Rory woke up by the early sunbeams that beamed into the room, unfamiliair about her whereabouts first, Rory soon began to realise where she was. In Logan's room.
Over the past few weeks that they had been together, they hardly spend any time apart from each other. The only thing that could seperate them were classes or moments when serious studying was necessary or when Lorelai, Finn, Colin or Stephanie were sick of it and wanted to seperate the two of them. But they always found each other again, they worked on the same hours at the Yale Daily News and since recently he was joining Rory at her grandparents' house every Friday. Her grandparents were thrilled by this all as her grandmother subtly tried to bring up the subject of children and marriage. Lorelai of course rolled her eyes and made sarcastic comments and everything seemed like it should be. She was Logan's girlfriend, she had great friends and a fantastic mother who was also her best friend. Her grandparents supported her relationship with Logan completely except there was one thing that bothered her, Logan's parents. Shira Huntzberger, Logan's mother, didn't seem to have any problems with her but it was Logan's father who was distant and sometimes made comments which were meant for Rory in order to tell her she wasn't the wife he wanted Logan to have in the future.
Logan of course also noticed these comments and wasn't thrilled by it, but Rory had convinced him that she didn't want this to get in the way of his relationship with his father.. She didn't want to cause any problems between him and his father. Logan had surrendered after a while since he couldn't compete with his girlfriend's bright blue eyes but he promised her that if he ever went too far, he would tell his father that he wasn't happy about the situation. Rory had tried to reason him at the time but this time Logan wasn't giving up so easily, so Rory agreed.
Other then that, everything was fine. And waking up next to each other was just another moment of pure bliss, until...
"Colin!" a voice cried out from the common dorm room and a door was being slammed. It appeared that Stephanie was angry with Colin again and was paying him an early morning visit again.
"I hate it when she does that," Logan complained as he rubbed his eyes.
"And goodmorning to you too," Rory said with a smile on her face as she rolled over to meet his eyes.
"Goodmorning," he replied back with a smile on his face and he gave her a brief kiss.
"It definitely is," Rory smirked back at him. "Until Stephanie barged into the dorm."
"I guess Colin did something bad again," Logan reasoned.
"When doesn't he?" Rory shot back at him as she placed her head on his bare chest. "I wonder what he did this time."
"Perhaps he disturbed Stephanie's date once again by running past them naked and screaming," Logan thought out loud.
"That would be somthing Finn would do," Rory told him. "Not Colin."
At the same moment, the door opened and Finn entered Logan's room and immediately closed the door behind him.
"Be quiet," he whispered as he moved to Logan's bed and jumped on it, next to Rory. "Stephanie is on a rampage again."
"What are you doing here Finn?" Rory asked him a bit emberassed.
"Hiding," Finn stated the obvious as his face slowly started to form a grin. "Of course the fact that you were here helped as well."
"Finn!" Logan warned him.
"What?" Finn acted oblivious but he knew that it would only emberass Rory some more. "Of course curiosity hit me, wondering if our lovely reporter girl was dressed or not."
"Finn!" Logan warned him once again, this time with a more warning look. "That's my girlfriend you're talking about."
"Okay, time for a change of subject," Rory spoke up while being slightly embarrassed. "So what did Colin do this time?"
"He ruined one of Stephanie's dates once again while he was drunk," Finn stated like it was obvious. "It was enjoyable though."
"You watched him?" Rory asked Finn with a small laugh. "You didn't stop him?"
"Of course not love," Finn replied. "It was hilarious how he ran past Stephanie and her date while screaming stuff I couldn't understand and I don't think anybody heard what he said. But just the look on Stephanie's face and the way Colin was acting was hilarious."
"Was he naked?" Rory asked all of a sudden, surprising herself a bit too.
"No, love," Finn answered dumbfounded. "If you're that desperate to see somebody naked, you can drop by my room tonight, you know. Say around eightish?"
"Finn!" Logan warned him once more.
"What? The girl needs love and it seems that you're not giving her enough," Finn grinned. "The pleasure will be all mine."
"Gross!" Rory spoke up with a hint of disgust in her voice and written on her face. "Back to Colin and Stephanie!"
"Just let them be," Logan said with a deep sigh as he rested his head once again while closing his eyes, trying to regain his sleep.
"So Colin can die the next time he pulls a stunt like that?" Rory responded. "Nope, we're going to interfere!"
"No you're not," Logan objected. "They'll figure things out."
"Like they've been trying for what, like a year now?" Rory shot back at him, not wanting to let Logan win this discussion.
"Reporter girl is right Logan," Finn agreed with Rory. "It's a hard task but somebody's got to do it."
"Don't act like this is a matter of life and death, Finn," Rory replied. "Spending too much time with the drama club girls?"
"No, but I did promise one of those girls a visit by yours truly," Finn said with a smirk on his face. "Thanks for the reminder."
"My pleasure," Rory sighed. "So what are we going to do?"
"Nothing," Logan objected once more.
"Shush," Rory told him. "Nobody asked you anything."
"You've got yourself quite a woman there, mate," Finn told his best friend with a grin on his face.
"You have no idea," Logan smirked back which made Rory blush as she hit him on the chest.
"Stop!" Rory begged as she started to head for the door that would lead her away from these two men. "I think there's a coffeemaker named Joe in the common room, screaming for me to come visit!"
"Come on Ace!" Logan said as he put his arms around her waist and dragged her back in bed. "You don't want to go into the lion's den, now do you?"
"To be honest, it sounds pretty good to me right now," Rory smirked as she again tried to get out of the bed, only to be drawn back again by Logan. The minute Rory wanted to object, Stephanie's voice was heard again, followed by a loud slam, meaning that she had left the dorm. It was safe again.
"No need for a thank you," Logan smirked as he let go of Rory, who immediately got out of bed and grabbed a robe to cover herself up some more.
"Ok," Rory replied with a smile as she headed for the common room to get herself some coffee. She put on the coffee maker and sat down as Finn emerged from Logan's room, followed by Logan.
As Rory waited for the coffee to be done, Finn prepared breakfast, making some toast and eggs. A few minutes later Colin emerged out of his room, looking like a zombie.
"You made a visit to the Village, Colin?" Rory asked out of the blue as Colin took a seat at the nearby table.
"No," Colin replied
"The big bad forest?"
"No."
"Michael Jackson's Neverland?"
"No," Colin replied a bit more agitated.
"You had your own version of the 'Blair Witch Project'?" Rory questioned him once again.
"That movie isn't scary at all love," Finn commented.
"I know," Rory nodded in agreement. "But you know Colin, he would even scream if somebody tapped on his shoulder. He gets scared too fast!"
Finn surrendered. "You're right love. Especially if that certain somebody is a girl called Stephanie."
"Steph doesn't scare me," Colin retorted. "I resent that!"
"Dear God, you hit such a high note when Stephanie found you in your Garfield boxers a week ago," Finn reasoned, causing Rory to laugh. "Even Celine Dion can't hit such a high note man."
"Wow Finn I never took you for a Celine Dion fan," Rory laughed. "And Garfield? Do you have a thing for the cartoon or are you a closet Jennifer Love Hewitt fan?"
Colin chose to ignore his friends and leaned his head onto the table.
"Stephanie's dating world," Finn remarked with a sigh as he sat down in front of his friend at the table, followed by Rory as Logan chose to watch the situation in front of him from a distance, not wanting to get involved with this, knowing how annoying it could be when friends started to meddle with your private life.
"You hit the jackpot Finn!" Rory smiled.
"Do I get a prize?" Finn said excited.
"Not from me," Rory immediately told him.
"No fair," Finn pouted as Rory rolled her eyes in return.
Colin decided to step up and walk back to his room, not wanting to hear them talk about it any longer.
"Man he needs help," Finn commented.
"Any ideas?" Rory said intrigued.
"As a matter of fact I do," Finn said with a bright smile on his face. "Now Logan, don't you think it's time for a brand new Life and Death Brigade event?"
"Oh boy," Logan sighed as he watched how his girlfriend and best friend started to develop their plan to get Colin and Stephanie together.
A few days later, on a friday morning there was a knock on Rory's dorm door.
"Mom, I have to go," Rory said into the phone as she opened the door to let Logan come inside.
"Let me go with you!" Lorelai begged over the phone. "Luke is no fun!"
"You can't come!" Rory told her mother in a strict way.
"Please, please, please!" her mother begged once more. "I'll promise that I won't mock anybody!"
"Don't make promises that you can't keep. Besides, one of us has to go to Friday night diner," Rory reasoned as she handed her bag to Logan, grabbed her purse and together they left her dorm.
"No fair that you let me go there by myself," Lorelai told her daugher while pouting her face, even though Rory couldn't see that. "Because of you I went back to Friday night horror!"
"You're trying to make me feel guilty?" Rory asked her mother.
"Is it working?"
"Nope, I'll talk to you again on monday," Rory commented.
"You'd better bring presents!"
"Sure thing! Bye!" Rory said as she shut down her phone and put it into her purse.
"So are you ready Ace?" Logan asked her as they headed for the black SUV that was waiting for them on the parking lot.
Rory nodded in return as they entered the SUV. When stepping inside she noticed that Finn was behind the steering wheel and that Colin sat next to him in the passenger's seat. In the back of the car were Stephanie and Rosemary.
"Hey Ror," Stephanie greeted Rory.
"Hey Steph, Rosemary," Rory smiled as she took a seat next to Logan in the car. "And how are Colin and Finn doing on this fine day?"
"It's early," Finn complained as usual.
"I agree," Colin said.
"Did I just enter the Twilight Zone?" Rory wondered with a smile as Colin responded with a grunt.
The had decided to take a plane to their destination. The rest of the trip went by quietly. Rosemary and Stephanie whispered to each other the whole time, Colin slept most of the time and Finn drove in silence. Rory and Logan just enjoyed each other's company by holding hands and having small banters. After arriving at the airport and taking the plane to their destination, the group landed in Florida.
"Welcome to Florida Ace!"
"It's sunny," Rory remarked as she placed her hand above her eyes so she wouldn't be blinded by the sun.
"Once again you prove to be an ace reporter," Logan smirked as they stepped down the stairway to step down on solid ground.
"Well it's sunny," Rory replied. "One can't deny that."
"Finn picked the location, of course it's sunny," Logan told her.
"Because I'm exotic!" Finn piped in from behind them.
"Really Finn, you saying that is becoming quite old," Rory smiled at him.
After putting their luggage in the limo that was waiting for them, they took a small ride to the hotel. Logan and Colin checked everybody in as the rest of them waited in the lobby.
"Where's the rest of the brigade?" Stephanie wondered.
"They'll arrive tomorrow," Finn explained. "So we've got the entire day with just the six of us!"
"Lets hit the beach!" Rosemary suggested.
"I'm all in, I'm dying to see Rosemary in her bikini," Finn smirked.
"And the pub at night," Stephanie suggested.
"Sounds like a plan to me," Finn agreed once again as he put his arms around both girls' shoulders. "Have I told you girls lately that I love you?"
"Often enough," Rosemary said as he brushed off his arm as did Stephanie.
"How much did you drink Finn?" Stephanie wondered.
"Not enough yet," Finn remarked. "I still know your names."
At that moment Colin and Logan returned with some keys in their hands.
"Okay guys, we're all checked in. We've got three two-bedded rooms," Logan announced. "Who's going to share a room with who?"
"Rosemary or Rory sounds fine by me," Finn commented with a smile as he hugged Rory tightly. "See girls, Rory isn't complaining when I hug her."
"That's because I can hardly breathe," Rory told him, causing everybody to laugh.
"What about me Finn? You don't want to share a room with me?" Stephanie pouted while semi-smiling at him.
"We've known each other since we were three," Finn remarked. "That would be weird."
"And you sleeping in the same room as my girlfriend wouldn't be weird?" Logan remarked as he put his arm around his girlfriend's waist.
"No, not at all."
"Well I'm sorry Finny," Rory offered him a sympathetic smile. "Logan is my first pick."
"Then please love, thell me that I'm your second pick?" Finn asked her while going down on his knees in front of her, throwing her a pair of begging eyes.
"Jury's still out on that," Rory smirked.
Logan smiled at his girlfriend as he continued to arrange the rooms. "So who else will share a room?"
"I don't want to spend a room with either Finn or Colin. So what do you say Rose?" Stephanie asked her.
"Sounds good to me girly!"
"Great! Now I have to share a room with Finn," Colin remarked sarcastically.
"It's not like you were my first pick either Colin," Finn remarked.
They all headed up to their room by taking the elevator. All of their rooms were next to each other and they agreed to meet each other again in 10 minutes outside on the hallway.
They all entered their respective rooms and Rory was astonished by the sight in front of her.
"It's huge," Rory said as she looked at the entire room. "and beautiful!"
"Not as beautiful as you are Ace," Logan smirked as he tugged his arms around his waist from behind her.
"That's a very cheesy line Logan," Rory smiled at him. "You really couldn't think of a better opening line?"
"Opening line?" Logan wondered, slightly confused. "Don't I already have you as my girlfriend?"
"Yes you do," Rory confirmed with a smile, loving the sound of Logan telling her she was his girlfriend. "But still, if you don't have an opening line I might start to like another guy better because he has a better opening line and I would feel hurt because you can't think of a decent one for me. So my point is that if you don't think of a better one, I might go out with the next Johnny Depp that comes my way. After all, Jack is back!"
"That totally made sense," Logan remarked sarcastically. "Are you already getting sick of me Ace?"
"Well I have yet to vomit," Rory smirked.
"Haha, very funny," Logan told her as he gave her a brief kiss on the lips. "Now let's go, they're probably waiting for us."
"Okay, let me grab my purse," Rory said as she grabbed her purse that was lying on the bed. "You know I actually think that this weekend Colin and Steph might get together."
"What makes you say that?" Logan wondered.
"Didn't you feel the attraction between those two downstairs?" Rory wondered.
"Yes the love was so there," Logan joked.
"Men! They really have no clue about love," Rory remarked.
"Ouch! That hurts Ace!"
"Good," Rory smirked as she headed for the door.
"You're evil, do you know that?"
"I was born that way," Rory smiled as she opened the door, seeing that their friends were waiting for them. "My momma will be so proud!"
Logan laughed as they joined his friends. This was going to be a great and interesting weekend as they headed for the elevator together.
