"Oh my God, one more picture just one more picture." Emily cooed as Logan and Rory posed in front of the Hayden mansion before prom.
"Grandma," Rory pleaded, "we're going to have plenty of time for pictures after everyone gets here."
"Of course dear," Francine smiled as she snapped another picture, "but we want plenty of the two of you."
"You two couldn't possibly look any more perfect!" Shira beamed. "Rory that dress is simply stunning; it goes perfectly with those gorgeous eyes of yours."
"Alright ladies, except my dear daughter-in-law," Mitchum smiled, "sho-sho, it's our time with the children."
"Oh fine," Lorelei pretended to pout, "just one second, Rory come here doll your hair needs one more coat of hair spray."
"Mom, seriously I'm fine I promise." Rory laughed as Lorelei pulled out a can of hairspray.
"No Lorelei Leigh your not, that coat is only good for maybe five dances if they're only slow to moderate." Lorelei shielded her daughter's eyes and sprayed the aerosol can.
"Alright Lor, alright," Christopher laughed as he nudged Lorelei out of the room, "she looks like an angel don't worry."
"Oh relax kids we're not here for pictures," Richard laughed as he led the group to his study, "we just wanted to spend this special moment with our grandchildren and children."
"Are they drunk?" Logan whispered to Rory as they followed the four older men.
"Umm, not drunk but quite tipsy if you ask me." Rory laughed as she entwined her hand in Logan's.
"Sit, sit kids don't look so afraid we're not going to pretend like this is a Vogue photo-shoot or anything, don't worry." Straub laughed.
"Alright, tonight is a very important night," Christopher started, "oh don't worry this isn't some Dr. Laura sex talk," he laughed as he saw the scared looks that crossed Rory and Logan's faces, "we just want to make sure you enjoy tonight as much as we did when we were your age."
"Usually," Richard continued, "we wouldn't have brought such refined young lady into this conversation, but considering you have that rebellious streak just like your mother Rory, we thought it would be ok."
"Anyways," Mitchum chimed in, "there are some basic necessities the two of you need for your senior prom."
"Um, Dad, Uncle Christopher, are you two ok?" Logan questioned somewhat hesitantly.
"Of course my boy, can't we be happy that our son and daughter are going to the senior prom? It's one of those stepping stones in life, and we knew your mothers and grandmothers wouldn't show you the dark side of prom so we decided we would." Christopher smirked a smirked that greatly resembled Logan's.
"So, Rory my dear, are you carrying a purse with you tonight?" Mitchum grinned.
"Um, ya, I'm carrying a small handbag Uncle Mitchum."
"Good," He smiled as he handed Rory a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, "trust me after all the drama that goes down at senior prom you'll want these."
"Logan my boy," Richard smiled as he returned from his liquor cart carrying a flask, "here is some very fine whiskey. In fact, it is the exact same year, brand, and label as the bottle we shared on the day of your' births."
"Right then, ok, thanks Uncle Richard." Logan smiled weakly as he accepted the flask and tucked it into his breast pocket.
"Rory! Logan!" Lorelei called from the hallway. "Your friends are here, time for more pictures!"
"Well, guess we better get going, come on Logan." Rory chirped as she quickly pulled Logan out of the room filled with their intoxicated family members.
"Oy little sister you look amazing!" Finn smiled as he twirled Rory as Emily snapped a picture.
"You don't look half bad yourself Finn!" Rory smiled as she hugged Finn and then turned to Madeleine to hug her. "You look amazing Maddy!"
"Where is everyone else?" Finn questioned as the group entered the kitchen.
"On their way here." Logan answered as he handed Finn and Madeleine a glass of champagne.
"Nope they're actually here Logan." Rory laughed as she heard the doorbell. "Colin!"
"Oh little one how are you? You look simply stunning." Colin smiled as he embraced Rory.
"Thanks Colin," Rory grinned as she turned toward Stephanie, "girl can you believe it's our senior prom!"
"Oh my God, I know, it seems like we've been dreaming of this day forever, I can't believe its here!" Stephanie cooed as she hugged Rory.
"Is this everyone?" Emily asked as the maid brought out a tray of mushroom puffs.
"Yes Grandma, Louise and Paris won't be here because their dates are best friends so they're coming together." Rory answered as Logan wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Wonderful, outside then, time for more pictures now children." Shira smiled as she ushered the six young adults back outside.
"Okay we need one of Rory with the boys." Lorelei instructed. "Think cute not just the standard picture.
"Alright Aunt Lorelei," the three boys smirked, "I think we have an idea."
Before Rory knew what was happening the three boys had picked her up. They were holding her so that she was lying on one side facing the camera. As they began to put her down Rory wrapped her arms around Logan to keep from falling and as she did he kissed her.
"Aw, so cute" Emily cooed as Francine snapped a picture, "now all the girls and then all the boys."
"Lorelei, Emily, Francine, Shira," Mitchum pleaded, "let the children go, everything will be okay."
"Bye mom!" Rory called as she climbed into the black Hummer Limo. "We'll see you around noon tomorrow! I love you!"
"God our parents are like 'stage five clingers'." Logan joked as the six of them settled into the limo. "So the two suites at the Waldorf are all reserved right Finn?"
"Of course mate two suites for ten people. I made sure they knew we need five queen size sleeping areas." Finn finished as he pulled out a bottle of vodka.
"I love you Rory." Stephanie giggled as the two of them stumbled out of the limo.
"I love you too Stephanie, and we can't forget Maddy, we love Maddy the mostest!" Rory slurred. "Logan, can u help me walk . . . I mean my heals are killing me."
"Of course they are baby." Logan chuckled as he exchanged glances with Finn and Colin who were currently helping their dates in the same way.
"Alright mates, next time we don't bring a bottle of vodka, you would think we would know by now that these girls get tipsy pretty quickly."
"I know Finn." Colin agreed. "Let's just focus on getting them into the hall without Headmaster Charleston getting suspicious.
"You alright there Ace?" Logan smiled as he offered Rory his arm.
"Of course I am Logan!" Rory laughed. "Where is our table, where are Louise and Paris?"
"At our table sweetheart which is right here." Logan gestured as he pulled out a chair for Rory.
"Psst, Rory," Stephanie giggled much later into the dance, "do you have smokes?"
"Of course I do." Rory smirked. "Where are we going to smoke though?"
"Don't worry about it, I figured it out, Maddy went to tell the boys we were going to the ladies room."
"Wait one second." Logan laughed as he walked toward the group of tipsy girls. "They are about to announce prom king and queen you girls can't disappear right now."
"But Logan," Rory whined, "we just wanted to go smoke really bad."
"Yes I know but here take a swig of this instead." Logan whispered as he pulled Rory away from the group.
"Wow," Rory shuddered as she swayed a little, "that is really strong stuff."
"Rory, sweetheart, are you okay?" Logan asked getting somewhat concerned.
"Of course I am." Rory slurred as she tripped.
"Oy mate, is she okay?" Finn questioned.
"I don't think so," Logan answered sounding concerned, "can you go ask the girls how much she drank?"
"Of course mate, I'll be right back."
"Logan, I need air." Rory murmured as she leaned more heavily on his arm.
"Alright, let go outside sweetheart." Logan replied trying to remain calm. "Rory, I need to ask you something."
"Mmhmm, what Logan." Rory replied as she collapsed on to the bench.
"Did you do anything tonight besides drink?"
"No, but I finished Stephanie's flask."
"Okay babe," Logan sighed as he opened his phone to call the limo.
"Oy Logan, the girls said she drank about double what they drank. I talked to Maddy and she said she wants me to stay with you and Rory."
"Thanks Finn I appreciate it." Logan sighed as Rory rested on his shoulder.
"Mate I hate to say this, because I care about her so much, but I think she might have a drinking problem."
"I know Finn, I've been wondering about that myself for along time now."
"Logan," Rory mumbled, "can I sleep on your shoulder?"
"Of course you can baby." Logan sighed as he kissed Rory on the forehead. "I think we've all started to realize she has a problem, do you have her purse?"
"Ya right here mate." Finn replied as he held up the light blue bag.
"Open it." Logan instructed.
"Mate, my mother told me never to go through a lady's purse."
"Ya, ya, I know Finn; she's your little sister, you know your concerned, so you're going through her purse out of concern."
"Fine, but if she asks I'm telling her you made me do it."
"Whatever Finn open it." Logan snapped getting somewhat annoyed.
"Oh shit." Finn muttered as he opened Rory's purse.
"What is it?" Logan questioned as Rory snuggled closer to him.
"Well, it's what we were expecting, but hoping we wouldn't find." Finn sighed as he pulled an empty flask of tequila out of Rory's purse.
"Alright Finn," Logan sighed as the limo pulled up, "your parents are away aren't they?"
"Yeah, tell the driver we're going to my house. I'll call Colin and tell him Rory needs the three of us more than ever."
"Thanks Finn," Logan sighed, his eyes welling with tears as he cared his severely intoxicated fiancé into the limo, "I just wish she knew how much I loved her; I just wish I could fill the void in her heart that she's using the alcohol to fill."
