Part 1

"Veronica my office…now."

Veronica turns to Wallace as she heads off to Clemmons office. "I love this school!"

LVLVLVLVLVLV

Clemmons shuts the door after Veronica goes into his office. Veronica walks to one of the chairs in front of his desk and sits down, looking very relaxed in the situation. Clemmons picks up a thick file off of his desk and starts flipping through it, he then shuts the file as he sits down. He shoves the file towards her, "Veronica, do you know what this is?" and he gestures toward the file.

Veronica looks around the room, and then leans in as if to tell a secret, "Well, sir this happens to be your desk, which consequently is in your office, and I know normally I wouldn't be in here, but you asked to see me." She leans back in her seat. "Thou I did think you would talk to me not ask to random questions that have obvious answers, but if that is what you want to do, then can I ask you a personal question Van? May, I call you Van?"

"No Veronica you may not call me Van, and there is a reason I called you in here." Clemmons points to the file. "This is your permanent file Ms. Mars ands as you may have noticed it is rather thick. Now as I understand you are planning on going to college, am I right?" Veronica nods. "Now, most colleges are going to look at this and are not going to be impressed with your choice of extra curriculars, So, I have a deal, the cheerleading squad have just lost a member. Now, since I know you have some time on your hands, what with not doing anything for the school and you have had practice in cheerleading, I figured if you were to replace her and join another school club, I will get rid of all of this." And he gestures to the file. "I will give you a clean slate, but you have to remain the cheerleading squad until the end of the season and stay in the club of your choosing for the remainder of the year. You must also attend all practices starting Friday, so the day after tomorrow. Also before you decide, I would like to remind you, that with a file full of as many misdemeanors as you seem to have accumulated, one more wrong doing and it would be grounds for suspension."

Veronica looks like a guppy sitting in her chair, with her jaw opening and closing. She starts to stutter, "Clemmons, you can't do that, its like, no it is blackmail."

Clemmons shakes his head, "I never said that you have to take this deal, I am just informing you of the many benefits of it." Veronica drops her head, "So, what will it be Ms. Mars?"

LVLVLVLVLVLV

Veronica walks out of Clemmons office and spots Wallace at the front desk. She slowly walks over to him. Wallace looks up from what he is doing when a shadow passes over where he is working, "So, what did Clemmons want, V?"

Veronica shrugs, "You know the usual, said I caused problems, gave me a ultimatum, blackmailed me into extra curriculars, threatened my future, but besides that," She shrugs, "like any other meeting."

Wallace stops what he is doing and focuses on Veronica, "Threatened your future, what do you mean?"

Veronica tilts her head and looks sky ward, "And I thought the socializing with my piers was worse, hmm, odd." She looks at the clock on the wall, "Well I have to be going, I have this thing called class that I probably shouldn't be late, for, wouldn't want another meeting with Van." She looks back at Wallace and sees his perplexed expression, "How about when I see you later I tell you all of what went on, ok?"

Wallace nods, "Ok, see ya later V."

LVLVLVLVLVLVLV

The last bell rings and Veronica hurries off to her locker to find Wallace standing next to it. She puts her combination in and opens it. She starts to put her books in, while Wallace continues to stare at her. "So V, when are you going to tell me what went on in your meeting with Clemmons?"

Veronica stops putting her books away and looks up at Wallace, "Well, I have to go see the cheerleading coach and Mr. Pope. So, how about you come over later around sevenish." She continues putting her books away.

"Do you have a new case?" Wallace asks.

Veronica stops to think for a second, "Not at the moment, why?"

"Then why do you need to go see them?" Wallace asks looking confused.

Veronica lets out a sigh and shakes her head, "Long story. I'll tell you later, if you can come over, if not I'll just tell you tomorrow sometime."

"Well, that's new. Most ho's go to their clients house, but you have them coming to you. You must be really good, but then I guess practice makes perfect, huh."

Veronica turns around to see Dick and a few other 09ers standing around. She smirks, "Wow, Dick that was really good, I am totally amazed that you can come up with that stuff up all on your own."

Dick goes to say something back, when Mac comes running up and stops in front of Veronica. Mac says breathing hard, "Oh, I am so glad I caught you, I have a" She pauses, "situation, that I really need your help with. Please tell me, you can help?"

Veronica looks at Mac, "That depends is it illegal?"

Mac stops for a moment, then shrugs with a little grin on her face, "There's a strong possibility, but I doubt we'll get much jail time if we're caught."

Veronica looks pensive for a moment, "Well, Dad doesn't like it when I get arrested, and Lamb's an ass and doesn't seem to care for me very much, so that really raises our chances of getting put in jail if we are caught."

"Yes," Mac interrupts "but we can be stealthy and Lamb's so dense, he wouldn't notice even if we were right in front of him. Please, I really need help."

Veronica smiles, "Mac, of course I'll help you, but if we get caught you get to be the one calling my Dad from the cell. So, what did you need help with?"

Mac looks around and for the first time seems to notice everyone standing around, "I think I will just tell you later when you're not surrounded by people." With that she runs back off the way she came.

Wallace looks at Veronica, "Wow, that girl is crazier then you at times, and that is definitely saying something, cause you are the looniest white chick I ever met."

Veronica shakes her head; "She's only like that when she is really nervous about something, which doesn't really bode well, with what she probably wants to ask me." She shuts her locker and then they turn and walk away. "And looniest, is that even a word?" They continue walking down the hall away from Dick and the other 09ers, which hadn't said a word since Mac showed up.

Veronica walks out of the gym, with a bag in her hands, and walks toward the doors leading outside. She stops at a sign on the wall that says, Pep rally during 2nd and 3rd hour on Tuesday. She shakes her head and continues walking out the door.

LVLVLVLVLVLVLV

Veronica is sitting on the couch, curled up with a blanket watching TV. When there is a knock on the door. She looks at the clock then gets up to open the door. She opens the door to see Wallace standing on the other side with a grocery bag in his hand. She gestures for him to come inside and tries to peek in the bag while she asks, "So what do you have in the bag, my dear Wallace?"

Wallace smiles and moves the bag away from her and walks into the kitchen. He walks to a cupboard and grabs two bowls then gets two spoons. He opens the bag and pulls out a container of Rocky Road ice cream. Veronicas eyes get big as Wallace starts to put some in the bowls, "Well, I figured that if you had to have a meeting with Clemmons then you probably needed some ice cream, you know to relieve some of the horror that had to come with being in the same room for an extended period of time with Mr. C." He says dramatically as he hands her a bowl.

They walk into the living room and sit down Veronica on the couch and Wallace in the armchair. Veronica starts to eat the ice cream, while Wallace looks expectantly at her. She looks back at him, "What?"

Wallace clears his throat a little and she stares at him blankly. "Oh my god, are you going to tell me what happened some time this century?"

Veronica stares at Wallace with a smirk on her face, "Jeez, Wallace if I thought you wanted to talk that much I would have invited the rest of the girls over so we could have a little girl talk, and maybe gossip about the latest trends and what Madison wore to school yesterday. We could totally have a slumber party and give each other makeovers."

Wallace glares at her, "Veronica I have waited all day to hear this and ….Oh shit, I really do sound like a girl." He finishes wide-eyed as he looks at Veronica whom is sitting on the couch laughing.

Veronica stops laughing and takes pity on the boy and tells him about the meeting with Clemmons, when she finishes he is laughing at her and she is unsuccessfully trying to glare at him while not smiling. She gives up and starts laughing with him. After they get their laughing under control, Veronica says, "See I don't think the situation is at all that funny."

Wallace looks her in the eye and says slowly, "V, you are going to be a cheerleader, ok? You are going to have to dress up like a cheerleader and you are going to do cheers and everything else, that comes with being a cheerleader like being peppy all the time." He shakes his head, "If that ain't funny I don't know what is."

Veronica closes her locker and on the other side is Mac. "Hey, Mac, you needed my help with something, are you doing anything during lunch?" Veronica asks.

They walk off down the hall towards class as the bell rings. Mac thinks about it for a second then answers, "No, did you want to meet up then and talk?"

Veronica looks at her, "Well that was the idea, cause after school, is kinda not an option anymore."

Mac looks confused at her, "What do you have after school?"

They stop outside of a classroom, and lean against the wall next to the door. Veronica looks up in thought, "Well, I have Cheerleading, after school every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3 to 6 and then every Tuesday, and Thursday I have FBLA from 3:15 till 5."

Mac looks at Veronica, "I never thought you were a cheerleader or in FBLA for that matter. When did that happen?"

"Yesterday, in a meeting with Clemmons." Veronica says as the second bell rings, and they walk into homeroom. They walk over to their seats behind Meg and sit down.

Meg turns around, after Mr. Hartman finishes taking attendance. So are you ready for practice tomorrow?" she asked Veronica.

Veronica sighs, "I don't know is anyone ever really ready to go to hell on earth?"

Meg laughs, "Veronica it isn't that bad. I mean you used to be on pep squad. So it shouldn't be too hard, all we need to do is teach you the cheers before Tuesday, so you can be ready for the pep rally."

Veronica groans and bangs her head on the desk, "I now remember the only thing worse then practice, being in a pep rally for the school I despise."

Mac laughs, "Well, V I can think of something worse."

Veronica lifts up her head, "Yea, and what is that?"

Mac looks at Meg, "So, Meg on days when you have a pep rally you have to dress in your uniform, right?"

Veronica's eyes grew huge and she started to shake her head. She stuttered, "No, please tell me I don't have to wear that to school on Tuesday?" She pleaded with Meg.

Meg laughed "Sorry Veronica, its like a rule you have to wear your uniform on days when we have a pep rally or on Fridays when we have a game to cheer at."

Veronica dropped her head onto the table and groaned. "This is not fair, can't I not wear the uniform on the basis of I really don't want to be a" She looks around then whispers, "cheerleader."

"Veronica it isn't as bad as what you think it is, I mean you were on the pep squad, so it can't be any worse then what you did before." Meg replies.

Veronica looks at her with growing agitation, "Yea, but that was when I generally liked most of the school, now not so much," She snaps. Meg's eyes grow wide as she starts to face forward. Veronica reaches out her hand and stops her turning, "Sorry, that was mean, I just really am not looking forward to this."

Meg looks slightly sympathetic, "Don't worry so much, I mean I will be there to help, and you might just have some fun." Veronica looks unconvinced.
