Barry finished his song and smiled out at the crowd. He loved performing in intimate settings like this. "Well tonight I have a very special treat for you." Barry started and then looked back at Dave and winked. "I have a very talented backup band. I'd like to think they are the best backup band around right now. Anyway about a year ago a very special young man joined the band. His name is David Rygalski and he's from around here." Barry let that sink in for a second. "Tonight David is going to perform a song for you." Barry turned back and motioned for Dave to come up front. "Let's give him a big round of applause."

Dave's heart was pounding in his chest as he made his way towards the front where Barry was standing. What if he bombed? It wouldn't help his case any if he bombed. No, it would just make Barry wary of his musical abilities. He sighed. It was too late to back out now, he guessed.

"Everyone this is David Rygalski and I'm sure you'll love him." Barry backed away and took a seat offstage.

Lorelai was at a loss for words. She wondered if Rory knew that Dave was in the band. "This is so big." She whispered to Christopher who was watching the stage intently.

"What is?" Christopher asked.

Lorelai wished Christopher had been around for more of the big moments. That way she wouldn't have to give him the shorthand version of why this was big. "That is Lane's first love up there performing. He left last year to go to school in California."

Christopher nodded. He knew it should have meant more to him. All he could do was say, "That does sound big."

Rory scanned the crowd to find Lane. She wanted to know how Lane was doing. Was she in a catatonic state? Rory smiled when she saw Lane smiling.

"So uh a few months ago we were doing this gig in Chicago it was for Oprah. Anyway it was day job so we had the night to ourselves. A friend of mine is the manager for the Plain White T's, so I went to their show, and then he introduced me to him. Anyway they have this song called Hey there Delilah and it reminded me of someone special. Well I changed the lyrics to fit my situation so here it goes. I call it Hey there Lane." Dave wondered how much rambling he had just done. He looked down at his guitar and started to strum.

Hey there Lane
What's it like in Stars Hollow?
I'm three thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty in memory
Yes you do
The California sun can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Lane
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give that mix tape I made you another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Lane
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday we'll pay the bills with your sticks and my guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Lane
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

Three thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Lane I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Lane
You be good and don't you miss me
One more year and you'll be done with school
And we'll be making history like we do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Lane here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Once Dave was finished he looked up and smiled. It was the first time he had done something like that in a long time. He took a bow and when he looked up she was making her way towards the stage. As soon as they reached each other they shared a long kiss. When Lane pulled back she whispered softly "I love you too."

"Would you ever write me a song?" Rory asked Logan who was currently playing with her hair.

Logan sat silent for a moment. "Would it have to be a good one?"

"Not particularly."

"Then of course I would write you a song. I would take up aviation just to do skywriting for you if it was what you wanted. I would do it all…and then some more."

At first Rory thought Logan was joking but there was this look in his eye that said that he was dead serious and that was a comforting fact to Rory. "I'm not big on skywriting but you could landscape my bushes to spell out funny things or look like funny shapes. I'm very big on that."

"I'll start my apprenticeship with a landscaper A.S.A.P."

Colin pretended to gag at how cutesy the couple was. Finn and Anne Marie were arguing over wedding plans. Stephanie was watching Paris and Jamie rather intently. This left him to just sit there and drink. "One is the loneliest number that you've ever seen…" He was feeling rather obnoxious right about now.

"Aw hush up Colin." Anne Marie slurred. She loved open bars. She also loved Barry Manillow. "I'm putting something to a vote. Should we have a wedding at the Cape in June or a wedding in the mountains in December?" The two of them had been fighting about this for far too long. Their parents told them that no matter what they had to have a date and place picked out by the end of this week.

Rory smiled. "The two of us vote Cape, because I don't feel like risking getting trapped in the mountains for a wedding."

"Mountains, I love the mountains and that way we can get drunk and then go skiing for you the bachelor party and maybe you won't have to marry Finn after all because he won't survive the untimely tumble that he's sure to make." Colin joked.

Stephanie didn't want to take her eyes off of Jamie and Paris for a second. "Beach, because it's too cold in the mountains plus my Decembers are already booked."

Finn smiled triumphantly. "I win. The Cape in June it is."

Anne Marie pouted a bit, but a quick visit with her glass of Jose Cuervo made it much more acceptable. "Fine, but I get to pick the meal."

Rory wanted to stay at the table and enjoy this, but she knew she had to go up there and make her speech, before Barry started his final set. She couldn't believe that this was the end. She kissed Logan softly on the cheek before making her way to the front. She winked at Dave and Logan who were quietly enjoying each other's company. They were proof that love doesn't fade. She stood up there in front of the microphone and watched as everyone enjoyed themselves. "Excuse me everyone I just wanted to say a few things before Barry started his final set. First how lucky are we to be here tonight. I mean this is the chance of a lifetime. For the last six months or so this has been my life. I've planned these events and watched as people enjoyed them and it has been worth it. Recently though I decided that I would go back to school which means I can't do this anymore. I think I'm one of the luckiest women in the world because of this opportunity. How many people can say that they booked Barry for their final event? I wanted to thank a few very important people. My father, who supported me and helped me get through the semester I took off. My boyfriend, who has helped me many a time make sure that an event goes off without a hitch. Once we even had to use the Huntzberger helicopter to fly to New York just to pick up linens. My friends, who help me, enjoy these events. My grandparents, who actually offered me this job and taught me everything I know about being assertive when it comes to an event, I know you are all probably dying to hear the rest of Barry's set so I only have two more people. My mother, because she's the reason I've been able to make events that are so different come to life. Finally to my assistant, Lorraine, you've been my second in command for all this time which is why I'm leaving you in charge. There is no one better equipped to take my place than you. So that's it. Thank you for this opportunity. Thank you for buying a seat, all of your money is going to help Autism. Thank you for everything. Now it's back to Barry." Rory couldn't believe she was tearing up as she made her way back to her seat. She couldn't believe she was feeling so emotional about this. She smiled when she sat down when Logan kissed her on the forehead and wiped away her tears.

Logan leaned in and whispered quietly in her ear. "You did good Ace. You did really good."

"Thanks Logan."

"They were so lucky to have, but I must admit I' more excited that now I get you all to myself."

This chapter was a little weird for me. Last chapter didn't receive many reviews so I don't know. Maybe it took me too long and people are no longer reviewing. I think I have one more chapter of this in me and then it's over. It's done. So please review. I want to know if people think there should be one more chapter or not. I hope you liked it. Oh and that song is originally called Hey there Delilah by the Plain White T's and it's really great so maybe you should give it a listen. Thanks!
