Things were going well for Rory and Logan. They had been together for about a week and everything was fine. The day after the Huntzberger dinner, Logan's father, Mitchem Huntzberger, personally came to YDN to apologize to Rory, for his family's actions the night before. He then went so far as to offer her an internship at one of his local papers. Rory had declined at first, thinking he was giving it to her just because of his wife and fathers actions at dinner. But he convinced her to take the internship, telling her that it was the chance of a lifetime and that she shouldn't care how she got it. She then immediately started looking things up about Mitchem, like that he was second of four children or that he was a Yale undergrad. She was so excited for next Monday because that was when she would start her internship by shadowing Mitchem.

Rory got out of her car, which was parked outside of the Gilmore mansion, walked up to the familiar elegant wood door, and rang the doorbell. A petite blond maid answered it. She then took her coat and told her that her grandparents were in the living room. As Rory walked into the living room, she sighed. "Here we go again, another Friday night dinner." she thought.

"Hello Rory." Emily and Richard said and Rory approached the Living room.

"Hi Grandma! Hi Grandpa!" Rory said as she walked up to her grandparents and embraced them both in a hug.

"How have you been?" Richard asked

"Oh fine Grandpa. I just finished another article for my editor Doyle, just before I left Yale to come here." Rory replied

"Really?" Emily said "What was it on?"

Rory was just about to answer when Richard gave her the usual club soda that she always has at her Grandparent house.

"Thanks Grandpa." Rory said "Actually Grandma it was on the new teacher at Yale.

"Oh yes." Richard replied. "I've heard a lot of wonderful things about him. He sounds very qualified. Has his PhD in chemistry, studied in Germany for three years, taught at a lot of prodigious schools there, even some in Austria and Italy."

"Yes Grandpa that's right." Rory replied.

"Dinner is ready Madame." a French maid said.

"Excellent. Well Richard, Rory, lets all go to the Dining Room. We are having Duck." Emily said standing and starting to walk into the dining room.

After the Duck was served, the three Gilmore's started to talk more about Yale, the paper and Richard's work. There was then a silence as Richard poured himself some more wine.

"I recently got an internship from Mitchem Huntzberger." Rory said proudly

"Oh. That was nice of Logan to get you it." Emily said

"Um, Mitchem Huntzberger gave it to me himself." Rory said

"So how about that, He just called you up, your reputation of excellence proceeded you…"Richard said

"Well he came by Yale actually. I had met him when I had dinner at his house and that…"Rory started to say.

"Dinner? Emily asked, what dinner?"

"The one that Logan took me to…"Rory explained

"At the Huntzberger's house?" Richard asked

"Well, yes."

"When?"

"About a week ago, I guess."

A little while later, Logan was reading a book for a class he was taking in his dorm. He had just gotten to the good part when his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Listen. You're going to get a note from the Gilmore's sometime soon. It maybe in the mail or it maybe hand delivered tonight. For all I know a carrier of pigeons could be flying to your room as we speak. You might want to open your window." Rory said

"Why is a carrier of pigeons heading over here?" Logan asked

"They want to have you for dinner."

"Oh."

"They're flipping out about it. She's sending an apology for being so remiss as to wait one whole week from when I had dinner at your house to extend an invitation. I mean their losing it, so I'm calling to warn you and I want you to know I didn't suggest us having dinner with them or encourage it in any way and I definitely didn't refer to you as my "b" word in front of them or even imply it in any way cause you know I'm really happy with the way things are going and I don't want any pressure put on us and I'm sorry and I think I said that and that's it." Rory rambled

"What are the odds of getting out of this?"

"Pretty much zero."

"Then let's do this."

"Really?"

"Ya, it won't be so bad."

"You are a true gentleman." Rory said relieved

Suddenly Rory heard a slam coming from Logan's phone.

"O my God, what was that."

"Carrier pigeon, poor thing, should have opened the window."

"Not funny."

"Kind of funny."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Rory hung up and went back to her chair in the dinning room and started to pick at her food.

"So did you get a hold of Logan?" Emily asked as she hurried up to Rory with a planner in her hand.

"Yes and he said that he would love to come." Rory exaggerated

"Perfect. Now all we have to do is pick a day. Richard?" Emily called.

"Yes Emily?" Richard said walking up to her from his den with is planning book in his hand.

"He has agreed to come."

"Wonderful." Richard said. "Now about a date."

Richard sat down by Emily and started to talk to each other about appropriate dates.

Rory just put her elbow on the table and leaned against her hand. This was going to be one very long night.
