Trory and Socialite

Yale days

I do not own them… if I did I wouldn't be wasting my time writing fanfiction, now would I? No of course not! So please, do not sue, because all you would get is my pretty KangaROO shoes! Although they are quite the catch…

Rory is in her second year at Yale, and the LADB is bringing in some unexpected guests from Rory's past… will her and Logan's relationship be jeopardized? Or is she over the blast from the past as much as she claims to be? For my story sake, let us pretend that she's a member of the LADB and her and Logan are together at the moment, okay? Thank you much. Oh, and also… Tristan and Rory actually dated for the sake of my story and were in love… Dean was after Tristan… but the sex thing and everything happened… Tristan still got sent away for the same reason though, causing Tristan and Rory to break up.

Chapter One: It's all right, I'll survive

"Rory, come on. You cannot not go to this, it was your idea!" Logan Huntzberger begged into the phone as he communicated with his girlfriend. "You are being ridiculous."

Rory scoffed at the ludicrous idea of her acting "ridiculous", especially since it was not her fault that she would much rather be playing in the snow than going to some dinner function she decided the LADB needed.

"I am not being ridiculous, Logan. I just wanted to make snow angels! Is that too much to ask for?" Rory asked, pouting up at Logan with the saddest look he had ever seen.

"Do not do that pouting thing with me Loralei Leigh Gilmore, you are not fooling anyone with that innocent act, Ace." Logan said, although frankly he was melting to the very core and he suspected that Rory had known this to begin with.

"Oh, fine. I will go inside and get all beautiful so I can sit with you and look pretty, okay?" She asked.

"Well, I'm not sure you know how to sit there and look pretty, but please, be my guest and give it a try… You might need more makeup than normal though. You know? Just so people don't see what you REALLY look like. They might be so afraid of the sight of you they will want to leave the LADB!" Logan said seriously, rambling just as quickly as the older Loralei, which Rory found quite impressive.

"Logan Huntzberger, I am impressed…" Rory laughed and grabbed his hand, dragging him into her dorm by his hand.

Logan just simply stared after her, still living in the world of Rory's laughs. The very sound could and would bring a grown man to his knees… Thank god that she didn't know it, because she'd be a force to reckoned with if there ever was one…

One hour later, Rory emerged from her room looking like a million dollars. If there had ever been such a beauty before the Loralei Gilmore's entered the world, he could feel every man's pain, because this girl was drop dead gorgeous.

Rory was wearing a blood red strapless gown that clung to her body and hugged her curves. The dress was straight until her waist, where it slightly flared out on her hips and then came back it slightly at the bottom. The dress was breath taking and with her in it she was heart stopping. She had her hair curled and in hung off her shoulders, her diamond necklace shining when the light reflected off of it.

"Do I look good enough to sit there and look pretty?" Rory asked, placing a smirk on her lips that Logan had only seen on one other person…

Ignoring the fact that she wore the smirk of another boy who she couldn't have possibly known, Logan smiled a smile that made Rory melt.

"You look good enough to eat… maybe I will tonight afterwards…" Logan said with a smirk of his own. He chuckled appreciatively when Rory's face turned somewhat red and she glared.

"Tr… Logan Huntzberger, I do not appreciate such innuendoes… although maybe I'll let you." She said, ignoring the fact that she almost called him the name of a boy from her past.

Luckily, Logan didn't catch the mishap and he just stood up and walked over to her. Leaning down to her, he placed his hands on her hips and pulled him to her. Leaning in, he placed his lips to hers and engaged in a delicate kiss, not giving or taking too much, just enjoying the taste that was simply Rory… coffee and caramel, his two favorite flavors.

Rory melted into his kiss and smiled against his mouth, only Logan could kiss her like this…

Sitting at the table at the LADB dinner, Rory was chatting excitedly with Finn.

"Dawling, dump the chump and get with a real man." Finn was telling Rory, which caused her eyes to light up with laughter and her mouth to move in a beautiful rhythm.

There's that laugh again, Logan thought to himself, glancing in the direction, before standing up before the brigade and making an announcement.

"Excuse me. As you know, this is a very secret society that few are accepted into… What you might not know is that the Life and Death Brigade is not only at Yale… but at Princeton, as well. And here tonight, are those members. Come on out, guys." Logan yelled energetically.

Rory smiled up at Logan, he was so interesting when he spoke. The words that rolled off of his tongue and his tone just entranced you… and Rory would have stayed entranced with him if it hadn't been for the blonde hair, blue eyed boy that sauntered into their quarters as if he owned the place.

Tristan DuGrey was the first Princeton LADB member to enter the room and he searched the room for any women that could keep his interest. He was just looking around when his eyes met with another pair of blue eyes that Tristan thought he'd never see again.

"Mary." Tristan's mind screamed.

"Tristan…" Rory's mind thought.

Tristan's first instinct was to run over to her and proclaim his undying love for her, and when she smirked at him with his own trademark smirk he almost frolicked to her… until he saw his cousin, Logan Huntzberger, walk over to her and claim her lips for his own.

"Ace, I want you to meet someone." Logan told Rory as he grabbed her hand and led her over to the group of Princeton members, "This is my cousin. Tristan DuGrey… Tristan this is…" but Logan was cut off by Tristan's voice.

"Mary, Mary, Mary… a member of the LADB? I never would have picked you for the type…and at Yale none the less!" Tristan said jokingly, smiling at her genuinely.

"Mary? No this is…" Logan started but was cut off once again.

"Oh come on Bible Boy, I am a Gilmore… I must carry out the tradition… besides, Harvard wasn't really for me." Rory said. "It seems like a lifetime, Tris…" Rory added, stepping up and hugging him.

"It has been a lifetime Ror, at least two." He said, gripping her small frame to her body and inhaling a scent that was simply Rory… I never want to let her go, Tristan thought to himself.

Logan cleared his throat. "I take it you know each other?" Logan asked, not liking his girlfriend wrapped in his cousin's arms… That does explain that smirk, though… it was the mirror image of Tristan's… Logan thought to himself unhappily.

At Logan's voice, Rory jumped away from Tristan and turned to Logan, a sparkle dancing in her eyes that Logan had never seen before.

"Oh, right… Tristan and I went to school together at Chilton until our junior year." Rory said, as if trying to explain.

"We dated for two years." Tristan added, not only to get a rise out of his cousin who was now falling for the girl of his dreams, but because he wanted to remind Rory that they were happy before.

"Oh Tristan we did not…" Rory said.

Logan let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding when Rory denied ever being together, but he drew that breath back in when Rory spoke next.

"It was like 27 months." Rory laughed, only this time the laughter didn't bring Logan to his knees, just to his senses.

"You two… dated?" Logan asked, not believing his ears. His Ace could not be Tristan's Mary… it just wasn't possible. Rory belonged to him… not Tristan… Tristan could not have his girl… Oh god she's looking at him like he's the one… Get her away from him; get her away NOW… Logan's mind yelled at him, not wanting him to stand there and chat.

"Rory, let's dance love." Logan said, pulling on Rory's arm as if to take her to the dance floor and not just to drag her away from Logan.

Rory snapped out of her daze and smiled at Logan, the loving glint meant for him still in her eyes. This caused Logan to breathe a little easier… He wasn't losing her right now, and that is what is important.

Tristan watched them dance when Finn and Colin came over to him.

"Hey mate." Finn said to his old companion.

"Hey DuGrey." Colin said at the same time as Finn said his hello.

"Hey. It's good to see you boys again." Tristan said, trying to keep his eyes off of Rory.

"You know Reporter Girl?" Finn asked, an affectionate tone in his voice when he spoke of Rory showing that the nick name didn't make her mean any less to him.

"Doesn't everybody these days?" Tristan asked, still trying to understand how Rory Gilmore was in the LADB… this society was never planned out, they were spontaneous and broke the law on several occasions… Rory just wasn't the LADB type.

"Ah this is true. Rory Gilmore has made quite the name for herself at Yale and in the brigade." Colin said, letting his gaze drift to the brown haired beauty as well.

"How do you know Reporter Girl?" Finn asked once more, adverting his attention from the girl and boy dancing to the two boys in front of them.

"Haven't you heard boys? Our reporter and Tristan here have a past." Stephanie announced as she walked up to the three boys, holding a martini glass in her hand and her purse in the other.

"Oh a story? Do tell." Finn said like the gossip king that he was.

"Tristan and Rory dated for over two years in high school." Stephanie said.

"Steph how you get this information, I will never know…" Tristan said. Stephanie simply smiled making it obviously clear that she took pride in her nosy ways.

"No." Colin said.

"Yes." Steph told him.

"I can't believe it." Finn said.

"It's true!" Steph said.

"Well, it truly is amazing how the three of you can talk about me as if I am not standing right in front of you at all." Tristan said, amused at the three friends of his from childhood.

"Thank you." The three of them said together, evidence of how close the three were.

"Come on Colin, dance with me." Steph said, handing Finn her martini and setting her purse down.

"Of course." Colin said, grabbing Stephanie's hand and leading her to the dance floor, leaving Finn and Tristan to gossip.

"You and Ror?" Finn asked, still not believing that the two would be together.

"Yes, Rory and I were together all of our freshman and sophomore year… we broke up our junior year because I got drunk and cheated on her with the slut named Summer Banks… Rory found out, broke up with me, and I ended up going to Military School in North Carolina because I started acting out after Rory and I broke up." Tristan explained, his rambling proving that he had been in contact with the two Loralei's at a point in his life.

"Yes… the rambling proves it all." Finn acknowledged.

Tristan simply chuckled… then stopped. "Ror and Logan?" He asked.

"Yeah… they've been together about 6 months now. She makes him laugh, Tristan, you can't take that away from him… not after Madison." Finn said, referring to the girl that broke Logan's heart two years ago at Belmont Academy their senior year.

"She makes me laugh, too, Finn… I love her, I always have… and cousin or not, I'm not giving her up without a fight." Tristan said determined.

"They're happy DuGrey. You probably haven't even thought of her since your junior year… so why can't you just… let them be?" Finn was trying to save his best friend and his practically baby sister from a lot of heartache… because if anyone could break them up, it would be Tristan DuGrey, and the fact that he already had Rory made it harder for her to stay away.

"You and Tristan, huh?" Logan asked. He didn't mean to sound jealous, but it was his cousin and the love of his life that this was concerning and he had to know there was nothing there anymore. Even if there was… he hoped she didn't admit it. His heart couldn't take it.

"That was a long time ago, Logan. We've changed. I've changed. I have you now. You're all I want." Rory told him, although she couldn't help her eyes from looking past Logan and staring at Tristan.

Logan felt at ease and the smile over taking his face proved that. "Rory… I can't stand to lose you, not to him." Logan said into her ear, "I love you."

Those three words sent goosebumps up and down her arms. She had said those words before… many times before… to a few different boys… and she had heard those words before, but they never made her spine tingle the way that they did just now… Well, not if you don't count Tristan…

"I love you, too, Logan." Rory said, pulling Logan's head down to hers to give him a kiss.

Logan felt more at ease than he had for awhile. The girl he loved loved him back, and she wasn't into Tristan anymore. What they had was in the past… although the nagging voice in the back of head wouldn't let it go and seemed to be mocking him the rest of the night…

Tristan stopped what he was doing when Rory and Logan's lips met in a kiss. He had a feeling that getting her back was going to be a little more difficult than he had originally intended…
