Rory was laying on her back with her head in Logan's lap. How she had managed to get her head in Logan's lap she didn't know.
She knew she should make in known that she was awake but she was having to much fun listening to the guy's conversation. At first she felt guilty but then it dawned on her it was their own fault for forcing her to wear the blindfold in the first place.
"Does this event have a stunt?" Colin asked. "I'm not sure, I didn't think so but then again Seth does enjoy the whole teetering the edge of life and death kind thing." Logan told him.
"It's not called the Life and Death Brigade for nothing." Colin reasoned.
Rory began processing everything that they were saying. "They obviously left a few details off the invitation." she thought to herself. "Stunt? Teetering the edge of death? Who the hell do they think I am David Blaine?"
"So, Mate. Do you think Gilmore will still hate your guts after this trip?" Finn said addressing Logan.
"I think hate is to strong of a word." Colin interjected "It's more like a huge dislike for his being."
"So she doesn't exactly fall at my feet like other girls, but that's what I like about her. She's got substance, She's got .." Logan began but was cut off by Colin.
"Stop, I really don't feel like listening to Logan list all of the qualities that makes Rory different from the ditzy Pamela Anderson look a likes that he normal aims for. Let's change the subject, Shall we?"
"Sure, Like how I am probably getting lucky tonight!" Finn exclaimed excitedly.
The joy in his voice reminded Rory of a little kid who was just told he could get anything from a toy store that he wanted. She had to fight to keep from laughing out loud.
Rory let her mind wander to the comment Colin had made about Logan's previous dates. Obviously they were usually blonde, big boobed, and ditzy. Rory was none of those things so why did he choose her. He could have picked several girls from the newspaper that were at the auction, who all fit into that description.
Rory decided she wasn't going to drive herself crazy, It was one weekend she had to spend with him then she would have fulfilled her obligation.
Lifting her head slowly out of his lap she sat up wishing she could take off her blindfold. "Hey there, Sleeping beauty." Logan greeted.
Rory felt a blush creep up on her face which didn't go unnoticed by Logan. "When do I get to take the blindfold off?" She asked simply.
"Not to much longer. Our destination is to be kept secret." Logan explained. "But if you want to blame someone for this rule you can blame Finn." Colin added.
"Why? What did Finn do?"
"To make a long story short, I brought a date to a LDB location and she wasn't blindfolded. Then when I told her we were better off as friends she didn't take it well and destroyed the property." Finn explained.
"Including very important documents belonging to the LDB." Logan said still amused by the story.
"How was I supposed to know she was bloody psycho?" Finn asked.
"I don't know, The fact that she openly admitted to having a shrine of you, might have been a good tip off." Colin suggested.
"I didn't think she was serious."
"Yes, you did." Colin argued.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!" Colin yelled waking Paris and Steph up.
After about fifteen more minutes of Colin and Finn bickering they arrived at their destination.
"We're Here!" Finn said excitedly as he jumped out of the escalade and ran over to the other side to help Steph out.
"Where is here?" Rory asked hoping Logan would slip. He smiled at her attempt "Not gonna work, Ace."
"Can't blame a girl for trying." she told him. Logan helped her out of the car and took her hand so he could guide her.
Rory didn't like the feeling of not being able to see where she was walking. She hated that she didn't know where she was. The feeling of uncertainty caused her to tighten her grip on Logan's hand.
She didn't know him very well but he was the closest thing she had to comfort at this point in time and she used that to her advantage.
"So the firing squad is just up ahead."
"Yup, and there's a line. Damn." Logan said playing along.
"Seriously, Logan, is the blindfold coming off, or am I Patty Hearst-ing it the whole trip?"
"It's coming off. It's coming off right now." He pulled the blindfold off and watched as her eyes widened in excitement.
"This is…" Rory trailed off. "Wow."
Rory looked at the cottages that were lined up and decorated with beautiful lights. Each cottage had a mini porch with a swinging glider seat and a small table. This was certainly not something she imagined from a group of college students.
"Is this what you expected?" Logan asked knowing from the expression on her face that she was shocked.
"Not at all." She admitted.
"Let me guess what you were thinking: sleeping bag, flashlights, keg, three boxes of stale Triscuits, half eaten bag of Oreos, some Doritos and a bong."
"Pretty Much."
"Well, just so it's not a complete let down. I am sure there are Oreos and Doritos somewhere. Plus, odds are at least one person has a bong."
"Would you be offended if I had a inkling that, the person who has a bong would be you?" Rory teased.
"Ace, You wound me." He said as he lead her into a cabin where Steph, Paris, Finn and Colin were already residing. "This is our cabin."
"Ours?" Rory questioned. There was no way she was going to share a room with Logan.
"Yes. Yours, Mine, Steph, Paris, Colin and Finn." Logan explained. "There are five rooms, meaning all but two people will be able to have their own."
"Finn gets his own because he has a tendency to sleep nude." Colin stated with a hint of disgust in his voice. "But other than that it really doesn't matter."
"I'll share with Rory." Steph offered noticing how terrified Rory looked at the option of her ending up in a room with Logan.
"Alright, You guys get the room with two beds, obviously. Everyone else gets to fight over the remaining ones." Logan said with a smirk as he jumped over the couch and ran down the hall to claim his room.
"NO FAIR!" Finn shouted and ran after him. Colin and Paris soon followed hoping that they didn't get stuck with the crappy room.
"Thanks." Rory said turning to look at Steph who was sitting on the couch. "No problem, I could some how tell that you were terrified of being forced to bunk with Logan."
"I'm just not sure if he's a good guy or a bad guy in a good guys disguise yet." Rory admitted. Steph was about to say something but she was cut off by a huge thump from the hall.
Going to see what the commotion was they saw Finn sitting on Colin and Logan sitting on the floor with Colin holding his leg.
"What the hell is going on?" Steph asked Paris. "Well you see, Finn wanted that room but Colin was in it first. That of course caused Finn to sneak attack Colin. Then Once they were on the floor Logan figured he'd take a chance and get the room but Colin tripped him."
"Alright!" Rory yelled. She was sick of guys who were in their twenties acting like they were eight. "Everyone up!"
All three guys looked scared and scrambled to their feet. "Pick a number. One through 10, closest without going over gets the room."
"Nine." Colin shouted so he could have the first pick.
"Two." Logan stated.
"Seven." Finn said crossing his fingers.
"My number was three." Rory told them.
"HA! In your faces!" Logan said doing a small victory dance. "You lie! You changed your number so your date would win!" Finn accused.
"Actually, Three was my original number. Three because I am the third Lorelai."
Rory watched as Colin, Finn and Paris argued about which room they were going to get. Rory knew Paris was going to win. Paris always won.
"Was it fixed?" Rory felt someone say in her ear. Turning around she saw Logan, "You mean did I change my number so you would win?" Rory asked.
Logan nodded. "Nope, Believe it or not Logan. You won by luck, not your ability to woo someone with your smirk or name."
"Why do you hate that so much?" Logan asked.
"Hate what?"
"The Hartford Elite. The status that comes along with your name. The wealth that you and your family possess." Logan elaborated.
He didn't understand why she hated it so much, Granted she was branded a scandal in that world but that didn't make her any less powerful. He had always been taught that with your status comes respect. Then these three girls come in and completely ruin that theory.
"I don't hate it. I guess I just don't understand it. I mean I get the whole more money and status equals more power but does it really mean that people have to go spend 500 dollars on jeans or 50 dollars on lip gloss?"
"In my defense. I've never spent 700 dollars on one pair of jeans and I most certainly never spent 50 dollars on lip gloss." Logan tried to joke.
"But you know people who do." Rory tried to reason. Logan just nodded "Yes, I do know people who do but I don't understand it 50 dollar lip gloss tastes the same as five dollar lip gloss." He said smirking.
Rory nodded but then understood the subtext of his comment. "Oh my god." but then she laughed.
"Listen, We'll get continue this little debate about rich people and their frivolous spending later. Right now we've gotta get ready for tonight."
"And that would be!" Rory asked cautiously.
"Patience Ace, Patience." He told her. "I'm going to go get the bags then it will all be explained…Well tonight's festivities anyways."
Rory threw herself on the couch as she watched the three guys bring in the bags and boxes from the escalade. She also noticed the people outside the cottage dressed in costumes but she couldn't quite make out what they were.
No need to tell me this chapter sucks, I had horrible writers block but this chapter did help me over come it and I know exactly what I am going to do with the next chapter.
I would love to know what you guys think: Should I add a stunt? Originally I wasn't going to but I had a few reviews ask me if I was going to. Lemme know.
Please excuse the errors in spelling, grammar and/or point of view I had no motivation to edit this.
