I don't own anything Gilmore Girls.

Ch20 Read my mind

Logan heard the ringing, once, twice and Finn voice. "Mate, it's about time, I have been listening to a ranting Stephanie and it's driving me insane."

"Finn- give me the phone!" She demanded.

"Good luck Mate."

"Logan, what is wrong with you? You tell me you're falling for her and that you plan to tell her and than find a new girl to occupy your time with. You know how she was hurt in the past and she would never date a guy who is involved with someone. So if the plan was to drive her away; mission accomplished." She managed to say that in one full swoop.

Logan waited for her to stop, he knew he wouldn't get a word in. "Steph, I heard the story and you have to believe me when I say it's not true."

"Are you telling me that Rory didn't call your phone and some Missy did not answer it?"

"No, that part is true but Missy is not my girlfriend she isn't even a friend."

"So you're back to your old ways. You told me Rory meant something to you. You should have seen her face when we brought up your name."

He sighed, he hated to think that she was upset because of him.

"But she will get past this. She brought up that you two are not together and it was her idea to have this no-string thing. I told you both that this whole thing was a bad idea, but no one listened to me."

"Stephanie stop ranting. You're right the no-strings was a bad idea, I should have made it full of strings but I need to clear some things up. First, I did not lie to you, I do want Rory more than anything I want her in my life."

"Well, you should have…"

"Steph, let me continue. Secondly Missy isn't anything. She was a staff member on the paper here until I found out what happened. We were at a business dinner, I went to the restroom, like an idiot I left my phone on the table, Rory called- Missy answered and that brings us to this misunderstanding. ,She lied Steph, she threw herself at me but I rejected her"

There was silence on the phone. "Steph, you still there?"

"I feel like such an ass, I should have heard your side of the story like Colin and Finn told me to before my ranting but she's my best friend and I could see it in her eyes that she was hurt."

"It's okay as long as you believe me. Listen I have to go to hotel and pack, Honor has the jet in Europe so I'm coming back on a Red-Eye. I should be back by 11:00 AM, try and make sure she's still around."

"I'll try but it won't be easy. She's in Stars Hallow at her parents so get there as soon as your plane lands."

"I will."

Steph ended the call and looked at everyone around her. "Come on were off to stop Rory from leaving. I'll tell you everything on the way."

They arrived at the Hayden's house ringing the doorbell, banging on the door yelling. "Rory, come out we need to talk to you. Rory, come out."

The door opened "What's going on out here?"

"Lorelai, we're sorry to interrupt your movie night but we need to see Rory."

"Steph, she's not here. She already left."

"What, we just had lunch with her and she said she wasn't leaving until tomorrow and that tonight was family movie night. Why would she lie to us? Lorelai we need to stop her there has been a horrible misunderstanding. Did the plane leave yet?"

"Stephanie, honey stop talking and breathe. Let's give Lorelai a chance to talk."

"Thanks Colin. Okay, I don't know why Rory told you she was leaving tomorrow. She decided to leave today since she changed her plans. She left after the lunch with you guys. As for stopping her, unless you're superman, that's not going to happen, the plane is in the air. Now tell me about this misunderstanding, I assume it's about Logan."

"Yes Love, it's about Logan. He doesn't have a girlfriend he hasn't even dated anyone since Rory came into his life. That's over two months and one of those months without her around. That's a record for him. He's in love with her, well he hasn't said that exactly but he told Steph that he was falling for her and if you ask me that's code for falling in love with her. "

"Thanks Finn for that commentary but let's get back to the subject." Colin stated. "What Finn is leaving out is that the girl that answered the phone that night was just another gold-digger thinking she had a chance with him. They weren't on a date, it was a business dinner. She was a staff member, Logan left his phone on the table when he went to the restroom, the phone rang she answered it and lied."

"Why didn't anyone tell Rory? She was really upset, she thought she had a chance with him, she was going to tell him how she felt when she saw him, until that phone call."

"Lorelai, I swear we just found out. She told us her side of the story and left soon after. When we finally got a hold of Logan she was already gone."

"Steph, I believe you. But we now need to come up with a plan. Is Logan coming back?"

"Yeah, his flight gets in 11:00 AM. Someone needs to call him and let him know."

"No, let him fly in and we'll explain our plan when he gets here."

"Lorelai, what's the plan?" Colin asked.

"No time to waste explaining, we need to get Mitchum and Shira here. We'll need to get in touch with the boys, they flew over with her, let's see what else. I think that's it for now. What are you all standing around for let's get going."

"Lorelai, one problem we don't know the plan." Colin stated again.

"Oh sorry, I guess you can't read my mind. Okay this is what we're going to do…."

Logan was tired; he took a nap on the plane but it wasn't restful. He kept going over in his mind everything he was going to say to Rory. He wanted to get it right, he just hoped that she would be willing to talk to him.

He got off the plane and in half an hour he was pulling into the Hayden driveway. To his surprise the driveway was packed with familiar vehicles. He walked up to the door and rang the bell.

Christopher answered "What are you doing here?" He knew what was going on but wanted to give Logan a hard time since he was pursuing his daughter.

"Sir, I mean Chris. I wanted a chance to talk with Rory."

"Why?"

There was a pause before Logan looked Christopher in the eyes. "I remember something you said to me when we spoke after dinner at the Gilmore's. You said that Gilmore girls are exclusive and you were lucky to find yours early in life and hold onto her. I didn't find Rory as early in life as you found Lorelai but I want the chance to be as lucky as you and get to hold onto my Gilmore Girl."

Chris looked and him and knew he was the one for Rory. He smiled at Logan and was about to tell him that in his mind Logan was perfect for Rory when Lorelai walked up. "Chris, stop grilling the boy we need to get this show on the road. Hi Logan, please come in we need to talk."

"Hi Lorelai, actually I was hoping to talk to Rory."

"She's not here she left for London yesterday." She saw his head drop in defeat. "Now pick up your head and follow us in. We, actually I, since it was my idea, have a plan for you to get your Ace."

He looked up with hope in his eyes. "You're not mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad at you?"

"I assumed you heard about what happened in Seattle and now me being here to talk to Rory, well I didn't think any Gilmore or Hayden would want to see me for a long time after."

"Logan, I know what happened. You have some great friends that explained everything."

"They're here?"

"Yes, along with your parents. Now stop asking questions and follow me in."
