This one takes place about a year later. This story will contain a ton of time-jumps, so be prepared. And for anyone worried, Dick, Leo, Madison and some other characters will show up eventually. This is just me paying tribute to Veronica and Logan's growth. Enjoy!

"I don't understand why you're so mad."

"Are you kidding me?! Most people show up to parent-teacher conferences and hear about how great their children are. But no, we go and I hear all about this girl you fucked and dumped."

Veronica was shrieking and storming around the kitchen.

"Are you pissed because I had sex with her? Or are you pissed because someone caught you off guard and it made you feel out of control?"

"You had sex with our daughters' teacher! I shouldn't have to explain why I'm not pleased with you right now."

"Veronica, it was before we were married. We were broken up. It was ten years ago. I don't even know why she still holds a grudge. Can we just discuss what this is really about?"

"You're right." Veronica replied, resigned, the anger leaving her voice.

"Can you say that again?" Logan asked, smiling, "I must not have heard that right. Because it kind of sounded like Veronica Mars admitted she was wrong. But that couldn't have been possible, could it?"

"Oh wipe that stupid grin off your face. I said it once, I won't say it again."

As annoyed as she sounded, she was now smiling too. But after a moment Logan dropped his smile and pulled Veronica close.

"Now tell me what's actually bothering you V." he said soothingly.

"I just... I don't want to be the duped wife. I don't like hearing these kinds of things from other people. I can't take it when they act like I'm the stupid woman who doesn't know who she married. They think you're still screwing around. I just wish you had told me so I wouldn't have just stood there dumbstruck."

Logan sighed. It was just a new version of the same argument they'd been having since college. Of course, now they couldn't just break up when they fought. Marriage and parenthood had done wonders for their communication.

"This is about you not trusting me."

This time, Veronica sighed. Logan could always see right through her, and had grown to be extremely perceptive about their problems.

"We have two options here. You can believe that part of me is in the past and you can ignore whatever that woman, who I might add I didn't realize until she said it was the same girl I had sex with once, thinks about our marriage. That requires that you trust me. Or you can ask me to list out every woman I've had sex with, find them and make sure I'm not lying and that I've never cheated on you. Because I'll do it if that's what you need. Just remember, that list is not short and it is not pretty. There are things I've done and people I've been with in my past that would only upset you. So the question is, do you trust me or not?"

He had barely finished when Veronica began her answer.

"I trust you. Let's just forget about Ms. Tallman." she kissed him then continued, "I can think of better things to do than argue.

They smiled at each other, making their way to their bedroom eager as a pair of teenagers, their fight already far from their minds.
