A.N.: Thanks to all my new followers and for the reviews I received, this is my first fanfic ever and I'm so excited to see how you guys like it! So here is chapter 2!
Disclaimer: As much as I wish I could say I own Gilmore Girls I don't. I borrowed all characters, setting, and some dialogue from the show, I don't own anything besides the story line I created.
Chapter 2: let the partying and making out comense
Rory and Lorelai walked into there summer home in martha's vineyard and went directly to the pool house to see how the renovations looked. Christopher got all of the party supplies out of the car and began telling all the servers and caterers to start setting up for the party.
"WOW! it looks amazing in here mom, it looks like a whole new place"
"I know sweets I must say you father picked a good decorator" Rory just laughed at her mom.
"oh yes mom all credz go to you for the purple wall paper and disco ball that I know is stashed away in a closet some where."
"Thank you! I really out did my self, if i do say so! But lets start getting everything ready and then we have to get ready or let me rephrase I have to get ready because your 18 and have skin like a baby's ass and there is nothing left to primp." Rory just rolled her eyes and began decorating.
2 hours later with the help of christopher in putting up the banner and doing one final walk through they were done and it was 4 o'clock so Lorelai started to get ready while christopher went to go make some business calls and Rory was left to finally catch up on the book she had been reading. But just as she read the first 3 pages the door to her room was pulled open and a happy screaming stephanie, rosemary, and juliet were running in to jump on her.
"WHat are you guys doing here the party starts at 7 and its 4 o' clock!"
Steph just rolled her eyes at Rory as Juliet and Rosemary began hanging their dresses and getting out all their essential tools for their hair and make up.
"We are getting ready duhhh, we only have 3 hours to get ready for tonight!"
"Ohh well I'm sorry I asked, I should have known"
They girls began to get ready and steph began doing Rory's hair in soft curls and putting it up into a bun while leaving some strands to fall close to her face. Then she proceeded to do her own hair straight while braiding two strands from each side and pinning them back. Both juliet and rosemary had their hair down with soft waves while half of it was pinned into a bun. They all did each others make up and Rory went to put on some music when Lorelai came in to check on them.
"Hey girls just wanted to see how everything was going and to see if you guys needed anything?" Lorelai then turned to steph and gestured her into the hallway.
"Hey Lorelai whats up?"
"Well..I got this dress for Rory but I know that should will never wear it because its to low or tight or something so I was thinking that you could help me convince her into wearing it?"
"Of course! Ohhh can I see the dress?!"
Lorelai held up the dress so steph could see it and her breath was taken away by the stunning dress that lorelai had picked out. It was a short dress about 3 inches above the knee that was pink and black lace that had a fitted top but had a full bottom and a black bow around the entire dress. Plus she had black satin bow heels to match.
"Ohhhh its amazing! Rory is going to look so great in this! Leave it to me she will be in the dress by the time the party starts!"
"Okey well its already 6:30 so I need to put my dress on and so you! Plus do one final walk through throughout the house and I will see all you guys at 7! Oh and thanks Steph!"
"Ill see you at 7" Steph said with a smile. Now she just had to figure out how to make Rory put on the dress. She knew she would say it was to short and not her style but that was all beside the point. Steph walked back inside the room to find Rory in the bathroom and Juliet and Rosemary putting final touches on their make up.
"Hey Rose and Jules! where is Rory's dress for tonight?"
Rosemary looked at Juliet and then pointed to the black garment back hanging in the closet."I think thats it hanging next to mine. why what's up?"
"Lorelai got Rory an amazing dress but we may need to do some convincing/sabotaging. So you both go and give Rory's original dress to lorelai and I will get her into the new one, okay? ohh and hurry back I have a feeling she is going to need all of us to tell her that it looks more that okay or maybe to Rory tell her that even though she thinks its awful it amazing!"
"Hahaha, ohh that does sound like Rory, Okay Jules and I will take care of the dress. See ya in a few."
The two girls left as Rory came out of the bathroom. Steph went over to put on her dress and hang Rory's up.
"Hey Steph can you hand me my dress I'm going to change?"
"Yeah of course! Oh and come out when you have it on I want to see it!"
"Steph you have already seen it, you were with me when I bought it.."
"will you just come out when its on, okay?"
"okay fine" steph went to hand rory the dress and stuck out her pinky.
"Promise?"
"Oh my god steph yes, I promise to come out when the dress is on"
"okay good!" Steph went back over to the closet and picked up her dress when Rory came out and freaked out.
"Steph what is this what happened to my original dress...wait did you get this from my mom? Where is my dress Steph" Rory ran to her closet and began frantically searching through it.
"steph just continued to zip up the side of her dress and then turned around to face Rory.
"Yes it is and you promised to put it on so go put it on its going to look amazing on you Rory! Oh and you are not getting that dress back I thought you were buying that for like you grandma or something. Please put it on the dress! Please Please Please Please Please Please"
"Ughhhh...Steph okay fine I'll wear it but you owe me a shopping spree at the bookstore!" Steph rolled her eyes and laughed but agreed. Just then ROsemary and Juliet came back in the room.
"Hey steph mission accomplished! Oh and by the way you look amazing!" Steph struck a pose at the two girls and smiled.
"Aww thanks guys and Rory's in there changing so be ready to face her wrath when she come out." all the girls laughed and then turned as they heard the bathroom door open.
Rory walked out and literally all of our jaws dropped.
"Rory you look absolutely stunning! I mean it Ror! steph and your mom were right that dress looks amazing on you" Rory looked down uncomfortably and then back to Rosemary.
"Rose are you sure i mean its not something I would pick I feel so exposed!" Steph took this as her opportunity to jump in seeing as it was 7 o' clock.
"Rory we all agree that you look amazing and don't worry if you feel awkward than just stick with one of us but you shouldn't because you look freaking hot Ror!" Rory blushed a deep shade of red.
"Steph I am not going down there dressed like this you can tell my mom if you want but I am not going down there wearing this dress there is no way you can make me." Steph was about to begin her rebuttal but then remembered someone that would be able to make her come down stairs.
"Fine, stay up here if you want then. Rose, Jules lets go. Rory I hope you come down soon I have a feeling that you will feel compelled to soon." With that steph, rosemary, and juliet left the room. Rory picked up her book from earlier and sat on her bed. There was no way she was going down there she thought. She was completley oblivious to the plan being contracted right down stairs by her 3 friends.
Steph, Rose, and Jules formulated a plan to get Rory down stairs. They knew she was shy but this was over the top she needed to get over her timidness once and for all and finally gain some confidence and tonight she would. The 3 girls scanned the room for Logan's sister Honor. She was like a big sister to Rory and Steph especially because they were so close to Logan. More so than Rosemary and Juliet because the core of their group was Steph, Logan, Rory, Finn, and Colin, because they only became closer with Rosemary and Juliet because they went to society parities as well.
Rose and Juliet found Colin, Finn, and Logan and began chatting with them while Steph spotted Honor just as Honor saw her and both girls began heading toward one another.
"Hey steph! You look gorgeous! I just saw all you guys over there, but I didn't see Rory. Where is she...I assumed she would be with you?"
"Aww thanks Honor and you look amazing also! Oh and speaking of Rory.. I need your help." Steph was explaining everything that was going on as she led Honor up the stairs. But as Steph was about to open the door Honor stopped her.
"Steph, do you think this is all about her being shy and not wanting to show a little extra skin? or do you think its logan and a combination of all that?" Stephanie immediately made the connection up with the mention of logan's name of why Rory was so nervous to go down stairs. Last year at the chilton graduation party for honor, steph and honor had tried to get Rory to admit she liked him, but Rory and her stubborn Gilmore ways didn't let her admit it to them.
"I going to go with the combo. She usually isn't one to care what people think, but of course when it comes to logan its always different."
"Well then steph why don't you go tell lorelai whats up before she goes looking for Rory, actually I would be surprised if she hasn't already and I will go deal with Rory."
Steph was half way down the stair when she yelled back to honor. "make sure you mention that logan didn't bring one of him barbie bimbos tonight it may make her feel more comfortable in coming down stairs" Steph and Honor were both laughing "I'll be sure to mention it, now go find lorelai!" Honor with a smile on her face took a deep breath and opened the door to Rory's room.
Rory was lying on her bed in the middle of her book when the door to her bedroom flew open, an standing there was non other than Honor HUntzberger. " Hey Rory, I came looking for you since I couldn't find you down stairs, should of known you would have been up here lost in your book."
"Hey Honor, well you found me. Oh and I gotta say you look great tonight I mean your dress is so pretty!" Honor smirked, and sat next to Rory on the bed. She was going to drag her down stairs kicking and screaming if she needed to. Rory looked amazing, more amazing than usual no doubt with he fashion help from lorelai, all she needed was a little encouragement!
"I was going to say the same thing to you I mean talk about having the 'WOW' factor!" Rory blushed. "So are you ready to put down whatever great American on novel your reading and get down to the party, it's already 7:15...and you have yet to make an appearance." Rory looked frustratedly at Honor and then down at her dress, she just wasn't comfortable being in something so out their, she loved dresses that were understated and simple.
"First, its Russian, I'm reading some of Chekhov's short stories" she said laughing "And I don't know Honor I mean if Steph hadn't conspired with my mom to get rid of my original dress for tonight then I would already be down there. I just am not one of those society girls that can pull off something like this." Honor looked down at Rory, this was about Logan.
"You know Rory, you are so much better than those girls, and just so you know there will be one less of them here tonight because Logan didn't bring a bimbo with him he just came with the other 2 musketeers."
Rory's eyes brightened with the very sound of Logan's name not to mention that he didn't bring a date made her all the more happy, but I mean its not that she liked him,right? I mean the reason that she was probably so happy was because she wouldn't have to make pointless conversation with one of his dates. I mean she was Rory Gilmore didn't fall for boys, she had only had 2 boyfriends that were summer romances. They were like crushes. She didn't want to be more than friends with Logan..did she?
Honor being very perceptive caught the glint in her eye and decided to use her distraction to get her to come down stairs. Snapping Rory out of her intense thought.
"Rory, you don't even compare to those girls just remember them, their not even on your level, and as for logan" Rory's eyes shot up from their pervious position from the floor onto Honor. "In that dress, he won't even be able to look at anyone else."
Rory blushed "Logan is my best friend honor I have known him forever, I don't like him like that, he's just a good friend who I will admit is quite cute, and he knows it from all the attention he gets from all his conquests, but I mean Logan doesn't like me either were just friends, he's a nice guy who has always been there for me like you, but its not like I would care if he was looking at me or anything, which he wouldn't be in the first place." Rory was now trying to hide the smile of the thought of Logan liking her. Oh wait is she really falling for logan, Logan, who had a huge ego, and loved attention, logan with the sexy laugh, and smirk that made her weak at the knees. wait was she really just thinking this.
"whatever you say Rory, now are you ready to go, because its 7:26 and a search party led by steph will be bursting through those doors any minute." Rory out down the book she had clutched in her hands stood up and smoothed out her dress.
"Okay Honor, lets go."
Rory made her way down the stairs with honor who left her with steph to make sure she wouldn't retreat back upstairs, since honor needed to save josh from getting pulled into more shop talk. Rory then caught up with her parents to make the rounds like all her other friends were doing. As steph passed rory, rory handed her a note. Steph excused her self to the bathroom and read the note:
'get the everyone plus honor and josh and meet at the patio in 10. pass the word along'
Steph spread the word and everyone was assembled.
Rory made her way toward the group. Steph called out to her and Loagn turned around to see Rory. He was speechless, she looked so beautiful in anything she was wearing but the way the dress complimented her she looked amazing. Rory approached the group.
"hey ace! nice for you to finally make an appearance" Logan said with a smirk. "love, I haven't seen you all night!" finn pulled her in for a big hug as colin greeted her. "reporter girl nice to see you and I'm just going to jump right in and ask why we are all out on the patio."
"well colin if you must no last year you planned one of the best sub parties we had ever had if i do say so myself! but this year I figured I would try and give you a run for your money soooo guys my mom and dad will cover for us all night and you guys can of course spend the night so shall the partying comense?"
Everyone looked so shocked to that rory had planned something like this. She was always so prim and proper. Rory was miss responsible out of the group.
"Wow Ror, I think we may have had a bad influence on you, but by al means lead the way!" Steph ran up to Rory and they ran toward the pool house.
They group arrived and was happily suprised at the room in front of them.
Rory turned to face everyone and by then Josh and Honor had also caught up with them and were stunned by what Rory had put together.
"Now last year we celebrated the summer before our last year of high school, But all in all we have made it through senior year and making it into YALE and that must be celebrated! So everyone take a glass...a toast to this last year and to this summer and to the next 4 years. Plus everyone here because well without each other we probably wouldn't have survived past our first day of kindergarden let alone YALE. Cheers"
The group echoed and her by saying "cheers"
Through out the night the food sookie made and the cake were eaten and the alcohol was definitely consumed. Rose and Juliet ended up leaving to go meet up with some of there other friends for summer, so Honor, Josh, Logan, Colin, Finn, Steph and Rory were left.
"Hey logan!"
"yeah honor whats up?"
"well...I was thinking you know what would really put this party even further over the top?!" She said as she winked at Rory. "A game of 'never have i ever' we used to play all the time when we were sophomores to liven the party up, that and truth or dare." everyone started laughing.
A tipsy steph ran up to honor "Yes lets play we always used to it will be like all those underclassmen memories, hahah the now good old days of Chilton"
Everyone was laughing at Steph's enthusiasm but all got closer together to play.
"I think that now that you kiddo's are going college we should make this a bit more adult so, if you have done it take a shot, okay?"
They all laughed at Honor. "i never go against more alcohol!" said finn as her was getting 2 bottles of tequila. Honor turned to steph.
"Alright Steph, would you like to start off?"
"don't mind if I do, thanks honor. Okay guys never have I ever had sex on the beach."
Logan, colin, finn, all took a shot as josh and honor stared at each other for a second and then took their shots. Logan looked at them and then took an extra shot.
"I really didn't need to know about that honor." honor started to laugh and turned to logan. "well logan lets just say we both enjoy our good hot, summer ,beach sex." everyone began cracking up."
"shut up honor, and finn go its your turn" finn took a shot and turned to the group.
"finn not your turn to take a shot yet, your supposed to say your thing!"
"ohhh right, okay steph truth or dare?" Steph just looked at Finn in confusion and started laughing.
"Finn were not playing that..."
"We aren't...ohh well just go with it!"
"Fine, truth"
"Who do you like as in dating wise in this room?" Ohh and new rule for this game if you choose truth or dare you have to take a shot right before"
Steph blushed and I think colin actually may have tensed but steph just looked at finn took a shot and said very softly. "Colin."
"I'm sorry love, I didn't hear you, can you repeat that."
"Colin" she said a little louder, and even though Finn heard he was being mean and decided to torture Steph a little more
"Oh love I'm sorry, what was that" he said with a smirk.
By this time steph was a little tipsier and she was frustrated with finn so in a louder voice she said with confidence "COLIN"
"ohh thats what i though just making sure" Steph looked down embarrassed and colin's eyes were awkwardly focusing on his hands as to hold himself back from grinning widely.
Steph just wanted the break thr tension so she said "Fine Logan your turn, Truth or dare?"
"dare, okay I dare you to go streaking around the pool with Finn and Colin. Ohh and to make it interesting for Honor, Josh you go also." Colin turned to steph and smirked
"You know steph if you really wanted to see me naked I could of arranged that for later."
Steph blushed hard. Logan turned to Steph "what are we doing like group dares?"
"Yes we are it will be boys against girls, what ever you dare one of us to do all of the other people of your gender must also do the action!"
Rory still next to Honor was looking down at the floor. She looked very on edge so honor decided to jump in."Hey Rory you can look up, you guys are all friends here." Rory similed at how honor caught her being uncomfortable.
"I know but I really don't need to" Honor laughed at Rory she was determined to make Rory loosen up and have some fun tonight.
"Alright fine but you may want to take a shot now because since we are doing group dares now and steph just told the guys to streak im guessing what ever we have to do won't be easy." Rory thought about it and she was right she took her a shot glass and took a shot of tequila.
"YAY RORY! Okay now lets watch the guys!" Rory looked up to see all 4 of them running around in the buff. That was when Rory's eyes found logan and were fixated on him. He had such an amazing body. Maybe I am falling for logan she thought, I mean i've know him forever and I know his true personality and he is extremely attractive.
They guys came back and Rory's and Logan's eyes met and when Rory realized that Logan new she was staring at him she looked down and blushed.
"Okay Ace, your turn! Truth or dare? Ohh and I have a new rule, you and your team get to vote on it being an individual dare or a group dare" Rory's head shot up, she thought be brave you can do this. They are your friends if your going to do something stupid then I should do it with them.
"Fine, dare"
"I dare you to make out with me 5 minutes" It was so painfully oblivious to everyone except Logan that Rory liked Logan, but the group also had their suspicions that logan also liked rory.
Honor and Steph took this as their moment to jump in! "I vote for it just to be rory!" honor shouted "Yeah i agree rory you can handle this by yourself!" Rory glared at steph and then looked at honor.
"fine" Logan made her way over to rory and led her over to the couch behind the group. Rory's heart was racing she had wanted to know how it felt to be kissed by logan for as long as she could remember. Logan cupped her cheek in his hand and leaned in. When their lips meant it was like fireworks. They couldn't get enough of each other. Rory put on hand on his chest his her other was on his arm. Logan slid hid hand from her cheek to her neck and he had his other arm wrapped around her waist as to bring them closer together.
Honor looked stunned as they were both so into it then she realized so was everyone else. Everyone was staring at the couple. Honor then realized that this was the longest 5 minutes of her life and turned to Finn who had the stop watch. "How much longer do they have?"
Finn let out a laughed and turned to face the group."They were finished 10 minutes ago. I just wanted to wait and see how long they can last. Is that okay with everyone?"
12 minutes later...The group still watched at how they never had parted.
"Okay I think I"ve seen enough, I love my brother and Rory but now that logan is on top of rory I really don't want to see what will happen next."
Finn yelled out "27 minutes and counting, are you guys almost done yet?"
Rory heard finn's voice and it was like a jolt of reality had gone through her body! She had just made out with logan for 27 minutes and he was now on top of her with his tie all messed up and both their hair was lets just say not how it was when the game had started. Rory had forgotten about everything when she was kissing Logan, she had felt that feeling of being on cloud 9 and in that moment she never wanted it to end. Every where his hands moved on her she felt tingles. Then she realized that logan had kissed her on a dare and that didn't mean that he had any feeling for her rather than platonic ones that were shared between friends. She felt surprised that she felt a twinge of sadness because of that, but she shook it off as the alcohol not letting her think clearly.
She blushed at Finn's comment got up and then sat back down next to Honor not even making eye contact with Logan, she couldn't if she did he would have been able to see in her eyes that she felt so much more for him that friends.
Honor sensed Rory's uncomfortable feelings once again and the looked over at steph who just nodded. Then steph spoke up breaking the awkward silence "Hey were going to go take our hair down and go find lorelai just to make sure everything is going smoothly out their." With that the 3 girls got up and walked out of the pool house.
Logan couldn't take his eyes off of Rory as she walked away, he always knew that she was different from the rest of the society bimbos and so was steph, but Rory could debate him on any topic he pleased. She would make witty come backs so effortlessly, just like her beauty. wait was he really thinking this about rory, his ace, the girl who had always been like a sister, one of his best friends...
"Honor, Steph why would you do that, I just made out with Logan!"
"Rory the concept of you liking my brother is weird but you guys are so great together and you like him and he definitely has feelings for you, so why not go for it!" Honor turned to Steph so she could voice her opinion on the topic, which would also back her up.
"Rory you both acted on your feelings tonight, and from the looks of it you aren't the only one who enjoyed it!" The 3 girls went up into the house where the spotted Lorelai and Chris.
"Hey girls, having fun?"
"I guess you could say that" Rory said as she blushed.
"Well don't get to comfortable their because I have a surprise for you." With that Lorelai and Chris led the girls back into the pool house. They burst through the door as the guys were discussing Logan's freak out over whether he should go and tell Rory how he felt about her and that he gave her that dare because he wanted to kiss her. Even though he wasn't the commitment kind of guy at all, he would do that for Rory because no one ever felt him feel the way Rory made him feel.
Being in a commited relationship had always scared him, he never wanted to feel tied down, but with Rory, she challenged him and she was gorgeous. She always had his attention, he just never really realized how much of it until he felt the passion they had just shared in that kiss. Now he couldn't imagine not being with Rory, and also the idea of anyone else being with her made him feel upset and sad, the though of another guy with her would he dare say made him jealous. He was quickly snapped out of hi thoughts by lorelai bursting through the doors of the pool house.
"Hey guys having fun!" Lorelai and Chris looked around the room there were empty bottles of booze every where and shot glasses for everyone. She and Chris just looked at each other and laughed at the scene in front of them. It look exactly like their sub parties wen they were younger.
"I would say we are!" logan said as everyone greeted rory's parents.
"Well" said chris as he looked at his wife."we just wanted to come tell you guys that we have a surprise for you. All of your parents think that you are spending the night here but we thought that you guys might have more fun in Stars hollow's small town world away from all the high society freaks. what do you say?"
Everyone smiled happily as Rory kissed her parents good bye and thanked them she was walking out with steph and the boys including josh. Lorelai stopped Honor quick and pulled her aside "hey what's up with Rory?"
"Her and logan made out!" Honor was beaming and Lorelai look ecstatic! "Really YAY! they are so perfect for each other finally they have been dancing around each other for years, but Rory had jess, then dean, and logan had well every girl on the eastern sea board. But yes!" Chris looked at Lorelai. "Honor will you watch out for them I mean Rory passionately making out with isn't exactly how I want to picture my little girl and, I saw colin and steph earlier and they looked pretty cozy also, not to mention you and Josh..."
"Of course don't worry about anything, it will be fine." Chris was getting called back into the main house by his father so he said his good byes to honor and left.
"Okay Chris would kill me for telling you this but I just want to make sure that if any of you guys decide to well ya know, have sex, there are condoms in every bed room in the first drawer of the night stand. I'm sure all the guys have them at the ready on them but I didn't want to take any chances also there is a morning after pill in my bathroom up stairs for emergencies, I am not naive enough to think that all you guys up there won't try something, but just be careful please. I mean I know giving 18 and 19 year olds condoms is like an invite to have sex, but I just wouldn't want anything to happen and you guys be unprepared." Honor just smiled.
"Don't worry everything is under control. Ill text you when we get there!" Lorelai hugged Honor and Honor went to the group who were already in the car. Josh and her were in the very back. Rory was between finn and logan. Colin was driving while steph was up there with him.
