Chapter 1

"I'm coming, I'm coming," Rory called in response to the rapid thud against her dorm room door, "it's not like I'm an Olympic runner anything, sorry I'm not quick enough for you." She was feeling kind of grumpy. The stress of her upcoming finals was finally catching up to her. She pulled open the door with obvious frustration, and in front of her stood a beautiful bouquet of flowers held by some unknown creature in a bear costume. Rory couldn't help but burst into a fit of giggles. Her uncontrollable laughter eventually subsided, and the big purple bear silently held out the bouquet to her. She accepted the package, mumbled a "thank you," and closed the door in the bear's face. Even with her initial reaction, she was still in a cross mood. She searched awhile for a card, and after a short hunt, she finally located it. Inside it read:

"Dear Ace,
I know that you've been stressing out lately, so I just wanted to give you something that would remind you of my fondness for you, no matter how crabby you get. I think it's because of your extreme cuteness.
- Logan
P.S. You might want to open that door again. You could have another surprise. "

"Oh Logan," she half-laughed, feeling an immense amount of joy. Oddly curious, she opened the door once again, and there stood the giant purple bear. But instead of an obnoxiously happy bear head, Rory saw Logan's face smiling wittingly back at her. "Logan? What the heck are you doing, you crazy…" she broke off in another fit of laughter, but this time she couldn't stop.

"Is this really that funny? I thought it would be cute or something," Logan said, a note of facetiousness in his voice.

"You look so very ridiculous right now," Rory replied through her chuckling. Logan stepped into her dorm and closed the door. He reached forward to kiss her, but his bear stomach got in the way, which caused Rory to laugh even harder. She sat down on the couch, clutching her stomach, and continued to laugh. Logan, looking slightly embarrassed, headed into the bathroom to take off the ridiculous costume.

Moments later he emerged with a slightly bruised ego, but was smiling nevertheless. Rory looked up at him with a big smile on her face.

"Much better," she replied, "you had me scared for a minute. Did you have to pick a purple one? It kind of makes me wonder."

"That's all they had left!" Logan defended as he plopped down on the couch next to Rory and grabbed her slender hand.

"I guess it was a cute thing to do."

"I just wanted to make you smile. And I know my foolishness always makes you laugh. So I figured I would do something extremely foolish and see where it got me." Logan slipped one arm behind her back and the other around her waist. He leaned in just close enough to kiss her, but didn't. "So where is it going to get me?" he whispered, hoping that something would come of his ultimate humiliation.

"I'd really like it to get you somewhere, trust me I would, but it just can't today. With finals coming up, I need all the time I can get to prepare and organize and do everything else that I have to," she replied, fighting to keep herself from jumping on Logan and kissing him for hours. Logan sighed heavily, and she could see his disappointment. "I promise, the day that finals end, you will be mighty glad you waited." She kissed him to ensure her promise with every intention to separate after mere seconds. But her body just wouldn't let her. The couple sat on the couch and continued to kiss, with the passion increasing after every second. Rory was sure that this activity would have continued if not for the inevitable Paris barging into the room in a manic rage.

Startled by her sudden entrance, Rory and Logan jumped apart from each other in great surprise. They should have been used to Paris' rants by now, but she always caught them off guard.

"Nice to see you too, Paris," Logan remarked over her incessant yelling. She glared over at him and stalked into the bathroom.

"Why is there a giant purple bear costume in my bathroom? This isn't something kinky, is it?" Paris exclaimed, sounding very angry.

"I'll let you take care of this one, Ace," Logan said with a twinkle in his eyes. He kissed her on the lips, grabbed his jacket, and headed out the door. Rory smiled as he walked out the door, whistling some unknown tune.

"Logan, wait!" Rory yelled as she ran out the dorm after her boyfriend.

"What's up? Are you that afraid of Paris?" he asked. Rory gave him a look, leaned in and kissed him with a great passion.

"Whoa," Logan replied as the two finally pulled away from each other.

"Thank you," Rory said sincerely, "you just made my day ten times better."

"Well, I aim to please," Logan responded sarcastically. Rory turned on her heel and started to walk back into her dorm. "And you just made mine twenty time better, Ace!" Logan called back at her. Rory looked back at him with a huge smile and continued on into her dorm to deal with the very hostile Paris.
