A/N: So guys… my first Rogan! Woot! Haha… So I'm sitting here at work and listening to my iPod, then I thought it'd be fun to listen to some Disney songs… I know weird but you can't hate Disney songs they make you remember the better years looks off dreamily… so… this song came on and it's called "This Is My Idea" and it's from The Swan Princess (I love that movie)… anyways I heard this song then I thought of the perfect Rogan story. So here it is… let's hope it turns out the way I've just imagined. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: First meeting

"Daddy I don't wanna go!" The little girl whined as she tugged on her fathers arm as her mother was picking out clothes for her daughter and packing them in one of many suitcases that lay open outside the closet. "Daddy all of my books are here they probably don't even have anything for me to do, won't you and mommy miss me?" she added at the end with her big blue eyes filling up with tears, a pout beginning to form on her lips. Normally Chris Hayden could stand up to anyone, but his wife Lorelai and daughter Rory were definite exceptions to this rule. One look and he'd cave.

"Lor a little help please?" he asked of the beautiful brunette, who was rifling through her daughters wardrobe, seeing as she was usually immune to their little girls Bambi eyes. He watched her sigh then come out of the massive closet and crouched down next to the 3 year old.

"Hey Rory sweetie, he's very nice I promise and they have so many books you wouldn't even be able to begin to imagine. Daddy and I are going to miss you so much but we've got to go places that you can't go and I don't want to leave you in a hotel all day. Besides their little boy is very nice I've met him before when I went over there to visit his mommy and daddy with your grandparents."

"I have to go?" Rory asked one last time, with a couple of tears falling down her cheeks.

"You are going to have loads of fun babe, and we'll see you in a couple of months, the time will fly." Chris said, his heart breaking at the sight of his baby girl.

"So who is she mommy and why does she have to come here?" a small 4 year old blonde boy asked of his mother as she prepared the room for their guest. Shira looked down at her only son and smiled sweetly.

"Logan you better be nice to her, and make sure you tell the others the same. Her name is Rory, and she's coming here because I invited her, now go wash up she'll be here soon." She replied shooing the boy out of the little girl's temporary room.

Logan made his way to his room when he heard someone call his name from behind him. Turning around he saw his 3 best friends: Stephanie Vanderbilt, Colin McRae, and Finnegan Rothschild. Forgetting about washing up, and getting ready for Rory's imminent arrival he smiled and walked over to them.

"Logan why is your mom making that room so pink?" Colin asked.

"Because 'Rory' is coming." He replied with fake enthusiasm.

"Who's Rory?" This was Finn.

"I don't know some girl; she's probably some stupid idiot face."

"Good one Logan, have you met her yet?" Stephanie asked him.

"No, but what does that matter? She's 3 years old… 3!"

"I'm still 3 Logan, and so is Finn! You butt head!"

"Sorry Stephie… she probably doesn't do anything we like, and my mommy and daddy will make us do what she wants."

"We won't be able to dress up?" Stephanie asked him, a look of pure horror on her face, her green eyes open wide.

"Maybe not," Logan said seriously, "and what if she doesn't like to swim, or play hide and seek, just think Stephie this summer could be horrible!" he added dramatically catching the attention of the other three and causing Stephanie to start tugging on one of her blonde braids.

"Maybe we can hide from her all summer!" Finn said, the idea of not having fun having a real impact on him.

"We'll have to try." Colin and Logan said at the same time. Just then Shira came out into the hall.

"You four, Rory's here let's go, and BE NICE!" she said quickly and ushered the foursome down the stairs and into the entrance hall. Just as they got off the stairs the front door was opened to reveal a young brown haired woman and man walking in with a smile and a couple of butlers carrying in luggage. The kids were looking for the little girl that was supposed to be coming but couldn't find her.

"You don't think she's in one of the bags do you?" Finn asked seriously. Before any of them could answer a petite girl walked through the massive front door hugging a book, and looking down at her shoes, causing her lightly curled coffee brown hair to fall into her face, creating a kind of shield.

"Rory babe come here, I want you to meet Shira Huntzberger." The brown haired man said. The girl walked to her father but didn't acknowledge anyone. Shira spoke to her to see if Rory would answer.

"Hi Rory, I'm so happy I can finally meet you! I've heard all of your grandparents talk about you all the time same with your mommy and daddy."

Rory looked up at the smiling blonde lady in front of her and simply said, "Hi."

"Rory I want you to meet my son Logan, Logan this is Rory Gilmore - Hayden." She said, pulling her son away from his friends and pushing him towards the shy brunette. "Logan say hello."

"Hi Rory." He said quickly, as though trying to get it over with A.S.A.P.

"Hi Logan," she replied and for the first time she looked up from the floor and everyone was able to see her big oceanic blue eyes.

"Umm… This is Colin, Stephie, and Finn they're my best friends." He said, with emphasis on the 'my'.

"Hello… umm… it's nice to meet you." She added, remembering that her mom had asked her to be polite.

"Okay Rory, you go have fun and daddy and I will call you later." Lorelai said, pulling her only child into a hug, and kissing her on the top of her head.

"I'm going to miss you kid." Chris said, giving her a little kiss. "Bye Ror." At that the couple left a clearly heartbroken 3 year-old standing in the entrance hall with a pile of strangers.

"Rory I'll get your bags brought upstairs, why don't you go with those four and play okay hunny?"

"Okay," she said in a small voice. Shira walked up the stairs to start unpacking all of Rory's things, leaving the kids alone together.

"Rory why are you carrying that book?" Colin asked her in as arrogant a tone a 4 year old can have.

"Umm… cause I like it a lot."

"What book is it?" Stephanie asked.

"The Places You Will Go"

"I've never heard of it, it probably isn't very good." Logan snapped.

"Come on Logan let's go." Finn whined wanting to get away from the girl that he thought would ruin their summer if they stayed around her too long. They all followed Finn up to Logan's room, leaving the confused girl behind them.

Rory watched them disappear up the large staircase, then checked her surroundings and saw a chair next to a window which she promptly went over to and read her book for the hundredth time.

"Let's play Zoo!" Finn said.

"No I want to play Castle," Steph countered.

"I'll play castle with you Stephie," Colin said with a smile.

"Thanks Colin, you can be Prince Charming, Finn can be your horse, and Logan can be the King."

"Why am I a horse?" Finn asked the blonde girl.

"Because you said you wanted to play Zoo, and a horse is an animal, I thought it would be what you wanted." She said as though it was obvious.

"What are you then Stephie?" Finn asked.

"She's the Princess, right Steph?" asked Logan, and receiving a nod from his friend, "she's always the Princess, let's go get the costumes out of the play room." He suggested, getting the others to follow him.

------------

After hours of playing, the maid told them that Logan's dad should be home any second and that dinner was ready. They didn't bother changing back into their clothes and ran downstairs to the dining room, not even noticing Rory curled up on the chair.

------------

Mitchum Huntzberger pulled up to his mansion, and quickly came inside, hoping he wasn't too late for dinner. He was about to throw his briefcase and coat onto the same chair he always does, but found it occupied by a small sleeping girl, that was snuggled up to a Dr. Seuss book. He hadn't seen Rory since the meeting that both families had had just under three years ago, but he knew it was her she looked like a mini Lorelai.

"Rory sweet-heart, wake up." He gently shook her sleeping form.

She opened her eyes and saw a strange man leaning over her. Her eyes widened in fright and she curled up into a ball, and watched him over the top of her book.

"Rory I'm Logan's dad, I'm Mitchum, I'm friends with both of your Grandpa's and your daddy." This didn't seem to elicit a reaction from her so he tried another way. "Rory are you hungry? 'Cause it's time to eat! Let's go sweetie, you can sit by me." He held out his hand for her to take, which she did, and the pair walked into the dining room where the others were waiting to eat. As soon as Shira saw Rory she jumped up and ran over to her.

"Rory! Oh my goodness where were you?"

"She was in the entrance hall." Mitchum supplied, then looked at his wife silently asking her to not ask any questions. "Come on Rory let's eat, are you hungry cause I am starving!"

"Yeah I'm a little hungry." She replied with a small smile, and everyone watched how Rory and Mitchum talked while they ate about anything from what her book was about, to what Mitchum did during the day. After dinner Mitchum showed Rory to her room, and asked her to pick out a book for them to read together. As soon as she was sleeping, Mitchum and Shira looked in on their son and his friends.

"Guys why was Rory all alone in the entrance hall, sleeping in a chair?" Mitchum began.

"We don't know dad, she didn't want to play with us." Logan said, looking at his feet, which Mitchum knew meant his son was lying.

"Guys please include her tomorrow, and that isn't a question got it?" Mitchum said sternly. A mixture of 'yes sir' and 'okay daddy' and sure uncle Mitchum' rang out from the kids. "Goodnight then." He finished kissing each of them on the head as they got under the covers of the beds temporarily placed in Logan's room. Shutting the door behind them Shira and Mitchum made their way over to their own bedroom.

"I hope they start getting along soon, the better friends they are, the easier they'll take the news when they're older."

"Yeah me too Shira. I thought that introducing them young would make the marriage easier… but so far not so good."

"I'm sure they'll come around soon. Night Mitch."

"Goodnight Shira."
