When Rory and Logan got back to her house, Logan changed his clothes, Rory set up the food, and they waited for Lorelai and Luke to get there. They decided that it was so early that they would watch all of Willy Wonka, so they settled back on the couch and just sat and marveled over what had happened in the past hour. Neither of them could really believe that Dean would do that. Rory kept thinking that she wouldn't be surprised if Logan broke up with her. They hadn't even been together 24 hours before he started getting hurt for it. Logan was wondering about how he got into this situation and even doubting his decision to be with Rory, but then he thought about how much he cared about her and the looks on her face when he did or said something crazy, then the remembered why he had fallen for her. Then, Rory turned to face him and said,

"If you want to break up with me, I completely understand."

Logan was completely shocked when he said this, and the look in her eyes when she said that was so pained that he couldn't stand the thought of making it even worse by breaking up with her.

"Why would I do that? After all I've been through to get you, a busted lip and a black eye couldn't take you away."

"Really? I wouldn't be surprised if you never wanted to see me again"

"And miss seeing this face every day?" He responded by caressing her cheek. "I can't think of a single thing that could keep me away from you."

"So you aren't mad at me?"

"No, I'm not mad at you, I could kill Dean, but I'm not mad at you."

"Ok." Was all Rory could say, trying to hold back tears of happiness and sadness at the same time.

Hey, what's wrong?"

"Its just that you have been so great about this, even though we just got together officially, and you've been through so much tonight that I wasn't sure that you would stay with me, and I'm so relieved and happy that you are."

"Ace, that's nothing to cry about."

"I'm not crying."

"But you're close."

"So?"

"I didn't think you were the type of girl to get so upset over something like this."

"Well, I am."

They fell silent for a moment.

"So you were crying because I didn't break up with you?"

"No, I was crying at the thought of you breaking up with me."

"Ok. That's good to know."

Lorelai and Luke came through the door a minute later, Lorelai hollering

"Rory, are you here, because last time I came home and you were supposed to be here, you were getting your boyfriend beaten up by your crazy, jealous, drunk ex-boyfriend."

"Yeah, we're in here. We decided to watch the whole movie, ok?'

"Of course it's ok. More oompa loompa time."

"Huh?" Logan asked.

"She has a thing for the oompa loompas." Rory said.

"And you're ok with being with a girl who has a thing for the oompa loompas?" Logan asked Luke.

"Well, at first, I thought that it meant that she likes little she thought that I looked like a tiny orange person with green hair, and then I remembered that she's Lorelai, and decided that she didn't really care about them." Luke explained with a laugh.

"Ok. Lorelai, why oompa loompas?

"I do not have a thing for the oompa loompas; I just think they're funny." Lorelai protested."

"Right." Said Rory, sarcastically.

"Hey, don't mock the mommy. Mock the movies that the mommy brings home."

"Like the oompa loompa movie?"

"Yes, but only because I want to get the movie started."

"So you can see the oompa loompas." Rory and Luke said simultaneously, causing Logan to burst out laughing, which got Rory started, which caused Lorelai and Luke to laugh with them.

"Ok, let's get the movie started." Lorelai said, catching her breath.

They started the movie, with Lorelai and Rory and jabbering through the whole thing. Halfway through it, Logan said,

"My god, do you two ever shut up?"

"No." answered Luke.

When the movie ended, Luke said good-bye, and Lorelai walked him outside. Rory sent Logan to the bathroom to take a shower, then started to clean up the trash that had accumulated on the coffee table.

When Lorelai came in, she helped Rory with the cleanup, and asked

"So, are you ok?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"Because your ex-boyfriend tried to beat up your boyfriend tonight."

"But I talked to Logan about it, and he said he isn't mad at me."

"That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?"

"I want to know how you feel about all of this."

"I feel like Dean is an asshole and I can't believe that I actually dated him."

"Really? Because I think that you feel guilty about all of this."

"Well, I shouldn't have brought Logan here and introduced him to Dean as my boyfriend. I know Dean wouldn't have caused so much trouble if he thought we were just friends."

"Rory, you cannot blame yourself. Dean is crazy. But can you really blame him? He was completely crazy about you for so long, and to see you happy with another guy must be really hard for him."

"But he wasn't like this when I was with Jess."

"Yes he was. But he knew that you weren't really happy, so it wasn't so bad."

"Wow."

"Yeah."

"Ok. I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Can you finish cleaning up?"

"Sure, babe. Get some sleep. Love ya."

"Love you too, good night."

"'night."

Rory went to her room and got changed into some sweats, then waited for Logan to get out of the shower.

"Hey, Ace. So where am I supposed to sleep tonight?"

"Uh, the couch, or you could stay with me tonight, but you've seen my bed, your choice."

"Hmmmmm, that's obvious."

"It is?"

"Of course I want to stay with you."

"Ok, but my bed is tiny, and we can't do anything."

"That's ok, I'm too tired to try tonight."

"Ok"

They climbed into bed together, and Rory started giggling.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing, just Kirk."

"Have you been sleeping with Kirk?"

"No, but my mom said that he has been popping up in peoples beds lately."

"Ok." He said as he put his arms around her and they got settled down to go to sleep.
