Rory sat in her dorm room awaiting a call from her mother. Her phone started vibrating.

"Hello?" Rory asked worried

"Hey Sweets! What's up?" Lorelai cheerfully answered.

"Hey Mom. I'm going crazy. Is he ever going to call?"

"Rory. I told you to stop worrying. I bet he didn't even get your voice message yet."

"How do I know that?"

"He had a 13 hour flight overseas with no cells phones allowed on the plane . I'm pretty sure. I bet he'll call you when he gets off the plane."

"What if he doesn't?"

"He will. But Rory, I really want you to take the week off and come visit me. You need to relax. You're going to stress out to much and that's bad."

"I can't. I'm going to miss all my classes."

"So what?" Lorelai said trying to get her daughter to do what's best for her.

"SO WHAT?"

"You know what I meant. You probably won't be able to go anymore anyways."

"Of course I will. I can do both.."

"you don't know how hard that will be. I know. It was tough. That's why I dropped out."

"But I'm different. I have a great mom and step-dad and baby sister. I can do it."

"I know you can. I'm just warning you. It's tough out there."

"That's why I want Logan to call me."

"Just skip classes and join me. Luke and Mischa are going on a daddy-daughter week and I'm all alone. We can bond and look at your baby books."

"You have baby books of me?" Rory asked amazed.

"six of them."

"Wow."

"I know. I'm so proud of myself."

"Ok. I'm coming. See you tonight."

"That's my girl!"

"Bye."

"Bye!"

Logan got off the long plane ride, exhausted. His dad's sister was getting remarried for the third time and he was supposed to be a groom's men. He turned on his phone and noticed that he had 17 new messages all from that same number. He listened to the latest one.

"Hey Logan, this is Rory. I know this is like my 29 call and they all have almost the exact same message so don't bother listening to all of them but I really need you to call me back as soon as you get this. It's urgent.

I know that you want to keep this a no-strings attached relationship but I'm not quite sure that will happen anymore. Call me, Rory."

Before Logan could check the other 16 messages, Ronnie, his best friend from high-school, tackled him with a big bear hug.

"Long time no see! How's it been?" Ronnie asked, letting go.

"Not too bad."

"Got any hott chicks lately?"

"Right now I have girl problem. But that's the first thing you ask me huh? Hott chicks? You haven't changed a bit."

"Hey, Don't worry about any girls during our week. It's just going to be the guys. Absolutely nothing about girls. Got it?"

"Got it."

"Now give me your cell phone. As of now- no contact with girls from the US."

Logan gave over his phone without protest. Rory would have to wait.
