Midnight Confessions Chapter 7
Hours passed before anyone knew it was time for Rory's hunt to begin.
"Rory, here is Logan's present to you." Luke said handing the present to Rory. Rory was wishing that Logan was there to give it to her himself but he had called just a few hours ago telling her that his parents where dragging him to some society Christmas thing. They really weren't he was just busy with Finn and later Colin putting the clues in there place.
"Where is he?" Lorelai questioned knowing exactly where Logan was she just wanted to know what Logan told Rory.
"His parents are dragging him to some Christmas society event." Rory explained while opening her present from Logan. After she unwrapped it and opened the box Lorelai started asking questions.
"What is it Rory?" Was question Lorelai asked?
"It is a note from Logan." Rory stated.
"Read it out loud." Lorelai stated.
"It says:
Ace,
For you Christmas present you are going on a scavenger hunt. Luke's coffee will be provided for you along the way. The place will look familiar because they have a special meaning to me and even to you. My special meaning will be shared by the clues. Your first clue is this is where we had our first banter session."
"Wow, sounds like fun. I will join you, but what is the answer? Where do we go?" Lorelai questioned.
"Yale outside my dorm room from sophomore year." Rory explained.
"Ok, let's get this show on the road." Lorelai said while saying goodbye to Luke. After 30 minutes they arrived at Yale and found a cup of coffee with the next clue. Rory read it.
Ace,
This is where we were at when you called me a butt-faced miscreant.
"Oh wasn't that in the dinning hall?" Lorelai asked.
"Yes. I was hosting Anna when that happened." Rory explained while remembering that day when Logan and the other 2 stooges played that prank on her during Professor Bell's class. That was one day she will not forget.
"Let's go Rory. I can't wait to see what your present is." Lorelai stated. They walked to the dining hall and there on the steps was another cup of coffee and a clue taped to the lid. Rory once again read the clue aloud.
Ace,
This is where the gang would hang out a lot. We also met here for the newspaper one time when you helped me out with a story.
"Time to head to the pub." Rory explained.
"Why? You can't drink and I sure don't want a drink." Lorelai said sounding like she didn't know why.
"Because that is where the next clue is at." Rory explained knowing damn well that Lorelai knew why.
"Why would the next clue be at the pub?" Lorelai questioned.
"Because that is the answer to the clue. Now stop asking so many questions when you know the answer." Rory said. The two Gilmore Girls walked to the pub talking about what Rory's present could be. The arrived at the pub and walked in. Rory looked around at the sight in front of her. Nothing had changed around the pub except the bartenders. One looked really familiar like someone from her past. She walked up to the bar and asks her question.
"Hi, I am Rory Gilmore. I was wondering did a one of these guys come in her (She showed the bartender a picture of Logan, Finn and Colin.) and leave a cup of coffee." She said not expecting what would happen next.
"Yes Rory, Logan, Colin and Finn came in here about 2 hours ago,"
"How did you know their names?" She questioned still not knowing why the guy she was talking to looked familiar.
"You honestly don't remember me. I can't blame you. I mean it has been five years since we last talked." This guy said while handing her the next clue. Then it hit her why this person looked so damn familiar, she felt bad.
"OH MY GOD, I am so sorry I didn't recognize you. Wow, you look different in some ways." Rory stated.
"Yeah, you're not looking so bad yourself. I see you and Logan are still together not married yet since I see no ring." This guy she knew said.
"Thanks and you are right we are not married yet. He is sending my on a scavenger hunt to get my Christmas present. I wish that I had more time to catch up but I really don't. Here is my number give me a call and maybe we can meet sometime soon." Rory said while handing Marty a business card. He looked at it for a few.
"Wow, you did achieve your dreams." Marty said.
"Yeah, I better go I can't wait to get my present. Talk to you soon." Rory said.
"Ok, talk to you soon.' Marty stated.
"Alright." Rory said as she turned around clue in hand and headed to the door clue in hand. Lorelai was shocked. The clue read:
Ace,
This is where we had the night from hell. This is also the day that I thought I would lose you.
"Wow. Where is that and wasn't that a surprise?" Lorelai stated.
"That was the dinner at the Huntzberger Mansion and yes that was a surprise." Rory replied.
"Oh, do we have to go in to the mansion?"
"No."
"How do you know?"
"Logan just text me and said that Honor will bring me the clue and coffee."
"Oh and how do we get a hold of Honor?"
"I will call her as we are pulling in."
"Ok, let's go." They were off once again.
