I got such a amazing response to this story, I've decided to get a second chapter up quickly.
I'm glad you all liked it!
Incase you haven't seen a pattern emerging in my story titles, This is from the song 'Can't Hurry Love' by The Supremes
Disclaimer: I own nothing, Sad.
Rory put on her button that said '9', she was number nine, she was being sold to a total stranger as number nine "My mother would be so proud." Rory mumbled under her breath.
"You talk to yourself more than a criminal in solitary confinement." Paris commented.
"If I am being forced to do this against my will I should have at least been able to pick my own damn number!" she ranted.
"You really need to chill out. If you get stuck with a creepy guy I will make it up to you. Shopping in new York and a months supply of coffee. Sound good?" Steph bribed.
"Yes, But even that doesn't sound worth it." Rory muttered.
"Your bitter, Why your bitter I don't know. Your life is practically a freaking fairy tale!" Steph accused. "Well other than the fact that she has hit a dry patch in the romance department." Paris added.
"I HAVE NOT!" Rory protested. "Yes, You have. You left Dean for that greasy looking Jess kid. Then he left and you've been all mopey. I understood it for a few weeks but now it's annoying." Paris told her.
It was a known fact Paris and Steph immensely disliked Dean and Jess. They constantly told Rory how she could do better, How she deserved better.
"Alright, That's enough out of you Paris." Rory stated dryly. "NUMBER EIGHT! YOUR UP NEXT!" A voice called.
"That's me! See you guys soon." Paris said and disappeared behind the curtains.

"OH! COLIN! There's the one you like!" Finn slurred. He was already on his seventh drink, and from the way he was acting whatever he was drinking certainly had a kick in it.
"Yes Finn, I do think she's attractive." Colin stated casually. "Will you just bid already?" Finn asked annoyed with his friends bashfulness.
"She can't see you, She won't see you till after the all the bidding is over. I'd hurry to, She's already going for a thousand ." Logan told him.
"For the first time in my life I hate being surrounded by other rich men." Colin mumbled and put his bid in. After going back and forth with another guy Colin finally ended up paying Four thousand dollars and fifty two cents thanks to Finn.

Paris walked back behind the curtain to see her friends. "I got sold for Four thousand and fifty two cents." She told them.
"That's great, Paris!" Rory exclaimed happy that her friend got paid so much for. But Paris shook her head.
"That may sound great but I saw some of the bidders, They are old, rich, scary looking, business men who are probably married."
"Eww." Steph said as her face twisted in disgust. "Why are those people even allowed to bid!" She asked. Both Paris and Rory shrugged.
"NUMBER NINE!" The announcer said. "Wish me luck." Rory sighed and walked onto the stage.
"Lorelai Gilmore is a reporter for the Yale Daily News. She's a freshman and is from Hartford, Connecticut." The announcer said to the crowd who were already anxious to bid on her.
After about twenty minutes of people placing bids Rory had gotten bored and had stopped paying attention to how much she had gone for, The only thing she knew was it was well over Eight thousand dollars, Which she thought was ridiculous.
"SOLD!" The announcer said brightly sending her off the stage. Rory gave a departing smile and walked off the stage.
-SFSFSFSFSFSF-
"YOU PAID A LOT!" Finn told Logan who was writing out his check. "Yes, Finn I am aware of how much I paid."
"I hope she puts out because you paid a lot." Finn said breaking his sentence up as if he was a small child.
Logan rolled his eyes "I get the point! I paid a lot, Not to mention I paid a thousand more because one of my drunk friends out bid me!" Logan snapped.
"Who did that?" Finn questioned seriously. He obviously had forgotten it was him who had placed a bid higher than Logan's because he felt the urge to yell.
Logan had paid a lot but honestly he knew he was going to shell out that much, He was planning on spending more. She was beautiful, Rich and Powerful and any business man in the audience knew exactly who she was and what her background consisted of.
-RLRLRLRLRLRL-
Rory walked back to her awaiting friends, and plopped down on a chair. "Who knew standing up there, smiling would be so damn tiring?" Rory asked rhetorically.
"How much you go for?" Steph asked only to receive a shrug from Rory. "I stopped listening I was up there for like twenty minutes!" Rory complained.
"I'm next I'll see you guys soon." Steph said picking her skirt up so she didn't trip and disappeared through the curtain.
"Finn! Bid!" Colin exclaimed. "Why?" Finn questioned "I already bid!"
"Finn, You bid on Rory. You also lost. You have to bet on Stephanie Vanderbilt!" Logan reasoned. "I don't understand why, But ok!" Finn said raising his hand.
"It's time to get him some coffee." Colin said standing up and walking over to the bar. "SOLD!" The announcer exclaimed.
"I WON!" Finn yelled excitedly. "Yes, Finn you won. Now where's your check book?" Logan asked. He felt like he was Finn's mother, Constantly checking to make sure Finn didn't get into trouble.
Finn pulled the book out of his pocket and handed it to Logan, Who proceeded to fill the check out and gave the pen back to Finn to simply sign his name.
Colin sat down and handed Finn the coffee. Finn scoffed at it but drank it anyways. "So, We got the girls." Colin stated "That Rory girl isn't going to be to thrilled to learn that it was us who bought them."
Logan shook his head, It was the truth, She wouldn't be thrilled. Her name and heritage might be upper-class but her upbringing was far from it. Another little tid bit he had picked up from his mother. She grew up in a small little town and only recently began to be involved in society, Though she already had the grace and charm that it took to be in that world.
"Let's go claim our prizes!" Finn exclaimed as the last girl was auctioned off. "Finn, You might get your ass kicked if you refer to them as your prizes." Logan pointed out.
"If any girl kicks my ass, I think that would turn me on." Finn pondered out loud and began to move his way to where he handed the check in.
"I die a little inside everyday that comes and he's not institutionalized." Colin sighed causing Logan to laughed.

"I'm nervous! What If I end up with a Big, Fat, Businessman that's older than my grandfather that wears a toupee or has a comb over.. What if…" Rory's rant was cut off by the blonde boy from earlier standing in front of her with a slip of paper that said 'nine'
Rory stood in slight shock, Either fate was on her side or this was to good to be true. Rory was thinking the latter. "Your not a old businessman with a hairpiece." She muttered when she found her voice.
"Nope, But if that's what you want I think I can arrange for you to be hooked up with one." Logan smirked.
"No, I think I'm good." Rory insisted as she walked past Steph and Paris who had been paired with his two friends.
Now usually Rory wouldn't have minded being set up with a handsome man such as Logan Huntzberger but this was all very coincidental and Rory wasn't letting him get what he wanted that easily.
"So, How'd you do it?" Rory asked sitting at a table with him. Logan stared at her "How'd I do what?"
"Find out we'd be here. I know your type, You don't seem like the type of guy to go for the chick that takes time to win over. Your more of the type that likes em' to fall at your feet."
Logan was shocked to say the least, She had pin pointed him in less that five minutes. He didn't know if he should be insulted that she thought of him like that or impressed that she could read him so well.
He had to think of something witty to say that wouldn't dig him in a hole and make her hate him more. "You seem to think you're a wealth of knowledge about me already." As soon as the words spilled from his lips he regretted them. "Yes, Because if she didn't hate you before she certainly does now." he thought to himself.
She smirked at him. "You going to prove me wrong?"
"Yes, I am." He said confidently. "Well, I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, Logan Huntzberger." She stood up and gave him a light kiss on the cheek and walked away causing Steph and Paris to follow.
Finn who had seemed to sober immensely and Colin walked over to him. "They are all immune to our charm aren't they?" Finn pouted.
"It seems that way." Colin agreed. Steph and Paris had both figured out that they had been set up and neither of them were going to make the chase for these guys easy.
"I don't think I like having to win a girls affections." Finn whined. "I don't think it matters, We're already completely compelled to them."
"Right you are Colin, Right you are." Finn nodded and shuffled himself in the direction of the bar. "So is Miss Gilmore the firecracker we all assumed she was?" Colin asked sitting across from Logan.
"Firecracker? She's a freaking atomic bomb."
Colin just smiled he knew his friend was intrigued. Rory Gilmore was a challenge and one thing he knew about Logan was that he never turned down a challenge.
I know, It's shorter that it should be but the school year is coming to a close and I suppose I should put my fan fiction stories on the back burner and do some major studying. Sad, I know.
So this is a forewarning for all my stories: THEY WILL NOT BE UPDATED AS FREQUENTLY UNTIL AFTER JUNE 16. That's not saying they won't ever be updated it's just saying not as frequently.
I'd also like to comment that I haven't the slightest clue what happens at an Auction, So if the process is not correct. I'm Sorry.
Also, The prices seem a bit high. REMEMBER! This was all for all Yale Alumni and Yale Students, Who are extreamly wealthy. (Not to mention it's going to help me do the story line later.)
But keep the reviews coming because they will inspire me to ditch the educational process and update these things!
