Sorry it took a while to update! I was on vacation, but after I finish the next and last chapter, I have the perfect idea for a story.

So enjoy!

"Oh my! My hands are filthy!" Emily Gilmore exclaimed after opening the door for Lorelai, Rory, and Logan. The knob was, for some unknown reason, sticky, which made the palms of her hand feel unclean.

She quickly led her guests to the living room and excused herself to the bathroom. Emily passed by the front door and heard another knock. She stopped and looked all around her for a maid, but, apparently no one was doing their job tonight, so she reluctantly placed her hand on the dirty knob, opening the door revealing Mario and his mother.

"Mario, Gwyneth! Well, what are you doing here? I thought I called to cancel," Emily greeted.

Rory and Logan jerked their heads to look at the door which now had Mario and his mother there. She noticeably paled at the sight of them, and Logan grasped her hand and held it tightly.

"Oh goodness! I can't believe we forgot!" Gwyneth gasped, in a fake surprised tone.

Emily, obviously not suspicious of them, invited them in, seeing as it would be rude to make them go home after coming all this way.

"Why don't you just sit down next to Lorelai?" Emily sat the down and finally noticed Rory's squirming figure. "Wait, is this too uncomfortable for you?"

Everyone shook their head, as Emily placed her bracelet lovingly down on the table next to Logan. Emily was going off to wash her hands. Gwyneth smiled as her son spoke up, "Emily, I'll escort you to the bathroom."

Emily looked at him strangely but then decided that is was a polite gesture, and agreed. He quickly made his way over to her, while no one noticed his swift movement, in which he brushed Emily's bracelet into Logan's coat pocket.

"Thank you," she said as they reached the bathroom. He nodded and made his way back to the others. As he walked in, he saw the way Rory rested her head on Logan's shoulder, and saw how she just seemed so…. so….so happy. He looked at Logan who did nothing but stare at Rory with love in his eyes. They were meant for each other; Mario inwardly sighed.

Gwyneth smiled evilly at her son, confirming that she knew their plan was in motion. Mario smiled weakly at his mother, not sure if he really wanted to do this anymore. NO he was sure he didn't want to this anymore. Why should he try to break them up, Rory would never love him, and there was nothing in the world that could change that.

"Logan can I see your jacket?" Mario asked quickly.

Gwyneth hit him on the arm, asking him with her eyes what he was doing.

"What?" Logan questioned.

Lorelai looked at Mario strangely, as did Rory, Logan, and Gwyneth.

"Your--" Mario started, but he was cut off by a distressed scream.

"Where's my bracelet?!?!?!" Emily screeched, frantically searching the small table where she had left her bracelet.

Gwyneth went on with the plan, despite her son's withdraw, "Well Logan is the closest."

Rory glared at her and asked, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well I was merely suggesting…"

"You think I took it?" Logan said.

"Well you are the closest…"Gwyneth said.

"Go ahead and check my pockets, if you don't believe me!" Logan shouted.

Mario cringed as his mother said, "Fine, I will!"

Logan removed his jacket and handed it to her. After one minute, Gwyneth pulled out the bracelet from the right pocket of hid coat.

Lorelai and Emily stared in shock, as did Logan. Mario hung his head down, as Gwyneth wore a triumphant smirk.

When Mario looked up he saw tears forming on the brim of her eyes. His heart broke into a million pieces as he watched Logan try to explain, but no words were coming out.

Mario stood up, "No."

"Mario!" Gwyneth scolded.

"No, Mom. Logan didn't take the bracelet," Mario explained.

"He didn't?" Emily asked.

"No, it was me…and my mom."

"But it was in his pocket!" Gwyneth complained.

"I put it there."

"Why?" Emily asked, surprised.

"I thought it would help break them up," Mario confessed, but all he saw were confused faces, so he went on. "I thought Rory and I had something, something special. Then…then he came along and ruined it all! He swept her off her feet, and she loved him! I loved her, and my mom desperately wanted me to be a part of the Gilmore family! So, we tried to break them up. I thought that if he stole Emily's jewelry, she would hate him, and they would split. But now I realize that nothing can break these two up, because they are in love and nothing will ever change that."

Mario quickly left the room and Rory followed after.

"Mario!" Rory yelled, as he stopped and slowed down. "Thank you," she whispered, and then kissed him on the cheek. A grease drip slipped down her cheek but she ignored it.

"Congrats," he said, as he held up her left hand revealing an engagement ring.

She smiled and watched him walk out. Lorelai then came into the doorway with Gwyneth in hand, and threw her out.

"I can't believe that," Emily whispered, embarrassed, and then apologized to Logan.
