I was walking with the girls in their stroller past the town center. I'm pushing them past the public phone booth and it starts ringing.

I walk past, thinking nothing of it but realized there was a high chance it would be lane.

"Hello?" I pick up the phone

"It's me." Lane reveals

"Lane, this is flat out stalking."

"Look I don't have much time. I've already used up my phone time, but I had to talk to you. There's a new belle and Sebastian single coming out today. I have to have it." Lane explains

"Okay, well—" I begin

"—No, I mean I have to have it." Lane repeats

"I don't know if I have time to pick it up." I tell her

"What? Tori, do you wanna hear how I used my phone time today? — talking to Amazon.com, trying to get them to overnight it to me in a plain package with a return address referencing something Korean and religious." Lane rambles

"They wouldn't do it, huh?"

"Think they notified the government." Lane states

"Can't you just wait for your grounding to be over?" I ask

"Hey, I am a fanatic audiophile! That comes with responsibilities that a grounding doesn't alter. Now, I have to have this single, you have to figure out how."

"Okay, okay, I'll do my best." I tell her

"Thank you. I have to go. Oh, and hey..."

"What?" I question

"You've got something in your teeth." Lane tells me

"Stop that!" I exclaim and out the phone down.

Once I do, I bend down to look in the reflection from the phone booth to get the food stuck in my teeth.


I couldn't take Mia and Charlie to Rory's debate so Babette had offered to have them.

"Hey, there you are. Where were you?" Mom asks Rory.

We had just entered the hall where the debate would occur.

"Oh, hi." Rory smiles to us.

"I thought we were gonna meet by the vending machines for a little pre debate nondairy snack."

"Yeah, sorry Paris wanted to do a sound check and she found some problems with the acoustics in the room." Rory explains

"The layout on this row of seats is causing a bass problem. We've got to move this whole row over a foot! Just move these people out the way!" Paris shouts before speaking, more like yelling, something in Spanish.

"Better find a seat before she moves them all." Rory jokes

"Have fun." Mom hugs her

"Thanks. Glad you came." Rory turns to Sookie.

"No you're not!" Sookie backfires. "I'm just getting you in the mood!"

"Did you see Christopher anywhere?" I hear mom ask Sookie.

"Um... well... no... no. Hey, what does he look like?" Sookie questions us as she had never seen dad before.

"If you don't know, why are you looking?"

"I'm looking for a guy that looks like a guy that you could be with, only I'm deducting 17 years off his age and I'm adding an all boys private school uniform and a yankees cap." Sookie justifies
