AN:Thank you all so much for the reviews! This is my VERY FIRST Gilmore girls fic (my third fanfic ever)and i am glad that you are all receving it so well. Reviews really do motivate authors so thanks for all your feedback and making me more excited to write this story. Thanks to: ALittleBitObsessivefor pointing out the Juliette error (you were the first one to catch it so thank you!) I'm glad you are getting the fact that they need to develop their relationship because i dont think Finn would risk his friendship with Logan for something meaningless. Glad you guys liked the title (for Just a little Waterlogged...) i really liked chapter 3 even though it was a little shorter in length, it was my fave so far. I'm glad you are getting that Rory is upset but not devestated. Enough AN's On with the story!


PDLD Chapter 4: Confronting The Blonde Dick At Yale

It was three days since Rory had moved in with Colin and Finn. When she awoke, she took in the surroundings of her bedroom which was arranged in a way that was so uniquely her. She smiled as she looked at the bookshelves that were bursting with her novels. She loved the new purple colour of the walls and the comfy chair she had managed to 'steal' from her mother. Her CD's were arranged in the two CD towers she had, The Clash, The Bangles, Björk, The Sex Pistols, PJ Harvey, The Cure, The Shins, XTC, Komeda and many other titles were visible to her. She hated Logan's CD collection; a bunch of 'the great composers.' Rory didn't have anything against Classical Music, in fact, she liked a lot of it. The point was that unlike Logan, Rory appreciated different kinds of great music and never stuck to one category. It was easy to see this by the diverse music collection Rory owned. It wasn't nearly as big and diverse as Lane's collection, but still not the average collection of music.

Rory remembered when she was getting ready to go to the Journalism Panel she was listening to Sonic Youth's 'Kool Thing' when Logan (not so subtly) complained it was too loud. It may have been a little loud, but the man that was complaining about this was the same man that blasted Beethoven when she was still in bed! The thing Rory finally realized about her relationship with Logan was that he had double standards and was trying to control her. Mitchum Huntzberger had started the process when he planted seeds of doubt in Rory's mind about her capabilities. He dashed her dreams of becoming a journalist and handed his son a potential trophy wife that he could shape and control into a suitable wife for the Huntzberger heir. Since then, Logan took over and began to dictate the events surrounding their entire relationship. He manipulated her into something she wasn't and soon she barely resembled her former self. He rid her of the influences of her mother/best friend and turned her into the society girl her mother tried so hard to prevent her from becoming. He may have loved her, but true love meant loving all of a person and not trying to perfect the parts that were not to your liking.

Rory was so incredibly grateful Jess showed up when he did and put her in her place. He was never one to hold back or sugar coat his opinions, and Rory was glad for his bluntness. Even though they parted on bad terms, she was relieved that Jess called her on all of the things wrong in her life. He was right about Logan, Yale and everything else.

Rory had yet to run into Logan (or as Jess rightfully called him 'The Blonde Dick at Yale.') She knew that they would inevitably meet, and due to her current living arrangement, she would bet that it would be sooner rather than later.

When Rory finally decided to get up, it was just after 10AM. Finn slept in most days until about Noon and Colin was gone a lot of the time because his father was training him to take over McRae Enterprises. When Rory went into the kitchen she started Esteban (The NEW coffeemaker, because Colin and Finn didn't own one!) She waited for it to finish making 'The Elixir of Life', and when it was done brewing, she sat content as she downed her coffee.

The new living arrangements for Rory were working out better then she expected. She was worried that Logan would show up ceremoniously on their doorstep if he found out she was staying with 'his' friends. Even though she dreaded meeting up with him, the longer she waited to see him, the more nervous she became.

After her afternoon class Rory decided to head to the coffee cart for a boost of energy and a much needed break. Hearing Professor Bell lecture was interesting but she did not appreciate the dirty looks he threw her way. After last years prank that Logan planned during Bell's lecture, he had been a little less then pleased having Rory Gilmore attending his class.

When she arrived at the coffee cart, she ordered a large black coffee, paid and was about to head back to her dorm that she shared with 2 of the 3 Limo Boys. On her way, she bumped into someone and was about to apologize to the stranger when she realized it wasn't a stranger, but the only Limo Boy she wasn't currently living with.

"Oh, Hey" She said nervously

"Ace" Logan said in a condescending tone

"How have you been?" She asked him

"Look Ace" Logan started, "We don't have to make with the formalities. I know you're living with Finn and Colin because you made up some sob story and they are letting you stay because they feel sorry for you. If I didn't know any better, I would actually believe the rumours that you're doing them favours in exchange for their status and social connections. Then again, if you could dump me for no reason maybe I don't know you as well as I thought. For all I know, the rumours are true and you really are the gold digging whore people are making you out to be."

Before Rory could come up with any kind of retort, Logan stalked off in the opposite direction leaving Rory Gilmore speechless.

When Rory arrived back at the dorm, she went straight to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of Gin. She wasn't usually a drinker, but Logan's harsh words were putting a lot of stress on her. She made herself a martini and sat down in the kitchen thinking about if people were actually talking about her living situation. Logically, she knew Logan was probably lying about the rumours, but it still made her upset seeing as how she didn't like random people knowing her personal business.

After finishing her drink, she decided to stop so she wouldn't have to deal with a hangover tomorrow. Rory didn't understand why he was having such an effect on her. Her mother was right, she needed to wallow.

She cleared the kitchen, put on her coat and was about to head out when Finn walked through the front door

"Evenin' Love, where are you off to?" Finn asked with curiosity

"Just to get some needed supplies" She said simply

"Supplies for what?"

"A wallow night"

"Wallow night?"

"My mom said that whenever something happens like a break up you need to spend a day grieving for the loss so that the emotions are dealt with properly and you don't kill yourself thinking about it later"

"Ah. What does this 'wallow night' entail?"

"Watching romantic movies followed by at least one comedy or mockable movie. However, both genres must star gorgeous Hollywood Hunks. There must also be copious amounts of junk food and a female companion must be in attendance to make sure I don't die from crying or yelling. They also have to stop me from calling or killing the Ex in question."

"Sounds like fun"

"Fun?" She asked incredulously

"Absolutely!"

"Finn it's not supposed to be fun."

"Who says?"

"The Queen of wallowing."

"And she would be?"

"The inventor of the wallow night"

"That doesn't explain who she is"

"She's the genius behind wallow night"

"And her name is…" Finn asked sceptically

"I have no idea okay! I just know it isn't supposed to be fun"

Finn laughed at her exasperated nature "Well how about I take the place of your 'female companion' and try to prove you wrong"

"Finn the whole point to having a female companion is so I have someone to cry with"

"Oh I assure you that if we watch chick flicks all night I will be bloody bawling in no time!"

"Finn" Rory said slightly irritated

"Fine how about I talk like this 'Oh my god I can't believe he did that to her. They were like meant to be!'" Finn exclaimed in a dramatic falsetto type voice that was hilarious because of his accent

Rory could not contain her laughter "Fine Finn, THAT was a little funny."

"So does this mean I get to wallow with you"

"Fine" Rory conceded

"Well aren't you going to ask me properly"

"Finn you just begged me to let you join me in 'wallow night' why would I ask you if you already stated you wanted to join"

"Because it's proper procedure. If one of me mates asks what I did tonight and I tell them I spent a night watching girly movies of my own accord, I will get crucified. However, if I say I was asked by you in your time of need, I'll look like a gentleman and the ladies will utterly adore me, even more then they already do!"

"Okay I'll do it your way"

Rory got down on one knee and took Finn's hand in hers. "Finn Darling, you are the finest male specimen I have ever acquainted myself with. I am honoured to spend time with you but I must ask you an important question. Will you wallow with me?"

Finn's straight face cracked and he was rolling with laughter

"I see that I am a bad influence on you love. That performance was bloody brilliant!"

Rory got off of the floor and dusted her pant leg. "Yes your dramatic nature is effecting me, but you still never answered me"

"It would be an honour to wallow with you"

"Good. Now before we start the night, we need supplies as I have already said. We also need to get proper wallow type movies. Since I know what movies to get, how about I run to the video store while you get the junk food."

"What should I get?"

"At least three bags chips, red vines, four pints of ice cream, chocolate anything, microwave popcorn, a bottle of whipped cream, gummy bears, mallomars, of course lots of coffee, and then when we get back we can order Chinese, some pizza and maybe Indian food"

"Alright love, lets go"

"Okay"

The two friends left the dorm room and they went their separate ways to get the things needed for wallow night.


AN2: That was chapter 4 so tell me what you think! First i apologize to all you Logan Lovers for making him seem like a jerk in this chapter but it was important 1) for wallow night and 2) to show that Logan is hurt that Rory dumped him and is now all buddy-buddy with his two best friends. Now with that said, there will be more Logan in future chapters (not a lot and there will be no triangle), and you just have to wait to see how he reacts towards the eventual relationship between Finn and Rory (which wont happen for a couple more chapters sorry!)

What to expect in Chapter 5 (sorry no title yet):

lots of Finn/Rory banter because it centers around 'wallow night.' BTW no other characters in this chapter, strictly FINN/RORY! the chapter contains a proposition (the non-dirty kind!) a giant disco ball, mention of the gilmore girls pact and the threat of glitter!

UPDATING POLICY: I promise to update at least ONCE A WEEK. i know that weekly updates are kinda sucky but it is better then waiting a month or two for a chapter. i write when i can and i have been super busy so that's my promise, weekly updates which isn't totally horrible. I am so glad you are all enjoying this story, because i am really enjoying writing it! Thank you again!
