Chapter 2 – The Wake

After dragging Logan away from the redhead's dorm whose name was Rosemary, not short at all? Logan and Rory went back to Chloe's dorm. Chloe is busy getting ready for the dinner with Rory, whilst Logan is dressed and ready, watching Chloe rush around trying to get dressed.

Logan: Bon, relax we still have 30 minutes before we have to go meet Rory.

Chloe: I know that, but I'm not even close to being ready. Chloe takes on a thoughtful look.

When he sees the look on her face, Logan calls Chloe's name three times with no response, so he goes over and taps her on her shoulder. Chloe jumps up two feet in the air, but fortunately Logan catches her.

Logan: What's wrong?

Chloe: Why would there be anything wrong?

Logan: You spaced out for the last five minutes. I don't think that constitutes for being fine.

Chloe: I'm fine, Chloe says looking down.

Logan grabs her face in in the palms of his and looks directly into Chloe's eyes.

Logan: I know you and you're definitely not fine, now tell me. His intense gaze made her defences go crumbling down.

Chloe asks in an uncharacteristically small voice

Chloe: Do you like Rory?

Logan: She's fun to rile up. She's okay.

Chloe: No! I mean, do you like her, like her?

Logan: What! Where is this coming from? I barely know her and I am in love with my fiancée that I wouldn't swap for anyone.

Chloe: It's just that, the argument with her this afternoon was how we were before we started dating at all. It reminded me of those debates we had and how passionate we were about them. Mostly it reminds me of the banter that we had.

Logan: But with you, you don't react when goaded, you make it harder for me to win a debate. You must have seen the reactions I was pulling from her, they were funny. Plus we still have the banter, but now instead of you throwing a shoe at me I get a kiss in return. Let me make this clearly you silly beautiful girl, I am only interested in being with you forever.

Chloe's phone rings. Chloe looks at the caller ID.

Chloe: It's Rory.

Logan: Answer it then.

Chloe answers the phone.

Chloe: Hey. Are you ready for us to pick you up for dinner?

Rory: Hey. Listen about dinner, I can't make it?

Chloe: Why not. Lola, you promised you would give my friends a chance.

Rory: I can't, Paris needs me, for Asher's wake, tonight so rain check on dinner.

Chloe: Is there any way you can't sneak out for just dinner.

Rory: No, But I can meet Steph and Honor this weekend, bring them to movie night.

Chloe: Rory, I already am and don't you want to get to know the guys, you guys just got off on the wrong foot.

Rory: That's great, I'll see them there and I'll have to check my schedule to see when I'm free again.

Chloe: Fine.

Rory: Chlo, don't be mad.

Chloe: I'm not, I'll speak to you tomorrow Rory.

Rory: You kind of sound like you…. Rory was cut off by the dial tone.

Chloe smiles a sad smile and Logan hugs her.

Logan: She cancelled?

Chloe: Yes, I understand that she needed to support Paris tonight, but it feels like she will make an effort to try and get along with Honor and Steph but not want to spend time with you, Colin and Finn.

Logan: Bon, sweetheart; I'm not marrying Rory, I'm marrying you. If she loves you, even half the amount I love you then she will be civil towards me. The guys and I will try for you.

Chloe: Is it too much to ask for everyone to get along.

Logan: Life's not fair. So what's Rory helping Paris with tonight.

Chloe: They are holding a wake for Professor Asher Fleming. Uhh I should have known she would cancel, we saw her putting up posters earlier.

Logan: Fancy crashing a wake. Logan looks at Chloe with a huge smirk. Plus it will give you a chance to talk to Rory and clear the air.

Chloe: Uhh stop looking at me like that. Okay fine, but call Steph and the guys tell them dinner tonight is cancelled.

Logan: You call Steph, she actually likes you. I'll call the guys; tell them to meet us at the bar after going to the wake.

Chloe: Steph likes you too, but Steph loves me.

Chloe calls Steph.

/ Rory is in her dorm room. Rory tries phoning back Chloe and gets her voicemail. She leaves a message asking her to call her back. Paris walks into the room.

Paris: I need more candles.

Rory: Check my trunk; I think my mom put some in there. That's a lot of books you have there.

Paris: The fact that they had any in stock shows the sad nature of the reading habits of the American people. What's up with you?

Rory: Nothing Paris, Really.

Paris: Spit it out Gilmore, I don't have time for this.

Rory: I got into a fight with my cousin.

Paris: Really? I thought you guys were bffs forever.

Rory: It was just a huge misunderstanding and she might have taken some of my words the wrong way.

Paris: What did you say?

Rory: I kind of made it look like I dislike her friends; it's just that I don't see how she can be friends with people like that.

Paris: Like what?

Rory: The over-privileged silver spoon snobs from society.

Paris: Wow, Rory don't you think you are being a little bit judgemental and not everyone makes a good first impression like you so clearly do.

Rory: They were being mean to Marty.

Paris: Gilmore, your overreacting. Marty's a big boy, I'm sure he'll live. Just talk to your cousin. You guys will work it out and everything will be all sunshine and rainbows again.

/ Chloe phones Steph.

Chloe: Hey.

Steph: Hey girly, what's up?

Chloe: Do you know that dinner I invited you tonight?

Steph: The one where your best friend meaning me, gets to meet your cousin.

Chloe: Yea that one, Rory had to rain check the dinner, her friend needed her for something.

Steph: What's so important that she would cancel on such short notice?

Chloe: Her friend Paris needs her support in throwing a wake for Paris' late boyfriend Professor Asher Fleming. Logan and I are planning on stopping by. I really need to clear the air with her; we both need to adjust to both of us being on campus in the time period.

Steph: Do you need me to come with? I'll support if you need me Chlo.

Chloe: It's fine; just meet me after the wake at the bar with the guys and a shot of tequila ready for me.

Steph: Will do Hun. See you later sweetie. Love you.

Chloe: Me too and See you Hun.

/ Logan is on speakerphone with Colin and Finn at the same time.

Logan: So Rory cancelled…

Colin: Not very surprised there, Huntz.

Finn: Did the fiery Sheila give a reason why?

Logan: Yea, get this right, Rory's friend Paris is holding a wake for her dead professor boyfriend and is supporting her through her grief.

Finn: Is there booze at this shindig?

Colin: I doubt there will be any alcohol at this thing.

Logan: No there won't, it's basically a funeral. I know but I promised Bon, I would go with her to the wake, so she can talk to Rory. Plus after we go to the wake; we'll meet you guys at the bar afterwards.

Finn: Is Little One, okay?

Colin: Yea is our Princess, doing okay?

Logan: You know Bon; she's putting on a brave face. She's just worried about how her family will react to us getting married.

Colin: Hey, Won't both of yours and Princesses grandparents and parents approve of the pairing. I mean for god's sake you're the Huntzberger heir and she's the Hayden heiress.

Logan: It's not them. They would absolutely approve, its Rory's Mom and Dad, her Aunt Lorelai and Uncle Chris' reaction to the news of us getting married.

Finn: Logan Elias Huntzberger, are you an idiot?

Logan: No Finn, I am not. What the hell are you talking about? Are you drunk?

Colin: What our friend is trying to get through that thick skull to yours is that do you really think Chloe would let what her family thinks of her life choices affect her in any way. Basically Chlo knows her own mind and what she wants and doesn't let others dictate how she lives her life.

Finn: What Colin said. So stop stressing. No I'm not drunk, Colin here, decided to be funny and hide the liquor from me.

Colin: Finn, It's still early and we are meeting at the bar later so you can wait until then. We'll see you at the bar later with Steph. Bye Logan.

Finn: See ya later mate.

Logan: Bye guys.

Logan and Chloe hang up at the same time.

Logan: You ready to go. Chloe nods yes. Chloe and Logan get their keys out of Rory's dorm room.

Meanwhile Chris, Lorelai and Gigi are having a family night and after having dinner at Luke's, they then go to attend the local meeting. Whilst they are walking out of Luke's, Emily calls Lorelai to talk about Richard leaving the house at 7.30pm. Lorelai ends the call be saying she had to get to a town meeting.

/ Rory and Paris dorm room. Paris is greeting people in. There are lots of books everywhere.

Paris: Thanks for coming. Please take a book.

Marty walks in after the boys and heads straight to Rory.

Marty: Hey.

Rory: Hi.

Marty: Interesting crowd.

Rory: Yeah, Most people here don't know it's a wake. They assume it's a weird theme party. I've spent all night trying to get people to stop calling Asher "The old dead dude".

Marty: Does Paris know?

Rory: Paris, thank goodness is Paris. Marty nods.

Paris comes over.

Paris: Hey, Marty thanks for coming and feel free to help yourself to a book.

Rory: The wake seems to be running smoothly.

Paris: It is. Paris says looking around. I'm very happy with the turnout. I knew he was beloved, but this is overwhelming. Paris gestures around her.

Rory quietly gestures for Marty to get rid of the people bringing in a keg.

Paris: You know, it's funny, but Asher died right at the height of my passion for him. I kind of wonder what would have happened if he had lived. Would I have stayed in love with him forever?

Rory: I don't know, Paris.

Paris: He died before I could find out. I'll probably always be in love with him. He's my Mike Todd.

Rory hugs Paris in comfort.

/ Lorelai and Chris and Gigi are busy listening to an argument between Andrew and Gypsy when Lorelai's phone starts ringing. Lorelai steps outside to take the call.

Lorelai: Hello?

Emily: Your Father came home at 8.30pm this evening; he went inside the pool house for5 minutes and then got back in his car and drove away again.

Chris looks at Lorelai with a questioning expression. Lorelai mouths "my mother" Chris nods his head and returns to the meeting.

Lorelai: Mom, this isn't a good…

Emily: Running around all over the place, at all hours of night.

Lorelai: Uh Huh, Mom, Where are you, you sound so far away.

Emily: Park Road.

Lorelai: Park Road, why?

Emily: I'm not going to be the one that sits at home in the dark like an Italian widow. If he can go out, then so can I, so I'm out.

Lorelai: Well, that's great Mom.

Emily: I thought I would have dinner, I already had dinner. But if Richard is having two dinners, then I can have two dinners, so I went to a place I used to eat at when I was in college. Do you know what was there instead? It's a "Lube and Tune" with an X-Rated T-Shirt store next door.

Lorelai: Mom, This is silly. Why don't you go home?

Emily: I'm not going to get back first.

Lorelai: Well, How long are you going to be driving around?

Emily: Until I'm sure your Father is home. Let him worry where I've been. Lorelai sees Christopher gesturing her to come back inside.

Lorelai: Look, Can't really talk now.

Emily: But, I'm not done.

Lorelai: I'll call you later.

Emily: I could be dead later.

Lorelai: Call your friends.

Emily: No one else knows about the separation apart from you and Rory.

Lorelai: I'm sorry, Mom, I'm kind of busy right now.

Emily: This is important. Meet me for coffee.

Lorelai: I can't do this right now and Rory's just moved in and she's getting settled, so if you cannot talk to your friends, we are going to have to continue his later.

Emily: Fine.

Lorelai ends the call.

/ Rory is busy comforting Paris, whilst she is doing this, Chloe and Logan walk in. Logan goes to get drinks. Chloe walks over to Paris and Rory.

Chloe: Hey Lola, Paris.

Rory looks up surprised to see Chloe.

Paris: Hello Chloe, thank you for coming. It's nice to know I have so much support around me. Grab a book. Paris gets up and hugs a surprised Chloe. I hope we can be friends. Chloe nods dumbly while Paris walks away and then looks to Rory.

Rory: Min, What are you doing here.

Chloe: Well Lola, I heard there was a Party here and you know how much I love a Party.

Rory: I doubt this is your scene, so tell me why you and Logan are really here. Chloe sighs and sits down next to Rory.

Chloe: Okay, fine I wanted to talk to you about earlier.

Rory: You mean the phone call where I cancelled our dinner plans, which was not my fault because Paris needed me and you hung up on me.

Chloe: Yea, that. I kind of overreacted and jumped to conclusions.

Rory: Yes you did, but I made you misunderstand what I meant.

Chloe: Can we agree to disagree to this? I just want us to be okay again. So can we move on from this?

Rory: Of Course Minnie, I'm sorry about dinner and whenever you want me to hang out with your friends, let me know so I can free up my schedule.

Chloe: I'm sorry too. That would be great Lola. Chloe hugs Rory. Rory, Not that, I'm not pleased to see you here at Yale, but I thought Harvard was the plan. I know you told me on the phone last year, you were going to Yale. You never really explained how you changed your mind?

Rory: Yale won in the Pro-Con list.

Chloe: You still do those lists. Logic can't be the only factor when making a big decision like this.

Rory: I know that but going to Yale was the right decision for me. My mom is close by and you are here this year and the classes are the ones I'm interested in.

Logan walks over Rory and Chloe looking stressed with drinks in his hand.

Logan: Help! Save me from the crazy woman.

Rory: Paris?

Logan: Yes, but how did you know.

Rory goes to answer But Chloe beats her to it.

Chloe: She's psychic. Rory nods.

Logan: She yelled at me and gave me the Spanish Inquisition. Paris is very intense.

Chloe: You're right about that.

Rory: Paris, kind of grows on you. So Logan didn't think a wake would be your scene.

Logan: It isn't, but Chloe needed to talk to you and she asked me to come with her here.

Rory: Okay… So long have you and my cousin been dating.

Logan: We have known each other since middle school. But because we went to different boarding schools, we only started dating halfway through our senior year. So four years.

Chloe: Almost four. We may have had our fair share of fights, at the end of the day we love each other and we are ready for marriage. Logan nods to say he agrees.

Rory: Wow!, You guys seem so sure, For what it's worth, I'm happy for you, but Huntzberger you hurt her and torture will be the least of your concern.

Logan: Uh huh. Thank you Rory and I would never want to hurt my Bonnie. Rory nods her head in approval.

Chloe: So Lola, see any one you have your eye on?

Rory: Not really no, I just want to concentrate on school and the paper.

Chloe: Oh okay if that's what you want. Hey speaking of the Yale Daily News. Turning to look at Logan. Are you going to avoid the newsroom this year?

Logan: Not if I can help it, but I think, Daddy dearest will try to get me to step foot in the newspaper offices.

Rory: Wait, you work at the paper as well. Rory looks at Logan for confirmation. But Chloe beats him to it.

Chloe: We both work at the paper; Logan only writes when his dad pushes him or when he's sick. I only write when I get a good assignment from Doyle or if I'm in a writing mood.

Rory: I already know about Logan's involvement on the paper from Doyle. So we'll be working together on the paper, Min?

Chloe: Probably, but you won't see me in the news room much, I write most my articles at home. I only go in to the news room do research for the articles.

Logan: Pretty much, so you're a writer Rory?

Rory: Yes, I am. I worked on my high school paper at Chilton and I have been working on the Yale Daily news since last year.

Logan: I shall call you Ace from now on. He looks at Rory.

Rory goes to protest but Chloe chimes in.

Chloe: By Ace, he means Ace reporter and he gesturing to Logan, he gives nicknames to friends and family. Lola you're my family, which Logan automatically calls his family.

Meanwhile, Lorelai sits down next to Chris and fills him in on the conversation with Emily. Then a thought occurs to Lorelai and Chris looks at her concerned, whilst she frantically calls Rory.

Logan and Chloe are busy telling Rory stories about their adventures, suddenly, her phone starts ringing.

Rory looks apologetically at Chloe and Logan and answers the phone.

Rory: Hello?

Lorelai: I'm sorry; I'm sorry, sorry and sorry.

Rory: For what? Mom, Chloe and I are hanging out, can we talk later?

Emily: Rory, Chloe.

Startled hearing Emily's voice Rory and Chloe both turn. Emily is standing in the doorway.

Rory: Grandma.

Chloe: Aunt Emily.

Lorelai: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Chloe whispers to Logan telling him, that's Emily Gilmore, Rory's grandmother. Logan nods and smartly stays out of the conversation.

Emily walks around and looks around asks what is going on here?

Rory: I have to hang up now.

Lorelai: Have I mentioned I'm sorry.

Rory: Bye. Well, this is a surprise.

Chloe: Yes it is. Hello Aunty Em.

Emily: Hello dear, I simply had to get out of the house and your mother told me you were home, so I thought I'd come by and say hello. Chloe dear, I didn't know you were back at Yale this year, Francine didn't say a word, but it's good to see you, maybe you could join Friday night dinner, Rory and Lorelai will both be there and you'll be able to see your Uncle Richard. Emily looks around, why are there pictures of Asher Fleming everywhere?

Rory: This is a wake for Professor Fleming. He died.

Emily: Looking irritated. You'd think your grandfather could have mentioned that to me, but no. I bet he'll make me go to that insufferable man's funeral, though.

Chloe: Aunt Emily, Please don't speak so loud.

Rory: He was cremated.

Emily sees Logan sitting next to Chloe and looks to Chloe to answer.

Emily: Thank God for that. Chloe, dear who is this young man you're seated with?

Chloe: Umm… Aunt Emily, this is my boyfriend Logan Huntzberger. Chloe gestures to Logan and gestures back to Emily and say's this is Emily Gilmore. My cousin Rory's Grandma and my godmother.

Logan greets Emily politely.

Logan: Pleasure to meet you, Mrs Gilmore.

Emily: Oh, the pleasure is all mine and please call me Emily. Emily looks at Chloe and whispers in her ear that she approves of her choice in boyfriend and that my family would approve as well.

As Emily looks around once more, Paris rushes over and hugs Emily.

Paris: Emily! It means so much to me that you came.

Emily: Well, yes. Asher was very committed to his students. Paris starts crying. Oh, now, there's no need to cry. Yale is full of excellent teachers. Emily and Paris sit down and Emily comforts Paris. Marty approaches Rory with two plastic cups.

Chloe: Hey, Marty. Logan waves.

Marty: Hi Chloe, Logan. Root beer? He offers to Rory.

Rory takes one. Rory: Yeah. Thanks Marty, for everything. You've been such a huge help tonight.

Chloe and Logan each get a text from Steph and Colin asking them, if they are still joining them at the pub. Chloe and Logan share a look and say yes. Chloe looks towards Rory.

Chloe: Hey Lola, do you mind me, leaving the wake early. We promised Steph and the guys we'd meet them at the pub.

Rory: No I don't mind. The wake is wrapping up; you don't need to be here. I'll look after Paris and everything here. Go, I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Chloe: You sure?

Rory: Yes and take your guy with you. Rory smiles at Logan and Chloe.

Logan: See you around. Chloe hugs Rory.

Chloe: I promise I'll call you tomorrow.

Logan then grabs Chloe by her waist and carries her out bridal style and rushes out of the room.

/ Rory looks shocked what just happened and looks at Marty confused. She looks down at her root beer and remembers the conversation she was having with the Marty.

Rory: Hey Marty, thanks again for helping tonight.

Marty: For you, anything. Hey, Rory?

Rory: Hmm?

Marty: Do you… I mean how come you don't have a… do you have a boyfriend? You cousin obviously does.

Rory: What?

Marty: I'm just curious. You just don't mention anyone. There's no one here you seem to be here with, apart from your cousin and her guy, so I was just wondering what the deal was.

Rory: I don't know.

Marty: You… okay. So, what exactly does that mean…? "I don't know"?

Rory: I don't know.

Marty: Okay. I mean, "because that's usually the kind of thing you know."

Rory: I know.

Marty: So you don't know. Okay.

Rory: Um, will you excuse me for a minute, Marty?

Marty: Sure.

Rory walks out of the dorm room, picking up her purse as she exits. Emily and Paris are talking on the sofa.

Emily: And then he just takes off out of nowhere at 7:30 at night. A young man hands Emily a drink. Thank you, Thomas. I'll need a napkin.

/ Rory pulls up outside Dean's parents' house. Rory walks up to the front door and knocks. After what feels like forever, the door opens. Dean is shocked to see Rory. They look at each other for a few seconds and then lets her in. The door closes behind them.

/ Logan and Chloe are walking and talking about the events of the day on their way to the bar.

Logan: So…

Chloe: So what?

Logan: I think Rory will make an effort to be civil, maybe even friends with me.

Chloe: I'm pleased about that. I'm kind of glad Steph and Colin texted us when they did.

Logan: Why is that Bon?

Chloe: Its two things. The first is that the wake was a little depressing and I felt a bit uncomfortable being there.

Logan: And the second. Logan pressed.

Chloe: It looked like we were about to witness an awkward conversation between Rory and Marty.

Logan: How so?

Chloe: Clyde, Honey we both know that Marty wants to be more than friends with Rory.

Logan: I still don't understand what you're getting at?

Chloe: He wants to know what her deal is and I don't think she knows. Rory is only going to want to be friends with Marty and after tonight he'll know that, he has no chance with her.

Logan looks thoughtful. Logan: Is there an ex-boyfriend, she's still have feelings for?

Chloe: Yes, his name is Dean. He was her first boyfriend; remember I told you all about what happened last summer?

Logan: Yes, How she lost her virginity to her married ex-husband and then ran away to Europe with Emily. Then sent a letter which broke up the marriage and she hasn't spoken to him since.

Chloe: So you remember. Good because I kind of promised Aunt Lore to keep him away from her. To prevent them from getting back together, but the look on Lola's face tonight, I'm worried she will get back together with him.

Logan: I can see how that would be bad, but Rory is a grown woman and she has to make her own decisions and mistakes. But she might not.

Chloe: Fine, but I'm scheming if they get back together.

/ Logan and Chloe walk into the pub and are greeted with hugs from Steph, Colin, Finn and surprisingly Honor.

Chloe: Hey guys, Honor what are doing here. I thought you'd be in New York.

Steph silently hands over a shot of tequila to Chloe and Chloe downs in one. No one is surprised at this action and continues as if nothing has happened.

Honor: I postponed, I decided to stay on until next week. Josh can survive another week without me. Plus Steph texted me, saying we are celebrating Logan and Chloe's engagement and I certainly didn't want to miss the fun.

Steph: Chlo, Just wondering, how you guys set a date yet? She looks inquiringly at Logan and Chloe.

Logan: Steph, We only just got engaged!

Steph: Logan, Have you only just met your fiancé because even if you are newly engaged, I know my best friend and I know that, she already knows when she wants to get married, right Chlo. Steph looks at Chloe.

Everyone looks at Chloe in anticipation.

Chloe: Steph, I kind of wanted to ask Logan's opinion before deciding and setting the wedding date.

Steph: Oh, Oops!

Honor: Yea, oops! Chloe glares at both Steph and Honor and they both look sheepishly at Chloe.

Logan: Bon, Why don't you tell me first? And we will talk about which day we prefer and decide now, since Steph wants to know now. So you guys need to give us some time to ourselves while we talk.

Honor understands and walks back to their table but Steph goes to protest but Colin and Finn, push her back towards their table. Chloe and Logan get drinks and grab a table by themselves.

Chloe: So… bet you didn't expect to be setting the wedding date today.

Logan: No I didn't, why didn't you tell me you were thinking about setting the date.

Chloe: I was scared you'd think I was trying to push you into marriage too soon.

Logan looks Chloe's sad smile and takes her hand.

Logan: Chloe, I love you and if it was someone else but you, I would have thought that, but I know that I want to marry you as soon as possible. I'm ready for this step with you and plus we have been dating since Senior year.

Chloe: I love you too, Hun and can I make a confession?

Logan: Go ahead, is it bad of me, for hoping it's a dirty secret?

Chloe: Well Yeah, But you wouldn't be you if you didn't think that. Remember, the night you proposed, I thought you were going to ask me to move in with you.

Logan: I thought about doing just that, but I didn't think it would be enough, so I thought about proposing and the more I thought about it, the more, right it felt for me to ask you. Why don't you move in with me now, anyway we are getting married anyway and you practically live at my place so why don't we?

Chloe: Slow down buster, let's just set the wedding date and then we will talk about when I'll move in with you. So I'm thinking Early Spring, sometime in March. Any day in the first week is fine with me.

Logan: How about 4th March?

Chloe: That day is perfect and with the moving in thing, I live with Steph and I will have to talk to her about me moving out.

Logan: So 4th March, that's just about 6 months away, do you think we'll have enough time planning?

Chloe: No you mean, will my mother, both grandmothers, my bridal party, the wedding planner and me have enough time to plan?

Logan: That's what I mean. But you think we should put the others out of their misery.

They look over at their friends see them looking anxiously over at Logan and Chloe's table. Chloe nods her head and walks over with Logan trailing behind her.

Finn: Hey Little One, Mate.

Colin: Princess, Huntz.

Honor: Little Bro, Future Sis.

Logan: Hey guys, Steph, Honor.

Steph: Chlo, Logan, just tell us what you have decided.

Chloe: Hello to you too, Steph.

Colin: Princess, She won't stop pestering you until you tell her she wants to hear. You know Steph, she's like a dog with a bone when she wants to know something.

Steph: Hey, I'm not that bad!

They all look at Steph with raised eyebrows and she puts her hands up as if to surrender.

Chloe and Logan sit down in between Steph and Colin. They look at each other as if to ask "do you want to or should I".

Chloe: Ugh fine I will, Logan and I have set a wedding date.

Steph: Just tell us already.

Honor: The date, Just tell us the date.

Logan: Save the date, 4th March because me and my Bonnie are getting hitched on this day.

Both Honor and Steph start squealing and rushed to hug Chloe.

Colin: Congrats Huntz.

Finn: Now I know that date, I can start planning the bachelor party accordingly.

Chloe scowled at what Finn had just said.

Chloe: Finn, I'm thinking some limitations should be put on what happens on the bachelor party.

Finn: But Little One!

Chloe: No, Don't you dare try to get around me that way. Strippers I'm fine with because I'll probably have some at my Bachelorette party right, Steph, Honor. Seeing both of their nods, Chloe continues but I won't have you doing something that will injure, maim his face or kill my fiancée a couple of days or weeks before our wedding.

Colin: Princess, Don't worry I'll make sure Finn doesn't go overboard. Finn looks almost offended at that comment.

Logan: You're having strippers at your Bachelorette Party?

Honor: Why can't she? You're probably having some at yours if Finn gets his way. So why the double standard?

Logan: She's my fiancée and I don't want some guy stripping for her.

Steph: Logan it's just a little bit of fun. Chlo loves you, she wants to marry you and be with you for the rest of her life.

Chloe kisses Logan on the cheek to emphasize Steph's point.

Chloe: Finn, just make sure he isn't physically injured and make sure he gets to all events on time and other than you have free rein on the Bachelor party.

Colin: Princess, you don't know what you have just done. Colin mock gasps.

Finn: Thanks, love your faith in me.

Honor: How about a change of topic now?

Logan: Thank you Honor.

Chloe: So what's new with you guys? Anything new. Steph seeing anyone.

Steph: I'm not seeing anyone, right now, I'm still looking for the right guy to whisk me off my feet, like Logan did with you.

Honor: Josh and I are fine as we are, but when Mother and Father find out about your engagement, Mom will ask why I'm not engaged or married yet and what's taking Josh so long to ask?

Finn: I'm still waiting for the lovely Rosemary to finally give into my charms and go out with me.

Chloe: You know that once everyone finds out. Your Mom, Honor, Steph and my mom are going to drive me crazy with wedding plans. Turning to Logan with a questioning glance.

Logan: What?

Chloe: Instead of all of this wedding drama, want to elope. Chloe looks hopefully at Logan.

Honor/Steph: No!

Logan: I would love to Bon, but it would kill your grandmother Francine and my Grandpa and your Mother and mine would never let us live this down and they would guilt us into an even bigger wedding because we ran away and eloped, having been prevented from giving us the wedding they imagined us having.

Chloe: Fine. Chloe pouts. But I still have to ask Rory to be my maid of honour.

Chloe looks around and realises that Colin has been uncharacteristically quiet.

Chloe: Colin you've been uncharacteristically quiet tonight, so anything new with you?

Logan: Yea, Colin, what's going on with you?

Colin: Nothing, really the same old, same old stuff.

They continue talking and drinking for the rest of the night. Chloe notices that Steph and Colin are sneaking glances at each other and silently communicates with Honor to come up with a plan to get Steph and Colin together.

/ Chloe is on the phone to Lorelai revealing her concerns about Rory. Chloe also warns her that despite her attempts that Rory might get back together with Dean and there might not be anything they can do to stop it. Chloe tells her that if this happens she'll have to be supportive otherwise she would lose her relationship with Rory.

Lorelai: Hey!

Chloe: Hello, Chloe's Exotic Dancers, Chloe speaking.

Lorelai: Hey, I was just wondering what kind of dancers you offer at your esteemed establishment.

Chloe: We offer wide range in nationality. We recently acquired some Australian exotic dancers.

Lorelai: Ooh it's a toughie now that you just said that. I'll order some Aussies.

Chloe: Okay if that will be all. So, if were done with this it, Can we talk about why you are calling me so late? Aunt Lo.

Lorelai: I was wondering if you got settled in at Yale and was wondering how you dealt with my mother's surprise visit?

Chloe: I settled in fine, I caught up with friends, I met up with Rory, I was introduced to Rory's naked guy and I got all unpacked. Rory and I didn't really have a chance to talk to Emily because she arrived in the middle of a wake and spent most of the evening ranting about Uncle Richard and comforting Paris on her dead boyfriend.

Lorelai: So a normal day at Yale then, Lorelai jokes. So you met Rory's naked guy, what did you think of him? That's a relief my mother didn't torture you both.

Chloe: He's nice and she invited me to Friday night dinner.

Lorelai: Who?

Chloe: Your mother.

Lorelai: Well, what did you say? Please tell me you said no. You actually have a choice in going Rory and I don't.

Chloe: I didn't say anything and before you start lecturing me, she walked off before I could answer.

Lorelai: Okay, okay, so how did the distracting Rory go?

Chloe: Not well, she clashed with some of my friends and gave no interest in any other guys. Says she wants to concentrate on school and the paper.

Lorelai: Wait, isn't that a good thing.

Chloe: No, it isn't, it means that she still hasn't got over Dean yet and I think she's been thinking about him.

Lorelai: How to you know that?

Chloe: The look on her face, when I asked her if she saw any cute boys that she liked the look of.

Lorelai: You think, Dean and Rory are going to get back together.

Chloe: Yes, that's what I think might happen, in the next week or two. You know what you'll have to do if this happens.

Lorelai: Yea, I know, reluctantly, accept their relationship or I will lose my daughter over some guy. I promised myself no man would come between me and my daughter.

Chloe: Listen, are we still on for this weekend? We can find out what's going on with Rory then.

Lorelai: Yes we are, are you still bringing your friends with you to move night this weekend?

Chloe: Yes, I am. Looking at the clock on the dorm room and said listen Aunt Lo, it's getting late and I have an early class tomorrow. Do you mind me speaking to tomorrow?

Lorelai: That's fine, I still have to phone Rory. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Chloe: Night, Aunt Lo. Lorelai: Night sweetie.

Chloe hangs up. Suddenly her phone starts vibrating. Seeing her Mom's name on the caller ID, Chloe presses ignore and snuggles up to a sleeping Logan on the bead, who automatically adjusted his position on the bed for her, with his arms wrapped around her. Logan sleepily kisses the crown of Chloe's head and places his on top of her head.
