A/N: this is just getting started. It will become a Rory/Logan fic but it wont really start until the next chapter. Ok, enjoy!
"Good morning Stars Hollow residents, this is Taylor Dosee with our new Stars Hollow radio station. This is the morning wake up call, and for all those wishing to participate in our annual end of the summer carnival. As you might remember, last year we ran into the problem of not having enough lemonade. Now this year we need to have about 40 more so we can maximize…" the radio sung out. Rory Gilmore lazily tried to shut it off but missed.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
"Mom…it's like 7 am," Rory yelled out while trying to pull her pillow over her head to lessen the noise.
Lorelai Gilmore walked into her daughter's room to find her desperately trying to sleep. She made her way over to Rory's bed, and proceeded to jump on to it.
"Now Rory, we must seize the day. Why not start now?" Lorelai said to her daughter as
she tried to pull the pillow from her daughter.
"Because it is early, and by the way, why are you so perky?"
"The wonders of coffee my dear, 3 cups already, so get up!"
"Coffee…I need coffee," Rory moaned groggily.
"Well then get up!"
Rory slid carefully out of bed and made her way over to her dresser, pulling out a baby blue t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Making her way into the kitchen she found Lorelai sitting at the table going through the old mail, throwing the useless pieces on the floor. She was obviously looking for something in particular, and in finding, the rest of the mail in her hand dropped to floor joining the other useless mail. Ripping it open forcefully, she pulled out the letter inside and opened it. The words having to mean something because the look on Lorelai' face showed nothing but surprise and confusion.
"Mom, you ok?" Rory asked hesitantly.
"Yeah, let's go," Lorelai said stuffing the letter into her jacket.
They walked out of the house towards Luke's.
"Mom stop, stop running!" Rory called out, laughing so hard that she had to stop.
"I didn't do anything! You are the one who started talking about Kirk!" Lorelai yelled back.
"I did not!"
"Yes you did!"
"Stop running!"
"Fine, oh, Kirk!" Lorelai stopped running right before she collided with Kirk.
Kirk was on his bicycle, which his mother had finally given back to him after a long time, and was on his way to start helping Taylor with the upcoming summer carnival.
"Hi Lorelai, are you signed up to help this year for the carnival?" Kirk asked trying to reposition his helmet on his head.
"No Kirk, I'm not."
"Oh well, I am Taylor's right hand man this year so I have all the important jobs like saying where all the booths go and stuff like that. I was just figuring since you did something for the last winter festival, you know the doggie swami, you would be doing another booth?"
"No I am not."
"Oh good, because I never really trusted that your dog could tell the future, I mean, he wasn't qualified and I don't like putting things that aren't true in the carnival. I want to put the best things out there for the people."
"Yes I know Kirk."
"So are you sure that you are not doing the doggie swami again?"
"Yes I am sure."
"Really?"
"Really Kirk."
"Ok."
"Yes well I better be going. Bye Kirk."
"Bye Lorelai." Kirk said, riding away on his bike towards the market.
"Well, wasn't that lovely Mrs. Kirk?" Rory mocked.
"Why yes Mrs. Kirk, I do believe so, and by the way, do you happen to know where I could pick up one of those darling helmets? I just love them," Lorelai mocked back, trying to hold back her laughter.
"Ew, the helmet?"
"What, it is just so dreamy?" Lorelai laughed as she made her way into Luke's. "Hey Luke!"
"Ah, Rory, I didn't realize you were in town?" Luke said while pulling out two cups, and pouring coffee in each of them.
"Yes Luke I am."
"We ran into Kirk," Lorelai said.
"Oh, and?"
"Mom likes his helmet," Rory said while sipping her coffee.
"He has a cool helmet I must say."
"I don't understand you two. So Rory how is that Logan guy?"
"Logan is in London," Rory said, looking down at her feet. Lorelai made a slashing sign across her neck to symbolize stopping the conversation.
"Oh, so…um…what did Kirk's helmet look like?"
"Well it was really bright and…" Rory's cell phone went off, and Luke instinctively pointed and the no cell phone sign. "I know, I know, I will go outside." Rory slid off the stool and walked out the door.
"What the hell was that about?" Luke asked, pouring another cup of coffee.
"What was what about?"
"The Logan thing."
"Oh, that, Logan's father, you remember him from the beach trip right?"
"Yeah…"
"So apparently, Logan is supposed to take over the family business so his father is making him stay in London for a year to go to all the meetings and everything."
"When did he leave?"
"The day after his graduation."
"So is Rory ok?"
"I don't know, she hasn't really talked to me about it all summer. It kind of has been off limits."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
Rory made her way outside Luke's and pulled out her cell phone and answered it.
"Ace."
"Logan! How have you been? I haven't heard from you in like two weeks."
"I know Ace. It has been really busy around here with my father running around screaming at all the, as he puts it, fucking incompetent people who don't know what the fuck they are doing. It has been quite interesting around here. I am sorry I didn't call."
"It's ok."
"So, what have you been doing?"
"Nothing really, the summer carnival is tomorrow, then I am heading back to Yale two days after that."
"Cool."
"How's London?"
"Where do I begin…" Logan started.
"Who do you think she is talking to?" Luke asked, pouring Lorelai a thord cup of coffee. They sat there watching her.
"Logan."
"How do you know?"
"Do you see the smile on her face?"
