Thanks for all the reviews you guys are simply amazing!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. The more I say it the sadder it makes me.
IMPORTANT: The last line from the last chapter "She also noticed the people outside the cottage dressed in costumes but she couldn't quite make out what they were." Is to be disregarded, I changed my mind with what I was going to do, So please ignore that line.
Rory, Steph and Paris were all sitting on the couch as they watched the guys bring in the luggage. There was enough bags and suitcases to assume they were going to be there a month rather than a weekend.
"So, Care to fill us in on what we are doing tonight?" Paris asked. "Not particularly." Colin smirked and continued to bring in bags.
Once everything was in the cottage they handed each girl a suitcase and a beach bag tote.
"The suitcase is clothing and the beach bag is toiletries and all that fun stuff. Just so you know we didn't buy anything in the bags we left that to my sister. Who apparently thought it was fun to spend my money and decided to make it a goody bag more than a necessities kind of thing." Logan explained.
"My god your sister has good taste." Steph said as she looked through the bag.
The guys then handed each girl a box that contained clothing. "These are your outfits for tonight, You will not question them. All will be reveled in time."
Rory opened the box and was completely confused when she found a jumpsuit, the kind that race car drivers wear. "I'm sorry, You must have me confused with Evel Knievel."
Logan shook his head. he should have known she'd be the one to make a smartass comment. "Go change or we'll be late." he told them dismissing Rory's remark.
The girls emerged in their jump suits to find the guys in the same type of attire. "At least it's got pink on it because if it didn't we'd have a serious problem." Steph told Finn.
They walked out of the cottage and were greeted with the sight of dozens of other people in the same type of clothing.
"Logan, it's pitch black outside, your leading me further into a forest and I am wearing a jumpsuit. Care to give me some sort of clue as to why these events are occurring?" She asked.
"Not really, you'll figure it out eventually and I am just hoping I catch it on film." he said with a smile playing on his lips.
"I hate you." She declared as if she was a five year old who had just gotten her favorite toy taken away. "Get in line." was his only reply as they continued to walk in silence to the clearing.
Once they arrived Rory noticed a ramp, motorbikes and a hoop. "What could they possibly be doing with a hoop and moto-" Just then Rory's thoughts were cut off by the hoop being turned into a literal ring of fire.
That's when it clicked, They wanted to jump through the ring of fire on motorbikes. "HELL NO!" Rory exclaimed backing away slowly.
Logan noticed and grabbed her wrist. "C'mon Ace, Where's your sense of adventure?"
Rory let out a nervous laugh "Must have left it back at the cottage, Why don't I just go back and get it." She said turning towards the path they had just taken.
Just then Steph, Paris, Colin and Finn joined them. "So, You lovely ladies in?" Finn asked excitedly. "I am! That looks fun, plus I trust Finn driving the bike we are on."
"She may not be mentally stable enough to be doing this." Colin stated. Anyone willing to get on a motorbike with Finn jumping through a ring of fire obviously had a few screws loose.
"I don't know…That can't be safe." Paris said skeptically as she watched two people on a motorbike zoom through the ring of fire and live to tell the tale.
"I promise I won't let anything happen to you." Colin said charmingly. "Well…" Paris said considering it "It does seem like a once in a life time opportunity."
"Exactly! See Rory, You're friends have got the idea. Why are you running scared?" Logan questioned.
"Because I am not insane like they are?" Rory suggested earning laughs from her two best friends.
Rory looked at the flaming hoop and the people who had just went through it. They looked happy and fearless. She had never done anything really daring like this before but then again there was a reason, she wasn't suicidal.
She glanced at Logan who looked eager to introduce her to a new world of risks and fun, something completely different from her sheltered life of studying and Stars Hollow.
She took a deep breath, she watched a lot of movies and now it was time to stop watching and start doing. "Well I…Lets go!"
Logan's face registered in shock, he hadn't expected her to agree without a lot more coaxing and at least a few bribes .
"Let's go." he repeated. Colin, Paris, Finn and Steph began to make their way to the area but Rory hung back a little.
"Ace, No one is going to make you do anything you don't wanna do." Logan told her sincerely. He wanted her to do this stunt but he didn't want to push her to much.
"I know, I figure it's time to stop watching and start doing." She said trying to muster up as much courage as she could.
Logan held out his hand for her to take. She looked at it cautiously. "It won't bite. I promise." He said smiling at her.
Rory took it and they began walking towards the contraption Rory was positive would lead to her death. The closer they got, the closer Rory moved to Logan. By the time they made it to the preparation area Rory had Logan's hand in a death grip and she was snuggled into his arms.
"Don't worry, All the proper safety requirements are taken. The ramps and everything are surrounded by big soft mats, there is a whole team of paramedics on call, you'll be wearing a helmet and the jumpsuit is flame resistant. Not to mention, I am a pro at riding motorbikes." Logan explained trying to reassure her that it was safe.
"There is still a chance I could die." Rory stated. "There is chance you could die from eating bad pizza. Everything you do in life is a health risk, We are just testing the limits."
"I'm scared." Rory admitted. Logan wrapped his arms around Rory and held her close "I know your scared, but just think the sooner it's done and over with the sooner you can go tell your mom you defied death."
Logan had never had a strong urge to comfort a girl. No matter what the circumstance was he didn't do the whole comforting thing. But Rory some how managed to bring out this side of him that he didn't know he had.
He pulled away and smiled "I'll be with you the whole time."
"Is that supposed to be reassuring?" She asked. "If you die, I die?" he reasoned.
"That oddly makes me feel better." She joked grabbing his hand as they walked up to the take off area. Rory kissed Logan on the lips quickly before he put his helmet on "My life is in your hands."
That little peck on the lips made Logan feel like he could fly, that no matter what he had to live through this just because he had to kiss her again.
He felt her situate on the back of the bike and hug him closely. "Ready?" he yelled.
"As much as I'll ever be."
Logan started the bike and drove off the ramp through the flaming hoop and safely to the other side of the clearing.
Rory watched the experience through squinted eyes. She felt like she was flying. She could feel the heat from the fire as the passed through it and that made her all the more excited.
As they landed Logan drove the bike into the safety zone. As soon as Logan had taken off his helmet Rory launched herself into his arms and kissed him deeply.
What had possessed Rory to kiss Logan like that she didn't know. All she knew was that he had helped her have one of the most amazing moments in her life and she wanted to repay him. She realized she had feelings for Logan and this was as good of time as any to act on them.
Logan couldn't believe what was happening, Rory Gilmore a girl who was thoroughly disgusted with him was asking for entrance to his mouth, not that he was complaining.
He finally realized he had feelings for Rory that were not simply platonic. He couldn't do commitment and she couldn't do casual. But right now all logical thought flew from his mind as her tongue began to massage his own.
He pulled her closer and she tangled her fingers in his hair. She could not get close enough to him. They broke away when neither of them could breathe. Logan rested her forehead on hers as he tried to catch his breath.
"Well…That…That was amazing." He said with his trademark smirk firmly in place causing Rory to blush. "I'm sorry, I don't know why…what…I just…I wanted to kiss you." she admitted looking down.
"Hey." he said tilting her chin up so he could look in her eyes "You will never have to apologize for kissing me."
She smiled sweetly which made his heart melt and gave him a hug. "Thanks for the once in a life time experience." He shook his head "I doesn't have to be."
Rory was about to respond when Steph and Finn came walking up to them. "That was some lip action." Steph whispered in Rory's ear causing her to blush again.
"Did you have fun, Love?" Finn asked. "Of course!" Logan replied.
"Logan, I haven't called you 'Love' since that sultry night in Bimini." Finn said dead seriously causing the girls to burst out laughing.
"I had an amazing time, Finn. Going through that hoop was so cool!" Rory responded to his question.
"I wasn't talking about the stunt, I was talking about kissing Logan." Finn winked at Rory and nudged Logan's arm.
"It's about time we go find Paris. What do you think, Ror?" Steph questioned linking arms with Rory and leading her away. Rory waved goodbye to the guys and started laughing at something Steph said.
Logan and Finn watched the girls retreating backs. Finn looked over at Logan who was stilling watching Rory depart in the direction of Colin and Paris.
"Somebody's got it bad." Finn sang. "Me? No, I don't do commitment and she does." Logan tried to defend.
"Yeah, I have my doubts that, that's going to stop you."
"Well it will. I am not going to change my ways for one girl. Sure, She's sweet and smart and beautiful and…" Logan trailed off realizing he wasn't on task "But I can't be tied down to one girl and Rory Gilmore of all girls won't change that."
"Whatever Mate. You can have your little friendship with Gilmore but I will be enjoying the company of one Miss Vanderbilt tonight." Finn said suggestively.
"You honestly think she's gonna put out tonight? Those girls have class unlike your usual floozy, Finn."
"Oh, I was already promised." Finn smirked before running off in the direction of Stephanie.
Logan watched from afar as everybody talked and laughed. He couldn't keep his eyes off of Rory, but that didn't matter. He couldn't be with her, he'd break her heart. She laughed and her whole face lit up causing Logan's heart to skip a beat.
"No commitment, You like the Huntzberger Harem. Big boobed, blonde, long legged…stupid, materialistic girls." He reminded himself. Rory Gilmore was not going to get to him.
Alright, There is your next chapter! I know it's a little short. Sorry!
A few things: I know the stunt is probably impossible to do for the simple fact that two people on one bike is probably to much weight but go along with it.
The quote 'Logan, I haven't called you love since that sultry night in Bimini' is from the episode 'The Real Paul Anka.' I died laughing when I heard it and had to add it in somehow.
I already know what my next few chapters will be like so once I get them typed up they'll be posted.
Reviews are appreciated, As always!
