Summary: I only meant they'd be happy in the end. Trory with TristanRoryLogan. Sequel to The Saga of Mary and Bible Boy.

Chapter 1: The DuGrey Smirk

Recap:

And here ends the Saga of Mary and Bible Boy.

So that the fairytale could begin.

And they lived happily ever after.

But who said there wouldn't be bumps in the road along the way? Not I! I only meant they'd be happy in the end.

Now what could cause turbulance on the road of love Rory and Tristan were traveling upon? Or more specifically….. who?

In this case, ladies and gentlemen, the bump in the road was Logan Huntzberger.

"I don't see what the big deal with this party is," Rory complained. "I could have faked sick or something. Then we could be at home, having a movie night. Listening to music. Heck, playing Yahtzee would be better than this!"

"Your grandmother wants you to meet some people you'll be going to Yale with," Lorelai explained for what seemed like the hundredth time. She felt guilty about lying. You're not lying, just stretching the truth a little bit, she reassured herself. Besides, Rory isn't allowed to know about the Life and Death Brigade yet.

The truth folks, is that this shindig was held to let new Life and Death Brigaders meet each other before they learn about the secret society. Only a select few already knew why they were here. Mostly the society's founders' descendants were the ones that knew.

Technically, the Gilmores were founders, but since Lorelai hadn't gone to Yale, Rory had missed out on the whole 'growing up hearing stories about it' bit. So, she wasn't one fo the few 'enlightened' socialites here.

Logan Huntzberger was bored. And I mean really bored. He was almost dozing off as he listened to his mother and Emily Gilmore talk about the new bathroom tiles.

"We put something just like it in Rory's bathroom last year."

"I thought Lorelai was your only daughter!" Miriam Huntzberger questioned.

Logan Huntzberger had heard of Lorelai Gilmore. The wild child. A socialite legend. She was like a hero to all of the Hartford's best social class' offspring.

"No no dear," Emily answered. "Rory is my granddaughter. Her mother got hurt last year so she had to live with Richard and I for a while. Darling girl. She went to Chilton… wrote for the newspaper there. Best writer they've ever had," she boasted.

"Is she going to be at Yale for the fall?" Miriam asked.

"Yes. She's here tonight actually."

"Really? Where?" Miriam asked politely.

"Over there with her mother," Emily informed, nodding her head in their direction. It wasn't polite to point after all. "The spitting image of her mother, that one." She stated proudly.

Logan looked in the direction the old socialite had nodded towards. It was true. Both the older and younger woman were beautiful with dark brown hair and dazzling blue eyes.

She wasn't his type though. She wasn't a blonde, and from what he had heard so far tonight, she was far from an airhead. Nope. Not his type at all.

As the girl.. no… woman and her mother approached thought, he couldn't help but do a double take. His eyes traveling up and down her body seemed to unsettle her. Amused, he smirked.

Surprisingly though, she smirked right back at him before turning and smiling sweetly towards his mother. Logan stared, openmouthed with shock. Just whenhe had had her pinned as a Mary. And was that the DuGrey smirk?

As he watched the ace reporter exchange pleasantries and then head off to join a group also including a fellow troublemaker and old buddy of his, he was certain. Definitely the DuGrey smirk.

A/N: so… what did you think? I really wanted to start this thing already, so I'm sorry it's so short.There's gonna be some sophie in the middle, but it will end as a Trory. And does anyone want to Beta this for me? Feel free to email me, the address is on my profile. And don't forget to review. This might take a while to update, cuz I'm going on vacation on Monday (early Monday, I have to wake up at 4.) But with enough encouragement, I might get another chapter up before then. And tons of time to write on the plane! Haha. Review! Review! Review!
