The Vineyard 2, first meeting

AN: Sorry this took me so long…but here it is. Hope you like it.

Thanks to Laurin (Another stars hollow freak) for coming with ideas and telling me it's worth posting.

I own nothing. If I did I would not be babysitting to make some money.

"Rise and shine Rory!" Emily yelled and knocked hard on Rory's bedroom door.

"No, no, no, no, no" Rory mumbled sleepy.

"It's a beautiful day!"

"No rising, no shining"

"Don't let it go to waste! I'll be back in five if I don't see you" Rory groaned and fell down among her pillows. She glanced at her alarm clock. 07.00 AM. Had her grandmother lost her mind? It was summer vacation; you don't get up at seven when it's summer. It's like an unwritten rule or something. She was halfway back to dreamland when she heard a sharp knocking on the door…again.

"Hurry up Rory! We're having breakfast with our neighbors. You don't wanna be late do you?" At that note Rory's head shot up. Breakfast? With the neighbors? That meant that mystery boy from last night would be there…

"I'm coming grandma!" she got out of her bed, walked over to the window and looked out. It really was a beautiful day; the sun was shining from a clear blue sky and there was no wind. She opened the window and stuck her head out to find out if it was as hot outside as it looked. It was. 10 minutes later Rory walked out of her bathroom in a baby blue sundress with spaghetti straps. It stopped right above her knees and had little flowers that 'grew' up the dress. (Think 'you jump I jump jack, but much less fancy and in a sundress version) Her makeup was light and natural and her hair was in loose curls that danced on her back when she walked. She put on her sandals and grabbed a thin white jacket, took a last look at herself in the mirror and walked out of the bedroom.

Logan looked at the three empty seats at their breakfast table. He knew they were expecting company, but had no idea who the company was.

"Emily, Richard how nice to see you. It's been too long" his mother Shira suddenly said. Logan was more confused than ever. If Emily and Richard were here it meant that they hadn't sold their house. Then who was that mystery girl from last night?

"It truly has Shira. I believe you haven't met our granddaughter Rory" Emily said and nodded her head towards Rory. At the mentioning of a granddaughter Logan turned his head around and was met by the bluest pair of eyes he had ever seen. The eyes weren't the only striking thing about the girl though. She was one of the most beautiful girls he'd ever seen. Her white skin, blue eyes and brown hair made her look like and angel.

"No I haven't. It's nice to finally meet you Rory. Your grandparents have told us a lot about you. However they left out the part about how beautiful you are." Shira said with a kind smile.

"Thank you" she said with a blush and looked at the ground. Logan smiled. She looked adorable when she blushed…Rory looked up from the floor and looked straight into Logan's eyes. So that was mystery boy from last night, a very handsome mystery boy. She blinked and shook her head gently, where the hell had that come from?

"Rory, this is my son Logan. Logan this is Emily's granddaughter Rory" Shira said. Logan smiled.

"Hello Rory, nice to meet you face to face"

"You too Logan, glad you didn't fall out of your chair" she said with a little smile.

"Excuse me?"

"Yesterday…when you saw me in the window, you almost fell out. I'm glad you managed to stay on the chair" Shira and Emily looked confused at each other. Had the kids already met?

"You already know each other?" Emily asked.

"And Logan dear; what on earth is she talking about?" Logan grinned and looked at Rory.

"No grandma we don't know each other. We saw each other last night, when we were sitting in our windows looking out over the sea. When Logan noticed me he was so surprised he almost fell out. It was really funny" Rory said with a smile. Emily and Shira laughed a little, the kids seemed to get along just fine. It was exactly like they had hoped it would be.

"What are you all standing around for?" Mitchum asked as he entered the room. All eyes turned to look at him. Rory looked at him in awe; this was the Mitchum Huntzberger, the newspaper king.

"Let's start eating breakfast. I don't know about you, but I'm starving." He said and sat down at the table. The others soon followed suit.

"So, how come you're late?" Shira asked.

"Oh, one of my new writers over at the Stamford eagle gazette is refusing to write the article I assigned him"

"What's the article about?" Rory asked.

"It's about the repaving of the highway. I usually give my new writers a little test when they begin working for me, so I can see if they have any talent. This one is refusing, because he meant that it's completely impossible to make that subject interesting."

"Rory, didn't you write an article about that once?" Richard asked.

"Yeah, it was the first article Paris assigned me. I was so mad at her and decided to write the best article about the repaving of the parking lot ever, so she couldn't assign me something like that again"

"It was a really good article" Richard said.

"Any chance I could read it?" Mitchum asked.

"Ehh, I don't have it with me" Rory said.

"No you don't, but I do" Richard said.

"Grandpa…why on earth do you have my articles with you?"

"In case we came over a situation like this. Why don't you and Logan go get it? It's on my desk in the little library."

"Ok" Rory said, before she and Logan walked over to the Gilmore house.

"Is it just me or was that a little strange?" Rory asked.

"That was a little strange" Logan agreed. They walked into the library and within minutes Rory found a bunch of her articles. Logan took a peak at them and was truly impressed. This girl sure knew how to write. He had a feeling that his father would love her.

"So Rory, have you been here before?"

"Nope, first time. You?"

"Every year for as long as I can remember. I can show you around if you want to."

"That would be great! Thanks. I just have to give this to grandpa"

"Ok, I'll just wait outside" Logan said as Rory went inside to give her grandfather the articles. This was going to be a good day.

AN: Hope you liked it. Please review. There's more to come.
