Disclaimer: Still don't own anything…..just the thought's in my head…or now on your computer screen
A/N: Thanks guys for all the WONDERFUL reviews. They really help a lot! Just to clear up any confusion…I got my idea for this story off of one of Illusive's challenges. So that's why the prank is not a prank. Well, here ya go!! Enjoy!
As Rory walked back towards her dorm, unexpected thoughts filled her head. One would expect her to be completely irate and formulating a plan, but she couldn't seem to get Logan out of her head. She unconsciously placed a hand on her cheek where the skin was still tingling. Despite the cold temperatures outside, her body was very warm. She didn't understand how one minute he could be so irritating and then the next make her feel like this…confused and warm.
Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard her phone ring. "Rory's house of confusion and the betrothed, how can I direct your call?"
"Fruit of my loins, is that you?"
"Hey mom."
"What's up with the greeting?"
"What's up? Definitely not my life…"
"Why the sadness kiddo?
"I'll tell you in a little while, I'm coming early…meet you at Luke's?"
"Sure. I think I'll go ahead and go over there. Maybe I can get so…"
"Eww, mom! Dirty…go ahead and go. Just don't tell me why."
"Aw, spoil sport! See ya in a few."
After leaving a note for Paris, (she was spending more and more time with Doyle these days…thankfully at his place) Rory made her way to Stars Hollow.
Upon entering the diner, Rory noticed her mom at a table with an awaiting cup of coffee. "Mmm…the elixir of life…"
"What can I say? I raised my offspring well," Lorelei said while hugging her daughter. "Sit, drink…be merry!"
Rory noticed the perkiness in her mother's voice. "Obviously someone has had their dirty quota filled for the day. Do tell how you got Luke to leave his precious diner mid-day?" she asked while taking her first sip of heaven.
"Oh, we Gilmore girls have our ways. Just wait, you'll learn how to use them someday, young padwan."
"As great as that sounds, master Obi-Wan, we have greater problems on our hands than teaching me how to get men in my bed."
"Nothing, my child, is more important than having a man in your bed, besides coffee that is."
"Mom!"
"Okay, okay. What's troubling you my sweets?"
"Brace yourself."
"Oh no…is this a brace yourself like the time you told me you heard Kirk running around town telling people I was having his child?"
"Worse…."
"Woah…seeing that NOTHING is worse than the thought of having Kirk's babies, I think we're gonna need more coffee soon. Oh sweet bottom?!"
Lorelei knew Luke didn't like her flirting with him while he was working, but he was extremely sexy when she aggravated him. "What Lor? You know I hate that name!"
"I know, I know. But I can't help it. Ever since Sookie accidentally groped your wonderful bottom at the inn one day, I haven't been able to stop staring." Lorelei threw him a playful wink.
Yuck Rory thought to herself. "Can we please get more coffee so I can go on. This is HUGE mom…I can't wait anymore."
"Fine. Fine. Coffee please."
"Coming up," Luke shouted over his shoulder as he headed back to the counter.
"Ok, out with it. I'm as braced as I'll ever be."
"I'm engaged."
"You're what?!" Lorelei exclaimed as coffee spewed from her mouth. "All the bracing in the world couldn't prepare me for that!"
"It seems Logan's prank didn't go unnoticed. We are now arranged to be married…per request by the lovely Richard and Emily, and of course the Huntzberger's as well."
Lorelei couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her parents went too far this time. Trying to force her with Chris was one thing, but Rory…you mess with the bull, you get the horns! "They can't do this to you! Don't worry babe, we'll fix this tonight."
Rory managed a smile. She always could count on her mother and was very grateful for that right now.
When Rory and her mother arrived at the elder Gilmore's house, they noticed a couple of unknown cars parked out front, also, a dark pool house.
"What the…?"
"I was thinking the exact same thing, Ror. We aren't going to get our answers standing out here in the cold. Let's go."
As Rory rang the doorbell, the last person she expected to see answered it.
"Hey Ace, you look beautiful this evening." He leaned forward to place, yet again, another kiss to her cheek.
Damn Huntzberger! Rory thought as her stomach fluttered.
A/N: I know, mini cliffhanger AND short! But rest assured, the next chapter will make up for it and I'm going to try my hardest to post it tonight! I won't have time tomorrow more than likely so I'm giving you two today. Plus, the next chapter has lot's of goodness in it. I'm really enjoying it so far! Review please! I love them!
