A/N Here is chapter two. Enjoy!

Chapter 2 Pickles and Ice cream

Rory was in her room sleeping, when there was a loud noise, like a stampede of wild buffalo, on the other side of her bedroom door. Waking up, she looked at her clock, which read 5:45 am. Annoyed that she had been disturbed, Rory got out of bed and walked into the common room that she and her roommate Paris Geller shared. She was about to go back into her room, when something caught her eye. When she turned around, Rory saw Doyle, her editor/roommates lover, completely naked except for a pair of black men's socks and a pair of Rory's pink fuzzy slippers. She then put her hand to her face (like you do when you're shading your face from the sun) and quickly looked at Doyle's feet, since they were the only part of him that was clothed.

"Doyle!"

"Uh, oh hi uh Gilmore, what brings you here?"

"I live here!"

"Right. (He clears his throat) So……are you done with your article?"

"That's not important right now. What's important is why are you wearing my slippers and why are you naked?"

"Actually Gilmore there is a funny story about that…"

"I have the whipped cream and pickles. Oh hi Rory. Paris said nonchalantly. Why are you up so early? Doesn't your first class start at 10:15?"

"Ya, it does and I was hoping to sleep in but Doyle woke me up and now I will have nightmares for a month and why is Doyle wearing MY slippers!"

"When they didn't answer, Rory, with a horrified look on her face ran back into her room and slammed the door

"What's her problem?" Doyle said obliviously

"She's not a morning person." Paris said back

Since Rory could not go back to sleep after that, she took a shower, picked up her already clean room, and went over her notes for class. She couldn't bare to look at the article she was working on for the YDN because that made her think of Doyle, and when she thought of Doyle, the image of him in his birthday suit was just to gross and disturbing for words.

By the time she was done, it was 9o'clock. Even though it was still too early to go to class, she needed to get out of her dorm, so she decided to take a walk around the campus and maybe stop for coffee.

Checking to make sure the coast was clear, Rory bolted out of her Dorm room so that she wouldn't run into Doyle or find out why they wanted pickles and whipped cream at 5:45 in the morning. She shuddered at the thought of that.

Rory had walked to the coffee stand, ordered her Carmel Macchiato, and was sitting on a bench next to her world history class, when someone came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped nearly spilling her drink but managed to keep it from falling out of her hand. She turned around to find a smirking Logan sitting where she was sitting before he had disturbed her.

"Hi Ace!"

"Logan, you scarred me! I am really jumpy this morning!"

"Why, who are you hiding from?" He said jokingly

"Actually Paris and our omnipresent editor."

"Doyle? Logan said confused. "Why?"

"Lets just say I saw something that I am really sure I shouldn't have seen this morning, involving him and Paris."

"You mean you saw them having…" Logan said with big eyes

"No, And thank God I didn't!" Rory interrupted. "I saw Doyle naked."

"You what?" He said with a mix of amusement and terror on his face

"Exactly what I said. I heard something, I went out to see what it was, and there he was completely naked except for a pair of socks and my slippers, which I still need to talk to Paris about by the way."

"Wow! When you said that your life wasn't boring you were right."

"And I just am afraid to go to the YDN to day because I know HE will be there and I don't think that I can look at him the same way again!"

"I'm sorry to here about that but at least when we go to breakfast it will help you to forget about them and hey I'll even walk you there and keep Doyle busy so he doesn't see you".

"That's nice of you Logan, wait breakfast?"

"Ya remember I asked you what you were doing today and you said nothing. So I then asked you if you wanted to have breakfast at 10 this morning?"

"Oh shoot I remember that. I'm sorry Logan I have a world history class at ten fifteen so I…"

"Come on Ace, that class is so boring, why don't you just skip it for today."

"Logan I wish I could but I can't. How about I meet you here at 11.45 and we can go to lunch?"

"Well ok Ace since you just LOVE history, I guess Colin and I can go out to breakfast, since I'm sure Finn will still be asleep."

"Thanks Logan."

"Sure Ace but you better get an A in that class."

"I am."

"Great then you can miss it today!"

"Logan!"

"Just kidding Ace. Well I got to go so I can catch Colin before he leaves."

"Ok see you after my class."

"Bye!"

After her class, which was incredibly boring, Rory went to the bench that she had agreed on meeting Logan at, and decided to check her messages. One was from her mom, just asking how she was, one was from Marty, telling her that he given Paris the dvd that he borrowed from her and the last one was from Lane, calling her to talk about Zack. As soon as she deleted the last message she saw Logan walking up to her.

"Hey Ace."

"Hey Huntzberger."

"Ready to go?"

"Yep, ready and waiting."

"Well then right this way."

He ushered her to his car and opened the door for her.

"So where are we going?" Rory asked as Logan got into the car.

"I heard about this great little Italian restaurant that just opened up in Hartford."

"That sounds great!"

"Ok then it's settled, we're going there."

As they left the parking lot they started to talk about little things like the weather, the news and pretty soon they were in a deep discussion over a book that they had read called War and Peace By Leo Tolstoy. By the time they had gotten to the restaurant, Rory was crying because she was laughing so hard.

"We're here." Logan said as he pulled into the parking lot of the little restaurant.

"Great, I'm starved." Rory said as Logan helped her out of his SUV

They walked up the front steps, opened the door and looked around. It was nothing that Rory had ever seen before. It was fancy but not too fancy, marble floors and beige wallpaper sporting a fleur de lis pattern. Logan and Rory walked up to the hostess. She smiled and told them and told them that they could be seated right away. A waiter showed them to their seat and took their drink order. When the waiter left Logan looked up at Rory.

"Actually Ace there is a reason why I wanted to meet with you today."

Rory looked up from the menu she was reading to look into his chocolate brown eyes.

"Well um you see." he stammered

"I don't like this arrangement." Rory blurted out before she could stop herself

"I… wait what?"

"I don't like this whole no strings attached thing!"

"Uh wait you don't."

"No. It's really weird."

"Weird, why?"

"Its weird when I see you with other girls and its weird when I see you get totally jealous when you see me with another guy…"

"Hey that was one time and I wasn't jealous."

"Ok keep telling yourself that."

"Look Rory I don't want to fight with you about how you thought I was jealous…"

"But you were!"

"Fine I'll admit maybe I was a little jealous, but there is a reason why I was."

"Oh and what is the reason?"

"The reason is because I don't like this agreement either, I didn't like to see you with other guys and most of all I don't like seeing you with Robert"

"Doesn't Robert fit into the 'other guys' category?"

"No I don't know where he fits in to."

"Wow you really don't like him do you?"

"No I don't but that's beside the point. The point is I want shoelaces!"

"What?"

"Shoe laces! Oh I guess I mean strings whatever they're all the same. Anyway, I want the whole package, Rory. I don't want you dating anyone else but me. And I don't want to date anyone else but you."

"Logan, I'm not sure you can do the whole boyfriend thing."

"Come on, Ace! If I say I can, then I can."

"Logan, you have a hundred girls on speed dial, you even keep a second bathrobe in your closet for overnight guests!"

"That is all beside the point. You are unhappy with the situation, right?"

"Right."

"Fine. I've rectified the situation. Problem solved."

"No. Problem not solved."

"Hey, if I say I can do this then I can do this!"

"Logan, I'm not sure you can."

"Rory, I'm sure I can."

"Well at least one of us is."

"Rory, why don't you believe that I can do this?"

"I don't know Logan, I'm just not sure if you can leave your old single life, girls and everything, to be with me."

"Rory, I'm Logan Huntzberger. I can do anything."

That following night, Rory stared at her reflection in the mirror. The electric blue dress did match her eyes but it was too casual for tonight. She needed something special because she really wanted to impress Logan's parents. She looked back into her neatly arranged closet, picked through some of the dresses until she finally found the perfect one. It was black and just ended below her knee. With sparkly black beads and elegant black lace it was the most suitable dress she had, to go to the Huntzberger's house for dinner.

Checking the time, Rory found that she had twenty minutes before Logan was supposed to pick her up. She grabbed her black cardigan, purse and coat, walked over to her coach and set them next to her. After trying to watch news, pacing back and forth in her dorm room, and drumming her fingers on her desk, she picked up one of Paris' "Spiritual Woman" magazines and started to flip through it. But as she skimmed through the "Anger is not the Answer." article she found herself recalling the unexpected way the invitation to the Huntzberger's House come about.

Flashback(ALL thoughts are from Rory ONLY.)

"I have the paper over…" Logan said walking into his dorm with Rory behind him.

"Well, look how long you make a girl wait for you." A petite blond haired girl in a frilly white dress said, getting up from the couch she was on.

"Honor..."Logan, said generally surprised .Oh great another of Logan's one night stands. Rory thought

"Do you really think you're worth it?" Humm. I wonder what she wants.

"Honor what are you doing here?" As if you don't know.

"I am apparently begging for some affection." I just bet you are.

Honor walked over and hugged him.

"It is so good to see you!" yep you definitely are.

"You too." Apparently he is to.

"Uh listen Logan maybe I should go." Rory said uncomfortably. I guess there is no need for me here.

"What? Oh sorry, God I just... uh, Rory this is my sister, Honor. Honor, Rory Gilmore." Did he just say sister? Now don't I feel stupid.

" Sister? Really? Oh well, nice to meet you." Rory said Wow I didn't know Logan had a sister.

"It is nice to meet you too." Honor said politely. She's nice.

"What's the occasion?" Logan asked as he closed his dorm door. Ya why are you here

"My ring is." She flashes a gold ring with a huge diamond that is on her finger at him. Wow that ring is gorgeous.

"Holy..."He said as he glanced at the ring. Apparently Logan agrees with me.

"It happened last night." Honor said gleefully. Awww how romantic

"Josh finally gave in, huh?" Logan said playfully. Her fiancées name is Josh. Nice name. Wonder what he looks like.

"Stop it! Josh was lucky I ever looked at him in the first place." Honor said scowling at him. Logan's such a tease.

"Well, congratulations. Tell Josh that the bachelor party's on me." Logan said leaning against the sofa armrest. That'll be one heck of a party.

"This is exactly what I want. You planning the bachelor party. Listen, I need a favor, I'm going to tell them tomorrow night at dinner, and I need you there for support." Honor said, walking over to sit across from her brother on the sofa. They're really close, it's cute.

"Come on." Logan protested. i Why doesn't he want to go? If she were my sister I would want to go.

"I backed you up when you wanted to take a year off school and sail around the world. I wired you the money when you sunk the yacht, and..."Honor said about to name off her long list of things that she did for him. Hey that reminds me of what Doyle told me. Oh no Doyle, great now the image is back.

"Okay, Okay - I'll be there." Logan interrupted looking over at Rory. Ha Ha, he thinks I dont know about Fiji.

"Thank You, I love you, I love you, I love you. Okay. Now I can breathe and focus on you. Hi." Honor said turning to Rory.

" Hi." That was easy.

"I'm sorry I totally am blanking...Your name is...?" Honor said trying to remember her name.

"Rory. Rory Gilmore." Hey I sound like James Bond

"Yeah. Rory's my..." he paused, "...girlfriend." Logan said before looking at Rory. Wow he actually said it. It only took him about 15 seconds.

"Would you like to sit down and have me get you some water?" Rory said with a huge smirk on her face.

"I'm fine." Logan said playfully scowling at her

"I'm sorry, did you say 'girlfriend'?" Honor said standing up with her mouth open. Apparently she is surprised.

"Yes." Logan said sighing because he knew what was coming next. I wonder if Logan has ever had a girlfriend before

"It's new." Rory confirmed

"Oh My God! I have never heard him call anyone his girlfriend before! Well, Alyssa Milano, but that he was ten and in a weird "Who's the Boss" phase..."Honor said babbling. Well, I guess she answered my question.

"Time sure flies when you being pushed out the door." Logan said getting up and started pushing Honor toward the door. Wait a minute, Logan went through a "Who's the Boss" phase

"Okay, I'm sorry, listen, you must come to dinner, too." Honor said looking back at Rory. What

"Oh, uh..."Rory said stuttering. i What do I say, what do I say/i

"No really "girlfriend", says the whitest woman in the world, come. Please come. It will make it more festive and distracting. Ha ha, she's funny. I want to go but we haven't talked about it and…

"We'll see" Logan said staring at his sister. Saved by the boyfriend.

Honor walks over to the door.

"Well bye Rory, it was nice to meet you." Honor looks at Rory.

"Bye, you to." Rory says back. I hope I see her again.

"Bye Logan." Honor smiles and looks at her brother.

"Bye Honor."

Honor opened the door and left.

"You don't have to go Rory, my family is a lot to handle." Does he not want me to go

"No it's ok, I mean if you want me to go."

"Of course I want you to come, I'm just not sure if you can handle them. They're a lot of work." I can handle them.

"Its ok my grandparents are hard to handle too…"

End of Flashback

There was a knock at the door and Rory was startled out her thoughts. She picked up her things and quickly got up to answer the door. Little did she know that opening that door was the start to a very long evening.
