I do not own anything in here. Nothing. Sucks I know.
AN:Hello all thanks again for all the great reviews! Yes Rory and Logan were extrememly sweet, I told you I wanted to keep things mellow and cute before hell breaks loose. In here, theres a little taste of hell but it's not even close to the kind of hell i have planned for the whole group. The people get paired up a little when they go to the festival, but know that those aren't the romantic pairing I'm going to keep for the story. There's some PDLD friendship in here too, friendship nothing romantic so don't think i'm switching gears on you. Enjoy!
"Why do Sheilas take so bloody long to get ready?" Finn asked getting antsy. It was already 5:30 and the guys were still waiting outside of Rory's room for the girls to come out.
"If you guys are going to sit out there and complain then you can just leave without us!" yelled an aggravated Steph from the other side of the door. Finn just shot a dirty look at the door but Rory spoke, "I saw that Finny!" The guys just snickered at Finn's disbelief evident on his face.
"Maybe we should just leave without them," Colin suggested. He was the punctual one of the group and couldn't stand being late, even to an event that he's never been to.
The four all nodded in agreement but before the could walk away the door opened…
"Gosh why are guys so impatient!" Stephanie said.
"Because your boy toys want to undress you with their eyes already," Rory said with a smirk directed to the two blondes in the room.
Stephanie and Louise gave each other a look before picking up Rory, who was only in her low rise jeans and a bra, and opening the door and putting her down outside of her own room and locking the door and yelling, "Enjoy Logan!"
Logan, Finn, and Colin stared with amazement at what was in front of them while Tristan just laughed. Rory stood in tight low rise jeans and a hot pink bra and nothing else. Rory totally forgot that the guys were behind her and started pounding on the door. "It's my room guys this is just mean! At least give me my stuff to change into!"
The door reopened and a purse, shoes, socks, a shirt, and a sweater were thrown out of it before slamming in Rory's face. Rory turned around to change and found 3 guys staring at her wide eyed. "Hi," she said shyly, just noticing them now.
"Hello," the three answered. Tristan just laughed. "Funny, I thought that was one of the ones that they took to Europe," he said in reference to her bra. Rory feigned a laugh before giving Tristan the purse, boots, socks, and sweater. "Hold these," she instructed as she pulled her low cut maroon shirt over herself.
"Aw love, ruin my fun!" Finn whined snapping out of the daze he was in. Logan just rolled his eyes before connecting his eyes with Rory's. When she stepped out in that, it was very hard for him to control the growing feeling of heat in his veins and the slight tightening of his pants. Rory stared straight into his eyes with pure seduction in them, she was very aware of her control over him, and she had to admit she liked it.
Colin, Tristan, and Finn just rolled their eyes, they were getting tired of these two's sexual tension. "Why don't they just do it?" Finn mumbled to Colin who elbowed him. Tristan didn't even want to think about the two doing something like that, but he knew it would be a lot easier than the foreplay they do in front of everyone.
The door to Rory's door opened and out walked Louise, Madeline, and Stephanie totally breaking up the sexual tension in the room. "Let's go people!" said Madeline. Rory and Logan quickly jumped out of their apparent daze and broke eye contact. Rory quickly put on her boots, socks, and jacket and grabbed her purse. The 6 walked ahead of Rory and Logan shaking their heads, once the 6 were down the steps Logan quickly pushed Rory against her closed bedroom door and kissed her passionately, with Rory returning the same passion.
Things were about to get really hot and heavy when Rory pushed Logan away. Logan looked at her worried. "I'm sorry Rory, I didn't mean …" but Rory pressed her finger to his lips.
"I just don't want them to get suspicious. We can finish this another time," she said with a smirk as she wrapped her arm around his waist, he smiled and put an arm around her shoulder. This girl's going to be the death of me.
The two reached the bottom of the steps to find their 6 friends waiting impatiently at the bottom. Rory just rolled her eyes and walked ahead of the group out the front door, with them closely following.
They all walked to the town center and the sight took away the breaths of those who weren't used to it. The whole town hub was lit up with white lights and leaves were strung along with them. Booths were set up everywhere with different autumn activities such as bobbing for apples, hot cider vendors, and apple pie eating contests.
"Rory your town is so beautiful," Stephanie said soaking in everything around her. Rory smiled and noticed Colin staring and beaming at the childish look of excitement in Steph's eyes. There was always something in the festivals that brought out the children in the hearts of the town, and that was something Rory cherished about these little town shindigs. She knew that this would be a perfect experience for these particular friends because they had never gotten a chance to be children, and she wanted to give them the chance.
"What do you think?" Rory asked Logan while looking around at the several activities going on.
"Beautiful," Logan said, but he wasn't looking around like Rory was, but looking straight at her. Rory turned to face him and giggled, "Now how long have you been waiting pull that line out?" Logan chuckled along with her. "You caught me," Logan said while kissing her cheek. This display of affection didn't go unnoticed by the townspeople because within one second after the kiss a stout woman with brown short curly hair approached the group accompanied with a similar figured blonde woman.
"Rory, Tristan dears are you going to your gorgeous friends?" she said eyeing the guys like pieces of meat.
Tristan answered her, "Right sorry Babette and Miss Patty, these are our friends. The blonde boy is Rory's boyfriend Logan, the tall brunette one Finn, the other brunette is Colin, the two blonde girls are Stephanie and Louise, and this brunette over here is Madeline," Tristan said pointing out each person. Finn, being the charmer made the mistake of going over to the two women and kissing their hands and greeting them with a, "Hello gorgeous Sheilas." As if that wasn't enough, the accent threw them over the top.
"Oh my, you didn't tell us you had an exotic friend!" Miss Patty exclaimed obviously interested. Before she could continue with her flirting, a voice from behind her spoke, "Hands off Miss Patty the exotic boy toy is ours!"
Lorelai and Liz came up to stand next to the two women with a smile.
"Oh now Lorelai, you can't have all the gorgeous boys of this town, first Chris and Eric and now Finn here! Don't tell me you're taking Logan, Colin, and Tristan too?"
"Oh no," Liz said, "Don't worry those three don't belong to us, they belong to Rory and her girlfriends."
Babette and Miss Patty just put on defeated faces and walked away, but not before giving Finn firm pinches on each butt cheek. "Oy!" exclaimed Finn, "Rory love, are all the people in your town this kinky? Because if they are sign me up!" The group just laughed at his usual perverted comment and started to walk around to look for activities to participate in.
"Logan can you get me some cider?" Rory said with a pout and her Bambi eyes.
Logan groaned, "Now you know I can't say no to that Rory," he said releasing her from his arms and giving her a kiss before walking off to find the cider booth. "Wait up we'll come with you!" Tristan said as he, Madeline, Louise followed after Logan.
"Colin win me something at the apple bobbing booth!" said Steph also with a little pout.
Colin smiled at her. "Hayden you're a bad influence," he said before taking Steph's hand and leading her to the booth.
"We're going to go see who decides to drink the Founder's day punch sweets, we'll meet up with you later," Lorelai and Liz said linking arms and walking away.
"Well, our group just dissolved within two seconds. Just me and you Aussie," Rory said to Finn.
"Yes love just me and you!" He said with a smile as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and started guiding her around the town center. "So, how are things with you and my mate, love? Even though I disapprove and think you're destined to be with me, I still want to be updated on this relationship of yours."
Rory laughed, she knew Finn was only joking, her and Finn's relationship was starting to become a lot like her relationship with Tristan minus the intimacy they once shared. Finn was easy to get along with and she loved him in a pure platonic way. She knew he was one of those people that she could definitely depend on and fully trust, no matter how often he hit on her. Finn had the same feelings towards Rory also. "Things with me and Logan are going great, he's treating me amazing and I love being with him." Before Rory realized she said the L-word, Finn spoke.
"Ah love huh? So you love being with him, does that mean you love him kitten?"
"I-I don't know," Rory replied, her voice faltering a bit.
"Don't worry pet, I don't want to get you all stressed out about it. But I do know for a fact, that my mate Logan has feelings for you that are more than liking you, just remember he's new to this stuff and he might take a while to figure out his feelings," Finn said trying to reason with Rory. Rory nodded.
"I know, and I'm willing to wait. The last thing I want to do is rush into something we're not ready for."
"That's a good idea love, in the mean time you can express your love to me, come on let me hear it!" Finn said as he bought him and Rory a giant slice of apple pie.
"Yes Finny I love you so much and can't live without you," Rory said playing along, but in some ways she meant it. Finn was starting to become a big support system in her life and seemed to always be there for her to talk to.
"Right back at you kitten," Finn said. He really did love Rory, platonically. Forget the fact that he was always flirting with her and telling her to leave Logan. That was just his mannerism. But ever since he first met her, he knew that her spunk and persona would be could change for the group, and it was proven by all the new experiences she and Tristan shared with their new friends.
The two had taken a seat at one of the benches to eat their pie. Finn had got them only one big slice of pie and one fork so Rory was feeding him and herself when a shadow came over them. Both of them looked up expecting to see one of their friends there, but their thoughts were proven wrong.
When Tristan, Louise, Madeline, and Logan reached the cider booth there was a long line. The four stood in queue and started talking.
"So I hear you two are going to Homecoming together," said Logan with a smirk to Louise and Tristan. Both of them looked at each other and blushed, none of them said anything. After some silence Tristan spoke up, taking the spotlight off of him.
"Are things with Rory good?" Tristan asked, he knew they were but he hated the awkward silence.
"Perfect," Logan simply stated.
"You're in love," Louise said to his goofy grin.
"Wha- what!" Logan said with wide eyes. The other three chuckled at his expression; they couldn't believe that he was so naïve to his very own feelings.
"Rory and Logan sitting in a tree…" Madeline started singing.
"You guys are hallucinating," Logan said with a frown, "It's way too early to tell anything like that."
Tristan and Louise just rolled their eyes while Madeline hummed the rest of the song. "Ok Logan, whatever you say," Tristan said.
The rest of the time in line Logan stood in silence while the other talked with knowing smiles on their faces. Could I really be in love? There's really no way of telling. I mean I'm so new to this I wouldn't know love if it tapped me on their shoulder and introduced itself, so how would I even know if I'm in love? But then a little voice spoke in the back of his mind, "Denial isn't only a river in Egypt."
Colin found that the apple bobbing was too unsanitary for his taste, so instead he took Stephanie to the apple-basketball booth to win her something. He immediately won, making three apples into the narrow basket consecutively. He handed Stephanie the giant teddy bear prize and gave her a sweet smile. Stephanie returned it blushing a little, and the two started walking around in silence.
"So uh, who are you going to Homecoming with?" Colin asked, half trying to fill the silence and half being curious.
"No one has asked me yet, so I guess I'm just going by myself," Stephanie said shyly, as much as she didn't want to sound like a loser that didn't get asked, she also didn't want to ruin her chances for Colin possibly asking her. "What about you?"
"Yeah I was thinking of going alone also…" Colin replied trying to muster up some confidence to ask her. Stephanie just smiled.
"Hey since we're both going alone, why don't we just go alone together?" Colin asked, making only half sense.
Steph giggled. He's so cute when he's nervous. "Sounds good to me Colin, you've got yourself a date," she said while reaching up and giving him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled at her, "Yeah it does sound good doesn't it?" he asked while putting his arm around her shoulders and kissing her head. The two then just walked around looking like a cute couple. Even though the two thought they weren't exclusive yet, it looked as if they were.
The figure that shadowed over Finn and Rory was fuming and glaring at Finn. "So Rory is this your flavor of the week, got tired of Tristan so soon?" Rory's jaw automatically tightened in anger, while Finn tightened his grip around Rory's shoulders trying to show that he was there for her.
"Nice to see you too Dean," Rory replied blandly, leaning into Finn for support. "Nice to meet you mate, the names Finnegan Rothschild," Finn said sticking his hand out trying to be polite, despite the fact that Dean's approach was far from it. Dean just looked at Finn's hand and glared at him before turning to Rory again.
"Rory we have to talk," he stated reaching for her arm. Rory quickly pulled her arm away before he could grab it, "Dean there's nothing to talk about leave me alone."
Dean's frown deepened before he changed his voice to sound desperate, "Rory please, I just need a chance to explain myself." Rory looked in his eyes, looking for something to trust, but there was nothing there. But she knew if she didn't go to talk to him now, he would try to talk to her another time, with less people around, with less safety, so she cautiously agreed.
"Rory love would you like me to join you?" Finn said gaining the glare of Dean because of his term of endearment. "No I'll be alright Finny," Rory said giving him a kiss on the cheek before getting up. Dean was not pleased. He quickly placed his hand on the small of Rory's back and led her away from Finn. When Rory noticed they were starting to get out of Finn's viewpoint she spoke.
"Dean just tell me what you want," Rory spat putting their walking to halt. She quickly looked to her side to make sure Finn was still in sight and there he was, standing near the bench watching. She saw Colin and Steph approach him, and hoped they wouldn't distract him just in case something happened.
"I want us back Rory," Dean said looking into her eyes, she looked back into them and felt nothing. It was like looking in a stranger's eyes.
"You should've thought of that before you jumped to conclusions and did what you did then," Rory said emotionless, his words meant nothing to her. She was with Logan and nothing was going to change that.
"Well I wasn't exactly wrong was I?" Dean spat annoyed at her tone.
"What the hell are you talking about!" yelled Rory gaining the attention of a certain group of 9 watching them cautiously.
Finn had let Rory go, knowing that he would be there in the blink of an eye if she needed him. He noticed her and Dean stop walking and Rory look over to him just as Steph and Colin approached him, with his arm slung around Steph and her arm around his waist.
"Spot a redhead Finn?" Colin said with humor in his voice.
"No," Finn replied shortly not even turning to acknowledge their presence. Colin and Steph looked over to see what his attention was focused on and saw Rory speaking with a tall floppy haired brunette. "Who's that?" Steph asked confused.
"Dean," Finn said with bitterness in his voice. The two of them gasped, after hearing Rory's narrative about Dean, they had all taken an utter deep dislike for him. The three just sat watching before Madeline wrapped her arms around the Finn's waist. Finn totally ignored her, which caught the attention of Tristan, Logan, and Louise.
"What's going on with everyone?" asked Louise to the staring trio. The group just nodded their heads in the direction they were saying and Tristan yelled, "No fucking way." He was about to make his way over to the two but Finn stopped him, "Let kitten handle him, we'll go when she looks threatened."
"Who is that guy?" Logan asked feeling pangs of jealousy in his stomach.
"Dean," Tristan said in a threateningly low voice. Logan immediately turned red. He hated Dean with a passion for hurting Rory the ways he had. Logan also started to make his way over there when he felt an arm on his hand. He turned to see Lorelai holding his arm and Liz looking at him puzzled. "Where you going looking all angry?" Lorelai asked.
"To kick Dean's ass," Logan replied. With the mention of Dean, Lorelai's face turned serious and she looked over just in time to hear Rory yell, "What the hell are you talking about!"
"You know what I mean Rory. You're with that guy you were sitting with that idiot on the bench, what did that ass Tristan dump you for his next slut already?" Dean asked with a nasty smirk.
That made Rory angry. He insulted two of her close friends and her. She didn't take that crap from Summer and she certainly wasn't going to take it from her abusive ex boyfriend.
She screamed, "First of all it's none of your business who I am with but just so you know it's not Tristan or Finn. Second of all don't you dare insult Finn or Tristan because they are two of the few sweetest guys I have even met in my life, which by the way you are not one of. Third, don't you dare call me a slut, it isn't my fault you were so damn over protective and possessive that you were too blind to see how lucky you were. Last you have no chance with me anymore, because I'm with an amazing boyfriend who actually knows how to treat a girl!" To end her ramble she gave Dean a hard slap across the face, causing his head to whip to the side and see an amused group of 9.
The group that was watching them had heard Rory's speech and also seen her slap Dean across the face. "Good arm," said Colin. Logan had been very happy to hear the last part of his speech and actually smirked. The 9 saw Dean's head whip around in their direction after the slap and examine the group before turning back to Rory.
"It's the blonde boy isn't it?" Dean asked with animosity.
"What?" Rory asked answering his question with a question.
"Your boyfriend is the blonde watching us over there isn't it?" Dean repeated looking livid.
Rory didn't even have to turn to know that he was talking about Logan. "Yes it is," Rory replied about to walk away when Dean tightly grasped both of her wrists to face him. "Dean get off of me!" Rory yelled looking into his eyes that had darkened.
"Not until you admit you still love me," Dean said while pulling her body against his.
"Dean you're hurting me!" Rory yelled catching the attention of everyone around . Dean pulled Rory's lips against his in one swift motion and hungrily attacked them, Rory pushed him away cause him to fumble back a couple steps. "I hate you get away from me!" screamed Rory, tears breaking through. This only made things worse, Dean quickly charged back at her was about to punch her when he felt and arm grab her hands. He turned quickly only to see a fist colliding with his face and then falling to the ground.
Once the guys had seen Dean grab Rory's wrists and pull her in to kiss her there was no stopping them. All four ran quickly to him angry at his irrational actions. They saw Rory push him away and motion to hit her when Logan reached them first. He didn't even wait for Dean to react before hitting him promptly and connecting his fist with his angry face causing him to fall.
As fast as Dean fell to the ground, he got up to find himself face to face 4 irate guys. "Rory tell your fuck buddies to go the fuck away this is between me and you," Dean said turning to Rory to find her in the protective arms of a blonde girl that was in the group and surrounded by 4 other women including her mother and Tristan's mother.
"Leave her the fuck alone you piece of shit," spat another blonde girl from behind Rory that glared at him. Her comment surprised Dean, he didn't even know who the hell the girl was yet there she sat yelling at him, he was about to charge at her too when a deep voice spoke from behind him, "I wouldn't if I were you mate, you're way out numbered," said the brunette that had introduced himself as Finn before.
"Why do you guys stick up for a slut like Rory, she'll only use you then dump you," Dean spat angrily at them.
"Don't you dare fucking talk about Rory like that you dipshit!" yelled the blonde that was apparently Rory's boyfriend.
"What you are you going to do about it?" Dean asked stepping up to him trying to intimidate him. Logan was about to show him when Colin stopped him. "We will hurt you," he said. Rory was surprised, she hadn't really formed the closest bond with Colin, but yet there he was sticking up for her.
"Oh yeah right," Dean chuckled but was stopped when he felt a hard punch in his stomach that caused him to double over. "Sorry mates, his smile was annoying me," said Finn with a sheepish smile causing the girls to smile back.
Tristan bent over to look Dean in the eye. "Listen up bag boy, you touch or try to talk to Rory again, we will hurt you, and that's not a threat. That's a freaking promise," Tristan said going after the girls that were already leading Rory home. "Pleasure doing business with you," Colin said smirking and following Tristan's lead. "Nice to meet you mate, remember the name's Finnegan Rothschild. Meet you at the house Logan," Finn said before going after the girls saying, "Rory love give Finny a hug and cheer up, don't let an asshole ruin the night!"
Logan was the last to leave. He still stood in front of Dean watching him with disgust. "How could you hurt someone like Rory the way you did?" Logan said to him repulsion leaking from every word.
"You shouldn't talk. Look at you. I know you're type rich, cocky, arrogant playboy who gets the world handed to him in a silver platter. You'll get tired of Rory just like every other girl you've ever used. Then guess who will be there to pick up the pieces? Me," Dean said straightening up again and looking Logan in the eye. Those words hit Logan hard, but he didn't show it. The two stared at each other in hush for a while before Logan spoke.
"If you would have told me that about another girl other than Rory, then I would have happily agreed with you. But with Rory, things are different. I know how special Rory is, and I'll die before I mess things up with her. I'm not going to screw things up with her like you did. I've changed," Logan stated finally. He didn't even wait for a rebuttal from Dean, what he said was the truth and he didn't need to wait for Dean to tell him if it was or if it wasn't. Dean was left the loser in this battle, alone, embarrassed, and regretful. But this was only the first of many other battles Logan would have to face when it came to Rory, and the easiest.
AN:DUN DUN DUNN! Haha remember, the drama is only beginning! Review ! Sorry about the cliche remarks I had including the denial one. Couldn't think of anything different haha!
