Chapter Three: The Lorelai's First Day at Chilton

The three Gilmore ladies were relaxing on their front porch the night before their first day at Chilton. Tori was sitting in front of her twin getting her nails painted while their mother was working on Rory's toes.

Rory took a small break from painting to squirts some whipped cream into her mouth.

"That's nice." Lorelai teased her eldest.

Rory grinned, "Thank you." She mumbled.

"Don't move, please." Their mother requested when Rory began to shift.

"So, why are you insisting on doing this?" Rory asked their mother was she moved on to Tori's other hand.

Lorelai shrugged, "Well, because you two are starting private school tomorrow."

"Yeah mom," Tori laughed and grinned, "but she's going to be wearing shoes. Nobody's gonna see her feet."

"Don't laugh missy, you're next." Their mother smirked, "and anyway, everybody knows that private school girls are bad, and bad girls always wear red nail polish."

"There!" Rory exclaimed and screwed the cap back on the pearly pink polish, "All done, Tor."

Tori pulled her hand and started blowing on her nails, "Thanks, sis."

There was a small lull in the conversation.

"Are you two nervous?" Lorelai questioned, breaking the silence.

"About what?" Tori asked, looking up from her nails.

"About starting Chilton."

"Well, I wasn't until I heard about all those bad girls." Rory joked causing them all to snicker.

"What do I have to be nervous about?" Tori smirked confidently at her mother, "I'm a Gilmore. By the end of the year I'll have completed my army, taken over the school, and have blackmail material on all the girls that wrong me."

Lorelai grinned brightly and playfully smacked her knee, "That's my girls!" while Rory shook her head in mock disappointment.

They were all silent again until Lane came running up waving a CD in the air, "Guys, guys! New CD - XTC, Apple Venus Volume 2."

Lorelai jumped up and squealed, "Oh, woo, nails done!" and began following Lane inside.

"But you only finished half my toes!" Rory called to her mother, exasperated.

"Who cares? You're gonna be wearing shoes anyway!" Lorelai yelled back as she entered the house.

Tori chuckled at their scatterbrained mother and moved to take her previous seat, "I'll finish them for you, Ror."

Rory smiled at her twin, "Thanks." She was quiet for a moment before asking, "Are you nervous?"

Tori shrugged as she continued working on her sister's toes, "A little, but my excitement outweighs it."

Rory nodded, "Me too."

Tori took a moment to look up at her sister and the two shared an enthusiastic smile.

The next morning Tori woke up an hour earlier that her sister so she could make herself look presentable, she was starting at a new school and she had to make sure she looked amazing for her first day. By the time Rory woke up she had already showered and fixed her hair and makeup.

Tori slipped her uniform on and made her way into the kitchen to get a pop tart while Rory got ready.

Her twin walked into the kitchen not long after and grabbed her own breakfast.
