Part 12: Ready for Anything.

"That was great, love, Thank you for the invitation." Finn said kissing Rory's cheek. Rory smiled.

"It was fun, Finn. Thanks for coming." Finn gave a nod.

"Now if you'll excuse me, it is..." He looked at his watch. "One o'clock, I can still get in a few drinks at the pub." He turned around and walked away with a smile.

"Thank you so much, Rory, I had loads of fun. Your friends are very talented. I'm going to have to tell my dad." Steph said with a smile.

"Your dad?"

"He's a record producer (A.N. Convenient, huh?) He is going to love their sound." Steph looked at Colin with a flirtatious smile. "Now if you'll excuse us, Mr. Michaels offered to walk me to my dorm."

"I did?" Colin asked with a frown.

"Yes, you did, come on." She said tugging his arm.

"I guess I did. Thanks, Rory." He shouted back as Stephanie dragged him towards her room.

"You're welcome." Logan smiled then look around.

"Weren't there more of us?"

"Paris is sleeping at Doyle's and the band had to stay at the club."

"So you're all alone tonight, huh?" Rory laughed.

"Just me and Jane Austen tonight."

"Jane Austen?"

"Pride and Prejudice, Emma."

"Ahh, the author." Rory laughed.

"Yeah."

"Thanks Ace. I appreciate you taking us out tonight. There aren't many people willing to take care of Finn."

"I was fun. But you still owe me sixty dollars." She got her keys out of her purse. "And Doyle told me to tell you he expects the article by tomorrow, no excuses."

"How can you stand him?" Rory shrugged.

"He practically lives in my dorm. It's a wonder he stands Paris. He's different in private than he is in the office." Rory shrugs. "As long as he doesn't eat my food or drink my coffee, he's good in my book." Logan laughed. He walked her the rest of the way to her dorm. She started to open the door when she saw a white envelope stuck to the white board with her name written on it. It was a bit thick. She took it off and put it in her purse.

"Aren't you going to open it?" Logan asked.

"In a minute." She opened her door and walked in leaning against the door jam.

"Well, Ace, I guess this is where I leave you."

"I guess so."

"No chance of a good night kiss?" He teased. Rory smiled.

"No chance, Huntzberger." Logan nodded.

"See you later then, Ace. And thanks again."

"It was no problem. Lane was happy to meet you. It was a good thing."

"Does this mean I'm going to be around your friends more often?"

"It's inevitable. Lane is my best friend. and so is Paris, and with Paris comes Doyle. So you'll probably see Doyle a lot, too."

"Look what I'm marrying into. Why am I marrying you again?" Logan teased

"You love me dearly" Rory said in a horrible English accent. Logan smirked.

"Right, of course."

"We all know I'm marrying you for the money, Logan." Logan laughed.

"Is that so?"

"Oh yes." Logan shook his head.

"Night Ace."

"Night Logan." She smiled and closed her door. She walked into her room and went to her bathroom. She changed into her pajamas which consisted of plaid boxer shorts and a white tank top with a rubber duckie emblem on it. She washed her face off her makeup and brushed her teeth. She then took her hair out of the twist and brushed out the tangles and put it in a ponytail at the nape of her neck. She sat on her bed cross legged and took out the contents of her purse. Her cell phone, keys, her book of the night, the ring box, and the white envelope that had been on her door.

First she grabbed her cell phone. She flipped it open and saw that she had three missed messages. One from her mom and the other two from Dean. She erased them. She would call Dean back tomorrow morning. She set her phone on her nightstand and put the ring into the drawer. She'd open it tomorrow she told herself knowing she probably wouldn't. She then put the book on the floor and focused her attention on the white envelope. She picked it up and gently opened it. She took out the contents which consisted of a letter with the letters LDB in gold lettering and a black blindfold. What the hell had she gotten into? She put the blindfold back in the envelope and opened the card.

Lorelai Leigh Gilmore,

Your interest in our society has been brought to our attention. We have talked to the higher ups and they have allowed you to join us for this month's event. There are conditions to you writing your article which will be presented to you upon being picked up.

You will meet us in front of the Branford Building WITH the blindfold on on Wednesday at 4 in the afternoon.

Because of the activities that have taken place before it is imperative that you wear the blindfold. It is only temporary.

Thank you for your interest.

In Omnia Paratus!

The LDB.

Rory smiled as she put the letter back in the envelope and placed it in her drawer. She grabbed her laptop from off the floor and let the internet load up. After she typed inthe last three words, she found that it was Latin. She smiled when she found the meaning.

Ready For Anything.
