"Paris do you think I would joke about something like this?"
"But they were perfect examples of opposites attract."
"It doesn't matter Paris, he's gone and Rory's is going to be heartbroken."
Lorelai and Paris were trying to sell Grad. Night tickets, failing but they figured people would start buying after they finish signing yearbooks. Since Lorelai was still ticked about Jess just leaving Rory she needed to talk to somebody, and since Paris was just sitting there and Lorelai being herself just started talking.
"Why did his uncle kick him out?"
"They had a deal Jess had to graduate to stay with him, and since that isn't happening then Luke told him he had to go to summer school, and Jess refused to go so he got kicked out. Though I'm sure if he would have waited just day and gave Luke time to cool off then they would have worked out everything, but no he just had to leave." Lorelai took a drink of her coffee that she had successfully kept handy all day incase she had to confront Rory about the Jess thing.
"What about her prom plans."
"Paris that was the last thing I expected to come out of your mind. I was expecting a detailed list of reasons why Jess should try to graduate or get his GED. Or why Rory should dump his sorry arse for being stupid enough to put work before school."
"But Rory was planning to go to Star's Hollow Prom since before she transferred schools, and even more since, so she could spend on of the most important nights of her life with her best friend. Is she going to try to find another date." You could see the wheels turning in Paris head, planning a way to help Rory, like Rory had helped her.
"Paris Rory doesn't even know everything yet. She knows little bits, and probably suspects something, but nothing defiant yet."
"But if we start planning now, since WE know already, then she won't have to worry about later when she is all depressed about Jess leaving her. Oh my I can't believe he just left her."
"Paris stay calm, turn back into Paris, and finish you thoughts." Paris looked at her funny while returning to her serious self.
"Ok we will find her a date, but for which prom? Star's Hollow might not be good with the whole Dean and Jess thing, while Lane will be there, she will be with that boyfriend of hers. And Chilton's will be elegant, but she would be with her classmates and though Madeline and Louise aren't much when they aren't hanging all over their boy of the night they will make the night memorable. Or she and the date we find her can double with Jamie and me. Or..." Paris was being her usual self while in a rant of planning.
"Paris breath, I like your train of thoughts, for once, and I think that the Chilton prom would be best, and probably easier to find her a date since they did elect her students vice president. Can you think of anyone who would be willing to take a girl that could be depressed, and would rather be sitting in the corner reading a book, and make her have some fun at her senior prom."
"I know the perfect match." Paris said in her dead-serious-you-can't-argue-with-me-I'm-right-so-deal voice of hers.
