A/N: I'm so so sorry for the long update. I was super busy with work and then I had some serious writer's block. But now, I'm cured. I promise to update this fic more frequently (although it will be every few weeks because I don't have Internet here, sorry guys). I decided to base this chapter mostly on the movie but I added my own Gilmore Girls twist. I hope you like. Please review and let me know what you think.


Rory sat her own desk at the Yale Daily News office. She eagerly typed her latest article, which she had been working on for the last two days. She smiled as she thought about the last couple of weeks. She couldn't believe that she was already a sophomore at Yale. Her summer vacation had been wonderful. Rory and Lorelai took another trip to Europe and spent the summer catching up with their unique mother and daughter activities. But now that she was back at Yale, she picked up her daily routine quickly and started where she left off: rooming with Paris, writing for the Yale Daily News, and loving the single life. She stopped reminiscing and started typing again but she was soon interrupted.

"Rory, how is that article coming?" Doyle asked Rory.

"I was writing the other article and it was boring. I mean mediocre material and I couldn't find a new angle on it, so I trashed it."

"And what is your new article about."

"The Life and Death Brigade."

"The secret society?" Doyle questioned Rory with a skeptical look on his face. He watched as she shook her head 'yes.' "And you have the resources to write this article?"

"Yes, I do. I've done countless research and I can assure you, I have enough material to write this article. Just imagine…an exposé on one of the most secretive and powerful secret societies on the front cover of the Yale Daily News under your reign as editor," Rory said trying to embellish her article so Doyle would publish it.

"Good work Gilmore. Go with it."

"Really?" Rory asked looking confused. She expected at least one more lecture but surprisingly Doyle offered no more.

"Yep. I thought your first idea was a little dry and boring but a space needed to be filled. Now, I expect a great article. I expect the article on my desk by Tuesday afternoon," Doyle said before he turned around and went to yell at other students.

Rory smiled in triumph and began to type again. She looked up as Logan walked to his desk. Rory and Logan had been working at the paper together for weeks now, but Rory was still surprised to see him at the Yale Daily News. She was even more surprised to see Doyle put up with his antics. Rory stopped typing because she saw the perfect opportunity to get ahead on her article. Rory walked to Logan's desk to talk to him.

"Logan, I need to talk to you about my article."

"What Miss Ace Reporter needs my help?" Logan asked smiling at Rory. Rory sighed at him. She hated his cockiness.

"Actually, I do. I'm writing an exposé on the Life and Death Brigade."

"Never heard of it," Logan replied shaking his head.

"Really? That's interesting. You see, the entire Huntzberger family has been members of this elite secret society. You're telling me you're not a member?"

"That's exactly what I'm telling you Ace. I must be the first Huntzberger that is not a member." Rory looked at Logan disappointingly and began to walk back to her desk. "Just out of curiosity," Logan said stopping Rory in her tracks, "what are you looking for? It's a secret society, what information are you expecting?"

"An inside view of the Life and Death Brigade. You know, how it works, what the members are like, what you have to do be a member, etc."

"Rory, it's a secret society. If you publish that information, it won't be a secret anymore. What does it matter anyway? I'm not a member," Logan said smiling.

Rory returned to her desk. She gave Logan a skeptical look. If he wasn't a member, then why was he so defensive? He has to be a member. I know he is, I just have to find a way to persuade him to give me that inside look, Rory thought.


Rory sat in the living room of her and Paris' suite. She was flipping through the various channels when she was suddenly interrupted by a knocking on her door. She went to answer the door and was surprised to see that Logan was standing at her door.

"Logan? What are you doing here? How did you know that I lived here?"

"I have my resources. I am the infamous Logan Huntzberger. But that doesn't matter. Meet me in the cafeteria parking lot at midnight."

"What?"

"Don't ask questions. If you want your article, you'll meet there at midnight," Logan replied as he left Rory speechless at her door. Rory smiled in triumph and went back inside to prepare for her Life and Death Brigade outing.


It had been two days since Rory met Logan in the cafeteria parking lot. Logan and his friends took Rory to a remote location, where she met other Life and Death Brigade members and learned of their lifestyle. She really enjoyed the weekend and was eager to write her article for the paper. It was the last day of their trip and everyone was preparing for one last stunt.

"What? Are you crazy? You're going to jump of the top of that building. You could die," Rory yelled at Logan. Logan had just informed Rory that their last stunt was to jump off the top of the building and she was invited to join them. "I'm not jumping."

"Rory, that's why it's called the Life and Death Brigade," Logan replied emphasizing the "death." "Come on Rory. You'll have a great time. When do you ever do anything dangerous?"

"I do dangerous things. I'm very dangerous. I'm alwayslive life on the edge." Logan looked at Rory skeptical and started laughing at her. "Ok, ok, so I'm not that dangerous. I'm still not jumping."

Rory sat on the sidelines and watched as several members prepared to jump off the building. She listened as the moderator counted down the jump…three, two, one. Everyone grabbed their umbrella tightly and jumped. However, everything didn't go quite as planned. Halfway down, Logan began to twirl out of control. He couldn't control his flight, which caused him to plummet into the ground. Rory looked on, completely horrified. When Logan crashed, Rory was the first person to rush to his side.

"Call an ambulance!" Rory shouted to whoever would listen. Logan looked pretty bad but he was still alive.


Rory rode with Logan to the hospital in the ambulance as Colin and Finn followed closely behind. The three waiting anxiously in the waiting room of the hospital, waiting on the doctor to deliver the news. Logan's doctor eventually showed up to talk with the three.

"I can't divulge too much information, considering you're not family, but Mr. Huntzberger will be fine. We'll keep him here for a couple of days for observation but he will be fine. You can check on him now if you like," the doctor reported to them.

Rory was the first one to see Logan. Rory entered his room in Intensive Care and felt sorry for Logan when she saw him lying in his bed. "Oh, Logan, I'm so sorry. Look at you, you're…" Rory trailed off unable to finish the sentence. "I'm very sorry," she repeated.

"It's not that big of a deal."

"Yes it is. You're in a hospital. I knew this was a bad idea. I should've stopped you or something. Maybe, I shouldn't have even pressed you into taking me on this trip to give me an article. Or I should've jumped with you. You know, you jump, I jump Jack. I could've helped you, anything but this."

"Rory stop!" Logan raised his voice but stopped because his sides were in pain. He lowered his voice continued, "You couldn't have stopped me. I would've jumped no matter what you said, whether you were there or not. And if you jumped with me, you would've have been able to help me. It's not your fault."

"I…I know. You're ok though?"

"Yes, I'll be fine."


Two days later, Rory made another visit to the hospital. She was greeted by the receptionist when she walked to Logan's room.

"Another visit Miss Gilmore? You must really care about Mr. Huntzberger."

Rory just smiled at the receptionist and continued to Logan's room. For the past two days, Rory had been visiting Logan to make sure he was ok. She still felt guilty about the trip. She also sympathized for Logan because he had yet to be visited by his family. So, Rory had been bringing him supplies. She brought Logan some lunch and ate her lunch with him.

After they had finished eating, Logan asked Rory, "Are you dating anyone? You and Marty are definitely over, right?"

"Marty?"

"Yea, you were dating him last year."

Rory thought back and remembered when she first met Logan. She had pretended to be dating Marty for his sake. She smiled at the memory but was overwhelmed with sadness because Marty hadn't talked to Rory since then. "Ah, yes, we are definitely over."

"You want to go out sometime. Coffee? Dinner? Movie? Anything really."

"We should get you better first. You are lying in a hospital bed," Rory replied. She was hesitant to go out with him. The last relationship she had been involved with, she was left devastated and heartbroken. She didn't think that she could face that again.

"We would have a real good time together." Rory just smiled at Logan and remained silent. "That's not a no, is it?"

"It's not a yes either."


A/N: So, it's kinda long. And I know it was mostly the Gilmore twist. But it does kinda resemble how Lon asked Allie out in The Notebook. Like I said…serious writer's block. I promise the next chapter will be better. Please Review!!
