A/N: okay, so this isn't the longest chapter in existence, but oh well, I like it. I tries to fit in Marty more last chapter, but that was my best draft overall, so sorry if you were disappointed.

REVIEW REPSONSES: To Ali-Chan1: thanks so much. Yeah the interactions between all the different characters is always fun. Let me just say that the reason the everyone in the LDB will stick up for Rory has absolutely nothing to do with her and everything to do with Logan. The only consistent exception to that is Tristan, simply because he was friends with her before she was with Logan. To Hopes2High: thanks, here's the update. To Gilmoregirl7878: yeah, sucks that it had to happen while Logan was gone. To Lackinglime123: thanks. See my general note below. Wow, that's really cool about your sister's horse, but completely out of my knowledge range. Here's the update. To Coffeeaddict1515: not this chapter but the next chapter will be their reunion. Rory trusts Logan, sort of, but he's not exactly being the best boyfriend. Here's the update. To ShotswithMrsKim: thanks. See my general note below. To RunnerNDA: thanks. Yes, when Dean gets forced away, it's always best. Yeah, Tristan's really cool in the story, if I do say so myself (she writes with such humility). Logan will be back next chapter (not this chapter though, so don't be confused). I wouldn't say that they, necessarily, genuinely care about Rory, but they do genuinely care about Logan, so they don't want the first girl he's given a second thought to getting harassed on their watch. Not that I don't like the stories where Rory's all "Miss LDB", loved by all, but Finn is no "big brother she never had" or anything like that in this story. If anything happens to cause Logan and Rory to fight, unless Logan is very, very, very obviously in the wrong, they'll be siding with Logan, not Rory. Here's a new chapter to make up for the excruciating wait. To Sparxx27: thanks. Dean did not announce it to a courtyard full of people. They were in a secluded corner, and it was meant only for Rory to hear. The LDB guys just happened to be purposefully trying to hear what Dean and Rory were saying, that's why they heard. Logan won't be coming back this chapter, but next chapter. To Danishgirl9: Thanks. To IamLorelai: I agree, but it's not gonna happen this chapter. To Precious421: well, it depends on how you look at it, but I understand your position. He should at least call, and in this chapter you'll see some Logan/Amy interaction. To Citygrl: no, it doesn't look good for Rory and Logan, but you never know. You do know what's wrong with Alex; check back in chapter 30 and 31 double chapter. Before the story begins, I explained it. As to why no one has mentioned it to Rory, check below in the general note. To Brown-eyed-beauty: just one more chapter to go, now. To Justine260: He will be in this chapter and will come to Yale next chapter. To Babybee13: you weren't in school today! Is everything all right? Am I going to have to have Chelly tape Gilmore Girls for me? Hope you're okay! To Rogan-trory-sethsummer-love: This will most definitely still be a Rogan; I can't imagine writing anything else! Thanks. To Ladyro7: two reviews in a row; I feel special. No, not much plot development last chapter, but there was a bit of character insight which I enjoyed writing. As always, thanks so much for the suggestions. I can say that I have always been planning for Rory and Alex to get along famously. I don't know what you meant by "getting serious", but she will have a talking to with both Rory (mostly like what you said) and Logan (whose talking to will nearly give him a heart attack – well, not really, but he will not be expecting it). There will be comic relief eventually. I'm already planning a chapter called "You Slept with My Priest!". You can't get much more comic relief-y than that. To Sweet-little-devil-one: hi thanks for the reviews, but could you try to write in at least longer fragments; I'm not sure how to respond to a question mark and "ok". To Aznangel4eva: that line was actually a last minute addition, but I liked it too. Tristan was pretty cool, wasn't he?

GENERAL NOTE: Rory knows nothing about what going on with Logan; don't worry, when she does, it will be very obvious considering the fact that I will show Loganb telling her exactly what's been going on. I had a question about why the boys haven't told her anything. Rory and Logan have been exclusive less than a month, and for Finn and Colin to have already formed a bond with her that goes beyond their bond with Logan is impractical. Tristan, however, is a different story. He doesn't like not telling Rory anything because they are friends, but as I have already said, it's taboo among the children of the elite, as the LDB-ers are, to even say the actual name of the disease, let alone tell someone not related to the current events about it. Plus, Amy would rather not have people banging down her doorstep, so as a general rule, no one says much. The guys don't know what Rory knows, either. That is to say, They don't know if Rory knows or not or if she even knows who Amy is (which she doesn't) so they're simply waiting for Logan. That about sums it up. Now on with the story…

Chapter 35: Yes, Ma'am

"Under… around… back through… and over… Logan, come on! It's not that difficult."

"Well, maybe I'm just not meant to be an expert knitter."

" 'Not meant to be an expert knitter'? Logan, you can't even do one knit! I've worked with mentally disabled three year olds that are better at knitting than you are! There are blind old ladies in the last stages of dementia who can knit patterned blankets with five different colors and not drop a stitch, but you can't get enough knitting done for it to even be possible to drop a stitch!"

"Since when are you the champion of knitting anyway?"

"Don't change the subject, Logan."

In his pocket, Logan's cellphone began to ring.

"No cell phones in the hospital."

"It's just Finn anyway." He ignored the call, but a few seconds later Finn called again. He hit "ignore" then shut off his phone. "Idiot must have gotten drunk and forgotten where I am."

"Must have. Now, about your inability to knit – "

"How about you knit and I read to you what ever you want."

"Whatever I want, huh? So if I ask you to read a harlequin novel to me, you would?"

"I have a hard time believing you would have a harlequin novel with you considering the speech you give to Cassy everytime you see her reading one about how it originally meant 'demon huntsman' in French."

"True. But you don't have to bother reading to me; I know how much you hate to read out loud, and you don't have to knit either."

"Thank you." Logan leaned back in his chair, expecting Aims to go back to knitting, but she continued to look at him in her annoying all-knowing way. "What did I do?"

"Nothing."

"Okay."

"And that's the problem."

"Meaning…?"

"Allison gets out of court, God willing, today."

"No."

"Logan, you've missed nearly an entire week of school. And by the way, have you even called Rory? You don't go back to her soon, and you're not going to have a girlfriend to go back to, assuming she hasn't already decided to kick you to the curb."

"I called her Friday night."

"Friday night! Logan, it's Thursday! Are you serious telling me that you haven't called your girlfriend in nearly a week?"

"I've had other things on my mind, Aims."

"You are going back to Yale tomorrow morning if not tonight."

"Ai-"

"Logan, you are going back to Yale."

Logan sighed defeatedly. "Yes, ma'am."
