A/N – this chapter will be strictly the party and Rory's return prank...if it works... There won't be any outfits for this chapter because I put the dresses up when I mentioned them last chapter but visit my profile if you want to see them. Thanks to everyone who reviewed.
You Started It
"How do you want your hair done?" The hairdresser asked taking Rory's hair out of her ponytail.
"I don't know..." Rory said.
"Tiff just straighten it and put loose waves. Then put it in a side ponytail, simple but very appropriate for the era." Steph told her.
"Okay." Tiff nodded.
"And you?" The other hairdresser asked Steph.
"I'll have it just straightened because I have a head band I have to put in." Steph requested.
"Do you want it trimmed?" The girl asked.
"Yes please." Steph said and they both waited for the ladies to finish, Steph was done first and she went to read a magazine while Rory finished.
"Oh it's so gorgeous." Rory said looking in the mirror.
"Your pedicure will be just down there." The hairdresser pointed Rory in the right direction and then told Steph to follow Rory.
"What color do you want?" Steph asked Rory when they both sat down.
"Why are we getting pedicures...we have closed toe shoes." Rory pointed out.
"We'll both have French pedicures and manicures." Steph told the lady and they relaxed in the massage chairs, "It's part of a spa package," Steph explained.
"Oh." Rory nodded and then her cell phone went off.
"You are not supposed to have those in here." The pedicurist said.
"Sorry I'm just throwing this party tonight and I have to make sure everything is okay." Rory explained and she answered her phone, "Hello?"
"Rory they're trying to move THE table." Finn said quickly.
"No, they're not allowed." Rory shook her head.
"But they say it's in the way of the dance floor." Finn explained.
"How portable is the stunt stuff?" Rory asked closing her eyes.
"It could be moved in an hour." Finn speculated.
"Then move it so that everything still works and the table is out of the way of the dance floor." Rory sighed.
"Okay reporter girl." Finn said.
"Oh and Finn?" Rory asked.
"Ya?" Finn replied.
"Make sure it's done right...I want to live." Rory hung up her phone.
--
"Okay you look fab." Steph straightened one of Rory's sleeves.
"Thanks so do you." Rory told her, "The guys are coming to get us, right?"
"Yes Logan and Colin are coming to get us in...now." Steph and Rory laughed as there was a knock at the door.
"Hello beautiful ladies." Colin walked into the room.
"Stop hitting on my girlfriend Colin." Logan kissed Rory and grabbed her hand.
"Girlfriend?" Rory looked at him for conformation.
"Ya." Logan smiled slightly.
"I'm glad." Rory smiled.
"Me too." Logan agreed.
"Okay sap over let's go." Colin said and holding Steph's hand he led the way out of the room.
"This better be good, you have a reputation to uphold." Logan told Rory.
"It's excellent and the stunt is even better." Rory smirked at him.
"Who is doing it?" Logan asked.
"I can't tell you but let's just say you'll be more than shocked." Rory said and kissing him before he could respond she led the way down the stairs to the party room.
--
"This party is great." Someone said smiling as they walked past Rory.
"See, I told you it was excellent." Rory said grabbing Logan's hand.
"You know what's excellent?" Logan asked.
"What?" Rory tilted her head at him.
"You in that dress." Logan told her and he led her out to the dance floor and began to dance a slow song with her.
"You told me you wouldn't dance the Charleston while you were here tonight." Rory reminded.
"Does this look like the Charleston?" Logan pointed out and spun her around.
"Good point. But what if it comes on next?" Rory said giving a small nod to the band.
"Then we'll get off the dance floor." Logan said bringing her back into his arms.
"Or you could dance it with me." Rory gave him the puppy dog eyes as the song came on.
"Or I could not." Logan countered going to walk away.
"I could find a way to make sure you're not in the room for the stunt, and then you'd never know." Rory said gripping his hand tightly.
"You wouldn't." Logan said glaring at her.
"Oh I would." Rory smirked.
"Fine." Logan caved and they started to dance.
"You looked good out there." Steph smirked at Logan as they came off the dance floor.
"Leave." Logan told her pointing away.
"Be nice." Rory said patting his arm.
"Yes, down doggy." Steph mocked.
"You have had way too much to drink." Rory said putting a hand on Steph's arm.
"I have not!" Steph shook her head.
"Were you mixing your drinks?" Logan asked.
"No..." Steph's eyes went wide and she shook her head not doing a great job of convincing them.
"Hey Steph, want to dance?" Colin said coming over to them.
"That depends...can you dance as well as Rory's puppy?" Steph asked him but followed him anyway.
"She just called me a puppy." Logan said weirded out.
"She's drunk." Rory comforted.
"Okay." Logan nodded and they went to get themselves something to drink.
--
"Okay what on earth is the stunt?" Logan asked Finn and Colin as everyone started to group around this table.
"I don't know." Finn lied.
"But everything else you told me is going as planned right?" Logan asked.
"Yes, speaking of which where is your heavily inebriated girl?" Finn faked looking around.
"Good question." Logan said also looking around.
"Oh wait I think I see her!" Finn pointed up to the where Rory, Seth and Steph were standing looking out over the railing.
"Hey Colin!" Rory called down.
"Ya Gilmore?" Colin called looking up at her and smirking.
"It's not that far down is it?" Rory asked loudly.
"She wouldn't." Logan whispered.
"Oh she would." Colin contradicted as Rory stood up on the railing with Steph and Seth gripping the rope that was tied around her waist tightly.
"Rory what the hell are you doing?" Logan called.
"Jumping!" Rory replied and she closed her eyes tightly jumping down and landing on a table that was set up, "Yes!" Rory cheered and she took off the rope and Robert who was still upstairs pulled the rope up and out of the way.
"That was awesome!" Steph and Rory hugged.
"Definitely." Seth got off the table looking like he was going to puke.
"Okay are you ready to dance?" Steph asked and simultaneously Rory and herself kicked off their shoes and their song came on so they started to dance.
"What are they doing?" Logan asked as they started to dance.
"Having fun." Colin shrugged.
"But look at her!" Logan said as Rory twirled causing her dress to fly up.
"Ya she's hot." Finn agreed and he made his way towards the table.
"Finn's drunk again." Logan shrugged it off.
"Ya." Colin nodded in the direction of the table.
"Finn!" Logan yelled as Finn climbed up on the table getting down on one knee in front of Rory.
"Rory I love you...dump that loser and come to me! Rory!" Finn cried as Logan pulled him off the table.
"Finn you're drunk." Logan stated.
"I love her maybe it's the alcohol that's making me say it now but I do I love her!" Finn cried.
"And I love him." Rory said jumping down from the table.
"Rory..." Logan said.
"Just go Huntzberger." Finn shook his head slowly.
"You get away from her." Logan said angrily.
"Didn't you hear her she loves me." Finn told him.
"No!" Logan cried punching Finn in the stomach.
"Logan stop it!" Rory said quickly.
"I won't let him win this easily!" Logan said and he and Finn started to go at it.
"Guys stop it!" Rory cried the prank wasn't supposed to go that far, "Logan we didn't mean it! It was just my payback to you please stop it you're going to hurt him." Rory said tears in her eyes.
"No. I love you Rory!" Finn said stepping away from Logan, "It may have been just a prank to you but I love you." Finn said and Logan pushed him up against the wall holding his arm against his neck.
"No Logan it's you and me. It's always been you please, you're killing him." Rory said letting a few tears fall.
"No Rory he's in love with you I can't take that risk." Logan said.
"I'm with you, I give in you win the prank war, you weren't fooled by my last prank I get it just stop." Rory pulled on his arms.
"I win?" Logan asked smirking.
"No..." Rory's eyes went wide.
"Thank you, thank you." Finn and Logan bowed and the whole room started clapping and laughing.
"I can't believe you two!" Rory shook her head.
"I won." Logan said happily high fiving Finn and Colin.
"Yes you won, now take me home." Rory caved grabbing his hand.
"Fine." Logan smiled and he picked her up stopping to her Steph throw her shoes on her lap he carried her out to his car.
"Logan." Rory said putting a hand on his cheek as they stood outside her dorm.
"Ya Ace?" Logan asked putting his hands on her waist.
"I think I'm falling in love with you..." Rory told him.
"I'll be there to catch you." Logan promised kissing her.
A/N – That was totally cliché but you loved it, I'm sure. That's probably my favorite chapter and I had so much fun writing drunk Steph and the puppy scene. This one was a really fast one to write and it's around the same length as the first two...chapter three was really long. I hope you enjoy, please review.
