Okay Okay after much bickering from my fans i have decided to break up "True Love after Loss" into two separate stories. The old generation and the new generation. Keep in mind it will take me twice as long to update because i will be working on two stories instead of one. Also read my new story "A day in the Life" it is based on the Season premire on what Logan was up to. And features a new AU kick ass character that i know you all will love.

I do not own Veronica mars or any of the characters besides Rachel, Cayden, Emilia, Erika, and Lilliana and a whole bunch of others. These people are based after my life and the people in it. If you don't already know Rachel and Emilia are based after me, what I look like, how I act and talk and the little characteristics like their defense mechanisms and their habits. They are my prides and joys! I hope you enjoy the story, it is a prequel to my first story 'The Greatest Love' I hope you like them both. Long Live the King Rob Thomas!

The doors opened to the hallway of Neptune high, she was nervous she never expected to be nervous. It was her first day and she was the new girl, fresh meat. She was tall with long burgundy hair that reached down her back and curled at the tips. She was wearing her favorite pair of jeans and baby blue t-shirt that read '90 angel'. The halls were deserted and she was happy her dad let her come in late. There was nothing like walking into a school on your first day in a crowd of kids. It was already 5th period and she was just trying to get a feel for the school. She walked around looking into a couple classrooms at the kids inside being bored to death with the same monotone lectures.

She turned around to leave and bumped into something. "Great" she mumbled whipping off her pants, now I am the klutz. She looked up to a hand in her face, she took it and let the strong grip pull her to her feet. "Hi, my name is Richard Casablancas" he was gorgeous with blond locks and purest blue eyes, and the name seemed oddly familiar. She realized that she was still holding his hand.

She began to shake it hoping he didn't catch her mistake. "Emilia." She said with an innocent smile, something she inherited from her mother, or so people say.

"So you're new?" he said with a smirk.

"Is it that obvious?" she said wincing.

"Well everyone is in class and I am pretty sure I would remember someone who looks like you." His grin widened.

"Is that your best line, or are you just giving me your b-list stuff" she said mimicking his smirk.

"Well don't we have a firecracker here." He said with a wink.

She rolled her eyes and started toward the school doors again, she was almost there when he asked "Where are you going? We still have a period left."

"Home I don't start till tomorrow, bye Dick" she said with a small smile walking through the door.

"Its Richard" she heard in a small voice as she left, she never would have guessed that she had just talked to the king of Neptune High.

"Tell me again why we are here" Emilia asked as she passed the milk to her right at the dinner table.

"Because I have finished my 12th movie and I made a promise that I was going to take a two year vacation." Rachel went to UCLA while she studied visual art, during her JR. year a production company realized who she was and took her on. She finished her senior year while also working on her first action movie. It was a complete 'flop' she used to say, even though it grossed more then 78 million in the box office.

"Plus your dad has decided to take over for grandpa, at least until he is feeling better and can find someone to take his place." Duncan went to UC Berkley where he majored in business and public communications, he ran for senator but lost, he didn't care though, he went back to school and was then one of the most successful stock brokers in LA.

They lived in LA all of her life, she grew up in the city, and on movie sets with her mom. They had become her home and the people on them her family. She rubbed shoulders with the bold and the beautiful before kids her age could even pick up a magazine.

"So school tomorrow" Duncan said.

"Yeah, so not looking forward to it" Emilia groaned looking back at her food.

"Emi, did something happen today" her mom asked worried, her mom had purposely named her Emilia so she would have a nickname for every feeling she had for her. When she was worried about her she called her Emi, when she was comforting her she was Emma, when she was in public she was Mia or Lea, and when she was upset with her she was Emilia Michelle Kane. Her mom was very interesting in those kinds of ways.

"No I just bumped into this guy, I thought he was nice but he turned out to be a sleaze. His name was….oh god I cant remember….o yeah Casablancas, it sounded familiar but I don't remember from where?" she said looking toward her parents.

Rachel started laughing, while Duncan just thought for a second the smile crossing his face. "I wonder whose he is?" he asked.

"Whose who is?"

"We went to school with the Casablancas brothers, I am just trying to remember which one had a kid close to your age." He said looking at Rachel who had now stopped laughing and was pondering the same thought.

"His name was Richard" she said trying to give them some help.

"Dick!" they both said in unison.

"Wait a second Dick Casablancas as in the boy mom tortured in high school." Emilia asked shocked.

"Way to go mom" Kevin called out, he was the shy one in the family, he never really talked but he had some other attributes. He was 16 and tall with a huge athletic build, he was diagnosed with a mild case of epilepsy like dad but never had any problems. Nothing really bothered him that much to set him off.

She turned back to her parents, "So great now I am going to have to go back to school knowing that by tomorrow the entire student body is going to hate me, because my mom used to play tricks on his dad." She huffed.

"And his mom, plus it was all in retaliation, I was teased and tortured as well" Rachel and Duncan were very open to their kids. They told them everything about their past, that was relevant.

"Yeah…..no way……well I don't care he can kiss my…. Hello family unit" Erika announced looking at the table. "I will call you back Lil your family is having dinner, bye" she said clicking off her cell phone.

"talking to my sister again, soon I am going to start thinking that you guys are BFF's" Emilia teased while Erika took her seat.

"What can I say Mimi your sister is just so much cooler then you" Erika joked.

Erika and Emilia have been best friends since birth, Rachel and her mom Kelly were best friends as well. Her dad left with one of the extras on his movie, and never knew his daughter since she was 3. Last year her mom died in a car accident, she was hit head on by a drunk driver, since then Erika moved in with the Kanes. She was welcomed into the family since she was already practically part of it her whole life. When Lilly went off to college she left a hole, which over time Erika having the same care-free and wild spirit as her was able to fill.

Lilly took after her aunt (surprise, surprise) like that wasn't in the plans when they named her after her. Back in LA she was the eye candy of every high school student, male cast member, and crew member. She was the pivotal sex symbol, 5'8 long brunet hair and fiery green eyes.

"I still cant believe that big dick named his son dick and then he actually followed the traditoion."

"No way, It went from big Dick, to little dick, to littlest dick" Rachel laughed so hard. "I called him dick today and he was pissed he was like 'it is Richard'" she said eyes tearing up with laughter. "tomorrow will be great!"
