Disclaimer: Veronica Mars and all it's characters and situations are property of Rob Thomas and UPN/The CW. I do not own anything and will not make any profit from this story.

A/N: So basically where I'm going with this is taking plots from shows like Friends, Grounded For Life, Everybody Loves Raymond, My Wife And Kids, According To Jim, and other sitcoms in that genre and applying them to the VM universe. I felt like we need a change from all the angst and drama.

A/N: Some of you might recognize this as a plot from Friends.

A/N: I know it's short, and the next one will be longer and better. Pinky swear. xD


"Hey. Meg, I'm so sorry, the babysitter was late and Wallace had already left." Jackie said as she entered the coffee shop.

"It's alright. I know what it's like." Meg greeted her friend with a hug.

Jackie put her bag down and pulled up a chair.

"So, what's new?" She asked while grabbing a menu.

Meg was staring absentmindedly out the window.

"Meg." Jackie waved a hand in front of her face and snapped her fingers a couple of times.

Meg snapped out of it.

"What? Yeah, sorry. It's just... isn't that Logan?"

Jackie followed Meg's gaze. "Oh, yeah... huh. What's he doing here?"

"And with a blonde." Jackie added.

"Who's not Veronica." Meg supplied.

They couldn't believe he would cheat on Veronica. What with the baby coming and all that. And he loved her, adored her, was crazy about her.

"This isn't right." Meg said as she took out her cell phone.

"What are you doing?" Jackie whispered.

"Getting to the bottom of this." Meg replied firmly.

Jackie leaned in so she could listen along.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Logan. Jackie and I were just wondering if we could talk to you about a...a..."

"-baby shower." Jackie jumped in.

Meg mouthed 'baby shower?' to her friend. Jackie shrugged.

"What about it?" Logan asked wearily.

"We were thinking of doing a surprise baby shower for Veronica and were wondering if you'd like to join us, say now, to discuss the plans."

Logan sighed.

"Look, now's not a good time. I'm over at the studios, apparently the director can't even take one day off. Rain check?"

Meg was too occupied with her mouth hanging open to reply.

"Rain check." Jackie quickly supplied an answer.

"Bye."

Meg closed her phone and put it back in her bag.

"I cannot believe him." She said, outraged.

Jackie nodded her head in agreement.


"Do you think we should tell Veronica?" Meg asked. The ladies had gone back to the Kane residence and were now discussing their strategy.

"I don't know." Jackie replied truthfully.

Just then Duncan walked in.

"Duncan, if I saw Meg cheating on you, would you want to know?" Jackie asked him bluntly.

"Okay, and this is coming from where?" He asked, looking at Meg. She hit Jackie on the arm.

"It's nothing." She assured her husband.

Jackie rolled her eyes. "Hypothetical situation."

"Well, if you were a hundred percent sure, then yeah, I'd wanna know."

"Wanna know what?" Piz asked as he walked in. He and Duncan had become good friends over the years and hung out on occasion.

"Logan's cheating on Veronica." Meg blurted out. Jackie glared at her.

"Well, we think he is." Meg added quickly.

"We saw him get in the car with this blonde lady."

"Who was not Veronica." Jackie supplied.

Piz let out a low whistle.

"But he loves her." Duncan stated. Both women shrugged.


"So Mr. Echolls, what do you think?"

"I think it's a great space, not too far from home and it's close to the beach. It's definitely a step up from where the office is now."

The lady smiled at Logan.

"How did you find this Diana?" He asked, surveying the space closely.

"Well, the owner used to be an ex-boyfriend of mine, waaaay back, he knows I'm a realtor and called me. I thought it would be perfect for what you needed."

Logan nodded, still admiring the space.

"Plus it fit all your criteria. Nice, open space, big, good neighbourhood, not too far from where you live."

Logan turned to her when she was done talking and said with a grin, "It's perfect. I'll take it."

Diana smiled. "Great, I'll send over the paperwork."


The news of Logan's infidelity spread like wildfire among the group. Jackie told Wallace who told Mac, who told Dick, who was sworn to secrecy. Parker found out from Piz. The gang never shared the same view on anything, except for this time. One thing they all knew for sure is that none of them knew what to do.

"We have to tell her." Mac and Parker said at the same time.

"D'you think it's just for the sex?" Dick asked out loud and to no one in particular.

"Ew, Dick." Meg replied. Mac elbowed him in the stomach.

"No, from what I heard when I was roomies with Logan back in the good ol' Hearst day, Ronnie can get it on." He continued, oblivious to Meg's comment and Mac's elbow.

"Dick. Shut. Up." Mac said, this time stomping on his foot.

"Not in front of the kids, Mac." Dick chastised her.

"The kids are outside doofus." She retaliated.

"Can we get back on track here, please?" Wallace asked impatiently.

"Or I might just go over there and whoop Logan's ass right now." He made to stand up.

"Sit down." Jackie told him firmly.

"I think we should just tell her." Parker said.

The group was sitting in the Kanes' living room, everyone unsure of what to do with the information they had received.

"You guys are sure?" Piz asked.

Jackie and Meg nodded.

"We followed them to this building near the centre of town and they both went in and came out 45 minutes later lookin' real happy." Jackie said.

Dick snorted. "45 minutes? Logan? No way in hell."

Everyone turned to him and said at the same time, "Shut up!".

"Alright, alright, I know when to take a hint." Dick said, throwing his hands up in mock surrender.

"So, let's just get it over with." Duncan said.


They started bickering over who would ring the doorbell.

"It's now or never." Meg said. Wallace rang.

Veronica opened the door and was greeted with eight sombre faces.

"I didn't realize the intervention was today. I would've packed my suitcases." She deadpanned.

"Veronica, we have something to tell you." Wallace said as they all entered the living room.

"Okay..." She replied, a little confused.

Everyone was shooting each other nervous glances.

"If I wasn't so worried right now I might be laughing. What's wrong? Did someone die? Did something happen to Logan?"

"He's cheating on you." Parker blurted out.

Veronica's mouth hung open in shock.

"Wh- What?" She stuttered.

"Jackie and I saw him get in a car with this blonde lady, and when we asked him about it, he lied to us." Meg clarified gently.

"It must be some mistake. I'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation guys. I trust Logan."

"We follo-" Meg interrupted Veronica but was interrupted herself with the front door swinging open.

"Honey, I'm home." Logan said jokingly. He saw all of them in the living room.

"Hey, I didn't realize the intervention was today." He joked.

No one laughed.

"Okay, can someone tell me what's going on?" He asked, turning serious.

"I'll give you a clue. She's blonde, and it ain't Ronnie." Dick said, breaking the silence.

Veronica wasn't looking at Logan.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He replied.

"Oh, please. Don't pretend, Logan. Meg and I saw you with that blonde the other day."

Logan's eyes widened, comprehension dawning over him.

"Yeah, that's right. We were right across the street." Jackie said, taking a step towards him.

"I can expl-" Logan was cut off by Meg.

"And you went in a building and came out 45 minutes later."

Logan started to laugh.

Everyone glared at him except Veronica. She was still staring at the floor.

"What's so funny?" Piz asked.

"The- the lady you saw me with," He said, still laughing, "she's a realtor. She was showing me the place. Not anything else."

The whole group was silent and staring at Logan.

"Ha! 45 minutes... I knew it couldn't be." Dick said triumphantly. Mac elbowed him again in the stomach.

"Shut up. Got it." He said, gasping for air.

"I can't believe you guys think I'd cheat on Veronica." Meg and Jackie looked ashamed of themselves. Well, more ashamed than the rest.

"Well, you lied to us. What were we supposed to think?" Jackie asked him.

"Maybe, you could've asked me first. Then I could've told you, that I'm buying that office space for Veronica."

Veronica looked up for the first time since the conversation had started.

"She keeps saying how Mars Investigations is getting too small, but she doesn't have the time to go office hunting herself. Seeing how I finished filming a month ago, I thought I'd take it upon myself to find her a space. It was supposed to be a surprise."

He turned to look at Veronica. She looked him in the eye. "Surprise." He said.

She smiled at him. He moved towards her. "You didn't really think I'd cheat on you, did you?"

She shook her head. "Not unless they came to me with photographic proof." He kissed the top of her head.

"Thank you for the office." She said as she hugged him.

"Listen man, sorry we jumped to conclusions." Wallace said.

"Yeah, we're real sorry." Meg and Jackie said at the same time.

Logan waved it away. "It's okay. I know how it must've looked. And it proves that you guys are great friends, who wouldn't see another friend get hurt."

The group started to make their way to the door when Veronica said, "Oh, Dick. You were right. Logan and 45 minutes? No way."

Dick grinned.

"He can go longer." She said.

"Ew Ronnie. Too much information."

She grinned and saw Logan smirking. Mac laughed.

"That should shut him up for a while." She told Veronica as she exited the house.

Veronica closed the door and turned back to her husband.

"Hey, hubbie. How was your day?" She said.

"I got accused of cheating, same old, same old." He deadpanned.

Veronica's smile faded. "They were 'breaking the news' to me when you walked in." She told him.

"Did you believe them?" He asked her.

She shook her head. "No. I mean a part of me was scared, what if it turned out to be true, you know? But a bigger part of me knew it wasn't like that. I also knew that I should ask you about it before jumping to conclusions, I really am an adult, huh?" She smiled before leaning in to give him a kiss, which he happily reciprocated.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you." He replied.


I know it's short and I'm not very happy with it but I wanted to give you guys something. The next chapter will be better and longer. Kind of more a full 'episode'.
