Deciding on a summer dress with a light cardigan, Rory finishes getting dressed for Friday night dinner. She had picked the dress as she knew Logan liked it and the cardigan helped make it more appropriate for dinner at her grandparents. Plus it negated any reason for a jacket - a tip she remembered from last week's dinner. She walked out into the living room. "Mom, surely you're ready by now!" she yelled up the stairs. "I've had time to take a shower, get dressed, pack, and even check emails and return texts in the amount of time you've been up there!"

"When it's dinner with your grandparents, I'll never be ready." said Lorelai, walking down the stairs, holding her heels in one hand. "I know, you're smart - invent a time machine and go back in time to when I agreed to continue these dinners. It shouldn't be hard it was just after you graduated in May."

"I don't think time machines are easier to build just because the time you want to go back is only months." said Rory with a laugh. "And science was never my thing. April might be able to help you with that one day though."

"Yeah, I doubt either of you could get it done before we have to leave." said Lorelai, giving herself one last look in a mirror. "At least tell me if I was wearing this dress last week?"

"Nope, you had the pink with black ties in the back on last week." said Rory. "So you should be good."

"Not sure why you are in a hurry to go, Kid, after last week." said Lorelai, picking up her purse and keys and walking out after Rory. "I would have figured I would have to make you go."

"Something about just getting it over with." said Rory, as Lorelai tried to start the Jeep. "What's wrong?"

"Battery's drained, I believe." said Lorelai, with a sigh.

"Don't tell me you used the headlights as outside lights again." said Rory. "And yes, Luke told me about that."

"Not this time. More like I was taking Paul Anka to his vet visit earlier and well he gets bored in the car, so I had the a/c up so he wouldn't get hot and then we stopped and listened to my new CD for awhile." said Lorelai. "Michel was driving me up a wall about one of the guests and I just wanted to kill some time...guess it also killed the battery. I can get Luke to drive me to get another one tomorrow. I wonder if this qualifies as a reason not to go?"

Rory rolls her eyes at her mom. "We can take my car." said Rory. "Just drop me at Logan's after dinner and then I can get him to drive me home Sunday."

A little while later, they are knocking on the door to the Gilmore mansion. The maid answers and lets them in and they enter the sitting room where the elder Gilmore's are waiting.

"Hey Mom, hey Dad." said Lorelai, sitting on one of the couches. Rory sits next to her. Richard is reading the paper as usual.

"Hello Lorelai, hello Rory." said Emily smiling, standing up. "The usual drink for you Lorelai? And a soda for you Rory?"

"That sounds great, Grandma." said Rory, wondering how tonight would go. "Hey Grandpa, anything good happening in the world?"

"Not really." said Richard sitting down the paper and smiling warmly at his granddaughter. "How about in your world?"

"Well this is as good of time as any. I had my first ultrasound this week." said Rory, pulling out the image for Emily and Richard to see. "And Logan and I bought a house in Stars Hollow."

"Really?" said Emily, passing the image to Richard. "I would have figured Logan would want to live here in Hartford near his family and you would have likely only been a few minutes from us."

Rory sighed a little, knowing she would have a headache before the night is out. "We actually both agreed on Stars Hollow." said Rory. "And we would be near Mom and the town is pretty much an extended family to everyone."

"Congratulations on the house." said Richard, handing Rory back her picture. "So everything good on the health front?"

"Healthy as ever, Grandpa." said Rory, noticing her grandmother had went quiet. "Stars Hollow isn't that far away - it's not like we aren't going to see one another."

"Yeah Mom." said Lorelai. "We see each other every week now and it's not going to change any time soon. And I know I'm a little excited to be a grandma, though it's a little younger than maybe any of us thought it might be." She gave Rory a smile, hoping Rory realized she hadn't meant offense. Rory smiled back understanding.

"I guess that's all true." said Emily.

The maid came in and said dinner was ready and everyone moved to the dining room. Dinner went quietly with some idle chat, but Rory noticed her grandmother being a little more quiet than usual. Deciding quiet was better than fighting, she chooses to let it go and soon enough dessert is over and her and Lorelai are walking out to the car.

"So dinner was quiet." said Rory to Lorelai getting into the car. "Guess that's better than loud?"

"Oh, Hun, your grandmother just sees you picking a path closer to mine." said Lorelai, giving Rory a pat on the arm. "She'll get over it soon and she always liked Logan. You had to notice she said nothing negative at all about him."

"Yeah true." said Rory, giving Lorelai directions to Logan's. They make some small talk until the reach their destination. "So going to give Luke a hand with packing tonight?"

"Yeah, I'll swing by. Nothing else maybe I can talk him out of whatever pie is leftover." said Lorelai with a small laugh. "Don't worry, I'll keep your car safe and sound. I'll probably just drop it by the house and then walk to the diner as we'll be loading Luke's truck up anyways. I might even stay over there."

"I trust you and sounds like you have a plan." said Rory, getting out of the car and grabbing her bag. "Don't forget what I look like by Sunday."

"Blonde, green eyes? Am I close?" joked Lorelai. "Have fun with Logan. See you later." As Lorelai drives off, Rory walks up to Logan's door and knocks, at least feeling more confident in the rest of the night as she had felt about the first half. As the door swung open, Rory responded with, "Hey, you're not Logan!"
