A/N: Sorry for the major delay, but I have a good excuse, I'm in London, Baby!

Chapter 10: The party

The hall was in one word; magnificent. There were different shades of brown wood everywhere. And it just had that lovely old-fashioned feel to it. In front of them was a beautiful decorated staircase that leaded directly to the second and third floor.

Rory loved it and felt quite at home. Finn walked up beside her and put an arm around her shoulder. "Like it, luv?"

"Are you kidding me? I LOVE it."

"We knew you would, that's why we picked this location. We want your first official LDB party to be perfect."

"It is, Finn. You guys are the best. Can we go see the rest now? Is there a library? I know I'm not supposed to read tonight, but I just want to see it. And can we…"

"Whoa, whoa, slow down, luv. Let me and Logan introduce you to everyone here first and than I'll give you a tour. Okay?"

"Promise?"

"Cross my heart and hope to die. I'll even give you a half an hour in the library."

"Okay, introduce away." she said happily as she took both Logan's as Finn's arm.

After Rory was introduced to every LDB member at the party she grabbed Finn by the arm.

"Now, my aussie friend, how about that tour you promised me. I distinctly remember the promise of a half an hour in the present library."

Finn looked down into the brunettes baby blue eyes. "You're a peculiar little creature, aren't you?"

When she didn't answer him he continued; "Oh well, figure it's part of your charm. Logan would never fall for an ordinary girl."

"Trust me, Finn; there is nothing ordinary about my Ace." Logan chipped in.

"Your Ace, huh? Well, do you mind if I steal your Ace away for a while? I promised her a grand tour."

"Sure, man, you know I trust you."

"Hello!" Rory stretched the word while waving her hands in front of the faces of the two men in front of her. "I'm standing right here and I perfectly capable of making my own decisions. Now aussie boy, show me the books!" she said as she grabbed Finn by the hand and dragged him to the hall. Before she left the room she turned to Logan. "We'll be back in one hour sweetie. Go enjoy yourself. But not to much."

Robert walked up to Logan and put a drink in his hand. "She seems like quite a hand full. Doesn't it bother you that they're wondering trough the house all by their selves?"

"No, it actually doesn't, Robert. I trust them both and I'm glad that she and my best friends get along great. Now, if you would excuse me, I'll go find my other best friend." And with that he walked off. Robert wasn't his favorite person in the world, to say the least. He didn't really trust him. But he wasn't going to let Robert ruin his evening. This was a party for him and his girlfriend and he was going to enjoy himself. Just not to much. He grinned when he thought of the way Rory had said it. He knew she trusted him, but she just liked teasing him with his former reputation. Logan didn't mind, he would have done the same thing.

"And that concludes the promised thirty minutes in this lovely library. Now let's go find Logan before he starts to go into withdrawal." Finn said while steering Rory out of the library.

"In other words; you're in urgent need of a drink?"

"Exactly, luv."

"Okay, let's go then, I could use a drink myself."

When they were back at the party they couldn't find Logan right away so they headed to one of the bars. Finn walked behind the bar and looked at Rory.

"So, what's your poison, luv?"

"Surprise me, but make it sweet."

"Will do."

Two minutes later Finn placed a very colorful drink in front of Rory.

"What is it?" Rory asked.

"It's my famous 'yowibedint' cocktail. The ingredients are a secret that I will take with me to the grave."

"What does 'yowibedint' mean? Or is that a secret too?"

"Well, aren't you a curious little creature."

"So it's a secret?"

"No, luv. But how bad do you want to know it?"

"Honestly? Pretty bad, because if you don't tell me it will be bugging me for a very long time." Rory looked at Finn and saw a treacherous spark in his eye.

"This is gonna cost me, isn't it?"

"Rory, luv, what makes you think that? Has that boyfriend of yours told you stories about me? It's all a lie, really. I'm not a bad person, I just like to dance."

"Dance?"

"Did I stutter?"

"No."

Finn looked at Rory expectantly, he wanted to find out if she could be crazy. He was sure there was a party animal underneath all that good-girl exterior, she just needed a push. And if Finn was right, he had just given her a push. She didn't let him down.

"Okay, Finley, let's dance, I mean, one dance has never hurt anyone, right?"

"Ah, I love a woman who isn't afraid of taking chances. Let me talk to the DJ real quick and I'll be right back."

Rory just finished her drink when Finn returned. He grabbed her hand and lead her to the center of the dancefloor. Just when she was about to ask him what the catch was, 'you're the one that I want' from the grease soundtrack started to play.

"Now, luv, let's see how well you know your movies." Finn said as he began to reenact 'Danny'.

Rory knew she had no choice but to do 'Sandy', which was really hard considering she was wearing a very big dress. But she did her best. After the song had ended the crowd that had formed around them gave them a big applause. Rory took Finn's hand and took a bow with him before returning to the bar.

"Now, aussie. Why don't you make me another Yowibedint and then tell me what it means."

"Okay, you deserve it. That was quite the impression you did out there, Didn't think you could or would pull it of. My compliments to you, luv." Finn said and took a bow.

"Well, Finn, never underestimate a Gilmore Girl."

"I'll never make that mistake again, luv. Now, here is your 'YOu WIll BE Drunk In No Time'."

"To a life full of fun." Rory said while raising her glass.

"I'll drink to that." Finn responded.

"Me too." Logan chipped in.

Rory turned around to see her boyfriend standing behind her. Next to him were Colin and a girl she hadn't met before. She smiled at the girl and introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Rory Gilmore."

"Yes, I recognized you from the making out picture. I'm Celia, Colin's date."

"Well Celia, it's nice to meet you. You guys want a drink?" When they nodded yes she said to Finn; "Three more of your specialty, my Australian friend!"

Logan put his arms around her waist and pulled her close against his body. "You looked like you were having fun out there."

"I was having fun. Finn is an excellent human being to spend a lot of time with. I was thinking of seducing you to let me adopt him."

"Yes, Finn is really fun to hang out with, but there will be no adoption. However, I might be persuaded to grand you shared custody."

"I'm very good in the whole persuasion thing; I am, after all, the daughter of the queen of conning and persuasion. But… my blond hunky boyfriend, I think we should end this little bit of ours. It is demeaning to our friend Finn. And I don't want to hurt his feelings; he's way too sweet for that. And it's Finn's own choice who he wants to hang out with. He's perfectly capable of making such decisions for himself. Besides, we spend so much time together that he doesn't even have to choose. Right?" Rory finished her rambling.

Logan smiled at her and kissed her forehead. "Right, Ace." Then he turned to Finn. "How many of those cocktail did she have?"

"I am not drunk!" Rory stated offended before Finn could answer the question. "I might be a little tipsy, but you of all people should know that I don't need alcohol to ramble!"

Again Logan smiled at her. "I was just kidding, Ace. I love to see you get your panties in a twist."

Then it was Rory's turn to smile. "I was kidding to, Logan. Not about what I said, but about how I said it. And then another thing…" she said as she turned away from the bar "who said I'm wearing panties, anyway?" she smirked.

Logan watched Rory walking up to Steph. He was still in shock about his girlfriend's remark. As the two girls started talking and laughing he turned his attention to Finn.

"So, did you two enjoy yourselves?"

"Yes we did, mate. She is very endearing. I might take her up on that whole adoption thing. I've always wanted a little sister and I couldn't think of anyone better than Rory, can you?"

"Nope. I'm really glad you guys can get along; it means a lot to me. She means a lot to me." Logan said as he watched Rory, who was still talking to Steph.

"I know she does, mate. Now, why don't you go and dance with that lovely girl of yours while I make us another round of yowibedint?"

"That, my friend, is a very good idea."

"I'm full of good ideas." Finn said as Logan walked away to dance with his girlfriend.

"You're full of something, that's for sure." Colin commented. He had been quiet the entire time so Finn forgot he was still at the bar.

"You're still here, mate? I thought you had wondered off with your date. Where is she anyway?"

"She went to the bathroom to fix her face." Colin grunted.

"Ooh, someone's in a bad mood. Does it have anything to do with a certain reporter our best friend is dating?"

"No, not everything is about her. But now that you bring her up; you two seem to be getting along well."

"Yes, I mean, I already liked her because of the fact that she's sweet and can keep up with all of our banters. But I now that I've spend some time alone with her, I like her even more. As a FRIEND, that is."

"Yeah, right."

"Listen, mate, it's not my fault you've got the hots for her, so drop the attitude."

Colin looked at his shoes and sighed. "I know and I'm sorry, Finn. It's just…"

"Hard?"

"Yeah." Colin turned around to see the happy couple on the dance floor. They were dancing to 'I found love' from 'The free design'. You could see that they were completely lost in each other and oblivious to their surroundings. Logan had never looked so happy before and Colin was glad for him, but he couldn't stop the stings of jealousy every time she smiled at him, kissed him or matched his remarks with a clever comeback. Not a day went by that he didn't wish he had met her first. Of course he tried to get over her, he even made a list with all her flaws, but the only thing he could think of was the fact that she wasn't dating him.

Finn's voice broke him out his thoughts. "You have to get over it, mate. She makes him happy."

"I know, Finn, and I'm trying. God knows I'm trying."

"I know you are, mate. Have another drink and go find your date."

"You do realize that you're sending everyone to the dance floor, right? Are you going to join us?"

"Of course I am, as soon as I've landed myself a cute little redhead."

It wasn't long before Finn found himself a girl, but it took even less time for him to get bored with her. He escorted her back to her friends and went to find his own. He found his two best friends with the girls in their arms on the dance floor. Two feet away from them Steph was swaying to the beat with a guy that looked like he lived in the gym. He walked over to the bar, got some shot glasses and a bottle of tequila and walked up to his friends.

"Come with me, mates and luvs. I'm bored out of my skull and I want to play a few rounds of 'I've never..'. Who's with me?"
