I am back. I hope I can get an update of all my stories now that I am on winter break. Logan should have told Rory earlier, but he becomes mad at Rory and rightly so. I love Rory, but she can be an idiot. These new two chapters are the fall out of Lorelai's plan and how she pulled it off.

Rory was excitedly getting dressed for her date with Logan. She hoped the brown Marc Jacob knock off dress would do the trick. Rory was in the midst of thinking of what she jewelry she should wear when she heard her phone ring. She groaned when she saw the familiar number, she was not ready to tell her mom about Logan she did not want to start another rift.

"Hi"

"Hey, I was wondering if you could come over for a movie night tonight. " Lorelai did not want to tell Rory she knew all about her date with Logan. However, she felt maybe Rory would tell Lorelai about her date and she could talk Rory out of dating Logan again.

"I would love to, but I have to drop my article off at the paper, and then I have plans. " Rory tried to emphasize the word plans.

"What plans?" Lorelai hoped she wasn't over eager, she did not want to give away her plans.

"Mom, I don't want to jinks them it's something new…" She hoped her mom would understand the innuendo.

"I understand are they with Marty? I'm so glad you're getting back together with him. He really loved our movie nights. "She hoped reminding her daughter of Marty would get Rory to think on who she left behind.

"No not with Marty, I know you really loved him. I don't think our relationship was meant to be. He did not support my choices this summer." Rory said she hoped she did not sound cold, she did still have some anger at Lorelei for not speaking to her. Although, Rory tried to suppress those feelings she was miserable not talking to Lorelei.

"Honey, you were out of school and working for Grandma. You knew they were wrong, after all you went back. "Her mother did have a point, but Rory did not like to be pushed into decisions she did not want to do.

"I don't think he wants me back, and I kind of want to try something new." She hoped her mother would understand that she wanted to move on.

"Something new, would I like him?"

Rory took a deep breath. "If you got to know him you would he's sweet, funny, and really smart. He's actually a lot smarter than me, if you really believe that. "Rory found herself smiling, as she stated all of Logan's endearing qualities.

Oh god her daughter was gushing and Lorelei needed to move that. "Well he sounds wonderful, is he rich?"

Rory couldn't tell if Lorelei was joking or not. "What do you mean?"

"I am just worried, rich guys tend to think they are so entitled. I just would not feel comfortable with you dating one. I don't want our relationship strained again.

"What you really wouldn't feel comfortable if I dated someone rich. I mean just because you have money doesn't mean you're bad." Rory almost felt you get angry.

"You're I'm sorry. I guess the question I need to ask can you really trust this guy.

Rory thought about it she still did not trust Logan completely. He could be reckless at times. "I don't know mom, were just starting something new."

"Well honey, you better make sure you do because if you don't Rory you'll end up hurt. I don't want us to fight again over a guy who is not worth it."

Her mother had a point she still could not completely trust Logan, and she was scared that if she and Logan failed so would her relationship with her mother. Her mother would never like Logan, and she wouldn't speak to her if they dated. Rory could not handle losing her mother and Logan at the same. Her mind was full with such doubt.

Logan was going to tell Rory about Lorelai the night of their date. However, what Rory did not later on that night made him so mad at her. It really hurt Logan that for the second time, she had succumbed to her mother's opinion. Logan knew she wouldn't have gotten back to Marty, if her mother had not been so adamantly insistent. He could forgive her when she ended their arrangement, he could understand not trusting him at the time. However, the second time was too painful for him to give her a second chance. He still wondered if she only asked him to meet here tonight to get back at her mother.

Rory walked into the dressing room. The room looked exactly the same, as it did five years ago in its gold and pink shades. She saw Logan sitting there in his suit he looked almost the same as he five years ago. Only older and wiser, she was such a full to not see that he wouldn't always be the boy, who did not want commitment.

"Hey' Rory said as she sat next to him.

Logan turned to look at her god she was beautiful. For a moment, he wanted to forget his anger and his doubts. "No champagne, this time." He teased.

Rory laughed lightly. "I was so mad at my mother, I forgot." Rory stopped herself for she had she just brought the elephant in her room.

Logan felt he had to say something before he and Rory got into a situation, where they could not control themselves. "Rory, I am not someone to get back at your mom, if that's the reason you wanted to talk to me tonight."

"What makes you think this has to do with my Mom? I came to tell you that I had some fears about you the day you agreed to be my boyfriend. I was scared that you would get tired and go back to your old ways. I wish I could blame my mom from them, but the truth is Logan I cared about you so much and I could not handle the hurt if we did not work out. I was a mess when you didn't call, and I did not how to act if we ever broke up. However, from what I witnessed I was wrong not to take that chance, because one thing I noticed about you is you don't back away from thing you really want. I am really sorry I doubted you Logan. "

"Rory I appreciate your apology. I forgave you for not being my girlfriend then, hell I can understand you not trusting me then. I knew my track record was not that great then, and I can even argue I needed time to grow up. However, what I can't comprehend is in my senior year, when you came back to school; you were so set to give us a chance, and we had a great dinner the night we saved the paper. However, the minute Mommy calls you to come home, you later call me that you tell me you're getting back together with Marty. What was the deal Rory?"

Rory knew she had really screwed up that night, but her mother call had gotten inside her head. "Logan. I am sorry and I regret but those doubts came back again. I just didn't know if we were worth it…

"Worth what Rory? Your relationship with your mother? Why did you care about her opinion so much our relationship was never hers' to speculate if it was wrong or right?"

It never ceased to amaze her how Logan knew her so well. However, she had this need to not prove him wrong stubborn was apparently a bad Gilmore family trait. . "Oh what do you know Logan, you're not close with your parents."

"Wow, that's really mature Rory. At least I don't hold their opinion to high esteem, and not afraid of disappointing them. At least I was not with someone just too please my mother, and I swear my mother had a hundred girls she wanted me to date.

"That's not true, I did care about him. "

"Rory it doesn't matter if you did or not. She's always had a strong influence on you, and I hate the way she underhandedly ruins your happiness." Logan had just realized she said too much.

Rory looked at Logan. Yes, her mom did guide her to some bad choices, but ruin happiness. "Logan, what are you talking about…?"

"Rory look I am sorry, your right I am not close to my parents I should not say anything else." Logan rambled on he really did not want to tell her like this after an argument.

"Logan look I know I was mad earlier, but if there is something you need to tell me I want to know. "

"Rory it will really turn your world upside down. I can't do this to you." Logan pleaded one more time.

Rory looked at him she was done with not discussing the things that happened in the past. She needed all lines of communication right now. She did not know when she and Logan would have a chance to speak like this again. "Logan I think the reason I doubted you so much is I never shared what bothered me with you. I did not tell you my fears, when you asked me to be my boyfriend. Who knows maybe you could have swayed them. I did not tell you, how I was afraid to lose my relationship with Lorelai the second time. Our lack of communication cost us a chance to be an us, and I really believe we need to let all information out. I am really sorry about the second time Logan, I really should have thought of us more, and not me and Lorelai. "Rory reached for his hand, and he slowly caressed hers.

" Thank you Rory and I are sorry for unleashing all that on you. The second time really hurt me, and there is another reason for it. Are you sure you want to hear about it?"

Rory slowly nodded. Logan took a deep breath, and slowly told Rory about Lorelai's visit.

Rory needed a good kick in the pants, she was horrible to Logan. You'll find her even more horrible in the next chapter's flashback. However, you'll get a good Lorelai/Rory showdown.
