"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT?" Rory asked as both her and Rosemary walked the long winding hallways of Chilton, on the way to chemistry class.
Rosemary shrugged. She had planned to just go home and sleep for twenty hours straight but she had a feeling that wasn't going to be able to happen anymore.
"Wanna come over to my house?" Rory asked.
Rosemary took a second to consider her options. She could either go home, sleep, and get a head start on her homework. Or she could go home with Rory, sleep in Rory's bed, and get all of her homework done with Rory.
"Sure. I'll call my grandma after class to make sure she's okay with it. But i'm sure she'll say yes."
Rory nodded happily. She was super excited for tonight. She was going to order food, finish her homework and most importantly, do her own laundry.
Rosemary had gotten a ninety eight on her exam, much to Paris's frustration. "I need to come over tonight to study." She insisted on inviting herself over to Rosemary's house. Any other day there was no way in hell Rosemary would say no to her best friend but she had already told Rory she could come over to her house that night.
"I'm sorry Paris, I have plans tonight but I can't." Paris groaned. Rosemary was her first option in any situation. Luis and Madiline had dates that they wouldn't cancel for her. That just left Rory.
Rosemary watched with a pitying frown as Paris approached Rory. She knew how this was going to go. Paris would ask Rory to study and Rory would tell her no because of her busy laundry plans. By the look on Paris's face as she walked back to her and Rosemary's table she could tell she was right.
Paris sighed as she lent her head on Rosemary's arms that she was using to keep her head up. "It's okay I promise." She tried to console her friend but it just ended with another heavy sigh.

Rosemary sighed in content as she finally had time to shut her heavy eyes as she was fully stretched out comfortably on the Gilmore girls couch. Rory was doing laundry and she knew how tired Rosemary was so she left her alone while she slept. Or at least she tried to.
It wasn't Rory who woke her up. It was a banging on the Gilmore girls front door. "It's probably Dean, he wasn't really happy I was ditching him tonight for you and laundry."
Rosemary rolled her eyes as she stood up to answer the door. She hoped she wouldn't have to come face to face with Dean. She was having such a great week and that would just ruin it. But it wasn't dean.
"Oh thank God. Hi Paris, what are you doing here?" Rosemary asked the stressed out blonde on Rory's porch. Rory herself stood up quickly. Having no idea why the blonde was at her house.
Oh good you're here too. I tried to stay at home and study by myself, but I couldn't. I don't know what any of this means. I can hardly read my own handwriting, what does this say? The person who wrote this should be dressed in a clown suit, stuffing body's under their porch." Paris invited herself in, walking straight past Rosemary after addressing her.
"You're both in your pajamas." Paris acknowledged immediately. "I know." Rory said, not finding a problem with it.
"This is the big night you had planned? I mean the only thing that makes this a big night is you stealing my best friend when I needed her to study with."
"You're doing laundry." She made another observation. Rory nodded. "Yes."
"You're both doing laundry in your pajamas." Paris raised her voice. "Um actually, I was trying to sleep on the couch while she did laundry in her pajamas." Rosemary butted into the conversation before it escalated.
