A.N: Okay, I had this all written, I mean it was all ready and everything! I even had the future chapters done... still do! But see, then I read this review asking me not to do the LDB event of You Jump I Jump Jack and I really liked that eppy too! But when I read the review I already had it all written up and everything! Well, I was in the kitchen on Tuesday getting some food and all of a sudden it came to me what they could do! This event was originally going to be for her initiation in future chapters, but when I thought about it I decided I was going to use it here! So that's why this chapter took longer than usual cause I had to re-write it! So sorry!

Also I want to give thanks to my friend Wendy... see, I originally wrote this scene for her story in the middle of the school year and asked her last week if she was going to use it! She said no and gave me permission to use this. I DID WRITE THIS, but the idea of it was both our work... seeing as it started off as a joke and came out so much more! Or imaginations ROCK! LOL! So thanks, Wendy!

Also thanks to my beta Flynn who had to re-read the event and re-beta it all! So thanks FLYNN!

I just want to add that I didn't feel like having to re-read and re-beta it all. I wanted to and I feel very privileged to do that. Reading, betaing, rereading, rebetaing gives me the greatest pleasure! - Flynn

Now onto the event seeing as I've rambled long enough! Hope it's to your liking!

Another little note that I just came across... just remember time zones... it's going to get a bit confusing, but the times are very different in my world. I'm not really sure what the time difference is, but just deal with me here. Thanks!

Part 16: The Happiest Place on Earth

Rory was annoyed! She had been sitting in the car for who knew how long, headed to who knew where. She could hear her cell phone ringing and no one did anything to stop it! Gah! She had had enough. Just as she was going to vocalize her annoyance she felt the car stop and heard car doors open along with a very load whirring sound... like an engine. She felt Logan leave her side.

"Okay, Ace." He said as he grabbed her hand and helped her off the car. "This is the part where the blindfold comes off for a short while." He said untying the black blindfold. She adjusted her eyes in the dark and saw where the loud whirring noise was coming from. It was an airplane. A private jet to be exact.

"That's a plane."

"Jeez, you really are a reporter." He teased

"Why are we at an airport?"

"Ah, not an airport, a private strip."

"Okay then, why are we at a private strip?"

"So we can get to our location."

"Which is?"

"One that you can not know." He said. Rory sighed and she climbed the steps to the private jet. She entered the cabin and smiled. It was a large cabin space and tall enough for them all to stand upright in. There were light brown leather couches on either side and a table next to a bar that was bolted to the plane. There was also a private room if anyone needed rest, along with a small refrigerator that she could only assume was filled with alcohol instead of actual food. Logan pushed her lightly inside and got in himself. Steph and Colin were lounging on the couch across from each other while Finn was over at the bar making the drinks. Logan sat at the table and Colin and Finn followed him.

"Boys and their toys." She heard Stephanie mutter. She sat down next to her.

"What?"

"Poker. They play every time." Steph said with a roll of her eyes. Rory smiled.

"So you guys fly often?"

"To events?" Rory nodded. "Yeah, I guess. Depends where we go."

"And where are we going tonight?"

"Nice try." Rory smiled. "You know, I've read some of your articles. You're a good writer." Rory smiled.

"Thanks."

"Welcome."

"Now that you've successfully changed the topic. Sly by the way."

"Thank you." Stephanie gave a wicked smile.

"Can you tell me what's going on with you and Colin."

"Wow, you're quick."

"What?"

"You're in our group two weeks and you've already figured out something's going on. It took Logan two months and Finn a year."

"Wow, that long?"

"It's nothing. We screw around, literally speaking, a kiss here and there, but the three guys over there don't do commitment. Logan had to be forced into marriage and I won't be surprised if Finn and Colin have some kind of same arrangement. Like if they're not settled down by twenty five they get the parents' pick."

"What about you?"

"My parents are splitsville, so they don't care one way or another. We have holics in our family."

"Holics?'

"Mom's an alcoholic and Dad's a workaholic. Aunt's neurotic, has the ic thing going."

"You?"

"Me... I'm normal." Rory laughed. "What about you?"

"Me? My mom got pregnant at 16, didn't marry my dad, so scandal there. She ran away at seventeen and we moved to the small town of Stars Hollow where everything is normal to our standards."

"Your standards?" Rory laughed.

"The people in our town are freaks in a nice way. We have a History obsessed Taylor who loves Town Events. Luke who hates them and owns the local diner and has the best coffee in the world. Miss Patty, the Town Flirt, and Babette who teamed up with Patty, they're the Town Gossips. Got some news to spread, it can be around town in 2.5 seconds. I broke up with my boyfriend in the middle of the night, next morning everyone knew. Then we've got Kirk who's like the town jester and well... it's just the perfect town."

"Sounds like you had a perfect and wacky life and I like the sound of Miss Patty and Babette. Those are my kind of women."

"Yeah, they're fun and my life was far from perfect. I've had my share of pain and hurt "

"Boys?" Rory laughed.

"Always is, isn't it?" Steph laughed and nodded.

"I knew I liked you for a reason."

"As much as she's going to deny it she fits in." Colin said throwing some chips into the ever growing pot. Logan sighed and threw some chips of his own. They looked over at Rory and Steph who were laughing at something. Rory had her shoes off and her feet tucked under her so that she was sitting on her knees facing Steph and Steph was sitting Indian style facing Rory.

"She's the perfect wife." Logan said.

"She doesn't want to be, mate." Finn said trying to catch a look at Colin's cards while he wasn't looking.

"No, she doesn't," Logan agreed looking up to see Finn's antics. "she wants a career." He continued as he pulled Finn into his regular sitting position. Finn just smirked and threw his chips into the pile.

"But you've got to admit. She fits in." Colin said.

"I never said she didn't. She does. I think that's what scares her the most." Logan said "I call." He said putting his cards down.

"What, that she fits in?" Finn asked and gathered his chips seeing as he won the hand

"Yeah, that she will inevitably, without her noticing, fall into the Hartford elite wife role. She doesn't want that. I can tell by how much she objects to it."

"Hey, you did too." Colin pointed it ."I have a broken paper weight to prove it."

"I don't want to do this because inevitably I will turn into my father. Never home and only screwing his wife cause he has to."

"Harsh. And what makes you think Miss Gilmore over there will let you into her bed?" Colin teased.

"Oh, don't worry. Ten years tops, I'll be there." Finn and Colin just looked at each other before bursting out laughing. Logan shook his head and laughed with them.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"What do you think they're talking about over there?" Rory asked as she turned to the three laughing boys.

"Probably some conquest or another."

"Is Logan..." Rory trailed off and Steph laughed

"No. Not since the week he found out he was to meet you. He knows better than to cause scandal in Hartford. You still sleeping with the boyfriend?" Rory blushed and shook her head.

"I haven't seen him since the night I found out. No time. And even if I did see him, I would have had to tell him. Like Logan, I know better than to cause scandal. I've been a part of two already, no need to be part of another."

"Two? Oh, do tell."

"Well, my birth being one of them. And there's a past error on my part I'd rather not talk about at the moment"

"Private, I got it."

"Not that I don't trust you, just not something I like talking about it."

"And no one's forcing you to, and believe me, I don't blame you. Secrets are hard to share, especially with a girl you've known for a few weeks and have talked to only a handful of times." Rory smiled.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. Hey, how would you like to help me with something?"

"Oh, intriguing. What am I helping with?"

"Well, I'll let you in on a secret. We're not doing any LDB things till later tonight. Right now we'll check into the hotel and give the chance to buy the costumes"

"Costumes?"

"Just go along here. We don't do anything till around eleven thirty tonight"

"Okay? But what do you need my help with?" Rory asked scooting closer.

"Well, see, last year me and the guys sort of started a prank war."

"Ooo!"

"Yeah. One prank by each side at each event. Last time we all went skinny dipping in the lake that we were staying at they stole my clothes."

"That was lame."

"I thought so too. My friend Becca let me borrow her spare swim suit."

"How'd you get back at them?"

"Glued their belongings to the roof of their cabin. That included Robert's and Seth's. You'll meet Seth later." Rory nodded.

"That was good."

"Yeah, it was. But see, now I've got you on my side."

"Me? What I'm am supposed to do?"

"You see you can help me lure the boys onto the appointed place."

"Good job at keeping the location secret."

"Thank you. Now I'll meet you tonight at your room and well go over the plan."

"And I'll know where we are?"

"Yes, you will, and believe me, you'll like it. Now, what movie do you want to watch?" Rory smiled as they went into the makeshift bedroom to pick a movie.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Steph got to her." Colin said watching as the girls huddled together and talked.

"What?" Logan asked looking over. Rory smiled at something while Steph rolled her eyes.

"You don't think?" Finn said. "Steph wouldn't turn Reporter Girl against us.

"It's three against one. She's gathering an army. I hear she's even got Evie on her side." Colin said

"Not the red head." Finn groaned as his head hit the table. Logan laughed.

"Steph is good." He watched as they got up and walked into the bedroom. "Too good. What are we doing this month?"

"I have no idea. But I think this one is going to be much more eventful than the last." Colin said.

"Much. I have a feeling more than one prank will be pulled in the next 48 hours." Logan said.

"All for one." Colin began as he put his hand in the middle of the table.

"One for all." Logan said with a smirk putting his hand as well.

"Three for five!" Finn shouted as he added his. They all broke into laughter and dealt the next game.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

The rest of the plane ride was spent in their groups. Stephanie and Rory watching Cruel Intentions which happened to be Steph's favorite movie while the guys played poker. When they finished they walked over and sat down. Logan next to Rory and Colin next to Steph while Finn sat in the middle. Rory felt her eyes close then open and realized she had missed a part of the movie.

"Tired?" Logan whispered. Rory shook her head.

"I'm good."

"You fell asleep for a few minutes. Almost missed Joshua Jackson's sex scene." Rory laughed quietly.

"Quite a sex scene that is too." Rory teased. She covered the yawn that overtook her.

"You're tired."

"Fine, I am. I didn't sleep well last night."

"Why is that?"

"Me and Paris fell asleep," She covered another yawn. "watching C-Span and eating pizza. I fell asleep on the floor, not the most comfortable place to sleep on. And I still had my dress on from last night." Logan smirked.

"Sleep. We still have an hour to get to where we're going. I'll wake you when we get there." Rory nodded and rested her head on his shoulder and turned her head to watch the movie. Logan looked down to see her eyes closed and her breathing even. Logan sighed and watched the rest of the movie.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Hey Ace, wake up." Rory opened her eyes and looked at Logan who was shaking her. "We're here." Rory sat up and looked around the empty plane.

"Where is everyone?"

"Waiting in the limo. Come on."

"What, no blindfold?" Logan smirked.

"Nah. You know the conditions. I trust you." Rory smiled as he led her off the plane and towards the black stretch limo. The chauffer opened the door and tipped his hat. "Thanks, Frank."

"No problem, Mr. Huntzberger."

"You know where, right?"

"Yes sir." Logan smiled and helped her into the limo and got in himself. Frank closed the door and went to his own side.

"So, where are we going?" Rory said. Colin and Finn groaned while Steph smiled.

"You'll find out soon enough. Just be patient."

"Patience is not my forte, Huntzberger."

"Well, it's got to be. Now Steph, what are you planning on doing?"

"Well, tonight is evening wear, right?" Steph asked. Logan nodded. "Well then, I'm taking Rory shopping for our costumes. We need costumes."

"You know the theme?" Colin asked.

"Look at where we're going, Colin. The theme is obvious, isn't it?" She asked sarcastically and with a roll of her eyes. Colin shook his head and crossed his arms.

"Why isn't she wearing the blindfold?" Colin asked. Logan laughed.

"What's the point of it now? The only thing that we've got to keep secret is the air strip. Other than that she's going to know anyhow."

"She's right here." Rory said.

"We know, love. So how are you liking this trip so far?"

"Good. I already have half a notebook full. Private jets, blindfolds, invitation, costumes, private strips. Now all I need to know are the events and the theme." Logan smiled.

"My god, woman, you can write an article with just a two hour plane ride. You are a reporter!" Finn exclaimed opening a bottle of champagne.

"I try." Rory said with a smile. Stephanie rolled down her window and looked out. Rory turned her head and went wide eyed. Mickey Mouse emblems were all over the place. Rory turned back to a smirking Logan.

"Disneyland, Logan! The LDB is having their event at Disneyland!"

"We tried to get Disneyworld, but Finn got kicked out last year and well, no LDB event is complete without Finn." Logan explained as the limo came to a halt. Frank went around and opened the door for them. Logan got out first and held out his hand. Rory took it and he helped her out. "It is, after all, the happiest place on Earth." Rory shook her head and gave a laugh.

"That it is, Huntzberger, that it is." He smiled at her and led her into the hotel, Steph, Colin and Finn behind them.
