Author's Note: Okay so if the accident got a little bit confusing it went something like this – the female was pulling out from the private drive of the Hartford Country Club. The private drive, HCC Drive, is connected to a main intersection. As the female was taking the bend in HCC Drive and preparing to stop at the intersection's red light, the Dodge came from the North and blew through the red light due to intoxication, and T-boned her driver's door, sending causing her car to flip across the road until it was stopped by the two oak trees that sit a little ways from the bend in the male's Dodge was stopped after hitting the Benz (although, I don't know if that's possible). Please, keep in mind I've only ever been in one accident, and it was just me and I don't remember ANY of it!

THE LONDON CHRONICLE

LONDON, ENGLAND – 3PM

23-year-old Logan Elias Huntzberger sat in his large office at The London Chronicle, one of the international papers belonging to his family's company, the Huntzberger Publishing Group. With a sigh, he looked at his black Hugo Boss watch, noticing that his girlfriend, Lorelai Leigh Gilmore III, was late for their scheduled time to talk. He sat back and smiled as his brown eyes automatically went to the picture of them that was displayed on his laptop background, it was a picture of them on their first Valentine's Day at Martha's Vineyard. They had arrived a day before her mother, Lorelai Gilmore II, and her mom's boyfriend at the time, Luke Danes, were supposed to arrive, and they had decided to walk along the beach at sunset after having a nice dinner earlier at a restaurant in town. He had asked an older couple, who were walking back to their house to take the picture and they had happily agreed, haven known Logan since he first started going to Martha's Vineyard and knowing by the look in his eyes, that the blue eyed, brunette beauty was special. The hues of purple, yellow, and orange and the deep, dark blue water made for the background while he and his girlfriend where front and center, her arms were wrapped tightly around his waist, her head was laying so her ear was pressed to his chest over his heart while facing the camera, as his arms were wrapped around her waist, tightly and protectively, and his head was laying upon hers, a true smile on his face as he too faced the camera.

Dressed the in the most beautiful and elegant lace cocktail dress with a dark blue sash around the waist, he had ever seen, and a pair of dark blue Louboutin's, and him in a pair of dark blue trousers and a white button up shirt, he always thought the picture resembled a wedding picture, as did many others who had seen the picture in his London office and had asked him about it. He would always tell them 'no not yet, just my girlfriend, but hopefully soon she'll be my fiancée', something that he had been thinking about since the moment he woke up in that damn hospital bed in Manhattan after the Costa Rica accident months ago.

Looking at his watch again, Logan sighed and thinking he might not get to talk to his beautiful girl again today, he started to get back to work only to have his cell phone vibrate on his desk, hoping that it wasn't another phone call from one of his friends, sister, or parents that he would have to screen so he wouldn't miss the call from his girl, he smiled upon seeing the screen light up with 'Ace'. Smiling brightly, he sat back in his chair and accepted the call, "Hiya Ace! You know you're late, missy, you're just lucky I didn't have to be in a meeting right now because –"

"Logan," a voice that was definitely not his Ace's said, interrupting him.

"Dad?" He asked shocked, sitting up straighter in his chair, "What are you doing with Ace's, I mean, Rory's phone? What's going on?"

"Son, the jet is waiting for you at Heathrow, fueled and ready to go," Mitchum Huntzberger told him, hesitating on telling his son as to why he had Rory's phone.

"No; now what's going on? Why do you have Rory's phone? Why is the jet waiting for me?"

"I have her phone because I know you would screen my calls and have the office do the same thing," Mitchum told him, "Listen, I didn't call to fight and why I would do that on your girlfriend's phone is beyond my understanding, but…"

"Yeah right," Logan snorted.

"Logan, damn it! I'm trying to tell you Rory got into a car accident!" Mitchum told him, his son's attitude getting to his already shot nerves.

"Wha…what?" Logan said his brown eyes going wide and instantly filling with tears, breathing catching in his throat, "Is she…Oh God…"

Mitchum sighed and said, "Son, you need to get to Hartford Memorial immediately. Don't worry about work. There's a car out front of the Chronicle to take you to Heathrow where the jet is already fueled and waiting. Once you land in Hartford, Frank will be waiting to bring you to the hospital. We'll see you soon. And Logan? I…I…I'm sorry, Son…and…and…and I love you, Son. Fly safe."

Logan stared wide-eyed in shock as the line went dead before kicking himself into gear. Grabbing just his cell phone and his laptop, he quickly put them in his briefcase before running out of the building leaving stunned and confused employees behind and into the waiting black SUV with only one thing running on a loop through his head: Please God, I can't live without her. Please let her be okay, please!


Well there it is, I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter to this story. I thought I'd take a leap of faith here in the Gilmore Girls X Rogan universe and change it up a bit. I know it's a bit short; originally this was part of the prologue, but I decided against it for some reason, and then there's still part of me that wants it to be a part of the prologue which is why they are being posted right after the other and why I think I ended the chapter the way I did. As you can see this takes places Post Partings (6x22), but also a few months past the said episode so, there are a few things that need explained:

- Francine will make an appearance in this and it will be explained in bits and pieces as the story unravels.

- Shira's, Mitchum's and Elias' attitude towards Rory, and Rory with Logan will unravel/be explained in the next chapter AND as the story progresses.

- I didn't remember Josh's last name or his profession - so I'm making his last name "Anderson" and I'm making him a doctor, so he's Dr. Josh Anderson - seeing as he and Honor are older than Rory and Logan and the others.

- Honor's middle name, Valerie, I came up with myself so, I'm sorry if you don't like it. I think it's pretty, but that's just me, plus I have a funny explanation that I'm going to work in the story about her middle name as well.

- Christopher and Lorelai's…uh…well, let's just say that relationship will be another thing that unravels in this story as well.

If I missed anything else, I'm sorry it will be, but be rest assured it will be explained/unraveled as the story progresses. Now, I don't know how this story is going to go, or what so let's just see shall we?

What do you say?

"The highway won't hold you tonight

The highway don't know you're alive

The highway don't care if you're all alone

But I do, I do.

The highway won't dry your tears

The highway don't need you here

The highway don't care if you're coming home

But I do, I do."
