AN:100 reviews! YAY thank you to my faithful reviewers! So this chapter was fun to write but I dont know if it's up to your guys' expectations. I hope you like it though. Please review after this.
Logan was still staring at where Rory and Tristan were walkingto when Andrea decided she wanted to actually shop at the mall. "Logie Bear? I want to go to Jimmy Choos right now."
When Logan heard Andrea speaking to him he immediately got out of his trance and noticed that Finn, Colin and their dates had left. "Uh, sure." They started to walk towards Jimmy Choos not knowing that Tristan, Rory and Stephanie were already there.
"Mare for the tenth time it looks good!" Tristan had been trying to convince Rory to buy the boots she had first seen. Rory insisted that it was too tall and that she might trip.
"But Tris look at it. It has four-inch heels! I'll trip even before I get coffee and that means that I would be apart from my coffee longer than I would want to be. Meaning that I would need a larger coffee but I can't do that because I don't have enough money to pay for it. But then I have my card that I could use but I won't since I don't think the coffee cart takes cards. I'll die coffee deprived because of these shoes! I can't get them. Nope!" Rory took off the boots and put them aside and pouted, "they looked gorgeous though."
"God Rory! Just get the boots already. You would look drop dead gorgeous in them and Logan will be drooling. And Rory," Stephanie waited until Rory looked her in the eye, "you will be able to get your coffee, so don't worry."
"Right. Of course, sure I'll get it." Rory put the boots in its box while looking at it still debating whether or not she should get it.
"Mary, stop with the pro/con list. You'll look good in them."
Rory kept her eyes on the boots and responded, "do not mock the pro/con list."
Stephanie looked at Rory and Tristan. Sure they'd look cute together and if they got together they'd be one hot couple but Stephanie knew that there was only one other guy that would look hot with Rory. Together they would be Hartford's cutest and richest couple. Their children would look like they belonged on top of a Christmas tree. Logan and Rory. Rory and Logan. That sounds cute doesn't it? That was why Stephanie remembered that Rory hadn't promised Logan a date just like she had been instructed to do. "So Ror, did you promise the date you owe Huntz tomorrow?"
"What date with Logan?" Tristan asked completely curious. He and Logan were good friends but they hadn't kept in touch as much as Rory and Tristan did.
"A date with me? What are you guys talking about?" Logan had entered Jimmy Choos with Andrea and soon found Tristan, Rory and Stephanie talking about a pro/con list. Then suddenly Stephanie asked about a date tomorrow and it included him.
Rory looked up to see Logan with his arm around Andrea who had just kissed him in the neck. "Logie, they're talking about me silly. I'm your date and you're coming home with me tonight." Andrea announced seductively.
Logan looked at Rory to see how she would react but just saw her glaring at Stephanie. After a moment of silence Stephanie said, "I thought you were going to the festival with him tomorrow."
"I can't."
"And why is that?" Stephanie asked completely ignoring the fact that Logan was standing there with a girl who was all over him.
"I can't, because uh my date is Tristan." Tristan looked at her oddly at the mention of his name. "I can't bring two dates. That's just what the whole town will remember about the festival. They won't remember Logan having to profess his love to Taylor." Rory finished her last sentence with a smirk towards Logan to which Logan simply ignored.
"Taylor? As in the guy that Bag Boy worked for? That Taylor?" Tristan looked at Logan then at Rory with a smug smile appearing on his face.
"Logie, I'm gonna go look for some cute heels. I'll be back." Andrea declared as she started to walk towards the stilettos. Logan simply nodded his head and looked at Rory.
"I'm hurt Ace. As your boyfriend shouldn't I be the one to take you to the festival tomorrow?" Logan walked to Rory and stopped right in front of her invading her personal space.
"I'm sorry. Did I just hear you say boyfriend?" Tristan stared at Rory with mouth hanging open. "Mary, Mary, Mary, how could you not tell me this? Wait. You're on a date with a girl who's practically asking you to jump her right now but you're her boyfriend? And I'm Mary's date tomorrow to some festival but she's your girlfriend? Care to explain?"
"I'm not his girlfriend." Rory took a step back from Logan and almost fell but Steph caught her. "Thanks" she mumbled.
"Didn't want to let your boy toys see you fall down like that."
"They're not my boy toys." Rory whispered then turned to Tristan who was looking very confused at the moment. "Tris, he is not my boyfriend, you are my date tomorrow, Logan is on a date with Andrea who is basically throwing herself at him, and Logan will profess his love to Taylor tomorrow because he lost a bet." Tristan nodded his head but was still confused so he let the conversation drop. "Come on Steph, Tris. Let's go pay for this and get out of here. My mom probably wants to see what I got. Logan I suggest you get back to your date."
"Not without my kiss goodbye Ace."
"Oh right," Rory said agreeing. She then blew him a kiss from where she stood and turned around, "I'll be expecting a good show from you tomorrow Logan!"
Logan watched in amazement how Rory Gilmore responded. When he saw her nod he thought he was getting a kiss similar from the one before but instead Logan received a blow kiss. "Okay Logie, I don't like anything from here. Can we go now?"
"Sure. But please refrain from ever calling me Logie again." They walked out of the store and Logan pulled out his cell phone, "Hey Dad? I need your help with something…"
Tristan had drove offin the other direction once they got outside of the mall. Stephanie drove Rory home as they listened to music and talked about what they hoped Logan would do for the festival. The topic of Logan and Rory's relationship wasn't discussed though. When they finally reached Stars Hollow they saw Taylor instructing several workers walking around the town square. Signs were seen on top of every street lamp saying "Stars Hollow Annual Chocolate and Wine Tasting Festival."
"Chocolate and Alcohol Tasting?" Stephanie as she looked at the signs and the tents setting up, "and you're letting Finn come to this?"
"Finn's coming?"
"We all want to see what Logan does but Robert and Seth won't be able to make it."
" Oh okay. The more the merrier." Rory looked out the window to see that they were already in front of the house, "Well this is my stop. Thanks Steph, I'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow!" Stephanie shouted as Rory got all of her bags out of the car and entered the house.
"Mom!"
"Kitchen!" Lorelai shouted as she retrieved the tater tots from the oven. " I have dinner!"
Rory followed the perky voice and found her mother putting tater tots on the table in front of Christopher. "Hey Mom. Hey Dad."
"So, how was shopping?" Lorelai asked with a smile that simply said 'didja get me something?'
Rory saw her mom's smile and shook her head, "I have your shirt, but it isn't blue."
"It's not blue when I specifically instructed you, my favorite daughter, that I wanted something blue, sexy and will make my parents crazy?" Lorelai exclaimed all in one breath. Rory reached down into the Abercrombie and Fitch bag that held her mother's shirt and pulled it out. She didn't show the writing first so Lorelai furrowed her nose, "it's red."
"But you haven't seen what will make grandma and grandpa crazy." Rory reasoned to her mother.
"Let's see it then." Rory turned the shirt around and Lorelai jumped and shouted. "I love it!"
"Lorelai, your mom is going to faint." Chris said nodding his head at the shirt.
They ate dinner in front of the TV and soon went to bed. "We need to get ready for our chocolate and alcohol tasting extravaganza tomorrow." Lorelai declared as she stood up to get to bed.
"Night Mom. Night Dad." Rory decided that they shouldn't get into any of the heir and heiress talks until both her mom and dad knew about what her grandparents her planning. Her dad seemed really calm about it and he hadn't brought up the topic yet. Monday, they'll talk about it on Monday.
"Night sweets."
"Sleep tight Ror."
Sunday afternoon came quickly. After having breakfast at Luke's, Christopher, Lorelai and Rory went back to the house and got ready for their chocolate and alcohol tasting event. Around 2 in the afternoon they heard a knock at the door. Rory stood up yelling, "coming!" she opened the door to see Stephanie. "Hey Steph."
"Hey Rory. I thought that I should come here first because I didn't want to go alone to the festival."
"I thought Colin and Finn were coming?" Rory moved to close the door as Stephanie came in.
"They are but they decided to go with Logan so I came by myself."
"Oh okay, that's fine."
Lorelai and Chris came to see who was at the door and found Stephanie explaining how she had come alone. "Hey girlie." Lorelai greeted.
"Hi Lorelai, Chris."
Then another knock came and Lorelai smiled, "Wow, we're popular today aren't we? I think it's all because of my good looks. Everyone has come to see it."
Rory shook her head at her mother's antics and answered the door to a casually dressed Tristan and hugged him. "Hey Tris."
"Ohmygosh! It's Bible Boy! Rory you didn't tell me Bible Boy was coming!" Lorelai screamed as she grabbed Tristan and hugged him. Lorelai had known Tristan ever since he was a little boy. She used to baby-sit him then when he had met Rory at Chilton she was surprised at how he pined for Rory. Well, not that surprised since Rory was gorgeous because her mother was breathtakingly beautiful. He seemed to be on Rory's bad side the whole time in Chilton but once he had been sent away Rory and Tristan would talk all night.
"Oh. Mom, Tristan is coming." Rory replied which caused Lorelai to stick her tongue out at her daughter. Rory responded in the same manner and Stephanie laughed at the mother and daughter.
Chris noticed that another blonde boy who had a striking resemblance to the Dugreys had come through the door. He cleared his throat to signify that he was there and everyone turned their attention to him.
"Dad, this is Tristan, Tristan this is my Dad, Christopher." Rory introduced with a smile.
"Nice to meet you. Are you a Dugrey by any chance?" Christopher had helped Lorelai baby-sit the Dugrey's only son once.
"Uh, yea. I am. Nice to meet you too." Tristan answered.
"Oh, yea. I helped baby-sit you once." Christopher said connecting the information he had just gotten together.
"So we should get going! So much chocolate and alcohol to try out!" Rory exclaimed as she opened the door.
"We'll all be drunk by the end of the night! Let's party!" Lorelai yelled.
"Rory, please do not get as drunk as your mother will be tonight." Christopher pleaded to his daughter.
"I'm not planning on drinking much today. I'll just try the chocolates of the world maybe have a cup of alcohol or two." Rory told her father and linked her arms with Tristan's, "come on Bible Boy! Let's go get our chocolates! I want to try some Swiss chocolate."
They walked, not ran, as fast as they could to the town square and found it packed with alcohol, chocolate and people standing in front of Taylor who was on the stage welcoming everyone with a set of rules. "Welcome everyone to the Stars Hollow Annual Chocolate and Wine Tasting Festival. I will not go into the details of when we started this tradition right now. That will come later on. There are a few rules that we need to discuss with you fellow tasters. The first is to enjoy yourselves and we trust that you will. Two: Please consume only the amount of alcohol and chocolate that you can hold without the need of going to a hospital after. In other words please do not drink ten shots of tequila if your body can only take in four shots. Three: If you already picked up a piece of chocolate do not put it back. We do not want people to get sick from whatever germs your fingers might have. Four: Clean after yourselves and behave properly, especially you Lorelai. Enjoy!"
Taylor fumbled with the microphone trying to turn it off, "how in the world are you supposed to turn this thing off? You think that they'd put some switch some…" He smiled happily knowing that he had successfully turned off the microphone and walked off the stage to try out some alcohol.
Lorelai put her hand over her heart after hearing Taylor acknowledge her. "And I am supposed to enjoy myself after hearing that?"
"Come on Lorelai." Christopher dragged Lorelai off to a tent holding martinis and started to drink.
"I want chocolate! Let's get chocolate!" Rory shouted as she pulled Tristan and Stephanie along.
A half hour, two cups of martini, one shot of tequila, four dark chocolate clusters, three white chocolate with almonds, and four pieces of milk chocolates later Rory saw Taylor in front of the microphone. "Taylor wants to say something Steph, Tris, let's go see what he wants to say. Hey, where the heck is Logan? He's supposed to do his little bit."
Rory, Tristan and Stephanie walked through the crowd over to Lorelai and Christopher and Taylor spoke. "I am sure that you have taken advantage of the chocolate and the alcohol that were provided for you. Now, as I told earlier I would reminisce about how we started this tradition. Eight years ago in our little town of Stars Hollow, a group of men came up to me and asked if I'd like to host a chocolate tasting party in Dooses Market. I responded by saying that it would be too small so I told them that we could hold a festival in their honor. We realized that there were no drinks to serve, then another group came by the next day asking us if we could host an alcohol tasting event. We decided that we should hold the two events together. The first year that we -" he was soon interrupted by Finn.
"Oy mate! I found your lover! I mean Taylor Jeffrey Doose." Finn shouted to someone who wasn't in view.
"Taylor's middle name is Jeffrey?" Lorelai snickered while focusing on Finn. Rory ignored her mother's comment and waited for Finn to continue.
"Excuse me but I am making a speech here." Taylor tried to reason to Finn but another boy came up to him.
"You found him buddy?" Colin asked. "My friend is crazy about you." Colin assured Taylor. Taylor was about to say another thing but Logan came.
"Oh my God! You found him." Logan thanked Colin and Finn and walked towards Taylor. Taylor looked at him with an irritated face.
"Young man! This is a Stars Hollow violation of code 344, paragraph 3, line 6. 'You cannot interrupt a speech that is given by town selectman.'"
"Hush Taylor! There's no such law. I want to see what this young man has to say. Don't you dare interrupt him Taylor Jeffrey Doose!" Ms. Patty urged using Taylor's full name.
Logan looked at her and nodded his head as if to say thank you. He looked back into Taylor's eyes and started. "From the moment I set foot on this town I knew that something different would change my life forever. I thought it would be the fact that I just stepped into such a small town. I never knew that it was where I would find my true love. When Rory welcomed me to her home we had to buy things for a movie night. I didn't know that we would soon be going to a place where I would meet the future father of my children. Do you know where we went?" Logan didn't wait for an answer but continued. "We went to Dooses Market. That was where I saw the man that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Taylor Doose, I Logan Huntzberger love you with all my heart and I want everyone in the whole world to know about it."
Taylor stared at him and opened his mouth to say something but Logan continued, "Taylor! I love you!" he shouted to the sky. He then took a step closer to Taylor and said, "I want you to be my husband. We will have children! I'll make sure of that. I'll have a sex change if you want me to. Or you can have the sex change. I will go through anything for you Tay! I love you with all my heart and soul!" Logan then hugged Taylor and began to 'sob.'
"Young man, uh…" Taylor was unable to finish his sentence because an olderman that looked just like the boy who was hugging him came up. Logan let go and stood next to Taylor linking his arms with Taylor's.
"How dare you!" Mitchum boomed at Taylor. "My son is only 19 years old and here you are around 50 years old in such a relationship with Logan! That is not suitable in the Huntzberger family!"
"Sir. I can explain." Taylor started.
"Dad! Don't do this! I love Taylor! It was literally love at first sight! Don't hurt him!" Logan yelled at his father not letting go of Taylor.
"Logan! When you came home Saturday afternoon from spending the night here, all you could talk about was Taylor this, Taylor that. I thought it would have been a girl! Logan look at him! He is a man for one and secondly he is more than 30 or 40 years older than you!"
"But I love him! I'm willing to have a sex change for him!"
"Oh God, Logan did you sleep with this man? You slept here Friday night. You slept with him!"
"I couldn't dad! I wish I did but I was spending the night at Rory's! I would have but I didn't know where he lived!"
"This is uncalled for Logan! How would this look in the papers!"
"You own the papers dad! You can easily tell them not to print anything!"
"You were supposed to manage the business with me Logan! Not run off with another man!"
"No Dad! I'm running off with Taylor and we are going to elope! You have no say in this whatsoever! We will have children! One boy and one girl! I love him!" Logan screamed in his father's face.
Mitchum glared at his son and threatened, "Logan if you do not let go of this man and come home with me this instant, so help me God, I will tell your mother about this."
At this Logan paled and dropped Taylor's hand. Logan then fell onto his knees and began to 'sob' uncontrollably. He stood up after a minute passed by and looked at Taylor in the eyes and said, "Tay, I know I've said it a hundred of times, I love you. Please don't ever forget me because I will never forget you. You are my one true love. I'll never be able to replace you." He turned to his father and saw that Colin and Finn were standing on the side waiting for him with handkerchiefs.
Finn came up to him and said, "You'll be okay Logan. Here." He said as he gave him a handkerchief. Colin repeated the same gesture. Logan, Finn, Colin and Mitchum all left the stage to a very confused and speechless Taylor.
Everyone in the audience was whispering talking about what had just happened. They were trying to figure out whether or not it was a joke when suddenly Logan, Colin, Finn and Mitchum came back on stage and took their bows. Everyone laughed and clapped their hands, all excluding Taylor who was glaring at the four.
The four left the stage and was greeted by Rory, Stephanie, Lorelai, Chris, and Tristan. Rory couldn't stop laughing and ran to Logan to hug him. "You were great out there! Absolutely hilarious! The whole town bought it! Even the sex change part! You looked liked you really did want to marry him or something and Taylor! Taylor was just staring at you guys shout at each other." Rory laughed hysterically and held onto Logan for support.
"Mate, when you told me that you were going to go through with this, I didn't know you'd take it as far as a sex change. Would you change into a female redhead for me?" Finn asked teasingly in a seductive voice.
"Or me?" Colin piped in.
"Logan, I thought I'd never see the day that you'd fall for someone. Then I find out it's a guy!" Stephanie commented with a laugh.
"Huntzberger, I see you've changed these past couple of years." Tristan said with a smirk.
"I must say son, you did a good job." Mitchum said as he congratulated Logan. "You must be Rory, the girl who made my boy do this. I met you Friday night, correct?" He said acknowledging her.
"Yes, we've been introduced. It was nice seeing you again Mr. Huntzberger. You put on a good show with Logan." Rory stood up straighter, let go of Logan and shook Mitchum's hand with a smile.
"Thank you and please call me Mitchum." Mitchum replied with a nod in agreement.
"Wow! You should have seen Taylor's face when you said that you would have slept with him! It was hilarious!" Lorelai exclaimed next to a laughing Christopher.
Then Taylor came down from the stage after closing off his speech about the festival tradition. He gave Logan a glare and said, "young man. You are banned from ever coming within a 20 feet radius around me." Taylor walked away towards the tents with a huff and was soon greeted by Ms. Patty and Babette who winked at Logan once they caught his attention.
