To explain one thing before you read this chapter. Unlike in the show, Mitchum doesn't push Logan to join the family business of the newspaper. Logan decided to do a different career and became a cop. However he is still expected to do things the way society sees fit. Later on in the story due to certain situations he might change careers again. Also for the readers who read the story before, please do not worry Rory will end up pregnant at some point just not quite yet. We need to get them through their first years of college and have them secure in jobs they both love first. On with the story!

(It's the next morning and the couple is rudely awoken by the ringing of their house phone.)
(his voice slightly horse) Logan: Hello?
Shira: Hello, it's your mother, is Rory there?
Logan: Of course she is, but she's asleep right now what do you need?
Shira: If you don't mind too much waking her up, I want to ask her about the engagement party.
Logan: Mom, we've only been engaged for a whole of three days, does the party planning really have to start now?
Shira: Logan, believe me, I don't want to start the planning of it either just yet. However, you know how Emily is.
Logan: No need to say anymore. Hang on one second.
(he gently wakes up his wife and hands her the phone) Rory: Who is it?
Logan: It's my mother.
(sighs) Rory: Hello, Shira how are you doing?
Shira: I'm doing great? How about you?
Rory : A little tired, not to sound rude but did you call for a certain reason?
Shira: Yes, your grandmother called me earlier today and she wants the two of us to throw us a society engagement party.
Rory: But Shira, you know I don't like doing those type of functions.
Shira: I know that you don't want to sweety, but Emily is insisting that we have one anyway. Please, just humor her. So what should I tell her?
Rory: That there shouldn't be anymore then 20 to thirty people family and closest friends. Because if there are more than that it just gets too stuffy and awkward for the one's who don't know each other. The color scheme is silver and midnight blue. O, we should probably have Sookie make the cake too!
Shira: That sounds like the perfect party right there. I will give her the details later on today, and then get back to on what all is actually going to happen. How does that sound?
Rory: That sounds great. So I will talk to you later on today?!
Shira: You sure will. Bye
Rory: Bye
(she hangs up the phone and decides to get out of bed) Logan: Baby, where are you going? It's only 9:30 in the morning.
(getting changed into a pair of Yale sweet pants, and a pink short sleeve shirt) Rory: Because, we need to go shopping today, as well as try to avoid my grandmother's calls for at least the morning.
Logan: That sounds like a good idea. Let's go.
(he grabs a pair of comfy clothes, he gets dressed, grabs them hot tea, then they hit a few shops buying things here and there that they like. They are now sitting down to lunch at Cheeseburger In Paradise, when Rory's cell phone rings)
Rory: Hello
Emily: Rory, you've been avoiding my calls all morning, haven't you?
Rory: I haven't been avoiding you grandma, Logan and I have been shopping and now we are at lunch. Anyway, what do you need?
Emily: You like orange right?
Rory: Of course I like orange. Why do you ask though?
Emily: For the engagement party of course.
Rory: But grandma don't these types of parties usually follow the them of the wedding? Which are silver and midnight blue.
(Logan looks at his fiancée with his usual smirk)
(laughs a little) Emily: That's an excellent point there, Rory. But I still want to do a more summer like color then winter.
Rory: Grandma, no offense but this is our party not your's to change around the way you want it to be. Please just go with the theme of blue and silver and have Sookie make the cake. Okay, that's all I'm asking for, you can change anything else but those two things alright? Is there anything else
Emily: No, Shira called about an hour ago telling me everything else, so have a great day and see you soon, Rory.
Rory: Okay, wait if Shira told you all of the details already, why did you ask about colors then?
Emily: I just wanted to make sure that's what you really wanted.
(shakes her head) Rory: Good bye, grandma.
(she hangs up the phone and goes back to lunch) Logan: So do you think that she will actually respect your wishes?
Rory: I don't know, only time will tell. Do you think that you'll want to come to the party?
Logan: I will most likely be there since it's an engagement party for the both of us!
(they laugh together) Rory: That's an excellent point there.
Logan: Figured it was.
Rory: Alright, well how about we go hang out with your brothers tonight, and that way you can invite them at the same time you invite the rest of the guys.
Logan: That's a brilliant idea. How about Paris?
Rory: What do you mean?
(he pays for lunch and they are now taking a walk in the park) Logan: Are her and Finn still in town?
Rory: Of course they are. They don't leave until the middle of October
Logan: O, that's good.
Rory: Sure is. Actually I was thinking maybe we should throw them a going away party.
Logan: I think that they would really enjoy and appreciate that.
Rory: Really?
Logan: Yeah, of course.
(they hang out at the part until 3:30, and then go to Shira and Mitchum's house. Mitchum opens the door.)
Logan: Hey, Dad how's it going?
(they hug) Mitchum: Pretty good. It's been a while since we've seen you.
(Rory and him hug as well) Rory: Sorry it's been so long but we've been rather busy, with our jobs, shopping, and avoiding Emily.
(they all laugh) Mitchum: Well that's a job in itself. What is she trying to do now?
(he asks this while walking through the dining room to go to the living room, where Shira is sitting at)
Logan: She wants her and Mom to throw us a society engagement party in a few weeks.
Mitchum: Are you sure this a good thing?
Shira: Of course I do, if I didn't I wouldn't have agreed to do it.
Mitchum: Okay, I just wanted to make sure that everyone wanted this, and that it wasn't just Emily's idea.
(Rory and Shira share a little giggle) Shira: You worry far too much.
Logan: Honey, do you need anything to drink or eat?
Rory: Cheeseburger, French fries, and a glass of ice tea would be great sweety. Thank you so much.
Logan: It's my pleasure.
(he goes into the kitchen, his mother follows) Shira: Are you okay Logan? You seem a little distant tonight.
Logan: I'm thinking of joining dad's company.
Shira: Excuse me?
Logan: It has better health benefits, and it pays more money. Also, in the long run it is a much safer job.
Shira: Does Rory know about this?
Rory: Do I know about what?
