Disclaimer: I dont own VM universe, but this imaginary tale is mine a little bit;)
A/N: I sort of skipped alot of the details, but if I continue I'll add more, dont worry. Hope this intro aint too confusing though.
Intro:
"Sleeping beauty, get up!"
Veronica mumbled tired:" Lilly, go away you're just a dream and this beauty needs her beauty sleep."
Lilly's laugh, which Veronica hadn't heard in 15 years, sounded so near that Veronica had to look up.
"Why are you coming back now? I haven't seen you in my dreams for a long time."
The forever 17 year old Lilly Kane jumped down on Veronicas bed and said smiling wide:" Well, I'm here to give you a heads up. Something huge is about to take place."
Veronica sighed, sat up running a hand through her short hair.
"Oh, you've finally discovered not all beautiful people go to heaven?"
"Ha ha very funny, no!" Lilly responded and added:" imagine my surprise at that discovery…" Veronica laughed and said:" what, that ugly people are allowed through the pearly gates?"
Lilly merely smiled and answered:" no, that I got to go to heaven…"
Veronica didn't know how to respond, seeing as this was all a dream.
"Well enough small talk, my petite little friend." Lilly suddenly said and pulled Veronica out of her bed and in front of the big mirror on the inside of her closet.
"So, what do you see?" Lilly asked looking closely at Veronica.
Veronica sighed and after a quick glance in the mirror she answered:" Well, I see me - A thirty one year old soon to be divorced with an extreme need for botox. Is that all?"
Veronica turned and tried to leave, but Lilly gripped her shoulders and turned her right back in front of her own reflection.
"Well, here's what I see; a thirty one year old woman who is morning desperately because the love of her life is about to be her ex-husband after a terrible incident."
Veronica sighed and sat down on the edge of her bed and sighed even harder as Lilly took out her wedding picture.
She and Logan stood so close together and his eyes looked at her as though no other woman would ever matter. Well, Veronica thought, wasn't I stupid?
"Put that down," she demanded and Lilly sighed to herself and sat down in front of Veronica and said:" Look, you'll always be my best friend, but hey I'm dead so I haven't really been able to drop by as much to tell you not to be so pigheaded as you are sometimes. You and Logan have to realize that you belong together. So…"
Veronica arched an eyebrow and said coldly:" He couldn't deal ok, therefore he ran and slept with the first woman he could find. Not really flattering to me."
Lilly's eyes narrowed and she said:" Not everything is about you, you know."
Veronica didn't want to be pierced by Lilly's stare and looked at the floor. "Why are you telling me all this anyway?"
Lilly's spirit returned and said:" Well, I have found the perfect way to make you two understand each other!"
Veronicas eyes widened as she heard the next statement from her dead best friend:" you're gonna relive high school!"
"No way! Absolutely not!"
Lilly laughed and jumped to her feet and said:" well, It's too late. The plan has already been set in motion, my dear as we speak Logan is getting a visit from the ghost of …hmm, well not Christmas – past. Well, toddles V and have fun!"
Veronica smiled to herself and suddenly she felt a great urge to sleep and only fifteen seconds later she did just that.

At the same time Logan Echolls was being gently woken by a woman's touch.
"Ronnie, I'm trying to sleep here." He mumbled, before realizing that the hand couldn't be his wife's since she'd sworn never to touch him again except to slap him.
Logan opened his eyes slowly tensing – preparing himself to take actions if the woman turned out to be a deluded fan of his fiction books.
The sight that meet Logan's eyes made him jump up from his bed and his brown eyes widened in shock.
"Mum!"
Lynne Echolls 14 years deceased looked up at her taller son and said with a soft smile:" Yes my dear, it's me."
Logan shook his head and mumbled:" too much tequila Echolls, just too much this time around."
Lynne laughed a sound Logan barely recognized seeing as his mother had been tyrannised just as much as he had by Aaron Echolls.
"Well I'm not quite sure how to convince you of my little visit, so I'll just skip that part honey. I'm here on business."
Logan wiped his eyes with his hands and looked at the shape of his mother again, she was still there.
This is one hell of a dream, Logan thought to himself, but then decided to play along as the dreams of his mother were not that often in his mind.
"What business?"
"Well, son, let me explain. I've watched you these last few years and I loved that you and Veronica finally grew up enough to stay together…until now at least."
Logan watched as his mother gripped his wedding picture from the nightstand and he didn't have to look at the image to describe it. Veronica and he stood so close together and for once she looked like nothing anyone would ever say about him would break her trust in him. Well, wasn't I stupid, Logan thought to himself and then demanded:" Put it down."
Lynne looked over at her son and suddenly without him realizing it, Logan was being pulled into the bathroom and in front of the mirror.
"Tell me what you see?" Lynne said and Logan sighed and threw a short glance at his reflection.
"Well, I see a thirty-one year old man in desperate need of a hangover cure."
Then he turned to leave, but Lynne's firm grip turned him back around.
"do you want to know what I see?" Lynne asked and eyed him closely. Logan looked up onto the ceiling as to ask for divine help, but his dead mother didn't seem to notice or care.
"I see a thirty-one year old man desperately morning the loss of his soul mate due to lack of communication and a lot of stubbornness."
Logan's eyes narrowed as he replied:" Look, she left me way before I even looked at that woman."
Lynne closed her eyes as to pray herself and then said calmly:" Yes, I can't deny that and that's why me and a fellow friend have devised a genius plan to make the two of you realize you mean everything to each other."
Logan's eyes widened as he listened to his mother.
"No way," Logan answered, " me and Neptune high again, not gonna happen."
Lynne smiled a devilish grin:" It's already set in motion sweetie."
Logan laughed as he remembered this to be a dream.
"Well, at what time will I return? Because if its freshman year, I'm totally gonna retake my algebra exam."
Lynne smiled and answered:" Well, I'll take you back to the year after Aaron's imprisonment. I can't be there, so it had to be after my death and we thought it would be a good time."
Logan laughed and said, finally able to shake her:" well, smarty pants. At that time Veronica is dating Duncan so I can't "convince her of our soul mate state", so I guess the plans off and all. So I'll go back to tending to my hang over. "
Lynne smiled and said:" you'll just have to work harder. All you memories of these years are not going to disappear neither are hers."
Logan finally listened, getting annoyed by this dream he asked seriously:" Is Veronica going through this as well?"
Lynne nodded and answered:" Yeah, she's with Lilly as we speak. And since she never could deny Lilly anything I'm gonna play the mother card here and demand you go too."
Logan lay down on the bed and suddenly he became very tired. Lynne's voice whispered softly before he gave in:" I'll be watching you Logan, please try to mend things with Veronica or else you wont live this time next year."
Logan hardly heard - sleep was already upon him.

Veronica yawned and felt her jar break as she strained it. I'm not gonna get up yet, Veronica told herself, I know it was a dream but it's been so long since Lilly came to me last. I'll just reminisce a bit longer today.
A clock radio suddenly began to play loud music and Veronica sat up with a yelp of surprise. Then she felt her heart beat faster as she recognized the room she was in.
"Nonono," Veronica mumbled and then she clapped a hand over her mouth and almost cried in panic.
Not only was the room she had woken up in not hers, but also Logan Echolls as it had looked before the house had been brutally burned down by the PCH'ers, and as though that wasn't quite enough she could swear that underneath her hand she felt facial hair.
Veronica was not one to avoid her fears, so she jumped out and fumbled - with closed eyes and one hand over her mouth- her way into her husband's bathroom in the Echolls mansion.
Then she finally opened her eyes.
And let out a piercing scream!
"LILLY!"
Lilly popped out in front of her and even Lilly's face looked frightened at the sight, which met her.
"Ups, my mistake."
Lilly said and hurried back to where she had been and left Veronica in front of the mirror looking absolutely panic struck at her reflection.
Well, wouldn't you be if you had woken up fourteen years younger and in your husband's body??
