Yale Alumni Party - Finn
Request; Wasn’t one. I watched the episode and adore Finn.
Summary; Rory is with Dean, and her sister is single. Both of them are invited to their grandparents Yale Alumni party, Rory gives them the benefit of the doubt, but Y/N knows better and does everything she can to do this her own way.
Me and Rory had been invited to our grandparents for a party and Rory thought it was a good idea and I agreed to go with her but I was not as naive as Rory was and I knew something was up.
It was suspicious that this came a week after Rory had revealed she was once again with Dean and they knew I’d been single for a while. Rory went at six like they asked, but I was turning up at seven and told Rory to tell them I got held up, and I was glad I did.
This was a clear set up as all their ‘Yale Alumni friends’ had sons, no daughters. They had made Rory up like a princess but the make up artist and hair dresser had gone when I turned up.
I went and found Grandma straight away. “Hi Grandma, sorry I’m late.”
“Oh, it’s quite alright. You look lovely.” She smiled. “It’s a shame you couldn’t get here earlier, Rory had her hair and make up redone.”
“Oh what a shame.” I sighed. “Maybe next time.” I nodded, Grandpa came over and introduced me to a lot of people. Thankfully, I had Rory by my side for most of it. At one point, we both managed to sneak into the study.
“Phone Mom.” I said to Rory. “She needs to know.”
“I wish I’d come with you.” She sighed.
“I told you, it’s better to be late to these things.” I shrugged, as she dialed Mom, putting her on loudspeaker.
“I told you.” Mom immediately said, as she answered. “Whatever’s going on on that party. I told you.”
“Do you wanna hear or wanna gloat?” I asked.
Rory told her everything that had happened to her and Mom was not impressed.
“But what about Y/N? Didn’t they do anything to her?”
“I turned up late on purpose because I’m smart.”
“That’s my girl.” Mom said proudly.
“We better go, they’ll definitely notice us missing at this party.” Rory sighed. We hung up and I dragged her to the patio where less people were until some guy named Jordan appeared to speak to Rory. I looked around and spotted Logan and Finn, giving me an idea.
“Excuse me, I’ll be right back.” Rory gave me a look to say “Please don’t leave me.” and I responded with a look that said “Trust me.”
I had been friends with Logan and Finn for a year now, and knew Rory knew them for her Life and Death Brigade story.
“Logan, Finn. I need you guys.” I said, as I reached them. “I need you to pretend to date me and Rory before we get cornered.” I gestured over to Rory.
“What will I get in return?” Finn asked.
“I’ll set you both up with any of my friends you want, preferably not the same one.”
They both agreed, and promised to head over in a few minutes so as not to look suspicious. Some other guy had joined Jordan and my god, they were boring. I was glad when I heard the boys.
“So sorry were late, ladies.” Finn ‘apologized’, putting an arm around me.
“Yeah, thanks for keeping our girls busy man.” Logan smiled at the boys. “Otherwise, they may have noticed how late we are.”
Rory grinned when she saw what a did, and she rested her head on Logan’s shoulder as I wrapped an arm around Finn.
“Wait, you two are with these two?” Jordan asked.
“Going on a year and a half.” Logan answered.
“Two years and a month.” Finn smiled.
“Aww, you remembered the months.” I said, kissing his cheek.
“Then why the hell are we here?” The other guy grumbled. They wandered off as me and Rory thanked the boys.
“God, I hate these parties.” Finn grumbled, as Logan removed his arm from Rory, Finns remained where it was.
“Me too, but hey theres alcohol and your Grandma makes excellent food.”
“My grandma?” Rory was confused. How was she confused? They obviously knew them, why else would they be here?
“Logan?” Grandpa said. Logan turned to greet him and they had a conversation before Grandpa turned to Finn.
“And who is this young gentleman?” He asked, noticing Finns arm around me, and me cuddling into him.
“Oh this is Finn.” I introduced him, as they shook hands. “I met him and Logan at the start of my freshman year and we became friends. I figured it was time to introduce Rory to them.”
I knew Rory knew them but mostly through Life and Death Brigade and if Grandpa and Grandma learned about her jump with Logan, they’d die. I was part of the Brigade and attended the event but did not jump.
I knew he’d like that as Logan was a Huntzberger. Once they established Finn was also in Yale, Grandpa was happy.
“Since you girls seem to be in safe hands, I’m going to make another round and end up at the bar.”
“Bye Grandpa.” I smiled as he left.
“And that is why you should of kept in the same position.” Finn told Logan. “Now, he thinks Y/N has chosen a suitable gentleman.”
“Oh, Finn you are neither suitable or a gentleman.” I teased.
“You wound me.”
“Okay, first step to dealing with boring parties, make a sub-party, relocation.” Logan said, as he grabbed two bottles of champagne and handed a third one to Finn. “Colin!”
“Colin’s here?” I asked, turning to see him joining us.
We headed over to the poolhouse, and had our own party.
“Rory, Y/N. Your grandfather has horrible taste in scotch.” Colin told us, walking past the couch where I was sat between Rory and Finn.
“I think you should go inside and tell him that.” Rory suggested.
“If he hasn’t learned by now, I certainly can’t teach him.”
“Hey, Colin remember to top that up with something.” Logan reminded him. “Don’t want Ace or Y/N getting in trouble now.”
Colin assured he would, as Logan offered us another drink.
“No, because that is alcohol and it’s bad and we’re bad for drinking it.” Finn said, making me laugh. “Spank me.” This was said in all seriousness.
“Bend over then.” I challenged him, but before he could Logan spoke.
“So, what are your ladies choices?” He asked. “This is an obvious meat market, and I’m sure your grandparents are expecting you both pick someone by the end of tonight.”
This prompted all the guys in the poolhouse to chant pick me at me and Rory with Finn handing me a vase full of flowers.
“A room full of guys and still slim pickings.” Logan laughed
“I don’t know, maybe I should let my boyfriend help me choose.” Rory said.
“You have a boyfriend?” Rory nodded, and they turned to me.
“What about you?”
“I’m single.” This prompted to the boys all asking them to pick me again.
“You promised to set me up with someone you knew, any one I wanted. “Finn reminded me. “And I want you.”
“Guess, I’m spoken for guys.” I shrugged, causing Fin to over-dramatically kiss my cheek. “But you are actually taking me out for this Finn.”
“But of course my darling, all the best for the girl I love.”
I laughed and rolled my eyes at the antics, when Rory turned to me panicked. “What time is it?”
“8:45.” I told her. “Oh shoot, Dean.” We both jumped up and I helped her get ready. Once they found out Dean was her boyfriend, they all followed us outside.
“I’m sorry she’s late Dean. It’s my fault.” I lied. “My grandparents set this up for me to find a Yale guy and I was trying to get her to stay with me.”
Rory silently thanked me before talking to Dean who broke up with her on the spot. I ran over to her as Dean left and hugged her.
“Okay guys back to the poolhouse.” I called. “It’s major cheer up time.”
“I shall re-enact Passion of the Christ.” Finn yelled, as they began to walk back.
“It’ll be okay.” I assured her. “Nothing seems as bad after Finn’s Passion of the Christ.”
“She’s right.” Logan agreed, who’d hung back to walk with us. “Because it’s terrible.”
We got a small smile out of Rory. “I’m gonna head to the bathroom and clean myself up, meet you there?”
I nodded. “Avoid Grandpa and Grandma, if they see you crying and find out about what happened, they’ll try even harder.”
“If you see them, tell them you’ve gotta get back to me.” Logan suggested.
“Thanks guys.” Rory ran off and me and Logan walked on.
“He actually does like you, you know? Finn, he’s been dying to ask you out for ages.” Logan told me. “Since he’s met you, there’s been no girls.”
“But he always talks about them.” I frowned.
“Yeah, to make you jealous.” He told me. “Just give him a real chance, yeah?”
“I will.” I smiled at Logan. We entered the poolhouse for Finn to appear by my side with alcohol. “So, next Saturday, 8. I’ll pick you up from your dorm?”
“Sounds like a plan.” I smiled. Rory ran back in at this point.
“I saw them but I said we were hanging with Logan and Finn and they were happy and let me go.”
“Awesome.” I grinned, handing her a drink. “Let’s party.”
Afterwards, we ended up in a limo which took me and Rory home, I got out with Logan and Finn following me so Rory could leave. Rory stumbled out, making me laugh.
Before he could leave, I grabbed Finn’s tie and pulled him in for a kiss amidst whoops and cheers. “See you next week, handsome.” I grinned, pulling apart. “Bye guys, C’mon Rory.”
I grabbed her hand and we ran towards the house. Tonight actually turned out great.
