While this writing I had my own soundtrack that inspired me, my choices are not necessarily what Amy Sherman Palladino would choose however I think the emotions invoked by the songs fits my theme and chapter.

Soundtrack Chapter 4

Pure Shores by All Saints

Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny) by A.R. Rahman and Pussy Cat Dolls (This song was chosen because it sounds very adventurous and I thought it fits right here) adventures)

Songs can be found on youtube

Note: Unfortunately fanfiction dot net doesn't react well to youtube hyperlinks, as a result I am unable to provide direct links to the songs

Chapter 4 - Emerging Markets

January 23, 2009 – Massachusetts

Logan decided to go to the event. While at the airport, he texts Honor as promised and then impulsively begins to dial Finn and Colin on three way. If he was going into the danger zone, he needed people to take his mind of things. He hadn't seen his buddies in ages and after 2 years of hard work, he deserved some fun.

He later hired a car at the airport and drove to his parents' house. Once getting there, he texted Honor whilst outside to let her know he was there, Honor then came to get him and then they walked into the house together nervously.

He saw a sea of faces, some he knew and some he didn't. I guess this is the emerging market contingent he thought to himself. He was following Honor's lead and which he was sure would lead to his parents. He caught his father's eye among the sea of faces and saw something in his father's eyes that he could not put a finger on. He watched him bade goodbye to the people he was talking to making his way towards Logan and Honor.

As Logan opened his mouth to respond to Mitchum's greeting in kind, he heard a screech to his left and was practically knocked down by a cloud of blonde hair. The suffocation of perfume et al made him realise it was his mother.

He saw Mitchum watching intently with a warm smile and he said, "You made your mother very happy."

His father then extricated him from his mother's hug and took him around, either introducing to new people or reacquainting him with old acquaintances. After an hour, spent making polite chit chat and being dragged from person to person, he went in search of Colin and Finn.

They moved to the pool house for a sub party where Finn, Colin, Honor and Josh gathered regaling in stories of past and having raucous fun. They were 30 minutes into the fun when Finn excused himself to take a phone call.

"Hey Reporter Girl, how was the Obama campaign?"

"Hey Finn, how are you? The Obama campaign was awesome, just got back yesterday and wanted to see how my main Finn was doing and catch up. So what are you doing tonight, any chance you could fit in little old me?" she responded.

"Tonight's not good love, I'm at a shindig at the Huntzbergers," he said without thinking.

"Huntzbergers? I thought you lost touch with Logan, why the invite?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line.

"Is is is he there?" she stuttered.

Finn's sigh answered her question.

"I'm coming over Finn."

"Look Rory I'm not sure….."

"I'm coming over Finn," she repeated interrupting. "I haven't seen him in 2 years and you have not seen him in about a year, who knows when the next opportunity will present itself."

I am going to drive down to the Huntzbergers, I'll text you when I get there and you can come and get me from outside, so that no one is alerted to my presence. Please don't tell anyone I'm coming and keep him there." she continued pleadingly.

"Rory…." He started

"Pretty please Finn."

She then asked him about the dress code, he said it was black tie and then she hung up.

She rushed to her wardrobe frantically looking for what to wear, then she saw it, she saw the blue dress, the blue dress he bought for her when she attended her first Life and Death Brigade event.

She wasn't sure if it would still fit as she hadn't worn it in years; she hurriedly took her clothes off and tried it on. It still fit, although it was a little loose at the front due to her little weight loss from the running around during the Obama campaign, she reckoned that she could still pull it off. She quickly did her hair and makeup, slipped on the first pair of silver sandals that caught her eyes, grabbed her purse and ran out of her room towards the door.

She saw her mum sitting on the sofa with the remote on her hand. She didn't want to have to explain where she was going or whom she was meeting, so she slipped through the back door, quietly tip toeing until she was out of the house and in her car driving towards Hartford.

Once getting to the Huntzberger house in Hartford, she texted her mum first saying "impromptu get together with friends from Yale, sorry to leave in a hurry, promise to make it up to you, love Rory." She then sent Finn a text to let him know that she was outside the Huntzberger house. When she saw Finn walking towards her car, she then made her way out of the car in trepidation.

"Hey!" he said as he raised his arms to hug her. He would have made his usual raucous noise on seeing her, but he didn't want to draw attention to her presence.

"Hey Finn I missed you," she replied with a chuckle as he engulfed her in a hug.

They separated and Finn began to lead her through shrubs to what she supposed was the pool house.
