no problem!

~Phoenix~ · 08-24-2009, 12:17 PM

I love that pic where they are looking at pets and Rory reminds her why they don't have pets

**autumn_hope** · 08-24-2009, 12:19 PM

oh man they had a dismal streak concerning animals

~Phoenix~ · 08-24-2009, 12:31 PM

They did

I loved that it was Rory reminding Lorelai and not the other way round

**autumn_hope** · 08-24-2009, 12:39 PM

yeah Lorelai really wanted the dog and Rory was like nooo

~Phoenix~ · 08-24-2009, 12:48 PM

Yes I loved that about their relationship half the time it was like Rory was the parent

**autumn_hope** · 08-25-2009, 06:25 AM

exactly

that's what made them so special

man I would DIE if a parent was caught kissing a teacher at school

~Phoenix~ · 08-25-2009, 12:23 PM

That would just be so embarrasing!

I agree it is what made them so special

**autumn_hope** · 08-25-2009, 05:32 PM

then of course Paris, being Paris, had to let Rory know in front of everyone

~Phoenix~ · 08-26-2009, 09:34 AM

I know!! Even more embarrasment

It did look like the start of the Rory/Paris friendship with them understanding each other a bit better. Although we do have to wait a while till we get to their actual friendship

**autumn_hope** · 08-27-2009, 11:00 AM

yeah it takes them awhile!

but it was a start!

~Phoenix~ · 08-27-2009, 11:34 AM

They were just to alike to see that they could be friends

I love the early days of the Rory/Paris relationship

their high school rivalry was a lot of fun
