Ok, this is kinda short, but I hope you like it. Read and review!
Best Couple
"Logan, don't leave. Please, I need you to stay here tonight. Just like old times, like a sleepover. Please, I need you" Rory quavered
"Sure Ace" Logan lay down beside Rory. They lay in a comfortable silence until they fell asleep, Logan's arm still wrapped around Rory.

"Rory!" Stephanie called through the door, "Rory? Are you in there? Open up, we need to have some serious girl talk" when there was no reply, Stephanie slowly opened the door and went in
"Steph?" Logan said groggily, sitting up
"Logan! No, no no no no no. If you touched her I'm going to kill you! You men are all alike. Wait until she's emotionally distraught and unstable, then you pounce. And she's your best friend to! Last time I checked, a girl who has a boyfriend does not sleep with her best friend" Stephanie backed out of the room
"What? No! I didn't sleep with her! I just.. well slept with her. But like beside her, like a sleepover. All clothes on!" Logan tried to convince her
"Then why am I not seeing a shirt on!" Stephanie shrieked
Logan looked down. True enough, he wasn't wearing a shirt, "No, it got really hot last night. I was suffocating. It was only because of the heat. I swear" Logan quickly pulled his shirt on
"Logan, promise me. Promise me that you didn't have sex with her. Not now, nor ever, are you allowed to sleep with her, understood? We all know you Logan, you would just break her heart"
"Ok, I promise, but you gotta believe me, Rory and I are just friends"
"Fine, whatever, I'm going to get some coffee" Stephanie walked out of the room in a huff. Rory's eyes fluttered open. She had heard the whole conversation. We're just friends. For some reason, those words seemed to stir a memory for Rory
flashback
"I really hope I win an award! Any award, even most anti-social student, as long as I win something" Rory beamed
"Hey, you're going to win best and brightest student, and you know it. That, along with best journalist, and best fricken sister around" Rachel hugged her sister, "Just remember us little folks when you're rich and famous, and have a million awards"
"Well, none of these awards I'm apparently going to win will be nearly as special as my Graduating Seniors Class Awards. I mean, we're graduating! All of us" Rory motioned to Finn, Colin, Stephanie, and Rosemary. Logan had already left, but Rory tried to ignore that fact. "These awards are special, 'cause we're all together. Friends forever! Besides, Rachel, we all know that you're going to be awarded best hair, or most popular, or most likely to be the worlds next top model"
"Yeah, right" Rachel laughed
"No, in all honesty luv, you're not half bad looking. Have you ever considered being a red-head? I mean, the strawberry blond you've got going is ravishing, but I'm thinking that completely red would suit you" Finn said, looking Rachel up and down
"Yeah, sorry Finn, not happening" Rachel laughed
Suddenly the Chilton loudspeakers blared to life, "Attention students! Now, I am proud to announce, the Graduating Seniors of Chilton Academy Awards!" Rory and all of the others cheered loudly
"Yeah! Let's get on with it!" Colin yelled over the din
"Most likely to become president" the speaker paused,"Paris Geller"
Rachel laughed and whispered, "Or most likely to become a communist dictator" Rory laughed quietly
"For, always together," the speaker paused again, "Finn Morgan, Colin McCrae, and Logan Huntzberger"
"These awards must be accumulating over our entire high school life. Logan's been gone over a year" Stephanie thought, out loud
"For best smile" again, te speaker was silent, "Tristan DuGrey"
"Now, I think I could argue that point" Finn said loudly, to the agreement of the others, "The only thing he's smiles about, is when he manages to get a girl home with him. Other than that, how can he possibly smile, knowing there is a stick up his ass" the groups laughter becoming slightly louder
"Hey, maybe he's not that bad" Rachel said quietly, "I mean, he's not that much different than us, right? Rich, handsome, charming, playboy, or whore in us girls case, that can describe almost all of us, right?"
"You're forgetting some points," Finn told her, "Arrogant, obnoxious, and an all over asshole"
"Whatever" Rachel dismissed their guffaws and went back to listening to the awards
"Most natural beauty and charm" the speaker was saying, "Goes to Rachel Gilmore-Hayden!"
"I told you!" Rory shrieked, hugging her sister
"Best journalistic talent, and most likely to work on the New York Times, Rory Gilmore-Hayden" the speaker announced
"No I told you!" Rachel hugged her again, "See, there was nothing to be worried about"
"Most likely to switch schools and never come back, Brad Langford!" the speaker was saying
"Oh, poor Brad, it's not fair that he had to deal with Paris so often. That much contact is bad for a persons health" Rory laughed
"And finally," The speaker said, "Best couple goes to... Rory Gilmore-Hayden and Logan Huntzberger!"
"What!" Rory said in shock, "but we weren't a couple! Besides, he left over a year ago"
"Well, you guys were practically inseparable. It was actually really cute, but people were bound to assume things. I mean, the way Logan never had a girlfriend, and the way you and Dean kept breaking up..." Rosemary faded off
"He didn't have a girlfriend 'cause he like to sleep with a different one each week! And my rocky relationship had nothing to do with him. Besides, Dean and I are happy now" Rory couldn't understand how the majority of the school could have voted her and Logan best couple
"Hey, this isn't an insult, Ror," Rachel soothed, "Don't get all worked up on it, ok?"
"I mean, I knew him since we were in diapers! That's the basis for a friendship, not a relationship" Rory rambled
"Hey, we were all really close, and have all known him forever, it's ok" Rachel put her arm around her sister
"I just miss him, that's all" Rory sniffed
"We all do hun, we all do"

"Logan?" Rory called, sitting up slowly and not finding anyone in her room. She changed out of last nights clothes, and through on a bathrobe and some pajamas, before walking into the living room
"Hey Ace" Logan said, looking up from his paper and coffee
"Logan, listen, I really should tell you something," Rory came over and sat on the couch next to him, "I mean, I really want things to be how they were before, with us I mean, like, best friends. But I feel like you don't even really know me. Can we just sit for a moment and really talk, catch up, become acquainted again?"
"Yeah, sure" He put the paper down and looked at her
"Well" Rory took a deep breath, "Ok, so, um, where to start. After you left..." Rory was cut off by the door swinging open
"Hi Rory, good to see that you're up. I got you some coffee this morning. We really need to have some girl talk by the way" Stephanie smiled as she threw some books in a pile by the door
"Stephanie, some on, please" Colin walked in the still open door, "Just come to one dinner at my parents house"
"No Colin, you know I can barely stand my own family. Anyways, you don't even like going there. What's this, you're seventh mother? How many different hair colors has this one had?" Stephanie wouldn't look at him
"No, I think we're over ten mothers now, but it doesn't matter. Please, my grandparents are forcing the whole family to get together, I have to go, please come!" Colin begged
"Stephanie help me!" Rosemary cried, running in, "Where's the off switch!"she pointed at Finn, who was following her
"Rosemary, darling, I can't see why you want to get rid of me so badly. Can't you see that I love you? I would do anything for you darling" Finn began to sing, something that sounded like really bad opera or a rendition of Romeo and Juliette put to music
Rory looked apologetically towards Logan, "Let's talk later"
"Ok" He agreed, patting her thigh
"Well, well, well, I guess I don't have to look far to find the whole gang" A voice from the door said
"Oh no" Rory jumped up and starred, "For god sakes, not you"
The figure at the door smirked, "Is that anyway to welcome me, Mary?"
Ok, short, but even short deserves a review. Make me happy and review!
