In 1984, in the hospital, two twin girls were born. One would grow up to go to private schools and be given everything she ever wanted. The other would end up bouncing from foster home to foster home until she leaves at 16 and finds her way to a sma...
Parker and Luke looked at each other in disbelief as they walked into the ballroom. Then they both looked back and took in their surroundings. After a moment of gaping, they hear someone calling their names.
"Parker! Luke!" Lorelai calls, as she walks over to them. Parker grabs Luke's arm, still not fully comfortable with Lorelai.
"Hey guys! Luke, I was just wondering if I could borrow Parker for a moment, I wasn't sure if she wanted to meet her father before the ball or not" She then looks to Parker "He's here, if you'd like to meet him."
Parker's nervous, but she does want to meet him. "Sure, thanks." She says and joins Lorelai as she walks away from Luke, but then darts back really fast. "Try to enjoy yourself, but when it's time to go you have to go up those stairs out there and meet me." Luke smiles at her gratefully and goes to find somewhere to sit for a while.
Parker rejoins Lorelai, who smiles at her. "I really am very sorry for what I did. And I hope that if you give me a chance, I can make it up to you" She says.
"I can try, but that's the best I can do." Parker says. To Parker, this woman was the one who caused all of the heartbreak in her life so far, and it would probably take a while. "And I can't promise that it's going to happen fast, but we'll see I think"
Lorelai smiles at her, understanding. All of a sudden she waves to a man over by the bar. "Christopher!" She says, and he looks over. "Come here!"
The man smiles at her as he walks over. "Hey Lor!" He says once he gets to them. "Who's this?"
"Chris, I'd like you to meet your daughter. Parker." Chris looks at her confused, and then his eyes widen in shock. Then he looks back up at Lorelai.
"Is it her? Is it really her? You better not be playing a trick on me Lor" He says, his voice wavering a little.
"It's her, Chris." Lorelai says. Chris looks back down at her and smiles. "Is it okay if I hug you?" He asks her, and she nods. He envelops her in a very large hug, and they don't let go for a while.
"I always regretted the decision that was made in the hospital. I'm so sorry" He says to her, and he almost looks like he's going to cry. But that's when they hear an announcement, that all Debutantes have to go up and get ready right now, so with a quick wave, Parker walks away, to go get ready, leaving Christopher with Lorelai.
Once she walks upstairs, she sees Rory, helping a girl decide between lipstick shades. She ducks into one of the bathrooms to put on her dress.

Once she walks out of the bathroom, Rory takes one glance at her and gasps. "You look beautiful." Rory says.
"Thanks, but I feel like a pompom" She answers. Rory laughs at that.
"But a very pretty pompom." She says. They both finished getting ready for the presentation, and lined up outside of the door, ready to begin.
Christopher smiles at her as he walks up to Rory, getting ready to present her. Then Luke walks up, seemingly nervous and straightening out his tux.
