Author's Note: Time jump, it's time for Logan's graduation. I'm glad a lot of you enjoyed the House and Grey's Anatomy characters. I loved writing them. The only other show I'm going to put in this Fan Fic is Ugly Betty characters. If you've ever watched the show, you'd notice that the main male lead has the exact same life as Logan. I thought that was weird. The character's name is Daniel Mead and he's a rich playboy whose father owns a publishing company. Weird huh? Those characters won't come in for a while though. Anyway, this fic is going to have around 53 chapters, so I hope you are enjoying it. I already have ideas for other fics that didn't come from my sub conscious mind. I wrote this chapter while watching "Breakfast at Tiffanys," and "Moon River," came on, hence the name of the chapter.

Disclaimer: The only thing I own is my dreams…. I think….

Chapter 29

Moon River

Rory snapped a million pictures as Logan went up to the stage to except his diploma. It was a bitter sweet moment, because in the morning Logan would be leaving for London and she would be left behind. Yet, she couldn't help but feel happy for him. He had graduation he was finally growing up and he would be entering the work force despite his protests. The only thing that was really bothering Rory was they hadn't defined what would happen to them when Logan left. Would they break up, stay friends, or try the dreaded long distance relationship? Rory had no idea what Logan was thinking and she had been trying to analyze his actions all week. She couldn't decipher what was going on in his head. She thought about asking him, but they were having such a good time being in denial. The months together had flown by so quickly. If only they hadn't wasted those months at the beginning of the year. She looked out from behind her camera lens and saw that Logan was beaming and holding up his diploma. She looked back inside of her camera lens. She liked the view better from in there.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Logan held his diploma and beamed for the cameras. On the outside he looked ecstatic, but on the inside he was terrified. He was being forced to move to London tomorrow which meant being thrust into a work environment and leaving the woman he loved. It wasn't like this was a spur of the moment decision for his father. This had been planned since Logan was born. Logan had never hesitated about it before, but now there was a complication, Rory. Logan had been weighing his options all week and he had come to a conclusion. He had chosen the adult decision, one that would alter their relationship entirely. He knew he had to do it, because it wasn't fair to Rory that he would be in London and she would be in New Haven wondering about his faithfulness. It was the most logical choice, even if it was hard to do. Logan had a lunch with his family after the ceremony and then afterwards he and Rory were going to dinner. He would do it tonight at dinner. No matter how much it terrified him.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Rory waited until the ceremony was over and she went up to Logan. She tried to read his facial expression to see what he was thinking.

"Hey mister college graduate," she said feebly. Logan gave her a weak smile and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll see you later," he said nervously. He was shaking and wouldn't look Rory in the eye. He turned to his parents and they left, leaving Rory watching him walk away.

"Oh yeah," Rory thought to herself, "he's dumping me."

Rory got into her car and dialed her mother's cell phone.

"Lorelai Gilmore's house of hunky diner men," Lorelai said in a receptionist tone.

"Lorelai stop answering the phone like that!" she heard Luke cry in the background.

"Chill your grill Dr. Phil, it's just Rory," Lorelai said to Luke. "Hey kiddo how was the ceremony?" Rory sighed weakly. She was on the brink of tears.

"Uh fine," she said frailly. There was silence on the other end.

"You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine I'm just going to miss him."

"He'll be back," Lorelai said reassuringly.

"That's not what I'm worried about," Rory said laughing nervously.

"What are you worried about?"

"Nothing I just, I'll call you later," Rory said quietly.

"Rory wait," Lorelai said urgently.

"Bye mom," Rory said quickly hanging up on her. She put her hands on the steering wheel and tried to regain composer. If Logan was going to dump her, she wouldn't cry in front of him.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Logan reached her dorm room and knocked nervously. He had made his decision and he was going to stick to it. Hailey opened the door.

"Hello," she said shortly.

"Hello," Logan said raising his eyebrows. He was surprised by her cold tone. Hailey led him into the living room where he sat down on the couch. Hailey sat down on a chair near by.

"She'll be out in a minute," she said. Logan nodded and looked around the room avoiding eye contact with her. He could tell she was glaring at him. He heard a door open and he saw Rory. She was wearing a dark blue, spaghetti strap, cocktail dress. That had a bow tied around the middle and there were rhinestones on the bottom. Logan gave her a feeble smile and stood up. He tried to kiss her but she turned her head, so he gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Ready to go?" He asked. Rory nodded and he took her hand, she seemed to flinch from the contact. Logan stared at her. Did she know what he was going to do tonight? He led her to his car and he got into the drivers seat. They drove towards the restaurant, Casa Mia Ristornate, an expensive Italian restraint in Hartford. They drove in awkward silence. Rory was looking out the window and she looked radiant in the moonlight. God, this would be so much easier if she didn't look so beautiful.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

When they got to the restaurant, Logan went up to the hostess.

"Huntzberger table for two 8:30," he said quickly. He squeezed Rory's hand and Rory shot him a glare. Why was he doing this to her, couldn't he just dump her and get it over with? The hostess led them to a table that was secluded. They sat down and the hostess gave them menus.

"Your server will be here shortly," she said sweetly. Rory nodded and opened her menu. She didn't know what to order and wasn't really reading the menu. The table was shaking. Rory put down her menu and looked under the table, Logan was shaking his leg nervously. Rory rolled her eyes and picked up her menu again.

"You're going to wear a hole in the floor," she nagged. Logan stopped and looked up. He picked up his menu and they went back to silence. A few minutes later the waitress came and asked them what they wanted to drink.

"Scotch neat," Logan said quickly.

"Uh the house wine please," Rory said.

"Are you two ready to order?" The waitress asked. Rory looked up at Logan who nodded.

"Yeah, um I'll have the fettucini alfredo." Rory said handing the waitress the menu. They looked towards Logan waiting for his answer, but he seemed distracted. "Uh Logan." Logan looked up startled

"Uh sorry, I'll have what she's having," he mumbled. The waitress nodded and took his menu too. Rory blinked at Logan. Why was he being so distant? This was their last night together, and since he was dumping her the least he could do was be pleasant. Logan reached out and grabbed Rory's hand.

"I love you," he said sheepishly. Rory gave him a weak smile and he squeezed her hand. "You know that right?" Rory stared at him.

"Yeah I do," she said quietly. Her eyes were clouding over with tears, but she held them back. She was not going to cry in front of him. Logan sighed and let go of her hand.

"I'm going to miss you so much," he said. Rory closed her eyes, releasing a tear.

"I'm going to miss you too," she said choking on her words. Logan reached across the table and wiped her tears away.

"Don't cry, I'm sorry for bringing it up," he said quietly. Rory smiled.

"We had to eventually."

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

After they finished with the main courses, they ordered desert. The band started playing Henri Mancini's rendition of "Moon River." Logan sighed. He guesses it was now or never. He lent forward towards Rory.

"Rory I want to talk about something with you," he said firmly but quietly. He looked into Rory's eyes and saw pure terror. He hoped she hadn't figured out what he was going to do.

"Uh huh," she said quickly. She was frightened there was no doubt about that.

"As you know I'm going to London tomorrow, possibly for a long time and you're going to be here." Rory nodded so he continued.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

"And I feel like doing a long distance relationship would be too hard without some sort of reassurance." He said. Rory clamped her eyes shut, this was it he was going to dump her. She tried to hold in the hot tears that were trying to escape from her eyes. She waited for him to say the words, but he never did. Instead she felt him hold her left hand. She opened her eyes and saw Logan on one knee smiling up at her. This was not a normal breaking up stance.

"Rory Gilmore I love more than any one in the world, and I know this maybe fast but I know this is ultimately where we are heading so I'm skipping some steps. Being without you is going to be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do, so I want some reassurance that you are all in." He reached into his pocket and took out a black velvet case with the Huntzberger seal on it. He opened it up and revealed a princess cut, antique, diamond, engagement ring on a silver band. Around the band were a dozen smaller diamonds and on the inside of the band was the Huntzberger family seal. Rory gasped and stared at it stunned. He smiled and continued. "Rory I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I hope you feel the same way. Rory Gilmore will you marry me?" Rory didn't tear her eyes away from the ring, she barely heard what Logan had said and she didn't say anything. She just continued to stare at that ring. She tore her eyes away from it and looked down at Logan. He looked up at her expectantly, waiting for her answer. Rory opened her mouth to speak but she couldn't form the words.
