A/N: Thanks for the reviews, I had fun writing Lia's prank to Colin and Finn. I had that in my head for several days before I was able to write it in. What Gilmore Girl, would think of making them look like Oompa Loompas? Well enjoy, and let me know what you think.
"Finally!!!!!" Lia, Colin, Steph and Finn had yelled, and everyone burst of laughing. Logan had finally gotten the balls to not only ask Rory out, but to admit to his feeling of liking her. Though not entirely, everyone just hoped this worked out for the better.
Rory and Logan just rolled their eyes at their friends, because there being ridiculous over it all. Logan seemed to think, he would have figured it out sooner or later. Forgetting that Rory might not have been able, waiting for him much longer. "What?"
"Seriously Logan, for as long as you and Ry have known each other. There has been a connection, and if Morocco had proved anything at all; you both had feelings for one another too, but you were too stupid to follow through with it. You really need to learn, but I guess that just asking for too much at once." Lia proclaimed nonchalantly, as they group of friends laughed at Logan's expense. It wasn't everyday that Lia made fun of him about his feelings for Rory, in front of all them.
Rory just shook her head at Logan, slightly agreeing with Lia. Logan on the other hand, just let his head hang either in embarrassment or trying to hide his own laughter none of them knew. Steph thought it about time, to speak up herself. Pretty much about relationships, and who was in one and who wasn't. "So how's Marcus, Lia?"
"Steph leave her alone, that isn't fair and you know it." Rory came to Lia's defense, but knowing she didn't have to Lia. Lia was strong enough to deal with her emotions, and taking care of people who are trying to make a point to others in a room. Steph's plan did not go unnoticed by everyone in the room; though she thought she was being sly.
Lia shook her head at Steph, and she knew it was going to come sooner or later. The boys' didn't know though, and Steph couldn't keep her mouth shut when it came to gossip. She was loyal though, God knew how that was possible but apparently it was. "Thanks a lot Steph, I knew it was a good thing telling you all that. Ry don't worry about it, it was eventually going to come out. Though, I would have liked it if it were on my own terms."
"Sorry V, it's just I still think he should have taken you with him." Steph argued in her defense, trying to justify her spilling the beans. Though she didn't really, the boys were still confused about what the girls' were talking about. They looked curiously at how they were acting, and trying to follow everything what was being said.
Rory shook her head at Steph, in her reasoning. There was no way, Marcus should have brought Lia with him, for the mere fact that Lia would have most likely refused. Though Lia was a party girl, and you could see her having more of a good time then studying like Rory, she was very serious about school. "You're losing it Steph, honey. Seriously, they only dated for a month, and they both knew it wasn't serious."
"Who knew it wasn't going to last, what exactly?" Logan ventured into asking the question all the boys, wanted to know. They didn't like be out of the loop, and they were definitely out of the loop here. All they knew was that it had to do with Lia and Marcus. Who had dated for a month, and as far as they knew were going strong. None of the boys liked him, but didn't say anything knowing Lia would still make the final decision.
Steph rolled her eyes at both the boys' and Rory, not believing for a second that Marcus and Lia weren't meant to be together. Especially since Finn wasn't following through with his feelings, and everyone knew it was going to take running over him with a bulldozer to get him to realize it. "MAC's relationship with Marcus, which I find ridicules. I mean they were together for a month, of course they were serious, right Lia?"
"Nope, and I'm over being single again. Can't consciously argue with a family emergency; and knowing how close to his family he is, I'm glad he went home." Lia told Steph, who was only half listening to her. Lia shook her head at Steph, who was oblivious to what she had said. Because she had already figured Lia was going to agree with her.
"See, wait…what?" Steph said realizing that she didn't actually catch what Lia had said, and saw Rory smiling triumphantly at Steph. Of course Rory knew more about how Lia worked, but Steph figured she knew about how she was with Marcus. He was gorgeous, maybe not as good looking as Finn was but he was good. He made Lia smile, of course as she thought about it was never as big as the ones she use to give Finn.
Rory saw the look of realization of what the girls' were talking about; reach the boys' brains when Lia said what she did. Rory knew that Marcus and Lia's relationship was meant to last, not when Lia's heart still wanted Finn. "She didn't agree with you, she agreed with me."
"What are you three talking about; did Marcus break up with you?" Colin asked Lia from the sidelines, trying to stay out it for the majority. He with the rest of the male population in the room wanted to know, silently hoping it was true.
Lia shook her head in disagreement with Colin's question; it wasn't such a secret that the boys' didn't like Marcus. That was one of the reasons why it would have never worked out, and the other was because Lia's heart just wasn't all the way in it. Then again neither was Marcus', he had left an ex-girlfriend back in Italy before coming to Yale. "It was mutual, besides he had to go back to Italy to take care of family issues."
"Sorry to hear it didn't work out Maes, but you'll find out some that will last forever. So, me and the boys have work to do. Not that we don't want to you lovely ladies to stat, but I'd like to get it all done before dinner with Ace tonight. 7 o'clock, I'll be the one outside Lia's door with coffee in hand." Logan said to Rory smoothly, and he winked at her. Everyone in the room around them smiled, happy that they were going to start figuring everything out.
"Flattery will get you everywhere! It better be good coffee, and if your meeting me at Lia's you better have an extra one on you." Rory replied while the girls walked out the door, in fact they had their own things to get working on. Steph pulled her cell out, texting a message to someone. Lia lead the girls around campus, to a room that looked like a dance studio.
Colin and Finn's Dorm
"Run this by me again." Colin stated truly not grasping what has been said, and he couldn't believe it. It wasn't possible to not have any information on a person, as if they didn't exist. They had worked through all their resources, and they only had two that really knew the person but they couldn't say anything.
Logan was just as shocked as Colin was, about not being able to find Leigh Hayden. It was a miracle that not one person, had been able to get them information on this girl. "I'm telling you, that not one of our informants has been able to get something on her. There had been said to be a picture of her in England, but it seems to be lost or something because my informant there says there was none at any of the papers there."
"Mates, I think this is the first time ever that we have been stumped by the elder LDB." Finn told them, not really happy about being defeated by a person no one has ever met. "I think it's about time you started to get ready Huntz, for that big date with Reporter Girl. Wouldn't want to keep her waiting and you still have to make reservations to where ever you're going to take her."
"Your right Finn, I do need to make a move on back to my dorm to get ready. Hopefully Maes left me something worthy enough to wear, for a date with Ace." Logan said while walking out the door, without saying goodbye to his friends. To focused on making back to his dorm for his date with his Ace, and figuring out where he should take her.
Right as he got to his door, he knew the perfect place to take her. It was exactly her style, and it was relaxed and not overly pricey. Which she would like, since everyone knew she didn't like being bought very expensive things, when something just as delicious was cheaper somewhere else. So I walked in and wait straight for his shower.
Lia's dorm at 6:25 PM
"Lia, help I don't know what to wear." Rory yelled from her room, though administration didn't know about it, still. Rory was in her room, standing near the bed, which had a pile of her clothes on the bed. She was nervous, though she knew there was something there for them, still didn't calm her nerves though. She liked Logan so much, but again that never mattered. Anytime she had a date, especially a first date she was so nerves she didn't know what to wear.
Lia walked into Rory's room and saw the piles of clothes, and Rory in just a towel standing there looking intimidated by her clothing. Lia smiled because that was a good sign, and she was willing to bet Logan was having an even harder time. She had only left a few sate worthy clothes in his room, and they were exceptionally hidden by Doc. "Go curl you hair loosely and down, with light makeup while I found you an outfit."
Lia knew these two were good for each other, and it was going to be hell to get them apart once they became girlfriend and boyfriend. Not that they wouldn't be able to get away with a girls' night or guys' night, but because they wouldn't want to be apart from each other. Lia picked out a nice jean skirt, and blue top with a scoop neck. She walked over to her dresser, to look at the jewelry she had to go with the outfit. She knew she'd be picking up all of Rory's clothing, and putting them away again. She couldn't find anything that looked perfect with the outfit she picked out, so she walked to her own room. Picking out her white gold heart necklace, and matching dangling heart earrings.
"How does the hair look?" Rory asked Lia as she walked back in Rory's room, to help her get ready. Rory thought it looked alright; she just wanted a second opinion to make sure. The makeup she put on was light, but still noticeable but not so much that it took away from her natural beauty.
Lia looked at her hair, and while doing so she fluffed it a little to make it look fuller. She grabbed the hairspray out of Rory's hand, and sprayed her hair lightly not wanting it make super stiff if Logan were to put his hands through it. She placed the necklace around Rory's neck, and handed her the earrings to put on. "Do you have any silver bangles to go on your wrist, if you don't I'll go digging for them but I'm willing to bet mom stole mine."
"She probably did, and I do have some. I believe there in a bag, in the drawer in the desk." Rory told Lia, who went in search of the silver bangles as she got ready. She was hesitant to wear it, but took Lia's judgment seriously. So she put on the skirt, and top while looking in her closet for the perfect shoes to go with it.
Lia came back to Rory, with the bangles in hand. She watched for a second, as Rory were digging in her closet for shoes. Lia already knew where they were, and laughed quietly to herself. Lia walked up to her, and held them out for her. "Wear the silver Jimmy Choo's, and I believe there in the oven."
Rory ran out of the room towards the kitchen, forgetting completely about the bangles that were in Lia's outstretched hand. Rory heard Lia laughed from Rory's bedroom, and her way back Lia was on her way out. Rory grabbed the bangles this time on the to her room to finish getting ready, and Lia just sat down on the couch waiting from Logan to show up. Which should be any minute, so she picked up a magazine to flip through. Finally five minutes later, exactly at 7 o'clock. Lia heard a groan from Rory's room, and laughed at her while she walked towards the door.
"One of those better be mine Blondie, or you aren't entering this dorm." Lia said tilting her head, and raising an eyebrow while making it difficult for Logan to even enter the dorm if he so choose to do so. Logan shook his head, and laughed wholeheartedly as he handed the coffee over to her. She smiled as she took the offered coffee, and moved to let him. "She'll be out in a minute, as long as she hasn't been eaten by her piling clothes."
"Oh shove it; I'll be out in just a minute." Rory yelled out of her room, and all you heard after was yelp which made Logan and Lia laugh lightly. Lia sat down on the couch with her coffee, and moaned at just the smell of it. She didn't know how he did it, but he grabbed Luke's coffee. Wait that's not true she knew, he probably sent his driver Frank to pick it up. She always thought it was funny, that Logan's driver had the same name as her dad.
Logan smiled as Lia fell in love with her coffee, he suspected that it was a very good idea to get Frank to grab Luke's coffee while he got ready for his and Rory's date. He always took the two girls seriously when they brought up coffee, especially since the one time he saw Lia without coffee. It wasn't a pretty picture, they had been dating at the time and her coffee maker broke. She had been grumpy and a bitch the whole day till one of the teachers that loved her handed her a cup of coffee in class. He spotted Rory walk out of her room, and he stopped breathing. She looked absolutely gorgeous, in her relaxed clothing. It was perfect for their date, and something told him Lia had something to do with it from the smile she had on her face from his breath catching in his throat. "Wow, Ace!"
"Wow yourself, Blondie. Where'd you get the clothes from?" Rory teased him, because the clothes he was wearing were a dark loose pair of jeans, and a green button down dress shirt. He was luck Lia seemed to go easy on him, and leave a pair of dress shoes for him at the least. Rory couldn't help but smile slyly, as she heard Lia laugh out loud about her comment.
Logan rolled his eyes, and playfully glared at Lia. Knowing full well it was her fault that he didn't have his normal clothing, though if asked he'd have to admit they were comfortable. Lia just winked at him, with a devilish smile on her face. Telling him silently that he should know better, then to prank one of his own. "Yeah, well someone seemed to feel a little pity for me, when they pranked me earlier today."
"Hey, I left more than the shoes and button down shirt for dates in your dorm. Not my fault you couldn't find them all, you just don't know where to look for them. OH, and I'm glad you picked the green shirt too, it makes you look extremely sexy." Lia said with a teasing flirtatious wink, and seductive lip biting smile. It only made Rory laugh, because she knew Lia didn't see him like that anymore. They had talked about it awhile back, about how Logan was an amazing boyfriend back in Vermont but he just didn't have the same appeal to her as he did back then.
"Let's get you out of here, before she decides she needs to bed you for the night." Rory said in between laughs, and watched as Logan winked at Lia teasingly manner. Rory knew he wouldn't sleep with her best friend for two reason, one being the one she had already named, and because even though Finn wouldn't admit everyone knew that Finn like her. They all laughed as Rory pushed Logan out the door, and blew a kiss at Lia.
Logan wrapped an arm around Rory's shoulders, and walked her towards his car. He smiled at the fact, which Rory had snuggled closer to him under his arm. She felt perfect snuggled in to his side, and he couldn't wait till he could kiss her again. She was the best kiss he'd ever had experienced, and he had kissed a lot of girls before. Lia use to be the best, till he had kissed Rory in Morocco. "Ready for tonight, Ace?"
"I'm more than ready, In Omnia Paratus, right?" Rory replied with a cute smile, which drove Logan crazy. That was an experience that neither would forget, and neither wanted to. It made Rory smile, about how they had held hands as they jumped off the seven story scaffolding.
Logan smiled back, and Rory had realized he only really smiled at her like that. He had a smile for Lia, but both of them were different and special. They held a story, and mystery of how every worked out but also how everything turned out good. "Definitely Ace, let's get on the road." He told her, while opening his car door. He had decided to drive his Porsche Boxter S, and to a little restaurant nearby.
Rory had tried to ask where Logan was taking her, but he wouldn't budge and she had almost tried everything. She hadn't pulled out her pout and puppy dog eyes, because if she really wanted to know badly she'd use them. She just like bugging Logan, because she knew he couldn't resist it. She wasn't paying attention to where Logan was driving, and didn't really notice when Logan stopped and parked the car. When Logan opened her door, did she realize that they were at their destination. She took Logan's hand that he offered, and helped her out the car.
Logan directed Rory into the direction of the restaurant, and Rory couldn't believe her eyes. It wasn't some big extravagant restaurant, it was a small little building. When they got closer Rory still couldn't see a name, but when they got in the Hostess had provided it for her. "Welcome to Tony & Lucille's Little Italy, do you have reservations?"
"Yes, two for Huntzberger." Logan had responded to the hostess's question, and smiled down at Rory seeing how she was taking everything in. He watched as she took in every little detail, there was in the restaurant. He knew this was the perfect place for their first date, it being a completely different environment from where he took his normal girls. "Do you like the place, Ace?"
"I do, it looks gorgeous. To be honest, I wasn't expecting this cute little restaurant." Rory had mentioned to him, really not expecting this at all. Logan was known for extravagant dinners, and he lived up to it for his dates. This was a place she could see herself coming to on a regular basis, with Lia and Lorelai for one of their mother/daughter dinner nights.
Logan smiled genuinely at Rory, and slid into the booth right next to her. Not wanting to sit across from her, like he normally did on one of his dates. She was different, in so many ways, and she made him different when he was around her. Let alone that she had made her mark on him, and she was influencing what he does even when she wasn't around. "I knew you wouldn't have liked it if I had done that, so I brought you somewhere with delicious food."
"You know me, so well. How did that happen?" Rory asked teasingly at him, knowing that she knew almost the same about him. Was she not the one who pranked him, about arranged marriages that really any college students would be scared about. She really did want to know, how much Logan really knew about her.
Logan thought she looked good when she teased, but then again she was always good looking. She never had to really try to look good, it was a natural beauty that every guy could see. A lot of men in school, wanted her either as a girlfriend or one of the many. "Were friends, the best actually."
"Yeah, I know." Rory said kind of down, she didn't know if this was dinner for friends or if it was an actual date. How he had said that they were best friends, didn't make it sound like they were on an actual date. She wanted it to be a real date, but she didn't want to get her hopes up.
Logan saw the smile on Rory's face drop, and that was not what he was trying to do. He had said what he wanted to say wrong, and he needed to fix it. Before he could say anything more the waitress came to get their drink order and what they had decided for an appetizer. The waitress tried to flirt with him in front of Rory, and he did his best to ignore her and not even look at her. Soon she left, and he tried to formulate words to fix things. "I wanted to talk to you about Morocco, because I know we haven't yet. I didn't mean to ignore you after we got back, I just became insanely confused about how I was feeling."
"I understand that, I'm sorry I was avoiding you since we got back. Though, I won't apologize for the prank I pulled." Rory had said bring back her smile, and fun demeanor for the night. She realized she took Logan's comment the wrong way, but she was glad that Logan didn't just let it go at that.
Logan laughed out loud at Rory's comment about her prank, and he realized that was why he liked her so. She said the funniest thing, which sounds ridiculous from someone who had been friends with Lia Morgan. There seemed to be things that Steph knew, that even he didn't and he dated her. "I wouldn't expect you to, Ace. Number one rule of Maes' for pranks, is to never apologize. If you feel guilty after said prank, you should have never pranked in the first place."
"Sounds like Li, you've got to love her though." Rory said through her laughs, loving how they had gotten back to lightly teasing each other and talking about common interests. Lia was common ground, she had been friends with her since birth and Logan had dated her back in the sixth grade. Though it seems to her, that he doesn't know as much as other do; then again he could have just forgotten it had been a long time since they had seen each other.
Logan was laughing with Rory, and admiring how beautiful she looked as she laughed. He didn't know how it happened but he fell for her, and he didn't regret a minute of it. He finally grew the balls to follow his feeling for Rory, and he just couldn't see himself with other girls or her with other guys. If he was honest with himself, he was never okay seeing Rory with other guys. After Lia and he broke up in the sixth grade, it was okay seeing her with another guy; though she really wasn't with anyone after they broke up. He was the one to move on, but she did have guys hanging off of her and getting close. "She's a hard person to hate, Ace. I just want to say I don't regret the kiss we shared in Morocco, it was probably the best kiss I've ever had. If I'm truthful, this is a feat since Lia use to be in the number one spot."
"Got to keep it in the family, but I don't regret it either. I think that had to be one of the best kisses, I've had in Morocco. That, and Tristan held the title, before you which isn't saying much but is still a feat in itself." Rory said honestly back to Logan, wanting to be honest with him as well. Not wanting to keep anything from him. They smiled at each other, as the waitress had delivered the drinks, and taking their entrée order. They shared the Calamari appetizer, while talking about trivial things. How Logan had become friends with Colin and Finn, and what he was like when he had met Lia.
Logan was surprised by her comment, had she been to Morocco before. He had never known that, than again he didn't know where she had actually been with Lia and Tristan. He was glad though, that his kiss topped Tristan's and he knows it's messed up; she had known Tristan longer than she had known him. "You've been to Morocco before?"
"We try and make a trip every so often; I think we went freshman year here at Yale." Rory answered back, and she wondered why that had surprised him that she had been to Morocco before her birthday. She had thought he would have known, since her and Li had practically showed them around without a map in hand or asking for instructions.
Logan knew he shouldn't be surprised by that, the three of them were especially close. He knew Lia went off trips during breaks from school, hell on weekends they had taken off without telling anyone. They had fun going to different place, for instance they had jumped on to a plane right after they got out school one Friday; and went to Hawaii for the weekend. "You two traveled a lot, which must have been fun with Tristan."
"Aw, are you showing your jealous side. Tristan didn't join our adventures across the world till right before senior year. The same trip I got my nickname, Belle." Rory said with amusement in her voice, and laughter in her eyes. She couldn't believe Logan was jealous of her times with Tristan and Lia in different parts of the country, though she was sure it wasn't really both Tristan and Lia he was jealous about. It was more about, the times she was with Tristan.
Logan scowled at the thought of being jealous, but started then scowled at himself for actually being jealous like Rory had said. He had never been jealous before, not even when Lia was his girlfriend or after they had broken up. God was he falling for her hard; it was amazing because he had never felt anything like what he felt for Rory. "Oh, I thought you all had been going on trips together for, forever. Tristan had mentioned on your birthday, that you three took trips that were just the three of you every year. What did he mean by that?"
"We take trips at certain times, some for memories and others for being free of all that society has put on us. We share certain painful memories, and the burden of the families we come from." Rory had answered truthfully the whole time; she wasn't going to get into the painful memories because most weren't her own. A lot of them were Lia and Tristan's, and it wasn't her place to tell their stories. Though they did involve her, especially the one trip they take every year; she just hoped that this coming year he would be able to tag along. Hopefully by then Finn would have gotten off his dumb ass, and be dating La by then as well.
Logan could sense she didn't really want to talk about it, and that it was kind of like him with Colin and Finn when they take trips. Though the only painful memories they have get away from, our families for the most part; Finn's an exception to that though, him and his parent's get along. "So you take those trips to remember that you always have one another even if something bad happens?"
"Yeah, but some of those might change in time. Maybe sooner rather than later, who knows!" Rory said being optimistic, hoping that it would be sooner rather than later. She wanted to be able to share the experiences she's had with him, but that was only if he wanted to share them with her of course.
Logan smiled at her, knowing what she was saying silently. He wouldn't voice it, but he was definitely hoping for the same thing. He knew there was something he didn't know about Lia, and what the trio did on their trips, but if he did date Rory eventually he'd know. "So, how did you get Richard to agree, to participate in my demise?"
"A magician never reveals his secrets. How is the search for Leigh, going?" Rory asked seriously curious to know, if they had figured out it was her yet. Though if they did, wouldn't have they told her or Lia that they knew; oh well, she wasn't going to dwell on it to much tonight. She just wanted to know, what their progress was and to push his buttons a little.
"We've given up, we couldn't find her. All we found out, was that she's a straight A student. No one knows where she lives, or what she looks like. We know there was a picture of her in Europe, but when an informant looked they couldn't find it." Logan explained to her, hoping to see if she'd give input on the mystery of Leigh Hayden. He wondered why she was so secretive about her life, and why she didn't want people to know who she was.
Rory looked Logan in the eye, and knew he didn't understand why she (Leigh) would want to hide from the prying eyes of everyone in their world. He didn't have the two prominent families giving you a fortune when they see fit, he only had one even if it was big; but hers was bigger. "Ever think she doesn't want to be found quite yet, that she's trying to keep as much normalcy in her life till she has to deal with all that society brings?"
"Is that what she's doing, Ace?" Logan questioned, getting extremely curious. The journalist in him, wanted to know what her answer would be on a close friend of hers supposedly.
Rory smiled lightly, knowing his journalistic side had come out, and she could fault him for it. She would have done the same in his shoes, but she knew eventually she'd have to tell him. She just hadn't figure out, when would be a good time too. "Maybe, but even if you didn't find out by next week, I think you'll find out who she is sooner than you think."
"Ace, I never pegged you for the mysterious cryptic reporter type." Logan said impressed with how Rory kept her loyalties to her friends, it reminded him of his friendship with the guys. Then again he would do the same for Lia and Rory any day of the week, they were his family and he would take a bullet for any of them if it came down to it.
Rory smirked at Logan, only if he knew how mysterious and cryptic she could be. She had been mysterious her whole life, living somewhat of a double life. Being two different people, who are also the same, was hard to do. Though it was good, not many people knew of her double life. Which soon would change to just one again, and hopefully it didn't change how some people thought of her. "Well, there's much to learn of this Gilmore Girl."
"Yes there is, but I think I got the basics down." Logan challenged her, and he was fairly sure he had gotten the basics of her down. She was fairly simple, well to him anyways. To an outsider it wouldn't seem that way, but he had lived and dated one of her counter parts in the sixth grade. So, it wasn't hard for him to grasp, he still thought of them as odd and slightly insane but he wouldn't have either of them any other way.
Rory smiled at him sweetly, truly looked at him once again that evening and saw how beautiful he was. How real he was, not the playboy that he played up to be all the time. She didn't like the playboy Logan, she liked the Logan who was real and down to earth and didn't care about his money. "Oh yeah, so what are they?"
"Whenever I come to see you; to always have coffee, if I want your attention solely on me. Family comes before all else, unless it evolves Emily Gilmore. School is extremely important to you, and if you were to be pranked it better not be in class." Logan informed her politely, but extremely serious. He knew more about her, but he figured keeping it light would be best.
Rory smiled at what Logan had said those were basic knowledge of her. But not so basic that everyone knew about her, you only knew that if you were her friend or a family member. As she thought more about Logan, she knew she wanted more to come from this night, than just a date. But definitely not sex, but she wanted a relationship out of it. She put a mocking shocked face and a playful terror in her eyes as she looked at Logan. "You forgot Willy Wonka, but that's okay you remembered the coffee. By the way, remind me to thank Frank for the driving to Luke's for the coffee earlier."
"Will do Ace, he said the coffee was the best he has ever had." Logan said paying the bill, and giving an arm to Ace as they walked around before heading back to campus. He decided that maybe she would enjoy some ice cream, so headed towards an ice cream parlor not too far away.
Rory laughed wholeheartedly, as they walked into the ice cream parlor. They waited in line like regular customers, and to the customers in front of them. "His got that right, there's nothing better." At that she snuggled closer into Logan, who had his arm around her as they waited. They looked at the different flavors as they waited, seeming to decide what they wanted as the customer before them had ordered theirs.
Soon as they got their ice cream, which to surprise for Rory was mocha cookie dough, while Logan had gone with Mint Chocolate Chip. So they walked back towards Logan's car, as they ate and joked about their mutual friends. Logan was still getting a kick out of, Colin and Finn misfortune of becoming Oompa Loompas by Lia. Rory just laughed the mental picture of the two from that morning, she still couldn't figure out how Lia had done it.
On the car ride back, they had had played 20 questions, and there were no serious questions. Just little fun facts about each other, as they held hands and laughed at certain answers. Soon enough Logan found a perfect parking spot, and helped Rory out of the car. Holding on to Rory's hand, he thought about what he wanted after tonight. He didn't want to kiss her good night, and wonder if there should have been more to how things ended. "I want to go out with you again, but I don't want anyone else but you."
"I don't think I would mind that, too much. Wait, does that mean I got to cancel my date tomorrow?" Rory teased Logan, knowing full well what he meant by anyone else but her. She knew that she would never date anyone else but Logan, and that was a good feeling knowing he wanted the same. But she really just wanted to tease him a little, because in reality she had been asked out for tomorrow evening she had just turned him down though.
Logan huffed at Rory's little joke, he did not find it funny. Yes he had to admit to himself that he had believed for a split second, but saw the mocking glint in her eyes. He would also have to admit that he was also jealous of the thought of Rory going out with someone else, it was irrational of him to feel like that but he was beginning to realize he was never completely rational when it came to Rory. "Ha ha, very funny Ace. Though I did want to ask if you'd, give me the pleasure of being my date next week for Halloween."
"I wish you would have asked me sooner, but I already have a date." Rory said with a smirk plainly present in mocking, but seriously as well. She already had plans for the Halloween party, and she would definitely wouldn't back down now with Logan being her boyfriend. The plan Lia had planned for the party, was perfect to get a reaction out of Logan. Even better to get reactions out of Colin and Finn as well.
Logan's jealousy peaked at the mention of already having a date, for a second he though she was joking but didn't see a hint of teasing other than him being too late to ask. He grimaced at the thought of another man touching his Ace, and he knew at the party he would blow a gasket if he saw this guy. "With who?"
"Well I should really say dates, since the girls and I were all single for Halloween; we decided to be each other's dates. Though, I promise to save you a few dances." Rory said with an even wider smirk, if it were possible. She knew Logan was being jealous because his body had gone ridged, and his eyes almost became slits. But he had relaxed as he found out it wasn't with a guy, and Rory had to lightly laugh at that thought.
Logan watched how his new found girlfriend silently laughed, at how he had gotten jealous of Lia and Steph. Though she had to give him credit, he didn't know it wasn't a guy she was going on a date with to the Halloween party. "Oh yeah, but if remember correctly. Lia was surprising everyone, with something before the live band."
Rory's smirk didn't disappear an inch from her face, and that slightly worried Logan. She was being mysterious a lot tonight, and he wondered what she was hiding but wondered if he should even ask. Before he could decide if he was going to ask or not, Rory decided to answer his silent question. "I know, but I'm not telling you what it is. I will say; that you'll be surprised."
"I had a good time Ace, what would you to lunch tomorrow?" Logan asked after a moment of taking everything in, he really wasn't sure how to take Rory being mysterious. Lia had been like that sometimes back in middle school, and never told me why she would disappear without him. He never pried though; it was like a silent agreement with each other that they didn't ask unless they were told first.
Rory saw the hesitance in Logan's eyes, and she started to slightly feel bad for keeping stuff from him, but the thought of how he would look at the party would be priceless. He could handle a week without knowing, but the question was; when was she going to tell him her biggest secret before he found at the press conference he was sure to be at. "I think I can work you in at one, because I leave at 230 with Li for Stars for the night."
"I'll take what I can get, with my gorgeous girlfriend." Logan smiled lightly at her, they had just become boyfriend and girlfriend, and she was already basked with other things. Then again what was he to expect, it was Rory he was talking about. She almost always had something going on. Though at the thought of being able to tell every that Rory Gilmore was his girlfriend, his smiled widened.
Rory smiled genuinely with a sparkle in her, at Logan's choice of words. She couldn't describe the feeling of joy she was having, for him calling her his girlfriend. She couldn't believe that she had finally gotten Logan, well not like that but the person she had fallen in love with was her boyfriend as of now. "Girlfriend huh, never thought you'd have one of those after Li."
"Yes, girlfriend and neither did I Ace. Never thought I'd feel, they way I do for someone again." Logan answered Rory, and he was being completely honest about it. He really hadn't planned on feeling anything close to what he felt with Lia, but it was different with Rory. Stronger in a way, and if he didn't know it he might even say he was falling in love with her. Or that he already was, he had loved Lia, but again nothing like how he felt about Rory.
Rory's smile grew ten times wider; she truly loved hearing him call her his girlfriend. She just hoped she could take care of all the sluts who will want to kill her for snagging the biggest playboy of the century. No she didn't think she was overreacting about him being the biggest playboy of the century, but she knows he'll be a good boyfriend otherwise Lia would have never dated him for as long as she had back in the 6th grade. "I'm glad you did, boyfriend. Hm, I like the sound of that, Logan's girlfriend Ace."
"I'm glad, because I'm liking the new boyfriend title. Oh, and no one gets to call you Ace but me, alright Ace." Logan said with a wink, letting her know he was just being possessive of the nickname not her. Though if needed too, he would be in a heartbeat. He would not allow his Ace to be in a dangerous situation, if those around her trying to cause her harm wouldn't by knowing she was his. In a way he liked knowing that he could be possessive of her sometimes, like putting his arms around her waist and kissing her neck or lips.
With that thought, Logan leaned towards Rory. She had leaned towards at the exact same time, and their lips met in the middle. In a slow passionate kiss, similar to the kiss in Morocco but different at the same time, it was sweeter and more passionate then the one they shared there. Rory snaked her arms around Logan's neck, and her hands glided into his messy blonde hair. As his left arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her close, while his right cupped the back of her neck to get a better angle as he slipped his tongue into Rory's mouth. When she had moaned in pleasure, as Logan had licked and nibbled on her bottom lip, soon though they had to break apart panting for air; and rested their foreheads
They said their goodnights, and shared one more kiss before Rory went into Lia's dorm and Logan made it back to his. Rory looked around the dorm room, and found that Lia was nowhere to be found, so she got ready for bed, and went to sleep with a smile on her face. Drifting off into dreams of her and Logan, and their friend who hopefully get their acts together; because she can see Lia starting to lose faith.
Stars Hollow
"So, how was the date last night? Don't keep mommy hanging now." Lorelai excitedly asked her daughter Rory, and about the night before with the one and only Logan Huntzberger. She including the rest of the town; owe Lia money for the bets they placed against Rory actually snagging a date with the one Logan Huntzberger. Now it would be twice as much if they had become boyfriend and girlfriend, last night which silently she was hoping didn't happen because she really didn't want to pay Lia all that.
Not that she did want her daughter to date Logan; she was just solemn over the fact that Lia would be getting so much money. When she was already so rich, and would be known for it for some time. Lia and Rory didn't have to hide who they really were in Stars Hollow, because Lorelai and Lia's mom had already told the town ahead of time.
Rory smiled of the thought of her date the night before, and even the lunch they had shared this afternoon. It seemed easy to get into a boyfriend/girlfriend routine, and she was glad though she knew they would have their moments. Since no one relationship is ever perfect, and that is always one thing she understood. "It was good; we were comfortable with each other. We joked, laughed and proclaimed one another boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Finally, it's about damn time." Lia smirked at Lorelai first, as she watched her second mother wince in her direction. Lia then turned her attention towards Rory, and smirked in a knowing look in her eyes. Rory had rolled her eyes at Lia; of course Lia would always have something up her sleeve. That was just the type of person she was, either it be good or bad, which it hardly ever was; Lia had a plan in her head. If she used it or not, was a totally different story.
"Yeah, I know. I did a little happy dance when I got back, to the dorms. Where were you, when I got back, anyways?" Rory asked with a stunning smile plastered on her face, nothing was going to be able to take that smile of her face for quite some time. No could deny how happy they were for Rory, to find someone complimented both her worlds, no matter how crazy it was, or how it much more it was going to get in two weeks.
Lia laughed at her memories of the night before, she had gone to Colin and Finn's dorm. They had called her begging to know how to get all the crap off them; and she had come over to drink when Finn had offered her a drink. She asked if they wanted to meet at the pub but they had refused to go out in public, and she laughed all the way to their dorm. "Finn and Colin's drinking, and hearing praises for being the true master and commander, once again."
"Again, what did I miss?" Lorelai demanded not liking being out of the loop, especially when it Lia was being named the true master and commander. She could only guess Lia had done something to someone outside of the group, or to one of the boys. When Lia gets ideas in her head, she just isn't sure what will come out of it, but she can expect laughter.
Rory and Lia laughed, and when Lorelai glared at them. They just laughed harder, the memory of them as Oompa Loompas were still fresh in their memory. Lorelai had stomped her foot like a child, that just made Rory and Lia double over in laughter. Rory was soon able to control some of her laughter, enough to catch a little breath and tell her mother a little why they were laughing so hard. "Li threw a prank on Colin and Finn yesterday, one you will absolutely love."
"Tell me; tell me, I want to know. Please tell me, you have pictures of said prank!" Lorelai had all but yelled pleadingly, Lorelai always was one to laugh at others expensive. Especially when it concerned one of Lia's pranks, it was always funny to see the reaction on the victims faces.
"Even better I have video, and I brought it with me." Lia taunted Lorelai, and she knew it was mean but it was always something they had done. Besides they weren't there for laughing quite yet, that was for after they finished the last minute wedding plans. Rory was still laughing at the images in her head, as Lorelai began jumping in her seat with excitement.
Soon enough Rory stopped laughing, and looked at her mother. She shook her head; there was no way that she was going let her see the video until after they finished the wedding planning. They had few things to finish, and she didn't want to put it off. If they watched the movie of Colin and Finn, they would end up not doing anything they had planned to do today. "But you can watch it later; we have finishing touches to do on the wedding first."
"Fine ruin mommy's fun; let's get this over with so I can watch the funny video that I will apparently love." Lorelai whined like a two tear old, and Lia had to wonder who the adult was sometimes. Though she had to admit, she wouldn't have wanted to grow up any other way, then how she did with her mom and Lorelai. She could have done without her father, but she couldn't change that and she dealt with it fine as long as she wasn't around him for too long.
Rory hummed at her mother; and pulled at the list of wedding things they had all been working on. They each had a copy of the list, with their own added things to do as best woman, maid of honor and bride. Everything was basically checked off, except for the minor last minute things. "You will trust me, anyways. Who's walking you down the aisle?"
"Dad, I still need to ask him, but I definitely want him to walk me." Lorelai got back to being serious within seconds, of hearing her daughter's question. Though she hadn't always gotten along with her father, and his world of society she loved him more than words. She had always dreamed of him walking her down the aisle.
Lia nodded to Lorelai's response, she had suspected it and was glad since Richard was making up for the lost time with his daughter. She knew personally that Richard was dealing with a lot, from the decision Rory made to leave Emily out of her life. Emily has asked multiple times about Rory's life, and Richard has made sure that he stays out of the fight between the his wife and the other women in his life. "Okay you need to call him at work, Monday morning. The song you and pops, are going to dance to first?"
"Actually, that's where we have another favor babe. We were kind of hoping, you could write one, or pick one you could sing, be we definitely want you to sing for our first dance. If you wouldn't mind, that is?" Lorelai asked Lia, Luke and she had been talking about it, and decided they wouldn't want to dance to anything unless Lia had sung it. It would be even better for them, if it was an original Lia Del' Atla song. They didn't have preference as to what she sang, because they knew anything she picked would probably match them perfectly.
Lia smiled at the thought of Lorelai being nervous, they could ask her to design the whole wedding and she would have done it. They were her true family, and she would do anything to see them happy on their special day. Though to be honest, she was going to sing anyways unless they wanted an actual famous artist to sing at the wedding. It was going to be one of her presents, but now she would have to rethink that. "I'd be honored, seriously though I'll write one."
"Thank you, sweets! Now Maid of Honor, you have a big speech during the reception, about how much you love mommy and you new step-daddy." Lorelai said all excited about having Lia sing, and having a speech by both of her girls at the wedding. She knew they probably had it already written or something. But she wanted to see Rory squirm if she can.
Rory shook her head, knowing what her mother was trying to do. It wasn't going to work; she was in too much of a good mood to care about giving a speech at her wedding. It was also not like she didn't love her mom or Luke, they were prefect for each other so it was perfect. "I already knew that mom, I'll have it ready. Oh, I'm most likely won't be bringing a date. You know since my boyfriend is one of the groomsmen."
"God, I never thought I'd see the day my little sister started dating my sixth grade boyfriend. I got to admit though, you two are absolutely gorgeous together." Lia blurted out with a sigh, and it wasn't because she wished Logan and her stayed together. They had ended on good terms, and were two of the closest ex's you would probably ever find. The sigh was more of the fact, that her best friend was getting her happy ending, while she was still pining over Finn the Australian idiot.
"Okay, that's it I want to watch the movie." Lorelai said running into the family room, with Lia's bag in hand. Lia and Rory burst out laughing at Lorelai's actions, they knew, that they were testing Lorelai's patience with making her wait to watch the movie. "Real live Oompa Loompas, yes tell Luke I can't marry him any longer! My soul mate, have finally arrived."
"Mom that's just wrong on so many levels, besides they're not the right height." Rory shuddered as she walked into the family room, at her mother's outburst. The image of Lorelai dating or marrying one of her friend's, was a disturbing thought and made her want to throw up.
Lia nodded in agreement, shuddering at the same thoughts that were running through Rory's head most likely. Lorelai had dated a young guy once, and if she remembered Luke was the one who had teased her about for a very long time. "That and by the time you see them in person, they won't look like that anymore."
"Darn, fine. I guess I'll settle for Luke if I must, now let's watch this again so I can laugh." Lorelai said in a defeated tone, and made herself slouch into the couch. Lia and Rory both took a seat on either side of Lorelai, while producing snacks out from behind them and in front of Lorelai.
Soon enough the crap shack was filled with laughter, as the trio had gotten lost in the movie of Oompa Loompas. That was how Luke had found them, when he made it home from the diner. He soon realized what it was they had fallen over themselves laughing about, and had to admit that was the funniest of the pranks Lia has ever pulled. He laughed at the boy's misfortune, of being Oompa Loompas and he promised himself that he would make sure to make fun of them, the next time he would see them.
Soon the four of them made it to bed, and slept for the night. The next day was going to bring many talks and decisions for one Gilmore girl, and the relationship she had just gotten herself in. Knowing she would have to have, the same conversation she was talking about with her family. The morning would hopefully bring her in sight and a clue on how to tell her boyfriend what he needed to know before he found out another way.
Halloween Party
"So what, are we expecting from Lia, this time around?" Logan asked his two friends, who were also solo for this event. For different reasons of course, but there wasn't much he could do about them not taking the innovative to ask at the girls of their true affections. Finn was being especially difficult, and he was beginning to think Lia was truly ready to give up all together. To find someone she can be happy with, to the best of her ability.
Colin took a sip of his drink, and turned to look around them. The party was almost in full swing, the only thing they were waiting for now was Lia and the girls. He was curious just as much as Logan was, but he knew better then to ask Lia about it if she wanted to keep it a surprise. "Have no clue, but I do know that it should happen fairly soon."
"You said Reporter Girl, was coming with them all, right?" Finn asked trying to figure it out in his brain, what it is Lia had up her sleeve but he realized he didn't know her like he prided himself before. He felt like though he had gotten close to her, he had begun to realize there's more to her then he thought. Yes she lived for fun just like them rest of them did, but she also lived for the life outside of all the fun and adventure.
The lights were dimmed, so it was almost pitch black. A red spotlight came on, pointing at the stage. The curtain slowly made its accent upwards, as the lights above the stage made the spotlight a darker red color. Music began to playing, many found the band playing the background to music that sounded familiar to all, as females started squealing and men figured there was a good chance they would find women dancing with less clothing on then those around them.
(Rory 'Mya' Bold, Lia 'Christina' Bold Italics, Steph 'Pink' Italics and Rosemary 'Lil' Kim' Underlined-Lady Marmalade Moulin Rouge Soundtrack All chorus in regular)
Where's
all mah soul sistas
Lemme hear ya'll flow sistas
Rory stepped out into the light, as the other girls were dancing in the dark still. She was wearing a blue corset with a black linings up and down the front and back, with a matching g-string and stockings attached to it. (link to pictures of outfits in profile.) Rory began dancing extremely sexy on stage, and Logan's jaw had hit the floor.
Hey
sista, go sista, soul sista, flow sista He met Marmalade down IN old Moulin
Rouge
Hey sista, go sista, soul
sista, go sista
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello,
hey Jo, you wanna give it a go?" Oh! uh huh
"Holy Shit, is that my girlfriend dancing up there?" Logan had asked as he finally picked up his jaw from the ground, and he was starting to realize many guys were lusting over his girlfriend's body. He didn't like it one bit, and if he was honest he wanted to run on stage and cover his Ace up, but he just didn't have the courage to do it. Seeing Rory like that, having fun and being free, as well as sexy as can be.
Giuchie,
Giuchie, ya ya dada (Hey hey hey)
Giuchie, Giuchie, ya ya here

Colin took a double take at the female on stage in front of them, and his eyes bugged out. He knew Rory had a body. But God damn did she have curves where every girl wanted them, and if Logan wasn't her boyfriend he'd be trying desperately to get her to go home with him tonight. "Yeah, and I'm jealous as hell of you right about now."
"Right there with you mate, who knew Reporter Girl could make like that." Finn said watching Rory's every move, and if he didn't know better she was looking straight at Logan with each of those moves. He knew that they hadn't slept together, but knew there was an itch they both wanted to scratch.
What What, What what
Ooh oh

Next
to show her face was Steph, and though she wasn't as great at
singing or at the dancing Rory had just done. She was definitely not
bad to look at, and Colin looked as though he gone to heaven. Finn
and Logan didn't see the appeal, but then again Colin was head over
heels in love with her, not one of them. They didn't see Steph as
anything more than a friend, but Colin was the one who saw a soul
mate in her.
He
sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
Boy drank all that
Magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets is where he started to
freak yeah
"Wow,
um…" Colin's vocalized, and Finn and Logan had to laugh at the
fact he couldn't speak. Logan thought that he actually saw drool
coming out of Colin's mouth, and that was say something Colin never
drooled.

Finn could tell his friends weren't within the same universe as him any longer. They were both drooling over, Logan at his babe of a girlfriend on stage; Colin at Steph dancing similar to the way Rory was. Rose was next, and it was amazing to hear her rap, thought it didn't sound great it wasn't horrible. She looked good though, and if he thought she'd actually agree, he'd ask her out. She was dressed in a tight fitting gold and black corset, with a black lacy booty shorts to match along with it.
Hey
Hey Hey!
Touch of her skin feeling silky smooth
Color of cafe
au lait alright
Made the savage beast inside roar until he
cried,
More-more-more
Colin and Logan turned to Finn, right as Finn's jaw dropped when Lia began singing. None of them had even seen Rory and Lia dance in such a way. They were all so sexy looking but Finn wasn't only drooling, he got weak in the knees. That Colin had gotten a stool for him, to sit on while the girls continued their dance and song.
"You alright there, man?" Logan asked Finn rather smug, knowing Finn was nowhere near being alright. It wasn't everyday that Finn was rendered speechless, especially by a woman. Lia seemed to e the only one to ever that to him, and it boggled the groups mind on how stupid he was; for not asking her out, and getting over his playboy ways
Now he's back home doin' 9 to 5
Livin'
a grey flannel life
But
when he turns off to sleep memories creep,
More-more-more
Giuchie,
Giuchie, ya ya dada (da
daeaea yea)
Giuchie,
Giuchie, ya ya here (ooh)
Mocha Choca lata ya ya (yea)
Colin didn't need to know that Lia was gorgeous, or Steph for that matter but the sight of them didn't help the problem in his pants. He knew Logan was probably having a problem of his own, seeing your newly acquired girlfriend in practically nothing was probably a dream for him.

Soon enough the song was over, and the girls bowed to the crowd. Who were screaming and clapping, while all the men ogled them. As they made their way off the stage, single men made a line to get to them. Logan watched as men went up to Rory, and stopped her every time she turned down each guys offer before them.
The girls finally made it the boys, well all except for Rose who had taken one of guys up on their offer. Rory didn't wait to begin talking; she made her way to Logan. He wrapped her arms around her waist, and gave her a passionate kiss; which she returned back. Lia smiled at the two, glad they had gotten together. She didn't tell anyone, but she could envision them together forever. With kids, because they had this chemistry that melded together, they would both make great parents because of the love they would and will share. Logan would always make sure she kept her adventurous side alive, while Rory would keep him grounded and call him on his bullshit.
"You looked amazing up there, where did you get this outfit from Ace?" Logan asked flirtatiously at his girlfriend, who sent a smirk his way at the lustful look in his eye. He watched as Rory walked away swaying her hips seductively, towards Lia and Steph. She turned her head around enough to see him, and winked at his dumbfound look.
Lia burst out laughing, at Logan's look of shock. His jaw was practically on the floor, and his eyes bugged out like they were going to fall off his face. Soon Rory could no longer hold her laughter, and doubled over holding onto Lia for support. "Wow, you've got him drooling Ry."
"I know, who would've thought the King of Playboys, would fall from his thrown; and into my hands like putty." Rory joked back with Lia, at Logan's expense. Which was pretty normal for the two, usually they made fun of Colin and Finn too.
Logan finally picked up his jaw from the floor, and narrowed his eyes at Rory. He stalked his way towards her; Rory quickly stopped laughing and backed away with each step Logan took. He raised a brow at her movements, while Lia stepped behind her to keep her from moving any further. Logan took another step, and stood right in front of her, "Babe, it's the former Kin fog Playboys. Make sure, you get it right when you make fun of me, Ace."
'Yeah, you sure you still want to be my boyfriend?" Rory questioned teasingly, but she knew either tonight or tomorrow he could possibly change the specific answer he was about to give. She had been a nervous wreck the whole day, trying to figure out how to tell him.
Logan sobered from his playful side, and looked Rory in the eyes seriously. He put both hands on either side of her face, and pulled her head to his to crash his lips on hers for several minutes; before breaking apart to talk. "Definitely still want to be your boyfriend, Ace."
"Love, from the little show you and Huntz provided, I'd believe every word he just said." Finn proclaimed to Rory, and he watched as she nodded her head, while her eyes never left Logan's. Him and the rest of the little group watched as Rory was lead to the dance floor by Logan.
Steph leaned her head against Colin's shoulder, warn out by the show her and the girls put on. They had been practicing every day, since they figured out their costumes. "I don't know how you do it, V. I mean seriously, how do you have any energy to stand right now?"
"Alcohol is one, and I've been performing for as long as I can remember. The loud music helps, as well." Lia responded to her question, while the bartender handed her and Finn their drinks. Finn had actually ordered her the Long Island, knowing her well enough to know her signature drink. Lia smiled thanks to him, for ordering it for, it was exactly what she wanted.
"Dance with me, Kitten?" Finn asked after they had each finished their drinks, and had another in their hands. He didn't want to think about other guys, dancing with her with they're hand all over her. Of course she could take care of herself, but he just wouldn't like it.
Lia smiled, and nodded her head. She grabbed his hand, and she felt electricity run through her body by the simple touch. Lia revealed in the feeling, Finn entices in her, she hadn't felt anything like it before. "Ready, Sexy?"
"I'm ready pet, always am." Finn said before polishing of his drink, and placing it on a passing waitress's tray. Lia had already finished her drink in one go, and had placed her cup on the tray as well. Placing both hands on either side of her hips and pulling her close to him. He couldn't stop looking at her; in her sexy outfit his problem was prominent in his pants. He found red was becoming his favorite color, especially on her and tonight had proven that. She was wearing a tight laced red corset; with a v type slit opening show the top of her breasts were you could see where the string pulled it as close together as it could and a pair red lace boy shorts to finish off the outfit
Lia leaned into him, and began moving her hips to the loud music playing all around them. Grinding into Finn purposely to get him aroused, not that she was planning on sleeping with Finn, but because she wanted to feel at least something about how he felt about her. She lost all track of time, as she continued to dance with Finn.
Logan and Rory had rejoined Colin and Steph at the bar, and ordered themselves a drink each. Rory had finally spotted Lia and Finn; she smiled at the sight of the two. Logan retrieved their drinks, and gave Rory's hers while placing his arm around her shoulders. He spotted their friends immediately, and smirked as Finn seemed to be having difficulty standing properly. Knowing Lia, she probably wanted some kind of reaction from Finn. Though he was sure she hadn't quite noticed Finn's little problem, and it was likely it was because she was enjoying his hands all over her.
Finally Lia and Finn emerge from the pool of dancing people, and head for the bar for a few drinks. Finn was having difficulty sitting comfortable on his chair, he was trying to hide the fact that Lia had gotten him excited. "How was your dance, Love?"
"Great Finn, how was yours?" Rory questioned with a smirk, knowing Finn would know why. She saw Lia attempting to hold back a smirk that was trying to form on her face, she took a long sip of her drink to make it seem like she had no idea what Rory had implied in her question.
Finn swallowed his drink, almost chocking on it. He wasn't use to this Rory, who was basically calling him out for having a hard on for her best friend. "It was wonderful, love. Kitten here has some, amazing moves."
"we'd hope so, she…Ow, V." Steph yelped in pain, when Lia pinched her arm. Steph looked at Lia questioningly, for why she was pinched. As Lia gave her a look as to say, are you dense hadn't we talked about this already; and you aren't suppose to say anything. Steph's mouth immediately, shaped to the form of an 'o'.
Rory shook her head at Steph's almost slip up, and now the boys; were curious as to what was going on now. They began to realize that the girls were keeping something from them, and Rory knew that Logan wasn't going to quit asking. Logan had a way of getting information out of her, but this time around she couldn't let him get his way. "Come on girls, let's go dance."
Lia and Steph quickly agreed to get away from the questioning eyes of the boys', and walked into the pool of people on the dance floor. The boy's on the other hand, while still watching the girls on the dance floor wondered what they had just missed. "Did my girlfriend just dodge us, from asking questions?"
"yes, I'm afraid so. Maybe if we can get Steph away from them, I can get her tipsy or drunk and get information out of her." Colin suggested to his friends, as he began to drool over the girls dancing provocatively with each other. It wasn't something they saw the three females do, and it was definitely a sight to see.
Logan couldn't take his eyes of Rory, even if he wanted too, which he didn't. Guys were eyeing her; and their friends Lia and Steph as well. He wouldn't let anything to happen to any of them, even if they were able to take care of themselves. "No, won't be able to do that. Now that she almost slipped they won't let her out of their sight."
"His right, Lia is too smart to let one of us get Steph drunk and walk out with her alone. Besides Lia nor Rory get drunk, so it really wouldn't work." Finn agreed with Logan's assessment, and he knew it to be true as well. Lia and Rory were too smart to let Steph out of their sight, until they had placed her in her dorm or one of theirs later the evening. Colin sighed into agreement, and they had agreed it would have to happen in a different way. So instead of trying to figure it out while watching the girls dance with each other, they decided to join them before the rest of the male population at the party did.
All throughout the night, the groups of friends were dancing and drink. Just plain having fun, while the girls were dodging at type of question concerning Steph's slip. Hours later everyone had left, and like usual the group of six were the lasts to leave the event. It seemed to be a routine for the group, only difference that evening was Colin being out of it before Steph. Though she was out as well so; Finn and Lia took Colin to the dorm room, while Logan and Rory took Steph to hers.
"God Steph and dead weight do not go well with heels, and a revealing outfit. Got to remember to make sure she stays awake next time, my feet are killing me." Rory said leaning against Logan as they walked to her and Lia's dorm room, since she really didn't live in hers with Paris. Paris and Doyle had become unbearable to see and hear, so she just lived with Lia basically.
Logan tightened his hold around Rory's waist, hoping to take some of the weight off of her feet. She had to be cold in outfit, but he himself didn't have anything to offer to keep her warm but himself. "Ace, why don't you let me carry you. We'll get there faster, and if anything Lia will probably get stuck at the boys' dorms for a while."
"Ok, fine I'm too cold to argue about it, but if one guy makes a comment about what they can see when you life me up, you don't get to put me down and fight him." Rory gave in; she really was too cold to argue with him. She really didn't care to be honest; she really just didn't want some random commenting and making Logan mad. She also had too much on her mind honestly, she had decided that tonight was going to be the night she talked to him about being a Hayden.
She was hoping he would take it well considering, she didn't want to have their first fight to be about her being an heir to the Hayden fortune. That was the big that she was worried about, that he would decided that it wasn't worth being with her, because she had kept something so huge from him. "When we get settled and changed, do you mind if we talk. It's nothing bad, well I don't think it is, but it's about something important nonetheless."
"Is it about us?" Logan asked nervously, hoping beyond hope that he hadn't done something to screw up their relationship already. She had mentioned that it wasn't bad, so he wondered what it could be outside of their relationship that was so important that she need to talk to him about. "You know what, it's fine we can talk when we're both warmer."
The rest of the way to the dorm was silent; it was slightly awkward because they were both nervous about the topic of conversation, but for different reasons. Rory had planned it though, that Lia would take all her time at Finn and Colin's, Lia even argued that she was positive she could make it so she slept over there tonight to give them privacy. Though if Rory needed her she'd only be a phone call away, if she was needed though nothing else.
Finally making it inside of the dorm room, they each went their separate way to change into warm comfortable clothing. Logan was the first to be finished, and decided that this called for coffee. That both probably wanted to be awake for this conversation, from the way Rory's voice held nervousness and anxiety. He was beginning to be able to read her better, and see the finer details of her. She was always surprising him though, with her knowledge and her brazenness attitude that she sometimes had. She had shown that side of herself a few times tonight, one of the most prominent times being when she called Finn on having a hard on for Lia.
"Oh you made coffee, thanks. I'm going to need some of that, for ore then one reason too." Rory claimed without realizing that it had made Logan even more nervous, because if she needed coffee that badly for tonight it couldn't be good.
Did his parents get to her again, or did her grandparents put too much pressure on her to make this relationship work. Honor was the only one in his immediate family that knew about his relationship status of his and Rory, so if his parent's did know and contacted her, he would be having a lengthily conversation with not only his parents but with honor as well. "What did you want to talk about, Ace?"
"You know how you were looking for Leigh Hayden, right?" Rory had begun with a question, hopefully making it easier by giving him hints to see if he could figure it out by himself. She knew it probably wasn't going to work that way, and she would need to explain a lot. That was what the coffee really was for; she needed to be fully aware for the conversation.
Logan was confused, because he had been worried it had to do with something concerning them as a couple, but alls she wanted to talk about was Leigh Hayden. He decided he would see where his girlfriend was taking this, especially since he could relax now knowing it had nothing to do with him. "Yeah of course, tonight was the night we were suppose to present her, but we couldn't find her."
"Yeah about announcing who she is, well in two weeks she will be announced to the entire world. Everyone will know who she is; it's going to be a very big event. A lot of reporters will be there, and it will be an ambush of questions." Rory started realizing that there was lot that was going to happen, she was just glad Lia was going to be there with her. That she wouldn't be alone in the process, but she would fell even better if Logan was there as well.
Logan could imagine what Leigh was going to go through, his father was probably going to be there. He would have a field day with finding out who the Hayden heiress really is, and his mother was probably going to try and get them together. He figured Rory didn't want to go by herself, and probably just wanted him to go with her for support for one of her best friends. "Is that what you wanted to talk about, if all you wanted was for me to go with you, you just need to ask Ace."
"That's part of it, but you might change your mind after I tell you this. Have you ever wondered why I'm best friends with her, and the only pictures you've seen of my best friends are of me and Lia only?" Rory asked hoping he would catch on, it was hard for to gauge his reaction. She really was getting scared more and more by the second, and she didn't want the newfound relationship they had to end.
Logan thought about, and quickly made a sweep of the room with his eyes around the place. It was true the only pictures of Rory with her best friends, was only really of her Lia and sometimes Tristan. The newer ones had the group, but all the older ones were of her and Lia only. "Now that you mention yeah I do, but I guess you could have just not put those pictures up. Protecting her from wondering people, especially to those who want to know who she is."
"Logan, what I'm about to tell you might change our relationship, I don't want it too but it's a major possibility that it will. You see those who do know of Leigh Hayden's existence, also know her as Lorelai Leigh Gilmore-Hayden, Rory for short." Rory told Logan with her eyes down casted towards the floor, she didn't want to see what Logan's face.
"You mean you're, the same person. But why???"
