Chapter 1: Graduating from high school and going into summer

Rory and her mom were watching movies the night before her graduation. Her father was in his study finishing up some last minute plans for the party the huge graduation party that was being thrown for rory, logan, steph, colin, and finn. There parents decided to throw one together because they were all so close and all going to yale together.

Rory turns to her Mom to ask her something about the party the next day. "hey mom are what time are we leaving the day after the graduation we get to martha's vineyard?"

"Ummm...I think 6:00, but don't worry your father promised that we would both have huge coffees to start off the day because God knows we will need it to deal with all the lovely people in society" says Lorelai sarcastically. "I'm with ya there, I hate these parties...they are so boring!"

"I know hun, gosh you know when I was your age the parities were just as bad! believe me I know your pain" Lorelai said laughing at a funny memory in her head remembering her high school graduation party with all of her friends at the Vineyard and then she remembered the pool house that she threw the best sub party she had ever been to. "you know rory its not all bad!" said Lorelai with a huge mischievous grin on her face "your friends will be there and you do know that we had the pool house up there redone this past year for the summer"

Lorelai looked at her daughter and at that exact moment Rory looked at her mom and they knew they were thinking the exact same thing!

"Mom I'm sure the others are already planning a subparty, you know how logan, colin, finn, and steph are! But mainly you know how finn is!"

"yes but what is we beat them to it, were going to arrive first and we could decorate the pool house and stock it fully with all the essentials! What do you think?! Please lets do it you can shock your friends and we continue the tradition of the gilmore-hayden ladies being the best party throwers!"

Rory looked at her mom laughing at how excited she was to do this and although it really wasn't her style she did want her graduation party to be fun and memorable. "Well...I guess we can't go back on a tradition, I mean we have to be the best at everything right mom?!"

"ohhh yessssss! Okay lets make a list of everything we need to bring!" The mother-daughter team began listing everything they needed to make this a great party. Lorelai was so happy to do this for Rory because no one knew better than her what it was like to be trapped in this world and not be able to have any fun when you felt like you needed to most.

"okay so mom shall we review the list?"

"yes, ohhhhh but before you do let's get your dad although I love the girl power we have going here on the slim chance that asking a male for help and him having a good suggestion we should probably have him see the list also because of course your dad wasn't nearly as good as me at throwing subparties, he did have some experience with them and on the off chance we may have forgot something which would be terrible lets go review" Rory looked at her mom in amazement at how even the simplest things could make her rant.

"okay mom lets go, but wait is dad gonna be mad that were gonna do this?"

"Rory are you kidding he's gonna be ecstatic!"

Lorelai and Rory walked in to the study as Chris hung up the phone.

"Hey my lovely ladies what movie are we watching tonight?" Rory looked at her mom as if she needed to be the one to initiate the conversation.

"Hey Chris the day is finally here that our smart little pro/con list making, careful, thoughtful decision making, structured, and innocent daughter has come to us the masters of getting through the hell of the place known as hartford society to ask for tips on how to throw an amazing subparty!"

Chirs looked at Rory and then back at Lorelai and then started smiling and laughing. "Our little girl is finally seeing reason!" turning form lorelai to rory "So sweetie I assume your mom and you have begun making a list lets here it"

Rory laughed at how amazing her parents were and how they wanted to help her in throwing a party and how proud they were that she would be doing something reckless. Even though her friends were very outgoing she was always the more careful and innocent one in the group. But at her father's words she suddenly felt very excited about what her mom and her had come up with.

"Okay well here is goes:

The Grad Pool House Party of 2003

-class of 2003 decoration

-yale decorations

-cake

-candy

-appetizers/snacks

ohh and all food for us will be provided by sookie

-scotch which mom says in your area of expertise

-Champane which mom is going to take care of

-vodka and tequila and any other types of alcohol that you both see fit, ohh and one of the most important things

-music which between the 3 of us shouldn't be hard to make a great playlist! So anything we missed?"

"no i think thats everything important and let me just say I envy you because we have to eat fancy food all night and you get to go off and eat everything sookie make!"

Rory laughed and her mom looked proudly at her daughter. She was so amazing graduating valedictorian and getting into YALE along with being one of the nicest and best people ever. She wanted to have her daughter experience high society but be able to know that her home was not the same as all her friends it was safe and it was a home not just a house. At that moment she knew that Rory knew that.

"So girls once again what will the movie be tonight on the historic day that Rory graduated from Chilton?"

"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and I would say that we should do our traditional gilmore-hayden movie night with 3 movies but since we need to get all the stuff for tomorrow lets just watch one!"

Lorelai and Chris looked and Rory and started to laugh and replied together 'yes mom'.

Rory laughed and after a long night of the movie, food, candy, a ton of coffee, and getting all the party supplies for the next day she went up to her room and began to fall asleep when her phone started to ring. She smiled as she saw the caller ID of the person calling.

"Hey Logan!"

"Hey Ace! How's it goin?"

"nothing just sleepy..i would say that i'm surprised your still up but i'm not" she said as she started to laugh

"laugh it up ace! I saw the light on in your room and i knew you were still up!"

"wait you saw the light on in my room? are you here?" rory opened the door to her balcony and saw Logan's car in the drive way.

"so are you coming down or shall i come up?"

"ill come down" rory quickly walked down the hall and stairs to the side door by the kitchen and ran outside to see her logan. She gave him big hug, which he reciprocated equally.

"Miss me ace? its only been about 10 hours since I last saw you!" said logan

"what I can't miss my best friend?

Logan smirked at rory and took her hands in his.

"Of course you can I just didn't know I had such an affect on you." said logan with a smirk

"anyways hold out your hands and close your eyes!"

rory sighed "what are you doing, you know im not a big fan of surprises!"

"yes I do, but I am are so close your eyes" said

rory did as she was told and she felt a soft small object placed in her hands.

"okay open!"

she opened her eyes and she looked at the light blue box in front of her. she smiled back at logan and opened the box. Inside was a heart shaped locket that had small diamonds on the front and on the back it was engraved with his name for her 'ace'.

"logan its beautiful! thank you so much! but you really didn't have to get me anything!"

"I know but i wanted to! i mean its graduation you deserve something extra special miss valedictorian!"

"well in that case follow me" she said with a huge smile on her face. she led logan into the kitchen where there was a present sitting there waiting to be opened.

"Ace you didn't have to get me anything!"

"well to quote you about 2 minutes ago 'graduation is special and I wanted to' so go ahead and open it!"

logan looked at rory and then down at the gift as he tore the wrapping paper and smirked at what he saw. It was a picture of the two of them when they were around 6 sitting in front of dan the bulldog (AN:the yale mascot)

"i haven't seen this picture in such a long time!"

"Well dont stop their theres something else in the bag logan"

Logan looked in the bag and found a note taped to the bag that said 'emergency kit:party/fun bag-warning:everything in this bag should be used when you want to have good time and for no other reasons'" Logan laughed a the note and looked into the bag, In it was a bottle of his favorite brand of scotch and about 30 of his favorite chocolates, a beer funnel, a bottle of champagne, a playlist of the best music out right now, a disco ball (because well it is rory who is giving him this), a brand new set of cards, a poker chip set, and a new set of 5 shot glasses. At the very bottom of the bag though there was another framed picture of logan and rory today at graduation with there 3 other best friends stephanie, colin, and finn.

logan looked at all the things and just smiled at how hilarious and at the same time meaningful the gift rory gave him was. "Well I must say Ace, this is all amazing! Thank you!" he said with a smile

"No problem Huntzburger, consider it a summer survival kit and some memories that I am sure will be added to soon."

"Oh definitely,this summer will definitely be one we can look back on and say 'wow we did crazy fun shit when we were young' haha i'm sure colin will be excited about the new poker chips and well, finn will just be happy that there is alcohol."

"Maybe for you, but I will have you know that I already have a list of everything I need to do before school starts and it is so long"

"Oh come on ace im sure its not that long and knowing you I bet you already have finished more than half of it, plus I am adding rule to this gift you gave me, you have to be there when I use at least 3 things from it, deal"

"logan! you know im not a party person"

"come on rory, please, think about all the fun we will have this summer and come on ill at least let the disco ball be one of the 3."

"Okay, deal, but then another rule is that all 5 of us have to be there when we use it?"
"sounds good!" said logan with a smirk

"logan I can't believe were actually starting YALE, I mean this its crazy. I miss those days back then dreaming about going. playing hide and go seek with colin, steph, and finn."

Logan looked at his Ace. She was never the best with change,hell most people aren't and she was right things back then were so simple. He pushed the strand of hair out of her eyes and looked into them and she smiled back at him.

"I know we did have some good times on that campus, and then a chilton. He speaking of good times when are you going to start having more of them! I mean school is out, its summer! You graduated as valedictorian, its time for some fun Ace! PLus courtesy of you we now have this bag of fun!"

Rory looked at him and just laughed

"Logan Huntzberger if you think that I haven't had good times lately then you definitely need a wake up call because being with our friends entails a good, crazy time, but if its making memories you are referring to then maybe this summer will be my chance!"

"I'm gonna hold you to that Ace! Anyway I should get going its late and we all are flying out tomorrow."

Rory got up and led him to the side door by the kitchen.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow." she said with a simile. logan kissed rory's cheek and walked away.

"Bye Ace, be ready to make some memories!" he said with a smirk.

Tomorrow was going to be great she thought to herself, all her best friends would surround her and they would have probably the best time they have ever had at a society party! Plus she would be the one to surprise Logan for once!
