Summary: Veronica confesses her secret relationship to Wallace after they are caught at Logan's not-birthday-surprise-party and he offers her advice after she convinces him that Logan has changed.

~VM~~

"Wallace? Say something, please?" Veronica looked at him with her puppy dog eyes and pouty lips awaiting her BFF's response to the news of her dating Logan Echolls.

"Logan Echolls," the name passed his lips in a hallowed whisper. "Logan Echolls," the disbelief now clear after the initial shock. "The same Logan Echolls that you called – and I quote – An Obligatory Psychotic Jackass- unquote." Of Veronica's pouty expression he emphasised, "The same Logan Echolls that bust the headlights of your car?" His incredulous expression would have made Veronica laugh had she not been nervously awaiting his acceptance of her choice in boyfriend. After All, Wallace Fennel is her BFF and she really wanted him to be cool with Logan.

"Boy, you really do know how to hold a grudge," Veronica joked as an attempt at lightening the tense atmosphere between them.

Wallace snorted and looked at her incredulously. "Forgive me for pointing out his warpath behaviour."

Veronica sighed. She really wished Wallace would be supportive and offer her advice even if she denied wanting it. "He's the antagonist to my protagonist." It was a melodramatic attempt at hoping for acceptance.

"Veronica, seriously Logan Echolls?"

Veronica gave him a pout; she was tired of everyone's disbelief. It was understandable considering their previous behaviour toward each other but it grew tiresome and what more could she and Logan do to prove that they were indeed serious about being a couple?

"Yes, Wallace. Logan Echolls; but he's not the boy that bust the headlights on my car." Wallace gave her questioning look. "He's the guy that ran to my rescue and punched that federal agent in the nose because he thought I was in trouble. He's the guy that broke down in my arms at Sunset Reagent when he'd realised his mom was really gone." Wallace's eyes widened and Veronica bit her lip, she shouldn't have revealed that but maybe it would have shown Wallace that Logan had a soft side. "He's the guy that's been through so much but is still standing. He's the guy that I used to be friends with a long time ago. He's the boy I met on the soccer field for the first time when we were twelve. "

Wallace was at loss for words, he hadn't realised that Logan had really meant something to Veronica, he hadn't believed people when they had said that Logan and Veronica had used to be friends, he still found it hard to believe.

"Okay," Wallace said with a sincere smile and Veronica lifted her head in surprise. "If you think he's a good person and you are happy, I will support you."

Veronica had a hopeful expression grace her face and a smile tugging at her lips. "Really?"

"Really," Wallace confirmed. Veronica let out a sigh of relief and hugged her BFF. She had really needed someone to support her. Everyone seemed to be against her relationship with Logan, that was until he had told them that they were dead to him unless they accepted it.

After Veronica had pulled back from the hug she complained with no end about the Logan's-not-birthday-surprise-party and Wallace had been fairly sympathetic to his BFF throughout her rants and ravings on the evening but there came a point where his soft comforting words just did not get the message across to her.

Veronica pulled back from the hug and admitted, "It's like everyone wants us to be enemies, you know? No one thinks it's real or that we really do like each other and even Duncan, he just walked out."

Wallace let out a sigh of frustrated and he stood up as he exclaimed, "Who the hell cares what everybody else thinks?" Veronica's eyes widened at his sudden burst of aggressiveness. This was very out of character for her BFF so she knew that he meant business. "Look into your heart, do whatever makes you happy." Despite his loud voice, his words were very much 'Wallace'. When Veronica was still silent, Wallace began to look fed up and he walked out of the room and swung the door shut. The sound caused Veronica to snap out of her trance so when the door creaked open she saw her BFF re-emerge. "I'm sorry was that too much?"

"Uhmm," She pretended to think it through and remarked, "aggressive but to the point, a bit mushy in a tough guy facade kind of way, direct, curse words, yelling, dramatic exit," she paused for a moment and then a bright smile broke out on her face. "I never thought I'd see this day, my little Wally is growing up, I'm so proud!" She dramatically sighed in an overly emotional fashion and dove to engulf him in a bear hug.

Wallace's slightly curve in a grin; he is pleased that he had taken Veronica Mars by surprise for once. "I'm serious, why do you, Veronica Mars care what anybody else thinks? If this is something you really want, why give a damn a about those people, who have done nothing but make your life hell? And if Logan has changed and wants you happy he shouldn't give a damn either."

Veronica stayed silent for a moment and then tilted her head as she questioned, "When did you get so insightful?"

"When you got blinded by love," he retorted.

Veronica was taken aback by Wallace's words. Love? Where had that come from?

"I'm not in love," She briskly denied.

"Yeah, you wouldn't be acting like this if you weren't," he pointed out. He had never seen Veronica behave more than a normal girl than she had now. For once she wanted advice on relationships.

Am I in love with Logan Echolls? Veronica thought. It felt too soon. She had known him since they were twelve and there had always been some emotion either friendly or filled with animosity but they had never explored a romantic side to their relationship until now.

"Gosh Wally is girl talk over, do you want me to do your nails now?" She snarked, despite her girly conversation, Veronica felt uncomfortable with her feelings especially when her feelings seemed to be feeling too much, too soon.

"I don't think that would be much fun, I don't have as much to gossip about as you do," Wallace playfully countered. It was nice to be with Veronica and actually hang out and be somewhat normal rather than be playing Scooby Doo all the time, not that he minded but it was refreshing.

"Oh are we playing Gossip Girl? I am so Blair!" She claimed with fake cheerfulness. Blair is totally badass. Veronica thought. Yip, I'd definitely be Blair Waldolf

"Well I ain't gonna be the small white chick," Wallace shook his head as he played along.

"Hey she's petite not small," she defended both herself and Blair. "Would you rather be a tall black chick?" She countered.

He pretended to think about it for a second. "Nah, I ain't no chick," he answered in a wanna be ghetto voice 'cause he's from 'the hood'.

"But if you were a chick, you would totally wanna be Blair," she wiggled her eyebrows as she tempted him in her sweet valley high voice.

"If I were, which I am not, I would play..." He frowned as he noticed the mischievous glint in her eye. "Nah, none of them girls."

"So you're a Nate or Chuck?" Veronica felt her curiosity peak up.

"These white boys ain't got anything on me," he buffed out his chest for dramatic effect; he's really supporting the arts today, isn't he? He should be named Drama King... Wait I think Logan owns that title, Wallace can be Drama Prince.

"Of course they don't but you have to choose."

"Well Chuck is out of the question," he simply stated as he used his fingers to count the characters.

"Why? What's wrong with Chuck?" She pouted. Chuck is my favourite along with Blair, so of course I'm a bit alert by my bff's choice of disregarding him so easily.

"Logan's Chuck," he simply stated.

Well that was unexpected.

"Says who?" She lifted an eyebrow. Logan doesn't even watch Gossip Girl, does he?

"If you're Blair he is definitely Chuck, Why is Dan not in the option?" Huh surprisingly I'm happy with that answer... Chuck and Blair are my favourite TV couple or whatever.

"His sister is Jenny and I refuse to be Jenny, little bro. Guess you're stuck with Nate, you're lucky, he's athletic," she replied with seriousness washed over her face.

"Girl you're crazy," Wallace laughed at her expression.

"You know you love me," she smiled charmingly.
