THE GILMORE GIRLS

S1 E9 : "The Dance" (Part 2)

The hall was beautiful. You could tell these walls held history as the dark wooden walls carried throughout the place. White flowers placed perfectly in the center of each table, candles illuminating the room, giving off a soft warm tangerine light. The chandlers hanging from the ceiling were grand and the staircase was huge.

"Oh!" I exclaimed as my eyes scanned the two staircases. One on each side of the room, curving slightly as it made its way up to the second story.

"What?" Justin asked curiously, my arm still hook around his. His head angled towards me, so we make eye contact while we talk.

"I have to walk down those stairs looking all regal and grand." I giggled with a smile, thinking back to Sookie. I know I probably sounded crazy, and I could tell as he slightly laughed at my answer.

"Why?" He chucked, his smile never leaving his face.

"Because Sookie told me too." I smiled up at him, giving him little to no explanation for my antics.

"Okay," He laughed again, "Go do your thing, babe." He smiled back before taking my hand and leading me to the bottom of the staircase. I made sure to give him a quick peck on the lips before quickly running up the stairs. It was my way of saying thank you for putting up with me.

Once I reached the top I spun around before elegantly descending down the staircase. I kept a smile on my face, one hand on the rail to make sure I don't trip, and the other pitching some of the fabric of my dress.

About halfway down, I glanced at Justin to see him watching me. His blue eyes held the upmost adoration and his face held one of the biggest smiles I've seen on him in a while. As we made eye contact my heart skipped a beat and I could feel the blush creeping on my face.

A smile similar to his appeared on my face as I started to reach the bottom of the stairs. There he stood with his arm out, ready for me to grab onto him the second I hit the end. I removed my hand from the rail and placed it into his instead before jokingly lifting the skirt of my dress and taking a bow. He chuckled as I took my bow.

"Okay, mission successful." I laughed, "Can we go find Rory and Dean?"

"Yeah, I saw them by the table in the middle." He agreed, wrapping his arm around my waist as he led me through the crowd.

"Hey guys." I greeted once we finally made it up to them.

"Hey." Rory exclaimed, "Did you guys just get here?"

"Probably a couple minutes ago. I walked down the staircase for Sookie." I smiled with my answer. Justin had taken his place behind me, one of his hands rested on my lower stomach as Rory and I chatted.

"No, you didn't!" She laughed, "With everyone watching?"

"Oh, she did alright. Made me wait at the bottom and everything." Justin nodded glancing down at me from behind.

"Rory, Eva, you came." Louise said as she walked up to us from behind Justin and I. "Oh, great dress. Who's it by?" She complimented as she examined Rory's dress.

"Lorelai Gilmore." Rory innocently responded.

"You made it yourself?" Madeline questioned, surprise evident in her voice.

"No, our mom made it for her." I quickly clarified.

"She did, really? Both of your dresses?" Madeline continued. She looked pretty in her red lacey dress. I was surprised she wasn't being escorted by anyone.

"Yeah, both of them." Rory nodded in conformation.

"So, your traveling with bodyguards now?" Louise raised her eyebrows at our dates.
