I would like everyone to know this is my first Gilmore Girls fanfic. After becoming slightly obsessed with the show because of Logan this idea popped into my head. For a few years now I have been writing stories, this one being my fourth. I never actually intended to write this one out, only to keep it in my head and to just add to it there until I came upon this site then I knew I had to write the story and share it since it seemed to be screaming out to me. On another note I'm not actually a writer, in school I sort of stink at the subject because I'm not that creative at coming up with ideas-only when I'm writing something I love/like do I get somewhat happy/into. And if there are any grammatical errors I do apologize I will try and fix them with Word. Lastly, I'm sorry I know you want the story to start but it's the first chapter and I just need to get everything out, this is mostly a Rory/Logan fanfic because as I said previously I'm slightly obsessed with Logan. So after reading other stories I would like to say please read and review (which is what I think RR means). So enough of me talking and on with the story!
BTW- I haven't decided when exactly this takes place. I know it's after the Life and Death Brigade event but that's as far as I know.
DISCLAIMER-I do not own anything that is related to Gilmore Girls much to my own disappointment. Although owning Logan for a bit would be just lovely! )

"Hey, Ace," Logan said coming up from behind Rory.
"Hey, Logan. What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" Rory asked pointing to her books scattered across the table.
"Yeah, I see. How can you stay in here?" Logan asked looking around the library. "Doesn't it give you the creeps-I get the creeps," he said with that famous smile.
Sighing, he already exasperated Rory and it hadn't even been five minutes. "No, it's a good place, Logan," she said as if talking to a little kid, "It lets me have peace and quiet to study." Then looking at him added, "Most of the time."
After a moment of silence Rory got tired of waiting for Logan to answer her first question of what he wanted. "So, what is it? I need to get back to this sometime," Rory said temper a little flared, which quickly cooled off with the site of that famous smile, only he could pull off. I don't get it, Rory thought. I'm a rational person. How can he make me do that-just stop being mad at him like nothing even happened?
Rory was pulled out of her thoughts when Logan decided that she had calmed down enough to ask her. At first he wanted to mention how cute she looked mad but he thought the better of it, seeing as how she would get angry again and possibly tell him no. "Ace, what are you doing tomorrow night?"
"I don't know," Rory said slowly and cautiously, "Probably studying after my ritual Friday night dinner with my mom and grandparents," Rory told him. Then an after thought hit her. "Why?" she said even more cautious and now suspicious.
Logan gave her a smirk and a look of fake confusion and disbelief. "On a Friday night you are going to have dinner with your family and study afterwards? How boring, Ace. Where's your freedom and sense of fun?"
Realizing how it sounded, Rory looked down at her books scattered across the table. He was right but Rory would never admit it or else she would never hear the end of it. She was studying now and tomorrow she would be studying again after a dinner with her family.
How lame, Rory thought to herself.
But not to show she thought he was right, Rory shot back. "If I do recall my 'sense of fun,' as you so neatly said it, was left at the bottom of that seven story building I jumped off of with you. My sense of freedom on the other hand is just where I want it- I can choose to do whatever I like even if I choose to study or eat dinner with my family."
Ignoring Rory's glare, Logan just shrugged. "Suit yourself. I just thought that maybe you wanted to do something with me tomorrow."
Is he asking me out, Rory asked herself? No, he can't be. This is Logan Huntzberger, the Playboy of Yale. Logan can't have any feelings like that for me, can he?
Pushing the thoughts aside, "I can't Logan. I have a mandatory presence at my grandparent's house and my mom would shoot me if I left her alone with them"
"So, I'll take that as a yes then."
"Didn't you hear a word I just said? I can't."
"Well, you could if it wasn't for dinner," Logan pointed out, "And if that's all it is then I'll take care of that." Seeing Rory was going to say something, Logan covered her mouth with his hand. "Don't worry about anything, Ace. I've hot you covered be ready tomorrow with a packed bag. You can travel light; I'll have most things covered."
And with that he left Rory there stunned and again, he had the last word. Rory decided to stop thinking about it and get back to studying.
After reading the same paragraph three times and still not be able to remember what it said, Rory decided to just pack up. What's the point of studying if I can't get anything don't with him on the brain? What exactly was that all about? I told him I couldn't and he says no problem, I'll pick you up tomorrow.
With an inner sigh, Rory grabbed her stuff and headed for Brantford. At least finals are over, she thought, now I can enjoy winter break without any mandatory studying.
Rory stopped abruptly. Logan is right, she thought walking again. Why would I be studying if break is coming up and all finals are done?
Rory shook herself. I only do it because I want to be ahead. Who can blame a person for wanting to know stuff? Hell, I'm just a brainy geek, that's all.
Not paying attention to where she was going, Rory ran into something solid. "Oh, I'm sorry," Rory started to say then realized who it was. "Finn. Hello Colin. Nice to see you again."
"Colin, how does this lovely young lady here know me? I don't think I've met her before." And then jumping for joy Finn added, "Introduce us, please?" he said prolonging the 's' sound.
With another sigh from Rory she said, "Finn, you already know who I am. How many times do I need to introduce myself to you?"
"Yes, Finn. Don't you remember? Miss Gilmore, here, is out number one favorite reporter!" Colin told Finn.
"Ah," Finn said, his face the expression of recognition, "I do remember. How could I forget such a lovely face…"And with a smirk of his own, "And such a lovely body." Finn took Rory's hand and kissed it.
Rory snatched her hand back and accused him of drinking too much.
"Ah, yes. One of my wonderful habits. Wonderful isn't it?" He asked rocking back and forth.
Wondering how he could do that being drunk and not actually fall backwards-or forwards for that matter, Rory turned to Colin. "So what you guys doing out here? I thought a party would have been on the agenda for tonight."
"Not before the event," Finn exclaimed.
Rory just looked at Colin for an explanation, knowing she wouldn't get anything good out of Finn.
"Well, the Life and Death Brigade is having their annual winter break social event. I thought Logan already talked to you about it," Colin added a little confused.
"Oh, so that's what he invited me to," Rory though out loud to herself complete comprehension on her face.
"Well, of course. What else would he be talking about?" Finn asked throwing his hands up, exaggeratingly.
"I don't know. He must pride himself on how vague he is…"
"Among other things," they all said and busted out laughing.
Seeing Rory's door the guys came to a halt. "Well my dear," Finn said trying to grab Rory's hand again but was too slow, "I hope we see you tomorrow at the ungodly hour that is required for this event."
"Yes, Rory. We will be seeing you. So until then," Colin said giving Rory a salute.
Shaking her had, Rory got out her key and unlocked her door. The place was dark and not a sound was made. Rory dropped her stuff off next to her desk and turned on the light. Subconsciously she looked around her room and instantly noticed it wasn't as she left it. Hanging on her closet door was a long bag. But not any sort of bag-a bag that held clothes, expensive clothes. Walking up to it Rory noticed the paper taped to it.
Confused, Rory read out loud:
Ace,
Wear this tomorrow when I pick you up at 7. Until then.
Master and Commander
Rory was fuming again after reading the note. She opened the bag expecting to find a ball gown or something to that effect but instead found a pair of jeans and a silky blue top that would defiantly bring out her eyes.
Why would Logan drop off clothes like this if it was a Life and Death Brigade event? Those are the classy, ball gown kind of event not jeans and a top kind.
Still fuming and completely confused, Rory went to Paris' room and went in not bothering to knock. "PARIS!" Rory screamed. "Are you awake? If not, wake up!"
Paris just mumbled something about noisy roommates and being asleep then pulled the blanket over her head.
Not having any of it, Rory pulled the blanket all the way off and Paris sat straight up. "Good you're awake," Rory commented as if nothing had happened.
"What is wrong with you, Gilmore?" Paris yelled.
Waving the note in front of her face, Rory asked, "Has anyone gone into my room since I left? I found a nice, little, and costly addition to my wardrobe with this taped to it."
Now wide awake, Paris snatched the paper from Rory and read it, telling her that she had seen no one go into her room but then she had been watching t.v. for sometime then went to bed. "Who is Master and Commander?"
"Logan."
"You mean Huntzberger? Why is he leaving stuff for you in your room and picking you up at 7?"
"I don't know why he left it," Rory said throwing her arms up in what could have been described as a copy of Finn from earlier. "I told him I couldn't go either but he just twisted my words around. And it's not like I can use studying as an excuse because finals are over and break is here. And I found out from Colin and Finn it's an event for the Life and Death Brigade. Even Finn wasn't drinking-which pretty much says it would interfere with the integrity of the event."
"Well since it's a Life and Death Brigade event it must have something to it, especially if Finn wasn't drinking," Paris joked.
Just when Rory thought she had Paris figured out she changed and got even more confusing.
Not noticing Rory's confused state Paris went on without so much as a stutter. "Maybe for everyone's sake you should just go with the flow. I mean how much trouble can you seriously get into? I really hate to admit this but Huntzberger is right about you and your spontaneity. Well your lack there of," Paris added.
"I- I do to have spontaneity," Rory exclaimed. "I jumped off a building, I'll have you know."
"Yeah, yeah," Paris said pulling the covers back up to her face and laid back down. "And let me remind you that it was Huntzberger that convinced you to do it. Now let me sleep."
Now calmed but even more confused as ever by the last thing Paris had said, Rory went back to her room and got ready for bed. As soon as her head hit the pillow she was asleep.

Logan laid in bed thinking about what the next Life and Death Brigade even was going to be like. Sure the last one with Ace was good but he didn't realize exactly how good it would be. Jumping off that make shift building, he didn't think she had it in her to do it but pushing the right buttons he got her to. Just thinking about it made him smile. Hopefully with this event it will be even better. Logan didn't know why he wanted things to go even better but he did and it made him confused-something he wasn't used to. Pushing the thought away for another time, Logan turned over and tried to sleep.

Okay so a cliff hanger but I didn't know how to end it! Any thoughts about what you think would be much obliged and I have a question, a poll of sorts for all the readers because I can't decide what to do…
Should Rory and Logan go into the no strings relationship first or should they just be oblivious to what they feel and then realize it with much help from their friends and decide they should try dating? Much help is needed on that question I don't know which to choose!
