Logan's Car

Logan is driving, with Rory in the passenger's seat. Rory looks out of the window, having barely said anything. Logan looks at her and then back to the road.

Logan: "You're quiet this morning."

Rory: "Late night."

Logan: "Is that so?" Logan says, raising an eyebrow.

Rory: "Intrigued?"

Logan: "By you Ace, always!"

Rory looks at him and smiles before looking back out the window.

Logan: "So-"

Rory: "So - what?"

Logan: "So come on, spill the beans, report the news, do the daily chat show gossip."

Rory: "Why do you wanna know so much?"

Logan: "Curious mind, journalistic instincts, nosey boyfriend pick a category."

Rory turns and looks at him.

Rory: "Oh you know the usual, went to a bar, picked up a local biker boy. He was quite the charmer and those muscles; jeez I think Arnold Schwarzenegger has competition, oh and I especially liked the tattoo on his arm of a heart with Mom written in the middle, that showed he was homely."

Logan: "Obviously someone's been watching too much night time TV."

Rory: "Are you sure you don't mind going to visit my grandparents?"

Logan: "Talk about changing the subject." He smirks. "I don't mind, might even earn myself a little cash while I'm there"

Rory: "Huh?"

Logan: "Well, Richard and my father play golf and its no secret that they both like to have a bet on the side. Last time I joined them, your grandfather hustled me out of $1000."

Rory: "My grandfather hustled you? How 1986 'Color of Money.'"

Logan: "Tom Cruise fan?"

Rory: "No, no! My mom used to make me watch it over and over again when I was eight, she was in love and I think still is in love with Paul Newman. I thought he was good looking in his day, like in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, but now it would be necrophilia or something."

Logan laughs as he changes gear. Rory rests her hand on top of his before they turn into the Gilmore Residence and park.

Rory: "So you're going to try and hustle my grandfather, while my grandma and I do something and then we meet for lunch?"

Logan: "That's the plan, Ace. Unless you wanna skip this and go for a day trip, drive in the country, go to a country pub…tempted?"

Rory: "Very…"

Logan leans over and kisses Rory. She puts a hand on the side of his face and the other on his shoulder to keep herself balanced. They pull apart.

Logan: "I missed you last night. I was kinda hoping for a little mission impossible, breaking through the window and giving me a midnight visit."

Rory: "Climbing a tree or a ladder and then breaking and entering, you know I'm not that kinda girl." She says smiling. "Although I do think I would look good decked out in the clothes aspect. Charlie's Angel, no wait, Wonder woman that was my calling in another life."

Logan: "I would have liked to see that." He says smirking.

Leaning in again, kissing Rory. As the kisses becomes deeper and longer, Rory pulls back slightly. Logan licks his lips and looks at her with the cheekiest grin on his face. Rory looks to the house and sees Emily looking out of the window. Logan looks up and smiles, waving to Emily.

Rory: "You're such a suck up."

Logan: "Kiss ass is on my résumé."

Gilmore Residence

Rory and Logan walk up to the front door and ring the doorbell. The maid answers and lets them in.

Maid: "Good morning. Can I take your coats?"

Rory: "Uh, sure thanks."

Rory looks at the maid with an eyebrow raised, new maid. As Logan and Rory takes off their coats and gives them to the maid, Emily walks into the foyer, Richard is on the phone in his office.

Emily: "Rory, Logan how lovely to see you again."

Logan: "The pleasure is all mine Emily, thank you for extending the invitation to me."

Logan, holding a bottle of wine hands it to Emily. Emily takes the bottle and reads the label and a wide smile appears on her face.

Emily: "Oh, it's wonderful."

Logan: "I thought you might like it, my mother said you have excellent taste and thoroughly enjoyed your visit to our vineyard last year."

Richard walks into the foyer.

Emily: "Richard look, Logan brought us a 1955 bottle of Blanc Suzchen from his family's vineyard."

Richard: "How lovely. Emily has impeccable taste for wine, so if she approves it must excellent. Well Logan, I hope all is well with your family."

Logan: "Couldn't be better. My parents are actually vacationing on the yacht off the South of France and they send their regards of course."

Richard: "Good, that's good. So Logan I hope your ready for the challenge of a lifetime. I won't be so easy on you as I was last time."

Logan: "I've been practising, Richard."

Richard turns to Rory.

Richard: "Last time we played golf, Mitchum and Logan both thought they could challenge these old, pro golfer hands."

Rory: "I heard. Apparently you're quite the hustler grandpa."

Richard smiles, Rory turns to Emily.

Rory: "So Grandma, while Grandpa and Logan are off playing golf, what will we be doing?"

Emily: "Well I thought it would be a treat if we all golfed together."

Rory: "Huh?"

Rory looks at Emily, with her mouth slightly open.

Logan: "Sounds like an excellent idea."

Rory looks at Logan, shaking her head slightly.

Emily: "There are clothes in your bedroom Rory and Logan, I believe you're a member at the Golf Club."

Logan: "Yes ma'm, always keep a spare outfit there. Never hurts to be prepared.."

Richard: "Excellent. Well come on Emily, we should go to the club and make sure the Lunch seating has been reserved, I said we would have a drink with Dominic Maywood before setting off for the game."

Emily: "Richard you're always working. Fine, well Rory, Logan we shall see you at the club."

Richard walks to the door and opens it for Emily, who walks out arguing slightly about Richard always working. Richard smiles to Rory and Logan before walking out. Rory turns and looks at Logan, crossing her arms.

Logan: "That's not a good look."

Rory: "That sounds excellent Richard" She says imitating Logan.

Logan: "I do not sound like that."

Rory: "Well…maybe not, but you agreed to golf. You know I'm not the most athletic person, I consider running upstairs to be sufficient exercise."

Logan: "You've never played golf before?"

Rory: "No, Yes I have but that's not the point."

Logan: "Then what is the point."

Rory: "The point is, you're going to try and hustle my grandfather out of money…"

Logan jumps in before Rory has time to finish her sentence.

Logan: "You want in, Ace?"

Rory: "What, no!"

Logan: "It's just a little bit of fun and you know you want to. Richard and Emily will be working the same angle. How about 70/30?"

Rory looks at him firmly and then smiles.

Rory: "50/50 or no deal."

Logan: "Deal."

Rory: "I feel we should shake on it."

Logan extends his hand, which Rory takes. As they shake, he pulls her closer and kisses her. As they pull apart.

Logan: "That was to seal the deal."

Rory: "Signed sealed and delivered."

Logan: "Oh, I have something to give you later."

Rory: "Something to give me? Like what?"

Logan looks at her smirking.

Rory: "You're not going to even give me a little hint?"

Logan: "And ruin the fun, no way Ace."

Rory: "Fine, I don't want to know anyway."

Rory turns around and starts to walk up the stairs. Logan follows. Rory stops on the stairs, looking down at him.

Rory: "Oh – is this the gift?"

Logan: "What?"

Rory: "You know…"

Logan looks at her confused. Rory folds her arms.

Rory: "Is your gift a little rendezvous in my grandparent's house?"

Logan: "I was just going upstairs…"

Rory: "No…"

Logan smirks.

Logan: "Your mind is always in overdrive. I was just going to the bathroom."

Rory: "Oh."

Logan: "Suspicious mind, Ace."

Rory turns around and walks up the rest of the stairs to her bedroom. Logan turns on the landing and walks to the bathroom.

Later

Logan knocks on Rory's 'bedroom' door and walks in. He smirks, seeing Rory dressed in the same style of golfers clothes she wore the first time she went to the club.

Rory: "Don't laugh. I look hideous."

Logan: "No, you look cute."

Logan laughs. Rory nudges past him. Logan shrugs.

Logan: "What, you do!"

Rory walks down the stairs, Logan follows.

Rory: "I can't believe I'm going out looking like this, I look I'm wearing the rejects from Macy Gray's closet."

Logan laughs. Rory walks past him, nudging him.

Logan: "Wait, no, I'm sorry you look cute….you do."

Rory turns back and looks at him having just opened the front door. Logan walks up to the door looking into her eyes.

Logan: "I try…"

Rory raises an eyebrow. Logan, half singing/half talking

Logan: "To say goodbye and I choke…try to walk away and I stumble…"

Rory: "Keep it up bucko, and my foot just might make you stumble."

Logan: "I'm sorry, am I forgiven?"

Logan looks at her with puppy dog eyes. Rory smirks but tries not to.

Rory: "I would start sucking up, cause I'm your, partner in crime….your accomplice, your side kick. I'm the Robin to your Batman, the Hutch to your Starsky…"

Logan: "Wait….why am I Starsky? I have the blonde hair, the wit…"

Rory: "You're right, I should be Starsky because I am the brains…."

Logan: "Really, and what does that make me?"

Rory smiles.

Rory: "Come on Hutch….we'll be late."

Golf Club

Richard, Emily, Rory and Logan are stood at the first hole, with the two golf buggys behind them. Emily and Rory have already taken their first swing. Richard places his ball on the green, swings and hits the ball. It gets a good range. Richard, smiling walks past Logan and stands next to Emily. Rory looks at Logan.

Rory: "Go Tiger."

Logan smiles: "What?"

Rory: "Oh, I thought it was appropriate. Golf and Tiger, Tiger Woods…see the reference."

Logan: "I do love the way your mind works."

Logan walks up to the green and places his ball down. Swing and a hit and the ball goes straight on course, past Richard's, who watches shocked. Emily looks at Richard.

Emily: "I thought you said this was going to be easy."

Logan walks over to the three of them, Emily and Richard look at him in a little shock.

Logan: "Phil Mickleson is a family friend…"

Richard and Emily both smile at one another, impressed. As they walk over to their buggy, Rory and Logan start to walk to theirs.

Rory: "Phil Mickleson?"

Rory looks at him raising an eyebrow, obviously clueless as to who he is. Logan smirks.

Logan: "Golf pro…"

Rory still looks at him blankly.

Logan: "Same league as Tiger Woods….It would seem once again I regain my title of Master and Commander."

Rory: "What?"

Logan: "Well usually Ace, its you with the knowledge…the smarts, but today I'm on the ball."

Rory smirks, listening to the pun. They get into the buggy and drive down the green.

Golf Club Restaurant.

Richard, Emily, Rory and Logan are sat around a table beside the window, over looking the golfing green. The maître d', Oliver walks to the table.

Oliver: "Richard, Emily how wonderful to see you again. I see you have company."

Richard: "Yes, Oliver you of course know Logan Hutzenberger."

Oliver and Logan nod to one another.

Richard: "And this is my granddaughter, Rory. Rory this is Oliver Martinez."

Oliver: "It's a pleasure Miss Gilmore and may I say you look just like your mother."

Rory: "Oh thank you."

Rory says a little confused.

Oliver: "Well if you will excuse me, I must meet with Dominic Maywood Richard, Emily, Logan always a delight. Rory, it was a pleasure meeting you and please send my regards to Lorelai.."

Oliver walks away over to the bar. Rory leans in across the table slightly.

Rory: "How does the Maitre D' know mom?"

Emily: "They went to school together. I believe Oliver was a grade ahead of your mother."

Richard: "Oliver is quite the intellect. His parents died when he was 17 and once he was of age, he gathered his inheritance and invested it into a small golf club…which is now one of the most flourishing golf clubs in the country."

Rory: "Wow, that's impressive."

Richard: "It most certainly is."

Emily: "Logan, what are your plans this summer? Are you joining your parents in the South of France?"

Logan: "Eventually...a couple of friends and I are taking my grandfather's yacht to Hawaii."

Emily: "That sounds delightful, doesn't that sound delightful Richard."

Richard: "It most certainly does."

Emily: "Rory, what are your plans this summer?"

Rory: "Oh, I'll be sailing through literature. I'm working at the bookstore in Stars Hollow, that way I get to read all the literature I want and even get a discount for some books I need for Yale next year."

Richard looks up to Dominic Maywood and sighs. Emily looks over and sees Judy,Dominic's wife walk in.

Emily: "Oh, we had better go say hello now they've seen us."

Richard: "Excuse us."

Richard and Emily get up and walk over to the bar. Logan turns to Rory.

Logan: "Come with me."

Rory: "Where?"

Logan: "To Hawaii."

Rory who is drinking from her glass, coughs out of shock.

Rory: "What? I can't."

Logan: "Why not?"

Rory: "Because I…made plans."

Logan: "and I want them to include me."

Rory: "I-"

Logan: "Picture it Ace, you, me the blue pacific. Strawberry daiquiri's, Colin trying to throw Finn overboard…I want to spend the summer with you."

Rory looks at Logan and looks down to the table. Logan sighs.

Logan: "Ah well, it was worth a try."

Richard and Emily sit back down at the table. Emily looks at Logan and then Rory. N

Emily: "I'm sorry did we miss anything?"

Rory looks to Logan and then back to Emily, smiling.

Rory: "Logan just invited me to go sailing for the summer….and I said yes."

Logan looks at Rory and smiles. Richard and Emily smile looking at one another, their smiles practically beaming.

Gilmore House

Lorelai is sat in the living room. Rory walks into the house.

Lorelai: "How was lunch?"

Rory walks into the living room.

Rory: "It was good, no it was great. I won $1,000 from Grandma and Grandpa, they tried to hustle us….but you should have seen Logan, he was like Tiger Woods only with a decent hair cut."

Lorelai smiles.

Lorelai: "Anything else happen?"

Rory: "Ugh, we went to lunch oh and I met an Oliver Martinez, who sends his regards."

Lorelai: "Oliver Martinez?"

Lorelai raises an eyebrow and then smiles.

Lorelai: "Oli. Wow, I haven't thought about that boy since my sixth grade crush on him died out…."

Rory sits down on the couch. Lorelai looks at her.

Lorelai: "So when do you leave?"

Rory: "What?"

Lorelai: "My mother phoned my at work half an hour ago to gloat about the news. Apparently you and Logan have gotten quite serious and that your spending the summer on his yacht?"

Rory: "Mom."

Lorelai: "On his yacht? What happened to having a quiet summer?"

Rory: "He asked me to go is all and I said yes."

Lorelai: "Rory, don't you think you're jumping into this a little too fast, it's kinda reminiscent of J.LO wedding fast."

Rory: "We're not getting married."

Lorelai: "That's good to hear, because I'd have a lot more to say if you were."

Rory: "What's this all about? I thought you said you liked Logan."

Lorelai: "I don't know Logan."

Rory: "Okay, you don't know Logan….well you can get to know him."

Lorelai: "Hun, I just want you to think about what you're doing. This is a big deal, huge, gigantic."

Rory: "I get it; it's a big, huge, gigantic, gargantuan deal."

Lorelai: "Gargantuan, ooh I like that. Just don't go."

Rory looks at Lorelai, a little shocked.

Rory: "So now your telling me not to go?"

Lorelai: "I see what's going on Rory. You're trying to fit into his world, my parents world. Deep down, I know you don't want to fit into that world. There has been so much pressure on you from me, from them to do well…which is why I think you should take the summer just to kick back and relax."

Rory practically in tears

Rory: "Trying to fit into his world?"

Lorelai: "I didn't mean it like that."

Rory: "Just because you didn't belong there doesn't mean that I don't...I did belong there, for the past year I've experienced that world first hand for myself and I liked it. You look down on that world and you judge them, Grandpa, Grandma, Logan…you judge them so harshly and for the past few months you've been doing the same to me."

Lorelai: "Because for the past few months my daughter Rory disappeared and in her place came the Pod Rory who gets drunk, who has casual sex….you wanted to live in the world, well you have ….and it's come to the end of the line. You want to act like those spoilt selfish brats, then go ahead but you won't be doing it in this house."

Rory: "I didn't disappear, I just changed…"

Rory gets up and walks out of the living room and into her bedroom. Lorelai follows but Rory shuts the door. Lorelai stares at the door and sighs walking out of the house.

Luke's Diner

Lorelai is sat at the counter with a cup of coffee in her hands.

Lorelai: "I thought she was resenting me, for not giving her the life I could have. You know me, when I think someone is questioning my past decisions, I snap…I said a lot of things I regret Luke.."

Luke: "Okay first off, you've given her the best life you could have, and she knows that. She doesn't resent you, she's just taken the training wheels off and experiencing riding a bike for the first time by herself."

Lorelai: "You should be a shrink, I mean it. Your good at listening, you come up with funny analogies."

Luke: "All I'm saying is she needs a little independence. Like mother, like daughter."

Lorelai raises an eyebrow

Lorelai: "God I hope not, when I wanted my independence I got pregnant."

Gilmore House

Lorelai walks into the house, carrying a small bag. She walks over to Rory's room and knocks, opening the door.

Lorelai: "I come in peace and with…"

Lorelai looks in Rory's room which is empty. Most of her clothes are gone, Lorelai walks over to the bed and sits down and picks up the note.

'I'm sorry. This is something I need to do. I need to learn that when I fall, I need to pick myself up again. I don't want you to hate me. Love, Rory.'
