Rory had never thought that she would be that girl, the girl who leaves town just because a boy doesn't like her back. Rory was heartbroken; she never expected that her feelings for Logan were going to interfere in her school work.

The day she met Logan in his dorm to end their casual dating arrangement, while she was still talking and he goes off to take the call from Cassandra, the one with a great accent.

She stares at the blue door still not sure that happened until she hears him talking on the phone; she turns around and leaves the room. She dodged his calls and he for a week after she sees him in front of the Rich Man's Shoes with a blonde with a great accent the very next day.

It was then she had a crushing realization that she fell for him, his crooked smile and his wit, he was smart, funny and good-looking but apparently she was not good enough, Rory had never been not good-enough.

Sitting in her room that night she makes a decision that she will transfer, she will run away, like she often does. She didn't like the person she was becoming, the mopey weepy eyed, crushed over a boy kind of girl. She schedules a dinner with her Grandparents as they were the ones paying for Yale.

At seven she knocks on their door and is ushered inside by the maid of the week. Her Grandpa hands her a soda and sits beside her Grandma, they both exchange glances, finally Emily breaks the silence.

'Rory dear, what is the matter you wanted to speak to us about?'

Rory takes a deep breath and says, 'I want to transfer from Yale.'

They did not expect that from her, Emily had dreaded that she might be pregnant but this was not much better, while Richard was surprised that his Granddaughter wants to transfer, he knew that she is a strong girl and he wanted to know just what could make her want to leave a fine institute like Yale, he had an inclination that it might be because of a boy. Emily was again the first one to respond.

'Why? Why would you want to leave Yale? It the best fit for you, it is near and you can come home every weekend. Also where would you like to go if not Yale? It's not as if there are many other great schools out there which are better than Yale.'

After Emily is done with her rant there was a silence in the living room. Richard stares at Rory and finds great sadness lingering in her eyes. Her eyes remind him of how Lorelei looked in the days prior to her running away from home. It was Rory's eyes that make his decision for him. He decides to stop Emily from saying something that might make Rory not trust them.

'Rory, dear where would you want to go if you leave Yale?' he asks.

'Columbia. It is not far, well not that far. I can still come over every other weekend. The reason I chose Columbia is because it is the home of the Pulitzer and I want one preferably before I turn thirty, plus new york will have much more opportunities to intern in newspapers that I want to be a part of one day.'

Richard knew then and there that Rory was hell bent on transferring; asking him and Emily was her being the good Grand-Daughter she is.

'Okay we will support you but I have a proposal for you. We will pay for tuition and you will live in our Soho condo. It is a little bigger for you but New York is not as safe as New Haven as you don't live alone here. There are only two conditions. You are our only Grandchild and your mother has repeatedly made clear that she does not want anything from us but we come from a long line of Gilmores who have made their family richer by each generation, our family has a various number of businesses most important one of them is my insurance company, I may have retired but I still have majority shares in the company and we own a successful chain of hotels and resorts, we have over sixteen fully operational resorts and hotels and two are under construction. I want you to have a business major along with Journalism. You are our only heir all this was going to be yours ultimately but I want you to be prepared so that you fully understand the working of the family business. Your mother never bothered to learn anything about the business; she used to run away whenever the topic was being discussed and to think after all that rebellion she went and opened her own inn. She will never accept this responsibility as she would never leave that town but you have your whole life ahead of you don't limit yourself to a single state or town just because you feel like you owe it to her, trust me she would not want that for you.'

Rory was stunned by the information overload, even Emily was silent, and she agreed with Richard, Rory needed to step up as their heir.

'That was only one condition, which I will agree to Grandpa, what is the other one?'

'My other condition might be hard for you to accept. Your mother does you no favors shielding you away from the part of society that you one day be invariably a part of, as the heir to the Gilmore fortune. I want you to join the DAR.'

Rory looked stunned while Emily looked as if Christmas had come early.

'You will join the DAR in New York. Don't think it's all about old society women planning galas and discussing each other's home décor. They do some real charity work, you can join the Literacy Program and the organize Junior American Citizen Contests. You can organize fund raisers for the homeless shelters or women's home or anything you want but I want you to be a part of the society as the Gilmore heir. Do you accept Rory?'

Everything inside Rory was frozen it was a lot of information in way less time, but she could see her grandparent's point, everything her mother did was a rebellion against her parents, she had a rich family history that she never knew of, she could not even imagine what her grandparents bank accounts looked like. She wanted time, she wanted her Mom but she knew Lorelei would want Rory to give a big a screw you to Richard and Emily and would want her to stay as close she could to her. Rory wanted out, out of Connecticut, even if New York was not too far it was far enough that she would not see some people she so desperately wanted to avoid.

'I accept grandpa, will you please arrange my transfer as you know the Dean of Admissions.'

With that Rory had sealed her fate, she would be what her mother feared the most, a society heir.

It took three weeks for the transfer to be complete; she got a letter of recommendation from Doyle so she could apply for the Columbia Spectator.

When she told her mother about the transfer, as expected their there were fireworks, angry words and some tears. Lorelei was all set to give her parents a piece of her mind when Rory shouted at her. Rory had never raised her voice in front of her mother; to say she was shocked was an understatement. Rory explains to her how this transfer was her choice and she could back out if she found the conditions too much for, when she explained the excess of Gilmore fortune Lorelei was stunned, she had always ignored her parents when they talked shop and now to know the extent of what Rory would be inheriting was just too much to comprehend. Emily and Richard had given Rory her trust fund which had more than twenty million dollars. Lorelei didn't want Rory to become a society brat, she had shielded her from it for nearly twenty years and now Rory was making her big debut into society, joining the DAR, majoring in business and journalism. Lorelei could not comprehend how to handle all of it so she did what she did best, she lashed out. Angry words and tears and then Lorelei blamed it all on Logan. She knew her child was hurting and she wanted to rip his head off but Rory made her promise that she would stay away from Logan, it took Lorelei three days and several gallons of Luke's coffee for Lorelei to even talk without wanting to lash out. She then reluctantly supported Rory and helped her pack her stuff in Stars Hollow as she would have much more space to fill in the fancy Soho condo.

The day of the big move was nearly here, Rory had already sent all her stuff to the condo. She had gone to meet the Dean of Admissions to thank him for the help he had been in her transfer as she let his office she bumped into someone, when she looked up it was Finn. She had been avoiding not only Logan but his friends too, seeing Finn on her last day at Yale; it seemed as if the universe was playing a joke on her. As she looked further she saw Colin too but thankfully no Logan. Well thanks for small favors. She had bonded with Colin and Finn in the little time she and Logan were seeing each other. Finn looked at Rory and probably for the first time greets her normally.

'Well hello, love. Fancy seeing you here, you in trouble?' he asks in his fancy accent. Finn and Colin had been there because Finn had gotten a prefect mark on a test and the professor thought he had cheated even some of their friends had a hard time believing it but Colin knew that Finn had a sharp mind and had an elephant's memory. The Dean of Management was satisfied by Finn's knowledge of the subject and let him go.

Rory lets out a little laugh and says, 'Really Finn? Me? Don't you know me at all? I was just here to thank Dean Barnaby for the transfer'

She freezes momentarily as so do the both of them. She had not meant to tell them that. She looks wide eyed at them panicking inside.

'Transferring, why and to where?' Finn asks while Colin stares at her with a knowing look in his eyes.

Rory does not say anything and just gives him a little smile. Finn was a sweetheart, she would miss both of them and she would miss their third man even more.

Colin was conflicted he knew that Rory had fallen for Logan, he had seen that happen many times before but Rory was different, she had innocence about her that none of the other girls had not even Stephanie and he was completely in love with her. He knew in his heart that Logan was the reason for her transfer; he could be really cruel when he wanted to be. He took Rory's decision of wanting to end the casual relationship as a challenge as if to see how long it would take for her to breakdown and come back to him. Rory had stood by her decision and had never looked back which Colin knew infuriated Logan, he made sure to have a new girl on his arm every day and insured Rory sees him. Colin thought that Rory might make it work with Logan but Rory lacked the fight that needed to be fought to get through Logan's thick head.

Finn on the other hand wanted to throttle Logan and put some sense into his scotch addled brain, Rory could have been the best thing for him but he trampled over her heart, Finn along with Colin knew that Logan liked her and was lashing out as he usually did but apparently it was too much for Rory as she was leaving.

Rory didn't want Logan to know about the transfer, she had a panicked look on her face that Colin and Finn noticed.

'We will not tell him if you don't want us to.' Colin said.

He and Finn had a serious look on their faces. Rory decided to be honest with them. She told them about Columbia, about her grandparents' conditions and the trust fund. She was overwhelmed and finally could talk to someone who had had the experience of fulfilling family obligations. Colin and Finn were conflicted they wanted to punch Logan; they knew that he would regret letting her go.

Colin and Finn walked her to the town car waiting for her in front of her dorm as she was leaving for New York that very day. They hug her goodbye and promise to meet her when they would be in New York as their families resided in the city.

They were busy making future plans and promising Rory that they would not tell Logan anything that none of them saw a pair of brown eyes frowning at them. He does not notice the town car or the small bag she has in her hand.

Rory leaves New Haven wanting to start a new chapter of her life but held onto the memories and the good times. It'll be fun, it'll be a thrill. Something stupid, something bad for you. Just something different, he had said and all of it was true. He was different and he was bad for her but she still and probably would always want him. He was her once in a lifetime experience, only problem was that she wanted him for a lifetime.

It was late at night when Logan knocked on Rory's door, when he did not get an answer immediately he shouts for Ace to open the door. The door opens and Logan is surprised to see Paris and Doyle staring at him, Paris with with hate in her eyes.

'She is not here. You can leave.' Paris shoots venomously at him.

'Of course she is here. It is a school night, she never misses her classes and it's not Friday so she is not at her grandparents' home.' He counters back.

'For someone who doesn't want anything to with her you know awfully lot about her but he fact is that she is not here and will never be here again ever. Congratulations you have officially become the biggest looser as you have lost the only person who would have loved you for you and not your surname, so go ahead and celebrate find a dimwitted blonde and make out with her and never come back here again.' Paris says in her shrill Paris voice while Doyle looks at her in awe.

Logan on the other hand was confused, 'What do you mean she is not coming back? She has to she goes to school here. She does not miss classes and I know for a fact she has an early morning class tomorrow.'

Paris stares at him like she is evaluating him, as if she is deciding if she wants to tell him anything or not. It was Doyle who puts him out of his misery.

'She has transferred schools. It was her last day here today. She has already cleaned up her room and moved her stuff.' As he gestures towards Rory's room.

Logan walks past them and enters Rory's room. It was bare. All the things that marked it as hers were gone except for a single photo frame which was lying face down on the counter table. Logan picked it up already knowing what he would see. It was his and Rory's picture from her grandparents' vow renewal ceremony. Rory had many photographs on her counter table and Logan had featured in two of them, he was holding one in his hands and hoped she had the other in which they were looking at each other at the life and death brigade jump.

He walks out of the dorm with the frame still in his hands and marches to Colin and Finn's room, slamming the door he shouts for them. Colin and Finn come out of their rooms and are surprised by the furious look on Logan's face.

'Where is she? I know you both met her today. Tell me where she went?' he shouts at them.

Colin and Finn look at each other; the latter shrugs and sits down on the couch. Colin took a deep breath realizing it was up to him to explain to Logan that Rory had left.

So with a deep breath he explains how the both of them bumped into her and how they talked about her and her moving away. He did not give away any details about her location to him and could see that Logan was frustrated that he was being evasive but he kept his promise to her.

'What do you mean that is has transferred? Why did you not tell me? Which school did she transfer to?' Logan shoots question after question. It was Finn who decided to be blunt with him.

'We mean that Rory our little love has left the grounds of New Haven and Connecticut to go and explore more the world has to offer. We did not tell you because it was none of your business and we figured that you really didn't care about her which is evident by you sucking face of some new girl every night. We are not telling you which school she went to because she asked us not to tell you. She went away to be away from you, she was hurting. It pained her that she meant so little to you that you did not even wait a day to find another girl while she was wasting away, so no we are not telling you. You do not deserve it, I know you like her more than you like to admit but for a change we want you to feel alone like she felt. She has become our friend and were you not my best mate I would have throttled you with my bare hands.'

Logan and Colin stare at Finn with their jaws slack. It was the biggest speech they had ever heard Finn give while being sober. Finn gets up from the couch and walks to his room slamming the door in his wake.

Logan looks at Colin pleading him to tell the truth but he too echoes Finn's words and leaves Logan alone in the living room.

For the first time in long time Logan Huntzberger had to face the consequences of his actions. As Paris had said he had lost the only girl who would have loved him as Logan and just as the Huntzberger heir.
