I don't own Gilmore Girls.

Aurora Victoria Hayden is my own character.

Pairings: Logan/Stephanie, Finn/OC (Aurora), Rory/Colin

I don't think there are enough Cory stories out there.

A/N this is a Cory and it starts at the Male Yale Party. Rory has met the Limo Boys the same way as in the show. She did sleep with Dean; however they are not a couple.

Rory signed as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was sure she had on a couple of thousands of dollars worth of diamonds and she knew this was not her. Laughing slightly at herself she kept reminding herself that she was doing this for her grandparents. A final sigh later her grandmother came up the stairs.

"Oh Rory you look wonderful! Shall we head down stairs?" Asked Emily Gilmore as she escorted her granddaughter down the stairs.

When they got to the top of the stairs Emily turned to her guests, "Ladies and Gentleman Rory's here!" Rory had a flashback of The Shining's "Here's Johnny!" and giggled softly to herself

Not even a moment later she was making the rounds. It only took her three couples before she realized that this was a meat market and she was the meet.

"Kip if you would excuse us, it was a pleasure to meet you." Smiled Rory, "Grandma, Grandpa may I have a word."

After complaining to her grandparents about their guest list she sighed and realized she would not win. After several more introductions Rory was finally left on her own. She snuck away to call her mother, after the I told you so conversation she decided to meet her destiny.

Standing out on the patio Rory had never been so bored in her life. The boys seemed to be broken into groups; the car junkies which of course she knew nothing about, the sports fanatics again another topic that she knew nothing about, the financial wizards aka the money hungry those she chose to avoid, she may be a Gilmore but that didn't mean anything money didn't buy happiness. Sure enough one of her favorite group decided it was his turn.

"Hello, I am Jordan Chase of Chase Financial." Smiled the young man

"Rory Gilmore, but I am sure you knew that." Smiled Rory tightly

Just as he was about to open his mouth again she felt an arm come around her waist.

"There you are hun! I am so sorry the meeting with my father ran later than expected."Smiled the last person she expected to see

"Jordan Chase of Chase Financial and you are?" Asked the annoyed gentleman in front of her

"Colin McCrae of McCrae & Brooks Law. Thank you for keeping my girl company. If not for you she would have noticed just how late I really am." Laughed Colin tighten his grip on Rory

"She's with you?" Asked Jordan

"Going on a year and a half." Smirked Collin as Rory leaned in to him

"Then what the hell am I doing here." Muttered Chase as he walked away

"That was awesome! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! Colin you are a life saver!" Smiled Rory as she gave him a famous Gilmore hug.

"Ya well you looked a little cornered Miss Gilmore and what kind of Gentleman would I be if I didn't help a lady out?" Colin asked teasingly

"Not one at all." Replied Rory with a nod and a smile

"Awe Rory there you are. And Colin wonderful to see you again." Smiled Richard Gilmore

"A pleasure as always sir."

"Please call me Richard. Now Rory I am going to make one last round and then I am going to be at the bar." With a wink Richard returned to the party

"I do believe your grandfather approves of me." Laughed Colin

"Just hope he doesn't mention this to my grandmother." Retorted Rory

"Alright Colin enough chit chat! Hey Ace it is time to form the sub party the only true way to have any fun at these boring stuffy parties!" Laughed Logan as he grabbed a bottle or two of champagne and called for Finn.

"Finn's here?" Asked Rory as she was dragged into the pool house

The sub party turned out to be exactly what Rory needed. After several glasses of champagne, reenactment or two of Finn's passion of the Christ, and several stories and drinking games later Logan finally asked the question.

"So Ace, whose it gunna be. Out of all the strapping young men here tonight who will get the honor of taking you out on their arm and appeasing now only the grandparents but their parents as well!" Laughed Logan

Pick me's were heard from several of the guys well Rory decided to have some fun.

"Alright if you want to be picked stand up in a line in front of me." Ordered Rory several guys did as told

The boys all stood in a line and she circled them eye each one like a piece of food that she was going to devour later that evening.

"Love, pick me! I'm exotic!" Exclaimed Finn

"So is the Asian bird flu." Deadpanned Colin

With a laugh Rory continued to circle while asking them their names and where they went to school and what they wanted to do and of course where the first date would occur.

"Alright, I have made my decision the lucky man that gets to escort me the rest of the party is….. COLIN MCCRAE!" Exclaimed Rory with a laugh

Shock was the general feeling around the guys. Colin was always the uptight selfish ass they never thought the Gilmore Girl who was raised away from high society would pick him but sure enough she did. The party continued on till they knew it was time to make their good-byes.

"Now Miss Gilmore. I do believe I won the honor of escorting you on the good-bye rounds." Laughed Colin as he held his arm out for her

"Lead the way."

The two walked in and started with all the couples they knew they had to say good bye to finally there were only two couples left that needed to be told they were leaving.

"Mother, father I would like you to meet Lorelai Gilmore, Rory, this is my father Andrew McCrae and my step mother Alison McCrae."

"It's a please to meet you Mr. and Mrs. McCrae." Rory gave a perfect society smile

"You as well Miss Gilmore. Colin I suppose this is your good night round?" Smirked Andrew

"Yes father, Rory and I need to head back to Yale." Smiled Colin

"Very well Miss Gilmore it was a pleasure."

"My grandparents and then we are going, going gone!" Exclaimed Rory still a little tipsy from the champagne

Two looked more like a couple then they realized as they approached the Gilmores.

"Grandma, Grandpa I would like to reintroduce you to Colin McCrae. We just wanted to say our good-bye as Colin so graciously offered to give me a ride back to Yale." Smiled Rory

"It was a great party thank you for having me." Smiled Colin as Rory dragged him out the door

"I have never, ever gotten out of a party that quickly! Teach me!" Laughed Colin as they got into the Limo he specifically called to come and get just them.

The spent the ride back to Yale getting to know each other. Colin found that even though she wasn't raised in society she could play with the biggest of the big. Rory came to realize that while Colin came across as a pompous ass he was really just misunderstood. Together the two realized they were slowly becoming friends. The ride was too short for either of their liking. They had returned to Yale and once Colin got her to her door way with a simple kiss on the check the night ended.

Alright so this may not be my best work I am trying to get over my song fic phase. Hopefully though this will meet expectations!
