AN: Thanks for all your wonderful reviews! You are amazing! All of you!

Do I own Gilmore girls? Are you kidding me?

Two hours later Rory and Logan were sitting at the quay that belonged to their houses, dipping their feet into the water. The summer heath had made them both tired and they were sitting there in a comfortable silence. Logan couldn't remember ever spending time with a girl (except Steph) and actually enjoy her company. Rory wasn't just a pretty face, she was smart and witty too, she was unlike any girl Logan had ever met and he liked that about her.

Rory was lost in her own thoughts. She hadn't expected to get along, let alone enjoy Logan's company. He was a blond rich boy, and so far she hadn't gotten along with any of the rich blond boys she had met. Her thoughts were cut short when she felt a hand on her back. Then a little push…and all of a sudden she was in the water. Logan grinned at her from the quay. He just couldn't resist the temptation to push her in, she was so oblivious to everything that was happening around her, and he just had to bring her back to the real world. He felt like he was back in elementary school, where you had to do something mean to a girl to get their attention.

Rory glared at him before she grabbed both his legs and pulled him into the water.

"What did you do that for?" he asked a little annoyed.

"Could ask you the same question…" Logan didn't answer; instead he splashed some water at her. Rory gasped and splashed some back at him. They continued to splash water at each other until Rory jumped on Logan and pulled him under the water. When he came up he glared at her and pulled her under too. He let go, but Rory didn't come up. Logan started to feel around for her, but couldn't find her anywhere. Logan's' heart started to beat faster…this wasn't fun anymore. There was nothing left to do then to dive down. He was getting more and more worried. It didn't take him long to find her, he pulled her up on the quay and prayed to god that she was ok. Gently he placed two fingers on her neck to find her pulse. There it was; the gentle beating of her heart under his fingertips. Logan placed his ear over her face to hear if she was breathing; she wasn't. He panicked. What the hell was he going to do? Only one thing came to mind; mouth to mouth. He lowered his head and lips down towards her. When he was a couple of centimeters away water hit him straight in the face. He opened his eyes to look down at the grinning face of Lorelai Leigh Gilmore the third.

"Got you!" she said.

"That wasn't funny Rory! I though you'd…that you wouldn't…I…" he trailed of. She sat up.

"I'm sorry…I didn't think you'd get this worked up about it. I thought you'd understand that it was a joke. I'm…I'm sorry"

"It's just…a friend of mine nearly drowned when we were kids. We thought he was kidding, but he wasn't. After that I've never assumed anything when it comes to people in trouble or pretending to be in trouble in the water"

"Oh…"

"It's ok. You didn't know. Just promise that you'll never do something like that again?"

"I promise" Rory said as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Hey…what's wrong?" Logan asked.

"I just feel so bad about what I did and…" Logan smiled at her and wiped the tear away before he pulled her into a hug.

"Don't beat yourself up about it. Ok? I don't want you to do that." He felt Rory nod against his shoulder, before she whispered a quiet 'ok'.

"Come on. Let's go get changed. We can't walk around like this" he said pointing at their wet clothes. Rory shook her head; her grandmother would have a fit if she saw them dressed like this.

An hour later Rory was laying on her stomach in her bed while writing a letter to her mom.

Dear mom,

I think grandma have misunderstood the meaning of vacation. She woke me up at 7Am today! Is she insane? Anyways, it's beautiful here. I have a view over the ocean from my bedroom window. Last night I was sitting in the window looking at the sunset when this boy appeared in the window in the house next to ours. It was so funny because he was so startled when he saw me that he almost fell out! Then this morning grandma woke me up and said that I had to come down for breakfast, and that we were having breakfast with our neighbors. Guess who the mystery boy is? No other than Logan Huntzberger! Mitchum Huntzbergers son! After breakfast Logan showed me around here, and then somehow we ended up in this water war, fully clothed by the way. I decided that I wanted to pull a little prank on him, so I pretended that I had drowned, or almost drowned. You know like Joey fooled Dawson in Dawson's Creek (well she didn't drown, but she pretended to be dead). Well let's just sat that my plan completely backfired. He completely panicked because one of his friends almost drowned when they were little. I feel so bad…he told me not to beat myself up about it, but I can't stop thinking about it. And mom…I think I might like him. The worst part about it is that I think I like a boy grandma would approve of…what am I going to do?

Love Rory.

Rory sealed the letter and ran downstairs.

"Grandma! I'm going to the post office!"

"OK dear!"

She walked out the door and looked around…where the hell was that post office. Logan had taken her there earlier, but now she just couldn't remember which direction they had walked.

"Looking for something Ace?"

"Ace?"

"Yeah…the ace reporter. Dad showed me some of the articles your grandfather gave him. You've got some real talent Ace" Logan said and Rory blushed to a deep shade of red.

"Nothing to embarrassed about Ace" he said in a teasing tone. Rory looked at the ground, why did he have that effect on her? It wasn't like it was the first time she had gotten a compliment or something. But for some strange reason it was different when it came from him.

"I'm not embarrassed"

"No?"

"No, I just…I…"

"You what?"

"Hey where's the post office?"

"Changing the subject Ace?" he asked with a little laugh.

"Mhm…now can you please tell me where the post office is?"

"Come on I'll show you."

Later that night Rory was sitting in her bed reading when she heard a whistle from outside. She smiled and placed her book on the nightstand before she waked over to the window. She looked down at saw Logan climbing the ladder up to her window. She smiled. He remembered. They had agreed that there was no other way to get to know each other better than during a movie night, so here they were. Logan tried to climb gracefully through the window, but tripped and ended up in a bundle on the floor. Rory burst out laughing.

"Shh Ace they might hear us" Logan said as he stood up. His face turning red. Why did she have that affect on him?

The rest of the night was spent watching movies and eating junk food that Rory had stolen from the kitchen. Logan didn't climb down the ladder again until 2 at night. Rory was fast asleep in the bed so he just snuck out.

AN: hope you like it. Please review.
