Weekends are hard for me to write and it's a 4 day for my SO. I won't be writing until Tuesday! Have a great 4th of July holiday!

Okay Now I know I'm on a roll. I'm on the 8th chapter and I've written them all in 3 days. Crazy right?! Okay like normal: R&R, I don't own GG or any restaurants or businesses. I try my hardest to double check grammar and spelling but I might miss. If I do, please call me out. This chapter will focus on Stars Hollow and shopping.

Also the pre Yale story line is the same. Rory dated Dean and Jess and then she went to college and met Tristan.

Paris is dating Jamie in this one. I always thought that her and Doyle were odd and her and Asher were just plain creepy!

Also you'll meet James in this one. His parents are from Litchfield but lease an apartment in New York (like I said in the last chapter). He's not poor but he's no where near as rich as the others.

Where we left off:

"How about we all go to Stars Hollow? I told Finn about the craziness and he wants to see it soon. Plus I think there's a festival tomorrow."
"Oh a festival, really?"
"Yeah something the school is putting on."
"Okay. Let me grab some clothes, you go to Finn's and drag him here and we'll go together."

-Finn, wanna see Stars Hollow? Logan and I are going for the night and want you to come too. There's a town festival!
-Where are you? I'd love to go!
-I'll be at your house in 10 minutes!

Rory went and got Finn and they both went back and got Logan. In that time, Rory called her dad and let him know that Logan and Finn would be there for the night. Since it was so late, they would probably just sit back and watch a movie but tomorrow they would join in on the festival.

Rory had one phone call to make.

"Hey Paris! What are you up to tomorrow?" Rory asked her friend Paris.
"I'm studying and studying and oh ya. More studying." Paris replied.
"Well do you think you could take a break for a day and spend some time with me in Stars Hollow? I have so much to catch you up on."
"Yeah I can. I'm going to bring Jamie with me. What time do you want me there?"
"Whenever. I'm in town for the day. I leave Thursday afternoon for Cali again."
"Sorry we couldn't make it for the funeral. I've been in my study cocoon for days now. I could actually use a good break."
"That's fine. So I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah we'll leave from New Haven around 10."

The call ended abruptly. They got to Stars Hollow and noticed everyone was setting up for tomorrow and Rory had an idea.

"Do you two want to walk around for a minute? You'll probably see some hilarious things going on. Set up is always great."
"Sure Ace, whatever you want to do. Lead the way."
"What time is it?"
"10."
"Hmmm. I wonder if Luke's is open still?"
"Well Love, only one way to find out. Lead the way."
They walked around the square and then Logan noticed that people were staring and talking.
"Ace, why are they all staring?"
"Oh it's because you two are new and we just pulled up in a town car. They're not used to it."
"But your parents and grandparents."
"Well my dad drives a Prius and my mom a jeep so they're pretty common and my grandparents only come here for holidays and birthdays and even then they just drive the jag. They don't have drivers."
"So we're too fancy for this neck of the state?"
"Basically yes."
They kept walking when they heard someone say her name.
"Rory!" Someone yelled and started walking up to them. It was Dean, her ex boyfriend.
"Hey Dean. How are you doing?"
"I'm doing okay. Working all the time now. Who are these two?"
"This one here is my boyfriend Logan and his best friend Finn."
"Correction love, I'm your best friend too." Finn interjected. "Remember, besties for life."
"Yes Finn. Besties for life."
"Oh I was hoping we could have coffee sometime." Dean said looking rejected. "But I see that you're taken."
"Yes I'm happily taken. Dean we tried dating. It didn't work. I just won't settle. I did with you, I did with Jess, and I did with Tristan. No more settling."
"So being with me is settling?"
"For me it is. I need someone who can keep up with me intellectually and match my sarcasm. I'm sorry. I don't want to lead you on or hurt you more. You were a great first boyfriend but that's what you are."
Rory started to walk away and Dean said one more thing.
"I'll always love you and be here for you if he breaks your heart."
Logan answered him "Don't worry buddy. I won't."
"Rory, love, I think you might have made Farmer Joe there cry." Finn laughed.
"Oh he's just always been jealous like that. He tripped out when I was Juliet to someones Romeo in school."
They walked up the block and noticed that Luke's was still open. Rory made her across the street and into the diner when Finn and Logan stopped.
"Are you guys coming?" Rory asked them.
"Ace you're about to go into a hardware store. Why?" Logan asked.
"That was the name of his dads shop. Truthfully I think he keeps that up so that it distracts out of towners." Rory laughed. "Come on. These are the best burgers this side of the Mississippi."
They all went inside and Rory noticed there were a lot of people there for 10 PM.
"Luke, what's with the late night rush?"
"Town meeting just let out. I decided to open up." Luke replied. "Just you?"
"No me and the two guys behind me." Rory turned around and noticed that Logan and Finn weren't with her. "What the... where did they go?"
She walked to the door and noticed that Patti, Babette, and Morey were circling around them.
"I'll be right back. I have to save them from the town. Put on three burgers, orders of fries, and we'll have milkshakes too."
Rory ran outside and went to Logan.
"Hello everyone. I wondered what was keeping these two. I should have known." Rory said to the three crazy townies.
"Rory dear. I should have known that you brought them here. You should tell me what factory that you get these men from. I need to pay it a visit."
"Love, I'm slightly frightened. They mean no harm correct?" Finn said kind of scared.
"No harm. They're just curious."
"Sugar! I haven't seen you in ages. Sorry to hear about your grandpappy. Was he the tall one or the dark haired one?" Babette asked.
"Dark haired. Thank you, he will be missed. Now I hate to break this up but we have dinner waiting inside. See you later."
"Will you be at the carnival tomorrow Sugar?"
"Of course. We don't fly out until Thursday."
"So Rory," Mrs Patty pulled Rory to the side "Which one is your man?"
"The blond."
"So the foreign one is mine?"
"I think he's spoken for as well."
"The best ones always are. See you later dear. Goodbye boys."
"Why do I have a feeling that we're being stared down?" Logan asked.
"You two probably are." Rory said
"You were right love, this place is insane. Hopefully you're right about the burgers too. I'm starving."
"I promise that this will be the best food that you've ever tasted."
"See Luke! I wasn't crazy! I wasn't. I told you I had two people following me." Rory said to Luke. "Luke, this is Logan my boyfriend and Finn his.. I mean our best friend."
"Hey guys. You... blondie... She's pretty much Stars Hollow's princess. Don't hurt her or I'll make sure the crazies don't take their medicine and find you." Luke warned Logan.
"Don't worry. It won't happen but I'm glad she has people looking out for her in case I'm not around. Watch out for her crazy ex. Farmer boy."
"Dean?"
"Yes."
"I hate Dean."
"Good so do we." he said pointing to him and Finn.
"What did he do? Do I need to send someone after him?"
"No you do not need to send anyone after Dean guys." Rory said. "He won't hurt me."
"He will try to pick you up though." Logan said.
"Maybe but I'm committed. Luke where are those burgers!"
"Here you go." Luke walked around and brought three plates around the counter and sat them down on their table.
"Finn, Logan, I promise these will be the best."
They started their dinner and Rory noticed they were both smiling.
"Love, you were right about everything. Logan, you should get used to this. She's right about everything so far." Finn said laughing.
"I know, I know."
Everyone finished eating and then they realized how tired they were.

"Okay everyone. It's 10:45. I think we should go back to my house and watch some movies and fall asleep."
"Sounds good Ace. Finn, you ready?"
"Alright Love, as long as I can take this milkshake to go."
"Okay lets go back home."
Rory led the boys back to her house. They started walking up the walkway and Logan noticed that sign again "The Twickham House".
"Hey Ace! What does this sign mean? The Twickham House?" Logan inquired.
"Oh it was established in the mid 1800's and the Twickham family owned it the entire time until about 15 years ago when Old Man Twickham died. My dad bought it for my mom. She was totally surprised but they moved in and this has been home since. They decided to keep the sign so it preserves it's historical value. A few years ago, mom and dad wanted to do some updating but Taylor Doose, the town selectman which is basically Stars Hollow's mayor, said they had to go through so many codes and everything. It was crazy! They finally were able to update it but it took so much more than it should have. Tomorrow, I'll have to take you to our first house. My grandparents absolutely refused to go there because it was only one story."
"Gilmore, your life is so much different than ours. I still can't believe that you were 30 miles down the road for us our entire lives!" Finn said hugging Rory from the side.

Christopher and Lorelai were sitting on the couch watching 'The Brady Bunch' reruns on cable when the three walked in.
"Hey guys! How's the crazy town of Stars Hollow?" Lorelai asked.
"It's actually a little odd tonight. We ran into Dean." Rory said. "It was weird. I think he still loves me."
"Well Ace, you are very unforgettable." Logan said looking at Rory.
"Maybe, but he was married. Even if I wasn't with you, Logan, I've grown up. I'm a completely different person than I was in high school. He's still immature and thinks that everything would be the same."
"Hun. I know that you've grown up." Lorelai started. "So I'm going to tell you the truth. I don't think Dean will ever be over you. You're pretty hard to get over."
"I'll second that." Logan said.

The rest of the night was sitting with Chris and Lorelai just watching TV until Rory started falling asleep on Logan.

Christopher moved Lorelai who was asleep on him. "Okay everyone. I think it's time to go to sleep. Boys, I have the guest room ready for you. Two twin beds. Upstairs to the left."
"Thanks Mr. Hayden." Logan said respectfully.
"Call me Chris. I'll be seeing you around a lot more I guess."
"Yes you will. Come on Finn let's get upstairs."
"Right behind you Buttercup."
"Night Ace." Logan bent down to give Rory a sweet kiss.
"Night Mac." Rory sleepily answered. "I'll see you tomorrow when all pistons are firing."

Rory woke up that morning and noticed that her mom was already sitting on the kitchen island with her coffee.
"Hey sweetie." Lorelai said. "Coffee's on. Do you want a cup?"
"Of course. I'm Rory 'Coffee drinker' Hayden"
"So things seem to fit with Logan don't they?"
"Yeah. It's so surreal. I can't believe that last week I didn't know him and this week I can't stop thinking about him. Do you think we're moving too quick? He told me he was falling for me."
"Hun. I think you're older now. I think that since you're older you know what you want. I think you're not going to settle until you get what you want."
"So is that a yes or a no?"
"I don't think that you're moving too quick but I also think you need to realize that dating at your age to your grandparents means they can start planning the wedding. So if you ever do get engaged, you won't have to plan a thing. Grammy Francie and Grammy Emily will both have it planned."
"Great. I'm so thrilled."
"Do you think that I could love him after 5 days?"
"I think that you could lust him after that many days. I know that I started falling for your dad that quickly. Well kiddo what are you plans today?"
"Paris and Jamie are coming down and we'll all go to the carnival together then I don't know. Probably call it an early night since we're leaving tomorrow."
"Kid I'm gonna miss you."
"I'll miss you too mom. You can always come visit."
"We'll make a stop there on our world tour. Your dad and I are going to leave the day after Georgia's graduation for our three month expedition."
"That's crazy. You'll have to make sure to send pictures and videos of everything!"
Lorelai and Rory kept talking until Logan and Finn walked downstairs.
"Good morning beautiful How did you sleep?" Logan asked Rory.
"Yes gorgeous, our sleeping accommodations were wonderful. Very homey feeling." Finn added.
They finished breakfast and started getting ready for the day. It was getting to be 10 so Rory decided to call Paris to make sure they were still coming.

"Paris are you on your way?"
"We're leaving here in 10 minutes or so. Where are we meeting? Lukes?"
"Yes that's perfect. See you in a bit."

Rory went to the living room and saw that Georgia, Finn, and Logan were all watching TV.

"OK kids are you all ready for the day? Paris is leaving New Haven shortly and we're meeting at Lukes."
"We just ate breakfast Ace. I'm stuffed." Logan said
"Well then just get coffee. I'm totally in the mood for a donut. We still have about 20 minutes. What are you watching?"
"I Love Lucy." Georgia said without looking at them.
"Oh which episode?"
"The one where she goes to work."
"I love this one." Rory sat down and finished the episode with them. After it was over she looked at Georgia.
"So G, are you coming with us? We're going to the start of the carnival."
"Maybe soon. James is coming down at lunch."
"How has he been? I haven't heard you talk about him much."
"I think I'm going to break up with him. I love him still but I don't want to go to college tied down. I saw how hard it was for you and Dean. It didn't work."
"Yes but Dean and I didn't work for a number of reasons. Also, I know that he's not going to fit into my new life. He's great and kind but he's intimidated by our 'rich and fabulous lifestyle' he calls it. If he thinks occasional dinners with the grandparents is difficult, he isn't going to like the party next weekend when we're announced heiress'."
"Georgia, I know we don't know each other but it's difficult dating someone from a different social class. There's nothing wrong being friends with them or dating them when nothing is expected of you but once people start seeing you in the light more it can go one of two ways." Logan started explaining. "Either they'll crumble and fall away or they'll be with you only for the money. Neither of them are good. Both lead to heartbreak. I dated a girl who was from simple upbringings and it ended up that she was only with me for my name."
"That's why I don't date." Finn announced. "Dating only leads to heartbreak."
"Well how do I figure it out?" G asked.
"Take him to the next social gathering and make sure Steph is there. She'll find out." Logan stated.
"What do you mean she'll find out?" Georgia asked curiously.
"Steph knows everything. She knew about Stacey, the gold digger, from when we first started dating."
"What about the party in a couple of weeks?"
"Does he have a tuxedo and everything? This party is going to include everyone who is anyone. You don't want your first official step into society to include someone who isn't dressed for the occasion."
"Should I have my dad help him?"
"Yes." they all three say unanimously.
"Okay. Maybe we can bring it up to him today and you can talk about it and see what he's like? I don't want to have to worry about how he acts and what he says! Ugh! I should be nervous about what I say but I'm nervous about what he's going to say! I need coffee!"
"Then come with us little sister. We'll meet Paris and Jamie and all of us can walk around and we'll just talk. I promise it'll be okay." Rory said comforting her sister.

The four of them walked to Lukes Diner silently.

"Oh I see Paris' car and it's parked in front of a no parking sign. Taylor is going to flip." Rory said laughing.
"Oh here comes Kirk!" G said "Oh he's going to be excited! He'll be able to give someone a ticket! Oh wait here comes Paris. Paris is about to flip out and she's taking her shoes off. Kirk looks scared. Oh no! Oh thank God Jamie is coming out. He's got the keys and he's moving the car."
"This town is never boring is it?" Logan asked.
"No never." Georgia and Rory both answered.

They got to the diner and were still laughing.

"Everything for her is on the house today" Luke said pointing to Paris. "She just made my month. Too bad the boyfriend pulled her off."
"Hey Paris." Rory said hugging her then Jamie. "Hey Jamie. How's med school Paris?"
"Great, tiring, hard. All of the above." Paris answered. "I'm finally in my last year though! Who are they?"
"Well Paris. This right here is Logan and that's Finn. Logan and I are dating. Jamie, do you know where you're going for your internship?" Rory asked.
"Well Paris and I were thinking somewhere on the west coast. We both need some sun." Jamie responded. "I got accepted to Stanford's internship program, I can start next year. Paris got her acceptance letter as long as she graduates."
"Well I think that would be great! Finn. You should relocate to Palo Alto. Then I can have everyone close to me."
"We'll see darling." Finn said. "So you're Paris and Jamie?"
"Yes. Jamie Campbell and Paris Geller." Paris told Finn and Logan. "And you're Finn and you're Logan?"
"Yes. Finn Morgan and Logan Huntzberger."
"As in Mitchum Huntzberger?"
"Unfortunately."
"Well lets eat and then go to the carnival." Rory told the group.
"Sounds good. Luke! We need menus." G called out.
They all ended up eating and getting to know each other better. It turned out that Paris and Logan knew each other from preschool.

"So Finn. Where did you grow up?" Paris inquired. "Did you grow up in Australia or in the US?"
"Well love. My parents were married in Australia but had me in the US so I am a US Citizen but they wanted me to live with their family until I was 8 when they got into a fight and moved to Hartford. I've been here ever since. I met Logan and Colin when I was in 4th grade at Elm City i think it was. Right? We were actually good. We were good little boys until 8th grade or so. Then we went to a combined total of 14 different prep schools. Our parents figured out that we weren't good together."
"14 different schools?" Rory said exacerbated.
"I went to 8, Colin only went to 2, and Logan went to 4." Finn explained. "I was the worst of them but it's only because I rebelled after my parents divorced. Oh and I'm going on a bad tangent. I'm over it. I'm grown up."
"So onto cheerier subjects," Rory segued. "Georgia is going to look at Sanford for undergrad school! She's flying in Saturday and she'll spend the week with us! Do you need me to call anyone at Stanford? Oh and Lane is coming to spend the week with me too!"
"So there will be three girls staying at your house all week?" Finn asked eagerly. "Oh I'm so coming to California next week! Logan, let's plan a week together!"
"That's fine." Logan said. "Ace, remind me we need to call Colin and Steph about your party."
"You two are already cutesie." Paris said bluntly. "It makes me gag. Let's get going. Are we waiting on anyone?"
"Let me text Lane and see if she's meeting us."

-Lane, Group of us are going to carnival. Can you get away or are you packing?
-Can't. Spending time with the boys and packing. How much should I bring?
-It doesn't matter. We'll shop. I'm excited about you coming and I've got extra funds to blow!
-So small suitcase with toiletries and extras?
-Perfect! See you tomorrow at 10!

"Okay so Lane is spending time with the boys and packing so she can't meet us so we're not waiting for anyone. Let's go!"

They walked and noticed that there was a bigger crowd than normal.

"G. What events do they have lined up for this? There are a ton of more people than normal." Rory asked.
"Apparently Taylor got someone from New York."
"Hopefully, it's not the Lazy Hazy Crazy days of Summer band again."
"It's not summer. Why would Taylor have them?"
"True but it's Taylor."

As soon as she said that, Taylor walked up to them.

"Hayden girls and company. How are you today?" Taylor asked chipper.
"Good Taylor. These are some of our friends from Hartford. This is Logan, Finn, Paris, and Jamie. Guys, this is Taylor the town selectman." Rory said pointing to the individuals. "So Taylor who's the band this year?"
"It's a zydeco band from New York!" Taylor said excitedly! "They're great and they brought a following!"
"Zydeco music!" Finn exclaimed. "Logan, do you remember the alligator lounge in New Haven?'
"I remember leaving early when you took over vocals." Logan said with a grin on his face. "Come on Ace. Walk quickly. You don't want to see Finn with Zydeco music. It's scary."
"Okay guys. We're going to walk around." Rory said. "You're welcome to come with us or walk on your own. If you go on our own text me when you want to meet up."
"James should be here soon so I'll walk with him." G said. "But I'll walk with you until he calls."
"Jamie and I want to see how this town works. I told him about Kirk but he doesn't believe me." Paris said. "I'm here to prove him wrong."
"Anything she said about Kirk is the truth."
"Does that include butt naked in the bushes?" Jamie asked.
"Which time?" Rory added.
"So she wasn't exaggerating?" Jamie
"Nope. Not at all."

They went their separate ways and Rory ran into Sookie, Jackson, and their four kids Davie, Martha, Simon, and Emma.
"Sookie how are you doing?" Rory asked.
"We're doing great! How are you girls? Who is this?"
"This is Logan. Logan this is Sookie, Jackson, Davie, Martha, Simon, and Emma. Sookie is my moms business partner and chef at the Dragonfly. She's the best chef I've ever met."
"Oh Rory. You're so nice."
"I'm serious! Next time we're in town we have to have lunch at the Dragonfly."
"So is Logan your boyfriend? You said next time..."
"Yes he is." Rory said smiling.
"You better be good to her." Jackson threatened. "I'm a farmer so I have acres of land to hide your body if you hurt her."
"I promise." Logan said "I won't hurt her."
"Good"
"Geeze Ace. You really are loved here."
"Yeah. I've been Stars Hollows princess since I was little. Don't worry though, their bark is worse than their bite."
"Regardless Ace. I couldn't hurt you."

James called Georgia around 1 and met up with the group. At that time Logan called Finn to join their group. James is a photographer and asked if he could take some pictures of everyone today.

"So James," Logan said facing him. "I'm Logan, Rory's boyfriend. You're G's boyfriend right?"
"Yes, going on 3 years now."
"James, I was going to talk to you about a party that my grandparents are throwing for Rory and I." Georgia said. "It's a big party, we are being named the heirs. Rory is the Hayden heir and I am the Gilmore heir. Do you want to come with me?"
"Is it formal?"
"Have you ever been to one of these parties before?" Logan asked.
"This party is a monumental event in their lives." Finn added. "Everyone who is anyone will be there, so yes it was very formal. If you want to, Logan and I can help you pick something out."
"How formal is formal? Prom formal?" James asked blushing.
"This party makes prom look like a night at the movies with friends." said Logan.
"So a tuxedo and the whole 9 yards?"
"How about this. We don't have much planned this afternoon. Can you come with us and shop in Hartford? We'll show you what you need. Actually we can take the girls too and they can look for their dresses at the same time. Lets ask."

James kind of looked down and then followed the boys. While they were talking to the girls James started thinking. He's never been in this situation and didn't know how comfortable he would be. He knew though if he wanted to be with Georgia, he would have to be very comfortable very quickly. He saw two other people join the group.

"James, are you coming." Georgia yelled. "Finn's calling his driver and he's bring the hummer so we can all bring one car."

James really wasn't used to hummers and drivers. He figured that he would see how today went then if he still wasn't comfortable, he would end things with G.

They walked back to the Hayden house and told Chris and Lorelai what they were up to. The hummer got there 15 minutes later.

"I'm coming. Do you think we'll be all day? Mom is coming back for me around 4."
"Call her and tell her we'll drive you home. We'll be in the area anyway."

James called his mom and said he was going to Hartford with them but didn't tell her the reason why they were shopping. It was all a little too much too fast,

"Okay so I have a few questions." James asked. "When you said that you're the heir of the Gilmore's what does that mean? I know you said your grandpa works at an insurance firm. Does that mean you're in insurance now instead of law?"
"No. All it means is that I'm the one to inherit their fortune when they pass."
"So that giant house and everything else? All that money?"

James' mind was spinning. He didn't know what to think. He didn't know if he was happy or scared or what.

While James and G were going over what the heiress situation mean, Rory started texting Steph

-Steph I wish you were here. We're trying to figure out if James, G's bf, is cut out for the world of society.

A few minutes later she messaged her back.

-Dang. I'm in Princeton. Can't get down in time plus work's crazy now! Finn knows what to look for. Logan does too. Good luck. I hope he's not an asshole for his sake. You're in the group which means your family is also under our umbrella. If you notice Finn starting to be more of an asshole than normal that's not a good sign. Call me if you have questions.
-Thanks. Oh my coming out party is in three weeks on Friday. You and Colin better be there. No excuses!
-Of course! We wouldn't miss it!

Rory looked at Logan.
"Hey I just texted Steph a little and told her about the party. I told her she better be there!"
"I'm guessing she said they would."
"Her exact response was 'Of course. Wouldn't miss it'."

Rory realized that James was being really quiet during the whole drive.
"So James. What are your college plans?" Rory asked.
"I'm looking at going to a state school around here. Somewhere close to home. My dad owns an accounting firm in Litchfield. He wants me to follow in his footsteps. I'm not sure yet."

They continued with small talk for the rest of the drive but they all noticed that James was more and more uncomfortable the closer to Hartford they got.

"Okay James. G, Paris, and I are going to this shop" Rory said referring to Bergdorf, "and you boys will go there." referring to Nordstrom.

She pulled Logan to the side.

"Logan, I want you to buy his tuxedo if he doesn't run away now. I don't think he's a gold digger." She handed him her black card.
"I don't think he is either. Finn and I will help him and we'll explain why we were harsh earlier."
"Make sure you get everything he'll need. Get him a new wallet, shoes, socks, cuff links, everything else..."
"I know what to get him. How are you going to get your dress?"
"I'll put it on our account."
"Okay Ace. See ya later."

In Nordstrom:

"Hey man. I'm sorry that we were harsh on you back in the Hollow." Logan said to James "Now that I'm dating Rory she's in our group. Since she's in our group we're protective. That protection projects to immediate family We just wanted to make sure she wasn't being mistreated in anyway. Not abusive per say but we didn't want you to take advantage of her financial situation."
"I would never do that." James said. "I really do care for G. A lot. I'm just not sure what's going to happen now that we're going to different colleges and different directions. I feel like our lives are so much different now. Truthfully, I've been feeling like this a while now. I think I need to talk to her about it before I go on a shopping spree that costs more than my college tuition."
"Okay. I understand. I respect that. Some people would have taken advantage of this and gotten whatever they could with us around."
"I think I'm going to call her and we're going to take a walk."

-G, Can you meet me outside? We need to talk.

The boys went outside and G and James walked by themselves.

James and Georgia

"So you wanted to talk." Georgia asked James.
"Yes. Georgia, this is hard. I really really like you. I love you but I don't know how this is going to work anymore. I feel like we're going two different directions. You're looking at colleges in California, I'm looking at colleges in my backyard. You're becoming a social butterfly, I'm nowhere near comfortable. Do you know where I'm coming from?"
"Yea I do. I wanted to talk to you about the colleges thing but then this heiress thing came and it's all so different. I know I grew up a small town girl but I'm destined for bigger things."
"So we're broken up?"
"We broke up."
"Are we still friends?"
"Of course. There is no bad blood. I'm glad you said something before things got too bad for you and you couldn't stand me."
"I don't think that could ever happen. I can still be your escort to the dance if you need one."
"I think I'm going to go alone."
"We need to still talk. You're one of my best friends."
"Right back at ya. I think I'm going to call a cab and go home."

They hugged and walked away from each other.

"So we broke up." Georgia said to everyone.
"I'm sorry hun but it's better that it happens now." Rory said. "Remember Dean. Dean was nice but he wasn't going to be able to keep up with me. James is a great high school boyfriend but that's what he is. I don't want to sound stuck up or anything but you need someone that understands that you'll have social parties constantly."
"We've all dated someone that wasn't right." Logan added. "You don't want to automatically go for someone that is perfect for you. You need to date around a little before you know what you need in a relationship."
"I've developed the distaste for relationships myself." Finn said. "but if I found someone that I knew right away was going to work, I would pursue it."
"We've all had to date duds before we found the person that's right for us." Paris said "So we should all shop! Get our mind off of the drama."
"I agree. My lack-of-a-love-life is getting boring." Georgia said heading back into Bergdorf.

They all decided to stick together. They all found their outfits and accessories.

When they finished shopping the told the sales men to send their outfits over to Finn's house since they were getting ready there this time. Logan and Finn decided that Paris and Jamie could get ready with them even though they're not a part of the close knit group.

They decided to call it a night. Logan and Finn drove Rory, G, Paris, and Jamie to Stars Hollow and they went back to Hartford so Logan could pack for their trip home tomorrow.

This chapter they sound a little snotty but I'm looking at it as they know what their responsibilities are to society since they have no choice and they don't want to force anyone in the spotlight nor do they want anyone leaching off of them. (One reason why I totally hope that Logan and Rory are endgame in A Year in the Life! Dean=possessive. Jess=not a family guy (plus he's her COUSIN). Logan=knows the family and he's not possessive.
