A/N: This is my first story in script format. I've never done this but I'll give it a try. I'll be stealing dialogue from the show at first, but also add in my own, after all this is a LoVe story and from here on out things will go a bit differently than they did on the show, such as the breakup of Logan and Veronica. I always wondered why in this episode he was dressed up so I came up with a reason why. Hope you enjoy it! By the way, this starts in season 3 when Madison says she hooked up with Logan...
INT - LINGERIE SHOP - DAY.
Veronica walks through the shop carrying a couple of teddies on hangers.
VERONICA VOICEOVER: I heard it from a pro. Lingerie. Maybe I should get into the spirit of doing things normal girlfriends do. I should make more of an effort to please my man. First comes sexy underthings.
She lays them on the counter, a little nervously. She is startled by the sound of a hateful voice as Madison comes out of one of the dressing rooms near the counter.
MADISON: Um, do you have the thigh-highs with the seams up the back?
VERONICA: I think I saw some between the pasties and the edible underwear.
MADISON: You know, it's kind of smart of you to raid the sale rack like that. It's almost a waste for me to spend all this money on something that will be ripped right off of me.
VERONICA: If you're trying to get Dick back, I don't think you have to work that hard. Seriously, a hefty bag and some duct tape, and he'd be good to go.
Madison scoffs.
MADISON: Dick? Please.
VERONICA: You came over. I figured...
MADISON: Oh, Logan and I hooked up in Aspen over the holidays. I guess you two were split, huh? I was in town and thought he might have some free time, but, oh, well. Oh, and, as a friend, he's not so big on the one-piece numbers.
Madison walks off, having enjoyed every second of the encounter. Veronica looks close to throwing up.
That night Veronica has nightmares of Madison with Logan.
INT - MARS RESIDENCE - DAY.
Veronica wakes up from her dream/nightmare at the sound of a ringing phone. She reaches for it wearily.
VERONICA: Hello?
INT - NEPTUNE GRAND HOTEL, LOGAN'S SUITE - CONTINUING.
Logan is walking towards the sideboard in his suite.
LOGAN: Either you're affecting a sexy phone voice or you even make "hello" sound good.
INT - MARS RESIDENCE - CONTINUING.
Veronica's mind flashes back to Madison on top of Logan.
VERONICA: What time is it?
She sits up and groans.
VERONICA: I've got to go. I'm late for work.
INT - NEPTUNE GRAND HOTEL, LOGAN'S SUITE - CONTINUING.
Logan starts making himself a hot drink.
LOGAN: Work, right. Are you sure you're not getting a body wrap and a blow out for our fancy date tonight.
INT - MARS RESIDENCE - CONTINUING.
Veronica doesn't have the energy or heart to play along and her responses are flat.
VERONICA: You got me. I better haul ass if I want to fit in that brow shaping.
LOGAN: [on phone] And Veronica?
VERONICA: Yeah?
INT - NEPTUNE GRAND HOTEL, LOGAN'S SUITE - CONTINUING.
LOGAN: Don't go changing.
He grins.
INT - MARS RESIDENCE - CONTINUING.
She doesn't, still wrapped up in dream and her exhaustion.
VERONICA: See you later.
She switches off the cell phone and sets it down on the coffee table. She rubs her hand across her face.
VERONICA VOICEOVER: Oh, I've changed, from a girl who slept to one who doesn't. Closing my eyes means popping in the Madison tape and pressing play.
EXT - HEARST COLLEGE, LIBRARY - DAY.
Veronica is having a hard time concentrating. She half-heartedly sorts some pens and then throws them down, leaning her head against her hand. She doesn't hear the footsteps that approach her.
BONNIE: [offscreen] Veronica?
Veronica jerks her head around. Bonnie, last seen at the Pi Sig party in 309 "Spit and Eggs," approaches the help desk in some trepidation.
VERONICA: Bonnie.
BONNIE: Can we talk?
VERONICA: Sure.
BONNIE: Tim's talked about you. A lot.
VERONICA: Affectionately, I'm sure. So what can I do for you?
BONNIE: Um...
Bonnie drops her head and pauses to gather her courage.
BONNIE: I got pregnant and someone slipped me RU-486.
VERONICA: RU...?
BONNIE: It causes a miscarriage and I want you to find out who it was.
Veronica walks around the desk to face Bonnie.
VERONICA: The miscarriage...you're sure it was intentional?
BONNIE: I didn't think so at first, but then the doctor saw that I had this weird rash and that my hands and feet were numb. He said it looked like I was having an allergic reaction to the RU-486. I told him I didn't take any. He did a blood test. Confirmed it.
Another student walks by them nearby and Veronica leads Bonnie towards the bookcases to get some privacy.
VERONICA: I'm so sorry, Bonnie. I'm looking for the least rude way to ask you if you know who the father was...
Veronica takes a deep breath.
VERONICA: And that's what I came up with.
BONNIE: It was Tim...or Dick.
VERONICA: Fair enough. So, did Tim or Dick know about the baby?
BONNIE: They both did. At first I was just so freaked out, I didn't even think I wanted to keep the baby. I went to Dick and asked if he'd help pay for the procedure.
A student (whose line must have been cut as he's in the credits as Russian Lit. Student) starts looking at the shelf near them, so Veronica pulls Bonnie deeper into the stacks.
VERONICA: How did that go?
BONNIE: He said he'd pay...after I got a paternity test.
VERONICA: Yeah. He's a classy dude.
BONNIE: But Tim has been so sweet. I mean, he is just so great in crisis mode.
VERONICA: You two are back together?
BONNIE: Right. I forgot you saw the famous Pi Sig-party fight. I felt awful. I just left Dick at the party to go see Tim.
The Russian Lit student drifts closer again. After giving him a look of exasperation, Veronica pulls Bonnie away again.
BONNIE: I had to beg. But he forgave me.
VERONICA: Excuse me for asking, but...why Tim?
BONNIE: It'll sound twisted, but Tim takes care of me. He's like my dad that way.
VERONICA: Okay, then. So, how did Tim react in the moment you told him?
BONNIE: I didn't tell him. He found out.
They reach the stairs to the next floor and sit down on them.
BONNIE: We got back to my place one night, and there was this balloon bouquet from my parents.
Bonnie does air quotes.
BONNIE: "Congrats from Grandma and Grandpa." Any other guy would have lost it, but Tim offered to marry me.
VERONICA: [intrigued] Your parents sent balloons?
BONNIE: Turns out our family doctor's not the firmest believer in the whole doctor/patient confidentiality...which, um, kind of changed the equation in terms of keeping the baby or not...'cause my parents are pretty religious. And then, you know, Tim wanted me to keep the baby.
Veronica nods.
VERONICA: I'll see what I can find out.
BONNIE: Just please, Veronica, don't let Tim know I hired you. I would feel horrible if he even thought for a second that I didn't trust him.
INT - NEPTUNE GRAND HOTEL, LOGAN'S SUITE - NIGHT.
Logan is sitting on the bed in his room in the suite. He's got on a shirt and tie, and is concentrating on putting in his cufflinks. He hears steps and looks up. Veronica arrives at the door, not dressed up. She has her arms wrapped tightly around her body. Her eyes glitter with wetness.
LOGAN: Jeans. Bold choice. I hope the maitre d' is fashion-forward.
VERONICA: Did you and Madison have sex over winter break?
Logan looks up at her confused.
VERONICA: (angrily) You heard me. Did you and Madison have sex over winter break?
LOGAN: (getting angry and shaking his head) No. I never saw Madison over break. Why would you ask that?
VERONICA: Funny story. I ran into Madison yesterday and she told me she hung out with you and Dick in Aspen.
LOGAN: (more confused.) I never went to Aspen with Dick. I stayed here. Ask Dick. He tried to get me to go, but I wouldn't.
VERONICA: (shaking her head.) Why don't I believe you? (holds up her hand when Logan tries to speak) Don't say it. (turns for the door) I gotta go.
She leaves Logan standing there watching her leave.
LOGAN: What the hell just happened?
He pulls out a small black box and throws it against the wall before he slams the door of his bedroom.
EXT - HEARST COLLEGE - DAY.
Dick has found himself an ideal leering spot at a busy pedestrian intersection. He is sitting on a stone bench in the centre with a plastic cup of coffee, watching the girls go by.
VERONICA VOICEOVER: The best way to forget about your own problems? Dive into someone else's.
Veronica slides next to him. He's not pleased to see her.
VERONICA: So, Bonnie Capistrano tells me you knocked her up and blew her off.
DICK: Yeah, whatever happened with that?
VERONICA: You do your hair like that to cover up the three sixes on your scalp, right?
DICK: I told her to get a paternity test. I'm not here to help her turn a profit.
VERONICA: I just feel like you have this wadded-up Maxim magazine where your heart is supposed to be.
DICK: Oh, I'm heartless? First Duncan, now Logan. You're running out of rich bachelors' heads to mess with. Is it some kind of weird sport for you, you know, breaking dudes' hearts? What, you put another notch on your lipstick case?
VERONICA: Logan slept with Madison when you guys were in Aspen.
DICK: (confused) Logan never came to Aspen with me. He stayed home. He was too miserable to have any fun, no thanks to you.
Veronica pretends that comment doesn't bother her.
VERONICA: Then why would Madison say that?
DICK: Because it's Madison. She wants what she can't have. Can we be done? I've got things to do.
He looks up and spots someone.
DICK: Redheaded things. [shouting] Nadia!
Dick gets up and chases after the girl as Veronica watches.
NADIA: There's my big, dumb blonde.
They walk off together and Dick takes the opportunity to throw his arm around Nadia's shoulders. He glances back at Veronica defiantly.
VERONICA VOICEOVER: It must be a liberating thing not to be cursed with a moral compass. But now I know Logan is telling the truth. But still, why would Madison lie? I'll apologize to Logan later. First, I need to go talk to Bonnie.
