A month after the whole Mitchum fiasco:

Logan walks to open the door to his dorm after hearing a knock. He opens the door to see Rory.

"Hey." Logan quickly kisses Rory and starts to walk back to his room. "I'm almost ready, I just need my shoes."

Rory walks into the dorm and closes the door behind her. "Jeez, Logan. You're worse than a girl."

"Hey. Looking this good takes time." Logan says from his room.

"Why am I with you? You are too smug for your own good."

"You love it."

Rory walks to the couch and sits down. Colin comes out of his room.

"Hey Rory."

"Hey Colin."

"Where's Logan?"

"He's taking FOREVER to get ready."

"I'm done, I'm done." Logan says, still in his room.

"Where you taking your whipped pet today?"

Logan comes out of his room. "I'm not whipped."

Rory laughs.

Logan looks at Rory. "What are you laughing at?"

Rory smirks. "Nothing."

"Logan, you're whipped like the family pig."

Rory gets off the couch and walks to Logan. "We're going to have lunch with my mom at her inn and Logan is not whipped."

"Thank you." Logan says right before he softly kisses Rory.

"Yeah, says the girl who is just as whipped."

"Shut up Colin." Rory says.

"Well, I'm gonna go before make out fest starts, so enjoy." Colin walks out.

Rory turns to Logan. "Are we whipped?"

"No. He's just mad because he struck out last night. Ok, now stay here. I got you something." Logan walks back into his room.

"Logan, remember what we talked about."

Logan walks back out with something behind his back. "I remember. Here." Logan pulls a little box out from behind him.

"Logan."

"Just open it."

Rory looks up at Logan and back to the little box. She slowly opens the box to reveal something brass and shiny: a key.

"It's a key. Wow." Rory says trying to be enthusiastic.

"It's a key to my dorm. That way you can sneak or come over anytime you want without having to knock or wake up a grumpy Colin."

Rory smiles. "You trust me with this?"

"Of course I do."

"So it's basically like moving in with you."

"Kinda, yeah. You stay here practically everyday anyway. This way you don't have to knock anymore, you can just come on in."

"Are you giving me this key because you want me to come whenever I want or just because you're too lazy to open the door when I knock?"

"A little bit of both."

"I knew you were getting something out of this."

"Yup, you."

"awww."

"Ok, now I have something else for you; something a lot more serious."

"More serious than this?"

"Yeah."

"Ok." Rory says nervously.

"Ok." Logan says nervously as well.

Logan reaches in his back pocket and takes out a velvety ring box.

Rory quickly sees this, "Logan-"

"Open it." Logan says softly as he hands her the box.

Rory takes the box and hesitantly opens it. She opens the box to see a white gold, 3 stone classic ring. She gasps as soon as she lays her eyes upon it. She immediately snaps her head up to look at Logan; searching for answers.

"It's a promise ring." Logan says timidly.

Rory continues to Logan up at Logan, shocked.

"It's not like I'm gonna propose really soon or anything. It's just that I've been thinking about it lately, a lot. With everything that we've been through last month; with you putting up with my horrible family, and other things of the sort, I know that-" Logan gulps nervously. "I know that I want a future with you. Whatever you do or wherever you are I want to be there right beside you, every step of the way. I just want you. I want to come home to you; I want to wake up every morning next to you. I want everything with you. I know that we're young, but I'm committed. To you, to everything we stand for, I am so committed. I just want to know if you see or want the same things I do. I want this to be a promise that one day……..we'll have it." Logan says hopefully. The last sentence seemed more like a question than a statement.

Rory doesn't know when she started crying during Logan's little speech, but she is. Logan cups her face with his hands and softly whispers a "hey". Rory looks up to see Logan's eyes glistening with hope. She smiles and lightly chuckles between her tears.

"So do you accept?" Logan asks.

"I do…..accept."

Logan smiles back, takes the ring out of the box and slides the ring on to her left ring finger. "Perfect fit."

"You know me too well." Rory says light-heartedly.

"You remember that."

"Always." Rory says softly. Rory looks at Logan adoringly, "I love you."

"I love you too." Logan responds with the same look in his eyes.

Rory leans in to kiss Logan. They both smile into the kiss. This is what it's all comes down to. This is what everything is about. Rory pulls away before things heat up too much. "We need to go. We're already late."

"Lunch with the parents, right."

"Right. And I already know that once my mom sees this ring, she's gonna have questions. And speaking of the ring, how much did you spend on this?"

Logan is silent. He whistles softly. He knows Rory will scold him about the cost of the ring. And she does.

"Logan, we already had this conversation. I don't want you showering me with expensive gifts."

"I know, but you have to let me spoil you once in a while. It's my duty as a boyfriend. Sometimes I just want to give you the things you deserve.

"I don't need money."

"I know. Beside, I had to spend a lot on the ring; I wouldn't want your finger to turn green. You have to let me spoil you sometimes."

Rory smiles at Logan. "Just don't make it a habit. Now, let's go."

"Let's go."

Rory and Logan walk out of the dorm together.

Rory and Logan walk into the inn hand in hand. They start walking towards the eating area when they are stopped by Lorelei.

"Where the hell have you guys been? Me and Luke have been waiting forever for you guys."

"We sort of got distracted." Rory explains.

"Don't ask questions. Don't ask questions. Don't ask questions!" Lorelei scolds herself.

"Not that kind of distraction. Something came up."

"Fine. Now come here, my long lost child." Lorelei hugs Rory. "Hey Logan." Lorelei hugs Logan.

"Hey Lorelei. It was my fault."

"It always is."

Other a period of time Logan, Lorelei, and even Luke had became close. Lorelei and Logan bonded on the fact that they grew up the same way. And who would of thought that Luke and Logan would bond over the fact that they both love baseball. Luke figured out that Logan was the prince Rory needed. But he would never admit that to anyone.

They all walk to the table where Luke is sitting.

"Finally." Luke stands up. "Hey Rory." Luke hugs Rory.

"Hey Luke. Sorry we're late."

"No, it's ok. Logan."

"Luke." Logan and Luke do the manly hand shake.

Lorelei catches something very shiny and expensive on Rory's finger. "Hey, you boys talk, me and Rory are gonna be over there." Lorelei grabs Rory and pulls her away.

"Ow. Mom, what are you doing?" Rory says as they reach a corner.

"What is that on your finger?"

"What is what on my finger?"

Lorelei grabs Rory's hand and points to the ring. "This. Are you engaged and didn't tell me?"

"What? No."

"Then why is there a very shiny and a very expensive ring on a very important finger and I don't mean the middle one."

"It's a promise ring. Logan gave it to me."

Lorelei smiles at her daughter. "That was the distraction."

"That was the distraction." Rory repeats.

"Awww. Look at my baby all glowy and promisey."

"Mom, glowy and promisey are not words."

"They are in the 'how cute' dictionary. My baby's all grown up."

"You barely noticed that mom?"

"Not in the age or physical way. You're in love."

"Yeah, I am."

"This is not fair. You get a rock before I do. Mommy's supposed to get the rock first."

"It's not like it's an engagement ring and beside, I bet you'll get one very soon."

"You think?"

"I know." They both turn to their guys. "How did we get so lucky?"

"It took a lot of test drives. I think we're good to say that we got the best of the bunch."

"Yes we did."

Ok, let me see this rock or shall I say rocks again." Lorelei grabs Rory's hand again and sighs. "This is gorgeous. How much did it set him back? Not that he really matters how much it cost."

"I don't know. He won't tell me." Rory looks at the ring. "It is pretty isn't it?"

"Its pretty frickin' awesome. Come on lets get back to the boys."

They both walk back to the table. Logan gives Rory a look of concern but she reassures things are fine simply with a sweet smile. During the whole lunch, Lorelei noticed the glances stolen between Rory and Logan. She even caught them once mouthing 'I love you'. That made her swoon al little. When lunch was finished, she watched Logan and Rory walk out of the inn hand in hand. Yup, definitely he Prince she needed and deserved.

A.N. I don't know if I should end it here or not. Please tell me if I should continue or not. If you guys want I could write a sequel. I wouldn't want this story to have 40 to 50 chapters. So tell me what you guys want. Please continue to review. You guys rock!

A.N2. I'm a hopeless romantic so I researched and picked a ring. If you want to see it go here. www. szul/images/products/EGR3251.jpg (take out the spaces) It says engagement ring, but it's not in this story.
