Disclaimer: The characters and whatnot ain't mine i just like to pretend. The song mentioned isn't mine either, its from Luke Doucets song 'Pedro'

Chapter 4- He's Not Dead!

Thirty minutes later Finn had changed the Bowie CD to Luke Doucet and was now singing along as Rory watched him because she didn't know the words.

"I'll Live a good life angel before I live a long one, and if I just can't have you angel, then goodbye angel"

"Please, We've been driving for over half an hour and I still have no clue as to where we are going, please tell me"

"No need to tell you love, we're there"

"There?" She looked out the windows widely trying to figure out where they were as Finn parked the car on the street, "Where?"

"What"

"Where are we?"

Finn pretended to be thinking, "At our destination?" And with that he hopped out of the vehicle before she could respond.

"Finn!"

He walked around the car and opened her door, "Well love, We are at a movie theatre. Said theatre is playing a marathon of some the best movies ever created."

"A movie marathon? That explains the need for comfy clothes."

"I couldn't very well force you to spend the next nine hours fidgeting and uncomfortable could I? Besides I value my life."

"Smart man."

"I like to pretend."

Rory couldn't help but laugh, "So what movies are playing?"

Finn sighed and shook his head, "I already told you they were some of the best ever created isn't that enough?"

"Definitely not."

"Well then miss, if you insist on knowing, tonight for your viewing pleasure we will be sitting through everything that is Monty Python. That is all of the movies. 'Holy Grail', 'Meaning o Life', 'Life of Brian', and, 'And Now for Something Completely Different'.

Rory blinked a couple times then smiled widely, "This is going to be one hell of a marathon."

Finn and Rory entered the theatre and both made a beeline for the concession stand. They argued over what foods were necessities for a Monty Python marathon and then decided on how much they would need so that they didn't need to make trips for more between movies. The final result was 3 bags of gummy bears, 4 bags of skittles, 4 boxes of Milk duds, 6 packages of red vines, 6 bottles of pop, 2 large bags of popcorn and a huge plate of nachos. Carrying that mass amounts of junk food they went to find seats. Finn led Rory to the middle of the middle row so they were looking directly at the center of the screen.

They settled themselves in their seats just in time for the first movie to start. Each sat quietly engrossed in the movie, the food, and the glances they secretly stole at each other. Occasionally one of them would make a comment on the movie or at certain points one or both of them would be talking along with the movie. During 'The Holy Grail' Rory and Finn both shouted out, "I'm not dead" before laughing hysterically. Finn also let his arm fall securely around her shoulders and with a pleasant smile to himself he noticed, even in the dim light, the faint blush and large smile on her face.

"I can't believe you made me spend nine hours in a movie theatre"

"The movies were good though"

"nine hours" She said monotonously "At least the seats weren't too uncomfortable'

"My butt is numb"

"Would ice cream make it up too you?"

"Ice Cream?"

Finn pointed to a small ice cream parlour across the street that was amazingly still open.

"Its so far away"

"Its only across the street"

"Feet hurt"

"You've been sitting for the last nine hours"

"tired"

Finn was staring at Rory with a rather mischievous glint in his eye.

She looked back at him with uneasiness, unsure what his look meant. "Finn, what- Ahh!" Rory screeched as Finn suddenly picked her up and carried her across the street. Entering the parlour still carrying Rory, Finn jovially waved at the single employee behind the counter. The boy slowly waved back, surprised to have a costumer, even more because of their entrance. Rory poked Finn in the shoulder, "please put me down?" She said with a pout. Finn laughed and lowered Rory to the ground. She playfully swatted his arm before running up to the counter to see the flavours of hard ice cream. Finn ordered himself a double scoop cone with tiger tiger, while Rory got a double in a cup with chocolate brownie and pralines and cream. Thanking the Cashier they walked out into the night air and Rory pouted as the car was now not only across the street but also a little ways down the road.

"Finn?"

"Yes love?"

Rory simply pointed in the direction of the car. Smirking Finn grabbed her ice cream, ignoring he cry of protest and instead of picking her up had her jump onto his back and he gave her a piggy back ride to the car. Giggling as he put her down she took back her ice cream and hopped into his car. On the drive back the music was playing, but only quietly in the background as they discussed to insanity that is Monty Python.

Arriving back at Yale Finn slowly walked Rory back to her dorm. Her hand was being held by his and she was beginning to think it fit quite nicely there. Her thoughts were cut short as his voice reached her ears.

"Rory?" Finns voice cracked a bit in nervousness as Rory looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.

"hhm?"

"I-I want to do this again"

She raised a single eyebrow, "Do what?"

"Go out with you."

Rory smiled, "Yeah?"

Finn sighed in relief and nodded, "Mnhm, but just you."

She scrunched up her nose in confusion. "What? Finn it was just us tonight, I mean aside from the other people at the marathon and of course the cashier at the ice cream parlour-"

Finn closed his eyes and touched his finger to her lips to stop her rambling, opening his eyes he looked directly in hers. Rory shivered slightly at his intense gaze. "I know, but I want to go out with you, I mean only you, I want you to be my girlfriend"

She opened and closed her mouth once, "really?"

Finn bit his lip, starting to feel very nervous. It had been a long time since he had asked a girl out, "yea"

She smiled widely, "me too."

Finn smiled happily and pulled her into a hug kissing her soundly; Rory sighed contently and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back.

The next morning as Rory went out to get some coffee she realize there was something she needed to do. Buying a coffee she headed to the Newsroom hoping Logan would be there. Oddly enough she ended up bumping into him on her way there, it seemed he was just leaving.

"Ace hey, you busy tonight? Cause I was thinking we could-"

"Logan I want to call our arrangement off"

Logan looked at Rory in disbelief, he really didn't want to hurt her, but he did not want a relationship either. "Ror, I already told you, I want a relationship, I don't do strings"

"I know, I don't want your strings, I want someone else's. I'm tying my strings back on, They aren't hanging loose for anyone to take anymore. I'm uh, giving them away."

He looked at her feeling confused, too much talk of strings."I mean I want to stop going out with you."

"You're getting involved with someone?"

Rory nodded

"Who?"

She mumbled something

"What?"

"Finn."

"Really?" Logan was surprised, he didn't know Finn was interested in a serious relationship. Actually he didn't know Finn was interested in a relationship at all. He may seem the player that spends all his nights with random girls but Logan didn't remember seeing Finn on even a date for over a month. Rory nodded.

"That's good. I'm glad you found someone who wants you, and your strings."

Rory smiled, "Thanks Logan." She kissed him on the cheek. "I'll see you around."
