"Loin fruit are you really going to spend all summer away from you life giver again?" Lorelai whines
"Mom I will be back a few weeks before classes start gee, and I'm sure you could fly out and see us once or twice when we hit land," Rory says
"you won't need to be on land often on the fancy floating palace" Lorelai whines.
"Mom I'm going to be on a boat with 5 guys and 3 other girls, I'm sure I'm going to need plenty of land time seeing as two of those guys are Colin and Finn," Rory says
"I promise you say the word I will fly you to the closest port, and we will meet you there," Logan says
"Alright, I guess. Just make sure you get mommy lot's and lot's of presents too" Lorelai says happily.
"I will and load's of pictures," Rory says
"both appropriate and inappropriate I hope," Lorelai asks.
"Of course. PG 14 of Logan and me and everything of everyone else" Rory says laughing.
"Good girl. Now when do you leave?" Lorelai asks
"We are leaving Friday to fly to Sydney, and then we leave right away on the yacht and head to Auckland for a few days then we are taking a few weeks to get to Fiji," Logan says
"I still don't understand why you would want to spend your anniversary on a yacht with 7 other people," Lorelai says
"Because it just so happens to be our summer vacation also and we may get a hotel room for a night on the actual anniversary," Rory says
"Fine, I hope I get to have dinner with you both at least once and possibly a movie night and a day of shopping too," Lorelai says
"Deal, you get Rory Wednesday for shopping then we have dinner and a movie night after," Logan says
"I can do that" Lorelai says
"Hey girl your bargaining over right here," Rory says
"Yes sweetie I know and your such a pretty girl," Lorelai says snickering.
"What if I'm busy that day?" Rory asks
"I know you are with me," Lorelai says
"No, I had plans to shop in NY with the girls..." Rory says
"Well am I not a girl?" Lorelai asks batting her eyelashes
"Yes you are," Rory says
"See I don't see why you made a big deal about Wednesday," Lorelai says smirking.
"Ugh... " Rory says turning around and walking away.

"Do we have all the food we will be needing?" Paris asks
"Yes Paris, all the food, and medical stuff we will need," Logan says
"Is this going to be enough alcohol?" Finn asks
"Finn this will last till we at least get to Auckland then we get more then we will have enough to last until Fiji, and we can get more as we need it," Robert says
"Ok, so there are 4 double suites and two twin suites so..." Honor says being cut off
"I call a double suite," Tristan says
"HEY... Everyone listen geez" Honor yells.
Rory and Logan get the master suite, Colin and I get the VIP suite, Paris and Robert get a double suite, and Finn gets a double suite, Tristan and Steph each get the twin suites" Honor says
"Why does Finn get a double suite?" Tristan huffs
"Finn gets a double suite because it was his father who helped us get this yacht and he's a bed hog we all know he won't fit in a twin, and frankly I don't want to hear the whining if he falls out of bed," Honor says
"Fine but I call first dibs on chicks," Tristan says
"Yes Mate you get first dibs but don't be surprised when they drop you for my sexy exotic self," Finn says
After they triple checked their supply's for the trip, they set off on their journey. The whole reason they decided to go on this trip was that Mitchum chose to buy a yacht that was big enough for the now growing family. The Huntzburger's past one was much smaller because it had only meant to fit Mitchum, Shira, Elias, Emma and the two kids, Now he wanted one to fit the whole family plus any children that may come in the near future.
Mitchum had found the perfect yacht, It was a 114ft, 6 cabins (4 x Double, 2 x Twin), a large jacuzzi, sun pads, BBQ that held up to 12 guests and 6 crew.
August 8th, 2003
Everyone was home from Fiji finally. After they left Fiji, the yacht had been sent to Hawaii to be docked.
Over their vacation everyone had a good time, Tristan and Steph once again spent a lot of time together, and Finn felt the need to bring as many girls back with his as possible of course. The three days between July 8th and 10th everyone decided to let Logan and Rory have some alone anniversary time as a surprise gift, so they stayed on land in one of Finn's family hotels.
Steph had a bit of a pregnancy scare that she and Tristan decided to keep between them, but it turned out to be a false alarm but that doesn't mean Tristan and her hadn't worried, they made sure after that to always use protection and if there was a doubt about using protection she got Plan B asap.
Everyone spent a good few nights in clubs and had fun when people would hit on them, of course, Finn would bring a girl or two a night back when he could and only once did one try to sneak in the room of someone else at night, and they all just laughed at it the next day.
"Loin fruit and her posse" Lorelai squeals
"Mother..." Rory whines
"Lorelai good to see you haven't changed," Logan says
"Husband of my loin fruit, good to see you both back in one piece. Did you try to drown anyone?" Lorelai asks
"Pleading the fifth" Logan groans.
"Oh Goddess Lorelai, How I have missed you," Finn says
"Finn, good to see you still drunk as always and smart" Lorelai laughs.
"Not drunk just merry and thank you, would you be able to tell my professors that I'm actually smart?" Finn says
"Sorry Finn I don't think they would believe me," Lorelai says
"Lorelai," everyone else says coming for hugs.
"Bible boy... You're alive... Wonderful" Lorelai smirks
"I'm too good of a swimmer, and sharks don't like me I don't have enough soft meat on me," Tristan says laughing.
"I'm sure you wouldn't taste good either," Finn says laughing.
"So are you all coming to the hollow for the festival tonight?" Lorelai asks
"What festival?" Rory asks
"Crazy Hazy days of summer," Lorelai says
"I thought that was next week," Rory says
"No, it's this week," Lorelai says
"We're in," Honor says
"You know I'm always in for the crazy festivals," Tristan says
"Of course we couldn't get rid of you if we tried," Paris says
"I guess we will all be there," Logan says
"Good, do any of you need rooms?" Lorelai asks
"Maybe 3, that is if it's ok for me and logan to stay in my old room," Rory says
"Yes you two can stay in there just please keep any kinkiness down we don't need Luke hearing," Lorelai says
"Mother we wouldn't" Rory exclaims
"I don't think you would, but I know someone else may try," Lorelai says looking at Logan.
"No, I know not to do anything to drastic or loud near family, no need to let everyone know our habits," Logan says
"that's good because no one needs to know," Lorelai says
"Ok well how about we all go get settled in and we meet back up at Lukes in about a half hour," Rory says
A Half hour later - Lukes Diner
"So here's the plan, Movie night Gilmore style," Lorelai says
"Sounds like a plan," Tristan says
"You kids pick out the goodies, I will pick out the movies. Any request's?" Lorelai asks
"Eight-legged freaks, a midsummer nights rave, swimming upstream, Rushmore, Tuck everlasting any of those sound good, there are 2 actors that remind me of Logan and Rory," Finn says
"Who?" Logan asks
"Matt Czuchry and Alexis Bledel. You both look like them a lot" Finn says
"Ya I can see it too, they are both up and coming actors, her more so as shes also a model," Robert says
"I will see if I can find 3 or 4 of those movies, Tuck everlasting seems like it's a good movie," Lorelai says
"Meet back at the house?" Rory asks
"Yes, first there starts arranging the Livingroom," Lorelai says
An hour later everyone was back at the house and watched the 2 movies Lorelai was able to get, Tuck everlasting and eight-legged freaks. After the movies, Logan and Rory went to bed in her old room, and the others went to their hotel rooms and planned to meet up the next day at Luke's at 10:00 am for breakfast then the fair.
August 9th, 2003
Lukes Diner 10:00 am
"Here's the plan first we hit the hotdog's, then pretzels, lemonade, funnel cakes, cotton candy, candy apples, snow cones, ice cream and then anything else we may feel like after that" Lorelai says
"Please tell me you don't plan on us eating all that junk," Paris asks.
"You don't have to eat like a Gilmore as you aren't one or even married to one, but I do challenge Logan to try without getting sick," Lorelai says
"Don't fall for it you will get sick, they will make you eat until you burst" Luke says
"I know better than to take that challenge the boys would do things to make me get sick faster and make bets on how long it would take," Logan says
The whole group followed Rory and Lorelai watching how much they ate and to see if they ever did get full... they were disappointed when neither girl got full by the end of the evening. Lorelai did end up eating almost twice what Rory did as Rory was eating less since she married Logan and wasn't living with her mom anymore. Taylor, of course, was happy Rory had brought all her friends to the festival for the weekend as they spent a lot of money on games and food, Taylor was pleased to tell the town that they had far exceeded the previous year's income of the festival. The group spent the next day until around 3:00 pm at the festival making sure to have fun before they had to head to back to get ready for school.
Once they made it back to New Haven, they went to the pub for dinner and drinks and met up with a few of their other LDB friends they had met at Yale.
They had decided that this would be a good time to talk about this year's first big LDB event, they had agreed on having a Hero's and Villain's themed party followed by various activities before the big stunt.
