Part 18: Welcome to the LDB, Ace.

Rory and Steph walked into their room while Evie went to the room across from theirs. The bags from the stores they went to were sitting on the table and around it as well as on the dresser.

"I think we went a little shopping mad." Rory said as she flopped down on one of the queen size beds. Steph laughed and flopped down next to her.

"Logan will learn to appreciate it, I mean you are getting married."

"Yeah, but we each inherit our own money. Well, me at least."

"How much?" Steph asked casually sitting crossed legged on the bed next to Rory's head. Rory shrugged.

"I don't know. I know I get the money that my great grandma Lorelai put in a trust for me at sixteen and that was a quarter of a million, so by now who knows. Then there's also the money my grandfather on my dad's side left me out of respect as well as an island in the Bahamas that he bought."

"Oh my god, you get an island?" Rory nodded.

"I'm thinking the house on it is also mine, but I'm not quite sure."

Steph laughed."Yeah, it's yours."

"Then there's the money my grandparents gave me and the money we got from the engagement party. So, I really don't know how much I'm worth."

"You and Logan together have got to be worth millions. Billions even. This marriage is the biggest one this year."

"So I've heard. Can we not talk about that now though?" Steph smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. Hey, I'm going to jump in the shower and do my hair, then you can get in and I'll do yours." Rory nodded.

"That's fine."

"Cool." Steph grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom closing the door. Rory flipped through the channels and stopped on a re-run of Willy Wonka.

"Hey, have you seen the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie?" Rory yelled through the door.

"The what factory?" Steph asked poking her head out.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You know, it's a about a chocolate maker who invites five kids to his factory for a tour and he has Oompa Loompas and ever lasting godstoppers and a glass elevator and a TV that transports chocolate."

"Never heard of it." Steph admitted. Rory gasped.

"You're kidding?"

"Nope, no kidding here. Dead serious."

"We're renting it. I don't care what time this event thing is over, we are stopping at a blockbuster and renting that." Steph smiled and nodded.

"We've got a deal. Now I'm going to get in the shower."

"Right, right. Go, go." Rory laid back down on the bed and watched the end of the movie. A half an hour later Steph walked out of the bathroom, hair done in a classic twist.

"I'll do my make up out here while you shower, then I'll do your hair." Rory nodded as she grabbed a towel and stripped down and got into the shower. Steph was applying her black eyeliner when she heard a knock on the door. She opened it without checking and went on with her make up.

"Hey, Steph." Evie said walking in. She dangled a silver key in front of her along with a card key.

"You got it."

"Yep. I told Finn I'd take care of them. Of course he was a bit tipsy, but when is he not." Steph laughed and looked at Evie. She was in her bathrobe and had a dress bag over her arm.

"You dressing here?"

"Yep. Told Finn to pick me up here."

"Well, Rory has decided to have a movie night tonight. Charlie and the Chocolate factory."

"Johnny Depp is in it, right?" Steph shrugged.

"Think so. Not sure. Rory probably knows."

"She knows what?" Rory asked coming out with a towel around her.

"Is Johnny Depp in the new one?"

"New one of what?"

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

"Yep. I haven't seen the new one though. Which I am now finding very surprising." She shrugged and looked at Steph. "So hair?"

"Right. Just a sec." She finished the other eye and smiled. "Okay, bathroom." She ushered her back inside and got out a dryer and curling irons. Twenty minutes later she was done. Rory's hair was also in a twist with curls while two simple strands of hair came down on either side of her face. Steph handed her the bag with her dress and a make up bag, so she could get dressed.

"Thanks, Steph."

"No prob." Steph closed the door seeing as Evie was already dressed in a white satin strapless ball gown, the bodice had red detail on the top with red flowers falling down, fading at her waist. The dress fell to the ground where she wore red leather peep toe pumps.

Steph grabbed her gown bag and shoes marked with an S, so that her and Rory wouldn't get theirs mixed up. She unzipped it and pulled it over her head. It was a beige gown with long sleeves, high collar and low v-neck. The waist had gold detail leaves while the dress fell well past her feet where she wore beige peep toe sling back pumps with a bow on the toes.

Someone knocked on the door and Steph rolled her eyes as she looked at the clock. Eleven right on the dot. She hated when they were on time. Evie got up and opened the door.

"Boys." she said as she let them in. They were all wearing tuxes and their shiny black dress shoes. Steph stood up and grabbed Colin's arm while Evie grabbed Finns.

"Rory's in the bathroom getting ready." Steph said as they led the boys out of the room. Logan sat down on the bed and flipped the channels. He saw the bathroom door open and Rory walk out with the back of her dress unzipped.

"Hey Steph, can you zip me up?"

Logan walked over to her and zipped it up slowly. It was off white dress with beaded bodice, the gown fell onto the floor in layers of satin with accented beaded figures throughout the dress.

"She and Evie left."

Rory jumped at the sound of the deep voice before looking behind her. "So she left you here to wait for me?"

Logan smirked and zipped it up the rest of the way. "Pretty much. Now hurry, we've only got twenty minutes to get to our group." Rory nodded and went to the closet and grabbed the shoe box. She opened it up and took out the shoes and smiled. They were Louboutin silver "Drapinight" pumps. She sat down and put them on. When she stood up she did a spin and smiled.

"Perfect, Ace. You look like a member." He grabbed her hand and led her outside.

"So what exactly should I expect tonight? Any ritual sacrifices of a virgin?" Logan laughed.

"No, not tonight. We save those for the annual meetings." Rory laughed as they met Stephanie, Evie, Colin, Finn, Robert, his date and another couple.

"Rory, this is Seth and his date, Ruth, and then you know Robert and his date, Judith."

"Everyone calls me Jude." She said Rory smiled and shook her hand.

"Like the Beatle's song." Rory stated.

"Huh?"

Logan laughed as Rory was about to explain. "Let it go, Ace, the girls in the LDB aren't as cultured."

Rory nodded and smiled at Jude."Never mind."

Jude shrugged and nodded.

"Let's get going." Seth said as they made their way out of the hotel. Luckily the hotel was in close proximity to the park, so all they had to do was walk. They went up to the entrance gates and the people looked at them weird.

"The park closes in twenty minutes." One of the women said smacking her gum as she said it. Logan smiled one of his charming smiles that Rory assumed made all the girls swoon.

"Yes we're aware of that, but you see, my lovely new wife just loves Mickey and his friends. And seeing as we're leaving in an hour back home she wanted one trip on the teacups, but see, we just got married this morning and well, you know newlyweds."

Rory thanked the gods that it was dark seeing as she was beet red. The lady gave a nod of acknowledgement and accepted their tickets. As they walked in Rory smacked his arm.

"I refuse to be an accomplice in your great master plan."

Logan laughed. "Hey, it got us in and that's what counts."

Rory rolled her eyes.

"So, where to now?" Steph asked.

"To our spots until I call." Colin said. "I'll be around, cell phones at the ready. In Omnia!" Colin said as he ran off in the opposite direction they were headed. They came to a fork in the cobblestones.

"This is where we split." Seth said leading Ruth towards the right along with Robert and Jude. "In Omnia!" The four shouted as they walked off. Finn, Evie, Steph, Logan and herself walked to the left.

"So, what exactly is the LDB doing in Disneyland? And I've been meaning to ask you, I know you said no locations, but how am I supposed to write about the events if I can't mention any of this?" Logan laughed.

"Ace, you're the reporter, you figure it out, and as for us in Disneyland, you'll find out in a few minutes, but for right now we've got to get to our spots. Finn." Logan said pointing in front of them. Finn nodded.

"Come along, darling."

"See you guys later." Evie giggled as she ran behind Finn.

"Steph."

"On my way. Bye, Ror. I'll meet up with you later." Then she ran off. Logan pulled her along.

"What did they mean 'see you later', Logan? The park closes in ten minutes."

"I am very well aware at what time the park closes. Over here." He said leading her into a dark opening.

"Logan, what are we doing?"

"Ace, calm down and be quiet a minute, and I'll explain." He whispered as he led her towards the back. "Look, our event happens to be here in Disneyland. Each month three people plan the events. This month happened to be our month."

"And by 'our' you mean..."

"Colin, Finn and I, so we decided it would be fun to have it here. Plus we know a couple of guards and they're helping us out for a hefty sum."

"You're paying off guards. That's got to be illegal."

"Which is why you are not allowed to state names."

"You're never going to be able to pull this off, Logan. I read that you do a big event, usually one that entails jumping off something big and tall."

"Rory, darling. Have you noticed anyone missing from your classes for about a week or so?" Rory racked her brain and shrugged.

"Maybe."

"Well, those people have been here for a week. Surveying the guards and their routes and their times. In two minutes a guard is going to walk past here towards Toon Town, then turn back towards the castle. Ace, we've got this all figured out. As for the event, it's not as big this time around, no jumping off anything. We were planning on jumping off the castle, but upon further investigation, well, we found that it was impossible and Seth wasn't able to build a platform in an hour. Something about it being shotty." Logan shrugged. "But it'll still be fun."

"What about cameras, Logan? Those things are everywhere!" Logan gave out a frustrated sigh. Rory gave an amused smile.

"Rory," He said slowly, she knew she was starting to wear him down. "Seth, Robert, Ruth and Jude went towards the guards' office to switch the tapes. Finn and Evie went to disable the main alarms of the stores and Steph is fixing things up. Ace, we've done this before, now shush." Rory was about to speak, but Logan covered her mouth with his hand and pointed to the end of the ally where a guard was walking past them whistling the theme to Bonanza. Rory stifled a giggle at the song of choice. When he walked past, Logan uncovered her mouth. "We'll leave here in about ten minutes when we hear him go in the opposite direction." Rory nodded.

"No wonder I can't state names or locations. You guys would all be in serious trouble." Logan nodded and sat down. "So..." Logan looked up at her as she leaned against the wall.

"So?"

"My grandmother cornered me last night."

"That doesn't sound good."

"She wants to go over wedding plans with me. It turns out your mother and my grandmother have it all planned, they just want me to approve colors." He watched as she checked the ground before sitting. Logan sighed and pushed her back up before she sat down and pulled her down on his lap.

"We can't have you getting your dress dirty." Rory nodded and looked down at her hands. "Rory, what do you want?"

"What?"

"For a wedding. How did you always dream of it being?"

"Me?" Rory sighed and looked back up at him. "I always dreamed of getting married in Stars Hollow. You know, I was raised there, not Hartford. Having a red carpet leading up to the gazebo from Miss Patty's with blue rose petals lining the edges. The whole town would be there. And my dream guy would be standing at the steps, waiting for me with a smile on his face. Of course, my dream guy back then was the Prince from Sleeping Beauty." Logan chuckled. "My dress would be flowing down past my feet and two little kids, preferably a girl and a boy would be holding my train. Then Paris, Lane and my mother would be my bridesmaids, my mom the maid of honor. And my dad would walk me down the aisle."

"Jeez, you have this all planned don't you?" Logan teased. Rory blushed and shook her head.

"Every little girl dreams of her wedding day, Logan. Just ask Steph and Evie. They probably have theirs all planned for when they marry Colin and Finn." Logan laughed and leaned his head against the wall.

"Those two will never get married, Ace."

"I don't know. Finn seems to really like Evie and Colin and Steph have a thing going."

"You know?" Logan asked surprised. Rory raised an eyebrow.

"Who doesn't?"

"What about the reception?"

Rory smiled. "Well, we would dance to our song as the first song as husband and wife. The whole town would be there. Lane would be the DJ. And it wouldn't end till like the early morning. Then we'd fly off in a flying car called Grease Lighting and we'd arrive in Hawaii"

"You watched a lot of Grease as a child, didn't you?"

"I liked the fact that John Travolta knew how to dance." They heard a faint whistling and Logan helped Rory stand up and got up himself dusting his pants. He checked to see if Rory got any dirt on her dress which she didn't.

"Don't worry about the wedding plans, Ace. Tell them what you want. Don't let them push you into something you don't want." He said pulling her out of the ally and walking towards Toon Town.

"Too late for that, isn't it?" Rory muttered intended only for her ears. Logan looked at her and gave her a sad smile.

"I meant the plans." Rory looked up and nodded. "Look, no more wedding talk for the rest of the time here. For now and tomorrow we are not the future Mr. and Mrs. Huntzberger, we're just Logan and Rory. We won't think about all that until Thursday when we're back in the state of Connecticut. Agreed?" Rory smiled and nodded.

"Agreed."

"Well then Ace. Let me just say welcome to the Life and Death Brigade." With that she looked in front of her to see men and women, all in tuxes or ball gowns coming towards the teacup ride from the four different corners. Colin was in the center next to a table with empty champagne flutes, bottles of champagne and manila folders. He was wearing a top hat and was greeting people as they came and got on the ride.

"Wow."
