Posts: 262 (03/05/07 22:12:34) More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Drunk Logan Chapter 1 As Veronica was wading her way through the drunk 09ers, she couldnt help but laugh at herself. There was a time in her life when she thought that this was great. Her, Lilly, Duncan and Logan drinking and dancing the night away with their friends used to be the highlight of her week. Now it just repulses her. Unfortunately, she did agree to help out a girl at school, Lexi, who wanted to know if her boyfriend, Jack, was cheating on her. Okay, truthfully, she was hired by one of the random 09er bimbos who wanted to know if her boyfriend was cheating on her. Most likely, Lexi just wanted to feel justified about hooking up with some guy at a college frat party last week, but thats beside the point. Veronica could care less. She is being paid to find out information. Nothing more, nothing less. This party was the perfect setting. Lexi was out of town for the weekend, leaving Jack unsupervised and ready for his close-up with the camera, Veronicas camera to be more exact. ________________________________ Dumped again....cheated on again. As much as he tried to ignore it, he had known that Lilly wasnt all that faithful. Sometimes she would pick a fight with him and cause a big scene just so they could break up long enough for her to indulge in whatever new guy had caught her eye. Other times, she wouldnt even go through the trouble of breaking it off. She would just become distant with him and be unreachable when he would call her at all times of the day and night. Logan figured that Lilly was just too full of life. She was this amazing light with endless energy who really was too much for just one person to handle. Even in her friendships, it took him, Veronica and Duncan just to keep up with her. Then there was Caitlin. Not only was she cheating on him, but with someone like Chardo. He didnt have money or power or status of any sort, unless you counted local low-rent hoodlum as status. Caitlin wasnt Lilly. Caitlin needed Logan. Certainly not for love, he knew that, but she wasnt the Queen of Neptune High like Lilly had been. She needed Logan for the status and he didnt mind the fringe benefits that came along with that, although, she really was just too skinny. He was never able to fully enjoy sex with her, feeling that he could break her at any given moment. Logan couldnt figure out when his life had gotten this way. What was it about him that made it so easy for girls to cheat on him and treat him like crap. He had really gotten himself worked up by the time Duncan came to pick him up for the party. They didnt talk much on the way there, Logan was too wrapped up in his thoughts. When they entered the house, they began heading to the kitchen where the bar was set up. Duncan saw Veronica sitting in a corner just out of notice. He really had been looking forward to a night of just forgetting about her and seeing how great she looked was not helping his quest. He decided he didnt want to deal with it. Logan, you know, Im just not into this tonight, Im leaving. You can find a ride home, right? Duncan said, knowing that his friend was the King of Neptune High and would have people begging to be his chauffeur for the night. Logan just nodded to him, not saying anything, and continued toward the kitchen. A few minutes later, he found his buddies gathered around the keg. He was very emotional, but was trying to hide it as he stood around with his friends while they were drinking and talking about the chicks they were planning on banging at the end of the night. Dick could tell that something was off with Logan and being Dick, just couldnt leave it alone. He piped up, Logan, dude, youre already smashed, arent you? Youre supposed to wait until you get here to start drinking. You decide to have your own little party, or something? Logan thought about his friends inquiry for a minute. What was he going to do, cry to all these guys about how nobody loved him? No way. So, he decided to just go along with it and began to really play up being drunk. You know how it is, man. Got to get the most out of my party years! Logan tried to sound as though he couldnt be happier about his situation. _____________________________ Veronica had stationed herself in a corner that allowed her to stay mostly out of sight while being able to see where most of the kids were dancing and keep an eye on the keg at the same time. That way she would be able to follow Jacks movements, keeping an eye on him on the dance floor and during his drink breaks. So far, it hadnt helped. Jack hadnt done anything yet that spelled out Kodak moment. With her location, she was able to learn a few things about her classmates, though. She had seen Madison coming out of the bathroom with Sean Fredrick. She was reapplying her lipstick while he was adjusting his zipper. Of course, Veronica got the distinct pleasure of watching her leave the bathroom and head straight for the bar that the keg was at. Madison picked up a Diet Coke, but before she could drink it was interrupted by Dicks tongue in her mouth. Dick, what the heck? Madison screeched as she pushed him away angrily. What, I cant kiss my girlfriend now? Gees, cant you take that stick out of your butt for one night? Dick was yelling after her as she stormed off. Veronica bathed in the glory of Madison and Dicks relationship. Okay, maybe it was more of the fact that she got to bathe in the knowledge of where Madisons mouth had been immediately preceding her interlude with Dicks tongue. Dick deserved no less. While still enjoying the replay in her mind, Veronica was pulled out of her thoughts by Dicks annoying voice. When she looked over to the group of guys she noticed that Logan had joined them. Great, look who showed up. Even better...hes already drunk off his butt. Hopefully I can avoid him. I definitely am not in the mood to put up with Logans crap tonight, especially not Drunk Logans crap. Next thing she knew, there were kids running everywhere yelling something about the cops. Oh great, the cops are breaking up the party. This night couldnt get any better! Veronica started to make her way to the door when she ran right into someone. She would have fallen, but was caught by none other than the boy she was set on avoiding all night. Luckily there was no time to waste or to trade insults. They both stayed quiet and continued to head out the door. _________________________________ Logan heard the other kids yelling about the cops and rolled his eyes. Of course, Im here for a whole 15 minutes and its time to leave. Logan started to make his way outside when he almost ran over a petite little blonde. He was shocked when that little blonde looked up and he realized he was looking into the eyes of none other than Veronica Mars. What is she doing here? She hasnt been to one of these in months. Well, no time to harass her now, but Ill think of some way to mess with her at school on Monday. As soon as he made his way out of the house, it hit him. He let out an exasperated groan. He had forgotten that he needed a ride home and he hadnt told any of his friends. That might be why, when he looked around, he was seeing all of his friends cars drive off, leaving him stranded. Just then Veronica brushed by him. Well, if Im going to do this, Id better really turn on the drunk act, Logan thought to himself. _________________________________ Veronica had finally made it to her car and just as she was about to turn the key, her passenger door opened and a very intoxicated Logan stumbled into her passenger seat. No, no way, Logan. Get out! Get out now! She was now yelling because he wasnt moving at all. Then, he turned to her and a smirk slowly spread across his face. He blinked slowly and slurred as he spoke, almost acting surprised that she was there. Ronnie! Hey, what are you doing here? He let his eyes wander around the car making sure not to focus them too much on any one thing. What am I doing here? This is my car. What are you doing here? No, wait, it doesnt matter. I told you to get out, Logan. Veronica was fuming now. Not only was she not able to avoid Logan, but now he was in her car and wouldnt budge. By the scene playing out in the front of her, with the police beginning to fill the yard, Veronica knew she wouldnt be free of Logan very soon. She had to get out of there if she didnt want to have to explain to her dad why she was partying it up with the 09ers. She was pulled out of her thoughts when Logan leaned in front of her and pointed out the window. Looks like were going to be having a chat with the cops if you dont get this rust bucket moving. He chuckled so that she wouldnt know how anxious he was. He still wasnt sure if she would give in and give him a ride home or if she would stay there and face the cops just to spite him. Leave feedback here, please: **DO NOT ENTER...unless you are truly devoted to LoVe, then come right in* Tuesday, my night to put the kids to bed, send the husband to the bedroom. Tuesday, my night to perch, anxiously awaiting the chime of 9:00. The calm, the excitement, the hour when all else fades and there is but one single focus. No jokes, no games, just the intense study of this thing we call LoVe.

Posts: 262 (03/07/07 01:16:14) More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Drunk Logan Chapter 2 Veronica stared at Logan for a moment longer before finally giving in with a growl and cranking the engine. They had about a 10 minute drive ahead of them and she knew that it would be the longest 10 minutes of her life. Just as she was thinking that this night couldnt get any worse, Logan showed her the error in her judgement. She watched out of the corner of her eye as he rolled the window up and down, played with the door locks and then finally settled on playing with the radio. It was when he started changing the preset stations that she couldnt take it anymore. Logan, stop! Veronica cringed, knowing that he would just revel in the fact that he had gotten to her. She was surprised when he actually stopped. This is when he chose to begin singing along with the radio...and not very quietly....and not really in tune. To add to it, he started drumming his fingers on the dash...and not to the beat. She was getting ready to push him out of the car while it was still moving, but then he stopped everything and opened his mouth to speak. ____________________________________ Logan was quite pleased with himself. He wasnt sure if there was anything more that he could do to irritate Veronica. Hes pretty sure that he had done it all. Now, singing away he begins to think over the night. As he does, he remembers what it is that brought him to this point and like a Mack truck, it hits him. Suddenly, he finds himself battling for control of his emotions. His mind is replaying the times that Lilly would cheat on him and how easily he went crawling back to her, wanting to bask in her light. As much as he put up a front, always the showman, he really had loved her. Then there was Caitlin. Again, not that he cared so much about her, but she cheated on him. What was it about him? Why was he so easily run over, so easily forgotten? If he really thought about it, he could add his family to the equation. Not that they were necessarily cheating on him, but they had each abandoned him in their own way. His father was an abusive SOB and only showed him love when he was selling himself to the paparazzi. His mother abandoned him every time his father needed to teach him a lesson. She turned her back on Logan and turned to the pills and alcohol. Trina, well, she was just a selfish wench. She didnt care about anything that didnt advance her career, which made her definitely Daddys Girl. If someone would just tell me what makes me so easily discarded...but, of course not. I couldnt ask any of my friends because their too busy kissing my butt to tell me the truth about anything. Dick might if he saw beyond booze and babes..oh, and surfing. Duncan is too diplomatic, wouldnt want to burn any bridges he might need to cross on his Presidential campaign tour. There is no one who knows me well enough to answer the question, but cares so little about my reaction to answer it honestly. Then lightening struck. Wait just one minute. There is someone who fits that exact description and she happens to be stuck in a car with me right now. She is actually perfect because she has experience with turning her back on me and not looking back. I thought we were great friends and that the Fab Four couldnt be broken amidst all of the fake adoration that surrounded us. After Lilly died, though, it was so easy for her to forget, forget me. Now, how do I go about asking something like that without completely opening myself up to this girl that I hate, who hates me just as much? And, how do I get her to answer and answer honestly? I have to bait her into it. The only way to get a reaction and make that stoic facade of hers melt is to bait her. So, Ron-nie. Logan slurred and then waggled his eyebrows suggestively. Done the baseball team recently? Wait for it, wait for it... He sees her lips form into a tight, thin line and her eyebrows scrunch together. Here it comes. _______________________________ What the heck Logan? You, of all people, know that those stupid rumors arent true. Heck, youve started most of them! Why dont you just shut up about who Ive been with and concentrate on keeping track of your own business. It seems to me that you are projecting what is happening in your own relationships on to me and what I do. What are you, just blind to the fact that all of your girlfriends seem to want to sleep with everyone else? Veronica couldnt help but yell. Sure she was used to hearing these kinds of remarks and normally she could handle them a lot better. There was just something about tonight and being in this situation. When she was at school, she was always ready for battle. Before she even left the house she would adorn herself with a kick-butt attitude. She used to walk the halls with her head down, just trying to make it to her next class without making eye contact with anyone. Now, she held her head high and was prepared to pitch back any of the crap that people sent her way. On occasion, she would need a reprieve. She was always able to escape to her car if needed. It was her sanctuary in the midst of the hell called school. Tonight, though, it seems that hell had invited itself into her sanctuary, in the form of Demon Spawn Echolls himself. If he thought he could get away with this crap in her car, while she was giving his sorry drunk butt a ride home, he had another thing coming. ________________________________ Hook, line and sinker. Logan smugly thought to himself. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how its done. Pay attention, kiddies, because phase 2 is where you really grab them. Logan furrowed his eye brows, put his hand on his chin and spoke with a mock-serious tone, So then, Dr. Freud, since you seem to have such a good handle on my situation, what is my problem? What is it about me that makes, as you put it, all my girlfriends want to sleep with everyone else. Logan made sure that he did the air quotes while referring to what she had said, but made sure that his hand coordination was just a bit off and slowed. He had to play this one very carefully. They were starting to get to the meat of the matter and he couldnt risk dropping the drunk act now. If he didnt watch everything he did, she would figure it out. Shes just too smart for her own good. Veronica didnt answer, but he could see it behind her eyes. There was something she wanted to say, but wasnt willing to say it. Not yet at least. Come on, Ronnie. Youre the smart one here, Ms. 4.0, future Stanford-Alum-nus. Logan added a little hiccup at the end. ____________________________________ I can not believe I am biting my tongue. Logan, Jackass, Echolls is offering me the perfect opportunity to tell him what a moron he is, and Im not taking it? What is this world coming to? Saved by the bell or the gate. Veronica thought as she pulled up to Logans gated driveway. Okay, your home, safe and sound. Now get out. Dont let the door hit ya on the way out. She was so close to getting this night over with, she could almost taste it. Just one last step and he would be out of her car and she would just drive away. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Ronnie. You didnt actually think you could do me like that, did you. This is curb to curb service. Now just go right ahead and punchy in the little codey and well be on our way. Its 55734(hiccup)69. Logan added. Now I know that he is beyond drunk. Veronica mused as she pulled through the gate. There is no way he would ever offer up the code of his security gate to her. It wasnt that he valued what was behind those gates so much. It had more to do with his arrogant attitude and him using something like a gate code to represent the vast divide in their social status. By giving her his gate code, he was letting her have access to that life, to the unattainable. Nighty-night, Ronnie. Logan slurred as the car came to a stop in front of his front door. Then he grabbed for the door handle and pulled just far enough so that when it slipped out of his hand, it made a nice thumping sound. He tried again, but again the handle just sprung back into place. This moron is killing my door. Veronica thought as she watched him clawing at the door and tugging on the door lock that was already unlocked while slamming his shoulder against it. She quickly leaned over and gently tugged on the door handle, letting the door swing open as Logan was pushing against it. In his inebriated state, he couldnt keep his balance against the shifting weight of the door and found himself flat on the ground giggling like a 12-year old school girl. Veronica groaned and pushed her own door open. When she made it to his side of the car, she considered just slamming the door shut and driving off. Unfortunately, his head was in the way. Not that she would mind shutting his head in the door, but truth was, it was just too big and she would never be able to get her door closed. She reluctantly bent down and started to help him up. He wrapped his arm around her and continued to giggle as she struggled to stand him upright. Wow, Ronnie, if you wanted to wrap me in your arms, all you had to do was ask. Where are my keys? What did you do with my keys? I cant get into my house without my keys, Ronnie, so hand em over. Logan was ranting as he smacked his pockets looking for his keys. Of course he was too drunk to notice that every time he hit his left front pocket, you could hear the keys jingle. Against her better judgement, Veronica reached into his pocket to pull out his keys. Well be here all night if I let him continue looking for them. And that is when she remembered why it was against her better judgement to reach into his pocket. Why, Ronnikins, I do declare. Do I need to be on guard to protect my virtue around you tonight? Logan played totally exasperated. Youre a sly one there. Veronica just rolls her eyes as she unlocks the door and leads him toward the staircase to his room. As they make their way up the stairs and into his room, Logan is bugging her to answer his earlier question. What question, what are you talking about? Veronica insists. You were going to set me straight, enlighten me, solve all my problems. You were going to tell me why it is that I cant keep a girl satisfied. Logan is being over-the-top dramatic now. Youre being ridiculous! No, Veronica, really. Tell us, inquiring minds want to know. Shut up and get to sleep, Logan. Well, folks, I never thought Id see the day. The great Veronica Mars is backing down, running away....pulling a Mama Mars on us. Logan spoke in an announcers voice with stilted hand movements and a swaying body. Thats it, Im sick of this! Im not a saint, you know. If he wants it, hes got it. Its not as if hell remember this conversation in the morning. Heck, he probably wont even remember how he got home, let alone who got him here. Veronica remembered all the times that Lilly, Duncan and her would spend the day telling Logan about all the things that had happened at the party they were at the night before. He was there too, he would just get too drunk and pass out, then remember next to nothing the next day. Its your fault! Its because youre so dang STUPID!! Veronica blurts out before she can stop herself. Please leave feedback here" LoVe, you can't handle the LoVe, Rob Thomas Tuesday, my night to put the kids to bed, send the husband to the bedroom. Tuesday, my night to perch, anxiously awaiting the chime of 9:00. The calm, the excitement, the hour when all else fades and there is but one single focus.

I didn't say that it would necessarily be in order of how it appeared on the show. Thanks for the feedback! ___________________________ Its your fault! Its because youre so dang STUPID!! Veronica blurts out before she can stop herself. Logan looks away for just a second as he tries to mask his surprise. No, Mars-ie, tell me how you really feel. Dont hold back now. Logan says in an almost manically excited tone. He is now rethinking his idea of asking for her opinion. This getting an honest answer thing may not be the best plan. She is going to be brutally honest, emphasis on the brutal. Oh well, here it comes. (A/N: The idea of brutally honest comes from Jerry Maguire, not exact wording.) Veronica takes a deep breath and then calmly continues, What are you thinking, Logan? What is it that makes you choose the bimbos you go out with? You are the King of Neptune High, she says sarcastically. You could go out with anyone you wanted. For reasons unknown to me, there are lots of girls who would love to go out with you. And you still manage to pick the girls who are only interested in you for your money, or who your dad is or what you can do for their social status. Although I loved Lilly like a sister, she just loved playing with you. You were her entertainment, we all were. Really, Logan. You pick out these girls who have no intention of caring about you and then you wonder why they treat you like crap. She is really frustrated with him now. You should require better for yourself! You are so much better than all of that. She is looking into his eyes now, attempting to get through the thick haze of alcohol clouding his brain, imploring him to truly understand what she is saying. The real Logan or the Logan I used to know, at least, is funny and quick-witted. You protect the people you care about with an unmatched ferocity, and youve got that wicked little smirk and fireworks behind your eyes that can turn the worst of days into the best. And, Logan, youre ability to love. You have this amazing ability to love. You jump in with both feet and love with you whole heart...you hate with your whole heart, too, but... That is when Logans hands grab her shoulders and his mouth is suddenly on hers. He has no idea what is happening or what even made him do it. All he remembers is being completely stunned into silence when she started her little tirade. He couldnt say anything, he couldnt do anything to make her stop speaking. His mind was reeling as he tried to comprehend these mostly kind words coming out of her mouth. Sure there was sarcasm and a few insults thrown in here and there, but if he didnt know better, he would think that she was complimenting him. Veronica Mars, his #1 enemy, the girl who he had tried to destroy for the better part of the last year was actually complimenting him. _________________________ One minute she is speaking, practically lecturing Logan Echolls, the next she is kissing him. Okay, correction, he is kissing her. She would never kiss him. Why is he kissing me? He would never kiss me, either. Hes drunk, he doesnt even know what hes doing. I wonder if he even knows who hes kissing. Suddenly she realizes that throughout her analysis of the situation, they have not stopped kissing. Not only are they still kissing, but somehow they have ended up on his bed and he is laying on top of her. As soon as she realizes it, she pushes him back. What the? What are you doing, Logan? She has a shocked look on her face and her eyes are huge while she stares into his equally shocked expression. Kissing you, whats it look like? Logan thinks to himself, but knows he cant say that. He knows that this is crazy and starts to panic about what to do next. Then, he remembers. He can still save the drunk act. Heck, why would I kiss her unless I was completely wasted? Im not, but she doesnt know that. His thoughts are interrupted by her now irate voice. This is not happening, Logan. No matter how drunk you are, I know that you wouldnt just forget how much you hate me. What? Are you just trying to get with the school slut? Thanks, but no thanks. His mind is swirling as he thinks back over all of the hurt that hes caused her and knows that he cannot defend any of it or justify the fact that he wanted to kiss her, that he is truly consumed by her all of the sudden. He doesnt even understand it. How can he expect her to. He does hate her and she hates him. There is a symbiosis to their relationship that works very well for them. He doesnt know what to do, so he does the only thing that comes to mind...he passes out on her. More specifically, he passes out on top of her. For some unknown reason, he still wants to be close to her. Even if hes not really holding her...their bodies are pressed together, his arms are draped around her. _____________________________________ She is surprised, then irritated again. Then, as she looks down at his relaxed face, she sees the boy she remembers. She sees none of the daggers that are usually coming from his eyes, none of his rude gestures or name calling. Just the boy she remembers. She sighs heavily and gently caresses his hair with just the tips of her index finger and thumb as if she is almost afraid of touching him. I wish Lilly were still here. She may have been evil, but she loved us in her own way and she knew how to fix us. She would be able to make you feel better, to heal your heart. You are just so angry all the time. Shes whispering to him, not because she thinks she will wake him from his nearly comatose state. Lilly is a sacred subject and not to be spoken of lightly, especially with Logan. They never speak of her these days. They never really speak, except to trade insults. She struggles for a bit, but is finally able to free herself from under him. ______________________________________________ Logan is thinking over everything that has happened tonight, before and after the kiss, and he is shocked. Shocked at her kind words, shocked at her loving actions. It was like they were best friends again. Like he hadnt made it his lifes purpose to serve as the bane of her existence. Like he hadnt let the air out of her tires, prank called her, started rumors about her being a slut when he knew for a fact that wasnt true. He was pretty sure she was still a virgin if her Ive Never... confession was still true. Yeah, sure enough, he was totally stunned at how much care she had taken with him. Little did he know, he hadnt begun to be shocked until he was taken out of his thoughts by what she was now doing and saying. Before she leaves, she pours him a shot of Jack and places it on his nightstand along with a glass of water and an opened bottle of aspirin. She know hes going to need this in the morning. She takes off his shoes and covers him with a blanket. While she is doing all of this, she is talking to herself, berating herself for being so stupid. You should have known better, Veronica. What were you thinking going to another 09er party, Veronica? Nothing good ever comes out of those parties, Veronica. Youd think being drugged and raped at Shellys would have been enough of a lesson for you. She lets out a little exasperated 'huh' and shakes her head. Guess youre not as smart as you thought. Way to let yourself get pulled into more 09er crap. There was no sadness in her voice. It was like she was just stating the facts and not turning Logans world upside down. She takes one last look around, making sure she has everything and then turns and leaves quietly. Logans head is spinning now, his stomach turning. Before he realizes it, hes running into the bathroom and emptying the contents of his stomach into the toilet. If he didnt know better, hed think he actually was drunk. This, though, feels much worse than had he actually been drinking. As he comes out of the bathroom, he downs the shot of Jack. He knows he's going to need it. He had a horrible time sleeping after everything hed heard. He cant understand why he is so bothered. Of course hes outraged over the rape. Youd have to be a monster not to be. But thats not all of it. There is something else he cant put his finger on...something more. Feedback here, please: Logan, My Knight in Drunken Armor Tuesday, my night to put the kids to bed, send the husband to the bedroom. Tuesday, my night to perch, anxiously awaiting the chime of 9:00. The calm, the excitement, the hour when all else fades and there is but one single focus. No jokes, no games, just the intense study of this thing we call LoVe.

Posts: 262 (03/08/07 23:22:35) More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Drunk Logan Chapter 4 A/N: So, this chapter focuses less on action and more on internal thoughts. Logan gets up early on Sunday since hes not sleeping anyway. He gets showered and dressed, his thoughts never straying far from the events of the previous night. After picking at the breakfast Mrs. Navarro made him, he decides he needs a distraction. He plays video games for a while, which he would normally spend hours doing. Today, only about 20 minutes before hes ready to crawl out of his skin. He tries watching t.v., surfing the web, checking his e-mail, even changing the settings on his cell phone. He leaves the inspirational greeting alone since he doesnt think that he can stand to record a new one. Not today. Hes even helped Mrs. Navarro by bringing his dirty clothes downstairs for her. Hes done so many things, gotten so much done, hes sure a good couple of hours must have passed by now. Looking at the clock he realizes that it has only been 30 minutes since he turned off his video game. Hes really frustrated now. Hes got to get out of this house. He picks up his keys, stuffs his wallet in his pocket and stalks out the door with an aire of determination. When he gets into his SUV and turns the key, it dawns on him. He has no idea where hes headed with such certainty. Ill just drive around for awhile. Mindless driving to loud music is always good. Logan nods his head, satisfied with his plan. He knows that he has spent the morning driving aimlessly just to clear his head, but his stomach starts to tighten again thinking back over his drive. If he were totally honest with himself, he would have to admit to a little more than coincidence as he recounts the locations hes seen during his drive. With no apparent purpose or direction, hes found himself driving by her apartment, Mars Investigations, and after a call for information, hes even driven by the house of a basketball-playing friend of the tiny blonde one. But, no, this is better. Now I can relax and enjoy the view of the ocean. The ocean has a way of always relaxing me. Logan thinks to himself. He likes to come here. Sometimes its surfing, sometimes beach volleyball with friends, sometimes its just staring out at the water and enjoying the smell of the ocean breeze. Of course, he hasnt left his SUV today. Not yet. He has been there for past hour and a half. Hes just been sitting, parked across the street from the beach. He tells himself that it has nothing to do with the fact that the elusive blonde one and her side kick are there, on the beach. It has nothing to do with the sight of her smiling and laughing, joking and playing around. No, the ocean, its the ocean. The ocean relaxes me. He repeats in his head like a mantra. Hes just watching the waves, not the tiny blond as she throws a tennis ball for her dog or as she wades into the water or is instructed on how to fly the airplane. He does notice one thing, she seems relaxed, almost carefree. The only way he sees her anymore is when shes wearing a hard facade, masking any real emotion. He had put so much thought into everything that had happened the night before and it was to the point now that the kiss was playing on a constant loop in his mind. He was just so confused by that kiss. Sometime between last night and now, he had given up on trying to ignore how good it felt. He had fought the idea for awhile based solely on the fact that it was a kiss shared with Veronica Mars. By definition, it couldnt have felt good. It couldnt have been hot and passionate and most of all safe and right. It was a situation without definition. Argh! Why did I even kiss her? What was I thinking? Logan was frustrated with himself for starting this all. Last night when he had kissed her, hed been too shocked by his own actions for his body to fully respond to what was happening. After she left, though, and throughout the day and with the constant movie playing in his head; he was continually having to fight his bodys physical response. I must have entered the Twilight Zone. I am actually fantasizing about one simple kiss with Veronica Mars. He was utterly perplexed. If he really thought about it, he would know exactly what brought them to that moment, him grabbing her arms and not wanting to let go as his lips crushed into hers. It wasnt just that the words she had spoken were kind, which they were for the most part. It was more that she had actually seen him, she knew the real him. As much time and effort as he had put into wearing a facade of indifference, she had seen through it. And, after seeing all that was him, the best and the worst, she still argued that he deserved someone who would treat him better than the long line of spreadable airheads hed been going through. Then, every time he felt like he was beginning to get a grip on the kiss, he would be blind-sided with thoughts of her accusation of rape. What do I do with that bit of information? I should do something, shouldnt I? But, what? I could try to talk to Veronica, but that would just be all kinds of weird and would open up the entire night for discussion. Plus, if shes never told anyone, she probably wouldnt be real excited to know that I know. I wouldnt even know where to start anyway. Every time he tried to come up with a solution, he would run into a brick wall. The more and more he thought about it, the more his head would spin and his stomach would tighten. He would get queasy and knew that he was going to have to deal with it at some point. Right now, it was just too much. He would just have to compartmentalize that piece of information for later. He felt weak. He felt like he was being weak because he was so unable to deal with what happened to her. He wasnt there when it happened, he hadnt known anything about it, she made it through and it had been several months since Shelleys party. Yet for some reason, he felt responsible, like he should have been there to protect her when she was still so innocent back then. Yes, he had hated her, but no one deserves that. Here he was having trouble grasping what had happened to her when she had been the one to actually go through it. Yes, he was weak, but he was determined to figure out a way to deal with it. Once he did, he would find a way to try to ease the hurt that she felt over what had happened. He had no idea how he was going to do that since last night had changed nothing, especially in her eyes. He wasnt even sure what he felt about her now. Sure, I want to help her because of the rape, but what about everything else? Do I still hate her? Did last night change anything else Ive felt for most of the last year? Could I forgive her for what she did to Lilly, Duncan and I? To Jake and Celeste (well, who cares about Celeste)? Even if I could, would she ever forgive me for everything else? Logan knew that it would be hard to see her at school the next day. He wasnt sure how he was going to act. _____________________________________ Like Logan, Veronica had not slept soundly after she left Logans house. When she got out of bed on Sunday and couldnt keep her mind from wandering to the previous nights events, she decided she needed a distraction. She picked up the phone and waited for the call to connect. Wally, buddy, hows it going? Veronica sang with a cheerful voice. Wally? Umm, Veronica, if you want me to answer, dont ever call me that again. Wallace said in a joking, but serious tone. Well, I thought that me cutting you down from the flagpole and saving your sorry butt from the PCHers gave me a certain amount of privilege when it came to nicknames. I guess not. Veronica teased him playfully. No, dont get me wrong, Supafly. Just, Wally? You gotta be kidding me, right? You could at least come up with something semi-flattering. He acted offended. What would you suggest? Oh, I dont know. Off the top of my head...what about Big Man, Big Dawg, Fennel The Great, Bitchin Baller, Adonis... Wallace is stopped by the incessant roaring of laughter coming from the other end of the line. Off the top of your head? Boy, Id hate to hear the list if you had time to really ponder it. But seriously, folks. I am in great need of your assistance today. What, you working a case? Need a little bit of MAN-power? Well, not exactly. I was thinking more along the lines of a day-o-fun. And, since you are my BFF and Ambassador of all that is fun, I called you first. So, what do ya got for me? And, make it good. Im counting on the awesomeness that is you, Big Boy. Veronica snickered as she finished his ego-stroking. Big Boy? I said Big MAN! Youre hopeless. Anyway, brace yourself...its gonna be good. How about, drum roll, please...a day at the beach, with the added benefit of flying my newest plane? He finished big. Huh....Hmm....I guess. Itll do on short notice. Veronica sounded dejected, but added a giggle at the end. Ill pick you up in half an hour. Veronica and Wallace spent the day taking Backup to Dog Beach and flying Wallaces remote-controlled airplane. Veronica was happy for the retreat after last nights events. When shes with Wallace, she can just enjoy the sun and the beach and be, well, carefree. She doesnt have to be so guarded. Definitely what she needs after her encounter with Logan and the other 09ers. Shes unsure of how tomorrow will go. Logan may not remember anything about the party or the afterparty in his bedroom; but if anyone saw him get into her car, hed hear about it. She would need to prepare for battle tomorrow morning before heading to school. But, today was about relaxing, resting up before the battle. Even with that perfect plan, she couldnt help but think about the events of the night before. She knew that the only reason she had told Logan all of that stuff was because he would never remember it. She never would have revealed all of that to him if hed been sober. She would never have given public enemy #1 more to taunt her with by telling him that he deserved better. Its fine, though, because he was drunk, beyond drunk, and will never remember anything about last night. She reminded herself. She hadnt lied to him last night, that she was sure about. He had been horrible to her in recent months and she hated him for it, but she had loved the boy he was before Lilly died. She knew that just as with her, when Lilly died, a part of him died, too. A part of him died, but not all of him. Sure he had become really angry and kind of turned against the world, especially her, but she kind of understood it. He hadnt had an easy time growing up in the spotlight. To the casual observer, his life may have been something to envy. With all of the time they had spent together over the years, she knew that it wasnt all it cracked up to be. He was constantly being watched and photographed. Any time he did anything stupid, it was photographed and reported on in the tabloid rags. Half of what was reported, wasnt even true, but still made him look bad. His relationship with his mom was pretty good, but she was rarely around. When she was, she was usually busy with getting ready for whatever event the family was due to attend or host. There was so little time spent just between Logan and her. His dad wasnt horrible, he was just too career-focused. He had turned his family into more of a publicity machine than anything else. Veronica figured that somewhere along the line, he just forgot how to do the family thing. The Echolls Family may have had great fame and riches, but Veronica had decided long ago that it came at a very high cost. She may not have had access to the best cars, designer clothes and vacations all over the world growing up, but until recently, she had truly had her mother and father. Now she only has her father, but she knows that she can count on him no matter what. She knows that she is the most important thing to her father. She doesnt know that Logan has ever had that. When he was born, his parents were new to the business and doing everything they could to get to where they are now. Its sad to think that he has never felt important to anyone, never had a true family. The closest he had come to a real family was the Fab Four. When that fell apart, his family fell apart. So, yes, he was the Obligatory Psychotic Jackass that she dealt with on a daily basis. She was sure, though, that deep down, he was also still that boy that shed loved. That boy that had lost his family when Lilly died and Veronica chose to support her father and Duncan became a shell of his former self. She knows that it will be difficult seeing him at school. He may not remember last night, but she sure does. In fact, most of her Sunday has been spent thinking less about what shed said to him and more about that kiss. When it happened she was too shocked to do anything, but get out of the situation. What has astonished her even more since it happened is her reaction now to the event. Each time she has thought about it, her reaction has grown stronger. It started with intrigue, then an unexplained small smile graced her face, next the tiniest tingle in her stomach. In the last couple of hours, she has actually caught herself wondering what would have happened had she not pushed him away. She knows its crazy. He wasnt in his right mind. There is no way he would ever willingly kiss her. He hates her and would torture her endlessly if he knew what had happened and what she was thinking about it. She knows her reaction to the kiss is purely physical. Lilly had told her countless times how talented Logan was at kissing...and other things, but she had a proclivity to exaggerate. That kiss last night, though, was scandalously good. Feedback, please....did I ramble too much? LoVe is impossible without Logan Tuesday, my night to put the kids to bed, send the husband to the bedroom. Tuesday, my night to perch, anxiously awaiting the chime of 9:00. The calm, the excitement, the hour when all else fades and there is but one single focus. No jokes, no games, just the intense study of this thing we call LoVe.

The last chapter Wallace and Veronica were already to the BFF stage. In the actual show, that didnt happen this early. Oh, well...just go with it. Thanks for the feedback, hopefully this story will help answer some of the questions. Also, there is a scene that comes from the show. You'll know it. As she gets out of her car and walks toward the doors of the school, she is disappointed to see the ugly yellow monstrosity he calls a car already in the lot. She stiffens and slips on her mask. Prepared for the insults, the innuedos about what may have happened when she drove Logan home and the love notes she was sure were gracing her locker door. Veronica opens the main door and walks into the foyer. She looks straight ahead, bound and determined to not pay attention to anyone as she makes a beeline for her locker. All she has to do is get the books she needs for her morning classes and then she can sneak back here during lunch when she is sure everyone is busying themselves in the quad. She gets to her locker without anyone taunting her and there are no love notes. She knows, though, she can feel his eyes on her. She quickly collects her books as she waits for him to pounce. She closes her locker door and turns to leave. She is stopped momentarily when she hears it. This is what shes been expecting...only its not Logans voice. Dicks voice is louder than normal when he asks Logan how his ride home was after the party. Was it long and slow or hard and fast? Did Veronica show you her backseat? Hes laughing his obnoxious laugh now. Yeah, Dude. Up high, Man. She sees Logan look at her for just a moment and watches an odd expression cross his face. She starts walking away, but internally is waiting for his response. She doesnt hear one and is shocked by what comes next. Dicks voice again. Dude, where you going? Dont leave me hangin. Veronica turns in time to see Logan walking away, head down, from the group of guys he calls his friends. Shes completely perplexed by his lack of response to Dicks taunting. Normally he wouldnt pass up an opportunity to get in on some Veronica Mars harassment. Shes so deep in thought about Logan that she isnt paying attention to where shes going. The next thing she knows, shes running smack into the back of one Troy Vandergraff. Umph! He grunts as he turns around to look at her. When he sees her, his mouth forms into a little smirk. Troy had been hitting on her practically since his first day at Neptune High. She hadnt been ready for that, any of it. She hadnt been ready to start dating again. Not only that, but he was an 09er. She hadnt been sure she could trust him and she knew she didnt want any more contact with the 09ers than necessary. Even with her reservations, she couldnt help but notice how good-looking he was. Oh, sorry, Troy. She mumbles. Shes not sure what rumors hes heard already this morning. There is no need for sorry. Anytime a gorgeous blonde wants to make body contact with me, well lets just say, its alright with me. Remember that. Troy cocks his head, raises an eyebrow and winks. He has the slightest smile on his face. Veronica could take offense to his semi-lewd comment, but the look on his face shows her his playful intentions. She smiles back and decides that maybe shes found the perfect distraction in Troy. After all, she was hoping to stop her constant thoughts of Logan and the incident. That is how she has decided to refer to it from now on, not as the kiss, only as the incident. As he turns to leave, she takes a chance, Lets go out. Finally, the girl comes to her senses. The look on his face is hilarious. They make plans to go out to dinner, and theyre both looking forward to it. (A/N: In case you didn't recognize it, that's the part taken from show). Troys happy that all of his efforts to woo her are finally paying off. Hed started to give up. Veronica is relieved that she feels like shes taking a step forward. Shed been stuck for so long, living in the past. Shed been mourning the loss of Lilly, regretting her 09er status, agonizing over Duncans decision to break up with her without even telling her, avoiding thoughts of Shellys party and missing her mom and her old life. Shed been reminded daily of the events leading up to and following her decision to stick by her father when he went after the Kanes. She wasnt even sure what was true anymore. Now, though, she feels like shes really making progress. With renewed confidence and a smile on her face, she continues onto her next class. She has forgotten all about Logan and the incident for the moment. _____________________________ Logan decided to go to school early on Monday. He still wasnt sure what hed do when he saw her. Sunday had ushered in another sleepless night for him, and he still hadnt come up with a plan. As he entered the parking lot, he searched for her car, but didnt find it. He grabbed his books and rushed into the school. After replacing his books with the ones hed need for his morning classes, he shut his locker and turned to leave. He was stopped when Dick, Beaver, Sean and Enbom walked up to him. They were laughing and talking wildly about Saturday nights party. A party is always more exciting when the cops break it up. None of them noticed that Logan was looking around and fidgeting with his sleeve. He wanted to escape before Veronica entered the school. Unfortunately their lockers were in the same hall. He was about to make any excuse he could to just get out of there, when he saw Veronica out of the corner of his eye. He was stuck. If he left then, hed have to walk right past her. At least if he stayed with his friends, he wouldnt have to deal with her just yet. He decided to ignore her and concentrate on what his friends were saying. Just as Veronica was about to leave, Logan heard Dick speak up. He asked Logan about the ride home. He was taunting Veronica, which drew Logans attention to her. Oh, Geez. Logan muttered under his breath as his eyes traveled down her body. She was dressed in a yellow halter top with a short jean skirt and calf-high boots. Logans mouth went totally dry and his body started to react to the sight in front of him and the memory of her lips. He imagined himself kissing down her neck to where her black choker was wrapped around her throat. He knew that Dick was taunting her and trying to get him to join in. Normally he wouldve loved it. In fact, usually he would have beaten Dick to the punch. Ive gotta get out of here before I really embarrass myself. Logan ducked his head and blushed as he put his books in front of him and walked away. As he left, he heard Dicks voice, Dude, where you going? Dont leave me hangin. Logan didnt stop until he turned the corner. Once he was sure everyone had gone about their business, he looked back down the hall just in time to see Veronica collide with that Troy kid. He watched them as Troy smiled and winked at her while they talked. Her back was to him, but it was obvious to Logan that they were flirting and it irritated him. He hated admitting it to himself, but he knew this feeling. It was jealousy. Hed have to be stupid to not know that he was jealous. It was a known fact that Logan had a jealous streak, he used to show it all the time with Lilly. Veronica, though, wasnt his girlfriend, she wasnt even his friend anymore. He just didnt know why he was jealous or what to do about it. Why am I jealous over Veronica? Sure, I used to adore her, although she was too sweet for me. I would have broken her back then. I can admit, too, that she used to be pretty. Now, since she cut her hair and changed her clothes and her attitude, shes totally hot. Does that mean that I have feelings for her, though? I mean, I hate Veronica Mars! In what twisted world would I have real feelings for her? She betrayed us, remember that, Logan. He reminds himself. I must just be horny and lonely right now. This will pass. Logans mind was racing trying to wrap itself around this situation. He turned to go to his first class, determined that there would be no more thoughts of Veronica. He was lucky he wouldnt have to deal with her until lunch. ____________________________________ The rest of the morning went as planned. Veronica was able to avoid Logan and the rest of them by going straight to her classes. At lunch, she looked out into the quad and was able to relax a little after seeing the 09ers at their table. She went to her locker and replaced her morning books with the books for her afternoon classes. Dread set in, though, as she headed toward her next class. She had Journalism 4th period with none other than Logan Echolls. She decided to just eat her lunch in the empty classroom so she wouldnt have any premature run-ins with anyone. Meanwhile, Logan is sitting at his normal lunch table with the normal people surrounding him, talking about all of the stuff they always talk about...surfing, shopping, rumors and parties. Hes not really listening, though. Hes too busy, too focused. Hes continually scanning the quad, looking over at the empty table across the quad, looking at the doors that lead into the quad. Where is she? Not that I care. He tells himself. Of course, it is strange that the first day back to school since the party and shes nowhere around. I wonder if shes avoiding me. Logan actually thinks its kind of funny if she is. Here we are avoiding each other over something that only one of us should be aware happened. Ive got something to do. Ill catch you guys later. Logan tells his buddies as he gets up to leave. See ya. Later, Dude. So much for getting her out of my mind! Here I am actually seeking her out. What am I doing? Logan shakes his head and just allows his feet to keep propelling him forward, in search of Veronica Mars.' Feedback, please, I've left a question regarding Duncan's character development in the feedback thread. If you care to have an input, you must enter: Me Loves Me Some Logan Tuesday, my night to put the kids to bed, send the husband to the bedroom. Tuesday, my night to perch, anxiously awaiting the chime of 9:00. The calm, the excitement, the hour when all else fades and there is but one single focus.

Posts: 262 (03/12/07 10:49:48) More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Drunk Logan Chapter 6 A/N: I hope that you enjoy this update. If you can picture it happening, then it's pretty funny. I'm not sure that my writing did it justice, though. In case you haven't noticed, I feel that pretty much all scenes should be LoVe scenes. It's more of a deeply held belief than anything else. Any scenes that do not involve both V and L, should serve only to further their storyline. hee hee ------- Logan had looked everywhere for Veronica. Unsuccessful, he decided to just go to the Journalism room and wait for class to start. He entered the room and stopped dead in his tracks. The room was completely empty save one elusive petite blonde. She was sitting with her back to him, working on her computer. One of her feet was propped up on the base of the chair next to her which made her mini-skirt ride up her thigh just a bit more. Logans mouth began to water. She had not turned around yet and he stood there for a moment wondering what he should do. He slowly walked over to her. Hey, Veronica. He didnt recognize the tremble in his own voice. Veronica didnt turn around and didnt respond to him. Veronica, come on, you dont have to ignore me. Logan prodded. When she still didnt respond, he noticed that her propped up leg was bouncing. Looking closer, he saw the wires from her MP3 player. She cant hear me. Oh, good. I thought this was going to be really hard if she was going to completely ignore me. He slowly reached out his hand to tap her on the shoulder. When his hand was just a couple of inches away, she turned around and moved to get up. The movement was so quick that Logan didnt have a chance to move completely out of her way. When Veronicas face came into contact with a hand, it scared the crap out of her. She yelled and flew back trying to get away from whoever was in her personal space. Unfortunately, she forgot there was a chair behind her. She was in an awkward not-quite-standing position on shaky legs so when the backs of her knees hit the chair, she went falling backward. There was no grace or control to the act at all. In the split second before she fell, she saw Logan lunging after her, grabbing her waist trying to save her from the fall. Because of his off balance position when lunging for her; instead of catching her before she hit the ground on the other side of the chair, her body weight ended up pulling him with her. With them, came the chair tumbling to the ground loudly. Luckily Logan was able to think fast enough to slip his hands from her waist and up her back to rest behind her head. Unluckily, when they hit the floor, their heads smacked into each other. Ow, oh, ooowww!! Veronica half yelled, half growled as she grabbed her aching head. Logan closed his eyes, grabbed his head with one of his hands and sucked in a hard breath. After about 30 seconds of trying to soothe what would surely be huge bruises on their heads, they realized the position they were in. He was on top of her, his arms wrapped behind her back, one hand cradling her head softly. The other had been moved from her head and was now grasping at his head, but his arm was still wrapped under her arm from its previous position. His head was just slightly above hers and their upper torsos were completely pressed together. They were both breathing hard and Logan could feel her chest moving beneath his. Logan! Get off of me! Veronica started to squirm and tried to push herself up by her legs which were still hanging on the side of the fallen chair. Bad idea. She thought to herself as she ground into his crotch. She blushed immediately as she realized that he was a little hard. When she looked down, her face turned the color of a tomato. Logans groin had come to rest right between her legs; the action forcing her skirt all the way up to her hips. She was so glad no one else was in the room. She would have been flashing everyone. Dang miniskirt. At least Logan cant see anything from his position....ON TOP OF ME!! Oh no, Ive got to get him off of me now! Veronica was dying of embarrassment over the entire situation and just praying that no one would walk in before they were upright. She knew that this scene would only serve to solidify her current reputation as school slut. Meanwhile, Logan was frozen. He couldnt believe it. His mind was screaming for him to say something, do something, get off of her. He heard her yell for him to get off of her, but her voice disappeared from his head as soon as he felt her squirm below him. He could tell by the blush on her face that she had felt his reaction to the closeness of their bodies. If he were honest with himself, his body had started responding to her the minute he walked into the Journalism room. Being this close to her, feeling her breath on his face, the fast rise and fall of her chest and now her attempt to push him off, didnt help the problem he was having. He knew that he was going to be getting off soon, one way or the other. He preferred to extract himself from her and avoid all of the humiliation. Now, Logan wasnt very bashful normally. Any other time, he would have taken full advantage of the situation and made some sort of sexual innuendo while smirking and waggling his eyebrows. This, however, was not any other situation. This was Veronica Mars and he just wanted to get away from her. Unfortunately, Logans legs were also caught up on the chair, arching his body into hers. If he had fallen by himself, he couldve just plopped onto the ground and rolled himself over. Because he fell with her, it would only serve to hurt her if he used her to maneuver himself up. After they both struggled for a couple of minutes trying to get their bodies out of the awkward positions they were in, Logan suddenly let his body slump and his head fall to the side. Logan, what are you doing? Veronica sounded a little frantic. Logan released a long breath, knowing that this was not going well. Look, Veronica. This isnt working. Why dont I push up on my arms and you can slide out from under me. Then, I can get up without crawling on you. He looked into her eyes and awaited her answer. Yeah, I guess thatll work. You ready? Logan asked. At her nod, he carefully pushed himself up on his hands. Quick, Ronnie, this is killing my shins. He was so focused on the pain in his shins and keeping himself up, that he didnt notice the look she shot him. It was almost one of longing mixed with confusion. It had been so long since Logan had called her Ronnie without intending it as a slur. He used to call her that all the time when they were friends. It was his special name for her, not even Lilly and Duncan tried to use it. She used to love to hear it. It used to make her feel protected and cared for by Logan. With everything that Veronica had been through in the last year, she was sure she didnt need protecting anymore. That was for the weak, dependent, the soft Veronica I used to be. I dont need anyone to make me feel protected anymore. I can take care of myself. If all else fails, Ive got Back-up and my trusty friend, Taser. Veronica figured it was a slip of tongue on Logans part. Hes probably so flustered, he doesnt even know he said it. Veronica had to scoot on her back away from Logan. She was trying to move quickly, but with trying not to knock into his arms and with her legs still being caught on the chair, it was going slower than either would have liked. Logan was shaking a bit from the odd angle and the intense pain of the side of the chair cutting into his shins. He closed his eyes so that he didnt have to watch her breasts move from side to side as she arched her back and wiggled out from under him. To his chagrin, he opened his eyes just in time to see her lacy panties right in front of him. Although her movements had started to return her skirt to its proper place, he could still see way too much for his liking. Yeah, this is really gonna help me calm down and get Veronica out of my head! If there is a God in heaven, please make this stop! Logan thought as he gulped hard. Finally, she was out and he collapsed onto the ground with a grunt. He rolled himself over and just laid his arm over his eyes while he tried to catch his breath. Logan, are you okay? Veronica asked timidly. Usually, theyd be trading barbs, but this was so far from usual for them. Logan chuckled a little and released a huff of air. Yeah. Are you? He sat up and began to look her over a bit. You fell pretty hard. Veronica was taken aback by his concern. It seemed totally genuine, but she knew she couldnt let her guard down with him. Im alright. A little sore, Ill probably have bruises in places I didnt even know existed, but Ill be fine. Veronica said trying to lighten the mood. Then, she remembered what started it all. He had been right behind her when she tried to stand from her seat. Did you need something? She asked him as she stood and started dusting herself off. Logan followed her lead. Huh? Logan had no idea what she was talking about. In his most recent dreams of her, when she asked if he needed something, he'd always had an answer. He was pretty sure his answer wasnt what she was looking for with her question. Before all of this, she motioned to the chair and the floor, you were standing behind me. Were you needing something? Uh, oh yeah. Well, I, er, I just wanted to say thanks. Logan fumbled his words all over the place. Thanks? Thanks for what? She looked at him like he had just escaped from the nearest mental facility. She couldnt remember the last time Logan thanked her for anything. It must be some cruel joke. She told herself. Well, I know you gave me a ride home on Saturday night and th-that the cops had shown up. I couldve gotten into a lot of trouble, so thanks. He finished lamely. Okay, kill me now. Veronica looked at him long and hard for a moment waiting for the punch line. When none came, she softened a little. Youre welcome. She whispered as she looked at her feet. Just then, they were interrupted by the bell ringing and kids filing into the room. Logan quickly righted the chair and went to work at the table in the center of the room. Class began and they were able to effectively ignore each other until the Navigator News came on the television. ...the dedication of the Lilly Kane memorial fountain. The Kane Family would like to invite all students and faculty to attend the tribute and celebrate the memory of one of Neptune Highs most beloved students.... Logan and Veronica couldnt help, but look at each other. After Lilly died, the school mourned. She was after all, the Queen of Neptune High. Everyone knew who Lilly Kane was, but very few people truly knew Lilly. She really only let three people into her life; Duncan, Logan and Veronica. For everyone else, she put on a show. She entertained her masses and they, in turn, served as her entertainment. Her name was rarely mentioned, but when it was, there was an automatic need to be near someone who knew her as well as they did. Veronica and Logan knew that no matter what they had been through in the last year, they had both truly loved and lost her. They each had a Lilly-sized hole missing from their hearts and their lives. You just cant share that kind of loss with anyone who isnt feeling it in the same way. ____________________________ (A/N: Taken from the show) That night, Veronica went to dinner with Troy. They had a great time, talking and laughing and flirting. Veronica felt great, better than she had in a long time. After dinner they stood by her car talking and then Troy bent down for a kiss. Veronica flinched, not because she hadnt wanted to kiss Troy, nor was she surprised by his attempt. She flinched because as soon as she realized what he was doing, a vision of Logans face inches from hers popped into her head. Troy backed off and gave her an awkward hand shake. He opened her car door for her and said goodnight before going to his car. Veronica watched him go. Veronica was laying on her bed that night thinking about what had happened on her date. Brain, check. Dead sexy, check. Devilish charm, check. Formidable scrabble opponent...who cares. Whats wrong with you, Veronica? What are you waiting for? And why in the world would you picture Logans face? She hugged her pillow and shook her head in disbelief. Feedback here, please. In case you didn't see it before, there is a question regarding Duncan's character development in the feedback thread. If you care, then: Enter...Enter...Enter Tuesday, my night to put the kids to bed, send the husband to the bedroom. Tuesday, my night to perch, anxiously awaiting the chime of 9:00.

Posts: 262 (03/13/07 15:22:36) More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Drunk Logan Chapter 7 A/N: Thank you so much for the feedback. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I now understand why people beg for it so much. Feedback is my crack! Anyway, this one is a bit longer, but it may be a couple of days before the next chapter is up. I know what it is going to be about, but I don't have it written yet. Veronica was in the school bathroom meeting with Lexi. She was updating her on Jacks behavior at Saturday nights party. Lexi, look Im not saying that he hasnt cheated on you or isnt currently. All Im telling you is that you wanted me to go to the party and watch him when he thought that you were out of town all weekend. I did...and he didnt misbehave at all. He had fun, he danced and talked to people, but nothing more. Now, I am willing to keep watching him, but Im not sure that Ill find anything. Its up to you. Personally, I thought youd be happy to hear of Jacks fidelity. Veronica said resolutely. Lexi looked at her for a moment, Let me think about it. Ill watch how he acts around me for awhile and then get back to you if Im still suspicious. Heres $200.00 for your time. Thanks, Veronica. ________________________________________________ (A/N: Most of these next scenes are taken from the show.) What are you doing? Logan asked as he walked up to Duncan, who was standing in front of his open locker organizing a bunch of video tapes. Oh, my mother thought it would be nice to have a video tribute of Lilly for the dedication ceremony. Logan could tell that Duncan was having a hard time with this. And she wanted you to do it? No, my dad did...wanted someone who knew her. You want me to do it, man. You know Im awesome at this stuff. Come on let me do it, I wanna do it. Thanks man. Duncan looked truly relieved. Yeah. _________________________________________ After school, Veronica ran up to Troy in the hall. She had gone over and over the failed kiss in her mind. What really bugged her though, was the fact that every time she thought of it, her mind always ended up on Logan and the kiss they had shared. She had to figure out a way to get Logan and that kiss out of her mind. What better way to do it than to replace that memory with another? Veronica had told herself. Wait up. Troy lets her catch up to him. Dont run Veronica, people might think youre desperate. That would be a step up, reputation wise. She tries to lighten the mood. I guess that all depends on who youre asking. He responds pointedly. Okay, light joke flew over like a lead balloon...must go for the direct approach. I think I might have given you the wrong impression. I had a really great time. I just... Veronica didnt quite know how to say what she wanted to say. Troy picked up where shed left off, Its just that you need more...and you get to fill in the blank here. A, time, B, space.... She stops him as she lunges at him with a kiss which he greedily participates in. They are making out pretty good when something catches Veronicas attention. It is a laugh she knows very well. She steps back from Troy enough to look into the A/V room they are standing by. She can see Logan in front of a computer monitor and scenes of Lilly flashing on the screen. Troy, can I call you later? Theres something Ive got to do. Shes not quite looking at him. Now? He wimpers in disbelief. He finally got to kiss her and now she wants to just walk away. You started this. He jokes with her. I know, Im sorry. Ill make it up to you later, okay? Upon his nod, she gives him a quick peck on the cheek and walks into the A/V room. _______________________________________ Logan had heard Veronicas voice as soon as shed spoken to Troy. Then, he listened as she apologized to him and finally kissed him. He had even turned to look at them for a moment, but then returned his attention to the computer screen before being seen. When she walked in, he had been expecting her. Hed actually turned up the volume on the video clips of Lilly and knew that the sound of her laughter would draw Veronicas attention. Although their last encounter had been an odd one, to say the least, he was compelled to do anything to stop her and Troys kiss. Short of stomping over and ripping them away from each other, this had been his best option. He didnt know why he hated the idea of them kissing so much. I just dont trust the guy. He seems off to me, like hes got ulterior motives. Although, would I really feel any better if she were kissing anyone else? Dont kid yourself, Logan. Of course not. Argh!!!!! What are you doing? She asked him as she stared in awe at the scenes of Lilly. Assembling the worlds most boring memorial video. Ballet, choir recital, debutante crap, Girl Scouts. Memories both misty and water-colored. Its Lilly as a long distance commercial. Well, it isnt really about Lilly, is it? Logan responded. God, this would piss her off. After a moment more, Veronica began to feel uncomfortable being in such an emotionally intimate moment with Logan. She started to leave when his voice stopped her. Veronica, could you help me out? When she didnt answer him immediately, he continued. I mean, do you think you could look through your stuff for any video of her. If anyone would have anything that showed the real her, it would be you. Yeah, sure, Ill look through my stuff. She gives him a reassuring smile and nod, then leaves. _________________________ The following day Veronica walked into the A/V room after school. Hey. Veronica said quietly as she entered the room. Hey. Veronica could hear the raspiness in his voice. He hadnt turned around and she noticed him discreetly wiping tears away. I, um, you were right. I found a tape that shows more of who Lilly really was. Thanks. You can just put it on the desk. Logan, are you okay? Veronica asked hesitantly. Yeah, just a lot of footage. Logan was almost whispering. With as much as Logan had put Veronica through, hearing him sound so broken was killing her. Maybe it was because she knew how hard it must be for him to relive so many memories of Lilly. At that moment, she made a decision that went against every logical thought in her head. Well, guess its a good thing Im here then. She announced loudly and soundly. Huh? Logan finally turned and looked at her. Well, two of us will work faster than one. She said with as much enthusiasm as she could muster as she placed her bag on the floor. Plus, I came armed with a video of Lilly thatll make Celeste want to get a tattoo and share a cell with a lifer named Bertha. Logan chuckled and sniffed a bit. So, where do I start? She added as she pulled out the seat next to him. Logan was completely startled by Veronicas actions. Hed been drawn to her lately, whether it was because he liked her or just felt the need to protect her, he didnt know. He was a little nervous about having her around. For one thing, right before she had walked in, hed been crying like a baby. He didnt really want to break down in front of her. Yet, having her so near to him, he felt like he was gaining strength from her presence. Logan? Veronica was getting nervous now. Logan hadnt responded to her at all, he had just stared into her face with a blank look. Uh, yeah, uh, sorry. Logan mumbled. Here, start on this stack. Im still working on the footage and still pictures Duncan has on his laptop. They spent the next 3 hours sifting through clips. The first hour was uneasy and deadly quiet, but then they started to talk about the images they were seeing. They began laughing and reminiscing about other times they had spent with her. Logan told Veronica about the time Lilly had convinced him to have sex with her in a confessional. Not that he was religious, but he had been waiting for a bolt of lightning to strike him down. Veronica laughed so hard; she didnt have to try hard to believe it. That sounded exactly like something Lilly would do. Yeah, well, you know how she was always trying to get back at Celeste, whether Celeste knew it or not? At Logans nod, Veronica continued. She once made me go shopping with her to buy Celeste a drawer full of crotch-less underwear and all sorts of kinky sex toys to go with them. Logans laughter was roaring out of him. I would have loved to have seen that! No, no, thats not even the bad part. Veronica grabbed Logans hand to get his attention. She, then persuaded me to write a note to her in Jakes writing. She had me put all this stuff in there about his ultimate fantasy and that this stuff would complete what was missing in their marriage. Then, she distracted Celeste, while I changed out her underwear drawer. Lilly burned all of her underwear. Logan was laughing so hard at this point that no sound was actually coming out of him and he had tears flowing down his face. I always imagined her face the next morning as she went through her drawer for a change of underwear. I wonder if she tried it on for Jake or if she sent one of the staff out to buy her new underwear. The really funny thing is that Celeste never said anything to us about it. It would be too funny if she thought that Jake actually had put that note there. Who knows, maybe shes wearing crotch-less underwear to this day. Oh, man! Why did I have to miss out on that one? I totally would have helped you. Logan said while shaking his head in regret. You did help us. What? What are you talking about. I didnt even know about it. Youre right, but Lilly had arranged for you and Duncan to go somewhere so that, in Lillys words, Duncan didnt have a chance to be the stand-up guy he is and save the day for Celeste. She figured he wouldve tried to talk her out of it. Not that she would have listened; she just didnt feel like dealing with it when she knew shed do it anyway. Plus, if hed know, his conscience would have gotten the better of him and Jake and Celeste would have seen the guilt written all over his face. Veronica was giggling as she spoke. Oh, man. Logan was trying to catch his breath. Lilly was an evil genius. He looked down and saw that her had was still sitting on top of his. He couldnt help but notice how comfortable it felt and how soft her hand was. Veronica noticed him staring into his lap and glanced down. She jumped slightly and quickly returned her hands to the computer, forwarding to the next image. Logans chest actually hurt when she took her hand away so abruptly. He knew why she did it and he would have done the same had he been her. It still hurt, though. He was surprised at the fact that hed felt an actual physical reaction in his chest. It was the weirdest thing hed ever felt. They ignored the huge elephant in the room and continued looking through the clips. They had long given up on trying to look at separate clips. They both wanted to see what each other was looking at, so they just went through them together. They continued to share stories, some of all four of them and some of just Lilly. They talked about how she always got her way. Not only was she convincing, she was extremely persistent. Yeah, she would just nag and nag and nag until you didnt have the strength to fight her anymore. Logan remembered so many times he would give her anything just to make her stop. Tell me about it. I still remember how much she bugged me to go out with you. Logan perked up. What? Why would she do that? Veronica had his complete and utter interest at that moment. Oh, its no big deal, it was before you and her started dating. Its not like she was trying to share you with me or pawn you off or something. She knew I had the biggest crush on you and she wouldnt leave it alone. She was a pest. Veronica said, then looked back toward the computer, assuming the conversation was over. Logans head was spinning. Although he knew it was going to be a mistake, he couldnt let this go. Why did you go out with Duncan? He asked her, perplexed her decision. What? Why did you go out with Duncan if you liked me? Logan was looking right into her eyes and she could feel the intensity of his stare travel up her spine. Because, I knew I didnt have a chance. I knew youd never like me like that, especially not when my competition was The Great Lilly Kane. Veronica smiled at the thought of how amazing her best friend had been. Duncan was nice and, by going out with him, I knew I wouldnt be competing with Lil. Veronica shrugged. She was beginning to feel uneasy with the fact that she had opened herself up so much to her biggest tormentor. Sure, it was years ago, but he could still find a way to use it against her. It must be all of the nostalgia. I forgot reality for a moment there. I wonder how long it will take for Logan to snap out of his civil streak and try to maim me with this information. Veronicas thoughts were interrupted by Logans voice. He spoke so softly at first. Youre wrong, you know. Logan let out a long sigh. I was totally in to you. I didnt start taking an interest in Lilly until you and Duncan were together for a good month or two. He glanced at her and saw her staring back with her mouth open in surprise. They both sat there starting at each other, waiting to see what would happen next. Wha- Veronica started to speak, but was interrupted by the ring of her cell phone. She fumbled in her bag before finding and answering the phone. She had been so frazzled by Logans admission that she didnt even look at the caller id. Hey, Beautiful. You hungry? Troy sounded so smooth. Hey, Troy. Veronica had to clear her throat since it had gone totally dry at Logans last words. Would he really have picked me over Lilly? She was so wrapped up in her conversation and her thoughts that she didnt see the panicked look on Logans face. He didnt want any interruptions right now. He really wanted to see how his and Veronicas conversation would finish. So, I was thinking about a little dinner and then, you could start making up for cutting short our make-out earlier. What do you say? Pick you up at 7? Snap out of it, Veronica. That was years ago. Its not like it matters now anyway. Veronica kicked herself for the excitement she had felt just a moment earlier and turned her thoughts back to Troy. Yeah, that sounds great. Ill see you then. Logans expression turned to one of disappointment as he heard her making plans with Troy. Veronica ended her call and looked at Logan. Um, so, Ive got to go. Do you want to meet back here tomorrow after school to finish this up? We can move onto the fun part and really show Neptune why Lilly was the life of the party! Veronica tried her best to cover the letdown she was feeling at ending the work party for the evening. Yeah, that sounds good. We can just leave all of this here. The room is reserved for this project all week. No one else will be in here. Logan wasnt happy that she was leaving him and going out with Troy, but he knew he was being ridiculous. Great, then Ill see you tomorrow? She gathered up her bag and stood to leave. Yeah, see you tomorrow. Logan watched as she walked out. When she was out of sight, he sat back in his chair, kicked out a leg and clasped his hands together behind his head. He thought of the 3 hours that they had spent together and how comfortable they had been. They had laughed and really talked to each other. It had been so long since theyd had a real conversation, but now they had just spent 2 of the last 3 hours doing just that. They had been able to relax with each other. He doesnt remember the last time they had done that. Even before he had started tormenting her, they had been dealing with Lillys death together. Most of the time theyd spent together had not been relaxed. _______________________________ Veronica and Troy had gone out to dinner, and like their first dinner, they had a great time. Once theyd gotten through that first kiss in the hallway at school, they were much more comfortable with kissing each other. In fact, they stood outside the door to her apartment and tried to say goodbye between kisses. They finally separated and he started to walk away until he stopped himself and looked back at her. You know, if we were the kind of people who attended school functions, this would probably be the time Id ask you. He gave her a coy smile which she returned it with one of her own as she let herself into her apartment. She laid down on her bed, happy to have a reprieve from the thoughts of Logan that had been crowding her mind since the prior Saturday night.

Posts: 262 (03/14/07 20:51:45) More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Drunk Logan Chapter 8 A/N: Parts of this come from the show. Okay, this fic may never end. I had an outline for this chapter, but ended up adding so much to it that I had to break it into two chapters and Im still not done with what I thought it would cover. Let me know if Im adding too much extra stuff. At the rate Im going, this may be a 30 chapter fic. A/N 2: Where are all the real authors? Anyway, thanks! ______________________________ My dad wants to meet you. Veronica told Troy very cautiously. Thats cool. So, Ill pick you up at the door, I mean, I cant do the beep and wave, but thats no problem. Uh, My dads a little...intense. Veronica didnt know quite how to explain to him what to expect from her father. Dont worry. I give good parent. Troy responded without a care in the world. ...and just so I can make the appropriate arrangements, Homecomings a go, right? Yeah, yeah. Itll be fun. She shouldve been more excited. How, though, do you get excited about going to Homecoming when the last one you went to was spent with your best friend shortly before she died? To top it off, not only would she be attending a very emotional memorial for her best friend, but Veronica was spending the better part of the week ensconced in video memories of her. Veronica felt like she was just holding on to her sanity. She felt like if she could just get through this week and have everything go back to normal, shed be okay. On the other hand, she didnt want this week to end...ever. Not that she needed reminders of Lilly, but she almost felt like Lilly was with them again. Reminders of Lilly were everywhere right now. It was so emotionally exhausting, but so wonderful, too. She was terrified that when it was over and all the attention was off of Lilly, she would feel like she was losing her all over again. Veronica didnt want to go through that loss a second time. She also felt that, because the one-year anniversary was coming, people (and maybe herself) would expect her to have moved past Lilly. Like, okay Veronica, youve had a year to get over it. Youve had a year to mourn and miss your best friend and to move on. She was no where near ready for that. She couldnt let Lilly go and she knew that something wasnt right about the way her murder was solved. Whether her father was right about Jake Kane or not, she didnt know. She just knew that something was off. _____________________________________ Logan had been standing at his locker when he saw Troy and Veronica walking down the hall toward hers. He heard their conversation and felt a pang when he heard about their Homecoming plans. Although, he knew it wasnt logical, he was a little irritated with Veronica. She was making plans for Homecoming and would be replacing the memories that the Fab Four had made the year before. Even though he knew that she had lost the most since Lillys death, whether by choice or not, it felt like she was moving on from Lilly. Logan had decided to abstain from attending Homecoming this year. He had plans to have a limo take him to the beach where he would spend his time walking along the shore with a bottle of champagne. It was the closest he could come to the last Homecoming. He was even going to wear a tux. He knew it was stupid and sentimental and a total girl move, but he didnt care. Its not like he was broadcasting his plans, he hadnt told anyone. This was just for him. He slammed his locker shut and headed toward the quad. He was lost in frustrated thoughts, when he harshly pushed open the door to the quad. It swung open so fast that it hit something in its path, er, someone in its path. Logan heard someone say, Whoa, watch it. Then, returning to a phone call, proceeded to ignore Logans further presence. That is when Logan heard the boy making reservations at the Four Seasons for Homecoming night. Red flags started flying and sirens started blaring. Logan was instantly ticked. He had found out less than a week earlier that Veronica was, in fact, no longer a virgin; and not by her own choice. Now, Troy was sitting there making plans to get into her pants. All of the feelings of guilt Logan had after hearing Veronicas confession regarding the rape were resurfacing. He felt like he needed to make sure she was safe. Without thinking anything further, he went into protect mode. Number 1 Mission: Protect Veronica Number 1 Enemy: One Troy Vandergraff. Although Logan was still through-the-roof mad at Troy, he got a little evil smirk on his face. Oh, this wont only be fun, its gonna be ea
