I'm not actually sure where I'm going to be taking this, how long it will last or anything specific. I know I should have it all planned out like good writers do but, well, lets face it I'm not that great of a writer and I write what comes to me while I should be doing my school work. I'm sorry I don't have a lot of L/L in here but I really don't know how to do all that. I really try but I don't really know how to take it. There hasn't been a whole lot of L/L interaction this season but I will re-watch some of the better episodes and try to brush up on it. I can't make any promises though. I kinda like Logan so I may make some points or hey- maybe I can make alternate endings like in those really cool Goosebumps books. (Lol) but any-whoo thanks a bunch for taking the time to review I really appreciate it.

Rory's POV-

"What do you need to say? I have stuff to do." Jess asked.

"I need you to be polite, friendly, and basically, not yourself tonight." I explained.

"Rory, I'm quite a bit different now. I have a life of my own. I'm not a screw up anymore."

"How? I just saw you a few months ago. You couldn't have changed that quickly.

He reached into his duffle bag and pulled out a little black book. "I need to show you this or you'll never believe me."

"What is it?" he handed me a book. "'The Sub Sect'." I paused. "'Written by: Jess Mariano'?" I was shocked.

"I want to thank you. You tried to straighten me out. And I owe that book to you. Read the inside."

"'To my angel, savior and best friend. Lorelai Leigh Gilmore'." I was tearing up. "Thank you Jess." He hugged me and I felt everything I had once felt for him come rushing back and then it hit me. "Logan." I pulled out of his hug.

"Excuse me?"

"Logan is my boyfriend. I'm sorry. See." I held up my hand, illustrating the fact that I'm taken.

"Oh. Well, I'm not surprised and I can't say I'm not disappointed. But that's okay. I have a life. I had to find my good side with out you."

"I still really wanna be friends Jess. I want to tell everyone that my best buddy Jess wrote this amazing book."

He shyly smiled and looked away. "Let's get you back down there. Your food's probably done." I went to hand him back the book. "Keep it. It's yours."

"Thanks. I'm so proud of you." I gave him another hug and walked down stairs.

"Food Luke?"

"Here ya go." He set my burger and fries down on the counter. I sat and started to eat it.

"Nice shirt." Jess whispered to me. I smiled and waited for Luke to finish up.

"You ready?" he asked about ten minutes later.

"Sure. Let's go." I got into my car and he got into his truck. He drove off in the direction of the Hartford mall.

Lorelai's POV-

"Lorelai! You need some help?" I heard someone ask. I turned around and there was Logan standing in the door way.

"Are you a doctor?" I laughed to myself.

"No, but I can lift heavy objects so if you need anything moved, I'm your guy."

"I appreciate that. But we hired people to do all the actual work so you can stand around and look pretty while you help me hammer out the details, taste the food. It's always good to have a second opinion." I smiled at him.

"Great. So, how's all the planning?"

"It's hectic to put together in twenty-four hours but I enjoy hectic." We walked over to where they were setting up the buffet table. "Thank you for trying to get on my good side. The last one didn't care."

"No problem. I have a question. What is Jess like?"

'Uh-oh.' I thought. Figuring that we should be sitting when we discussed Jess, I led him to the dining room table. "You wanna sit down Logan?" Logan sat and I continued. "Jess was –ugh! I hated him. He was never good enough but I put up with it partly because Rory was with him and partly because he was Luke's nephew. Rory loved him, even though he treated her badly. He was so smart and loved books. She saw only that part of him and figured she would be able to fix the rest. He was her bad boy. When I met you I didn't like you. You were from the world that I ran away from. I worked so hard to keep Rory away from it and when you came along it seemed like you were trying to screw up my work. Plus, you were undressing my daughter. I don't mind; just don't like to see it." I laughed. "But, I know now you're not trying to change Rory for yourself. You're making her a better person. You're the balance of Jess and Dean that she's been searching for. I'm really glad that she found you."

"Thank you." He spoke up after a while.

"Why don't we introduce you to Sookie? She's the chef here and she my best friend. You'll love her." I took him into the kitchen.

"Hey! Got fresh coffee for you." She handed me a cup.

"Thanks. Sook, this is Logan."

"Nice to meet you." She hugged him and squealed. "Welcome to the family."

"Sookie loves everyone. She's not weird just doesn't get out much."

"It's nice to meet you Sookie." Logan said, looking around. "I really like the inn. It's beautiful."

"Thanks, sweetie. Could you just hang in here, help Sookie. I need to put in some more orders for tonight."

"No problem."

"Make sure she doesn't burn anything." I whispered and he laughed. "I'm not kidding." I left the kitchen and found Michel sitting at the desk, doing nothing.

"We have a big party here tonight, Michel. Shouldn't you be doing something productive?"

"The people of this town have become increasingly stupid over the years."

"Come on, Michel. Be a big boy. Tell me what's going on."

"Patty called and she said she'd be over later with the list you gave her. The only thing she couldn't find was the leopard print hat, whatever that means. Babette said Morey wanted to play his piano for you to dance to but he can't carry it here. Bad back, you know. So, you'll have to deal with CDs." He read the post-it's.

"Could you call Ms. Patty and tell her we need her salsa CD and her castanets."

"There is something missing from your genetic code, isn't there?"

"Thanks, Michel." I went to straighten the silverware when my phone rang. "Hello?"

"Mom. Good. I'm picking up Logan's dry cleaning and then I'll be home."

"Good. Hey- is it pretty?"

"It's perfect. I couldn't have picked anything better. Luke did it all himself. He knows you mom."

"I know kid. Did you know Logan was gonna help me here today?"

"He mentioned it. Did it turn out bad?" she asked.

"No. He's helping Sookie now. It's been great. But, he asked about Jess. I told him how I felt about him. Then, I went on to tell him how happy I am that you guys are together."

"I have to talk to you later. It's about Jess. It's a really good thing."

"Okay, well I'll talk to you when you get here."

"See ya then. Bye mom."

I hung up the phone, curious as to what good news she will have about Jess. 'He's joined the Peace Corps?' I laughed to myself. I was on a roll today.

I hope you enjoy it. I have the other chapter written already so review and you'll get it.
