Hi y'all, i am very happy to present for you're personal enjoyment a very special project for my special girl. When she told me over the summer how sad she was that Veronica Mars never had a season 4, she didn't realize how I committed this fact to memory. Now having just seen the entire series myself I was inspired to write a season four for her and for everyone else who loved this show. Its got a little of something for everyone since it crosses over with Hannah Montana, Glee and Smallville. I took some artistic license with it too so here's to hopping y'all love my ideas and continue to read and please review. I hope to have exactly 21 chapters each one being an episode in season 4. I am always open to ideas so please send me a message on here if you have an idea of a storyline you'd like touched in the story and I'll try to accommodate. For all you dedicated fans you're welcome to play the theme song after the intro. Of course none of the characters belong to me and I am using them for you're enjoyment. So -Without further ado...Veronica Mars season 4 * Rated M for Language and sexuality*
Chapter 1: Bye Bye Birdie
Intro:
If anyone prepared me for this moment, leaving LA as a junior FBI agent, no doubt its to Keith Mars. Former Private Investigator of Neptune California, now sheriff I simply call him dad. From High School cases, as his assistant from the belly of the beast. He's always been there and believe it I haven't made his life easy.
The investigation of the murder of my best friend Lilly Kane, turned my high school life up-side down. I swore I'd keep looking and bring the guilty man, not the one our town wrongly accused due to pay offs and miss represented evidence to justice. I did end up finding out it was my own boyfriends father who killed her. Though the tapes that would have put him behind bars disappeared. He walked.
Senior year passed with a bus crash and of course it wouldn't be complete without me almost being killed defending my friend Mac. It's a lot more complicated then I am making it out to be. What with the sex video scandal my first year at Hearst College, my professor's TA killing the Dean trying to frame him. Though he wasn't blameless he killed the Dean's wife they were having an affair. The stolen hard drive that outed the prestigious secret society at Hearst College called the Castle; but that's another story.
If you think all sounds a little bit impossible. A little over the top; you wouldn't be alone, but it did all happen I'd swear to it. Now looking through the window at the clouds racing across the wings of the airplane. I, Veronica Mars, am about to begin the biggest case of my life, as Mac would say ready or not mystery meet your match. New York here I come.
Play theme song now:
The brunette girl leaned her elbow on the bar; with her finger tracing the rim of her poison, tequila sunrise. The blond behind the bar watched her through reflections in the bottles trying to keep from blushing. Turning to pour a drink, to the man on her left she attempted not to glance at Mac.
Mac turned to the bartender, and smiled. She always found time spent watching the others in bar enlightening. She knew for example she'd never get so drunk she'd need to be carried out. Also she was here for Audrey, her friend from New York Institute of Technology though both had very different goals. Mac wanted to be a computer program designer and Audrey took business. Her mother the famous Ann Margaret had opened this bar in Soho called Bye Bye Birdie. As her own stardom though once shinning dimmed enough she'd no longer wanted to live in Hollywood. Leaving the bar to her daughter now while she spent the winter in Florida, Mac found herself here every Friday night.
This Friday wasn't any different, snow swirling outside the windows. Headlights illuminating the outside wonderland as they passed. Mac again ran her finger along the inside rim of the glass. Bye Bye Birdie was always busy Friday nights. Full of college students, Audrey always kept this bar the place to be.
"Hey" Audrey said coming up and making Mac grin more. "You want another?"
Mac considered the offer "No" she said. "I gotta walk back to the subway in that."
As she spoke she waved her hand to indicate the wintery weather. "I don't wanna have an accident and slip if I am buzzed." As she spoke "Have the time of Your lives" by Miley Stewart came on the radio.
Audrey felt her heart sink a little. She'd wanted Mac to stay a little longer that couldn't happen for the weather prevented it. Sighing as she took the now empty glass from her friend.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" Mac asked while she smiled warmly.
Audrey's heart picked up tempo. Nodding as the phone rang and she watched as Mac drifted away through the crowds of bar goers. She waved from the bar door. Then she was gone.
Lilly Trescott watched her girlfriend her big blue eyes dancing at the sight. Miley in her black lace nightgown. She wished this vision of erotism wasn't three thousand miles away in a New York City apartment. She couldn't keep her cheeks from blushing and her hands in her lap wanted something she couldn't have.
"Well I have to go to bed Lilles" Miley said her happy giggly laughter pouring over Skype.
"Tease!" Lilly's voice hitched. "Just wait till you get home!"
Miley laughed harder at making her girlfriend blush crimson. "I'll be home sooner than you think."
Lilly covered her face with her hands.
"Awe baby!" Miley chided "don't hide your beautiful face. I promise you I am wishing I was there to hold and kiss you!"
Lilly took her hands from her face long enough to give Miley a withering stare.
"Goodnight sweetie, goodnight my darling!'
"Goodnight Miles miss you" Lilly said half heartily
As the connection ended, Lilly closed the computer. Sighed as she whipped the cold tears from her cheeks. She wouldn't let Miley see her cry. Then she felt her phone's heavy vibrations from her pocket. Attempting to still her own desires from the energy left behind by the phone. She flipped it open, call from Veronica Mars.
What does my cousin need, Lilly wondered.
Audrey closed the bar door behind her, locking it and then giving the nob a good tug. Just in case, she mused. Turning she beheld the winter storm as the snowflakes kissed her cheeks. She giggled at the tingling sensation on her warm red lips. She couldn't wait until later when she'd go with Mac to their favorite coffee shop in the Village. She clapped her hands to keep them warm against the cold. Her phone rang lively in the crisp night. Flipping it open she saw another alert and rolled her eyes.
Why did I link into my account?
Shrugging it off she grabbed for her iPod in her pocket. Flipping songs she chose Shinedown "If you only knew" and began the walk to the subway. She knew it was four am, tired she didn't notice the shadow in the doorway.
"So how was your day?" Veronica quipped pushing her long blond hair behind her ears. Phone in one hand and other on the wheel she drove down the Pacific Highway. Darkness blanketed the car, but the music kept her from falling into dreams way before their appropriate time.
"Fine I guess" Lilly sighed.
"What's wrong sweetie?"
"I just talked to Miley."
"Awe long distance sucks" Veronica said as tactfully as she could muster.
Turning the music down a little so she could hear herself think. She wished she could give her cousin a hug.
Lilly sighed again, her voice sounded sad and far away beyond the cutting of the headlights. "How's Uncle Keith?" Lilly asked pushing herself back from fatigue.
"He's fine working on a big case, I am thinking I'll come visit you this weekend. Girls night maybe?"
"Uh-oh" Lilly rubbed at her eyes "Yeah I guess you can. I don't have anything to do."
" Jeez don't sound too excited" Veronica laughed trying to cheer her.
"Sorry V" Lilly said somewhat abashedly. Ashamed she wasn't excited to hear from her famous FBI agent cousin. She truly loved and adored spending time with her.
"I'll see you soon though?" Veronica said kindly
"Yes!" Lilly pulled every bit of herself together it even sounded cheerful and convincing she thought.
"Good!" Veronica smiled changing the song again for good measure.
"I am gonna go to bed" Lilly rubbed at her eyes again more insistently the second time.
"Goodnight hon, sweet dreams if you have nightmares I'll send you Backup"
Lilly smiled at her cousin's pun. "Night!" she closed the phone.
Audrey didn't have time to second guess why she played the same song again. She always found Shinedown calming and she wasn't ready to slow down. Her music muted the sound of the boots on the sidewalk behind her.
She didn't hear but she felt the sting in surprised shock crying out to an empty street. Her voice sounded empty and her heart felt it would burst. She landed hard on the ground shock feeling wetness on her legs. Through her tears and empty screams all she could hear was "If you only knew!"
Then she felt the cold rushing across her body. As she felt more stinging pain. Someone hit her hard in the face.
"Shut up you fucking cunt, stop squealing and take it."
How was this happening? How could she hear?
Cold pressed against ever part of her body. She felt it hard against her and GOD it ripped her inside. As she tried to plead, the guy. Yes it was a guy. Hit her head against the sidewalk.
Blood mixed with snow; she heard his moans and groans from an empty place far away. She knew she couldn't hold on. She knew she was going to die.
Hot tears fell from her green eyes. Her screams silenced. She'll never know. She'll never know how much I cared.
"Mac I love you" Audrey whispered.
As her eyes beheld the world no more.
Next Time on Veronica Mars *to be posted Tuesday 14th 9pm*
" Oh Audrey from the bar?" Veronica's flog lifting from her sleepy mind.
"Yes!"
" Whats wrong?"
"She's missing!"
"Missing? Are you sure?"
" Veronica" Mac snapped "hell of course I am sure!"
" When was the last time you saw her?"
" Yesterday night well actually today early 12am at the Bye Bye Birdie!"
Veronica bit her lip in thought. Why would Audrey be missing. If she remembered the girl right. She was a sweetheart.
