Rory wandered what she thought was the majority if the Yale campus. She looked everywhere for him. She finally stumbled upon an open door in the journalism wing. The classroom read "Foreign Affairs". She went into the room to find the familiar blonde haired brown eyed guy she had grown accustomed to seeing.
"Hey Logan," she said slowly approaching him.
She noticed his normal smirk was present, "Hey Ace."
"So, Foreign Affairs, huh?"
"Yeah. It's interesting, I'm surprised you aren't taking it, you'd love it."
"I probably would."
He cut to the chase, "Ace, tell me why you're really here."
Rory took inhaled a long deep breath, "Logan, I was just wondering if you wanted to have dinner or something."
Logan's smirk turned into a big smile, "I would love to Ace. Maybe I could pick you up later on tonight and we can go to a restaurant."
Rory smiled, "That sounds great."
"My plan worked, didn't it?"
She was confused, "What plan?"
"Going to Audrey for help."
She laughed, "You know me well, Huntz. You know I can't ignore people's persuasion, except yours."
He laughed, "I also heard that you did her a favor as well."
She asked, "You mean her and Tristan? No, that wasn't me. It was fate they were meant to be together."
"Like you and me?"
Rory smiled brightly, "Yeah, like you and me."

Audrey was in her dorm room trying to think of something to wear. She couldn't think of anything! She had been home for at least an hour and had clothes strewn allacross her room.
She gave up! She sat down on her floor looking helpless. That's until she heard a knock on her bedroom door.
"Come in," she said weakly.
Tim looked on the floor and then at the frowning Audrey. He gave a sympathetic, "Oh, sweetie."
She continued to pout, "I have nothing to wear."
Tim sat down on the floor with her, "It looks like a tornado went through here."
She hung her head and nodded solemnly. Tim hugged her, "I knew this would happen."
"I don't know what to wear because he didn't tell me where we were going. If I wear a dress and we go to a cheeseburger place, I'll be over dressed."
Tim shook his head, "Oh please, hun. Tristan DUGREY?! At a local cheeseburger place. Puh-lease!"
Audrey nodded her head in agreement, "I know, it's just, I don't like surprises."
Tim laughed, "I know that. I remember we had a surprise present and you looked through my closet just to find it."
Audrey laughed. Tim always knew how to cheer her up. Tim went on to speak, "Lucky for you, you have a friend with incredible fashion sense and who knows you too well."
Her eyes brightened as she saw the little black babydoll dress he was holding, "It's absolutely perfect Tim! You are such an amazing designer."
Tim had a smile on his face, "I knew you'd like it."
She took the dress and held it in her hands, "Tim, if there's anything you need or want, just ask. You are such a good friend."
He hesitated, "Actually, there is."
She looked through her closet to find heels to go with the dress, "Name it and I'm there."
"Since you are my muse, I would love it if you'd be in my fashion show in New York City next week."
Audrey smiled, "I would be honored to be in your fashion show." She backtracked, "New York City?!? Tim, you've made it!"
Tim sat down on her bed and was thrilled, "I know! Tons of fashion designers will be there looking for my designs to add to their collection."
"Tim, that's amazing," she took the heels off the bed but Tim shook his hand and took the heels from her, "Hey!" Audrey pouted.
He handed her the black heeled ankle boots, "These are way more Mischa Barton and look better with your shape."
Audrey took the boots and the dress and looked at Tim with sincerity, "What would I do without you?"
He gave a sarcastic sigh, "Oh, I don't know. You'd be the same, only dressed way worse."
Audrey giggled and went into the bathroom to get ready for her date. This is the best day of my life!

Rory got home to tell Audrey the good news about her and Logan. She heard the radio was on in Audrey's dorm room. She called for Audrey.
She heard Tim's voice, "We're in here!"
Rory went in her room and saw Tim on her bed looking impatient and telling Audrey, "I'm sure you look fine, hun. Just show me first."
"No," Audrey protested, "Not until I look flawless. I don't want Tristan going out with a trashy looking girl."
Tim sighed and looked at Rory pleadingly. Rory sighed and told Audrey, "Hey, Audrey. It's Rory."
Audrey opened the bathroom door looking impeccable. She brightened up, "Hey Rory! Do you have any news to bring me?"
Rory smiled and sat down next to Tim, "Yes. Logan and I are back together."
Audrey squealed, "See. I told you. Today is perfect. You're back together with Logan and I'm with Tristan." She skillfully applied mascara as she asked, "So, when are you guys going out?"
Rory looked through Tim's designs and answered, "Tonight."
"Ohh, what are you going to wear?" Audrey asked as she applied eyeliner.
Rory shrugged, "I don't know."
Tim and Audrey gasped. Tim carefully asked, "When is he picking you up?"
Rory looked at her friends confused, "7:00, why?"
Audrey looked off the mirror and gasped again. Tim put his hand over his mouth in disbelief. Rory was confused and nervous, "What?"
Tim explained, "You are going out with an amazing guy and you don't know what you're wearing?"
Rory shook her head nervously. Tim put his hand on her back and said, "We have so much to teach you."
Tim picked up some of his designs off the floor and gave them to Rory, "Be thankful that you have a roommate that wears the same size as you. You may not be so lucky in the future."
Rory's uneasiness was put to rest, "Thank you guys so much."
Rory was about to leave until she saw what Audrey picked out. It was a little "risky" when she actually saw it, "I don't think this is really me."
Tim shook his head like it was obvious, "Rory, Rory, Rory, this outfit will make him never dump you again. Once he sees you in that, he's going to feel like the idiot that he was."
Rory looked at Audrey pleadingly. Audrey looked around her room until she found something more "Rory". "Tim, this design is more me." She handed the knee-length blue cocktail dress to Rory, "Here. I'm sure Logan will take you to some fancy restaurant."
Rory thanked Audrey, "Than you so much. For everything."
Audrey put her makeup away and said, "You're welcome."
They then heard a knock on the common room door. Audrey shooed Rory to her room to change, "I'll get it."
She opened the door to find Tristan. Audrey saw the most gorgeous looking guy she'd ever seen. She melted just looking at him, and that was definitely a first for her.
He had a twinkle in his eye looking at her, "Hey Audrey."
Audrey managed to say, "Hey." She then snapped out of it, "Please tell me where we're going."
Tristan smiled, "Not a chance."
Audrey pouted, "I don't like suprises."
He smirked, "I've noticed. You are also very cute pouting."
She just smiled and stopped pouting, "Okay. Lead the way DuGrey."
He put her arm around her back and kissed her on her head as they left to go to his car, "I'm glad we're back together."
Audrey was pulled closer to him. She looked into his eyes and said, "Me too."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Rory panicked as she got ready. She quickly put shoes on and applied her makeup. She heard Tim shout, "Rory, you're boyfriend's here."
Rory panicked and shouted back at Tim, "Okay, I'll be out there in 10 seconds."
She applied the rest of her makeup rapidly. She walked gracefully out to the common room and she saw Logan's smirk turn to a grin.
"Hey, Ace. You look amazing," Logan greeted her.
"You look pretty good yourself, Huntzburger," Rory said as she grabbed her coat.
Logan guided her out the door by the small of her back, "I missed you, Ace."
Rory grinned hearing that, "I missed you too, Logan."
Logan grabbed Rory's hand and led her to his car. This felt so right.

Tristan led Audrey into a beautiful Italian restaurant in Hartford. The restaurant was completely empty. Audrey looked at the empty restaurant confused, "How come it's empty?"
Tristan smirked, "There is nothing the DuGrey can't do."
She smiled, "I bet you paid a lot to do this."
He shrugged, "Not really, remember?"
She persisted, "You really didn't have to do this. You could have just taken me to some cheeseburger place and I would have been happy." She then observed the empty tables, "But, I have to admit, this is pretty cool."
He smiled and led her to an empty table. He pulled out the chair and she sat down. "You're such a gentleman."
He smiled, "I try."
She brought up small talk, "What have you been doing lately?"
He shrugged, "Classes and the newspaper. What about you?"
She sighed knowing that Tristan might get upset that she'd be gone all weekend next week, "I'm actually going to be gone next weekend."
She detected some disappointment in his voice, "That's nice." He then asked, "Where are you going?"
Audrey tried to hide her excitement, "I'm going to be in New York City modeling for Tim's fashion show."
Tristan's face lit up, "That's great."
She brought up this subject slowly, "So, I was wandering, if you wanted to come with me. Tim, being the great friend he is, promised to get me an extra ticket to the show and we can spend the weekend in New York."
He grinned, "I'd love to. It sounds like fun."
She then started talking fast, "I know everything we can do. Times Square, the Wardrobe District, the Statue of Liberty…."
He started laughing, "You talk to much."
She started to frown a little. Noticing this he said, "But, it's cute and I missed it." He then added, "A lot."
Audrey smiled, "Get used to it. I'm not going anywhere."
"Glad to here it, because neither am I."
They then went on to gaze into each other's eyes. (A/N: It seems a tad cliché, but whatever.)

Logan led Rory blindfolded into a dark movie theater.
"Seriously Logan, where are we?" Rory asked confused and still blindfolded.
"That's part of the element of surprise, Ace," he led her to the front row of the movie theater.
He took of the blindfold. The movie immediately started playing.
"How did you know?" she said amazed at the screen. The movie playing was Gone with the Wind.
He smirked, "Nothing a call to your mother wouldn't solve."
He put his hand around her shoulders and she leaned into him and whispered, "You're amazing."
He just grinned and held her tighter.
A/N: Okay, I know I added two chapters in the same day, but I won't be around my computer for another week because I have tons of work to do for school. I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
