I used to be a romantic. Then I met the Gilmores.

So, this is how I think tonight's episode of Gilmore Girls should have gone:

With MASSIVE spoilers for GG 7.21 'Unto the Breach'

Before the party
LOGAN: Rory, before we go in there, I have something to say: I want to ask you to marry me.
RORY: The huh?
LOGAN: I love you, and want to be with you. I want you to know that.
RORY: I do know that...
LOGAN: Then think about it. After the party we'll talk about it, and what we can do to make it work. After all, I have a great job offer in California, and you may end up working anywhere, so we need to be realistic about all this. Love may be a lot, but it don't pay the bills.
RORY: It can if you get the right agent.
LOGAN: You worry me sometimes.
RORY: Thanks. Logan, I love you.
LOGAN: And I love you, Ace.
*kisses*

Later, before Rory's grad
RORY: I'm glad we've spent the last few days talking about getting married, Logan, but I don't think I'm ready at this point. My career (assuming I don't end up jobless and living in my mom's place) may take me anywhere, and it wouldn't be fair of me to not acknowledge that, or to hold you back in any way from your own dreams. I do love you, and that hasn't changed.
LOGAN: I'm disappointed, but I understand your reasoning. I love you too, with all my heart, and because of that, I think we should stick together. We can do long distance.
RORY: We've done it before.
LOGAN: And then, maybe someday when we're both famous, we can talk rings again.
RORY: You're the most amazing man in the universe.
LOGAN: Well, I do have abs of steel.
RORY: We're going to take the world by storm, Hunzberger!
LOGAN: Go get that diploma, Ace. You've earned it.
RORY: *twu wuv*
LOGAN: *twu wuv*
TV AUDIENCE: *ded from kute*


Of course, this would have needed the characters to be WHOLE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Like, seriously. Has Logan never even met Rory? And that all or nothing bullshit. Gah.

Yes, I know it's a tv show/soap opera. But I can still wish for a little more realism in my pop culture.

What happened is that Logan asked Rory to marry him *in front of a 100-person party at her grandparents house*. She pulls him outside, tells him she needs to think about it. He says it's all set, they'll live in CA where he got a job, she can work at a paper in San Fransisco, and he's ever got their house picked out.

You might guess she's a little wigged at this point.

Then, after her graduation ceremony, Logan presses her on it, then he says he loves her SO MUCH and that unless she marries him, he's dumping her ass on her graduation day.

So not making this up.

So she still has to say no, and he walks away without looking back.

And I started yelling at the telly.

Good Lord, I'd yell at the television too! If I threw a pencil at it at the ending of Angel, that would probably earn a remote control *nods*.
I think I like your version much better, yay *happy* endings, haha. When's the series finale, or was that it?

Series finale is next week. Time to move on, as they say.
