AN: Sorry that it has been so long, I was grounded from the computer for yelling at my mom, even though she was yelling at me too, and of course she has too be off the whole week, and makes it so I can't type, and I have finals. So, I have no idea how often or when I'll update over winter break, but once I get back to school after winter break, there should be some kind of regularity to it.

Thanks to my reviewers Disclaimer: I own nothing

Chapter 7

Girl's Night

Rory and Lane arrived at Steph's about 9:45, and she quickly ushered them to her room and locking the door. "Just in case, I'm pretty sure the guys are out doing guy things, meaning getting drunk and look for a girl, but I bet they think about crashing this," Steph said.

"Oh yeah, I got a call from Logan during dinner at my grandparent's house, Colin know you stole his card," Rory added as she settled on a bed with Land beside her.

"Logan called you for that?"

"No, Paris thinks he needs a babysitter for his article, and I'm the best she's got."

"Ok speaking of Logan……"

"And the night is off. I can't do this without music, Lane?"

"On it, I love your stereo system, Steph" Lane said as she stood in front of it finding her good CDs.

"Thanks, ok back to my topic, do you like Logan?"

"Blunt much?"

"Come on Rory, answer the question," Lane said, then turned to Steph, "Do you have any picture, so I have a face with a name?"

"Yeah," Steph got up and rummaged around her dresser, "So Gilmore, answer the question."

"I feel like I'm in court."

"Stop stalling," Steph came back over, "Here's some albums from this summer, he's the blonde."

"Ooooh, I want to see," Rory looked over Lane's shoulder.

"Gilmore stop stalling!" Steph barked.

"Geez, that was an excellent impression of Paris, and I'll say that Logan is…………interesting."

"Interesting?"

"Ummmmm," Rory thought, and then lit up, "Can I quote Shrek?" Lane and Steph nodded, "He has, I feel like an idiot, he has layers, I think. Like he has many personalities."

"Oh, do tell more of this revelation."

"It's not a revelation. I've just seen his in different Logans the first few times I saw him. Like the first time I saw him in the hospital, which I am guessing not long after Honor was let in, I swear I saw him crying for a second."

"Huntz doesn't cry, ever, not all the years I've known him," Steph cut in.

"Yeah, I got that impression too after I met him and go to know him. So like the first time I met him he could have been crying in that form of Logan, but he didn't want any one to see it. So I think that was the one time he let anyone see who Logan Huntzberger really was when no one is around. He seemed kinda raw without his usual, cocky, without a care, playboy cover-ups.

"But then I saw him at my grandparent's house and he played the part of the perfect society son. Everything obviously very fake to me. He did the whole small talk thing and was in the synchrony with his parent of the perfect family, with fake smiles in tow.

"Then I met him again at the hospital again and I got a little bit of the first Logan I met and the playboy Logan at school who I met later. And who we all see today."

"How is there difference between who we know and who you know? I've known Logan for a really long time and have never seen the person you just described," Steph was curious.

"He hides it, and boy does he hide it well. And there are very subtle differences, which I can't tell you, but I can point them out. If here I would point out to here if he was indeed here, but you'll have to wait. The more I see him at school the more I believe that my imagination was playing tricks on me at the hospital, or that who I saw was just how the playboy Logan dealt with disaster, and he would have acted the same way if any of you were there. But then I doubt that when I get another peak into his life this afternoon, into real him again, but he so much security around him so no one would know."

"What happened?" Lane asked and Steph nodded vigorously.

"He was in the newsroom working with the door locked so no one would know he was working. Like he thought it was a bad thing to be working. I wanted to work on my article, but then door was locked so I walked around the outside and looked in the window to him diligently typing away."

"Really? I have never seen Huntz work, not even to pick up a girl," Steph said, "I think we should alert the media."

"You will after my next piece of insight, and then it is off to something else because I'm tired of this subject."

"Ok what is this?"

"Who Logan Huntzberger just might really be."

"Please do tell!"

"I think that Logan is always trying to forgot about what the last thing his father berated him about, and what his mother didn't care about. I think that really, really gets to him."

"And his grandfather, Elias, is really into old-fashion ways and doesn't like how Logan runs his life," Steph cut in, "Please continue."

"I think that it just really gets under his skin when his parents fail to care. He told me that all he really wanted was for his parents to show up and care about that Honor was is the hospital. But goes and covers it all up by being a playboy, screwing around with you, Colin, and Finn, and not doing what Mitchum wants, first not to think about his life, second so you guys will continue to like him and remain friends and lastly he thinks that if he screws up bad enough, maybe, just maybe, he might get attention from his parents. Though he wishes he get better affection from them than hate, but rather love, but since he can't get that I think almost anything will do.

"And I think that his greatest desire would be for Mitchum to say he did a good job, or he was proud of something Logan did. He would play it off as though he didn't care that much, but on the inside he would be on cloud nine, totally ecstatic. I think that would make him the happiest he could ever be, as of right now.

"Then my last thing is I think that he has had his heart broken once or twice, by either a girl or just one too many time by his parents. Which would be why he's a playboy, because he doesn't what anyone to get attached, especially himself. And remember everything I just said was guesswork, and finished! Wait and this one last thing I think he never shows emotion and let's everything slide because it is easier to him not to show the emotion than to show it, not finished."

"Ok wow, first and now, wow," Steph said, and Lane nodded.

"Kinda depressing," Lane said.

"And to get over that depressing moment, what are we going to do?" Steph asked.

"Movie?" Lane said.

"Nope, those are later, I mean the boys always pull some stupid stunt at the beginning of the school year, and even stupider if it is a new school. Now that I have my own army, so to speak, we can out do them. And I can fulfill my life long dreams. So I think I over heard them earlier today, with a when and where, but I didn't get a what," Steph explained.

"So did you get?" Rory asked, she was really getting it to this.

"Wednesday at 10:37, in the English hallway. Makes sense that is the class we just had, all of us together."

"We should do something now and small so they think that it is our stunt and they can easily out do us," Rory said, "Because I bet they are betting on us doing something too, then we can so something much better on Thursday"

"Where did Stars Hollow Rory go? And where did this new Rory come from, your mom would be so proud, you are sitting here planning trouble," Lane said patting her on the back.

"One word to answer all of that: Chilton," Rory said and they all laughed.

"Ok so down to business. So something small. Ok what is everyone's favorite color? Mine's pink," Steph said.

"Blue and why" Rory asked.

"Green," Lane added.

"I figure painting a few things, locker and such small," Steph said acting innocent, "But we have to wait till Sunday night because some teachers work on Saturday, and the Saturday detention there too maybe."

"Both of which do happen at Chilton," Rory said, and then turned to Lane, "Think you can sneak out?"

"Yeah,"

"Why?" Steph asked confused.

"If her mom ran a school, you Colin, Logan and Finn would be kicked out before you even got in to the school from the parking lot," Rory explained.

"Strict mom, not cool," Steph made a face.

"What mama doesn't know won't hurt her, hopefully," Lane smiled.

"Oh, idea. Maybe instead of a really big stunt, that we would more likely get caught in, we should sandwich their stunt between two kinda big stunts," Rory got excited," And I'm an editor. Ok thousands of thought running through my mind. Steph do you have baby picture, and embarrassing photos of the boys?"

"Yeah, and I can get some also from their mom, I'll say it is for a scrap book or something like that."

"Ok we could totally run some in the Franklin. Paris would never expect me to do something like that and we can make a cover for Logan Wednesday night, because that is when it goes to the printers."

"I like where your head is at Gilmore," Stephanie proudly said.

"I have about a billion running through my head at the moment," she said modestly.

"Want to give the sister some more insight into that pretty little head of yours?" Lane asked.

"Ok some suck and they won't make sense it they tumble out too fast, but here it goes. One was going to their house and borrowing with out asking some of their boxers and embarrassing clothes and hanging them around school. Another was paint all the teachers door with nicknames for the teacher or a code name for us, but all jumbled up so no one would know what is was. Let's see another was blacking out all the lights then putting random desks in the middle of the hallway, but in a pattern so Steph and I could navigate. One would be to cover all the walls, floors, lockers, chairs, and or desks with something really sticky and," Rory said.

"Ok hold the horses, we get your point and you have lived way too long with Lorelai," Lane said holding up her hands, "And how can you be so sure that it is Wednesday that they are doing it, we don't want to do them the wrong day."

"I heard this conversation from around the corner. 'So the plan is totally ready for Wednesday?' Colin said of course, mister prepared. 'Yeah mate, what time is it again?' Finn obviously. ' 10:37, and the girls know nothing?' Colin again. 'Of course not, they are so wrapped up in their girl's night, and it is that time, because that is when the girls will get out of English, and us too, but we are skipping to get set up. And I think that we should crash their little get together.' Logan, so yet another plus to the lock. Then they walk away and I run away to find you, but you had already left," Steph explained.

"What if they just overheard everything I just said?" Rory looked concerned, they were pretty good ideas for her.

"It's not late enough for Finn to be drunk enough that Colin and Logan could drag him off. And my room is practically soundproof, the only way they could her from the outside was if you had been screaming it at the very top of your lungs," Steph said.

"Soundproof? Really, now why would you need that?" Rory asked suggestively.

"Well………"Steph started.

"I don't want to know actually," Rory cut her off.

"Then why did you ask? Ok so I totally like the baby picture idea, and the boxer one. So tomorrow we need to get some really cute spy clothes.

"Definitely," Rory agreed as Lane nodded.

The girls quickly pinpointed all the details that night, before settling in to watch The Notebook to start off their movie marathon. But it didn't get too far. Around one in the morning there was a knock on Steph's door. None of the got up, and the person knocked again. "Did you lock after the maid came in with more snacks?" Rory asked.

"Nope, we hid Colin's card right?"

"In my socks under my bed's mattress," Rory said.

"It's open!" Lane said loudly, "Wait they can't hear, I feel stupid."

"Blonde moment, I have them all the time," Steph said. Steph's phone rang. "Hello?" she answered, on speakerphone.

"Why can't we get your door open, love?" Finn's voice carried throughout the room.

All the girls laughed, "Because, this is a girl's night Finny, not a girls and boys night," Rory giggled.

"We could make it one, love," Finn continued.

There was a noise as the phone obviously changes hands, "Steph, where is my credit card?" Came Colin's voice, and the girls could hear Finn muttering in the background.

"Isn't it in your wallet," Steph played dumb.

"No, it's not, I know you took it."

"No you must have lost it," Steph said as Rory and Lane tried not to burst out laughing.

"Please let us in, we're bored," Came Logan's voice.

"I thought I left it unlocked, have you guys tried the door?" Steph asked.

"Yes, you must have locked it, please let us in, we need something to do," Logan pleaded again.

"Go to sleep," Lane offered.

"Who's that," the boys asked together.

"My friend Lane," Rory answered.

There was a collective "oh" from the boy's side.

"Are we on speakerphone," Steph asked.

"Are we?" Finn asked.

"I asked first."

"I asked second."

"Yes."

"Yes, to you too then."

"You never answered me. Will you unlock the door and let us in?" Logan tried yet again.

"I gave you the answer of go to sleep," Lane repeated.

"Finn has had not one but two energy drinks along with tons of alcohol, we are not going to sleep anytime soon," Logan said.

"And they were good!" Finn added.

"Should we?" Steph looked at Rory and Lane, who both nodded, "Well the answer is a yes, hold on one sec." Steph hung up her phone as she went to let them in.

"Where is it?" was the first thing they heard as Colin started to look for his card around the room.

"Can't you pick a lock, Logan?" Steph asked, and Logan nodded, "Then why didn't you pick that one?"

"Didn't have a paper clip, and I didn't feel like finding one," Logan said smirking.

"So what are we doing?" Finn asked as he settled himself between Rory and Lane, "And who are you my fellow exotic?"

"I'm Lane, from the phone," She said very slowly like she was talking to a small child.

"We need to get drunk! And then play a game, the best games happen when people are the drunkest," Finn declared.

"You're already drunk Finn," Colin said, still searching Steph's room.

"So? I'm the only one."

"Let's just keep it under control," Steph said and everyone came and joined them.

"Then we need alcohol, and I will get it as the king of it," Finn got up and left.

"This is going to be interesting isn't?" Lane asked.

"I'll put it this way, my life has never been boring since meeting Finn," Logan said.

---

An hour later they were all sufficiently drunk, according to Finn.

"We are very, very drunk," slurred Lane.

"Yes we are, and I quit," said Rory as she stood up. She wobbled a bit, then slowly made her way to a bed that was set up for her.

"Come on Rory, come back," They other tried to persuade her.

"No I have had way, way, way too much," Rory slowly shook her head.

"You haven't had even half of what I've had," Steph tried.

"Your fault, not mine, and still way, way, way, too much."

The game and night broken down not long after Rory left.

AN: Ok so I rewrote that chapter, and I kinda like it now. My first handwritten draft was not that good. As I said at the beginning, I'm in finals and will be on winter break soon. I'm not going out of town, but I still don't know how much I will be able to update. Please review. And my next chapter with all the pranks in it is really long, like ten pages handwritten, so it might be a while until I get it up, but be patient. So again, please review, all is greatly appreciated.
