For Rory Gilmore life was uneventful and nothing ever seemed to happen. This all changed in her life when she slept with Dean. Life went on, but barely with constant whispers and stare that never seemed to stop-yet Rory and Dean were happy. Life couldn't have been better until the day Rory met Logan Huntzeberger. Sure he made her angry and question everything but he was her equal and kept her on her toes.

Logan even helped her find adventure and with an article she was trying to write on the Life and Death Brigade which he just so happened to be a part of. Needless to say, she jumped off a building with him and made her life just a pinch more exciting-a story to tell her kids one day.

Not long after, her grandparents realized she was dating Dean-who to their standards was hardly good enough for their granddaughter. They sought out the help of fellow Yale Alumni-or so they said-to find Rory possible suitor's and did just that with a party. As she attended and realized she was the only young woman, she was introduced to many prosperous young men-who basically made her want to die. One even cornered her, trying to hit on her with his high achievements and "charm", but lucky for her Logan had come to her rescue once again!

That wouldn't be the only time he saved her that night-with the help of his friends, they created a small party of their own with Champaign and goodies leaving the parents to make their own entertainment. Losing track of time, Rory forgot about her planned date with Dean. When she realized this, her new friends wanted to meet him so they all came to the front to welcome Dean and meet Rory's boyfriend. Unfortunately, Dean realized too late that he didn't belong in her world and dumped her in front of all of her new friends.

Logan rescued her again with more Champaign and a "Cheer up Rory" party that would hopefully get her mind off the loser. Needless to say she got drunk and had to take a limo home with her new friends. Now that brings us up to speed and up to the point where Rory is stumbling up her front lawn.

"Let me help you ace," Logan calls as he leaved the limo and shuts the door grabbing Rory's arm to steady her.

"Thanks-hiccup- I needed some help," she leaned onto him as he walked her up the drive and led her up the stairs.

"Not a problem ace, are you going to be okay?" he asked setting her on the steps. Unexpectedly she began to bawl and slumped to the stairs covering her face with her hands.

"My boyfriend just broke up with me didn't he?" she asked trying to remember the night. She sobbed and leaned onto Logan who wrapped his arms around her shoulder. She shivered as he touched her.

"Sorry Ace, but I'm afraid he did," Logan said with a sigh and tightened his grip on Rory's shoulders. She dropped her head onto his shoulder and let out a huge sigh.

"Thanks for being here tonight-you saved me from thinking about it," Rory gave him a tender kiss on the cheek.

"Anytime Ace, did you want me to help you inside?" he asked pulling her up from the stairs.

"Yes, I will definitely need help getting up," she laughed standing up with a new buzz.

"Take it easy their ace-baby steps," he cooed in her ear as he walked her to the front. Finding the door open, he pushed through and led her inside.

"My room is this way," Rory said pointing to her right and began to stumble.

"Okay," he grabbed onto her shoulders and slowly led her into the room. He sat her on the bed and within moments passed out. As he left the room, he bumped into Lorelei who didn't look pleased at all.

"And you are?" she asked watching him slip out of Rory's room.

"Logan. Logan Huntzeberger, I attend Yale and am on the newspaper with Rory," he said smoothly making his way to the door.

"So she looks like she had fun tonight," she commented remembering her stumbling daughter.

"Uh, not so much. That idiot boy friend of hers seemed to feel the need to dump her in front of us," Logan shook his head at the memory and returned his gaze to Lorelei.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding, I'll kill him!" she said as a look of anger crossed her face.

"Yes, well I best be going, nice to meet you Ms. Gilmore," Logan stepped out the door but Lorelei called to him first.

"Thanks for looking out for her, you're a good friend," and with that Logan gave Lorelei a smile and left the house.

Rory woke up to the smell of her favourite beverage, coffee, filling her room with its sweet aroma. She sat up slowly feeling a head rush as she grabbed for the drink by her bed-side.

"Morning child of mine," Lorelei greeted from a chair in Rory's bedroom. Sipping her own drink she continued, "so I met your friend Logan last night,"

"Yeah?" Rory nodded and drank down her coffee warming up her petite frame.

"He's a nice guy bring you home," she mentioned sipping her coffee once more.

"Yes, very!" Rory said softly as her eyes lit up at the thought of him.

"Heard about that asshole Dean too," Lorelei added causing Rory's happiness to drop.

"Ugh! Dean, you mean boy that dumped me in front of a room of boys?" she questioned jokingly.

"Ex boyfriend Dean! That would definitely be the one! Oh honey I'm so sorry about him," Lorelei answered.

"Don't say I told you so, I already get it," Rory said quickly resting her head on the head bored.

"I know, wasn't gonna!" she responded in her defense.

"Good, so how was your dinner with Luke?" Rory changed the subject and relaxed.

"Hectic! His sister and her husband came over and decided to start fighting-ruining our dinner. But I must say, Luke is a great cook!" Lorelei said happily.

"Good to know-but I kind of already did-best burgers," she commented after her mother's words of wisdom.

"Okay kiddo, I best be getting ready. Are you staying for the weekend or heading back to Yale?" Lorelei asked as she stood up.

"I'm going home this morning-I have a lot of studying that I didn't bring home. Thanks for the offer though!" she said and sipped her coffee.

"Well then, I guess I'll see you next week," she kissed her daughter on the forehead and left the room.

"Bye mom," she yelled, making her head ache.

Lorelei popped her head in the door, "Bye sweetie-make me proud and kick some butt this week!" she smiled happily and disappeared from the door. Rory sighed and slipped out of bed dressing slowly-trying to avoid extra movements.

"Rory, you're home? I thought you'd be staying in Star's Hollow," Paris asked as she saw Rory come through the apartment door.

"No, I had studying to do, you know how it goes. So what'd you do yesterday?" she asked cheerfully.

"Uh nothing," Paris said obviously hiding something. She closed her bedroom door slightly and closed the robe around her tighter.

"Okay then," Rory passed through the room and went to her bed.

"Paris, you sexy lady come back to bed," a voice called from her bedroom. Smiling, she went into her room and shed her robe.

Rory unpacked the bag she had and collapsed onto her bed, her thoughts drifting to Logan. He was really great helping her out last night and keeping her mind off Dean. He seemed to actually care about her, to give a damn. A sudden knock came rapping at her window. Rory turned quickly to see an envelope marked 'Ace' and knew it could have been from only one person.
