A/N: I have rewritten the first chapter on A Change Of Plans and this time I will be updating! If you read my fic Rewritten, I don't know when I will be updating, so if you have any suggestions for that one, let me know.

In this version of season 2, Logan doesn't sleep with Kendall, Meg is alive and not pregnant, and Keith and Alicia stay together!

Veronica Mars was approaching her senior year of high school. Despite all the bad stuff that had gone on the end of her junior year and into the summer, she was happy. She had a boyfriend who cared about her and who she, in return, also cared about. Little did she know things were about to come crashing down.

Veronica and Logan were walking on the beach, hand in hand, after spending a blissful day of fun in the sun. As much as he tried to hide it from her, Veronica noticed Logan's heavy mood throughout the day.

"Logan, what's wrong?" Veronica asked, stopping Logan and facing him.

Logan hung his head then looked into Veronica's eyes. While hers shone concern, his were saddened.

"We can't see each other anymore, Veronica," Logan said. He saw it as ripping a band aid off quickly. Rather than drawing out breaking up with her, he wanted to get it over with. He didn't want to break up with her. It was the last thing he wanted to do, but he had to. After the other night when they were shot at in his car, he realized he can't put her in danger any longer. The PCHers won't be forgetting about the murder of Felix Tombs anytime soon, and as long as their suspicion of him being the killer hangs over his head, Veronica is in danger.

"Wh-what? Why?" Veronica asked, shocked. She felt tears stinging her eyes and she fought against them.

"Just being around me puts you in danger. I can't let anything happen to you. If I lost you…I don't know what I would do. You're pretty much all I have left. And after the shooting the other night…I can't risk you being hurt because of me," Logan said.

Veronica looked down at her feet, trying to hide the few stray tears that wouldn't stay at bay. Logan lifter her chin with his finger and wiped her tears away.

"I'm not exactly weak, Logan. I can take care of myself. We don't have to break up," Veronica pleaded with him, looking into his eyes, breaking his heart more than it already had.

"I know. You're the strongest person I know," Logan gave her a small smile.

"Then why can't we-," Veronica tried pleading again, but was interrupted by Logan.

"Please!" Logan raised his voice. When he saw Veronica jump and look a little frightened, he softened. "Please, Veronica, don't make this any harder than it has to be. I don't want to break up with you-."

"Then don't!"

"-But if I don't and you get hurt…I won't forgive myself," Logan pushed her hair out of her face. Tears stung his eyes, but he tried to hide them for Veronica's sake. "Let me take you home. I don't want your dad worrying about you." Logan kissed the top of her head and led her to his car to take her home.

That was over a month ago, and I still can't get over the fact that Logan Echolls and I aren't together. I fell completely in love with him…okay, maybe not completely, but I was starting to. Now I have to spend the day with him. I have to be reminded of what I can't have just because of Weevil and the stupid PCHers. It's going to be hard to ignore Logan, but lucky for me, I am a master of avoidance.

Veronica stepped on the bus and sat by herself in the back. Being apart of the Neptune Navigator, Veronica had the opportunity to go on a field trip to Shark Field. The only reason Veronica was going was because she knew Terrence Cook was going to be there.

I don't think dad would forgive me if I didn't go meet Terrence Cook when I had the opportunity.

Veronica avoided Logan's gaze as he walked on to the bus. She was relieved when he took a seat next to Dick and Cassidy in the middle of the bus. Duncan and Meg made their way onto the bus, sharing a look of concern for their two heartbroken friends. Meg gave Duncan a look saying "I'll take Veronica, you take Logan." Duncan nodded and took a seat next to Logan while Meg made her way to the back of the bus and sat next to Veronica.

"You okay Veronica?" Meg asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Veronica tried to assure her.

"No you're not," Meg said seeing through Veronica's façade.

"Don't worry about me. I survive, I always do," Veronica shrugged, sinking down in her seat and looking out the window.

"You know, you don't always have to be so strong. It's okay to break down and cry when you're hurting," Meg told her.

"Who said I was hurting?" Veronica said, putting on a smile.

"Okay, nothing is wrong, you are just fine," Meg said, matching her smile. "Thanks again for getting me back on the cheerleading squad."

"Yeah, 'cause we all know before practice you like to go smoke up behind the bleachers," Veronica laughed.

"Yeah you know it was really affecting my performance too. I was like 'let's go, let's go! L-E-T-S…duh…umm," Meg cheered.

Both girls broke out in laughter.

Logan and Duncan looked to the back of the bus to see the girls they loved laughing and joking around. Duncan looked at Logan and saw the love and pain in his eyes when he looked at Veronica.

Dick interrupted everyone by shouting, "MS. DUMBASS?" The bus went silent watching the exchange between Dick and the teacher.

"It's Dumazz, Dick," she said.

"Well, my name is pronounced Re-Shard and it stinks back here. I think someone died," he complained.

"You're free to sit closer to the front," Ms. Dumazz said, gesturing to the free seats around her.

"That's okay. I don't think it's gonna help. Thanks anyway," Dick said returning to the conversation with his friends.

Veronica was relieved when they arrived at Shark Field. For one, the bus really did smell like someone died, and two, she was tired of Logan turning around every two minutes to look at her.

Meg and Veronica sat together in the back of the group as Woody Goodman talked about running for mayor and introduced his daughter Gia Goodman. They couldn't help but roll their eyes when Gia talked about not trying to make a statement with her outfit and it being just a new kid blend in thing.

Once the speech was over, the group headed to another room where a buffet was set up. Veronica stood with Meg and Duncan while they dished up food and ate.

"It's like, you know, what Willie Wonka would be like if he owned his own professional baseball team," Duncan commented while piling food on his plate.

"You never played little league?" Veronica asked.

"Oh, well, Mom was afraid a ball would hit me in the face. Dad was afraid it would interfere with Mock UN. And I was afraid I couldn't hit a curve ball," he said.

"I'm afraid you're gonna get love handles if you eat all that," Meg threw in.

"I have an excellent metabolism," Duncan said, leaning down to kiss her.

"Okay, that's my signal to walk away before all this lovey doveyness makes me throw up," Veronica said, taking a step away from the couple.

Duncan and Meg pulled away from each other. "Sorry," Meg said blushing.

Duncan also had a slight blush on his cheeks. "Hey, I'm gonna go talk to the guys. You two, stay out of trouble," Duncan said giving Meg one last peck on the cheek, then walking away.

Veronica laughed at the couple. She was happy they were happy. After Aaron threw Logan's surprise party last year, and Logan and Veronica's relationship was ousted, Duncan and Meg broke up. Duncan thought he wasn't over Veronica, but when Veronica sat down with him and talked to him, they realized any love they did have were for each other was simply because they had been each other's first loves. Duncan wasn't in love with Veronica, but he loved her, just as Veronica did him. Duncan made it up to Meg and explained everything and confessed he was in love with her, not Veronica. The two made up and have been happy since.

I wouldn't be surprised if they already started living their happily ever after.

"Oh, check it out," Veronica said, breaking away from her thoughts. She pointed to the buffet table where Terrence Cook was dishing up a plate of food.

Meg followed to were Veronica was looking. "Who is that?" she asked.

"Terrence Cook, my dad's all time favorite player," Veronica said.

"You should go get his autograph from him," Meg said.

Before they could make their way over there, Duncan and Dick stopped them. "Hey, we're not taking that stink-ass bus back to Neptune. My dad's sending a limo. Would you guys like to take a trip back in style? Miss Dumbass said it was cool," Dick said.

Meg looked at Duncan, who she knew already agreed to go. "I'm in."

Veronica glanced at Logan. "As tempting as that sounds, I think I will stick to the bus," she said. Meg's face fell, but she under stood.

"You sure?" she asked.

"Yeah," Veronica nodded her head, and smiled.

Dick rejoined Logan and Cassidy who were talking to Gia and a couple of other kids. Duncan stayed behind with Meg and Veronica.

"Hey, Veronica, it's Terrence Cook," Duncan said, nudging her towards him. Duncan had heard Keith Mars talk about Terrence a lot over the years and he knew Keith wouldn't forgive his daughter if she didn't introduce herself to him.

"Excuse me, Mr. Cook?" Veronica asked walking over to him.

"Yes, ma'am," Terrence said turning his attention to Veronica.

"I just wanted to say, you are my dad's favorite baseball player ever. He keeps your rookie card vacuum-sealed inside a safe," Veronica told him.

"Well, that is an honor. You tell him thanks for me," Terrence said, shaking Veronica's hand.

"When my dad finds out about this, he's not gonna let me wash this hand," Veronica said pointing to their shaking hands. Duncan, Meg, and Terrence laughed at Veronica's joke.

"So, who's your favorite ball player?" Terrence asked her.

Meg and Veronica turned to each other smiling. Meg may not follow baseball, but she knows a hot guy when she sees one.

"Come on, tell him. Be honest," Duncan said to the girls.

"It's Johnny Damon, isn't it?" Terrence asked.

"He's so pretty," they said in unison.

They continued to talk to Terrence for a little while longer. From across the room, Logan watched Veronica smile and talk to Terrence, Meg, and Duncan. He rarely saw a genuine smile cross her face anymore. He was happy to see her smiling again. He missed her so much, it almost hurt.

"Excuse me everyone!" Ms. Dumazz said loudly, getting everyone's attention. "If you are taking the bus back to Neptune, we are leaving now, so be on the bus or we are leaving without you."

"That's my queue to go," Veronica said. "It was nice meeting you Mr. Cook."

"You too, Veronica," Terrence said.

Veronica walked onto the bus and sat by herself. Not many people were left riding the bus. Only those whose parents don't make millions.

On the way back the bus stopped at a gas station.

"Five minutes, people," Ms. Dumazz said, getting off the bus.

Veronica walked into the mini-mart and bought a bottle of water. Out of the corner of her eye she could have sworn she saw Lilly.

"Come on, Dorkus," she heard Lilly whisper.

Veronica walked around the corner of the store and saw Weevil tinkering with her bike.

"What are doing here, huh?" Weevil asked.

"I'm safe standing here, right? I mean you're not going to shoot me, are you?" Veronica asked.

"So, did you like your taste? Your little year of living dangerously? Did you get your fill? As soon as they'll have you back, you go running to the 09ers. And as a little bonus, you give it up to the richest guy in school. Wow. Well, I'm sure his sheets are clean," Weevil snipped back.

"You don't know anything about me, and you don't know anything about him," Veronica snapped back. She paused for a moment. "It doesn't matter anyway. Because of your stupid gang's stunts, he broke up with me." Veronica fought the tears that stung her eyes. She couldn't show Weevil that when it came to Logan she was weak.

Weevil softened thinking of how he felt for Lilly. "All I know is someone killed Felix and the only clue I have as to who did, is Logan."

"And how would he have done it Weevil? Six guys jumped him. They broke his ribs. They gave him a concussion. And yet he somehow managed to wrestle away one of their knives and stab Felix? You didn't see it. You were out cold," Veronica explained, getting angry.

Weevil, fed up with Veronica's accusations, got on his bike and rode off. When Veronica turned around to go back to the bus, it was pulling out of the gas station and onto the road.

Veronica pulled out her phone and just as she was about to dial Wallace, Weevil pulled back into the gas station.

"Hop on," was all he said.

Veronica gave him a small smile and took the helmet Weevil offered her.

As they rode down the highway back to Neptune, they saw smoke billowing into the sky from the edge of the cliff. They saw the 09er limo stopped on the edge of the road. People ran to the edge of the cliff too see where the smoke was coming from. Weevil stopped next to the limo. Veronica handed him his helmet and ran to the edge.

As she passed, Gia was crying, saying "It just went straight off the cliff. It didn't even slow down. They're all dead."

Veronica looked over the edge of the cliff. All she could see was debris floating in the water. She only noticed she was crying. She had sunk to her knees and tears from thinking she could have been on the bus, and from the break up with Logan, ran down her cheeks.

"Veronica!" she heard someone shout over and over again. She turned to see Dick and Duncan holding Logan back from going over the cliff. Logan hadn't seen Veronica yet and thought she had been on the bus.

"LOGAN!" Duncan yelled trying to get him to listen.

Veronica looked at the three men struggling and got up to help them.

"Logan?" she said timidly walking over to him.

When he noticed her, relief flooded his features. Logan pulled away from Dick and Duncan and ran to Veronica. He took her in his arms and hugged her like his life depended on it.

"I thought you were on the bus. I thought you were dead," he cried into Veronica's hair.

"I didn't get on, it left without me," Veronica assured him, hugging him fiercely to her.

"I love you so much," Logan said tightening his arms around her.

"I love you too. I love you too," Veronica cried into his chest.

Police and news reporters were starting to arrive. Everyone standing around the bus crash was stunned.

If I had been thirty seconds faster talking to Weevil, I would have been on that bus.

Veronica held on to Logan tighter.

Looks like even being broken up with Logan, Veronica can't stay out of trouble.
