LORELAI, RORY, AND TORI ARE sitting on the patio couch that they have on the front porch painting their nails and eating whip cream out of the bottle. grabbing the can of creamy goodness from her sister, tori squirts the whipped cream in her mouth as well as her sister's who had her mouth wide open waiting for the whipped cream.
"that's nice," their mother says sarcastically looking up from paining tori's toenails. lorelai has already done a french tip style with tori's fingernails.
"thank you," tori says to her mom with a mouth full of whipped cream, "i strive to be the role model for every young girl, and if that means eating whip cream out of the bottle then so be it. i'm willing to make that sacrifice."
"don't move, please," lorelai asks trying not to get the nail polish on tori's skin.
rory looks at her mom, "so, why are you insisting on doing this?" rory has yet to be a victim of their mother's crazy theory, or so that's what rory thinks. victoria thinks that spending this bonding time with lorelai is a good thing. she also thinks that with her nails painted, even if no one can see her feet, it will make her feel more confident. plus having her nails painted is something that she enjoys so why not.
"well, because you two are starting private school tomorrow," lorelai answers her while putting another coat on tori's nail.
rory still doesn't understand their mother's thought process, "yes, but we'll be wearing shoes. nobody's gonna see our feet."
"okay, but everybody knows that private school girls are bad, and bad girls always wear red nail polish." there was a pause in the conversation before lorelai looks up for tori's foot, "are you nervous?"
"about what?" rory asks looking at the bottle of whipped cream.
"about starting chilton."
"well i wasn't until i heard about all those bad girls," rory says while tori and lorelai laugh.
tori looks at her mom and sister, "i'm excited. new school, new classmates, new teachers. i am however sad that i'm leaving stars hallow high, my old classmates, and all of the teachers that i had wrapped around my finger. if i ever missed a night of chemistry homework, mrs. Kuhlman didn't even care! she loved me! i bet if you miss a night of homework at chilton they make you eat lunch in the boiler room!"
"that's not all you're going to miss is it sweetie?" lorelai asks as pushes tori's foot off her lap and starts to work on painting rorys.
"definitely not! i'm going to miss my cheer team, i'm going to miss rose, amanda, the guys brennan, and i'm definitely going to miss going into luke's for lunch during school with the guys."
lane comes running from around the house, "guys, guys! new CD - XTC, apple venus volume 2!"
"Oh, woo, nails are done!" lorelai yells as she gets up and goes running inside.
"but you only finished half my toes!" rory yells.
lorelai yells again as she, lane, and tori run inside, "who cares? you're gonna be wearing shoes anyway!"
