The next day
"So what time are boys coming?" Rory asked
"I think they said around 2 or so." Logan said
"Ok, I can't wait for them to come, I don't think they've ever been here except that one-time you guys dropped me off after that Male Yale meet party grandma and grandpa threw for me." Rory said
"I think you might be right, well I'm sure they will fit in quite nicely. They are all crazy like this town." Logan said joking
"Haha, ya just a little." Rory giggled
"So is everything packed up and ready to be shipped?" Logan asked
"Yup, I just have all my pack my personals and makeup that I'm brining with me in my luggage." Rory said
"Alright, sounds good. Let's head to Luke's for coffee and I'll tell the boys to meet us there." Logan said
"Ok, sounds like a plan, how did you know I could use some coffee right about now?" Rory asked
"Well, I do know some things about you." Logan said
"That is true, I mean I don't think I could be engaged to someone who didn't know my little quirks." Rory said joking
"Good to know, ok let's get going." Logan said
"Lets." Rory said and they left the house and headed to Luke's
While walking to Luke's they bump into Lane who is out taking the twins for a stroll. They talk a bit about how she and the twins were doing and Rory explained how she quit the campaign trail and was working with Logan at his new company in California and that they're back together and engaged but weren't telling society and wanted to keep it quiet. Lane was happy that Rory was following her heart and was happier than she last had heard from her on the campaign trail. Logan said that they were meetings friends of theirs at Luke's and should be going but would definitely stop by again before they left. They all said their goodbye's and Lane was headed back home while Rory and Logan were headed to Luke's to wait for the boys to arrive.
Not even half an hour later, Logan gets a text from the boys asking where Luke's was. Once they found it they all got coffee to go and started walking around town chatting.
"Well, this is quite a lovely town love, why haven't we been here before?" Finn asked
"You boys were more interested in drinking and jumping off of things, than you were about me not joining you guys to come home to visit." Rory said jokingly
"Well, I am glad we are here now, its quite charming little town." Finn said
"That it is, and where everyone knows everyone and your business." Rory said
"So, its that kind of small town, hmm interesting." Colin said
"Interesting doesn't even cut it, your looking at the town's princess and the town that was divided by pink or blue ribbons when mom and Luke broke up." Rory said
"Well, I didn't know I was in the presence of Royalty, I must bow down to you princess. But really why ribbons? Why would they care about some guy your mom was dating?" Colin asked
"Yes, you must, they don't take to me being anything less than perfect. But Luke is the coffee and burger guy here and they've always had a fluttery thing for years until they decided to date and grandma got in the way, it was sad but funny. So, they had a town meeting about what to do and decided to split the town by ribbons." Rory said
"This is one strange town I will give you that. Definitely different than Hartford." Colin said
"Ya, but its home and you gotta love crazy sometimes." Rory said
"That you do and this is good crazy, not like Hartford crazy. You've got it good." Finn said
"Why don't we show you a couple places then have lunch at the Dragon fly?" Logan said
"Sure sounds good mate." Finn said and they walked and talked until they got to the dragon fly.
They walked around a bit and finally made it to the Dragon Fly. They walked in and Lorelai was right there at the counter checking someone in and came over after she was done. She was introduced to Finn and Colin properly and said she would let Sookie know that they were here and to bring out the best for them.
"So, how have things been going with you two?" Colin asks
"Good now that things are out in the open and we've talked about everything we didn't." Logan says
"Ya and we're keeping things quite on the society end, we aren't telling them we got back together nor are we telling them we are engaged." Rory said
"Ah, very well probably better this way anyways." Finn said
"Well good for you two, what are you going to do if they start setting Rory up? Cause I know you are done with Sr. Huntzberger." Collin said
"Well it's not like I'll be in town much right, I'll be in California with Logan so I'll just say no I'm busy or I'll say I have someone but I'm not ready for them to meet him yet." Rory said
"Oh, so you're really cutting them out. Wow you sure they won't find out?" Collin asked
"Ya, we're really cutting them out of what's happening, but I mean they could always find out but we are hoping they don't." Rory said
"Well, you two deserve it, I am curious as to how they would have reacted to you saying yes the first time and how the planning would have gone. I think this is definitely the better way to go." Finn said
"I don't even want to think of what would have happened, or what they would have said had I said yes the first time. I mean maybe it was the blessing disguise we needed but didn't know until now." Rory said
"I think everything went the way it was supposed to, I was more upset that you didn't want to get away with me but go off on your own." Logan said
"Well, I wanted too but I also wanted everyone to know me for my hard work and not just my last name or who I was." Rory said
"And you both probably hardly talked about it right? Sounds like Logan to drop the ball and get ahead of himself." Collin said
"Ya that too, but everything is great now and we are happy, so that's all that matters." Logan said
"Well good, so mom is the word and we'll tell Steph to keep her mouth shut as well." Collin and Finn said
"Ha ha, thanks guys. So, what do you think of Stars Hollow? Small enough for you?" Rory asked
"It's like hoping into a fairy tale, I can see why you like it but hate it at the same time." Finn said
"Totally, and everyone knowing your business is a little annoying. I get why you have to be careful of what you say and where. But it is quirky I'll say that." Collin said
"Exactly, so when do you guys head back? How much longer do we have you two for?" Rory asked
"Another 2 hours, so what else do you have to show us?" Finn and Collin asked
2 days later
All of Rory's things were packed up and Rory and Logan were getting ready to head to the airport to get back to Palo Alto.
They had made arrangements for Lorelai to come down and visit next month.
2 Weeks Later
They were back from Stars Hollow unpacking, it was during the next few months that they really go into a flow at home and work. Rory's birthday was coming up in a couple weeks and Logan was trying to set up a surprise for her in Stars Hollow. When he got a phone call from Honour saying he might get a call to attend some event in Hartford, he knew Honour was only telling him this because of the surprise he was planning for Rory and figured they didn't want to risk it. So, Logan re-planned everything for Palo Alto. He got everyone to fly out instead of meeting in Stars Hollow. Honour said she would try and get out of going to the event, so she could make it for Rory's surprise.
Logan was doing last minute details when he gets a text from Colin saying him, Finn and Steph were heading over.
Rory and Logan's house
Rory was just getting dressed for the day when the door bell rings. When she goes to open it, she's surprised to see Steph, Colin and Finn.
"Surprise!" they said
"What are you guys doing here?" Rory asked
"Well, you know any excuse to get away from a society event." Steph said
"Really, I'm surprised you all didn't get roped in." Rory said
"You think we would miss your birthday? Hell No! Not even an event can hold me from coming." Steph said
"Haha, well thanks for coming guys. Logan just went out to get something but come in." Rory said
