New Beginnings

Chapter 2

The three Gilmore girls sit on a couch on the front porch as Victoria paints her sisters toe nails.

"That's nice" Lorelai sarcastically says as Rory sprays a can of whip cream in her mouth. "Thank you" Rory responds with her mouth full of whip cream.

"Don't move, please" Victoria says as her sisters foot slightly moved. "So why are you insisting on doing this?" Rory asks not understanding why her sister kept asking to paint her nails. "Well because we're starting private school tomorrow" Victoria answers.

"Yes but we're going to be wearing shoes. nobody's gonna see our feet" Rory points out.

"Okay, but everybody knows that private school girls are bad and bad girls always wear red nail polish" Lorelai says "are you nervous?" she then asks her daughters. "About what?" Victoria asks.

"About starting Chilton" Lorelai says. "Well I wasn't until I heard about all those bad girls" Rory says. "Guys! Guys! New CD XTC Apple Venus Volume Two!" Lane yells running up to the house.

Victoria and Lorelai both yell out in excitement jumping off the couch and running into the house.

"But you only fished half my toes!" Rory yells out to her sister. "Who cares?! You're gonna be wearing shoes anyway!" Victoria responds.

It's the next morning and the twins walk into their
mothers room surprised to find her still asleep.

"Mom!" Victoria yells. "What? God. Hi." Lorelai says waking up.

"What are you doing?!" Rory yells. "Having a heart attack." Lorelai answers rolling over and putting a pillow over herself. "We thought you were up!" Victoria yells

"It's 7:10" Rory says.

"What?" Lorelai asks. "It's 7:10" Victoria repeats her sister.

"No" Lorelai denies. "It's 7:10" Rory repeats pulling the pillow away from her mother. "Stop it. It's a quarter to six" Lorelai says taking the pillow back.

"No, it's not!" Victoria yells.

"Yes, it is. I set the clock for a quarter to six" Lorelai insists. Rory picks up the clock and shows it to her mother.

"It's 7:10!" Lorelai yells finally getting out of bed. "We can't be late on our first day of school" Victoria says. "Do you know what happens to people where they're late on their first day?" Rory asks her mother.

"It's shorter" Lorelai responds.

"For the rest of the year they're labeled the late girl" Rory says. "Oh! So dramatic. Where's the bathroom?" Lorelai asks still half asleep.

"We have to go!" Victoria says pushing her mother to the bathroom. "What if there's traffic?!" Rory adds. "Mom!" Victoria yells.

"Ugh! I had this all planned. I was gonna get up early. I was gonna get coffee. I was gonna take a shower. I was gonna pick up my clothes from the dry cleaners." Lorelai says from the bathroom but then opens the door.

"Oh my god. My clothes" Lorelai says. "What?!" Rory asks.

"I-I don't have any clean clothes." Lorelai says. "7:15" Victoria says. "All my nice things were dirty" Lorelai says.

"7:16" Rory says.

"Oh my god I was gonna wear my blue suit with the flippy skirt. I look so great in the flippy skirt" Lorelai says. "7:17" both twins simultaneously say.

"Ok you know what time ladies why don't you go downstairs and warm up the car that would be really super thank you" Lorelai says pushing her daughters out of her room. "Just hurry!" Rory says. " This suck. This sucks. This sucks." Lorelai says.
