A/N- hey ya'll! Yeah, I know I said last chapter that I would update sooner, but I didn't so I'm reeeally sorry, and I'm not gonna promise to update sooner anymore cuz I never know whether I'll be able to or not.. lol. I've been practicing non-stop for tennis tryouts, and now tennis has started, so I'm going to be a very busy girl for a while, but I promise, I will NOT stop writing this story, it just might take me a while to update.. I hope you are all ok with that! I'm not going to say thanks to everyone individually in this chapter because I don't have much time and I'd rather spend more time making the chapter longer, and I think ya'll will want that too.. lol, but, thanks to EVERYONE who reviewed.. I love feedback so much. Ok, now on with the chapter!

It was Saturday evening, December 22, and Rory and Logan were now officially having their first date. The two were in the car, and had been for the last 30 minutes. Rory was, of course, getting anxious about where they were going, since Logan wouldn't tell her. He was surprisingly good at telling her no when she kept bugging him—he even resisted the puppy dog face!

"Are we there yet?" Rory asked for the 20th time that night. And once again, the answer she received was no. Rory had no clue where they were; the only thing around them were trees. They hadn't passed a public place in about 20 minutes. "Where are we going?" Rory whined.

"I told you, it's a secret!" Logan smirked. He loved watching Rory squirm, she was just so cute, "but I will tell you this, we should be there in about 15 more minutes. Until then, would you please be quiet?" Logan asked nicely.

"Fine," Rory huffed, "but we're listening to what I want on the radio." Logan nodded, without taking his eyes from the road, and Rory stretched across the seat to mess with the buttons on the radio. The first station she came to was a rap station. "Ugh, I hate rap."

"Me too," Logan replied.

"Really? What guy hates rap?" Rory asked, amazed.

"This guy." Logan answered. Rory then went back to changing the stations. The passed an oldies station, which Rory liked, but Logan begged for her to change it, then a country station. Surprisingly, Logan liked this station.

"Leave it here, Ace. I like this song." It was "I Go Back" by Kenny Chesney. Rory had never really listened to country, but decided she would give it a try. She always thought of it as, "My dog died last", and "My wife left me the other day" kind of stuff… depressing, but it wasn't. She actually started to like this song. Logan was singing along with the song, and Rory thought she was going to melt. His voice was so sexy. She wondered if he knew he had that kind of effect on her.

"We're here," Logan said all of a sudden. Rory looked around and saw nothing but trees.

"And what exactly is "here"?"

"This is where are date begins. Come on, we got a little bit of a hike."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute buddy. Did you just say the word hike? As in, we have to walk a distance?"

"Um, yes, I believe that was what I said."

"You obviously don't know me that well then.. You see, Gilmore girls do NOT do exercise of any kind, at all. Not one bit." Rory stated hopelessly as Logan got out of the car and walked around to open her door.

"Well tonight you aren't going to be following this Gilmore rule of no exercise. We didn't drive all this way just to turn back ya know." He then offered her his hand, and she hesitantly took it. Then, the journey began.

"Ahh! Logan! Something just made a noise! What if it's a bear?" Rory screamed, when she heard a rustling in the bushes. She squeezed Logan's hand even harder, which he didn't mind one bit.

"Don't worry so much, Ace. Bears don't even live in this part of the country. (I don't know if they do, but in my story the don't, lol) It was probably a squirrel or something."

"Better not be a something." Rory said, looking around her cautiously. The two had been walking for about 10 minutes, and it was getting really dark. Luckily, Logan had brought a flashlight. If he hadn't, there would have been no way Rory would be in these woods. "My feet hurt!" Rory complained.

"Geez, you really aren't an outdoors person are you?"

"I warned you!"

"That you did. But you don't need to worry, we're coming up on our destination." Logan said pointing ahead of them. Rory looked and saw a small glow coming from the woods ahead of them. They walked a little faster, and then soon came into a large clearing. Rory stopped dead in her tracks.

In front her them stood a small table, draped with a lace cloth, a candle on top of it, and a feast that would feed 10 people. All around the clearing were candles and red, white and pink roses. A huge lake was behind everything, glistening in the moon light, and a white blanket of snow covered the ground. It was absolutely beautiful.

"So, do you like?" Logan asked nervously, after a few minutes of Rory not saying anything.

"Are you kidding? I love it! This is so beautiful! How on earth did you get everything done? And where did you find this place? This is amazing!" Rory started rambling.

"Good, I'm glad you love it, I know it's beautiful, I got up early this morning and started to work on it, that's why I couldn't come by you place this morning, I found it because we had one of our Life and Death Brigade outings here, and yes, it is amazing if I do say so myself." Logan smirked.

"But, how did you get all the food out here, and candles! I mean, wouldn't some animal have come and eaten the food by now? And what if the candles had tipped over and started a fire?" Rory rambled again, still in shock.

"I had Colin come out a here and set everything up. He had orders to stay here until he saw the light from my flashlight. He's probably just now getting out of the woods."

"Wow, I can't believe this. This is wonderful!" Rory smiled, as she ran over to hug Logan around the neck.

"I'm glad you like, now, how about we get us a fire started and chow down? I'm starving."

"Sounds good to me." Rory smiled. She then noticed a whole pile of wood about 5 feet from the table, a lighter by it, and a blanket on one of the seats at the table. He even planned a bonfire!

"This is so romantic, and it's only our first date! I can't wait to see what you have planned for date number two!" Rory exclaimed.

"Oh, someone's anxious now aren't they? Who said anything about date number two?" Logan smirked, looking up from the bonfire.

"Oh, I , I just thought, well I don't know" Rory stuttered.

"It's ok Ace, I'm just messing with you. Of course there will be a date number two. And hopefully a date number 3 and 4 and 5 and so on. But don't expect them to all be as great as this one; I just like to impress the girl on the first date, after that I slack off." Logan smirked. Rory highly doubted he "slacked off". He didn't seem like that type.

"Ok, let's get to eating before the food gets cold."

"You don't have to tell me twice," Rory said, digging in. There was steak, baked potatoes, macaroni and cheese, salad, and lots and lots of coffee. At the other end of the table, was what Rory guess to be dessert. She couldn't wait to get to the part of the meal.

The two sat down across from each other, and Logan slowly reached his hand across the table to grab Rory's.

"I'm really glad you like all this." Logan said seriously, his eyes staring intensely into Rory's.

"I am too." Rory said sweetly. Logan then leaned across the table and placed a soft kiss on Rory's lips. However, as soon as it began, it ended. He then went to eating like nothing had even happened. Oh yeah, tonight was going to be interesting.
