Takes place directly after Dinner for Two Many, because it always slightly bugged me that Quinn and Logan helped fix Zoey and James' date, when all along their's was the one that was really being interrupted. So I fixed that. Also, I am convinced that James knew about them. He just looks so suspicious, way more suspicious than anyone else over everything. Plus, I feel like he is smart enough (and not blinded by his upsetness like Zoey) to notice that Quinn supposedly came to Vaccaro on her own, with five lobsters, and was sitting at a table for two.

Also, I've been rewatching season three and I kind of want to Quogan-ify each episode. Should I?


The truth is, Logan knows (well he's learning from Quinn) that girls do like to be told sweet things like James' "That you were adorable" comment, even after they've started dating you.

The truth is, Quinn knows (she's always known) that it's not really a good idea to talk about so much scientific stuff when out on a date, particularly the gross things like lobster cannibalism and the types of algae that crabs eat.

The truth is, they are both just really annoyed at James and Zoey and then Michael and Lola (although the latter two were technically Logan's fault) for ruining their date, especially since Zoey seems to be so upset that they are ruining hers.

Quinn sighs as the group (now with Coco) is forced out of Vaccaro. She feels just a little bit bad at acting so childish, but she can't help but be a little resentful. After all, it's much easier for James and Zoey to get some nice romantic alone time, they can ask for it.

Logan, standing next to her (not too close so they don't raise suspicion), can sense how upset she is. He tries to catch her eye and once he does he smiles weakly. He's already trying to figure out how he can make up this disaster of a date to her when he suddenly remembers something. He catches her eye again and this time he grins.

"I should probably go back and pay." He tells everyone, partly because it's the truth and partly because he's hoping Quinn will catch on to what he's actually saying.

She doesn't disappoint. She pretends to gasp in shock and quickly says, "Me too!"

No one questions this since Logan had promised to pay for Michael and Lola's food and everyone assumes that Quinn had decided to order five lobsters on her own. They both look back at the restaurant and Logan is trying to figure out how to get everyone to leave without them (and without seeming suspicious) when Quinn turns back to the group and says:

"Why don't you guys go ahead without us? It's packed in there and probably still crazy from that whole situation. Who knows how long it could take us to pay."

They all look unsure about this and Lola asks, "Well how will you get home?"

"Don't worry," they all turn to Logan, "I'll just pay for a cab to take us back." He doesn't mention that the silver convertible he bought last year is still sitting in the parking lot (his dad gave it back to him once he'd gotten his driver's license).

They all glance at him suspiciously, but they're all also used to Logan beginning to do nice things on more than a rare occasion so they all shrug it off and agree. Except for James, who doesn't say anything (and is giving them the same suspicious look he's been giving them since they tried to convince Michael they still hated each other almost three months ago).

They say good-bye to their friends and head into the restaurant (Quinn makes sure to call him a jerk while they're still in hearing range, just to be safe). It's fairly easy to bribe the host into letting them back into the restaurant, especially since Coco is gone.

As they sit down to enjoy the rest of their meal (which fortunately hasn't been cleaned up yet), Quinn grins at him from across the table.

"What?"

"Nothing," She laughs slightly, "it's just you've had two really good ideas in as many days. That might be a record."

He pretends to pout so she leans over and kisses him (even though she totally knows he's just pretending).

His face is serious when she pulls away. "I think we may need to talk to James. I'm pretty sure he knows."

Quinn nods in agreement, looking a little bit worried. "Yeah, you're probably right."

He smirks and really wants to say something about how he always right (and he's had two great ideas in as many days on top of that) but Quinn looks nervous so he just reaches across the table and grabs her hand, giving it a gentle and reassuring squeeze.

"But for now, let's just enjoy the rest of our date."

The smile she gives him is worth all the trouble they had that night and all the trouble they might run into tomorrow with James.


They're sitting in the lounge wondering what the best way to approach James is when the answer literally walks up to them in to form of Michael and Lola.

"Guys," Lola says as she sits next Quinn, "we have a problem."

"James told us that last night was supposed to be a special night for just him and Zoey." Michael explains at Quinn and Logan's confused (but not nervous, nope definitely not nervous) looks.

Logan raises an eyebrow. "So?" He still hasn't entirely forgiven any of them for ruining his date with Quinn.

"Well we need to do something to make it up to them!" Lola explains, "We totally ruined their night!"

Quinn shoots Logan a look (she just knows he wants to tell them off for ruining their night) so he keeps silent. "What should we do?" She asks instead (she kind of wants to tell them off too).

Michael grins, "We're going to give them their romantic dinner for two."

Lola perks up immediately at the idea. "Yeah! Michael will go cook the food and Vince is going to help me set up the table at the volleyball court. Since, you know, it's kind of like the beach."

They both stand up and look pointedly at Quinn and Logan. "Do you think you guys could manage to get along long enough to help us with this?"

Quinn can see Logan's patience wearing thin and his mouth open to speak (he still attends the anger management classes sometimes, so he's not completely cured) and cuts off whatever he might have said. "What do you need us to do?"

Lola and Michael both grin as he gives them their instructions. "Logan, go get James and make sure he dresses nicely."

"And Quinn, can you find Coco? We don't trust her to actually do anything, but she should probably apologize too."

"Sure." They watch their friends walk out of the room before turning to grin at one another.

"Shall we go pay a visit to James?"


James is only mildly surprised to find Quinn and Logan standing in front of him, looking nervous. He's had his suspicions about them for a while and judging by the frequent nervous glances they keep shooting each other, they're about to confirm what he's been thinking all along.

Or tell him that Zoey doesn't want to date him anymore. After last night he can't be sure.

"So…" He trails off, hoping that one of them will pick up the conversation. Neither of them do, though, so he sighs (he's clearly going to have to be the one to get the ball rolling)," is there something you guys wanted to tell me?'

They begin to both sputter and nothing that is coming out of their mouths makes any sense. Finally Logan manages to get out, "What do you want to know?"

Quinn looks at him, clearly not expecting him to say that. She doesn't try to cover for him though, which confirms James' suspicions. So he simply asks, "How long have you two been dating?"

They both flinch at the question (they've been bracing themselves for this, but they're still extremely nervous), before Quinn takes a deep breath and answers. "Three months."

James nods but doesn't seem surprised by her answer. "Okay, cool."

"Please don't tell anyone," Quinn all but begs him, Logan nods beside her in agreement, "we'll never hear the end of it if anyone else finds out."

"Of course. It's not my secret to tell anyways. If you guys don't want anyone to know then your secret is safe with me."

Identical looks of relief blossom over their faces and James grins knowingly as Logan slips his hand in Quinn's, not a trace of shame or embarrassment to be found in his features. "Thanks dude."

James nods. "Sure," he smirks at them, "but I should warn you, you guys are kind of obvious." The give him identical confused looks (James wonders if they practiced or if they really were just that in sync) so he elaborates. "You guys suddenly started going out of your way to have fights in front of us, and then suddenly Quinn is alone at Vaccaro? With five lobsters? I sort of figured you were there somewhere," he looks at Logan who smiles sheepishly, "after all, no one else can afford five lobsters from PCA."

He smirks at them. "Not to mention, Quinn was sitting at a table that was clearly set for two."

Quinn surprises him by wrapping him in a quick hug. "Thank you!" She beams at him after she lets go (he doesn't miss how Logan's hand quickly grabs hers again and he has to stop himself from smirking again).

"Anything else?" He asks them, sure that there can't be anymore surprises left.

"Actually," Logan replies, sharing a look with Quinn, "we need you to get dressed. You and Zoey have a date on the volleyball court."

oOo

After his date with Zoey, James thinks back to his conversation with Logan and Quinn and everything he's seen and heard from them in the past three months. He thinks that maybe one of the biggest reasons he was able to catch on to their secret was because he doesn't have the preconceived notions of either Logan or Quinn and how they interact that their other friends have.

But he's pretty sure that they'd all agree with him that Logan and Quinn, in some weird way, actually make a lot of sense (you know, once they'd finished laughing).


And that's the end of chapter three. Let me know what you think! As a humble fanfiction author, I live for feedback. :)

Also, I've got another Quogan fic in the works. Here's the summary:

Quinn gets dump-broken up with just before Spring Break, leaving her the only student on campus for vacation. That is, until Logan uncharacteristically offers to let her accompany him to his home in Santa Barbara. Now it's just the two of them for the week and if they can manage not to kill each other, they might just find exactly what they've both been looking for. Follows the series up until Alone at PCA then it's totally AU. Quogan.
