Rich Hall, Yale [afternoon/evening]

[auroryborealis]

The day had started at 4:03 AM, when her mother had called to proclaim a gleeful "Happy birthday!" over speaker phone before they both went back to sleep

Oh, look, a ringing phone!

[auroryborealis]

How exciting! Rory checked the caller ID, and grinned.

"Helloooooooooooooooo."

[tatooine_doofus]

"It's your second favorite Skywalker," Luke teased. "Happy birthday!"

[auroryborealis]

"I do not rank my Skywalkers," Rory told him very solemnly. "Hi! Thank you!"

[swerval_zero]

Rory's phone? Totally ringing.

[auroryborealis]

Rory checked the caller ID and grinned. "Hi!"

[swerval_zero]

"Hihi!" said Zero. "Hoppy Birfday! ...wait. That's not right."

[auroryborealis]

"Something like that," Rory laughed. "How've you been?"

Evening--after all the calls and such

[sith_happened]

Anakin, looking windblown, juggled two small packages and a slightly larger one, made his way to Rory's door and knocked with his forehead.

Rory hurried and opened the door. "Hi! Let me help."

"Who says they're for you?" Anakin teased, tilted his head to kiss her.

Re: Evening--after all the calls and such

[auroryborealis]

"The calendar," she said, going on her toes to kiss him.

[chasingangela]

Angela doesn't call, but there's a card -- an aqctual paper one -- in Rory's mailbox.

At some point during the evening, a smartly-attired cadet checked the slip of paper in his hand, then rapped precisely on the door.

In his hands were a box and a neatly folded (if damp) black umbrella.

[auroryborealis]

Rory peered through the peephole, then opened the door. "Hi?"

[carter_i_am]

He saluted with precision, not at all unhappy to find a pretty girl on the other side of the door. "Miss Rory Gilmore, ma'am?"

[auroryborealis]

"That's me. I didn't do anything," she said, looking a little nervous.
