"Why did you bring a camera?" Logan asked as he opened the passenger side door for Rory to get in. They had stopped at the apartment and both changed into more comfortable shoes.
Rory smiled a little sheepishly, as she got into the car and answered his question. "I thought it would be nice to get some new pictures for that photo album."
"So, no more crying over the photo album?" Logan asked before shutting the door after her and then making his way to the drivers seat and getting behind the wheel.
"Well I can't promise that there won't be any more tears, but if there are some they'll be happy."
"I can handle that." Logan said with a grin as he started the car and pulled away from the curb.
The drive to Yale took a couple hours, the travel time extended by a stop at a greasy looking truck stop where Rory got the biggest pile of chili fries either of them had ever seen.
Logan pulled up in front of the school they had both attentded early in the afternoon, and glanced over to see the look of wonder on Rory's face. She was like that about places she held close to her heart, no matter how many times she had been there, a part of her was still in awe. It was a trait that Logan had always admired about the brunette.
"It hasn't changed a bit." Rory said as they snaked around campus to the visitors parking lot.
"I actually haven't been back since your graduation." Logan admitted as he found a parking spot and pulled in.
"I came back after Grandpa died, they wanted to name a wing after him and someone in the family had to be here."
Logan raised an eyebrow as he unbuckled his seatbelt. "I didn't know Richard had a wing named after him." He paused to laugh, "That would of torn Mitchum apart. For all the things he did. He never got anything at a college named after him."
"Grandpa would of been happy that he one upped a Huntzburger, even in death." Rory teased morbidly as they got out of the car.
As if it was the most natural thing in the world, the pair connected at the trunk end of the car, and interlaced their fingers holding hands as they headed towards campus.
"We can go by Branford, and then the library and of course the gift shop." Logan teased. "I know Gilmore's can't go anywhere without stopping at the gift shop.
Rory laughed as she teetered onto her tippy toes and planted a kiss on Logan's cheek. "They might have new can cosies, or sweaters. Or baby clothes. Never too early to buy the baby Yale clothes."
Logan chuckled. "We can't be those parents. We can't force him or her to go to a college just because we went there."
"Of course not. "Rory said then laughed. "But we can nudge little one in the right direction." she said with a grin as they wove their way through the students mingling in groups scattered throughut campus.
"Man, nothing makes you feel old quite like being around a bunch of college kids." Logan muttered as they passed into the courtyard in front of Branford Hall.
Rory playfully jabbed her boyfriend in the ribs and teased. "That's because you are old Logan."
"If I'm old so are you." He teased right back as they paused in front of the benches and took in their surroundings.
"Not true. I'm a year younger." She laughed.
In responde Logan just stuck his tongue out. Rory laughed and sat on the bench that they had paused in front of. After a few moments she looked up at Logan, and smiled. "I spent a lot of time reading here."
Logan lowered himself down next to her and put his arm around her. "That doesn't surprise me. it seems like a very Rory place to study. Unlike that tree that you paid twenty bucks to sit at."
Rory laughed. "I can't believe you remember that story."
Logan smiled softly. "I remember a lot of what you told me. All your stories are important to me, because they are a part of who you are."
Rory was touched, when they had parted ways after the night of drinking, dancing and rooftop golf she had remained sentinmental about all things Logan, even though she tried not to be. But she was a little surprised to find out how much he had been. It was a side of Logan she had never really seen, at least not as as strongly as she was now. Over the last couple of days she had really started to see how much Logan had always cared for her. She put her hand on the side of his face and kissed him deeply.
Pulling back with a goofy grin on his face he asked. "What was that for?" he paused "Not that I'm complaining or anything."
"Just for being you." Rory said. They sat for a few more minutes before Logan stood up and pulled Rory up with him.
"Next stop, the library" Logan said as he started leading her in the direction of one of the many libraries on campus. "We can relive you smelling books." 'he teased playfullly.
