Susanna Gilmore is a small-town girl, and she loves everything about it. Now, she and her sister are going from a public school to an elite private school. Despite feeling like she doesn't belong, she determined to make it.
"This, boys and girls, is the story of true love: a beautiful girl from one county, a handsome boy from another. They meet and they fall in love. Separated by distance and by parents who did not approve of the union, the young couple dreamed of a day that they could be together. They wrote each other beautiful letters, letters of longing and passion, letters full of promises, and plans for the future. Soon the separation proved too much for either one of them to bear. So, one night, cold and black with no light to guide them, they both snuck out of their homes and ran away as fast as they could. It was so dark out that they were both soon lost and it seemed as if they would never find each other. Finally, the girl dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her lovely face. 'Oh, my love, where are you? How will I find you?' Suddenly, a band of stars appeared in the sky. These stars shone so brightly they lit up the entire countryside. The girl jumped to her feet and followed the path of the stars until finally, she found herself standing right where the town gazebo is today. And there waiting for her was her one true love, who had also been led here by the blanket of friendly stars." Anna was sitting with the children at Patty's dance studio to listen to the romance story. "And that, my friends, is the story of how Stars Hollow came to be, and why we celebrate that fateful night every year at about this time. Now, we still have a little time left in our story hour. Who wants to hear about the time I danced in a cage for Tito Puente?" Miss Patty asked.
"Me!" Anna raises her hand along with the children.
"It was the summer of 66....." She began.

Lorelai is sitting at the kitchen table reading a box of Stroganoff Hamburger Helper. Anna was cooking the hamburger. "Oh no, she didn't talk you into letting her help again, did she?" Rory walks into the kitchen.
"She's just going to hand me things and stir at some point." Anna looks over her shoulder to tell her.
"You know most kids don't stop their moms from cooking." Lorelai looks up from the box.
"Most moms don't need a fire extinguisher." Rory shot back.
"Funny, funny girl, I want to cook like on the Food Channel. I want to sauté things and chop things and do the BAM, and I want to arrange things on a plate so they look like a pretty little hat. I want to be the Iron Chef!" She pretended to cook and plate.
"Fine, I'll help." Rory gives in.
"Now, if I had only bought some hamburgers." Her mother hummed.
"You didn't buy hamburgers?" She looks from her sister to her mother in surprise.
"Yes, I bought hamburgers. Anna is cooking it right now. I just like saying things like that so you look at me like I'm crazy." She got up to open the fridge to grab a drink.
"Rory, can you get me a pot and boil water?" Anna needed the boiling water for the noodles.
"Sure thing," She opens the cabinet to grab the one big pot they had. "So, tell me, why the sudden need to be domestic?" She asked her mother.
