A/N: Ok..so this chapter is basically just a filler and is in no way affiliated with A Christmas You'll Never Forget. That sequel might come later, but we'll see what my next muse is. This story idea is from a song I heard the other day and I just had to put it on paper. So here is my newest story...

Disclaimer: Status still the same...I own nothing

Students scattered through the halls of Yale trying to avoid the girl that was stopping for no one. The girl that balanced five books on one arm, a coffee in the other hand, and a phone wedged between her shoulder and ear. She was talking enthusiastically to the person on the other line and seemed to be blind to the world around her. The girl was Rory Gilmore and to any one who didn't know her they would think she was a complete spaz. However, to people who knew her this was a normal Rory Gilmore moment.

"I'm serious mom. I'll be fine. Go, enjoy, and don't forget to send me a postcard," Rory assured her mother.

"Are you sure? Because I don't want you crammed in your room the whole time with your nose in a book." Lorelai said to her daughter over the phone as she dragged out her suitcase and looked at her closet full of shoes. Recently Luke had surprised her with a trip to upstate New York to celebrate their back togetherness. It was spring brake and although she appreciated the gesture she was fully ready to turn it down if it meant abandoning her daughter. Rory fully protested saying she would be fine and sarcastically promised at least one keg party with bikers and all.

"Mom! I'm serious you and Luke just got back together. Go and leave your poor daughter to suffer with Proust." Rory tried again while she steered herself toward the pub. It was going to take a lot of determination and coffee to convince her mother.

"Can't you at least go to one party. Hang out with those friends of yours. I hear their party animals," Lorelai protested as she decided what shoes went with her cashmere sweater.

"Please stop worrying about me. I'll be fine. I'm a big girl and I'll see what I can do about the friend thing," Rory smiled as her thoughts momentarily floated to her friends. Her mother had never formally met them, but she sure had heard stories. In the past year or so, Rory had become friends with Logan, Colin, Finn, and Steph. They were crazy bunch that brought out her wild side which usually stayed hidden.

"I just don't want you to spend your Spring Break as a hermit. I'm not saying go full on Girls Gone Wild just let loose a little." Lorelai pleaded while she attempted to shut her luggage by sitting on it.

"It doesn't matter if I have a good time. It's your time for you and Luke to celebrate your reconciliation. So enough about me, in fact I refuse to have this conversation continue if your going to rant about how to properly do shots off someone again. Please the first time around was scarring enough. So let's discuss your trip. What are you guys going to do?" Rory changed the subject as she positioned herself at a table and began to flip through one of her books.

"Well we are going to stay in a little inn and I'm going to see if those fishing skills Luke taught me paid off. Also he is being the amazing boyfriend that he is and actually going horseback riding with me, unlike someone!" Lorelai accused.

"Hey! Unfair shot! I was little and the horse died. You brought me to that horse farm so really it's your fault I'm scarred for life when it comes to horses. If you hadn't brought me there I might have actually rode Cletus." Rory protested as she saw Steph enter the pub. Behind her the three stooges were joking around. They spotted her and began to walk over to the table she was currently sitting at.

"Yes, but isn't it the horses fault, because technically it is the horse that died and rolled over consequently rolling you into the same ditch?" Lorelai volleyed back.

"Mom! You can't blame the dead horse. He's the one who died in the prime of life!" Rory argued as Finn, Colin, Logan, and Steph took a seat at her table.

"Prime of his life? Hah! That thing was half dead when you got on it." Lorelai continued.

"Mom we got off subject again." Rory pointed out not wanting to go over the horse debate again.

"Oh! Sorry. What got us here? Oh yeah! Please at least promise me one party where at least the cops should be called!" Lorelai bargained.

"Mom! I'm not intentionally going to a cop raided party." Rory said incredulously as the others raised an eyebrow at her.

"Ok well hun I gotta finish packing so I'll call you later. And please try to at least find a scandalous book while I'm gone. I don't want the cool kids to beat up your pretty face because you're a nerd." Lorelai teased.

"I'll try. But I'll definitely talk to you later. Have fun with Luke, but no bringing a fish home this time. The last time we couldn't take a bath for a week when you decided to keep Jayne in our tub." Rory complained as Finn stifled a laugh and Stephanie's face turned horror stricken as she thought of no shower.

"No promises. Love ya babe. Party it up!" Lorelai screamed into the phone and Rory held it away so she wouldn't damage her ear drum. This caused the other people at the table to hear and look on curiously.

"Ok. I'll party like its 1999. Love you too. Bye mom." Rory said as she hung up the phone and looked around at the other people at the table.

She had made friends with them after she went to the Life and Death Brigade almost a six months ago. Each had there own weird personality that helped the group attempt to function normally. Steph was the one that kept the boys in line, also managing to spend hundreds in the process. Colin was the voice of reason while still managing to be the party-pooper. Finn was the party animal who made the group notorious for their wild ways. Logan was the unnamed group leader. He had an air about him that made you want to follow him and slap him at the same time.

"Hey guys." Rory greeted. A round of different greetings berated her at once. 'Reporter girl' 'Love' 'Ace' and 'Rory' were all heard from the group.

"What was that phone call about?" Logan asked curious. Out of all the people in the group he had been the one that had taken the most interest in Rory. Not in a loving way or anything. His feelings were completely platonic, or so he kept telling himself. Everyone else could see their connection except for them of course. Sure he thought she was smart, funny, pretty, and witty but that didn't matter. He didn't like her. Not at all. Nope.

"Oh my mom and her boyfriend are going to upstate New York over the break as a celebration of their reunion. She was trying to convince me to get out and have fun instead of spending hours locked in my room with Steinbeck," Rory answered.

"You're not doing anything over the break love?" Finn asked astonished. You couldn't just sit at home on a long break from school. You had to party. According to Finn it was a law.

"Nope," Rory affirmed.

"Yes you are." Steph replied bluntly.

"Excuse me? I wasn't aware that I suddenly had plans. Last time I checked I was free as a bird." Rory was confused and a little amused at Steph's forwardness.

"Well you do now. You're coming to the Keys with us. Oh! It'll be so fun. I'll finally be able to have a girlfriend to hang out with. The guys just don't seem to understand that I don't like staring at blondes and talking about which mix of alcohol gives you the worst hangover," Steph said shooting a glare at Finn.

"I don't know Steph…" Rory began only to be interrupted again.

"Love! I think it's an excellent idea. We'd have so much fun. We can play games on the beach and dance at the clubs and crawl into my bed after a long night of partying…" Finn trailed off getting an image in his head.

"Are ya sure?" Rory asked not wanting to impose.

"Yeah. It'll be fun. And don't worry, I'll make sure you don't end up in bed with Finn." Logan assured her. No matter how much Logan denied it the idea of Rory and Finn peeved him a little. It wasn't that he liked her. No that wasn't it. He just wanted to look out for her well being and Finn definitely wasn't in her well being.

"Yeah, You have to come," agreed Colin, "It would be a nice change to have at least one other sane person in the group."

"I'll have to think about it, but I'll definitely consider it." Rory answered not being sure.

"Please please please. We're only going for five days so you won't be stuck with us crazy people for that long," Steph tried to convince her.

"I said…." Rory started only to be cut off.

"Please love you have to come. Ahh! I know," Finn replied as he kneeled down by Rory's chair and belted out "Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane and I don't when I'll be back again!" He didn't stop until Rory finally agreed when she noticed they were beginning to attract attention.

"Ok! I'll go just please stop singing!" Rory agreed.

"Great!" The group cheered as Rory was relieved of Finn's singing voice.

The group stayed and joked around until Rory decided that it was late and she had to study and get work done, especially now that she had plans over the break. She didn't know if she should be excited or dreading going to the Keys with them. Sure she liked them and they were fun, but she also knew that they were party animals. She was more of a hermit who liked to stay at home comparing the Godfather movies and eating her way into oblivion. These were the type of people who stumbled home at five in the morning and woke up in a room they've never seen before. She promised herself to just go with the flow and tried not to overanalyze her decision. She knew that that promise would be out the door the minute she got home and had the necessary equipment for a proper pro con list.

"Ok guys well I think I'm going to head home. It's getting late and I have a class in the morning," Rory said as way of excusing herself.

"I'll walk you," Logan offered. He didn't like the thought of her walking through Yale. It was late and people were drunk. It wasn't that he liked her. No that wasn't it. He just was watching out for her well being.

"You don't have to. Stay, hang out, and make sure Finn knows who he's taking home tonight," Rory joked as she moved to put on her jacket.

"It's ok. I'm headed that way anyway and besides its Colin's night to watch Finn," Logan laughed as he helped her put her jacket on and began to say goodbye to the rest of the group.

"Well okay. If you insist," Rory answered. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. His room was on the other side of the campus and if he was headed to her room at this time of night it probably meant that one of his bedmates had called him up in need of a good lay. She didn't like him or anything. No that wasn't it. She just thought he could do better than that.

"Ok guys we're goin to head out. See ya later." Logan called as they walked away from the group.

"Okay…but don't forget to wear protection," Finn called after too inebriated to realize that Rory was the one Logan was escorting home. If he were semi sober he would never let Logan and Rory be together. The boys all had an unspoken pact to watch after Steph and Rory and not let them mix in with the wrong people. They didn't want to see them hurt and if they went out with someone like they guys they would definitely be hurt.

"Gotta love Finn," Rory remarked in reference to his last comment.

"Yeah well if he knew who you were at the moment and what we were doing was actually what he thought he'd be out here beating the crap out of me," Logan laughed.

"Well lucky for him we wouldn't be doing that," Rory said trying to ignore the little dull ache that formed at the pit of her stomach as she thought of her and Logan as nothing more that friends. But she didn't feel that because she liked him. No that wasn't it. It was because she was single at the moment and just feeling a little lonely.

"Lucky for him," Logan assured and he ignored the slightly more painful jab at his heart as he thought of Rory not being able to even envision them as anything more that friends. It wasn't that he liked her or anything. No that wasn't it. He was just feeling that because he may have had slight feelings for her when they first met and every now and then they may or may not resurface.

"So what time are we leaving for this adventure?" Rory changed the topic trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"6:00 Saturday morning," Logan smiled knowing Rory was not a morning person. When they had first become friends he had brought her coffee early one morning as an apology for spilling something on one of her books. She had ranted for almost an hour about the importance of beauty sleep. Needless to say Logan never made the same mistake twice.

"What! Why would you do that? Are you crazy?" Rory began to rant.

"No. Finn just thought that since it's a two hour flight and we're only there for five days he should get all the partying and sun in as possible. So we should arrive in Florida promptly around 8:00," Logan replied cheekily as they neared her door.

"I hate you," Rory grumbled.

"Love you too. Night Ror," He flashed her a smirk as he disappeared from her sight.

That night Rory's mind drifted back to the awkward moment just minutes before. It wasn't that she had feelings for Logan; it was just that since her third breakup with Dean she hadn't had much of a social life. Sure she'd been on a couple of dates, but nothing ever special came up. Logan was just a friend. She didn't have feelings for him at all. She didn't care that he had fifty women on speed dial. She didn't care that he saw them as nothing more than friends. No that wasn't it at all.

Sorry for the lack of Rogan interaction...it will come later...i promise! but for now read and review please.
