Title: Codeword - Endurance
Disclaimer: I do not own Veronica Mars, or any part of the show. I own the DVDs, but need some closure and this is purely for my enjoyment. Although I hope I'm not too terrible at this, so maybe others will enjoy it also!
This is my first story so please be gentle with the review button. Thank you!
Summary: Takes place sometime after the final episode, just before the semester ends. All the usual characters are accounted is throwing and end of the year party.
The music was so loud that Dick never heard the small girl behind him, it wasn't until she tapped on his shoulder that he noticed her. When he saw the face behind him a smirk spread across his face.
" I knew you would come looking for me before this semester was over. All ladies love dick!"
"Ughhh seriously? Never mind!" She stormed off so quickly he had to run to catch up with her.
"Mackie, you know I was just kidding, I'm sorry!"
"Are you really sorry? Because I need your help and I don't have time for your regular asshat routine right now!" She was a little surprised at his reaction.
"What's wrong did someone hurt you, are you OK?"
"Yeah I'm fine but Veronica is not. I don't know what is going on with her she asked me to come to this party with her, but when she picked me up she was acting strange. And I know that you don't care about this, but she is really drunk now and she is being...uhm well...God she's acting really slutty! Oh god if she ever hears that I said that she will kill me, but if she finds out she was acting like this and I didn't stop her she will kill me! I have never seen her act like this and I am really worried."
Once she got the last words out she grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the dance floor. When he saw Veronica he was instantly angry. Across the room he can see two people almost glued together almost indecently.
"Wow, I didn't know she had it in her, but that is so not Piz. Where is he? Shouldn't he be here taking care of his girlfriend?"
" Well I'm sure if they were dating I would be at home and they would be somewhere together. They broke up a few days after the infamous food court rumble."
" Really?"
Dick can't help but to laugh at this. Mac stared at him wishing she could see the humor in this situation.
"Hey keep and eye on her I will be right back." As he walks toward the bar he pulls out his phone and dials the only person he knows that can handle Veronica.
"Hello."
"Hey man I need you to come to this party I am having."
"Dude I already told you that I am not coming."
"It's not for me, it's for Ronnie. She is really drunk and Macster is worried about her."
"Why isn't Piz there? Why didn't Mac call him, or Wallace?"
" Yeah man, I just found out so don't go all Hulk on me, I wasn't holding out on you..."
"For fucks sake just say it dick!"
"Damn dude I said not to Hulk, just get over her and I we will fill you in!"
Dick hangs up the phone knowing that Logan is already in the Rover on his way. He goes and retrieves two beers from the bar. He looks around till he spots Veronica perched atop her dance partners lap on the couch. As he walks toward her Mac falls into step with him.
"So what's the plan?"
"I'm going to distract her and you take her car keys. They are in her back pocket. "
"That's you big plan? Oh my god, why didn't Wallace answer the damn phone!"
Veronica jumps up and runs toward them hugging Mac, who looks very uncomfortable.
"Great party Dick."
"Thanks Ronnie. You got a minute?"
Dick hands her a beer and Mac notices her keys in her back pocket. "So nice moves out there. So who's your friend?"
"I have no idea!"
She giggles aloud until Mac snatches the keys out of her pocket. Veronica starts to protest but Mac is already lost in the crowd.
"What are you party police, I am just trying to have a little fun!"
She pushes past Dick stalking away and is pulled into the same lap she left from. Dick hears her giggle again and cringes knowing that Logan will be there soon. He sets out to find mac. She is out on the balcony alone, when he finds her. "Thanks for the help, but how am I supposed to get her home? Her dad will flip and what if she wants to leave with that guy?" "You guys can stay in Logan's old room." "His old room, what do you mean?" "He moved out, he is renting a house on the beach this summer. Yeah don't even worry about that guy Logan will take care of that when he gets here!" "Aww Dick please tell me you didn't call Logan! Shit! She will never forgive me, but she won't have to she will just kill me!" "You need to chill, you know he is the only one besides her dad she will listen to. Plus maybe they will talk about them. I hate admit it, but I miss them." Make laughs at Dick, but turns to him with a serious face. "I know it kinda makes me feel like my parents got divorced or something."
Logan enters the suite and sees Dick and Mac standing together. "Where is she?"
"Over there." Logan turns to see Veronica out on the dance floor. "What's going on Mac?"
"Piz dumped her, he said he would never be you and that he deserved to be happy. Plus Wallace is mad at her about Piz, and she was mad at you. I don't know, I think she is tired of being sad." Dick put his arm around Mac, he knew she felt horrible, like she was betraying Veronica. Logan turned to look at Vee just in time to see someone elses hand on her waist.
"Who's the clown...with his hands on her? Mac and Dick follow Logan as he stomps toward Veronica angrily. Mac froze as Logan stepped in between Vee and her dance partner. Dick steps up to stand beside Logan. "Yo dude I got no problems" He holds his hand up and walks away. Veronica is livid.
"What are you doing here?"
"Obviously I am here to save you again! How lucky am I. I get to save the great Veronica Mars from herself!"
"If you haven't noticed I am fine I don't need your help!" She spins around to stomp off and stumbles toward the bar. They follow her as she stalks aways. She finds another beer and Mac steps up to her and takes the beer. "Vee don't you think that you should just let me or Logan drive you home, you've had alot to drink."
"Really Mac you too...Did you call him!"
" Veronica you know I wouldn't do that." Dick steps up to Mac's side.
" I called him."
"Aww thanks Dick, I didn't know you cared! I am not leaving I am having fun!" Veronica stumbles back towards the dance floor and Logan catches her before she falls.
"Yeah we noticed, but you are drunk and you need to go home before you do something you regret."
"Oh wait is that advice, I forgot that your and expert at this!" They all look at Veronica stunned.
"See what I mean Vee...I'm sorry about this."
"About what?"
Logan curses under his breath and swings her over his shoulder. He holds her feet still as she tries to kick him and heads toward the door. "I think you've had enough fun for tonight!" Dick and Mac meet him at the door. Mac hands over Vee's bag and tells him thank you. Veronica glares at them.
" I can't believe you did this to me!" Dick pulls Mac into and embrace as Logan leaves.
"Don't worry, she doesn't mean it."
"I hope your right."
