Aurora took a seat at the table while Rory looked out the window.

"Until then I don't care what his opinions are" Richard said.

"Aaron, are you listening to me" Richard asked. "Good because I'm hanging up on you now and I wanted to make sure you heard it" Richard said as Rory left the room.

"What a moron" Richard said and Aurora's phone rang. "Oh, sorry it's Tristian he's probably checking in" Aurora said and left the room.

>>>

"Hey" Aurora said once she answered the phone. "Hey, are you okay the storm is pretty bad" Tristian said. "Yeah, I'm at my grandparents for the night" Aurora said.

"But how did I know you'd call to check up on me" Aurora asked. "Because you know me that well" Tristian said and Aurora smiled.

"That I do" Aurora said. "Are you all okay" Aurora asked. "Yeah, everyone is okay" Tristian said. "Good I don't want to lose another best friend" Aurora said.

"No worries your stuck with me for a long time" Tristian said. "I'm okay with that even when you drove me insane" Aurora said laughing.

"Anyone ever, tell you, you have a contagious laugh" Tristian asked.

"Only you" Aurora said and she saw Rory walk in. "Pizza's ready" Rory said.

"Okay I'll be right there" Aurora said and Rory left. "Hey, I gotta go but talk to you later okay" Aurora said. "Yeah, sure stay safe" Tristian said.

"Will do" Aurora said and hung up before heading downstairs.

"You want to eat it before it gets cold" Rory said seeing Emily and Richard haven't taken a bite while Aurora was already on her second piece.

"How is it grandma" Aurora asked once Emily took a bite. "Not cold" Emily said. "Ooh it's quite tasty" Richard said after taking a bite. "Emily we should have this more often" Richard said.

"What" Emily said. "Perhaps instead of that horrible salmon that keeps showing up" Richard said. "That salmon is a fine delicacy" Emily said.

"Hm potato po tah to" Richard said. "Try it again grandma it's probably cooled now" Rory said.

"No thank you I'm fine" Emily said. "You know what it's really good if you are some extra Parmesan to it" Rory said getting up going to Emily. "She's right it's the best" Aurora said.

"This is mom's special trick" Rory said putting some parmesan on Emily's pizza.

"Frozen pizza is a stable at our house mom's, become a major doctoring genius she'll put anything on it" Rory said.

"Oh, one time Sookie came and brought us some foie gras and mom stuck it on a pizza" Aurora said. "How was it" Emily asked. "Pretty good once we took the foie gras off" Rory said.

"Okay that's good" Rory said once she finished putting parmesan on Emily's pizza and sat back down.

"Try it please" Rory said. "Hey grandma if you want to get really crazy you can pick it up" Aurora said.

"Well alright here goes nothing" Emily said and picked up the pizza and took a bite.

"Mm that's wonderful" Emily said once she put the pizza down. "See" Rory said. "Aurora pass me that cheese" Emily said. "Here you go" Aurora said passing the cheese to Emily.

"Trust me it makes all the difference" Emily said going to Richard with the cheese. "I'll be right back" Rory said and left the room.

"I found this in mom's room" Rory said once she came back. "What's that" Emily asked. "Pictures" Rory said showing Aurora, Emily, and Richard.

"Oh, my goodness I haven't seen that in years" Emily said. "Oh my gosh" Richard said and Aurora got up and stood beside Richard. Emily sat down and opened the book.

"Ah look at this" Emily said pointing to a picture. "That's one fluffy white dress" Aurora said. "Yes, there were 12 petticoats underneath it we got it in London remember Richard" Emily said.

"She looks like a little princess" Rory said. "Yes, well if memory serves, I believe about two minutes after that picture was taken her highness dumped a glass of grape juice all over it" Emily said. "Look Emily it's Hopey" Richard said.

"Whose Hopey" Aurora asked. "My younger sister" Emily said. "Has she ever been here when Rora and I was here" Rory asked.

"I don't remember her" Rory said. "Yeah, me neither" Aurora said. "She lives in Paris our great expatriate" Richard said.

"Oh, my Hopey look at you I haven't seen her in such a long time" Emily said.

"Maybe we should take a trip this year" Richard said. "That would be nice" Emily said. "Maybe Rory and Aurora could go with us" Richard said.

"We'll start packing tomorrow" Rory said. "Oh, is that you guys" Aurora asked motioning to the picture. "Yes, it is" Richard said. "That is our wedding picture" Emily said.

"That's an amazing dress" Rory said. "It should have been my mother had three seamstresses working round the clock making it" Emily said.

"You still have it" Aurora asked. "It's upstairs packed away somewhere" Emily said.

"I'll save it for you or Rory if you like" Emily said to Aurora. "Oh, Emily, Rory and Aurora's too young to be thinking about things like that" Richard said.

"Oh, Richard please every young girl thinks about her wedding I know I did I knew from the time I was 12 that I wanted lilies and orchids with a silver bow wrapped around them for my bouquet" Emily said.

"You also knew that you wanted to marry Errol Flynn" Richard said. "Really grandma had a thing for the pirate guy" Rory asked.

"I did not have a thing for the pirate guy" Emily said. "She was mad about him she even tried to get me to grow one of those little mustaches" Richard said.

"Oh, please tell me you're kidding" Aurora said smiling. "Richard stop" Emily said. "She wanted me to swing from a chandelier" Richard said.

"Oh, now you're just being silly" Emily said. "Luckily I was on the fencing team at college, or I would have married Lucinda Lester by now" Richard said.

"Actually, Lucinda Lester looked a lot like Errol Flynn" Emily said and Richard laughed.

"I should have married her, but it would have been very modern of me" Emily said. "Wow mom looks really beautiful here" Rory said.

"Yeah, she looks like a princess" Aurora said. "Yes, she does" Emily said. "What was the occasion" Rory asked. "Who would like some coffee" Richard asked.

"And Aurora would you like some hot chocolates" Richard asked Aurora. "That was her debutante gown for her coming out party" Emily said.

"Mom had a coming out party" Rory asked. "No, she didn't" Richard said. "Oh" Rory said.

"Well, it just got awkward" Aurora said. "Yes, well things happen don't they" Emily said and closed the book.

"If you'll excuse me, I have some business calls to make" Richard said and left the room. "I'll go get that coffee and Aurora's hot chocolate" Emily said and left the room.

Rory sat down and Aurora sat next to her while they looked through the photo book.

Rory and Aurora got out of the limo and headed to the door while the limo drove off. They were about to go inside but stopped when they saw Lorelei in front of them.

"Hi" Lorelei said. "Hey" Aurora said. "Hi, what's up" Rory asked. "Nothing what's up with you" Lorelei asked back.

"Other than standing out here in the cold" Aurora asked. "You have something to tell us" Rory said.

"Wow you're so smart" Lorelei told Rory. "Right, okay, here we go I've got a boy in the house" Lorelei said. "What" Aurora said.

"Nothing happened I swear he slept the whole night on the couch, and you know him both you and Rora do" Lorelei said. "We do" Rory asked.

"And you like him I don't know if that's relevant I just thought that I would throw that in there" Lorelei said.

"Can we discuss this inside" Aurora asked as she made her way inside with Rory and they saw Max on the couch. "It's Mr. Medina" Rory said. "I know" Lorelei said.

"Our English teacher is on our couch" Aurora said.

"It was the snow you both know how I get it's like catnip I was walking he was there his car was broken we had fiesta burgers it was the snow" Lorelei said.

"Rory, Rora say something" Lorelei said. "I'm fine with it but good luck with Rory I'll be in my room" Aurora said and went upstairs to her room.
