Wow, I wasn't going to update until the weekend, but I glance at fanfiction and my story is already #43. I had to update, so here it is! Btw, just to make this clear now, in case you didn't catch on, when I write 39103, it means a time lapse, but the more times I write it, the longer the time lapse, ex. 39103391033910339103 would be a week and 39103 would be anywhere from an hour to a day. AUTHORS NOTE: all places in Las Vegas are factual. The character of Rosemary does not have an appointed last name. I gave her the last name Abbott, because the actress who plays Rosemary is named Elisabeth Abbott. Warning, this is a filler chapter, but its long. Ok, read on.
Disclaimed: I haven't written one in a while so here it is. I own nothing. I am a poor hobo with no friends, I don't even own a computer. (jk). Im done. read.
Vacation and Part Two of Gilmore Sabotage
As the car pulled out of the driveway, Finn said "Stage Two of Gilmore Sabotage will need more work on my part, and none on yours. Let's start planning now, we only have a week"

"Ok, I think I have had just enough of these secret outings" Rory said from the vans middle seat
"Yeah, this blindfold thing is really getting old, and it feels itchy anyways" Rosemary complained from the front
"I don't mind mine" Stephanie said happily, from her spot on Colins lap in the back seat, "I got a good seat here" she felt around before she found, and reached into her purse and began to re-apply her lipstick
"Where are we going anyways?" Rory asked for the umpteenth time
"Never-Never Land luv" Finn said, jokingly
"Seriously, someone tell me!" Rory whined, "Logan, I can make it worth you while" She said suggestively. Logan smirked at her, whilst Finn looked horrified and glared at Rory even though she couldn't see him
"Sorry Ace, nothing doing" Logan said
"Drat" Rory pouted
"I can tell you that we are going away though. To get away from everything, your grandparents ect." Logan said
"We just went away. We were in Costa Rica for goodness sakes!" Rory exclaimed
"Yeah, but this is different. We are going away for two days, one night, uninterrupted. No one will have to think about anything else, not school, not anything" Logan explained
Rory thought this over, "I don't think going away will make us automatically forget our lives for two days"
"Just wait Ace, you'll see" Logan didn't say another word

"I said it before and I'll say it again, the blindfolds are lame" Rosemary said, holding onto Finn's arm for dear life, "Plus, its a fashion disaster, I mean, very few things match my hair color"
"And what gorgeous hair it is" Finn complimented Rosemary
"Blindfolds off?" Rory asked hopefully
"Not a chance" Colin told her
"I will inform you that we are in a hotel and that we checked in and are going to our rooms now" Finn said
"Well duh, I figured that much out. I heard you talking to the lady at the desk, I was there remember" Rory sounded slightly annoyed at being kept in the dark for so long
"Oh yeah" Finn realized, "Anyways, everybody, out of the elevator!" The boys led the girls out of the confined space, and bellboys grabbed the suitcases and followed them
"Right, Colin and Steph, this is your room," Finn handed the pair a set of keys, "Rory this is your room, and then this is my room, right next door. And look at that, Rory, our rooms have a joining door!" Finn faked amazement. Rory glared at him
"Where am I Finn?" Rosemary asked
"You my dear, have the luxury suite, next to mine, but you can visite whenever you please" He replied courteously
"Thanks" Rose pecked him on the cheek and the group began to shuffle into their rooms
"Meet back here in thirty, its already late, and its our only night" Finn told everyone
"Uh Finn" Logan began, but was cut off
"Get changed, unpack, look pretty, we have a party to rock" Finn said enthusiastically
"Finn" Logan said again, "Where's my room?"
"What? Didn't I call your name?" Finn asked innocently, "Let me check the keys... Oh, your right, here's yours, number 345"
"Finn, thats a floor below"
"So it is. I guess they were to full on this floor. Don't worry, we will be out late anyways, you won't be spending much time alone. Meet back in thirty" Finn thrust the key at Logan and slammed his door. Logan glared at the closed door, before sighing and turning to get back in the elevator

"Ready to par-tay?" Stephanie yelled, clearly excited
"Oh yeah! But would somebody please tell me where we are?" Rory said, "I tried calling the desk, but my phone mysteriously had no dial tone, and my cellphone had no service" Rory gave Finn a look, who shrugged his shoulders innocently
"At least the blindfolds are off" Stephanie pointed out
"Come on, we have to get the night started" Rosemary said, impatient and excited. The group went downstairs and outside
"Ok, now do you know where we are?" Colin asked
"Oh my god..." Rory breathed, "Is this..."
"Las Vegas!" the three girls shrieked simultaneously
"Happy?" Logan smiled at Rory's happiness. He put his arm around her shoulders. Finn flinched, but didn't say anything
"Oh yeah! Now where are we going?" Rory asked, smiling up at Logan
"What do you think people do in Las Vegas?"
"How should I know? I've never been here" Rory said
"You are gonna love it" Finn measured her
"So whats first?" Stephanie asked
"We planned everything. First, you three girls will go take a gaming class at the Las Vegas Hilton, while us guys set some things up. Don't worry, the class is only thirty minutes long" Finn reassured the girls disappointed looks
"After that, when you have learned how to play a few games, we hit the casino" Colin said
"And after that, a surprise" Logan said mysteriously
"What is it?" Rory asked
"Knowing defeats the surprise, now, doesn't it?" Logan told her
"Ok lets go, we'll drop you gals off first" Finn said. The group piled into the limo and drove off into the night

"14!" the announcer called
"I win!" Rory exclaimed, going over to claim her winnings
"Again!" Rosemary whined
"Ok, we've been here for hours, I'm getting tired, but I want to stick around for the surprise" Stephanie announced
"Yeah, it is kinda late, we should wrap things up" Colin yawned
"Alright ladies and gents, if you'll be so kind as to follow me" Finn said, leading them once again to the limo
"Sorry girls, back on with the blindfolds" Logan apologized, holding the pieces of cloth out for them. The girls grumbled, but complied. The limo started and stopped a few minutes later.
"Out, we're here" Finn said grabbing Rosemary by the hand
"Already? That was walking distance" Rory pointed out
"My dear, never pass up an opportunity to ride in a limo" Finn told her, walking towards the building that the girls could not see
"A little while longer" Colin told them. There was a slight jolt and then a electronic ding. Rory realized they were in an elevator again. They went up for what seemed a while. Finally Rory heard the doors slide open
"Come on" Logan led her out. He slowly undid her blindfold
Rory gasped, as did Rose and Steph, "Logan, this is breathtaking"
"Its the Stratosphere Tower to be exact" Logan informed her
"Let me tell you what we went through to get in here. Its suppose to close at one am, and it's way past that now. There were many dollars involved in convincing the manager to let us in. But hey, it's Las Vegas, the city where money is louder than words" Finn said
"You can see forever here" Rosemary breathed, not minding Finns arm that casually placed itself on her shoulder
"Look, the hotels, the strip, even Mount Charleston all covered with snow" Stephanie babbled
"You think thats impressive, the view isn't the only spectacular thing about this tower. Behind us, bar and restaurant. Above us, a colossal roller coaster, as well as a reverse bungee jump. Ever wanted to be shot 160 feet in the air at 45 miles per hour?" Colin asked
"Actually no" Stephanie said
"Oh well good, cause we've done it before on a Life and Death Brigade trip, and it wasn't pleasant, even for people who aren't afraid of heights" Logan laughed, "We just thought it would be romantic, and that you would like the view"
"Ok, I seriously am gonna fall asleep. I love this, and its really sweet, but can we go?" Stephanie asked Colin
"Yeah, lets head back" Rory said. The happy group filed back into the elevator, downstairs, and into the waiting limo
3910339103
"Knock knock" Logan said, leaning against the open door frame
"Oh, Logan, hey, what brings you here?" Rory smiled, closing her book and jumping up
"I was wondering if you could tell me where that brother of yours is, he wasn't in his room"
"What did he do this time?"
"Besides getting me a room on a separate floor? Lets see... there is no phone, the bed is a tiny one person cot, and there is a Catholic nun convention taking up all the rooms around mine. Thats about it"
Rory laughed, "Sorry, haven't seen him. Ask Colin. I'd invite you in, my with Finn on the prowl..."
"Yeah I know. I'll go ask Colin. I might stop by later" Logan kissed her and left
Logan knocked at Colin and Stephanie's door, "Who is it?" a voice called from within
"Logan, open up"
The door opened an inch, "Yes?" Colin asked
"Where's Finn?"
"He and Rosemary headed out a while ago, they said something about this cool new bar"
"Really? That means they won't be in for a while, and Finn will be in no state to check up on Rory" Logan thought out loud
"I got to go Huntz, have a goodnight" Colin closed the door. Logan wandered back to Rory's room
"You again? So soon?" Rory said, mockingly
"I couldn't stay away," Logan played along, "Finn's out drinking with Rose. Mind if I spend the night here? My cot is really uncomfortable, and the nuns keep telling me to repent"
Rory closed the door behind him, "And what would those dear nuns say if they knew where you are now?"
"Or about what I'm doing" Logan kissed Rory and the pair fell backwards onto the bed
39103391033910339103
"Home sweet home" Rory said sarcastically
"Hey, we haven't much to loose" Logan reminded her
"What are we waiting for?" Rosemary asked
"For some excuse not to be here" Finn said, whipping his brow
"Is it true? Finnegan Hayden is quaking at the knees, afraid to talk to his own grandparents?" Rory mocked
"It's not funny. Now, who's going to ring the bell?" Finn adjusted his tie nervously
"I will, I don't understand why everyone is so eager to stay outside" Rosemary reached over and rung the bell
"Well hello" Emily greeted them with her plastic smile
"Hey grandma" Rory hugged her grandmother
"Hello Rory, you look more beautiful each week. Hello Finn, Logan, and who is this?" Emily motioned to Rosemary
"This is Rosemary" Finn introduced
"Pleasure to meet you, now please, everybody, into the parlor, everyone is waiting" Emily spun about and walked away
"Uh Ace, why is she so happy? Didn't we try to make her angry last Friday?" Logan whispered
"I don't know whats got into her, let's go find out" Rory followed her grandmother
"Hey Rory" Lorelai greeted her daughter, "Finn, Logan, Rose"
"Hey kiddo, have fun in Las Vegas?" Chris asked his daughter, quietly
"How did you know where we were?" Rory asked, surprised
"Logan's quite the gentleman. He ran everything past me, got the parental permission thing. Is he a keeper? Cause I like him" Chris said
"Hello everyone" Richard said, entering late as always
"Hi grandpa" Rory kissed her grandfather on the cheek
"Hello Rory, Logan. Why Finn, are you taller than where I last saw you? You look older everyday. Your becoming a fine man. And, who is this?"
"This, this is Rosemary" Finn said carefully
"Oh, she's pretty. You two dating?" Richard asked
"Actually..." Finn searched for the right words
"We're married" Rosemary said. Everyone fell silent. Even Logan and Rory hadn't known this. Finn said he had a plan, but they didn't know that it involved the eternal bachelor finally hooking up for good.
"Oh" was all Richard said, after a moment
"Well thats wonderful, you seem like a wonderful girl. Whats your last name?" Emily quickly said
"Abbott, I'm Rosemary Abbott" Rosemary said proudly
"Oh Richard, she an Abbott. Thats even better than the Lindhome girl, call her parents and tell them there is a change of plans" Emily gushed
"Huh?" Rosemary was confused, but Logan and the Hayden's just smiled at one another
"On the topic of marriage" Emily said carefully, coming down from whatever cloud she had jumped to with the news of Finn's wife's last name, "I'm afraid I have some bad news and some good news" Logan and Rory glanced at each other
"Our marriage you mean?" Rory asked, motioning to herself and Logan
"Yes. I'm afraid that it is now non-existant. We, your grand-father and I, have decided that Logan isn't suitable for you" Emily said sadly
"Why not?" Rory asked innocently
"Well...," Emily quickly thought of an excuse, "His father is such a important person in the newspaper world, we just did want you to feel overshadowed dear" Rory and Logan gave each other a knowing, mission-accomplished look
"So instead, we found a replacement" Richard said. His words did not fall on deaf ears
"What?" Rory snapped her head around to look at him
Richard glanced down the hall "Ah, here he comes now. Rory, I would like you to meet your new future husband" Rory starred in shock at who she saw standing in the door way
Ok, I was going to tell you who the guy is, but then I had a wave of doubt. I'm going to spoil this cliff-hanger and ask your opinion. Which guy from Rory's past should it be? Tristan, Jess, Dean? All I can make possibilities, just tell me which one you hate most. Wait, bad question, I know that no one likes Dean. Anyways, just tell me who you want. Thanks for being such avid readers.Review!
