Thanks, for the reviews everyone. Remember the gossip later on is the gossip of 2004, I am just saying this because I do not want people to get confused. I would like to thank Rayc Petite I don't know if she still reads this story but I did get a review from her at some point. Any way I wanted to sort of thank for giving me the idea of the name Donny Crane he is the guy that Casey had a bad relationship with. Well Rayc Petite had him as a guy who hits on Rory in her story Out of the Ordinary you can still see the picture on her profile on her vision on how he looks like. He is not the same guy I just used the same name I don't know it just popped into my head. I am very bad with creating names. Anyway, this story is not a crossover but I have a mention of a character from another T.V show as though he really exists in real life see if you can guess who he is before I mention him to you.

Logan woke up slightly disoriented, the bright sunlight reflected a light blue color that Logan knew was not the color of his bedroom. He noticed that he was still wearing the same cloths from last night, his head was hurting probably after the drinks he had during dinner while Mindy his date was going on and on about Britney and her new man. Logan carefully tilted his head and realized he was in Rory's room, and that Rory was lying next to him holding his hand. He breathed a sigh of relief; after discovering form both their appearances that he and Rory had just fallen asleep after talking. He had not done anything stupid the night before. Logan marveled again at how serene and beautiful she looked while sleeping, and how their hands being intertwined looked like they belonged there. This surprised Logan, despite the number of girls he had shared a bed with he had never felt so comfortable in one. Not to also mention that he had never laid down in the same with a girl that he did not have sexual relationship with. Logan did not want to leave the comfort of Rory's bed or the feeling of her hand on his, so he just closed his eyes.

It could have been hours or minutes Logan suddenly heard an annoying ring, he opened his eyes again and then Logan saw Rory beginning to stir. Her eyes quietly began to open she was surprised to find herself in bed with Logan; although relieved that they were both fully clothed. However, Rory could not help but wonder if she was in another alternate universe dream. She saw that Logan was wide awake. "Logan?" She asked curiously

"Relax, Ace we just fell asleep after talking last night."

"Okay." She let go of Logan's hand reluctantly for it was so warm and so natural.

"Rory, just come back here and lie down you still seem tired." Not wanting her to let go of his hand.

"Logan is you insane? We have the paper remember? "

"Nah, I think I will stay here and blow it off you should to."

"Sorry, Logan but I missed enough work being caught up in my personal life. I think if I miss more Mitchum will black list me. However, you can stay here and then be bombarded by calls from Daddy. But get out of my bed; I need my privacy to get dressed."

"Why not I think you should be more comfortable with your body. I bet you would look cute." Logan voice was filled with innuendo.

Rory started to blush, which Logan found to be very cute. "Logan out now."

"Okay, I promise I will behave just let me lie here, and close my eyes."

"Logan somehow I do not trust that you will do that, and don't make me regret defending you to my mother yesterday." Rory's tone was meant to be in jest, but she somehow noticed Logan's face well.

"Your mother hates me?"

"No, she does not Logan how can she hate you when she does not know you. "
"I am sorry I caused tension, between you guys." Logan said feeling guilty if he had caused problems with her mother.

Rory sat next to him on the bed and pulled him into a hug. "My mother has ridiculous issues about people with wealth, which is ridiculous because she was in love with my Dad who came from money, and had a few friends when she was young from my grandparents' world. It has absolutely nothing to do with you, and who knows maybe she will change her mind when she meets you. "

"Well I will try and make a good impression." Even though Logan knew that Rory was estranged from her mother, he knew that Rory still missed her.

"I am sure you will Logan, but her opinion does not matter anymore. Any way can you just leave I do not want to be late."

"Only if you promise lunch, I missed having it with you the three days you were avoiding me."

Rory was once again ashamed of how mean she had been to Logan. "I am sorry for that Logan I was just so caught up with denial and avoidance that I never really thought of how it was affecting others."

"I understand Ace, but will we have lunch."

"Only if there's ice cream after wards"

"You do not have to ask Ace"

Kelly was really exhausted, after all it was very tough to be writing one of the nations hottest gossip columns, and the gossip had become very mundane since Ben and Jennifer had split up earlier in the year. She had been out all weekend trying to find something new about all she saw were a few appearances of Britney and Kevin, and Daniel Meade and his latest girlfriend. Suddenly, her more energetic co worker Allison walked into the room: "Kelly I got the most amazing gossip that we could write our next issue on."

"I thought we were going to do an entire issue on Britney and that Kevin guy."

"Boring, everybody knows that they will not last past this month. Plus, US Weekly, People, and Enquirer all have or our starting to have full issues and pictures of her and whatever his name is."

Kelly was not in the mood to hear Allison's theatrics, and knew the best way to shut her up was to just let her spill. "So what is the big story Allison?"

"I think Logan Huntzburger and Rory Gilmore you know the summer intern is going out. I know last week she screamed at him, because of something to do with her boyfriend. However, I saw them today holding hands and laughing. She probably broke up with that guy she was dating, or even better Logan broke them up. Either way, this is the juiciest gossip I have ever seen in a long time. "

Kelly had to admit this was a very big piece of news, but she valued her job more. "Allie, I hate to burst your bubbles but Logan is Huntzburger writing or leaking information about him only leads to Mitchum ruining our lives. Anyway, if want to write about a publishing heir there is always Daniel Meade I saw him on Saturday night with this Victoria Secret model. "

This did not appear to appease Allison, "Big deal Daniel goes out with a different model every day he is never serious about them; like Logan has never appeared to be serious of anyone until Rory."

"What makes you think Logan is serious about her?"

"Hello, are you blind every body can see the way he looks at her like he is so fascinated. I saw the way he puts his arm around her whenever they go to lunch, not to mention they go to lunch everyday. I see the way she looks at him to, plus he has never missed a meeting or tried to annoy his father since she came."

"Look I admit that there might be something between them, but I am not losing my job because of them."

"I thought you felt this way, which is why I brought someone who might listen to us.

Suddenly the door knocked and Allison opened it. Casey came right in. "So ladies what is the big emergency. "

Uh oh Kelly thought this could not be good, Allison was about to humiliate herself and was taking her along with her. "Casey I just want you to know that I had nothing to do with this idea that Allison has in her head. I already warned her that it is a very stupid idea."

"Could you please just let me talk?"

"Sure, but be brief."

"Casey you know that Page six is one of the most talked about gossip columns."

"I am aware of that."

"In order to show great gossip we must have original ones don't you agree."

"Of course I agree, but could you please just get to the point." What was with Allison she never shared what she was going to write with her before.

Anyway what could be more original then the gossip happening within our own newsroom such as Logan Huntzburger falling for Rory Gilmore, or even better breaking a relationship she had with a significant other. I know Mitchum would not allow, but could you please talk to him and inform him of all the good revenue we would have after printing that story."

Casey could not believe how delusional Allison was, didn't she have no idea of how this rumor could hurt many people. "Let me get this straight you want me to go to Mitchum who I just recently told him, that I would do anything in my power to make this paper less of the tabloid its become to publish gossip about his son something he has warned you about 100 times not to do. Not to mention this is a guy I have known for years and Rory she has been through a lot don't you ever stop to think that this rumor could hurt her? They are just friends Allison get it through your head, and the answer is no."

"But, Casey the gossip has been so slow lately." Allison whined

"Well, I heard Britney is dating that back up dancer." Casey said in amusement.

"Ugh, but that is so boring."

"Well, then use your imagination, and try not to have any ideas of writing stories about the Huntzburgers. Olivia Hutchins who worked before you tried to write a story about how she thought Honor was engaged, and she now works at the copy shop." With that Casey left.

"I hate to say I told you so." Kelly smugly turned to Allison

"What I need to do is to find good proof, and then show it to Mitchum."

"Well, good luck with that." Kelly rolled her eyes, some people would never change.

1 o'clock

Rory came back after lunch, she had forgotten how much fun their lunch breaks were; but then again mostly any moment with Logan was fun.

"Hey, I have been meaning to ask how you have been." Rory turned and saw Casey there.

"Oh hi I have been having a jumble of emotions. Relieved that it is over, but in a way sad at the things I lost in this relationship. I don't what I would have been done if it was not for Logan he just knows how to cheer me up."

"Yeah, Logan is a really good person, despite his tendency to be lazy."

Rory laughed. "I guess the good thing that I learned from all of this is that I learned, exactly what kind of person Jess is. I mean who knows maybe Jess would have come in a year as a published author; and I could have stupidly fallen for his routine again."

"You guys had a on and off thing?"

"Sort of he liked the chase."

"That's the thing with these bad guys their lives are so messed up, that they like to control something to show that their not so completely messed up. "

"I think I know that now, I just still wish I realized all of this sooner."

"Well the important thing is that you are not with him now. Cause there would have been a lot more mental damage if you had stayed with him. Knowing that you will never taking him back is a very important lesson, that not many people learn when dealing with these bad guys."

"So anything new?" Not wanting to talk about her messed up relationship anymore.

"Well apparently you and Logan provide better gossip topic than Britney."

"What do people know we live together? Rory asked in a panic

"Your living together, I was just talking about your friendship with him."

Oh god, thought Rory this was exactly what she feared. "There is nothing going on between Logan and me, I just broke up with Jess I am not ready for a relationship yet. I just live with him, because I did not want to continue to live in Jess's old apartment until this internship ends. "

"Rory relax you don't have to justify it, and nobody seems to be really talking about it except Allison who had the nerve to ask me to go to Mitchum if she can write a column about you and Logan."

"What?" Rory said in disgust.

"Don't worry it won't happen; I told her no. Just be careful if you ever cross paths with her. The girl tends to be very persistent and annoying. "

"I will, but how can she think were going out."

"The reason is because Logan does have friends who are girls. However, he does not seem to confide in them or show physical gestures the way he does with you. Like when he came to me about Jess I have never seen Logan so worried about another girl, except his sister. "

"Really" Rory replied curiously, she did not know why but that information made her happy.

"Yeah and you seem happy. I know that you said before that you are not ready for another relationship, but if you were would you consider going out with Logan."

"No Casey you know his track record, and I can't be one of those girls. After, everything with Jess I cannot be in a relationship that is only physical. Also I lost a lot of faith relationships and love."

"Rory I get that you don't want to be one of the many, but you can't let one bad relationship ruin your faith in love. That is not healthy."

"It is not just one bad relationship Casey; it's a combination of my whole romantic history and my mother's."

"Rory I don't know your mother, but I know that we can control ourselves to not be like our parents. Also, if I had held my bad relationships as the standard of love then I would have been really unhappy today."

"Well I am glad things worked out for you, but I don't think I will have the same luck."

"Well someday maybe not today, not tomorrow you will, and due to your commitment issues you will miss out on it. "

Casey's words reminded her of what Logan had said, but she was not in the mood to dwell on her love life. "Casey, if there is ever an opportunity that you think I am missing out on you remind me of it. Right now, Mitchum requested an appointment with him tomorrow can you please tell me what to do. "

"Alright the first thing you go to do is to be tough and not act like a cheerleader."

August, 20, 2004

Rory hands were trembling as she knocked on Mitchum Huntzburgers office door. Even the door of the office was large and intimating, Rory took a deep breath as she heard the footsteps in the coming closer. Despite all the meetings, and the times she had given Mitchum paper or beverages she had given him she had never had a large discussion one on one with Mitchum. Oh god did Allison say something about her and Logan to Mitchum, or was he going to tell her that was the worst intern that had ever lived. Rory tried to push all her ridiculous doubts aside. Finally Mitchum opened the door. "Rory how are you?"

"I am fine."

"Well come on in and have a seat." Mitchum said with professional decorum

Rory took a seat and looked Mitchum into the eye, and tried to stop fidgeting. "So Rory I have been observing you for the past 15 days, have read some of your articles that have had your byline along with my son's name."

"He did not by any chance make you do all the work."

"No" Rory said louder than she intended too.

"Excuse me?"

"I am sorry I just wanted to say that Logan is very talented, and you kind of underestimate him." Feeling slightly ashamed of herself, although she wished Mitchum would have more faith in his son.

"I know he is talented, but we are here to talk about you right?"

"Yes"

Now Rory I have been noticing your participation here and I have been very impressed. Now I was a little bit concerned about you when I was hiring you."

"Why were you concerned?"

"Your writing seemed to be very passive and not filled with much strength and opinion. However, seeing you speak up at meetings has proven me otherwise, so I would like to offer you a job at my paper in Stamford, which is close to Yale. "

Rory felt so happy Mitchum Huntzburger one of the biggest media tycoon was offering her a job. "I happily accept it."

"Well good, but remember there will be a higher standard of work expected than what you are used to at Yale. "

"I understand Mr. Huntzburger."

"Well take care, and remember the job starts at September first." Rory was just about to go when she remembered something. Rory debated on whether to tell Mitchum this, but she knew she needed to. She turned towards Mitchum and said "Mr. Huntzburger I know this is not my business, but you should tell Logan that you are proud of him and that you think he is talented."

"Rory my son and I is none of your business. Besides Logan needs discipline, praise will only derail that."

"Yeah, but praise will show that you appreciate him."

"Rory I don't know what you are talking about."

"Logan and I have become really good friends, and he does not really think that you appreciate thing. Any way you were it is not my business. I better go."

"Promise to show up."

"I do"

As Rory left she was unaware that Mitchum was pondering some of the things which Rory had said.

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

When Rory got out of Mitchum's office her mind was in a jumble. Should she have told Mitchum about Logan?

Suddenly Logan walked towards her. "So Ace how did it go, did he do anything bad."

"Because I can go in, and give him a piece of my mind. "

Rory laughed. "No Logan he did no such thing, he was polite and formal. He offered me a job, at his paper in Stamford when school starts."

"Ace, that is great I am so happy for you." Logan smiled; Rory loved his smile his whole face would light up when that would happen.

"So we should celebrate, lets go to that Chinese place you love."

"Logan you do not have to do that."

"Yes, I do its not very day you get your first paying job."

Rory chuckled Logan could be so into his own world. "Logan my first paying job when I was fifteen at Andrew's book store. "

"Well, it is your first paying job regarding what you want to do."

"Wow a whole sentence devoted to that, I like it."

Logan looked into Rory's eyes and said. "We are incredibly lucky to have found each other."

"I agree with you one hundred percent. "

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

So did anybody pick up the Daniel Meade reference from Ugly Betty.

Logan noticed the sun glistening above him, he woke up slightly disoriented. He noticed that he was still wearing his cloths from the night before
