A/N: Just another scene I wished had been in the original show. Sometimes it doesn't take a big prank to put someone in his place. This one is just from Logan's point of view. Set in Season One before Logan and Veronica get together.

Logan walks beside Duncan towards the Quad for lunch. As usual Duncan doesn't have much to say. Wondering what he can do to snap his friend out of the total funk he has been in since Lilly died, Logan is also quiet.

Suddenly Duncan's shoulders start to shake and then he starts to laugh.

Logan looks at his friend in surprise and then follows his hand wave to look up the hall. Dick is walking beside Madison ahead of them.

Not understanding what was causing Duncan's amusement Logan frowns at his friend. Duncan chokes out, "Look at Dick's pants."

Logan looks back at Dick and sees he has a brown stain on the back of his tight jeans. The stain is in a very strategic spot and looks suspiciously like he had a bathroom accident.

Dick is waving his left arm as he talks and he has his right arm around Madison. Logan smirks.

He asks, "Do you think we should tell Dick?"

Duncan immediately shakes his head and says, "Let Veronica have her fun."

Stiffening Logan says, "You think Veronica did this?"

Still laughing a little, Duncan reminds his friend. "Remember when Lilly would put those mini chocolate bars in the sun and then cut the top off and put them down on our chairs?"

Logan does remember. The heated bar was small enough that you didn't feel it when you sat down and the melted bar did not soak through the jean material so you were unaware it was there. He smiles a little as he thinks about how hard Lilly laughed at DK when he had the brown stain on his pants. Lilly had insisted that Logan not tell Duncan. It had been Veronica who had gently got her boyfriend to go and change his pants. She had never let DK or him go out in public with the stain. Logan thinks that Lilly would have definitely let them go to school or the mall with the stain on their jeans. She would have taken pictures and laughed and enjoyed every second of their discomfort.

Duncan says, "Everyday in class Dick sits right next to Veronica and harasses her the whole class." He shakes his head and says, "He steals her paper and pencils. He pushes her book off her desk and throws things at her."

He sighs and little and says, "Today she sat there smirking as he plopped into the seat beside her and tried to bother her."

He shakes his head as he finishes the story. "I knew by her smile she had done something but I didn't know what until now."

Logan frowns as he doesn't like that Veronica got Dick back and he definitely doesn't like his best friend's tone of almost admiration.

Duncan looks at Logan and says, "Dick has done a lot worse to her."

"She deserves it though." Logan maintains.

His shoulders slump and Duncan says, "Just leave her be Logan. You aren't proving anything by hurting her."

He fades back into his quiet funk again.

Logan decides not to do anything about Dick's pants. Soon enough someone will tell him and it will be fun to tease him about it for a few weeks.

They walk into the Quad behind Dick and Madison. Logan notices the smirks and laughter when people notice the stain on Dick's pants. Some kids even take pictures on their phone.

Logan walks with Dick and sits down at his usual table. He looks around the Quad noting the 09ers sitting in their regular spots in the middle with the other students filling in around them. It's the proper order of things. The rich with their privileges taking their rightful place and the others who can't compete sit on the sidelines.

Absently he listens to the talk about shopping, new cars, holidays. Talk others in the quad wouldn't understand. It's the talk of the really wealthy. It's not talk of dreams of someday owning or having what you want. It's the talk of people who just buy what they want; only the best of course. It's what they deserve. They deserve it because they were born to it. They don't need a reason. It just is.

John is telling the guys that he had the car to the dealership again and they still can't find the source of the awful smell in his new car. He is truly upset. He loves his new toy and he can't drive it. He tells Casey that it is the fourth time he has had the car in to have it checked. He is asking his father to buy him a new car even though this one is only a month old. Casey dryly says, "Maybe it's you."

The guys all laugh. John is not happy.

Logan listening wonders if Veronica is behind John's troubles. John is the one who has been scratching slut into her car paint every week. She is the only one in the school who would try and get back at one of the 09ers. It has to be her. He wonders what she put in his car that the mechanics can't find.

Beav tells Logan that when he is in computer club, the talk around the school is how much they all admire Veronica. They won't go against the 09ers and talk to her or be friends with her but they all admire how she has gone against the 09ers and how she is holding her own. Logan hears the talk of her being an amateur PI and solving cases for some of the students in the school.

Logan hates that anyone would admire her. There is nothing about her to admire. She is a liar and she turns on her friends. Logan has spent considerable time making sure that Veronica has no support, no friends, nothing in the school. She deserves to be scorned. She deserves to be hated. She deserves to be alone, hated and friendless.

Lately though Veronica has not been alone. Logan looks over and sees Veronica arrive at her table with that black kid she cut down from the pole. The talk around the school is that she got the PCHers to leave him alone. They certainly helped her out when he was knocking the lights out on that piece of junk she drives. His nose still hurts from the punch Weevil gave him. Logan remembers how she told Weevil she didn't want his apology. She had been protecting him. Weevil would have gladly punched him until he apologized. None of his 09er friends would have gone against the PCHers. There were so many of them and only a few 09ers. Logan knows he could have gotten a good beating that day but Veronica had protected him. He had left with his friends. He had not felt good about leaving her there with the biker gang but he didn't know what else to do.

He had looked for her the next day and she looked fine. He didn't want to admit it but he had been worried.

Logan frowns as he thinks about how many flat tires she has repaired and how often she has had her car in for repairs. Word around the school is that Weevil's uncle is doing the repairs for her. The guys have been guessing what she has to do for Weevil and the PCHers to pay for the repairs.

Logan knows Veronica is not sleeping with them but he does wonder how she can afford to fix her car so often. He wonders about her relationship with the gang leader. They seem to get along. Logan has also seen her hanging with that computer nerd with the blue streaks in her hair. Now she has that kid that plays basketball as her friend.

He looks back over and sees him show her a box decorated in school colors. He opens the box and offers her a cookie. Even from across the quad Logan can see they are snicker doodles. He almost smiles as he realizes that Veronica is making spirit boxes for her friend. Logan watches as the guy's face gets blissful as he eats one. He remembers how wonderful her house smelled when she baked them and how he and DK would fight over them when she brought them to school.

As he watches he sees she is smiling at him as he shoves cookie after cookie into his mouth. Logan can see he is finding them delicious.

Veronica has that half smiling, half exasperated look on her face. Logan remembers she had that look a lot when she was around him and Lilly.

He looks over and sees his best friend is watching Veronica has well. He rarely shows any emotion but when he does, it usually has something to do with Veronica Mars. Logan doesn't understand why Duncan would still care about her. She betrayed and hurt his family. She's not worth their thoughts or time. She is a user. She was with them for the money and status. She never cared.

He had tortured her and isolated her but now she has friends at school. She is getting good grades and she is making money as an amateur investigator. Logan ponders what to do about her.
