Hey guys! Thanks to those who reviewed! Your review and your input in the really puts me in a good mood! Author's Note at the bottom!

By the way, you may have noticed that I changed the title of this story. The first title was just something that I came up with really fast because I couldn't think of anything else and I needed a title to post this story. Hope you like the new one!

Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls or anything affiliated with the show. I also do not North Carolina or Las Vegas. I wish I did though...if I did, I would totally make it into it's own country and be the ruler of it. Wow, okay I'm going to go see if that's even possible...

The girls spent the rest of the morning getting their plans together. By the time Stephanie had to get back home, the jet was ready and the hotel was booked.

Now, Rory was working on her article while waiting for Logan to get home from work. Luckily, she was able to work from home, only having to go into the office every once and a while. Logan only worked on the weekdays and he rarely ever had to work past five.

She heard the front door close and a few minutes later, her husband walked into their bedroom looking exhausted. He flopped down onto the bed and closed his eyes.

"We finally bought that small paper in North Carolina. The owners finally accepted our offer."

Rory shut down her laptop and curled up next to Logan.

"I'm proud of you babe," she said.

Logan wrapped his arms around her, "It was no big deal. They were more willing to accept the offer when it came from me, I think that my father scares them."

Rory laughed, "Yeah, I know the feeling."

At first, the Huntzbergers didn't like Rory. Their reasons being that she wouldn't make a very good trophy wife.

That was one thing that they could agree on.

Over time though, things got a lot easier. Honor had always loved Rory, and slowly, Mitchum and Elias were also accepting of her.

Shira was a lot harder to get along with. Although, when she learned of Rory's inheritance, her resolve broke and she just had to like her.

Rory was never a Hayden. Sure, it was on her birth certificate, but nobody ever knew her as Rory Gilmore-Hayden. She was always Rory Gilmore, so imagine her surprise when her dad informed her that she was going to inherit all of the Hayden fortune. Her little sister, Gigi, had a trust fund set aside for her, but other than that, Rory got everything.

Of course, Lorelai saw this as an opportunity to "blow all their money while laughing evilly". Although, Rory saw this as opportunity to help calm the rough waters in her family.

She took the first chance she got to talk to her paternal grandmother. It was the day after her grandfather died. She knew that both her dad and Francine would be a wreck. Rory told her dad to go out and just blow off steam while she took care of her grandmother. She brought everything that was needed to have a true Lorelai Gilmore movie night.

Rory remembered that day perfectly.

*Flashback*

Rory was walking up the steps to the front door of the giant mansion that was sprawled in front of her. It was probably three times as big as her other grandparent's house. She stood there for a few moments, trying to force herself to ring the doorbell. When she finally did, her little sister opened the door.

A huge grin appeared on her face, "Rory! What are you doing here?"

Rory knelt down in front of her and engulfed her in a warm hug, despite all of the items in her hands.

"I'm here to make you and grandma feel better."

Gigi, being four years old, just shrugged, "Okay. Nana is just sitting in front of the TV, but she isn't even really watching it. I know because the person said something really funny, but she didn't even laugh."

Rory handed a few bags to her so that she could carry them into the kitchen.

"Well baby girl, hopefully the two of us can make her laugh. Can you show me where the kitchen is?"

"Uh huh," the little girl replied, "Nana! Rory's here to make you feel better!"

At first it was silent, then when the two sisters got to the dining room, Francine came into the room from the opposite direction. Her eyes went wide as saucers and her jaw hit the floor.

She struggled to speak at first, until she composed herself.

"Rory?"

Again she seemed like she was trying to find the right words, "What are you doing here?"

Rory sighed and looked the disheveled woman in the eye, "We are three girls, we have junk food, and we have movies. We are going to wallow."

Again, Francine struggled with her voice, "Wallow?"

"Yeah, wallow. You do it when you go through a breakup, or bad grades, or whenever something bad happens. I know that this isn't just something bad, this is a tragedy. But, wallowing...it helps," she closed her eyes and when she opened them again, she saw a shadow of a smile on Francine's face, so she continued, "It won't make the pain go away or fix the problem, but wallowing...it helps."

Francine stared at her for several more seconds before she said quietly, "The kitchen's this way."

That night, the three of them spent the night curled up on the couch, eating junk food and watching movies that tugged at their heartstrings.

That is how Christopher found them the next morning, Gigi curled up in Rory's arms and his mother's arm was draped over the two of them, the both of them.

*Flashback*

Rory and Francine were really close now. She was way more laid back than Emily and in the eight years since that night, they formed a bond that was usually formed in the early years of a grandchild's life.

So, you could say that she was well-off. Well, more than well-off, she was a billionaire and everybody knows that billions of dollars equals the Huntzberger's love and affection.

She had not noticed that she had completely zoned out for the last five minutes, until Logan shook her out of it.

"Ace? You okay?"

She turned towards him and smiled, "I'm perfect."

His eyebrows were still creased with worry, which made Rory smile even wider at his concern.

"Are you sure? You were completely out of it."

"Trust me, I'm sure," she paused, "We're going to Las Vegas."

Logan's eyes snapped open in surprise, "What did you say?"

Rory sat up and straddled him, "I said we're," she planted a kiss on his neck, "going," she kissed his jaw, "to," she kissed his nose, "Vegas."

Rory finally kissed him right on the lips, a kiss that he eagerly responded to. Logan rolled her over so that he was on top and they spent the entire night in their bedroom, glad that they remembered to lock the door.

"How about a few balloons?" asked Taylor.

"No."

"Well, how about a sign? Just put it up in your window."

"Will it be a flashy sign?" Luke asked.

Taylor shrugged, "Of course! It has to catch people's attention. That is the point of having a sign in the first place!"

"Then, no."

Luke turned to refill customer's coffee cups while Taylor continued to follow him around the diner.

"Lucas, I have been way too tolerant with you over the years. Now, this is the Start of Summer Carnival and I would like if you would participate in it!"

Luke turned to face the town selectman, "Taylor, it is only the beginning of May. Summer doesn't even start for another month! I refuse to be apart of all this," he pointed towards the door, "Now out!"

"I'm not leaving until you agree to a sign!"

"Taylor," Luke growled.

"Fine," Taylor started towards the door, "but how are you going to feel when you are the only one without any decorations up?"

"I'll be filled with regret, I'm sure," he answered.

When Taylor finally left, Luke sighed in relief.

He heard the phone ring and he went to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Luke."

Luke almost dropped the coffee pot in surprise at the voice on the other line.

I know I haven't updated in what seems like forever! I haven't had access to the computer that I write on because my mom has been out of town...Hopefully this chapter will make up for my lack of updating. It is the longest chapter I've written so far.

Can you guess who was on the other line? I know that I kinda left you guys with a cliffhanger, but I've already got the next chapter more than halfway written! So, expect an update maybe next Thursday or over the weekend. I know...I'm saying you guys have to wait again, but I will not have access to my computer until then. The joy of having divorced parents, right?

Any questions/comments/suggestions? Please either leave them in your review or you can PM me cause I would love to hear your input!

Please review! I've noticed that I seem to have lost some readers...well I'm not exactly sure, but they haven't been reviewing. I'm not mad or anything, I just hope that this story gets better so that more people like it!

Last chapter's question was: Who is your favorite Gilmore Girls character?

Mine would have to be Kirk. He is completely hilarious and he really brings color to Stars Hollow. I especially love Cat Kirk (when Kirk named his cat Kirk and then things got crazy at his house!). I also love when he asks out Lorelai on a date in the second season (?). Oh, and when he gets blinded by the traffic camera and crashes Taylor's car into Luke's Diner. So funny!

Question: What is your favorite Lorelai/Rory moment?
