Tristans getting married to Logans best friend, Rory and Logan have been broken up for almost two years and Logans dating...Paris?

This takes place two years after Logan's proposal. Rory and Paris are no longer best friends after she found out that Logan and Paris started seeing each other. Logan and Paris remet at the hospital when Elias was sick. Logan saw it as an opportunity to get back at Rory and Paris did it because she saw it was a replacement for Doyle. Logan childhood best friend, Sara, is getting married to Tristan Dugrey and she and Rory are also really good friends after meeting through Tristan.

This has been a story stuck on my mind for the longest time so I figured why not put it on FF and see what people think?

I intend on doing a few chapters (more sophie focused) in the near future. In the mean time, I'm looking for a beta reader who would want to help me proof read the next chapter for this story. If anyone is interested let me know :))

"Hello?" Logan answered his phone groggily. He was still asleep after having a late night at the office. He'd been staying a lot later lately since he started seeing Paris, after they remet and about four months together. He had realized she was still as crazy as ever and seemingly a bit more possessive. The only reason he didn't want to break it off with her was because he was afraid she'd kill him in his sleep.

"Logie bear!" the voice over the line yelled joyfully.

"I told you to never call me that Sara Simmons" he grumbled into the phone.

"Awe Paris wanted to go on another date?" she cooed, he could literally see her smirk through the phone. The one that she had picked up at a very young age by spending time with him and his father. "I mean seriously Huntz, avoiding her by spending late nights at the office is going to make her more determined"

"Shhhh" he said and looked at the clock, 11:45. "Fuck" he said as if reading her mind.

"Yea, remember when you promised lunch before the party tonight?" Sara asked, "Now get your ass in the shower and I'll see you at 12:30" she paused for a moment, "Oh and, I got a call from your scary girlfriend this morning, she said she's looking forward to lunch today. I have no recollection of inviting her whatsoever nor have I ever met her but from the stories you've told me, if she ruins lunch AND my engagement party, there's going to be hell to pay Huntzberger."

"Yes mam" he muttered getting out of bed and getting ready. "I probably have to pick her up so can I say in advance I'm going to be late and I'll be there by 12:45?"

He heard Sara sigh over the phone, "Fine, but you owe me cupcakes"

"Done. Now the longer you keep me on the phone, the longer its going to take me to get ready."
"Hanging up, Tris and I just got to the cakeshop to taste our cakes. Dont be late Huntz!" the click soon followed.

Logan looked at his phone incredulously, and she still wants cupcakes?!

His phone buzzed again and saw a text from Paris.

I'm already ready so you can come pick me up whenever you want!

Twenty Minutes later, Logan was out the door and on his way to pick up Paris not before stopping at his and Sara's favorite cafe to pick her up cupcakes.

He sighed as he pulled up at Paris's apartment in Hartford and shot her a quick text telling her that he was outside.

Not too long later, Paris emerged wearing a dark blue halter dress with lace endings.

"Hi Honey" she greeted sweetly, as she got into the car, which made Logan cringe on the inside.

"Hey" he leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek before he sped over to Sara's parents house where lunch was.

The 15 minute drive was mostly quiet until Paris decided to comment. "So I haven't met Sara have I?"

Logan thought for a moment before shaking his head. "Nope. She's spent most of her years abroad in boarding schools in Europe. She ended up going against her parents alma mater and chose Princeton over Yale for her BA major."

"When was the last time you saw her?" Paris asked suspiciously.

Last weekend when I said I was going to New York for a guys night Logan thought to himself "I believe it was last year when she came to visit me in California"

"What did you two do?" Paris asked and Logan suppressed to roll his eyes. He knew where she was getting with this.

"We caught up like childhood friends do, Paris" Logan stated, "We've known each other since we were in diapers" he shook his head. "I also dont appreciate you calling her in the morning and inviting yourself to a lunch you know for a fact was not invited to"

Paris shrugged, "I'm your girlfriend, should I not be your plus one to things like this? Especially when this girl is also marrying MY childhood friend? I mean, how do I know she's even good for him huh? What if she's some blonde bimbo who's marrying for the money?! How do I know she won't go for you the moment you walk through the door?!"

"Not when they don't mention a plus one. Paris, I understand you found out about Tristans engagement through your mother but please, have some respect! She's my best friend for fucks sake!" Logan said, he was tired of dealing with Paris's assumptions..

"As your girlfriend, I should be invited to all your events with friends, if they don't know that I'm your girlfriend then they shouldn't be your friends at all" Paris justified. She looked over at Logan whose hands had gripped the steering wheel tighter and stayed quiet for the rest of the ride.

Logan had only been up for less than an hour and he was already mentally exhausted. He was anticipating seeing Sara more and could not wait to talk to her. He turned into a long driveway and pushed a button on his car keys which opened a garage.

"You have your own garage here?" Paris questioned.

"I've always had this spot since I learned how to drive. This is Sara's parents place." he reached into the back and grabbed the box of cupcakes and turned to Paris, "Please Paris, I hate that I have to say this but be good. If not for me, for Tristan." he opened the door and got out of the car, Paris following closely behind.

Before Logan could even knock, the door opened and there stood a blonde with blue eyes, wearing a teal colored dress that was short at the front but got long at the back with a long ruffle going down the middle.

"You made it!" she grinned stepping forward to give him a hug.

"Hey, hey you're going to squish the-"

"Cupcakes! You're the best Logie bear!" Sara said taking the box of cupcakes and walked into the house, gesturing Logan and Paris to follow.

"That nickname!" Logan exclaimed as he followed Sara into the foyer.

"Logan!" a man's voice called and Logan turned to see Tristan coming towards him, wearing a teal Polo.

"Tristan" he engaged Tristan in a man hug. "How are you?"

"You know, the usual, wedding plans, work, wedding plans, work" Tristan said with a smirk.

"Look honey!" Sara said happily, "Logan brought cupcakes from Le Choc"

"Damnit" Tristan said handing his fiance a ten dollar bill. "We made a bet to see if you would go all the way to Le Choc or if you would just grab some random cupcakes from a bakery near your apartment or not."

"It's Sara man" Logan deadpanned, "The last time I got her cupcakes from elsewhere they ended up all over my car"

"But you still love me" Sara said in a singsong voice. She looked behind Logan, "Is this the girlfriend?" she gave a fake society smile. The look this girl was giving her didn't sit well with her at all.

Paris only watched the interaction between the three, feeling completely ignored. So this was Logan's childhood friend and Tristans fiance Sara Simmons. The one who knew Logan even more then Colin and Finn themselves did. She was gorgeous, almost model like, and the way she interacted with Logan, she didn't like it. She was way too comfortable with him and that didn't well with her at all. Also due to the fact Logan did not acknowledge her since they walked in the door, didn't introduce her or anything. It wasn't till she saw Sara look over at her and acknowledge her did she say something.

"I'm Paris Gellar, Logans girlfriend and Tristan's childhood friend" Paris said holding her hand out.

"Sara Simmons, Logan's childhood friend and Tristan's fiance" Sara said politely giving her hand a light squeeze.

"Paris, it's been a while" Tristan said lightly, from Sara's side.

"Dugrey" Paris nodded. "Congratulations"

"Thank you" he said, "Well lunch is almost ready, should we go onto the patio?"

Everyone nodded and followed Sara and Tristan onto the Patio.

Logan pulled Sara back a little bit which didn't go unnoticed by Paris.

"Talk later?" he muttered.

"Of course" Sara smiled at him before catching up with her fiance. Noticing the glare Paris was sending her way. She shook her head, she had a bad feeling about her.

Once everyone was on the patio and seated, Tristan brought out a bottle of wine and poured them into four glasses while the maids brought out the lunch and set it on the table.

The backyard was nice, it had a rose garden on one side, and a pool on the other and in between was a large cherry blossom tree. Paris couldn't help but stare in awe at how natural everything looked. Everything seemed to flow with one another in perfect harmony. Most backyards in Hartford had so many things that clashed but this was the first yard that looked like it was made for company more so than looks.

Towards the end when everyone was finished eating Sara spoke.

"So before I forget, there was actually a point to this lunch"

"Oh it wasn't because you missed me?" Logan asked with a smirk.

"Pfft, I have my own blonde" Sara said patting Tristan's hand, "Plus we saw you in New York last week"

The last comment shocked Paris. Didn't he say the last time he saw her was in California? Now Paris was feeling more perplexed. Logan had lied to her.

"Plus if you remember, I've been away for much longer much to your dismay I see" Sara said eyeing Paris.

Logan only gave her a tight smile as Tristan chuckled uncomfortably.

"Back to the point" Tristan said grabbing Saras hand and that was when Paris got to actually see the ring. It was a diamond encrusted band, with a heart diamond surrounded by a bunch of other diamonds.

'Probably cost him thousands' Paris thought to herself bitterly and looked at Logan, hoping that he too would soon put a ring on her finger. They haven't said I love you yet but it was only a matter of time. They were perfect for each other according to her life coach.

"Tristan and I were talking over the last few weeks about our wedding party" Sara started and shared a smile with her fiancé. "And we want you to be Tristans best man"

Logan could only stare in shock. "No...way…" he said softly, "What about Austin?" Logan asked referring to Tristan's best friend from military school.

Tristan shrugged, "He'll be a groomsmen, but I want you up there with me. As my witness" Tristan chuckled, "After all, if it weren't for you, I would've never gotten Sara in the first place"

Logan only smiled remembering that day.

"What does he mean?" Paris asked taking a sip of her wine. She was more curious than anything cause last she remembered Tristan was in love with the one and only Rory Gilmore.

Logan and Sara shared a grin and Sara started.

"I met Tristan senior year in boarding school" Sara said smiling.

"Weren't you in Military school?" Paris questioned again. "You left in the middle of the play. We got a B+ on that project by the way cause of you."she finished with a glare.

Tristan only smirked, "My good behaviour got me out within the next school year. But instead of going back to Chilton, I went to boarding school in Europe" He looked at Logan smirk, "Where I met Huntz and Sara"

"Sara and I were at Zuckerberg for senior year the ONLY year we spent together all through high school" Logan said.

"That was because you were too busy getting kicked out of every other boarding school in Europe and the Eastern seaboard and Zuckerberg wasn't one of them because-" Sara started but was cut of by Logan and Tristan.

"It was stated in the contact" the two men said nodding their heads.

"You two had contracts drawn?" Paris asked, "Why would you guys do that?"

"Because since we started high school, I only saw Sara for one week in the summer and one week in the winter and since we're the children of powerful business men, we had our lawyers draw up contracts promising the two of us would spend senior year together" Logan explained. "Plus, my parents wanted me to last at least ONE year in the same school"

"Anyways long story short, Logan and I were in the top 5 of the senior student body and when Dugrey came he automatically bumped number 3 to number 4 because of his grades from military school" Sara said, "Which was surprising considering your grades from Chilton" she smirked at her fiance.

"Hey! In my defense, my grades were what brought me to Zuckerberg and Finn wasn't too mad that he lost his spot as top 5" Tristan said with a smirk.

"Yes and daddy's money and his brain cells were already dead anyways. He just copied off Colin's tests" Sara shot back with a smirk of her own. "But because of his grades, Tristan was in our AP classes, so naturally, although Logan and the gang was hesitant at first, we all ended up hanging out during our free time. Logan, Tristan and I had third period free so we spent the most time together then and I guess the rest is history" she looked at Logan with a smile.

"Tristan came to me one day and asked if Sara and I were dating, because he had tried to ask her out maybe once? Twice?" Logan shrugged not sure himself, "I think after she didn't give him an answer he was about to give up but realized in that brain of his, hey, maybe Sara and Logan are an item. Obviously I cleared the air with that and explained my relationship with Sara"

"In great detail" Sara interjected.

"Yes in great detail." Logan said with a nod, "I gave him a few tips, pointers, told her what she likes and what she doesn't like. He spent three weeks wooing her and when homecoming rolled around, he surprised her with balloons and flowers and finally got the yes he was waiting for. It wasn't easy for him though, I'm glad he stuck it out" he grinned.

Paris nodded slowly, she was truly surprised. Was Sara worth all the trouble that Tristan supposedly went through? She was beautiful, she had to admit that fact but her personality was so typical society girl. She was bubbly, blonde, looked like she would make the perfect society wife. This made Paris ask, "What happened after the two of you started dating? Obviously college was an issue and if I remember the Dugrey alma mater, Tristan was for sure Harvard bound."

Tristan shook his head, "Nope." he looked at Sara with a smile, "Princeton"

Noticing the confused look Paris had Sara filled in the blanks.

"Once graduation rolled around, Steph and the three stooges were Yale bound while Tristan and I went against both our families alma mater and went to Princeton"

"So obviously your parents weren't happy about it-" Paris started but was cut off when a cell phone went off.

"Shoot" Sara said looking at her cell with a frown, "I need to take this. Excuse me" she got up and answered the phone while walking into the house, her voice sounding serious leaving Tristan, Logan and Paris out on the patio.

"The office?" Logan asked.

Tristan nodded, "She's been sitting on a deal for a piece of land in Japan for the last three weeks. Hopefully this is a call that brings everything together"

"She's been fighting this deal for quite sometime now eh?" Logan asked with a sigh. "How much?"

"She's spent about three nights a week this past two weeks staying at the office till late" Tristan said, "I'm sure she'd be sleeping there if I never went to get her myself" he looked at Paris's questioning gaze, "She's the daughter of one the biggest hotel chains in North America and she wants to open a branch in Japan to bring the company overseas. She's taking over in two years"

"Wow…" was all Paris could say, so she wasn't a stepford wife. But there still seemed to be something off with her. "So you'll be joining her family business then? What about the law firm?"

"My, my Paris, so many questions coming from you." Tristan said with a smirk he had a strong feeling as to why,. "But to answer your second question, my brother will be taking over the firm once my father retires next year."

"And to answer your first, Tristan and I will be teaming up to run my family business once my father retires...if he retires" Sara said coming out with a big smile on her face.

"Good news?" Tristan asked noticing the large grin set on his fiancé's face.

"We got the land" Sara said her grin widening, if that were at all possible.

"That's great!" Logan said standing up to congratulate Sara but felt the back of his shirt being pulled back by Paris.

Congratulations were made between the four, even Paris managed a soft congrats. She was shocked as to how much she thought by just looking at Sara Simmons she could figure out. But it turns out, Paris was wrong all along and she realized, her assumptions of Sara were going to drive her and Logan apart.

The four moved to the lounge once the maid had started clearing the plates off the Patio table.

"Your parents have a really nice home" Paris said trying to play nice. Logan hadn't acknowledged her all lunch and that was probably because of what happened this morning so she was going to try to make an effort now. But she meant what she said, her family did have a nice home.

In the lounge, it was covered with pictures, not only family portraits but of pictures of family vacations, and she even saw a few with the Huntzbergers, a few with Logan, Sara and Honor growing up. One in particular caught her eye. It was on the fireplace. It was a picture frame with 6 photos surrounding one large one in the middle. The first was of Logan, Finn, Colin and Tristan standing looking dashing in suits in front of the Zuckerberg dorms. The second was of Steph and Sara wearing ball gowns with their arms wrapped around each other and big smiles on their faces. The third was a group photo of the six of them, Tristan and Colin's ties matching the colors of Sara and Steph's dresses accordingly. She couldn't help but notice that Logan's tie had matched Sara's dress as well as Finn's matching Steph's. The fourth and fifth had photo's of Sara with either Finn or Colin, the one with Finn had him carrying Sara bridal style and Logan and Tristan behind him with their arms crossed and looks of disapproval on their faces while the one with Colin was just the standard arm around the shoulder/waist pose.

The sixth one caught Paris's attention, it was of Logan and Sara, but it didn't look posed, it was as if the photographer had caught a candid moment between the two of them. The two of them had one arm wrapped around the other, both wearing identical smirks on their faces as if knowing what the other was thinking but the softness in Logan's eyes in the photo Paris had only seen a handful of times, those times were only with Rory Gilmore and never with her. It was then and there that Paris realized that Logan would never look at her like that but that didn't stop her from trying right?

The center photo was of Tristan and Sara, Tristan had a ring box that was open, while Sara's face held pure shock with one of her hands covering her mouth the other one held was in Tristan's hand that wasn't holding the box. The picture was totally caught in the moment and unexpected.

"That was when I gave her the promise ring" Tristan said with a soft smile noticing Paris looking at the photos.

"And we had to convince our parents it wasn't an engagement ring and that we had no plans on getting married behind their backs" Sara said shaking her head with a smile on her face.

After a few more minutes of small chatter and Paris being as nice as she can be, Tristan looked at his watch.

"Oh shit, we have to get ready for the party tonight"

Sara looked at Logan, his eyes begging for an out so he wouldn't have to drive Paris home or spend anytime with her for that matter.

She sighed, she was going to give Logan a price of her mind after this.

" Logan you promised to help set up for tonight right? My father would love to see you again before the party."

Logan had a quick flash of relief on his face but answered quickly. "Right….. Sorry Paris, I forgot to mention that when I picked you up today. I'll drive you home before we get started but I'll have to reschedule our date for today…" He sighed and muttered under his breath "and all the other ones after that"

"Actually, I have to go pick up the champagne that we specially ordered from France, so I'll drop Paris off on my way" Tristan suggested.

Paris was about to object, not happy about leaving Logan alone with Sara, the uneasy feeling in her stomach coming back.

"Are you sure man? I don't want to cause you trouble or anything" Logan said beating Paris to the punch.

"It's not a problem. Gives us time to catch up over the last few years" Tristan said grabbing his keys and wallet from the small table and pulled Sara up with him as he stood.

Logan and Paris stood up and followed Tristan and Sara to the foye.

"Thank you for coming" Sara said to Paris, her society smile plastered on her face. "It was nice meeting you" she held out her hand.

"Thank you for the lunch" Paris said all but glaring at Sara. She ignored Sara's hand.

The men cleared their throats, noticing the tension in the air right away. It was obvious, the two girls did not like each other. But Paris's face showed it more.

"Well I'll be back in a little while okay babe? Not too long. Don't eat all the cupcakes" Tristan said leaning down to give Sara a soft kiss. "Let's go Paris" he opened the door and led her out. He looked at Logan before he walked out the door, "Huntz"

"See you in a bit" Logan said, "and don't worry, I'll make sure there's at least one cupcake for you left" he smirked.

"Pffft, I would be lucky if there was even half" Tristan said with a laugh as he walked out.

Once the door closed, Logan and Sara made their way back into the lounge.

"Okay, not so enjoyable lunch over. Best friend time" Sara said, "Marie, could you make us some coffee and bring out the cupcakes please?"

"Yes mam" the maid said and walked into the kitchen.

"So talk" Sara said sitting down on the love seat, motioning for Logan to sit next to her. "Why the hell are you dating a Gellar of all people?"

Logan told Sara about how he had remet her when Elias was in the hospital and how the night before that he had seen Rory at a function with some other man so since Rory moved on, he didn't see why he couldn't.

That explanation earned him a smack on the back of his head, a rather hard one.

"You're an idiot" Sara said shaking her head, taking a cupcake from the table. "I feel like since Tristan and I left for Princeton, your brain cells died. Have twenty plus years of friendship not taught you anything?!" She smacked him again and again.

"Hey! Hey!" Logan winced trying to block her hits.

"One you're using Gellar to get revenge on Gilmore, and two if Gellar is anything like her cousin that we were at Zuckerberg with, she's going to hold on for as long as she can. She's going to expect a ring. I saw the way she looked at my ring and that longing gaze on her face. It was obvious" she let out a breath as if trying to calm herself down.

"She's crazy if she thinks I'm going to put a ring on her finger" Logan muttered running his hands through his hair.

"She's crazy in general from what I can tell" Sara muttered eating a cupcake. "That or she just wants to settle down"

Logan muttered something under his breath that Sara couldn't pick up.

"What was that?" Sara asked with a raised eye brow.

"Sometimes I just wish that we went with the plan" Logan said louder, "you know…"

"And we also know that the arranged marriage would've never worked out" Sara said simply, "come on Huntz, I know you better. The reason it wouldn't have worked was would be because…"

"Our mothers would never agree on what you would do after we got married. Annette wants you to work and Shira…"

"Would want me to be a stepford wife who stays at home planning events" Sara finished his sentence with a cringe. "Plus, your heart belongs to Rory Gilmore. Everyone… Even Paris knows that. Everyone knows that Rory Gilmore will be the only girl to make you happy. She completes you." She finished bluntly.

Logan looked at Sara with a wince "you are utterly blunt you know that?"

Sara shrugged taking another cupcake from the table, "and you just figured this out now?" She took a big bite, "the way I see it, you love her. You're still hurting at the fact she rejected your proposal, and you're using Paris to try to get over that pain. But as I said earlier, no idea why Paris of all people" Sara swallowed and continued, " I met her a while back. Tristan introduced us when we ran into her in Hartford. Nice girl, I could see why every guy would fall in love with her. She's witty, smart, can keep up in conversation. Also she's not a ditz"

"She's the brown haired version of you" Tristan said walking back into the room and took a seat next to Sara grabbing a cupcake in the process. "Oh thank god you didn't eat all of them"

Sara and Logan only stared at him.

"What?" Tristan asked, "it's true. That's what made me so attracted to Sara, were the traits she had similar to Rory."

"That's it?" Sara asked looking at her fiancé.

Tristan shook his head, "you're not a Mary. You're a lot more outgoing and adventurous but that's probably cause you grew up with Huntz and the three musketeers."

Logan tilted his head to the side thinking, "you might have a point…"

"I hope you know she's going to be there tonight" Tristan said, "and I also have this feeling Paris will cause a scene. She asked me if we've chosen our bridesmaids yet and that she was willing to step in if necessary"

Sara glared at Tristan, "and you said…"

"That you'll make your decision tonight but not to hold her breath" Tristan said with a shrug.

"Who's going to be part of your guys wedding party anyways?" Logan asked.

"Well I have you, gotta ask Finn and Colin and then there's Austin." Tristan said, "you of course being my best man"

"Then for me I have to ask, Steph, Rosemary, Louise and Rory." Sara said counting off her fingers.

Logan choked on his coffee, "R-Rory?"

Sara nodded, "we've gotten together a few times since we met. I like her, and it's to match Tristan's four men party. I was going to ask Honor but she volunteered to plan the wedding with me so our parents...you know" She suddenly sat up, "that reminds me, I invited the girls over so I can ask them this afternoon."

The doorbell rang.

"And that would be them" Sara said getting up, "Marie, after you answer the door, could you bring the Sangria from the fridge along with the glasses into the lounge please?"

"Yes mam" the voice called from the foye.

Sara turned to look at the two men with a raised eyebrow, "Are you guys staying? Or leaving?"

Tristan and Logan shared a look, "We're gonna go into the entertainment room and watch the game that's on. Come find us when you girls are done squealing over your engagement ring" Logan said getting up with Tristan and started to walk out of the room.

"Hello? Anyone home?" A voice yelled from the foye.

"Oh you guys are here!" She said going up to the girls as they started walking in. "Okay men, now shoo!" she said pushing Logan and Tristan out of the lounge.

"Logan?" a voice said causing Logan to stop in his tracks.
