Rory Gilmore Hayden stared at the blank Microsoft Word document on her laptop trying to think of something to write for her valedictorian speech. Inspiration had apparently chosen to go on a coffee break because nothing was coming to her. Sighing Rory took down her away message hoping that talking to other "Chiltonites" would serve as some inspiration. Her away message had been down for mere seconds before the "accept message from . . ." box popped up on her screen breaking the minimal concentration that she had. Rory glanced at the screen name, she didn't know, but everyone was getting new ones these days so she hit accept.

Ferrariguy619: hey Hayden

Babyblues904: who is this?

Ferrariguy619: ouch I'm hurt Pooh Bear.

Babyblues904: Tristan!

Ferrariguy619: ding ding ding I knew you didn't get into Yale just on the family name,

Babyblues904: Gag yourself with a spoon, what the hell do you want?

Ferrariguy619: Can't a guy talk to his true love?

Babyblues904: I'm not your true love, why the hell did you IM me?

Ferrariguy619: Honestly?

Babyblues904: No I was really looking for another patented DuGrey lie.

Ferraribuy619: Pooh Bear, we need to talk . . .

Babyblues904: Why the sudden desire to strike up a conversation . . . you're fucking drunk aren't you?

Ferrariguy619: You said it not me.

Babyblues904: Tristan, I have nothing left to say to you, I'm happy, happier than I ever was with you.

Ferrariguy619: Ror, I miss you I miss you so much. I know I screwed up but you're the only one for me, I just didn't know it then.

Babyblues904: Sucks to be you.

Ferrariguy619: Oh come on admit it, you still love me.

Babyblues904: I love you in the way that a girl will always love her first love but that's it, you hurt me, treated me like shit, leave me the hell alone.

Ferrariguy619: Is it that time of the month?

Babyblues904: Do me a favor and find a way to accidentally fall off a cliff.

With that, fuming with anger and pain hit the block button. Two miles away Tristan DuGrey smirked as he eyed the conversation. Carefully, he copied the part of the conversation in which Rory had said "I love you in a way that a girl will always love her first love" conveniently leaving everything after "I love you" out and pasted it into his profile. Phase one of his plane was most definitely complete. Shortly after Logan Huntzburger logged on and noticed a screen name that still made is temper flair. Overcome with curiosity Logan clicked the "info" button for Ferrariguy619 and what he saw made his blood boil.

Logan sat at his computer cracking his knuckles, an anxious habit he had picked up before he started kindergarten. His brain was telling him to ignore it, that the thing he had seen was easily a fake. However, Logan was never one for thinking with his head. He couldn't decide who he wanted to yell at more, Tristan for lying or manipulating his fiancée or Rory was having the nerve to say something like that.

Emotion served Rory well and before she knew it she had a fairly decent rough draft of her speech. She quickly hit the save button and grabbed her purse as she ran down the stairs to meet Stephanie at the mall to pick out honeymoon outfits.

Logan's anger mounted when he noticed that Rory had signed off, he had wanted to say something to her, it was killing him, and he had to know. He didn't care what was at stake; he wasn't going to marry someone who was out professing their love for someone else less than a month before their wedding. Logan picked up his phone and began to punch in Rory's number, then shut the phone and threw it across the room cursing loudly. He needed to get out of the God damn house; Logan grabbed his keys, the phone, and a new pack of cigarettes hoping that a drive would help to calm his nerves.

"Try this one." Stephanie called as she tossed another sun dress of the door of the dressing room.

"Mmhmm, anyways," Rory answered through the door, "can you believe he had the nerve to talk to me?"

"I know Hayden, but he was probably high or trashed knowing DuGrey."

"Ya, ya, I know. Seriously though, you understand what I'm saying when I told him I loved him a way a girl will always love his first love right?" Rory responded. "Not this one Steph, I look like twenty cents a dance." She finished as she tossed the dress back over the door and pulled her jeans on.

"Totally, I mean, I will always love Tyler in that same way." Stephanie agreed as the two of them walked toward the next store. "I mean, you can never forget your first love, it's a big event in our lives, the first person we trusted completely who had the ability to hurt us beyond our wildest imagination."

"I know Steph, I just feel like it means I love Logan less or something and we both know that's not true." Rory sighed as she admired a pair of Parada sling backs.

"Of course it doesn't mean that, we girls just have to accept that our first loves will always hold a special place in our hearts whether or not we want them to. Those would look good on you in black, and they're on sale."

Rory's attention was quickly drawn from the gorgeous pair of shoes by the ringing of her cell phone. "It's him." Rory quickly answered Stephanie's questioning glance before answering the phone. "Hey baby." Rory smiled into the phone. "Logan what the hell are you talking about, you know that's not true . . . you can't do that, Logan where is this all coming from . . . oh hell you know he's just trying to mess with . . . I do too love you, how dare you question that . . . ya well fuck you too." Rory shot into the phone as she held back tears.

"You ok Rory?" Stephanie asked with a note of concern in her voice.

"I, I think Logan just cancelled our engagement." Rory whispered as tears started to flow from her baby blue eyes.

"Oh babe, he can't do that." Stephanie smiled as she hugged her best friend.

"That's what I said and he said he doesn't give a shit he's not doing this anymore."

"What started all of this?"

"It's my fault," Rory cried on to her best friend's shoulder, "I never should have told Tristan that I still love him in a certain way. I've lost my fiancé, the love of my life . . ." She whispered before she broke down in tears completely.
