Logan watched Rory as she slept peacefully in the early morning. He took a moment to reflect over last night's events. He was incredibly pleased that Rory had successfully completed her meeting with his father. He only hoped that his would go as well as hers had. He left this train of thought to focus on the day ahead. He was planning on calling Emily Gilmore, along with Rory, to set up their meeting. If all went well that would be finished, leaving him to meet with his mother and father.
Rory's voice tore him away from these thoughts.
"Morning Logan," she mumbled sleepily.
"Good morning Ace. I guess it is no wonder you are tired, especially after last night's activities," Logan insinuated.
Rory thought back to last night; Logan's prowess in bed was indescribable. Of course, she wasn't going to tell him that, it would only inflate his ego more.
"Yes, well I seem to remember you were pretty exhausted as well." Rory retorted.
"True, very true. I, however, have a well-trained body that requires little sleep. It is very well suited to my life."
"I will refrain from making any comments."
"Why thank you," Logan responded, graciously.
"What time is it?" Rory asked.
Logan glanced at the clock and replied," It's almost ten."
"Oh wow," Rory exclaimed. "I guess we should drag ourselves out of bed and call my grandma. I just want to talk to her and get it over with."
"As you wish my lady," Logan said grandly.
The two slowly got out of bed, put on their clothes, brushed their teeth (Rory used Logan's toothbrush), and set out for the kitchen.
Surprisingly, the smell of freshly brewed coffee met their noses. They discovered Finn and Colin sitting with grins on their faces.
"Hello mate. Or should I say good morning," Finn greeted cheerily.
"So good of you to join us this fine day," Colin added.
"Hi guys," Rory responded.
Logan who was suspicious of his roommates' antics said, "What are you two up to? And why are you up so early Finn?"
Finn and Colin looked at each other.
"Should we do it?" Finn questioned.
"Yes, but first we should give them coffee. It's the least we can do," Colin answered.
The two boys handed steaming mugs of coffee to Rory and Logan.
Before she took a sip, Rory asked, "What exactly are you going to do?"
"Well, you see, we have taken the liberty to entertain you this morning. Just sit back and enjoy," Colin informed her.
Finn then proceeded to start. "Let's just spend some time together."
"I would love that," Colin replied in a high pitched, "girly," voice.
After a moments pause, Finn continued, "Oh sweetheart, you have no idea what you do to me."
"Be quiet and touch me," Colin responded.
Again there was a pause, and then Finn continued, "You're driving me crazy."
"Oh yes. Faster, harder, baby I can't take it anymore," Colin moaned.
At this point, Rory and Logan who were torn between shock and laughter, spoke up.
"Ok what exactly are you two doing?" Rory asked.
"More like who are you two?" Logan questioned.
"I thought that was obvious," Finn said.
"It's obvious that these two are complete dim-wits, no offense Rory. We'll just have to tell them straight out," Colin said.
In unison Finn and Colin said, "We were impersonating you two. It is amazing how thin the walls are in dorm. You two kept us up all night."
Rory and Logan turned red in embarrassment.
"I… uh… well… I'm sorry," Rory stuttered in apology.
"We don't really blame you love," Finn replied.
"Yeah, it's more Logan's fault." Colin agreed.
Logan, who by this time had found his voice, spoke up. "If you two value your lives, I suggest you leave and don't comeback for awhile. I don't appreciate you two pulling stunts like this. You two should hope that I forget about this by the time you come back."
"Okay then, we'll be going now mate. Lovely to see you again reporter girl," Finn said before he grabbed his wallet and coat, and left.
"Yeah, I'll be seeing you then," Colin said as he too proceeded to make a quick exit.
"I'm sorry about all of this Ace," Logan apologized.
"It's okay Logan. Besides, it was kind of worth it. I mean how often do you get to see Colin impersonating a girl?" Rory said.
"You are right, it was pretty funny. Well, now that that's finished, do you want to call your grandmother?"
"Sure, maybe we can get this over today."
Logan handed Rory his cell phone and she dialed her grandparent's number. After a few rings, her grandmother answered.
"Hello, Gilmore residence, Emily speaking."
"Hi grandma, it's me, Rory,"
"Why hello Rory. I do hope you received my message."
"Yes, that is why I am calling. I was hoping we could talk today, perhaps at lunch, or this evening. Logan was thinking of coming along."
"Today would be alright, what do you say to lunch at the country club in Hartford? I'll meet you there at noon."
"That's fine. I'll see you then. Bye grandma."
With that Rory hung up, and informed Logan of the plan.
"Well that doesn't leave much time. Why don't you go get dressed, and I'll come pick you up in forty minutes let's say?" he asked.
"I'd better hurry. I'll see you then," Rory said. She placed a quick kiss upon Logan lips, and rushed off to her room.
The moment she entered, Paris advanced on her. "Where have you been Gilmore? At Logan's, no doubt. I thought I told you to call."
"Hello to you too, Paris. Yes, I was at Logan's. What happened to the truce we had yesterday. Stop treating me like I am five."
This seemed to deflate Paris a little. "Oh alright, I'm sorry," she apologized not-so- convincingly. "I guess I should work on my anger management like Terrence has been telling me," she said mentioning her life coach.
"It's alright. I need to hurry now. Logan and I are meeting my grandma for lunch," Rory said and rushed off to get ready.
"Good luck," Paris shouted after her. "You'll need it."
Rory was ready in record time and rushed out the door to meet Logan. Together, they climbed into his BMW, and sped off towards Hartford.
The ride was spent mainly discussing strategy, and in they end the only thing they came up with was to maintain their resolve in taking things slow.
Rory and Logan entered the country club and went to the dining room. They found Emily sitting at a table in the corner.
"Hello Rory, Logan. I'm so glad you could make it," Emily greeted.
After pleasantries had been exchanged, and their food had been ordered, the talk turned to the "issue."
"I suppose you know why I wanted to talk with you two?" Emily questioned.
"You wanted to discuss our relationship," Rory replied, Logan nodded in agreement.
"That is correct. Rory and Logan, you are both at an age where commitment and the future must be thought of. This relationship should not be considered a college fling. Why, Richard and I were engaged by my junior year in college. I see no reason why the two of you shouldn't follow in our footsteps."
Emily paused, and at that moment their food was served. Afterwards Logan spoke up.
"Mrs. Gilmore, may I say that this whole issue is absurd. Rory and I are two independent people, who should do as we please. I think it should be enough that we are in a committed relationship. While I am glad that you approve of me, is it really necessary to plan our future? It really isn't necessary that Rory follows your footsteps exactly."
Emily sat dumbfounded. She gathered her wits and spoke directly to Rory.
"Rory, dear, you must know that I have your best interests at heart. I don't want you to turn out like your mother, over thirty and unmarried. Think about the future, what happens when Logan gets tired of you? You need a proposal from him."
Rory was furious. How dare her grandmother insult her mother. She calmed herself down, and then spoke.
"Grandma, that was out of line. You have no right to insult mom. So what if she is unmarried? She has found Luke, and they are happy together. Would you rather she was in a loveless marriage? I surely hope not. As for Logan and me, I think you should be satisfied with the knowledge that we are two mature adults who happen to like each very much. Whether we will remain together twenty years from now remains to be seen. What we need is time to really get to know each other. That won't happen if our families keep interfering."
Emily was stunned, yet she was beginning to see the reason behind her granddaughter's words. She was going to have to accept the fact that Rory was right. Above all Emily did not want to lose her granddaughter. She already had a strained relationship with her daughter, and having a strained relationship with her granddaughter would be too much. She formulated her thoughts before she responded.
"Very well Rory. I guess I will have to accept the fact that I won't be hearing a proposal anytime soon. I understand that you are independent, and I will try my hardest to become more open to you and your relationship. Just remember, I am an old woman who is set in her ways, and change is hard for me."
Rory and Logan, were both very touched by Emily's words.
"Thank you grandma. I know this is hard for you to accept, but it is for the best," Rory said.
"I am really glad that you are giving our relationship a chance to grow uninhabited. Thank you Mrs. Gilmore," said Logan.
"You are both very welcome. Now I suppose that you two would like to head back to Yale. Thank you for coming."
Rory and Logan both bid Emily goodbye, and headed back to Yale. They were partway through the drive, when Logan's phone rang. He answered.
"Hello Logan," Mitchum Huntzberger greeted.
"Hello Father," Logan said.
