above is what I picture her wearing to dinner :) ^

RORY's POV

My grandmother hands me a drink and makes a toast,

"a toast, to Rory entering Chilton, and an exciting new phase in her life!" she exclaims

"here, here" says my grandfather

"Well lets sit everyone!" she ushers us onto the sofa's

"Oh, did I mention that we have two more guests coming by tonight, and possibly the next few dinners?" Grandmother says

"oh no." My mother mutters, and I look at her questioningly

" Your aunt Rachelle, Rory! Do you remember her? I think she might bring her boyfriend Josh Chanler tonight as well! Did you know she's the creative designer of Corpo magazine! I bet you read those things right? You know, she's the youngest ever! I think you'll see yourself in her, she graduated from Yale!" My Grandmother starts rambling on about the famous Nina.

My mom doesn't usually talk about her, it seems to be a touchy subject, but I heard they were close, even with a 6 year age gap, until I came along, obviously. I vaguely remember seeing her. She would always just stare at me looking disgusted when I was younger, but my mom said its because she has a phobia for children, but I think that was just a cover up for her hating me, for ruining her bond with her sister...

As if on cue, the doorbell rings

"Oh wonderful, that must be them!" my grandmother leaps out of her chair and almost runs to the door.

I sit and wait, anxious to see her, and her boyfriend. I wonder what he's like.

"Rachelle, oh and Josh how lovely to see you! Come in, come in!" I hear my grandmother say

"Emily thank you so much for inviting me here for dinner I feel so honored to meet Rachelle's sister and... daughter? right? " I think that's the boyfriend Josh. Makes me feel great that he didn't even know if I was a daughter. He has a husky, manly voice, I wonder if he's cute!

"Yes! You'll love her! come to the living room! Meet the clan! Richard! look who's here!"She basically yells

As I hear footsteps I feel myself correct my posture, my mom and my grandfather stand up, so I take that as a sign that I should too.

Thats when I see her... The most gorgeous looking woman I've ever seen! She's wearing a tight fitted royal blue dress, making me feel a little self- conscious with my simple blue sweater and skirt. She looks so unapproachable, so glamorous, I can't believe I'm related to her!

And then I see the guy... I feel my jaw crack onto the floor, probably leaving a dent. He looks like a model from one of those cool beach stores, without all the blondness and sunburn. I heard at school once how Rachelle Gilmore and Josh Chanler were perfect for each other, and now I see why. They compliment each other so well, they look like perfect puzzle pieces stuck together, I wonder if their personalities are as perfect as their looks are...

RACHELLES POV

I was able to drag Josh here.

The whole drive here being absolutely silent, except for at the exit of the vehicle, where i mentioned Rory? I think thats what its name was. But I was so nervous to see my sister again. The last time I had seen her was when I was 18, just going into Yale. We didn't have the best conversation. I had spent the whole night trying not to puke having to look at the adolescent, and apparently me keeping my composure wasn't good enough for my older sister, so she dragged me into the kitchen and spent an entirety of 20 minutes yelling about how perfect I had to be, and how I didn't have any respect for her minature being. Thanks for the compliment, but I've known how amazing I was since I was about 6 years old. Thank you very much.

And now here I am, dreading the sight of my older sister, and her apparently 'grown' school girl.

Josh looks at me, and winks before grabbing my face and kissing me, probably for the first time in 3 weeks. It wasn't as great as I thought it would be, I think it used to be better. But it made me feel a little calmer.

My mother opens the door and lets us in, Josh taking the initiative and doing all the talking for me.

We then make our way into the living room, where I see my sister. Well, she looks different. I try to smile at her but I think she see's how fake it was.

"Hey Rachelle" she says timidly. Who knew Lorelei Gilmore could be shy

"HEY SIS!" I say in the most snarky way possible. I don't think I'm that mad at her, I have better things to think about, but I might as well throw her off a little bit. I roll my eyes and scan the room until I see a 15 year old looking girl. Her eyes are very pretty. But who invited her?

Wait, is this Rory?

"Oh my god, is this THE Rory Gilmore???" I ask

"It is indeed" says lor

"Wow..." I turn to Lorelei, " I didn't know they grew so fast!"

"Me neither, but I guess the beans really did work!" Lor says sarcastically

" Hi nice to meet you! I'm Josh, Nina's boyfriend" He introduces himself, his hand reaching out to shake Rory's and his other hand resting on the small of my back.

"Let's all sit now, what would you two like to drink?" My dad says

"I'll have a martini, and Josh will have..." I look over at him"... scotch?" I say more affirmatively when he nods his head at me.

"Well isn't this wonderful!" My mom says, but its followed with silence

My father breaks the silence

"so josh, how is the business?"

They start rambling on about stocks or insurance i don't know. I zone out until I hear Lorelei mention pie? Well this should be entertaining.

"It was a joke"

"ahhh..."

silence.

Next was Rory, "so aunt Rachelle, I hear you work at Corpo?" She asks shyly

"mhmm, do you read it? The new issue is probably my favorite, I could get you a copy if you would like!" I say

"Oh thats okay, I don't really have time to look through magazines"

umm okay? "oh, well then I guess you don't need it?" I say, unsure why she brought it up in the first place now

" ya I guess I don't need any... Oh but My mom reads every single new issue I bet you could give my copy to her!" she says excitedly. I see why she brought it up now

"Oh sure, if you want Lor, you could've just asked, I could get you them for free."

"Oh okay thanks." Lor says


I would have better things to talk about in school...
