Thank you all so much for the reviews, I really needed them to help motivate me to write this chapter. I didn't know what to do after the last chapter.

Thanks to my beta Tiffanie!

It had been a week since Rory and Logan had walked back into the pub hand in hand. Everyone had the same reaction 'It's about time'.

They had stayed at the pub for a few hours so Rory and Steph could catch up with Jess and Tristan, but the whole time Rory stayed snuggled into Logan's side.

Rory could finally say she was happy. She finally had Logan Huntzberger, her best friend, all to herself.

It was Friday afternoon and Rory, Steph, and Honor were doing each other's nails as they watched movies.

"You would think we'd have grown out of this by now." Honor said motioning to her surroundings.

There were countless bottles of nail polish, a bottle of nail polish remover, cotton balls, and Q-tips laying around the dorm room floor, Steph had her foot on Rory's lap as she painted Honor's fingers.

"Stop moving, Steph! I'm going to mess up!" Rory told her.

"I don't think any girl actually grows out of painting her nails." Steph commented.

"Probably not but most girls probably grew out of having their friends paint their nails for them somewhere around the ninth grade."

"RIDICULOUS!" Rory yelled as they fell into giggles.

There was a knock on the door, "Ten bucks it's Colin!" Honor bet.

"Fifteen says it's Finn." Steph wagered.

"Thirty says it's all three." Rory voted then yelled, "Come in!"

The door opened to reveal all three boys confused at the sight in front of them.

"I WIN! You both owe me thirty bucks!" Rory said triumphantly leaning up as Logan bent down to kiss her.

"Why must you all travel in a pack?" Honor asked pulling the money out of her purse and handing it to Rory.

"Buddy system" Finn said as if it was obvious. He plopped down next to Steph and picked up a bottle of black nail polish. Handing it to her, he motioned for her to paint his nails.

Steph obliged and began to paint his nails with black polish, she had learned long ago not to question some of Finn's antics. Not to mention, she thought he looked kind of sexy with his nails painted.

"So, what do we owe this visit to?" Honor said leaning back to kiss Colin who was already laying on the couch with his head next to hers.

"Finn, he was getting antsy and kept saying he was getting Steph withdrawal." Logan said dryly.

"AWW! My baby loves me!" Steph cheered and kissed Finn.

"And in the spirit to being in love with you, how about you accompany me on a date tonight?"

"Oh! What time? Where? How am I going to do my hair? What am I going to wear? Finn details!" Steph said in a panic.

"Relax. I'll pick you up at eight, our location is a surprise. I want you to wear your hair down, I like it better that way and I am sure you will look gorgeous in whatever you wear." Finn said pulling her into his arms.

Being pressed up against him made Steph immediately calm down. "Wavy or straight?" she asked smiling.

"Don't know…the one with the curls at the bottom." Finn shrugged.

"If I ever tell you how to wear your hair, shoot me." Colin whispered to Honor who just looked at him oddly.

"What about you?" Rory asked Logan. "Do you have a certain way you like to see my hair?"

"I like when it's down…but it doesn't matter if it's curly or straight, I like them both." he smirked then leaned over to give her a kiss.

"Awww… You both make me want to hurl." Colin stated.

"It's sweet!" Honor defended "I don't see why them having an opinion on how they like to see their girlfriend's hair is sickening."

Colin had no idea what to say. He didn't think Honor really cared what he thought about the way she looked. He always told her she looked beautiful because that was the truth but he didn't really see the need to get specific.

"On that note, c'mon Rory. Let's go, I'll buy you coffee." Logan suggested.

"Oh, Yay! I knew there were perks to having a boyfriend." Rory said excitedly getting up and getting her coat and shoes. "I'll be back around six to help you for your date Steph."

"Alright! Have Fun! Don't do anything I wouldn't!" She called after them before the door swung shut.

Finn got up and pulled Steph with him. "I've got to go get some things ready for tonight. So, I'll see you later."

"Alright, I love you." Steph said leaning into him.

"Love you too." he smiled giving her a light kiss then turning to Colin and Honor. "Mate, hope you dig yourself out of that hole you're in, and Honor, if he doesn't lemme know. I've always wanted to be a pimp."

Steph hit him on the arm and pushed him out the door. "Bye Finny, See you later."

"Bye, Love!" Finn called as he walked down the hall.

"I'm…going to go." Honor said quietly as she exited the room without another word.

Steph sat down on the couch next to Colin and rested her head on his shoulder. "You don't have an opinion on the way she looks?"

"I do. I think she's gorgeous but I didn't think I'd have to say it constantly."

"Colin, girls like Honor, Rory, and I need to be told things that you like about us. We're the heiresses of very important companies and constantly under scrutiny. People are always telling us we're pretty but that doesn't mean it's true. We need the people who care about us to tell us what they think, what you love about us."

"That seems silly."

"It may seem that way but look at it from Honor's point of view. She's a Huntzberger. People have told her all her life how pretty and how smart she is but how many of them are using her for a bigger purpose? How many of those people are telling her those things because they want the status or her money and not because they mean them?"

"I never thought about it that way." Colin said honestly.

"You can't tell me you've never been used because you're a McRae."

"No, I have but I guess I never thought about how Honor goes through that as well." Colin sighed. "Thanks, Steph."

"No problem." She said leaning into him further. "You should let her cool down because from the looks of it she's pretty pissed off."

"I know."

"Let's watch some TV." Steph suggested and handed Colin the remote control.

"What do you want, Ace?" Logan asked as they stood in line at the coffee kiosk.

"A large, plain black coffee please!" she told him brightly.

"Large plain coffee and a small vanilla latte." Logan told the vender.

Moments later the coffee was placed in front of them and Logan held Rory's out to her. Taking her coffee, she smiled "I love you."

"Are you talking to me or the coffee?" Logan asked teasingly.

"The coffee." She said seriously.

"I knew I had competition."

"It's no competition, the coffee has already won."

"Oh really?"

"Of course! Coffee has been loyal through the years, never letting me down." Rory told him without even realizing that she was pretty much saying that he hadn't been.

"Right." Logan nodded quietly and continued walking quietly.

Rory glanced at him questioningly before what she said occurred to her. "Oh! No, Logan! I wasn't implying that you hadn't been!"

"That's what it sounded like."

"I think it's time we sit down and talk about this." Rory said quietly.

Logan nodded and sat down on a near by park bench.

"I knew you had to go." Rory confessed "I mean I didn't know you had to leave. But I knew that you didn't have a choice in the matter, so I didn't consider your leaving abandonment."

"My heart breaks every time I think about how you must have felt when I never called or wrote." Logan told her.

"Logan, You've gotta know I don't hold that against you. I understand your reasoning. It would have been too hard. I never considered what only being able to talk to you long distance would have done to me."

"You don't hate me for it?" He questioned like a small child.

"I've never hated you! I don't think that's possible. I mean look at that face!" Rory teased pinching his cheeks.

"It is pretty irresistible, isn't it?" Logan smirked.

"If your ego gets any bigger I might not be able to get within an eight foot radius of you."

"Even my ego wants you as close to me as possible." He told her pulling her flush against him and letting his lips crash into hers.

After breaking away when oxygen was becoming a necessary element, Rory noticed that she was getting evil glares from girls passing by. "It's elementary school all over again!"

"What?"

"I'm getting dirty looks from girls passing by." she told him.

"They're jealous."

"Well let's give them something to be jealous of." She whispered seductively, nuzzling his neck.

"I love how your mind works, Ace." He said standing up and pulling him with her.

They began walking back towards her dorm when she abruptly stopped. Logan looked back at her questioningly. "What's wrong?"

"My shoes are hurting my feet and it's too cold to go barefoot, will you carry me?" She asked giving him her best puppy dog pout.

"Ace, won't that look sort of silly?"

"Are you afraid to look silly?" Rory challenged knowing that she was slowly breaking him down.

Hesitating slightly Logan shook his head "Nope."

"Good, give me a piggyback ride." She ordered.

Bending down slightly so she could hop on his back he shook his head. "You are aware if you weren't getting looks before, you certainly are now."

"That's ok, because now I am not the only one getting strange looks."

As the reached her dorm he set her down "Your feet didn't hurt, did they?"

She smirked and kissed him tenderly "Nope."

"I should have known."

"I'll see you later. I've got to help Steph get ready for her date."

"Alright, I love you." He told her honestly.

"I love you too, even if you are an ego maniac." she teased wrapping her arms around his neck to pull him closer.

"But you wouldn't have me any other way." He pressed a kiss to her lips and moved back. "Bye!"

"Bye." She said giving him another quick kiss and walking into her dorm "Did I miss something?" she asked.

She saw Steph laying on Colin's shoulder sleeping and Colin flipping through TV channels.

"No, Steph and I were talking but she fell asleep. I didn't have the heart to wake her." Colin shrugged.

"I knew that deep down you had a heart. You're like the Grinch! All you need is someone to show you the real meaning of things."

"Steph gave me some insight. Does that mean she's Cindy Lou Who?" he asked smirking.

"Don't be such a smart ass but since you asked, yes it does."

"We'll I've got to get going and I am sure you two have some major date prep." He said getting up and waking Steph in the process.

"Bye, Steph. Thanks again." He said kissing her on the forehead before he walked over to Rory and repeated the process.

"Bye Colin." The girls said in unison watching him walk out the door.

"So, do you have anything in mind on what you want to wear on your date?" Rory asked Steph.

"No…and I've only got…TWO HOURS TO FIGURE IT OUT!" Steph yelled as she pulled Rory into her room to help her get ready for her date.

This was a filler chapter, to help me transition into where I want to go. I will say that the next few chapters will be Rogan friendly …but another couple is in trouble (Laugh's evilly)

I added some Steph/Colin friendship action because I don't think I really established their relationship as friends much.

Reviews are welcome, As always!
