Prologue

It's been nine years since I left Neptune, California. I dropped out of college at the end of my freshman year after losing the only person who still cared enough about to me encourage me and hold me to a high standard. After I left Neptune, I drifted around the world visiting all of my parent's old houses; I even found Duncan Kane, my old best friend, in Australia. His daughter, the second Lilly Kane, is the perfect mix of her Aunt, the first daring, wild Lilly Kane, and her mother, the shy, sweet Meg Manning. I stayed with Duncan and Lilly for two years. It was there that I found someone to encourage me again, though Josie Piznarski is a sister to me instead of a lover. No one could ever completely take Veronica's place, but Josie sure did a wonderful job getting me back on track with a productive life. She got me to finally leave Duncan and Lilly and start writing screenplays. We stayed in Italy while I wrote my first screenplay: the story of Lilly Kane's murder and the after shocks. It took me a year to write the play and it took Josie another three years and two screenplays that were almost top selling movies to get me to finally give my first screenplay to a director. It took her a year and a half to track down all the people involved and get them to sign off on their stories being used. Those she couldn't find or had passed had family sign off. If they or their family refused to sign off, I had to change their names. By the time it finally started being filmed, I was contacted by Dick about our ten year high school reunion.

"LOGAN!" Josie yelled through the house. "DICK'S HERE!" Logan rolled his eyes.

"SO SEND HIM UP," he yelled back. He could practically hear Josie rolling her eyes and muttering "and if I'd sent him up without warning you would have yelled." He heard Dick thumping up the stairs.

"Hey, so did you hear?" Dick asked. Logan shook his head.

"Hear what?" he asked.

"Neptune High School's Class of 2006's Ten Year High School Reunion!" Dick cheered. Logan's eyes widened.

"Seriously?" Logan asked. "It's already been ten years?" Dick laughed.

"Yeah, man. Isn't it crazy?" Logan shook his head.

"I don't believe you," he said. Dick laughed again.

"Believe it, Mac's working on the invitations right now. She's hunting everyone down electronically," he said. "She's found everyone except... Well, anyways, she's going to bring everything over here as soon as she gets off work." Logan stared at his friend.

"Why here?" he asked.

"Because, Duncan, our Senior President, is still MIA-though I think Mac tracked him down- and dear Miss Madison Sinclair-still single by the way-, our loving Acting Senior President, called Mac and asked her to do it," Dick said.

"Of course she did," Logan said. "But that doesn't explain what you're doing at my house and why Mac is coming here." Dick shrugged.

"Mac's idea," he said. "I just came over early." Logan rolled his eyes.

"Dude, seriously?" he asked.

"Yeah," Dick said. "It's been a while since we've had time without Mac around so..."

"It's not my fault you refuse to come over without your wife," Logan answered. Dick grinned.

"More like it's not our fault she refuses to leave us alone for too long. Something about us being alone being a bad idea," Dick said.

"And it is," Mac and Josie said coming into the room. The boys jumped. Dick walked over to Mac and gave her a kiss.

"Hey, Beautiful," he said. Logan really couldn't believe the relationship that had sprung up between Dick and Mac. Once Veronica left it's like they just... Came together... Like she was what was keeping us all apart, yet together at the same time. No, don't go there, Logan. Going there always leads to something horrible...

"Awe, why don't I get a greeting like that?" Josie asked looking at Logan. Logan threw his pencil at her.

"Hey, Pain-in-the-ass," he said. Josie caught the pen, smirked, and threw it back. It hit Logan in the chest. "And my point is proven. Now, why is all of this happening here?"

"Because I was thinking we should have the reunion at the premiere," Mac said. Logan stared at her.

"What premiere?" he asked suspiciously.

"The premiere of the Lilly Kane story," Mac said. "It's the perfect place." Logan turned to Dick.

"You agree with this?" he asked. Dick nodded.

"Don't you?" he asked. Logan stared at his friends at a loss for words. "Lilly was really important to all of us. When she died, everyone felt it; the whole school changed, especially our grade since she always hung out with us. It's only right that everyone be reminded exactly what we lost-and gained-because of Lilly Kane's murder." Logan glared at his friend.

"I'll think about it," he said.

"You know we're right, Logan," she said. Logan shook his head.

"No," he said. "I lost everything: Lilly, my Mom, Duncan, my life,... Her." Logan's voice cracked, tears in his eyes.

"She'll come back when she's ready," Mac said. Logan laughed bitterly.

"It's been ten years," he said. "She's not coming back."

"You never know, Logan," Mac said.

"Really, so then you found her?" Logan asked. "You've invited her to the reunion?" Mac looked uncomfortable.

"Not yet," she said. Logan gave her a sarcastic look.

"If Veronica Mars doesn't want to be found, no one is going to find her," Logan said. Mac grinned.

"If Veronica Mars doesn't want to be found, I'm the only one that can find her," she said. "I know all of Veronica's tricks. I can hack into anything. I work for the CIA for crying out loud. All I really have to do is wait until Keith Mars calls his daughter to tell her about the reunion. I know he's still in contact with her."

"How?" Logan asked.

"No way Veronica just ups and leaves her father without staying in contact with him," Mac said. "No way."

"That's not the point," Dick said. "The point is you gained my friendship, Mac's friendship, Josie and her friendship. Look at where your life is. You could have never gotten here if Lilly Kane were still alive." Logan growled.

"Fine," he said. "Use the premiere as the basis for the reunion. Just leave me out of the planning." Mac squealed and hugged him.

"You're the best!" she said. Logan grimaced.

"Of course I am," he said. "Now don't you have some planning to do?" Mac grinned.

"I do!" she cheered. "Come on, Dick!" she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the door. "See you soon!" She called.

"Bye, Logan!" Dick yelled.

"Bye!" Logan yelled after them. He heard the front door slam.

"Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!" he yelled.

"Something wrong?" Josie asked.

"Track Veronica down?" Logan moaned. "Track her down? Mac's crazy." He flopped into his chair dropping his head in his hands.

"How is that a bad thing?" Josie asked. She knew very little about Veronica Mars: only what Logan had put in the screen play and what Duncan had told her. "I thought you wanted Veronica back?"

"Only if she wants to come back," Logan said, his voice muffled. "Otherwise it'll be horrible."

"I don't understand," Josie said. Logan looked up, tears running down his face.

"I guess it's about time I told you everything about Veronica Mars..."
