Everything will be ok.
Logan woke to the loud ringing of his phone. He looked at his clock, 5:17am why would someone be calling him at this hour. He leaned over and looked at the caller id. His father. He ran his hand through is hair and reluctantly he picked up the phone.
"Hello"
"Logan, son, how are you?"
"Id better if I was sleeping, or if I was home with Rory"
"Are we still arguing about this?"
"Yes we are and we will be for a very long time, why are you calling at 5:19 in the morning?"
"What are you talking about Logan? It's almost 11:30"
"Oh I don't know dad have you ever heard of a thing called time difference?"
"Sorry about that son it must have slipped my mind" he heard his father laugh and felt the sudden urge to punch something, preferably his father.
"I'm sure it did. Now what were you calling for?"
"Right, I called to check to see if Brittany had left your schedule for the day?"
"I believe I saw a schedule around here somewhere and who is Brittany?"
"Your Secretary" Mitchum stated simply as if it was the most obvious thing In the world.
"Ah yes I should of known"
"Well that is all I called for, you should get some sleep your day starts at 12. I suggest you don't screw up, I'm sure you would hate to be in London any longer than a year. I will talk to you later. Bye Logan."
"Bye Dad" Logan quickly replied and hung up the phone, before turning over and getting some sleep before his first day started.

Logan woke around 9 and got out of bed. He still had a little over 2 hours until he had to make his way to the London office. He took a quick shower and went into the kitchen to look at the schedule, he saw on the counter top the previous night. He picked up the paper and began to read:
Monday, June 5th 2006
12:00- Meet with Secretary, Brittany Lacoste.
12:30- Tour of London Office.
1:30- Meet with Employees.
2:00- Review the Office's Previous Records.
4:00- Meeting with Manager, Eric Neilson.
5:00- 30 minute Break
5:30- Meeting with Editor, David Warner
6:30- Meeting with Chief of Staff, Michael Leery.
Logan sighed he was not looking forward to his first day. He looked at the time and decided to call Rory. He grabbed a bottle of water out of the refrigerator and walked to the couch and sat down. He dialed her number and waited for her to answer.
"Hello" she sounded distracted.
"Hey, you sound busy"
"I am"
"I can call you back later if you want"
He heard her laugh as she spoke to someone in the background "No that's ok, I have time for you before I finish my article."
"I see you are at the paper"
"Yes, I'm done here soon and then I'm going to the apartment to change. Colin and Finn came by this morning and there taking me out for drinks at 6:30"
"Finn was up in the morning?" he asked laughing at the though of Finn being up before the sun went down.
"I know that's what I thought too, He said it was now his duty to get up and take care of his best friends girl no matter what hour"
"Well at least he has good reasoning"
"So did you ask them to take care of me?"
Logan laughed he knew she would ask "No I didn't, Finn being the loving person he is told me he and Colin would take care of you before I got to ask him"
"That's sweet, so what are you doing today?"
"Oh you know first day at the paper, meeting with secretary, tour of office, meet employees, review records, meet manager, meet editor, meet chief of staff" he said as he once again ran down the list of things he had to do today.
"Sounds like fun" she replied sarcastically.
"I know" he replied in a equally sarcastic tone.
"Have you talked to your dad since you've left?"
"He called me this morning, 5:17 to be exact apparently he forgot about the 6 hour time difference"
She laughed "I'm sure he did"
Logan looked at his watch and decided he better get ready for his day or he would be late. "I have to get ready ace, so I will talk to you later"
"Ok will you call tonight?"
"I wont get home until between 7 and 7:30 but I will call if you want, what time will that be there?"
"Between 1 and 1:30, call I don't care what time I want to hear about your first day. I'm going to Stars Hollow tomorrow so I can rest up there if I'm tired"
"Sure thing ace I will talk to you later tonight. Have fun with Colin and Finn. I love you"
"Have a good day Logan, I love you" Logan heard the phone click and got ready for his day. He looked at the clock it read 11:15 the limo should be waiting downstairs. Logan checked to make sure he had all that he needed, briefcase, phone and his keys. He headed out the door, and off to his first day of work.
Here's the second chapter, it's up sooner then I expected. It's a little shorter then the first one I think but it will get longer once I get the hang of this and get the story going.
For the time difference I decided that I will have New Haven be 6 hours ahead of London. I know it's not like that but just go with it.
Oh yeah and when I say she's at the paper I mean Stamford Eagle Gazette. (when school starts it will be the Yale Daily News)
I have a site on my profile page where you can get updates on the story if anyone is interested.
