Yacht – The Bedroom.
Rory is sprawled out across the bed, still wearing last night's clothes. Logan walks into the bedroom carrying a glass and a cup. He puts down the large glass of water on the bedside table next to two aspirins and sits down on the side of bed. He puts the cup of coffee underneath Rory's nose. Rory slowly jerks, her eyes opening. Logan sits back and put the cup of coffee on the bed side table.
Logan: "Thought that might wake you up."
Rory sits up slowly, looking around…confused.
Rory: "My head hurts."
Rory puts her hands to her head and slides back down into the bed.
Logan: "I know…"
Logan leans over picking up the two aspirins and hands them to Rory.
Rory sits up again.
Rory: "Aspirins? Don't you have any old school, secrets of the trade, hang over cures?"
Logan smirks.
Logan: "This is the 2nd best hang over cure, trust me. Tried and tested in Malaysia, Japan, Australia, France, England, and Austria…"
Rory: "In other words, don't doubt the man with experience."
Logan: "Exactly."
Rory takes the aspirins and swallows them on by one. She washes the down with the glass of water.
Logan: "Better?"
Rory: "No…"
Rory leans over to pick up the cup of coffee. Logan picks it up first and moves it away. She leans over to take it off of Logan, Logan stands up and walks over to coffee table next to the veranda and puts it down.
Rory: "Are you trying to torture me?"
Logan: "It's for you own good, Ace."
Rory: "I have a headache the size of Hawaii and you're depriving me of coffee…that's it we're breaking up."
Logan smirks and walks back over to the bed, sitting down.
Rory: "You could have brought the coffee back with you."
Logan: "Drink the water."
Rory: "Okay, I will drink the water…if I have a sip of coffee."
Logan: "No one drinks coffee for a hang over cure, it dehydrates the body. Colin is cooking his famous fry up breakfast, the best hang over cure. "
Rory gets up out of bed and walks over to the closet taking out a set of clothes, and then walk into the bathroom shutting the door. Logan lies down on the bed and looks up at the ceiling, waiting for Rory. Logan stands up and walks over to the sofa near to the veranda, picking up a "Just Married" sign and walks back over to the bed, sitting down. He puts the sign on the floor.
Rory: "Just out of curiosity, I didn't embarrass myself last night…did I?"
Logan looks at the floor smirking.
Logan: "How much do you remember about last night?"
Rory opens the door. She walks out fully clothed.
Rory: "I remember the beach and the margaritas…"
Logan looks over to her.
Logan: "Anything else?"
Rory: "Why, should I?"
Logan smirks, sitting up. Rory walks over to the bed, sitting down. She looks around.
Rory: "Um, the bar. I remember going to the bar and…Karaoke…Oh my god, did I sing?"
Rory turns and looks at Logan, her eyes fully widen.
Logan: "No, you didn't sing and you have me to thank for that…anything else?"
Rory looks at him curiously and shakes her head no. Logan smirks, picking up the sign from the floor. Rory looks at the sign and then to Logan…and then realises…
Rory: "The wedding chapel."
Logan: "Yes the wedding chapel."
Rory, horrified.
Rory: "We didn't…did we. Oh my, we did."
Rory stands up from the bed. She puts her hands to her head. She looks down at Logan.
Rory: "What are your parents gonna say? What are my parents going to say? Your parents don't like me…you're the heir to the thrown, you're the golden boy…the golden boy can't marry the…the, me. It's the Salaam Witch Trails all over again…instead of being called out as a witch, I'm gonna be called out as …well, I don't know what as, but I can guarantee it's not gonna be good…Oh my mom. I can't tell my mom…I can't breathe…"
Rory turns and looks over at Logan, who's smirking.
Rory: "What's so funny?"
Logan: "We didn't get married."
Rory: "We didn't?"
Logan: "No."
Rory: "But – I remember, the chapel…wanting to shock everyone. We didn't get married?"
Logan: "No…but thanks for the reaction."
Rory: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go all Crazy bag lady."
Logan: "its fine, Ace. I guess my proposal will just have to be moved back a couple of months." Logan says jokingly.
Rory: "That's some wicked deceitfulness on your part, Huntzberger. You just like to antagonise me!"
Logan: "Yes I do, but that wasn't the reason behind my wicked deceitfulness."
Rory: "What was then?"
Logan: "I just wanted to see how Juliet reacted this morning when she realised she was married to Finn."
Rory opens her mouth shocked. She covers it with her hand. Logan smirks.
Logan: "See Ace, you don't know how lucky you have it…you could have woken up with a hang over and married to Finn."
Rory: "At least your ego is in check!"
Rory says jokingly, getting up out of bed and walking out of the bedroom. Logan follows.
The Kitchen
Colin is standing at the stove, frying bacon. Rosemary is sat at the breakfast bar, drinking a glass of Orange Juice. Juliet is standing in the corner, on the phone. Rory walks into the kitchen followed by Logan.
Rory: "Morning."
Colin: "Afternoon…jeez, Gilmore I didn't know you had it in you, drinking till dawn, sleeping till noon. I think Logan has a run for his money for chief party goer."
Rory: "No, no, I'm not looking for any title."
Rory sits down at the breakfast bar next to Rosemary. Logan walks over to Colin, smelling the food. Logan leans down to pick a piece and Colin hits him with the spatula.
Rory: "Speaking of titles how is our newlywed?"
Rory looks over to Juliet and then back to Rosemary. Rosemary, smiles.
Rosemary: "All I'm saying is, better her than me."
Juliet: "I'm sorry Bridgette, I just really need to speak to Daddy…it's urgent."
Juliet pulls the phone away from her ear and walks over to the breakfast bar.
Rosemary: "Still haven't gotten through to him?"
Juliet: "No…"
Finn walks into the kitchen, half naked. He walks over to the breakfast bar and sits down.
Finn: "Good morning my lovelies."
Juliet looks at Finn and frowns. Finn smiles.
Finn: "Wifey."
Juliet: "No, no, no. I have my marriage goal, to marry Leonardo DiCaprio and Finn, you are no Leo!"
Finn: "No, your right…I am no Leo, I'm much better. I have an exotic accent…I'm cute and when the Titanic was sinking, I would have given you my seat on the lifeboat!"
Rosemary: "You wouldn't have gotten a seat on the lifeboat; it was women and children first."
Finn: "So? Fair trade, I give my wife my seat, she gives me hers!"
Rosemary: "She's not your wife Finn."
Finn: "I have the papers to prove it!"
Rosemary: "Ever heard of an annulment?"
Finn: "Rosemary I wish you would stop butting your nose in, this is between a husband and his wife."
Rosemary sighs. Juliet smirks, finding the humor.
Finn: "But you're right…Juliet, my darling. Unfortunately we cannot stay married…I haven't sewed my wild oats…"
Rosemary: "Eww!"
Juliet: "What are the grounds for an annulment?"
Colin: "Underage without the legal consent of at least one of your parents or guardian."
Rosemary: "They're not underage…at least legally, although they both act like infants."
Juliet: "Hey!"
Finn: "Do not insult the Wifey!"
Logan: "If either of the spouses did not have the ability to understand the nature of the marriage contract or the duties and responsibilities of the marriage contract. Although usually this particular ground of annulment applies to someone who has been mentally ill."
Rosemary: "That'll work, Finn is mentally ill."
Colin: "Not proven."
Rosemary: "Well they were both drunk, doesn't that count?"
Colin: "Are you kidding? How do you think lawyers in Vegas receive their income? Most people in Vegas who get married are drunk!"
Logan: "You could always do the whole Fraud thing; I hear that's popular with most celebrities now."
Finn: "Yes…she told me there would be lots of sex. There has been no sex."
Finn pouts.
Rory: "Well if that's the case, then wouldn't it the fact the both spouses were physically incapable of entering the marriage? In this case, if Juliet refuses to take any action to cure the inability…that in itself is grounds for an annulment."
Logan: "Although this inability must continue and exist at the time of the suit…in other words, Juliet do you think you can resist Finn's charms?"
Juliet looks at Finn, who looks up from the breakfast bar with a sheepish grin on his face. Juliet looks back to Logan.
Juliet: "I think I can manage it."
Logan: "Great that's settled…speak to your father's lawyers today and just let them handle it."
Finn: "Aw, so no more Wifey?"
Colin turns around and puts down a plate, filled with sausages, eggs, hash browns etc on the breakfast.
Colin: "No more Wifey, although we could always travel to Sweden next week and pick you up a new Wifey…I would say a Russian Wife, but you can mail order those and besides, usually they come with baggage…"
Logan: "Like the Russian Mafia."
Gilmore House
Lorelai walks into the house, taking off her coat. She sees Paris sat on the couch. Lorelai slowly walks over.
Lorelai: "Paris?"
Paris turns around and looks at Lorelai. Lorelai switches on a light.
Lorelai: "Phew, thought I'd have to go all James Bond, 007. Lucky escape for you though, cause my 007 impression is shocking!"
Lorelai laughs. Paris looks at her, somewhat dejected.
Lorelai: "Are you alright?"
Paris: "No…I'm stuck in Kansas with Dodo and the Tin man, while Rory is off swaning around on a luxury yacht and my boyfriend is off swaning around in stupid Paris, with those Moulin Rouge girls."
Lorelai: "Okay…one problem at a time."
Paris: "Doyle…he's in Paris…the most romantic city in the world…without me, his girlfriend! Rory just went and left, to swan around with her boyfriend…why can't I do the same? "
Lorelai: "Then go to Paris…"
Paris: "What?"
Lorelai: "Go to Paris…go be with Doyle."
Paris: "Are you saying that just to get rid of me?"
Lorelai: "No, well kind of…Kidding. I'm just saying, you and Rory have been working non-stop, whether it was at Chilton or Yale. Maybe you just need to let your hair down and relax, take a break from the academics, from the worrying about life…and just simply be…"
Paris: "Your right."
Paris stands up.
Paris: "I should go to Paris and make him see that I am not a girl that can be ignored. He can't just swan off to Paris and forget about Paris, that's just not logical."
Lorelai: "Okay – sure you can do that…or you can just simply hang out with him."
Paris: "I can't go -"
Lorelai: "Why not?"
Paris: "Because you'd be by yourself!"
Lorelai: "I'm sure, I'll manage!"
Paris: "Are you sure?"
Lorelai: "Moulin Rouge…isn't that the movie where Nicole Kidman plays a courtesan? What is a courtesan?"
Paris: "It's just a way to make the word Prostitute sound more graceful...oh you're good Lorelai…trying to trick me into thinking about the hoes of France instead of thinking about you being alone…"
Lorelai: "I have Luke, the fiancé. I'm sure, I'll cope."
Paris: "Right, I forgot…Luke, the Diner man. Okay. I'm going."
Lorelai: "You go girl."
Paris stands up from the couch and walks out of the living room into Rory's bedroom. Lorelai sits down on the couch and sighs out of relief.
The Yacht – Days Later
The gang emerge from the yacht, bags packed. Finn and Colin walk over to the black limousine. Juliet and Rosemary walk over the a silver SUV.
Finn: "Well goodbye my Ex Wifey…it was a romantic union, while it lasted."
Rosemary: "Colin, keep Finn on a short leash in France."
Rory walks over to a black car waiting for her, she puts her things down and a chauffer takes the bags and puts them into the back.
Rory: "Thank you…"
The chauffer nods and opens the car door.
Logan: "I got it."
Logan walks over to the car door and holds it open. The Chauffer gets into the car. Rory steps forward, the two of them being separated by the car door.
Rory: "Well don't forget to bring me back a souvenir…British Toffee would go down a treat."
Logan: "I'll try and remember, Ace."
Rory: "I can't believe I'm not going to see you for the rest of the summer…it feels weird."
Logan: "I told you to come…"
Rory: "I think I've done all my crazy drinking for the summer…"
Logan leans in and kisses Rory. They linger with the kiss, longer than usual.
Logan takes a step back.
Logan: "Have a good summer, Ace."
Rory: "That's what you write on a random person's yearbook."
Logan: "Well then…have a great summer!"
Logan says, smirking.
Rory: "Don't forgot, British Toffee…bye."
Rory steps into the car. Logan looks down and shuts the door. He walks over to the black limousine.
Gilmore Residence
The smart black car pulls up outside the Gilmore Residence. Rory takes a step out of the car and looks up at the house. Emily walks out of the house and greets Rory with a hug.
Emily: "Rory!"
Rory: "Hey grandma."
Emily pulls back from the hug and motions to the chauffer to take Rory's bags inside.
Emily: "You're home early…I wasn't expecting you for a couple of hours. How was Hawaii?"
Rory smiles and follows her grandmother into the house.
Rory: "It was eventful…to say the least."
Emily walks through the house, into the back yard and over to the pool house. Rory follows. She stops as she enters the pool house, seeing all of her things in there.
Emily: "I had all of your things moved in here…I wanted you to have your bedroom in the main house, but your grandfather seemed to think you might want a little more independence…so he said the pool house. This way, you have your own kitchen and bathroom and the freedom to move around as you wish."
Rory walks over to the couch, seeing her blanket on it. She picks it up and looks around.
Rory: "It's great." Says, dejectedly.
Emily: "Are you sure? You don't seem sure!"
Rory: "No really, I'm just tired…but wow. It's great thank you, so much!"
Emily: "Your welcome…well I have Julie make you a little dinner, no doubt your hungry."
Rory: "Actually, I just want to sleep."
Emily: "Alright then…I'll have her leave it in the fridge for when you feel like it. "
Rory: "Thanks Grandma."
Emily turns and walks out of the pool house. Rory looks around the pool house. She walks over to the couch and sits down, pulling out her cell phone. She dials Lane's number.
Lane: "Hello?"
Rory: "Lane!"
Lane: "Oh my god – Rory!"
Rory: "What are you doing right now?"
Lane: "I've just finished a gig in Hertford."
Rory: "Really?"
Lane: "Really! Are you home?"
Rory: "Not really…I'm at my grandparents. If your not busy, come by!"
Lane: "Okay…I'll be there just after we pack up the equipment."
Rory hangs up and smiles. She walks over to the kitchen part of the pool house and opens the refrigerator, revealing sodas, candy and chips. Rory walks out of the pool house and into the main house, waiting for Lane…
Lane arrives and follows Rory…They walk into the pool house. Lane looks around, her eyes widening. Lane walks over to the kitchen and then over to the sofa.
Lane: "Oh my god – you weren't kidding. This is great…this is better than great, what's better than great…this is!"
Rory: "I know – want a soda?"
Lane walks over to Rory and sees the cans of Soda.
Lane: "You got your fridge stocked? That's so cool. It's almost like my apartment, except…bigger, cleaner and stocked with food."
Rory and Lane both laugh. They take a can of soda each and walk over to the soda, catching up.
Later
Rory and Lane are laying on the couch.
Rory: "So Juliet phoned her father's lawyers and they were able to pull a few strings and got the marriage annulled…"
Lane: "That's crazy…like Marilyn Manson in a Britney Spears music video crazy…and I can't believe you almost got married."
Rory: "I know…I am swearing off drinking."
Lane: "Yes, drinking is bad."
Rory: "Really bad."
Lane: "It should be outlawed because of the stupid things we do or nearly do while intoxicated."
Rory: "Like get married."
Lane: "Exactly. Wow. Speaking of marriages…have you talked to your mom?"
Rory: "Not exactly…she called me four or five days ago to announce that she and Luke had gotten engaged. She only called because she didn't want me finding out from someone else first."
Lane: "Wow – that sucks. I'm sure she meant to call sooner, but probably couldn't contain herself, hence the little outburst."
Rory: "She had an outburst?"
Lane: "Yeah, that's how everyone found out…and then the morning after the outburst, Luke's place was packed with people asking questions."
Rory: "Oh."
Lane: "Yeah – so when are you coming home?"
Rory: "I don't know-"
Lane: "Oh …but you like need to get your car and everything right?"
Rory: "My car…I need my car, I have to run errands in the morning…"
Lane: "Well, when Zach comes around to pick me up and you can catch a ride with us if you like?"
Rory: "Are you sure?"
Lane: "Yeah, of course, if you can stomach Zach's driving."
Rory: "I'm sure he's not that bad!"
Lane: "A drunken monkey on dope could drive better…not to scare you or anything."
Rory raises and eyebrow and the both burst out laughing.
Stars Hollow
The van pulls up outside of The Gilmore House. Rory steps out of the van and thanks them for the lift. Lane waves bye as the van drives off. Rory walks up to the house and goes to open the door but pauses. She knocks on the door, but no answer. She opens the door and walks into the empty house. Sighing, she walks around the house and then back to the front door, grabbing her car keys.
She gets into the car and reverses out of the driveway. She slows down outside of Luke's Diner. She pulls over and gets out of the car. Walking over to the diner, she looks through the door seeing Luke cleaning. She pauses opening the door.
Luke: "We're closed."
The door shuts, Luke doesn't look up but hears footsteps.
Luke: "Are you def buddy, I said-"
He pauses looking at Rory.
Luke: "Rory…"
Rory does a small little wave.
Luke: "When did you get back?"
Rory: "Earlier…I just thought I would drop in."
Luke: "Your mother's not here."
Rory: "I know, I just-"
Luke: "Do you want a cup of coffee?"
Rory: "Sure, that'd be great!"
Luke turns around and puts on the coffee. Rory walks over and sits on a stool. Luke pours her a cup of coffee and places it down on the top. She takes a sip.
Luke: "So – how was Hawaii?"
Rory: "It was good"
Luke: "Good, that's good."
Rory: "Oh, congratulations by the way."
Rory smiles, Luke looks a little uncomfortable.
Luke: "Yeah – about that, your mother really did wanna tell you first…but you know the town and Taylor."
Rory nods she looks up to the clock.
Rory: "Oh, I've gotta go. I promised I wouldn't be too late getting back to my Grandma's."
Luke nods.
Rory drinks another sip of the coffee and then stands up, walking towards the door. Luke looks around. Rory turns back around and walks over to Luke, she hugs him. Luke raises his hands and then rests them on Rory's back, hugging her.
Rory: "I really am happy for you Luke."
Luke: "I know."
Rory pulls back, still smiling. Luke looks down at her.
Luke: "Your mom will be here soon…if you just wait."
Rory: "I can't…I really should go. Thanks for the coffee."
Rory turns around and walks out of the diner. Luke watches her go and sighs walking over to the window, watching her drive off. Moments later, Lorelai walks into the diner. Luke takes a step away from the window and looks at Lorelai.
Lorelai: "Hey, peeping Tom."
Luke: "Rory's home…"
Lorelai: "What?"
Luke: "She was just here."
Lorelai: "What did she say?"
Luke: "She said congratulations…and I gave her a cup of coffee…and then she said she had to go, but then she hugged me and told me she was really happy…and then she went."
Lorelai: "Thanks for the step by step."
Luke: "You're not gonna go after her?"
Lorelai: "Nope…I'm giving her what she wants, a chance to be by herself…"
Luke raises an eyebrow confused.
Lorelai: "So are you nearly ready, cause boy I am beat…listening to Paris yammer on in the car for forty minutes, I deserve a medal of honour for bravery!"
A/N:
I hoped you liked the chapter, I didn't want it to go too OOC hence the
non-marriage for Rory and Logan. Anyways, I'm trying to catch up with
this season (hence the staying in the pool house etc) Am thinking of
skipping the summer so there can be more interaction with the
characters i.e Paris and Rory, Rory and Logan, and the Gang etc.
