I want to thank DaleEllen! You sound like a sweetheart thanks for taking the time to review!

Can I just get a review every chapter? Feedback is very very helpful and encouraging!

On to the story...

"We've been spotted mates," Finn said sighing and smiling at Shira, as he, Colin and Logan made their way to her.

Logan and Colin had been friends since they were in diapers; their nannies went to the same indoor play areas. Around seventh grade, the boys were sitting outside the Dean's office at a boarding school in Australia when an obnoxious boy walked by following the dean talking back proficiently. That boy was no other than the one and only Finn, who became instant friends with the Logan and Colin. In fact after all three got kicked out, Finn begged to follow them to the next boarding schools they caused disaster at.

Finn's family, the Rothschild's, owned world renowned hotels and were just as rich as Logan's family, and just shy of Colin's, the McCrae's. The Rothschilds weren't from old money, but were recognized in Hartford society as elite because of the status they had reached.

-SHIRA & LOGAN & COLIN & FINN & EMILY-

"Hello mother,"

"Hello Mrs. Huntzberger" Collin followed.

"You look lovely," Finn added.

"But if you'll excuse us, we're going to meet Collin's new stepmom" Finn continued before Shira could start the endless string of questions she always had. He looked towards Logan, silently apologizing for leaving him alone.

"Thank you boys and of course, I'll catch up with her myself soon."

Collin sighed and walked away with Finn to meet maybe his sixth new stepmother.

Hartford society was picture perfect. But that's all it was. Picture perfect. Husbands didn't love wives. Parents weren't very fond of their children. Children were primarily had as future heirs to their legacy. Maybe just the child, if it was a male- there's no reason to keep having more offspring. Families were broken at best. But, to society, to the public, to the world, every Hartford family was absolutely perfect.

"Logan honey, this is Emily Gilmore"

"Hello, you look lovely as well" Logan said placing a kiss on her hand.

"Oh you're quite the charmer"

"Her granddaughter is your fiancé" Shira continued seamlessly.

"What." Logan said instantly dropping Emily's hand.

Both women shared a look and chuckled a bit.

"Sweetheart, you've known about her for four years now, why do you looked so shocked?"

"Yeah well"

"She doesn't know about you yet. Though, I'd love to have you meet her she's over-" Emily said.

"She- she's here?" Logan interpreted blocking out the rest.

"Yes, she's with your father and Richard right now" Emily answered smiling.

"Come, I'll introduce you two,"

"Thanks mom, but I'll go myself," Logan said nodding at the woman as a goodbye.

He quickly walked in the direction Finn and Collin had gone. If he was going to meet the woman he was to marry, he needed his friends to help him be rational and not imagine her as an ugly hag- if she wasn't.

-RORY & RICHARD & MITCHUM-

Rory had been happily talking to the men for a couple of minutes by now about pretty much anything.

"I actually wrote about the controversy of the violence in Iraq. For the article I interviewed this incredibly interesting man named-" Rory explained as her phone began ringing.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! If you'll give me a minute.. It's Paris, could be important,"

"Hello?- Yes Paris I'm here. Are you? -You will never believe who I'm talking to- Wow, yeah how'd you know?- Okay? I think- Ok. Bye," Rory said into the phone.

"I hope you don't mind Mr. Huntzberger, Paris wants to introduce herself," Rory said turning back to the men.

"It's no problem. I'd love to meet your friends Lorelai. And please call me Mitchum"

Rory thought that was a bit peculiar, but smiled at how amazing her idol was.

-LOGAN & FINN & COLLIN-

"There you guys are!" Logan said as he took a seat next to Finn and Collin at the bar.

"Well where else would we be after meeting Ariel" Collin said holding his head up with his hands.

"You guys. She's here." Logan said completely ignoring Collin signaling the bartender for a drink.

"Yes we know we just met her," Finn said studying him carefully.

"No! My, uh err-, my fi, haa, fiancé I guess. Though, I haven't actually proposed? I'm not sure how this works."

"WHAT?" both the guys said at the same time one chocking a bit and the other putting his glass down.

"I mean we're arranged to be married. But I haven't asked nor does she have a ring."

"She's here?" Collin spoke after finding his voice.

"oh, yeah. She's talking to my dad now"

"What are we doing here then mate! Let's go!" Finn said getting up.

"Wait, but are you sure you want to see her Logan? What if she's worse than we thought?"

"You mean someone worse than Hairy Haley?" Finn said referring to a girl they had named Hairy Haley and assigned as Logan's fake future wife.

Hairy Haley was this girl they saw buying tuna sandwiches daily, visible from their usual table. This girl was very hairy, everywhere and never cared to shave or whatever. All her arms, legs, even her face was engulfed with hair but she always had a new date, which said something to the three men, especially with the tuna breath she was bound to have.

"Yeah, well why else would a rich well off girl need to be arranged married to Logan, the biggest playboy on this half of the county, probably continent too"

"I didn't think of that." Logan said after a few moments of silence.

"Way to ruin the fun mate" Finn said rolling his eyes at Collin.

"Can we at least go see her figure? What if she's taller than Logan?" Finn continued hoping they'd agree.

"Well, if she is then she is… But I'm curious," Logan caved.

Finn happily led them towards Mitchum.

-Author's Note-

How is Logan gonna feel about Rory? Will they get along? Or…?

Let me know what you think will happen? What do you want to happen?

Much love -PS
