Disclaimer: I still own nothing. How sad. By the way, last chapter when I wrote RORY: "I have another one. Did Rory put you up to this?", I meant LOGAN should say that. I'm sure some of you noticed that. Sorry! Thanks for all the reviews! Sorry this took so long to get posted! I've been having writer's block and cleaning my room.
Morning. Logan's flat in London. Rory and Logan are almost done getting ready.
RORY: "So what are we going to do today?"
LOGAN: "I don't know. You've already seen the sights, so it's really up to you."
RORY: "Why don't you do something you want, I have something I need to do."
LOGAN: "What could you possibly have to do in London hundreds of miles away from where you actually live?"
RORY: "Nothing, nothing, nothing. If you're good MAYBE you'll find out later."
LOGAN (sarcastically): "Yes mom."
RORY: "I've got to go. Let's meet for lunch at the café across the street at…..noon?"
LOGAN: "Okay."
She leaves and he looks after her with a very confused look on his face.
London airport. Rory is sitting in a chair reading a book. Mitchum, Shira, Honor, and Josh see her and walk towards her.
HONOR (excitedly): "Rory!"
RORY: "Honor, hey!" (Rory stands up and they hug)
MITCHUM: "Hello Rory."
RORY: "Mitchum, Shira, Josh. Hi. How are you?"
SHIRA: "We're wonderful. How are you?"
RORY: "Great. Thanks"
HONOR: "So, where to?"
RORY: "Well that depends. Would you like to bring your luggage to your hotel rooms now or after lunch?"
HONOR: "Well,……(looking around towards Mitchum, Shira, and Josh.) I'm starving. What about you guys?"
MITCHUM, SHIRA, JOSH: "We're hungry too."
RORY: "Okay then. Lunch first it is."
They all leave talking.
Central London Café. (I have no idea if this is an actual Café in London. If it is, great, I must have some kind of superpower because I've never been to London. If it's not, just go with me.)
Rory, Mitchum, Shira, Honor, and Josh are sitting at a table outside waiting for Logan and talking. Logan sees them and walks over to the table.
LOGAN: "Well, this is a surprise!"
There are a series of "hey's" and "hi's."
Rory and Logan kiss. RORY: "Good or bad?"
As Logan's going around the table shaking hands with Josh and Mitchum and kissing Honor and Shira on the cheek, he answers. LOGAN: "Depends on the reason."
HONOR: "Your birthday of course."
LOGAN: "Your kidding right?"
JOSH: "No. We're not."
LOGAN: "You guys came all the way to London just for my birthday?"
MITCHUM, SHIRA, HONOR, JOSH: "Yes."
LOGAN: "Huh. Okay then. Thanks."
HONOR: "You're welcome."
LOGAN: "So I'm not getting a cake and waiters aren't going to sing "Happy Birthday" to me are they? Because quite frankly that would be embarrassing and I'm a little old for it."
RORY (sarcastically): "Yes you are getting a cake. AND it has one of those candles on it that won't go out no matter how hard you blow." (Honor, who was taking a sip of her drink while Rory said that, does a spit-and-snort take with her drink.)
HONOR: "I so want to see that."
LOGAN: "Very funny."
The whole table laughs.
The group continues to have a nice lunch together. Mitchum, Shira, and even Honor and Josh, are surprised to see how good Rory and Logan are together. Just by the way they look at each other and their playful banter, the four realize that this relationship is it for both Logan and Rory. Mitchum and Shira finally get a chance to see what Honor has been trying to tell them for the past year, Rory is an amazing young woman and they should feel blessed that she chose to spend her time and very possibly life with Logan. And that they should feel even more blessed that Logan chose the best possible match for him and didn't settle for anything or anyone less.
If you were just an onlooker, all you would see is two loving parents having lunch with their children and their children's significant others. You would never have guessed that this group has had a dramatic past together and will have a dramatic yet very happy future together.
Good? Bad? Let me know! And yes, those last two paragraphs were foreshadowing. Review please!
