Notes About the Story(NAS):
The Rory and Dean thing did happen. Only it happened 2 months after her graduation from Yale.
Rory broke up with Dean saying that she didn't really love him only 2 weeks after the thing happened.
Logan and Rory were in the same year, even though Logan is older.

Previously: What happened next took her completely by surprise. He started to laugh. She had just told him that she was pregnant with their baby and he was laughing. Now, she was very confused. Before she could ask about it though, he answered he question.

"Remind me never to drink anything from Finn again."

Chapter Three: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

At those words, the memory they'd agreed to forget shot through her.

"Hello." A male voice answered the phone.

"Colin, get Logan." Rory said. She was a little peeved that Colin had answered Logan's phone yet again.

"Oh hello Rory. How are you, you ask? I'm great, thanks for caring. So what's new with you, you ask? Well, Steph and I are..."

"Colin, please, I need to talk to Logan."

"But this is really great. Steph and I are..."

"Colin! Please, let me talk to Logan."

"Fine...I'll just have Logan tell you, you know."

Rory rolled her eyes, not that he would know. She heard some muffled talking in the background, and then Logan's voice.

"Hey, Ace. What's up?"

Rory sighed. It wass amazing how a best friend could soothe you in even the worst times.

"Can I talk to you?" Rory asked.

"We are talking, Ace." Logan replyed in his usual smart aleck way.

"Okay, Mr. Literal, will you meet me somewhere?" Rory questioned.

He smiled, "Only if it's a bar."

"Actually, that doesn't sound too bad right now. That may be exactly what I need."

"Okay, see ya soon, Ace. Bye."

"Bye."

Rory hung up the phone. She slipped on her shoes, grabbed her purse, and ran out the door. When she got to the bar, Logan was already there, hitting on another Jessica Simpson wannabe. Rory rolled her eyes and walked up to them.

"Hey, baby, I'm sorry I'm late. My car wouldn't start and I had to walk." Said Rory as she stepped behind the sitting Logan and wrapped her arms around him. She leaned to the side and kissed him on his cheek.

The Jessica Simpson wannabe, who turned out to be a waitress named Kelly, was stunned. She blinked her eyes a few times in an attempt, at what Rory thought, to pretend the evening had not just taken this unlikely turn.

"You have a girlfriend? Well...I guess I should have known...Ummm...Okay...I'm gonna go...bye." Kelly mumbled as she walked away.

Once Kelly was out of sight, Rory removed her arms from Logan and sat down next to him on a seat at the bar. Logan looked over at her and glared.

"What'd you do that for? I could have gotten some tonight. Now, I'm gonna be stuck at home with Colin, throwing popcorn at Finn while he sleeps." Logan complained.

"One: Why are they at your house? Two: Why do you throw popcorn at Finn while he sleeps?" Rory asked, ignoring his question.

"One: Same as always, Finn burned down his house and Colin's stupid enough to let Finn stay at his house with knowledge of where the matches and alcohol are. Then he got kicked out by Steph. By the way, they're getting married. Colin wanted me to tell you that. Two: Finn makes weird noises in his sleep and tends to get even weirder when he thinks things are attacking him. Three: You're avoiding the subject, so what'd you do that for?" Logan stated.

Rory mocked being hurt by this.

"I'm not avoiding the subject. I just had more important things to say. The answer to your question is that I said I wanted to talk. I can't talk with Kelly around."

Logan rolled his eyes.

"Okay, then what'd you wanna talk about?"

Rory told him about everything that had happened with Dean. She told him about how she had broken up the marriage, then broken up with him. She asked him if she should keep feeling guilty and if he thought she was a bad person. She asked him many more questiions before finally giving him time to answer. He was silent for a moment and it really scared her. She couldn't remember a time before that that she had ever felt this nervous. Before he spoke again, he reached into his pocket and withdrew a flask.

"Finn gave this to me. I think now could be the time to use it." Logan told her.

He took her hand and led her out og the bar. They went to a liquor store, then back to her apartment. They sat down on the couch, turned on the TV, grabbed the drinks, and made a party of the night.

Finn's very stong alcohol, three and a half bottles of wine, some beer, and a marathon of Mr. Ed later, Rory sat with her head on Logan's shoulder staring at a blank television screen. Their feet were propped up on the coffee table and they were very close and comfortable.

"I would say that was a very nice marathon." Rory said, slurrin her words so that it was a wonder Logan could tell what she was saying.

Logan laughed.

"It had a talking horse, Ace."

Rory smiled.

"Yup. Aren't you glad you finally got to enjoy the wonder that is Mr. Ed?"

"Very."

They lapsed into a comfortable silence. After a while Rory looked up at Logan only to see him dozing off. He looked so peaceful and serene that she couldn't tear her eyes away. He opened his eyes a minute later and looked dow at her. Then Rory kissed him.

The next thing Rory could remember was waking up the next morning in Logan's arms with a major hangover. They'd both agreed to pretend that it never happened. Now, things had changed.
