AN:Shocking that in such a short time I updated two stories.

Logan walked out to the balcony where he found Rory with Tristan DuGrey; sure when they were younger they were best friends, but they hadn't spoken much in a few years. He had no idea that Rory even knew Tristan, but for some reason Rory smiled while talking to him.

"Rory, can we talk, please?" Logan asked.

"Why? So you can defend yourself? Or cause a scene at your sister's wedding? You know as well as I do that things like that don't go over well at this kind of party."

"Rory, just come into the other room with me, we really need to talk. You can't just throw something like that on me and walk away."

"You know what you did, Logan."

Logan was being persuasive; he not only wanted to talk to Rory, but he also wanted to get her away from Tristan. Many girls in the past had been torn between the two young men, most of the time choosing both – separately of course. He didn't want Rory to have the option of another man. Rory had been angry with him for sleeping with other girls while they were broken up, maybe it was a double standard, but he couldn't picture being okay with Rory and any other guy.

"What happened in Honor's dressing room?"

"All of her friends were discussing how they've slept with you...while you and I were together."

"We were broken up."

"I didn't know that we were broken up until Honor called me over Thanksgiving."

"Listen Rory, I have never felt the way I do about you. That scares me; I told you that I was not the boyfriend type, but you didn't want to listen. When we had our fight, I went back to my old ways – I was the same person I was before you came along. I want to change for you, I made a mistake…"

"…or a few mistakes."

"Okay, a few mistakes, but I'm sorry, Ace."

"Sorry is not going to cut it, Logan. I can't trust you not to go back to your old ways again."

Rory walked away without allowing Logan to respond. She called Lorelai to pick her up and stood outside to wait for her. As Rory was standing near the valets, she felt someone standing over her. She assumed it was Logan and turned around ready to start round two, but instead it was a different blonde…the one she hadn't spoken to in years.

"Logan Huntzberger is probably the last person in the world I would picture you with, Mary."

"I see the past few years have made you forget my name."

"I'll never forget…not with how much you wanted me in high school."

"Was I that transparent?"

"Well, you still have the chance," Tristan responded in the same tone he always used with her.

"I think I'll pass, just like I did back then."

"That's cold, Gilmore. What happened to your stock boy?"

Rory grew hesitant and told him that ended. She didn't want to tell someone who was practically a stranger everything that happened between her and Dean. Logan barely knew most of the details and the two of them had dated for about a year, of course with that break up in the middle. Rory stood there awkwardly with Tristan until Lorelai arrived.

"It was nice seeing you again, Tristan."

"You too…Mary."

With that, Rory got into Lorelai's car and finally allowed the tears to flow. Through the crying, she told Lorelai about the bridesmaids and everything that Logan said to her. Lorelai knew that Logan was going to be trouble, so she took Rory home and ordered a few pizzas and put in some bad movies. It was time for a night of wallowing. Lorelai had her own wallowing to do after learning about Luke's daughter and the secret he had been keeping from her.

The two Gilmores sat on the couch thinking about the men that did them wrong. Lorelai had no idea that there was another man on Rory's mind. The one who had magically appeared out of nowhere and the one that she didn't think that she would ever see again. Logan had never mentioned Tristan before even though they had been best friends; something happened between then in high school and she was curious as to what it was.

Rory and Lorelai fell asleep on the couch, waking up to the phone ringing some time around noon. Lorelai answered and heard an Australian accent on the other end.

"Rory, it's a boy with an accent."

"Hello?"

"Hello love, it's Finn. You know, Logan's a wreck – drunk off his ass and he's repeating your name over and over."

"What am I supposed to do about it?"

"Come to his apartment and talk to him; Colin and I can't take the whining anymore. I'm the belligerent drunk, not Logan."

Rory told Finn that she would think about it and then turned to Lorelai and explained to her. If she went to Logan's then she would be the one giving in when he was the one who did something wrong. Also, if he was still drunk then there was no way she would actually be able to have a conversation with him.

"Drunkenness might help you get the truth out of him."

"I already know the truth; he slept with all of Honor's friends. In the year we've been together, nothing has changed…why should I go talk to him?"

"Rory, you know that I don't like him…or his type, but he's made you happy. You should go talk to him."

She decided to take the drive to New Haven and visit Logan's apartment. When she knocked on the door Colin answered and said that he was on his way out. Apparently Colin and Finn were getting tired of listening to Logan. Rory found him exactly how Finn had described, calling out her name in his drunken stupor.

"Rory…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have slept with them, but I've never gone that long without sex. Not since I was fourteen. Tristan and I used to have contests about who could sleep with more girls. I would always win because there was some girl that kept turning him down. I would tell him to get over her, but Tristan – he'd never listen. We fought over it then he went to military school and we stopped talking."

Logan had a habit of rambling when he was drunk. It was the same type of rambling as when he had wanted to apologize to the folk singer the night that Jess had showed up at Rory's grandparents' house. This time she listened to the ramblings and for the first time she learned something about Logan growing up in Connecticut society.

"So just because you've been a playboy all your life, I should forgive you for cheating on me."

"I never cheated, Rory. I love you."

"You're drunk; you don't know what you're saying."

Logan tried to convince Rory that he was fine, but he failed when he needed to rush to the bathroom. Rory wanted to leave when she heard the retching, but she wanted to make sure he was okay. As angry as she was, Rory Gilmore was not the type to leave a drunken friend alone.

There was a knock on the door and Rory answered it since Logan was in no condition to greet a guest. Staring Rory in the face when she opened the door was none other than Gwen DuGrey, sister of Logan's former best friend.

"You're Logan's girlfriend, right?"

"Ex-girlfriend, but yes, that's me…You were one of Honor's bridesmaids, weren't you?"

"Yes, I saw you talking to my brother last night."

Rory looked at her puzzled pretending to not know who Gwen's brother was. When she said that Tristan was her brother Rory told Gwen that she went to Chilton.

"Were you one of the many that fell at Tristan's feet?"

"No, I had a boyfriend all through high school."

"Oh, a smart girl – then how did you end up with Logan in college?"

"I don't know, that's why it's over. He's in the bathroom puking if you'd like to talk to him."

Rory took Gwen's arrival as her cue to leave and head back to Stars Hollow. She thought about those three words that Logan uttered in his drunken state then remembered what Lorelai said to her before she left. If the words he spoke while intoxicated were true and he loved her, then why wouldn't he tell her about the other girls. Isn't love about being open and honest? Rory trusted him less and less and her mind began to wander more. She started to wonder what had happened between him and Tristan and why the two of them weren't friends anymore.

Back in Logan's apartment, Gwen went into the bathroom where she was going to talk to Logan. He looked at her then his head went back into the toilet. He kept yelling at himself for drinking so much and telling Rory that he loved her. Of course he meant it, but he knew that those weren't the words that Rory wanted to hear. She just didn't understand that he had never been in a relationship before and he didn't know what to do. There were procedures that were learned through past relationships and none of his lasted; they were all physical…he did warn her that he wasn't the boyfriend type.

"So, I met your girlfriend."

"That's nice, Gwen."

"She doesn't seem to want anything to do with you."

"I think that's your fault."

"My fault?! Walker's the one who told her that she slept with you."

"and you added to it. Did you tell her about the bet with Tristan when we were kids too? Did you make Rory think that I'm a slut and that she can't trust me?"

"How was I supposed to know she didn't know anything? You and Tristan haven't talked in years. Besides, I'm not here to talk about your girlfriend…"

"I'm not drunk enough to talk about that…"

"Your head is in the toilet, I think you're pretty damn drunk. Look…you two were best friends; he's only in town for a few days. Why don't you drop those deadbeats for a day and talk to Tristan."

"No. and that's the end."

"That's too bad."

Gwen walked out of the apartment making sure to keep it unlocked and went down to her car. She returned a few minutes later dragging her younger brother into Logan's apartment. Tristan noticed Logan in the bathroom and the first words he said were "wow, some things never change."
