A/N: Just in case you haven't figured it out already, here's a quick guide to who's who.

Sarah- Uh, hullo. Rory.

Terrance- Tristan

Autumn- Summer (I think that was her name), Tristan's girlfriend

Leslie- A weird Lane/Paris hybrid

Sarah's mother- Lorelai

Sarah's father (not yet seen)- Luke

Sarah's grandparents (not yet seen)- a less high-society version of Rory's grandparents

Chapter Five - Wait A Minute, Your Heart's Not Broken!

It was with a heavy heart and sense of forboding that Rory made her way to Logan Huntzberger's room. It would have been rude, after all, to come all the way to Yale and not even visit him. Would he be emotional? Would he be angry, sad? Would he have thousands of half-empty beer bottles all over the place? Would he be blasting mournful Celein Dion and Jessica Simpson melodies from his stereo? She finally came to his door and, taking in a great amount of air, knocked.

"Colin, Finn, that you? Tell me you brought more than just those old Backstreet Boys CDs this- oh." Logan said as he opened the door. "Not Colin."

"Nor Finn." Rory added awkwardly.

"Well, uh, hey, Ace. How are you?" Logan said, forcing a smile. Rory realized that it hurt the tiniest bit that he had to force the smile.

"Oh, I'm pretty good. How's...how's school?" Rory saked. She was still in th doorway.

"It's...fine."

"Oh, okay." Rory said. "Well, I was just coming to, y'know, say hi and everything, I was, actually, um, making Paris read my book and stuff, so, um, I came to say hi, and, well. Hi."

"Logan? Is that Colin and Finn? I tell you what, they better've brought more than just those Backstreet Boys CDs or I'll, oh. Hello." A pretty blonde girl said, coming to Logan's side. Rory must've looked puzzled, because Logan quickly launched into an explanation.

"Oh, um, Rory, this is, my, uh, girlfriend. Casey, this is, um, Rory, my, uh," he cut off, not really knowing what Rory was to him anymore.

"Ex." finished Rory. "Just dropping in, saying hi, y'know." 'and making a complete ass of myself,' she added mentally.

"Yeah, okay." The pretty blonde known as Casey said.

"Well, I'll be going." Rory said. "Bye."

"Bye, Rory." Logan said. Rory turned away and walked back to her car, thinking the whole time that that would be the last time she ever bothered to check up on Logan Huntzberger.

Chapter Five - Russel and Autumn Sitting in a Tree...

"He's gone, it's over, I've lost him!" Leslie wailed. Sarah, not quite sure what to do, just patted her back cautiously.

"He was great, he was cool!" Leslie squealed. "And now he's gone!"

"Oh, it's okay, Leslie." Sarah tried to comfort her. Truth was, this had never happened before. Neither of them had ever had a boyfriend, ever. She was too brainy and Leslie was too, well, Leslie.

"Easy for you to say," Leslie muttered. "You've got a guy who likes you, a cute guy, albehim a jerk."

"Hey!" Sarah scolded, but then thought again about specifying what she was scolding her for. Leslie looked at her in surprise, and then her eyes widened.

"Do you like him?" She asked bluntly.

"Russel? Why would I?"

"No, not Russel! Terrance!"

"Oh, um. Hey, ut looks like you're fine now, I think I'll be going." Sarah said hurriedly. She wouldn't fool either of them with that, she knew, but as long as Leslie din't push the matter...

"You know, this is your fault."

...Then she wouldn't be Leslie.

"Whaddya mean?" Sarah asked wearily.

"If Terrance hadn't liked you, Autumn wouldn't be single and Russel wouldn't have a chance with her."

This was so insanely unfair Sarah just shook her head and made to leave.

"Fine, leave, but Sarah Ramona Javerson, if you walk out that door, you and I are no longer friends."

Sarah found she didn't care very much.

"'Kay. Later."

About three hours later, Leslie called Sarah and apologized profusely. She also mentioned that she knew Sarah didn't love Terance and she was stupid for accusing her of it. It was a bittersweet irony. It was, Sarah reminded her, the exact sort of trick her Life was fond of playing on her.

A/N: This chapter was sort of bittersweet for me. I'm also a Logan/Rory fan (don't bite my head off, please), and it was hard to write them breaking up. Oh well.
