Don't
let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me
down
Lorelai was waiting expectantly for her daughter to appear as she sat on one of the comfy stools at Luke's diner. She was a bit distraught after hearing Rory's tone and was worried that something bad might have happened. Still after getting Rory's second call about coming to dinner with Logan, Lorelai couldn't help but be anxious.
She sat there tapping her boots impatiently against the railing below her stool, tap, tap, tap. Luke was on edge as it was but, the tapping was driving him insane.
"Lorelai, stop the tapping!" he growled coming around to witness her rebellious nature tapping her boots against the railing once more.
"What ever do you mean Lukykins?" she feigned innocence.
He merely snarled in response, as he didn't have time to reply with Rory and Logan flying through the door excitedly.
"Mooooooooom!" Rory called, greeting her mother in a quick embrace and her game face on. "We have a situation that must be fixed immediately!"
"Yes Lorelai, it is of utter importance or else, I fear, our," here he pointed between himself and Rory, "relationship could turn to shambles!" he gave her a dire look of desperation and her heart ached slightly.
Nobody
ever loved me like she does
Oh, she does, yeah, she does
And if
somebody loved me like she do me
Oh, she do me, yes, she does
She looked between the two kids in front of her trying to figure out what could be so wrong after they'd finally gotten together. "Somebody better tell me what's going on before I snap!" she yelled, standing up to show her seriousness.
"Okay, you may just want to sit down for this one mom," Rory suggested with a laugh, "It's quite the doozy of a problem,"
"Yeah Lorelai, quite a doozy," Logan added, sitting down next to Rory at the counter.
"It must be if you can't even think of your own sentences! Okay, so what's going on?" Lorelai asked, waiting with baited breath to hear what the newest fiasco in the Rory Logan relationship was.
"Well you see mom," Rory began, but was instantly interrupted by Logan who couldn't keep his mouth shut.
Don't
let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me
down
"My best friend is in love with me and is trying to push Rory away at all costs!" he blurted out. He surprised himself by continuing, "and this friend is of course a girl, because hello, why would I date a guy?" he laughed nervously and again continued, "Anyways, she's come to Yale and is hitting on my best friends to try and get me jealous, which is obviously ineffective and well here we are to formulate a plan of attack!" he finished with a deep breath and suddenly hunched over shyly as Rory, Lorelai and Luke stared at him in disbelief.
I'm
in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last
It's
a love that lasts forever
It's a love that had no past (Seeking
past)
"Okay, someone's been spending too much time with the Gilmores'! You're rambling could put Rory and Lorelai to shame," Luke commented. He received two well lit death glares from the girls, which quickly turned to smiles as he presented a peace offering of coffee and blueberry pie.
"Well, rambling aside lover boy, we still have to solve this problem, which is pretty serious. You have to let down your best friend, well next to my darling, pretty, blue-eyed daughter," she stopped to flutter her eyelashes at her daughter, "and do it with such a dignity that she would still want to be your friend," Lorelai smiled as she summed up what he'd rambled.
"Yes, yes, that's what we're saying. Now fix it mommy, I don't wanna share my boyfriend," Rory whined adding a pout towards Logan.
Don't
let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me
down
"Someone's possessive today," Lorelai rolled her eyes and turned to Logan. "Here's the deal kid, we gotta get Jill a new guy to fawn over, for real. Which one was she trying to seduce, the alcoholic or the snob?"
Logan smiled at her then replied, "Finn, the alcoholic," he smiled again as he shot Rory a glance.
"I would have loved to see that. Did she do the whole, seductive walk in front of you, then turn to fin and straddle him thing?" Lorelai asked seriously but with a lifting of the corners of her mouth.
"How'd you know?" Rory cut in, feeling left out of the conversation.
"Ha, my friend Sheila did that to her best friend. It worked though because he was in love with her too. You aren't in love with Jill right?" Lorelai's look was pointed and Logan could see the venom she could unleash with just a slight slip of the tongue.
He stuttered uneasily as he answered her, "Of course not, I lo-love Rory," he said finishing more surely. And as if to make sure they both knew it, he repeated, "I love Rory!"
And
from the first time that she really done me
Oh, she done me, she
done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Oh, she done
me, she done me good
"Well now we've settled the I love you thing, again. Hey that's like the third time this week," Rory paused to reflect momentarily, but shook her thoughts away as she continued, "I know the perfect guy for Jill, and who will make our situation a hell of a lot easier!" Rory said with a broad smile.
"Who?" Lorelai, Luke and Logan asked all at once. (Might I add that they are all L's- weird!)
Rory paused dramatically to draw out the suspense then enunciated the words clearly, "Marty, Marty from across the hall!" she was proud of herself for being such a genius, but not so proud when she saw the frowns on each of their faces, including Luke's.
"Hey isn't Marty that guy that is in love with you?" Luke asked, his curiosity peaking past his gruff exterior.
"He is not in love with me…anymore…" Rory gushed with a smile.
"Hey, boyfriend over here," Logan all but screamed with jealousy.
"How is naked guy doing?" Lorelai asked with a perky smile.
"Naked!" Luke and Logan screamed out at the same time.
"That's just how I met him freshman year…naked…" Rory's cheeks blushed a bright crimson, her face hot with nerves. She quickly piled a scoop of blueberry pie into her mouth and looked around avoiding everyone's gaze.
"Anyway, we need a plan to get Marty interested in Jill and vice versa," Logan added changing the subject. He stared at Rory with a slight smirk realizing just how amusing this love of his really was.
With cheeks still pink, Rory turned to them all with an answer, "We have a party!"
They all once again stared at her in disbelief. Was this the same book sniffing, study until dawn, blue eyed girl they all knew and loved?
"Party…" Lorelai repeated, slowly realizing the benefit of such a magnificent idea, "That could definitely work, beautiful, smart daughter of mine. I knew I sent you to Yale for a good reason," her smile broadened and she downed the rest of her coffee.
"Okay Ace, I'll set it up, it's not a problem when you have my connections. We'll have it this weekend, tomorrow in fact. She'll still be here; I'll call her and the boys and get them to tell everyone. You call Steph, invite along Lane, hey Lorelai, you want in on this?" Logan said finally stopping his rambling.
"Uh, you guys go ahead, I just want a full play by play my dear boy!" She stood up, pulled Luke across the counter, kissed him then grabbed her purse. "I've got to go kiddies, lemme know how it goes!" She smiled one last time, then left the diner in a strut.
"So shall we put the plan into action darling?" Logan asked, standing up to leave the diner.
Don't
let me down, hey don't let me down
Heeeee, don't let me down
"But of course my dear boy, we must start immediately, and I just might have another trick up my sleeve to convince Marty to come to the party…" her eyes twinkled mischievously as she prepared a deceitful plan into wooing Marty for the beautiful, blonde bombshell, Jill. After all, her relationship did depend on it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXxXXXXXXXXXXXXxXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxXXXXXXX
Rory sat in the passenger seat of Logan's black SUV, nervously waiting for Marty to pick up his phone. She wasn't so much nervous as excited because she was helping out a friend. Oh how great a couple Marty and Jill would be! She sighed happily, then bit down on her lip as she heard his voice on the answering machine.
"Uh hey Marty, it's Rory…" she began, pausing to look over at Logan. After he gave her a reassuring smile, she continued confidently. "I just wanted to invite you to a party that I'm going to. I won't really know anyone, and I just thought it would be fun for us to hit it, so yeah… Umm, the party is tomorrow at nine, so call me when you get in and we can meet up or whatever. Bye," she finished and smiled at Logan.
"Nice, you pulled the 'don't let me be by myself' routine. Just so you know, that'll work on me anytime Ace," he winked and grabbed for her hand.
"Well, you know, I was just thinking that I don't want to be alone tonight in my bed, its so scary in the dark," she pouted sadly and he instantly smiled.
"I think we can arrange something," he winked again and they both laughed as their drive back to Yale sped up to almost double their previous speed.
Don't
let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me let down
Can you
dig it? Don't let me down
