"Lorelai, do I have to do this? The whole town is going to be there because of you big mouth!" Luke Danes complained when there were only 5 minutes till 7.
"Like I said before, I can't force you to do this snugglemuffin-"
"Don't call me that."
"but I can punish you if you don't." Lorelai smiled sweetly up at Luke, who in return scowled down at her.
"Fine, I'll do it, but only if Logan gets here in time. There's no way I'm doing this on my own," he said gruffly.
"And your in luck because I see Rory and Logan walking this way."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
"Come on, Logan! Be nervous! At least act like this dare is actually going to BE a dare for you!" Rory pleaded. She hated knowing that tomorrow she was going to have to wear a shirt all day long that says she loves Logan Huntzenberger on it and have people rag on her and start up rumors, while Logan here is perfectly fine with his dare. She should have thought of a different dare.
"First of all, Huntzenbergers are never nervous," only when I'm around you, "and second of all, I told you, I have a killer voice," Logan smirked.
"Why couldn't you have told be me this BEFORE I gave you this dare?"
"You never asked."
"Argh!!"
"Oh look, it's Luke and Lorelai. Hmm, Luke seems very nervous," Logan said, pointing at the couple as they walked out of the diner and made their way towards Rory and Logan.
"Louise!"
"Thelma!" Rory and Lorelai ran towards each other and gave the other one a big hug. "Mom, Logan isn't nervous!" Rory whined.
"Gasp! Well Luke is nervous enough for the both of them kiddo, trust me." Lorelai said evilly.
"Can we just go ahead and get this over with before more people show up?" Luke complained.
"Sure muffin. Let's go guys!" Lorelai said and started skipping off towards the gazebo. The other three followed quickly behind her.
As the four walked down the sidewalk, they started to notice how every shop they walked by, suddenly closed up right then. They also noticed how everyone that were in those shops were now trudging slowly behind the four, all huddled together. Luke didn't like this one bit, not one bit at all.
Finally, they reached the Town Gazebo. Lorelai and Rory positioned Luke and Logan exactly how they wanted the two to be, and gave them two songs to sing. The Twelve Days of Christmas, and Baby All I Want for Christmas Is You. Lorelai picked the last one out.
"I don't even know this last one, Lorelai." Luke said.
"Of course you do, babe. This song is on my Mariah Carrey Christmas CD! I play it every time you come over to my house. You may not know the words, but I just gave them to you so that should be no problem, and I'm sure you already know the tune," Lorelai explained. Luke knew she was right. There was no way he was getting out of this.
"Do you know this song Logan?" Rory asked, hoping he did. She really wanted to hear him sing this.
"Of course, Ace. I know all Christmas songs!"
"Well aren't we Mr. Anti-Hum Bug?" Lorelai said. "Now turn around and get to singing."
When the two men turned around the jaws literally dropped a mile. The whole entire town must have been there! Everyone was on the ground, wrapped up in blankets, some with mugs of hot chocolate or coffee, and even a bon fire was lit.
"Townspeople of Stars Hollow! May I have your attention before we start tonight's show?" Everyone turned to see Taylor Doose standing on a podium by the gazebo.
"Taylor! What do you think you're doing?" Luke yelled.
"I am just giving a small speech like I do before any other Stars Hollow event." Taylor calmly explained.
"This isn't a Stars Hollow event! This is a DARE!" Luke exploded. He couldn't believe the nerve these people had.
"Dare or no dare, you will still be caroling, so that makes it a Stars Hollow event. Now, if I could continue with my speech." Taylor looked over at Luke again, and saw Lorelai and Logan trying to keep him from running Taylor into the ground.
"Tonight, on the 15th of December, 2004, will become a legendary day in the days of Stars Hollow. Tonight is the night, that our very own diner man, who never participates in any Stars Hollow events, will be caroling two songs for us! He will be assisted by Rory's new love interest, Logan Huntzenberger."
"Taylor! Logan and I aren't dating!" Rory yelled, turning very red in the face.
Logan smirked.
"Give it a few days, Rory. Just a few days." Taylor replied mischievously. "Now, on with the caroling!" The whole town erupted with applause as Taylor stepped down from his podium.
"Do we really have to do this?" Luke mumbled to Logan.
"If we don't, they will probably hunt us down with torches and pitchforks."
"Your probably right. Let's get this over with." Luke sighed. Then the singing began.
"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree. On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree." The two continued to sing the whole song, but Rory was barely even listening after a while, for she was too caught up in her own thoughts.
' Wow, Logan really does have a voice to make girls swoon over him. And I think it's working on me too. I can't take my eyes off of him, I hope he doesn't look over at me. Then he will catch me. Got to look somewhere else.' Rory slowlymoved her head away from Logan and looked at the other townspeople. 'Hmm, looks like Logan's voice isn't only effecting me. Miss Patty, you better keep off. He's mine! Whoa, where did that come from?'
"On the seventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me, seven swans a swimming, six geese a laying, five golden rings"
Lorelai was also caught up in her own thoughts. 'Wow, no wonder Luke didn't want to sing. He's horrible! Poor thing, I can't believe I did this to him. Oh well, it is funny. Plus he looks really sexy doing it, if only we could mute his voice…I'll be sure to award him for this later on.' Lorelai smirked slyly to herself, imagining ways to reward Luke for humiliating himself in front of the whole town.
Finally, the song was over. The whole crowd erupted once again with cheers. The girls were mostly swooning over Logan, and then men were mostly doubling over with laughter at Luke. The second song began. This was the one Rory and Lorelai had been waiting for, so both of them quickly stopped thinking thoughts, and focused completely on Luke and Logan.
"I don't want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need. And I, I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree. I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know. Make my wish come true. Baby all I want for Christmas, is you!" Logan was looking directly into Rory's eyes as he sang this, and Rory felt her heart flutter, if possible. 'Is he really singing this for me? Does he really want me?' Rory thought. All kinds of questions started to pop into her head, but as quickly as they came, they went. All she could focus on now, was Logan's face. His lips, nose, eyes. His eyes pulled her in, and she was now experiencing "Swooning over Logan Huntzenberger". And the thing was, she didn't want it to stop.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Finally, the caroling was all over with, and the town was slowly gathering up their things to leave. Young teenage girls would come running over to Logan and giddily ask him for an autograph. This, of course, just bopped his ego up another notch.
"Well, Luke and I are gonna make our way back home so I can give him his reward-"
"Gross mom-"
"So I'll see you two later on. Drive safetly!" Lorelai gave Rory a kiss on the cheek and High Fived Logan, then grabbed Luke's hand and walked towards the house, leaving Logan and Rory to themselves. The two just stood and stared at each other for a while, until Logan finally spoke up.
"I saw you swooning over me," he smirked.
"I wasn't swooning! I was just amazed. You really can sing!"
"Well yeah, I'm not a liar!" Logan defended himself.
"Careful Pinocchio, I think I just saw your nose grow," Rory smiled. Logan gently picked Rory's hand up into his own, and then they started to walk towards his car. A light snow fall had begun.
"Look! Logan, it's snowing!" Rory said, smiling brightly. Logan was so intrigued by this girl, everything about her. He loved her smile so much, the way it lit up her features. What made this girl so much more special then all the other girls Logan had been around?
"I see that Ace. I'm guessing you have a thing for snow?"
"I get it from my mom. She has snow sensors though. I haven't developed those yet. She said I should get them soon though!" Logan laughed at this and then said,
"And what exactly are snow sensors?"
"You can tell when it's about to snow! I bet my mom told Luke it was going to snow when they walked off, because that's when it started!"
"I see. . . Well I'm sure you'll get your sensors soon. Maybe Santa will bring it to you for Christmas. Now, we better get going. It's late." Logan unwillingly let go of Rory's hand to open the car door for her, then went over and got in on his side.
The drive back was mostly quiet, but not an awkward silence, it was very comfortable. There was no feeling of having to keep saying useless stuff to fill the empty space. Rory enjoyed this, as did Logan. Both were very content with the other one.
When they finally arrived at Yale, Logan walked Rory to her dorm.
"Well, you town is very interesting Ace. I now see why you are the way you are." He meant this as a compliment, and Rory took it as one.
"Thank you. I had fun tonight. Promise me you'll sing again to me sometime?"
"It would be my pleasure. Now, I must be going, but I look forward to seeing you in that wonderful shirt that I brought to you, tomorrow. Sweet Dreams." With that, Logan swept down and gave Rory a gentle kiss on the cheek, then was on his way.
Rory sighed happily.
