Thanks for all the reviews guys, who you are too kind for those of you who just subscribe to my story I want to hear from you too. Like what makes you want to get weekly updates from me, because I have more subscribers then reviewers. The last chapter between the fight of Jess and Logan I had issues with I did not want to have a rerun of the S3 keg fight between Dean and Jess. Logan even in 2004 would be more mature then they were to do that. I still do not think it turned out the way I wanted it in my head, so I am sorry for that.

Rory found herself on a living room table in some weird apartment. This was not hers she thought neither was the Renaissance coarse reader on the table with notes, and yellow and pink highlighters. Why was she studying she was not in school? She took another glance at her surroundings. There was a huge kitchen, and a large living room with a telescope, a knight, and pool table. The apartment had a strange masculine feel oh god did she get drunk and sleep at some guys apartment. Some upper middle class guy the apartment appeared to be fancy too. Rory glanced out the window and gasped outside was the old campus of Yale. What was she doing in New Haven? Did her mother conspire with her grandparents to bring her back to Yale; this would explain the fancy apartment. However, what about the pool table and all the masculine stuff, she doubted Emily Gilmore would put a pool table in an apartment. She looked outside again, and saw snow glistening in the streets this was weird and impossible never snowed in August. She then realized that she was in some other dimension or time. Rory went to check how the bathroom in this universe looked, nice she thought with a glass on the bathtub for privacy. Rory gasped when she looked into the full-length mirror her hair was longer and she had bangs. Her outfit was also more stylish than what she usually wore. She apparently was some fashionable alternate universe Rory suddenly heard a door open. Rory went to the living room where she saw Logan coming through. What was Logan doing here, was he in the alternate universe too? "Still, studying me sees I got you some coffee and cookies it's not from Luke's, but it's from the coffee cart our special place."

Instead of asking Logan what he was doing here, she simply said. "My hero" she did not know why it seemed now that her words and thoughts were now of the alternate universe Rory.

"So I guess you owe me a proper thank you." Logan said seductively.

"What are you talking about you brought coffee out of the goodness of your own heart?"

"I know, but then I realized that I never thanked my beautiful girlfriend, for being editor of the paper."

Wow she and Logan was an alternate universe couple and she was editor of a paper. Which paper she would have asked if her mind was not possessed by this weird Rory. "No you have not I guess we both been naughty."

She moved closer to Logan, and Logan put his arm around her they were warm and safe just as she remembered. "First I want to say that I am proud of you, not just for the paper. But for being this amazing girl, which I am proud to call my girlfriend. "

Rory felt her entire body turn to potty Jess never said anything like that to her. "Aw, Logan I proud your my boyfriend too."

"Really?"

"Yeah enough mushy, lets get it on." Wow, this was quite a different person she had a confidence and forwardness that she did not have before.

"As you wish" Logan said just as he put his lips on her. His kiss was like the taste of sweet champagne that one could not get enough of. Their kiss started out gentle and then became more intense with desire. Logan lowered her to the pool table and his fingers caressed her skin underneath her shirt. Rory started to unbutton his shirt in a fast motion, her alternate dimension self felt the need to see that boy shirtless, suddenly Rory heard this annoying ring.

Rory woke up, this could not be happening, she had dreamed of being in a relationship with Logan and almost had sex with him. Rory looked at her cell that had interrupted her sleep Logan again. She felt sad about neglecting him, but she knew that she could not have him questioning her about Jess. Moreover, she did not need to have any more dreams like the one she just had.

Colin, and Finn were at Logan's apartment, but Logan was not focusing all his attention on them. Logan knew that he should be spending the last night of the weekend with Colin and Finn who were leaving tomorrow. However, he kept trying to call Rory, but her phone kept going straight to voice mail. Logan wanted to know if she was all right after the confrontation on Friday night. She looked so broken afterwards, Logan hated Jess for doing this to her. Logan had left her eight messages and did not want to leave anymore.

"Logan I swear your fridge is ten times worse then Juliet's at least she has diet coke to mix with vodka. Logan, Logan?"

"Logan can you please put the phone down? I swear one more phone call, and the girl will think you are a stalker.'' Colin piped in.

"I can't help it after seeing what a jerk her boyfriend is I want to make sure she is okay."

"Are you sure you don't think he is a jerk just because you're jealous of him?" Colin asked because he had never seen Logan this concerned about a girl.

"For heaven sakes no, I do not have feelings for her. Second, I am not jealous of that person; I do not want to be that person. He makes Tony Moreno in Saturday Day Night Fever look like a saint. "

"Yikes, that bad no wonder she does not believe in love." Finn said,

"Why is she not calling me back? Did something happen to her."

"Oh man you're worse than my sister Loupe when she has a crush on someone."

"Dude, did you just compare Logan to a fifteen year old girl."

"Well, he is acting like one. "Finn joined Colin in laughing.

Logan found himself not amused by his friends' antics. "Enough guys, this is serious I do not know how to reach her."

"Well, man I do not know the mind of females but I bet if Rosemary and Juliet were here they would tell you to give her time."

"Yeah, for once Finn is talking sense."

"Hey, I resent that."

Logan knew they both had a point. "Well time sucks."

"So does the sun."

They all drank in silence not knowing what to say.

August.12.2004

Rory had been trying to avoid Logan all morning; she kept doing every random task assigned to her. Rory was now walking to give Casey some paper, and suddenly she saw Logan. Her heart stopped when she remembered how it had been like to touch him and kiss him in her dream. However, the dream did not mean she had feelings for Logan as she reminded her self for the hundred times. It was only her longing for a considerate boyfriend.

"Ace is you okay?"

"I am fine Logan"

That was odd Logan thought her reply was very tense as though she wanted nothing to do with him.

"So lunch"

"I am sorry Logan, but I am very busy today." Rory walked past him without looking back. Logan watched her walk away wondering what was up with this girl she was avoiding him like the plague.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rory walked through the glass door of Casey's office trying to get her mind off her encounter with Logan. She felt bad, but she needed to keep her distance from him. She focused on her task at hand in perfect Rory fashion. "Here are the papers you wanted Casey. Would you like anything else?

Casey knew that this was a good time to talk to Rory. She was nervous to do it how do you talk to someone you barely know about relationships. Especially, someone who worked for you. However, she promised Logan she would talk to Rory and a promise was a promise. "No, but Rory can I talk to you just for a minute."

Oh god, Casey had on her serious face been she going to fire her. She started to panic and remembered all her mistakes the times she came late, or did she give Mitchum the wrong coffee oh god did she poison him.

Casey could sense Rory's discomfort. "Relax its nothing bad your work has been excellent and you're not in danger of being fired."

Rory breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Casey her full of attention. "Okay what it's about."

"Well Rory on Saturday Logan came here at 6'o cloak in the morning and told me about the fight you had with your boyfriend. He felt that he was way to mean to you."

Rory felt herself turn red with embarrassment; she could not believe that Logan had talked to her boss about her personal business. "Casey Logan obviously had no idea what he was talking about. I am sorry he talked to you about it, my relationship is strictly my business not yours and Logan's." Rory replied angrily.

"Rory I understand why you are angry, but please take a step back and understand Logan's point of view. Logan did not come here to gossip about your relationship. Logan came because he was worried that you are being abused physically and mentally in your relationship. He came to me because I have been in a bad relationship, and he thought I would be a better person to talk."

"Well Jess is not abusive." Rory knew her tone was louder than suppose to be, but she did not care.

"Yes, I figured that Jess was not physically abusing you, but Rory he could still be trying to control your mind in a different way. Rory does he treat you in a way that you deserve to be treated?"

Rory choose her words carefully, she really hated this conversation. "He treats me fine sometimes he might let his anger on me. Nevertheless, I understand why he has the pressure of working three jobs, and he does not exactly have his dream job. "She hoped her answer would be enough to satisfy Casey, but Casey did not seem to be appeased.

"Rory I really hate to say this, but your excuse reminds me of the ones I used to use when I was dating Donny. The way you take a long time to answer and rehearse your words, I am a reporter Rory I have interviewed plenty of people who have done that. "

Rory hated being so exposed in front of her employer, she was so mad at Logan for putting her in this position. Casey saw the look on Rory's face and immediately regretted her harshness. "Rory I am not saying these things to be mean or to interrogate you, but you have to understand that there is nothing healthy about being in a relationship where someone is emotionally making you feel worthless."

"Casey, Logan is clueless about romantic relationships you know he has never been one. He misinterpreted what he saw, people fight you know that." She could believe that Casey would believe Logan Jess was inconsiderate, but he did not control her mind.

"God you're not giving Logan enough credit, true he has never been in a serious relationship, but at least know how to treat people with respect. Believe me I know that people argue in relationships. However, when Tim and I argue I do not walk around eggshells around him afraid of what will happen if I disagree with him. Whenever, we fight I never think he is right when I 100 percent know that I am the one right. I would never hold Tim back from pursuing his dreams, and he would never hold me back from pursuing mine. Can you tell me off the top of your head that you and Jess have this relationship and I will believe you?"

Rory could not do this anymore. "Casey my relationship is my business I am leaving now. Just call me when you ask me something work related. "

"Well your not answering the question proves my point. Just do not make the same mistake I made by catching him in a bad moment. End it now and you will be happier. "

"Enough no more about this.'' As Rory stormed out, Casey could not help but wonder if maybe she cost Rory and Logan their friendship. She hated that and needed to find a way to apologize to Logan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Logan pushed the button on the elevator he had really hoped that Casey had talked sense into Rory. Suddenly Rory walked right towards him she looked a bit mad. Logan tried to lighten the mood. "Hey Ace decided to join me for lunch?"

Rory's anger started to come right out. "I am never having lunch with you or doing anything with you again."

Logan was surprised and hurt. "Rory what are you talking about?"

"You and me were done, because of what you did we can never be friends again."

"What did I do?"

"Do not play dumb Logan you went behind my back and talked about my personal relationship with my boss. Now she will look at me not as a professional, but as the poor girl in a bad relationship."

Oh god, Logan never thought of it liked that but he still needed to defend himself. "First of all, Casey will not think less of you she understands what you're going through."

"What I am going through Logan my boyfriend and I just had a really bad fight. "

"It's not just a bad fight Rory I heard what he tried to call you. I saw how small and hopeless he made you feel. You might be mad at me, but I am not sorry for what I did. I am not going to stand by and let him suck up all your happiness."

"Logan stop judging me I am sick of people doing it. Stay out of my life." With that, Rory stormed out of the room not looking back. Logan did not know what to do to fix the situation.

Well, here it was and do not be mad at me. Sometimes you just need time to yourself to think things through after a confrontation with friends. Rorys epiphany will come around its right around the corner I promise.
