Another update…I'm getting pretty regular at this…Maybe it's because school is quickly approaching and I don't want to make you suffer when it starts…Hope you like this one!

Lorelai relished the warmth of her daughter's hug. Was it possible to miss hugging one person so much? She couldn't imagine how people who lost their children could go a whole year or a whole decade without the warmth of their child's hug. She sighed as Rory pulled back. "I'm sorry to show up so randomly I just I needed to apologize. It's been too long kid. It's been way to long." Lorelai laughed a little. "I have felt like Rhoda without Mary."

Rory pulled her mother into the pool house. "Why did you stay away for so long?"

Lorelai shrugged as she sat down on one the plush couches that Emily had purchased for Rory's bachelorette pad. "I didn't know how to apologize. I couldn't find the words."

Rory understood the feeling. "I'm just happy you finally found them."

"You were on the phone when you answered the door." Lorelai pointed out to her daughter. She was going to tell her everything that had happened since their fight but she knew Rory should finish the call first.

"Just give me two minutes and then I'm all yours." Rory told her mother and then she quickly hit the redial button. "It's Miss Gilmore of the Hartford Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution." She paused so they could say oh yes Miss Gilmore we were waiting for you to call back. "I just wanted to double my order." She waited for them to question whether or not that was possible. "You know my policy. If I give you at least a week's notice it's possible. If you tell me now that you can't do it then we'll take our business somewhere else." She waited for them to back track and say oh Miss Gilmore that isn't necessary we'll fill your order. "I figured you would. Well Thank You Claudette please tell Roger it's a pleasure doing business with his store for me." She waited for Claudette to kiss her ass a bit more. She then promptly hung up and smiled at her mother. "You must think I've turned into a vicious person since our fight."

Lorelai laughed. She couldn't believe Rory had threatened a salesperson like that. Her Rory had always shied away from conflict and would let someone walk all over her before she actually would stand up for herself. "It's just proof that there is just a bit of Emily Gilmore in you."

"I've just dealt with the same linen place for all of my events since I started. They always play the same game with me and I always win."

"I'm proud of you for sticking up for yourself and not letting them push you around." Lorelai complimented her beautiful daughter. She had never thought Rory would ever learn to defend herself the way she had.

Rory shrugged sheepishly. She too had noticed that she wasn't the girl that Paris had pushed around at Chilton. She had blossomed into a woman. She could thank Emily and Mitchum for that. She couldn't help but silently think that was an odd duo to thank.

"So the linens are for?"

Rory smiled. She always smiled when it came to her events. They had become a part of her. "Well it's an event to bring awareness to autism. We're earning money to help bring awareness and to maybe find a cure. God I feel like I'm talking to a reporter whenever I talk about my events. I guess that comes when you're always in the society pages for something you're planning."

"Wait you are in the society pages?" Lorelai knew that it was hard to get in the society pages.

Rory nodded and grinned. "Yeah my events are pretty hard to get into. See this next one is a thousand dollars a seat. The best part though is Barry Manillow is performing."

"Your dad did tell me about an event you were planning where Barry was going to be there."

"Yeah I called his manager and we discussed my reason for wanting him. The only catch is I have to send a private plane for him to come out here."

Lorelai cocked her eyebrow. "How are you going to do that?"

"Well Finn is loaning me his family's private plane." Rory couldn't believe how perfectly everything had worked out. "See I'm going all out because this is my last event except for the debutante ball in the spring. Still you talked to Dad?"

Lorelai figured this was the part where she told Rory everything so that was what she did. She told her about how Luke and April, Luke and his inability to set a new date, how she had turned to Christopher these last few months because she felt alone, and mostly how she was afraid that she had made the wrong decision by choosing Luke over Christopher because Christopher had proved again and again that he was the one who would always be there for her ready to commit if she was except for that one time he found out his girlfriend was pregnant. She had watched as Rory's face changed and how she would switch between a frown and a smile. She talked and talked and then finally she was done. She had caught Rory up on everything. "So now I'm here with you in the living room of your pool house bachelorette pad waiting to see what you think about all of the things that have happened in my life."

Rory sat there for a minute not knowing exactly what she was supposed to say. She let the entire information sink in and then she cleared her throat a little. "I swear I feel like I've just stepped into an episode of General Hospital or something. Complete with love triangles and lots of tears. I think you should do whatever makes you happy Mom. I think you need to realize that if you marry Dad you're going to end up here. I think you should realize his life is here and it wouldn't be fair for him to move to Stars Hollow. I think I love you."

"You think?"

"I know." Rory clarified. "I know I love you and I know I'll support any decision you make."

Lorelai stood up and kissed her daughter on the cheek. "I needed that. I really did. On the same topic of romance Luke told me that Jess came to see you.

"Yeah he did. He was sitting on my front steps waiting for me. Logan and I were coming home from dinner with friends. Things are over between Jess and I." Rory noticed that her mother was smiling the entire time she explained the situation. Lorelai would never be a fan of Jess.

"So things with Logan are?"

Rory smirked and bit her lip. She blushed at the thought of him. She couldn't believe she was so lucky. "Let's just say we're a lot like Leo and Kate."

"You fell in love on a sinking ship?"

Rory rolled her eyes. "No that's you and Luke." Rory gave her mother an innocent smile after the last word left her lips. She couldn't resist.

"Ouch. You are meaner than Joan Rivers is to the fashion impaired." Lorelai joked.

Rory pursed her lips. "I am not going to honor that with a response."

"So if you're not like Leo and Kate in the Titanic then who is the celebrity couple you most resemble?"

Rory thought for a moment. "Okay then we're like Reese and Ryan except I'm not the bigger star I just have a bigger inheritance."

Lorelai gave Rory the thumbs up. "I like that. I love that. Your dad and I are going to be the Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck of the Hartford society. We're going to keep it on the down low. Maybe we can even keep Gigi out of the spot light like they keep Violet out of the tabloids."

"I've missed this." Rory told her softly. "So I must know TomKat or Tom and Nicole?"

Lorelai let out a resigned sigh and then clicked her tongue. "Tom and Nicole of course if only because Tom was still cute back then. Seriously what was he doing jumping on Oprah's couch and then challenging Matt Lauer to a discussion about medication. All I have to say is I miss Jerry Maguire."

Rory nodded as if she was a black woman at church listening to someone tell her the gospel. "As do I. I miss Joey from Dawson's Creek more than I miss Jerry. Seriously when is Pacey going to show up and tell her that she was far better off with Chris Klein?"

Logan parked his Porsche in the back drive next to Rory's smaller and more eco-friendly car. He grabbed the German food he had picked up on his way back from the poker game. He didn't bother to knock on the door because he figured the disuse of knocking went along with having a drawer and closet space. He was surprised though when he saw her sitting on the couch with her mother. He didn't know what to say or do. He thought about just slowly backing up. That wasn't going to happen though when Rory looked up at the smell of food. "Hey. I didn't mean to interrupt."

Lorelai turned around and saw Logan standing there with a bag of takeout in his hand. She assumed this was normal for the couple. "It's okay I was just leaving."

"Are you sure because I can just leave the food and go back New Haven? I mean sooner or later I will have to sleep in my own bed." Logan cringed. "Did I just bring up my bed in front of my girlfriend's mother who already kind of hates me?"

"Yes you do. But that's not true. I don't kind of hate you."

Logan cringed even more. "Your kind of hate has turned into full on hatred because I'm pretty sure that isn't a good thing."

Lorelai stood up and smiled at her daughter. "Chris thinks the world of you."

"Yeah but you know Rory and her dad aren't as close as you two are." Logan interrupted.

Lorelai smiled even more. She hadn't even given him a chance to be this guy. She had just assumed that because he was rich and he didn't hide it that he was a jerk. "Logan simmer down now son. I like you. I don't love you like Rory's dad does. But I like you. I am going to go back to Stars Hollow now and talk to Luke. I will see you, daughter of mine, in the next couple of days or so. And you." She said as she made her way to front door after giving Rory a big hug. "Well I'll see you if not before then definitely next weekend."

"You're coming to the event?" Logan couldn't believe that Lorelai was being so nice to him. He thought there was no way in hell that this was going to happen.

Lorelai beamed. "I am a Fanillow. If I used the computer I would join Fanillow chat rooms. I wouldn't miss a Fanillow concert for anything. Okay I would if it meant I was going to see Guns, Motley, and Poison together. It would take a super trio concert like that to keep me away from Barry." Lorelai looked at Rory. "You should warn his people."

"Don't worry I will." Rory loved that her mother was being normal around Logan. She couldn't ask for anything else.

"So did you like the gift?" Logan and Rory had searched the entire country of Monaco to find that gift. Okay so it wasn't as big as say China or even France but it did beat the Vatican in size and population.

Rory perked up at the mention of the present. "I forgot. I got caught up in and forgot. You stay there while I go get it." Rory said as she rushed towards her closet. She knew her mother was going to love this. She picked the big white box up off the floor of her closet and then rushed back to the living room. She handed it to her mother and waited anxiously for her mother to open it.

"You didn't have to do this kid." Lorelai said as she removed the top. She gasped as soon as she saw what was inside. It was a dress. Not just any dress though. It was a Pucci dress. Lorelai loved Pucci. "Oh my God you bought me a real Pucci dress?"

"It'll be perfect for the event won't it?" Rory knew her mother would like the dress. She and Logan had found it in a small boutique. She had known this was the perfect gift for her mother the moment she saw it.

Lorelai was stunned. "This is amazing." She hugged both of them. "Thank you both so much. I can't believe I own a real Pucci dress. You didn't have to buy this for me but I'm sure glad you did."

Logan could see how happy Rory was that her mother liked her gift and even had a use for it.

"Okay well now me and my dress are going to go back to Stars Hollow. This is nice. I love life without animosity or awkwardness." Lorelai joked. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do." She winked and then she was gone.

"So you two are back to being Laverne and Shirley?"

Rory shrugged and nodded. "No more like Rhoda and Mary." She kissed him softly. "You brought me something to eat?"

Logan nodded and showed her the bag.

"Do I smell…?" She paused and sniffed the air. "German?"

Logan nodded and let her see the contents of the bag. "Do I get a kiss?"

Rory bit her lip and then kissed him softly on the cheek. "You get more than that after we eat." Rory followed him to the bedroom. She moaned a little when he pulled of his t-shirt and dropped his pants. She loved it when he was standing there in his boxers. She grabbed the shirt she had been wearing and pulled it on after she had undressed. She loved wearing his t-shirts. They were the perfect size for her. Dean's would have been too big and Jess' too small. "I thought you were playing poker tonight?" She snuggled up next to him.

"I played for an hour and then I left." Logan took a bite of his schnitzel and made a mental note to eat more German food.

"Why did you leave? You hardly see the boys anymore." Rory was afraid he thought that she wanted him to spend all of his time with her and none of it with his friends.

Logan smirked at her concern. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Finn wasn't there because he and Anne Marie went out of town to see her parents. Colin was blubbering about Stephanie because Stephanie was mad about the milk maid. Robert was hitting said milk maid. Must I go on?"

Rory shook her head no. She was content with his answer. "I forgot about the milk maid."

"Yes, well she spends a lot of time going back and forth from Colin, Finn and Robert's places."

"Does Anne Marie know about this?" Rory would be mystified if Logan said that Anne Marie was okay with a milk maid shacking up with her boyfriend.

Logan scoffed. "No. Are you kidding me? Finn's apartment would turn into the O.K. Corral and the worst part is the maid wouldn't even understand. Colin is in the process of sending her back home."

"Why is there a process?"

Logan shrugged and rolled his eyes. "It's Colin. Everything has a process. Still I must admit I also left because my father paged me."

"Why?"

Logan took a deep breath. He wanted to tell her right away. He didn't want her to think he was hiding it from her. "He wanted to talk about next year."

"And?" Rory asked rather uneasily. Mitchum had a tendency to make her nervous.

Logan gulped. "And he decided that after graduation I am going to get on a plane and fly across the ocean to England, London to be specific. I'm going to work there for a year."

"London?"

Logan nodded in confirmation. "London."

"Well…" Rory paused for dramatic effect. "You are very lucky that not only do I love fish and chips, but I also for a weird obsession when it comes to William and Harry, Fergie and Andrew, Camilla and Charles, oh and my all time Posh and Becks. So you see London is going to fit our relationship perfectly."

"Are you sure? I mean I realize it'll be long distance but…" Rory stopped him with a kiss. She kissed him and she made him forget all of his worries. She kissed him and she even convinced herself that if they could survive Jess not even an ocean couldn't break them up. "I love you Ace." He whispered softly as he ran his fingers through her soft brown hair and gently kissed her neck.

She let out a satisfying sigh. She loved it when he ran his fingers through her hair. "I love you more."

Logan pulled back and looked her in the eyes. "There is no way that is possible because I would kiss Star Jones if you asked me too."

"You don't want to play this game because I will totally win."

Logan smirked. "Do I hear a challenge?"

"I'd sleep in the same bed as Andy Rooney for you."

Logan shrugged his shoulders as if that was nothing. "I'd marry Liza for you."

"Liza? You'd marry Liza Minelli, a man beater for me? Well that would be sweet and everything if I weren't willing to go on a date with Mike Tyson for you. Liza may beat her husbands but Mike bites people's ears off. He bites them off. He bites them the hell off."

Logan wasn't sure what beat a date with Mike Tyson. Then he realized he couldn't beat it but he could tie it. "I may not be able to beat it but I can tie it. Okay so I would be willing to share an ice cream cone with Tommy Lee."

"That is love. I'm so happy we'd be willing to do horrible things for one another." She softly drew circles on his chest. She loved the way it felt to be in his arms. It was like nothing else. "I still can't believe you'd share an ice cream cone with Tommy Lee. I mean…ewe."

"You can't ridicule me for loving you so much." Logan then started to laugh. "Hey I'm not the one willing to share a bed with Andy Rooney. What about Trent Lott? Would you share a bed with Trent Lott?"

Rory cringed. "That is like me asking you to share a bed with Barbara Walters. It's just not a fair request."

Okay so that was the update. I don't know if I really liked this one or not. I thought it was pretty good. Definitely not my favorite though. Oh and the title of the last chapter was in reference to Paris. She was batshit crazy. It was the best title I could think of. I hope you liked this one though. I really did try. So review please. I had never considered a sequel to this but maybe. I don't really know what it would be about. Still review please. Thanks for reading!
