A/N: I added a backstory in the first chapter for people starting it from there, but for those continuing I'm gonna add it here, just in case.
A/N reg. Backstory: Veronica is from Santa Monica and a Junior at Hearst. She and Lily were assigned as roommates, so there was no fab four. Also, non-canon S3
A/N 2: I accept constructive criticism since this is my first story and such, so please feel free to PM me! Also thank you to those you have reviewed/favorited/followed this story! :)
A/N 3: I wanted to post this hours ago, but ff was down. But alas here is the next chapter!

Lily and Veronica made their way through the mass of bodies in the Pi Sigma Sigma house to find their friends when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her into a hug. Lifting her head, she was greeted with Casey's face and turned her body to give him a proper hug.

"Casey!" Veronica said with a big smile on her face, happy to be in the company of her friends.

"Hey V, don't you look gorgeous tonight. Looking to impress someone tonight?"

Veronica grinned at her friend's comment. "Possibly. So what's this I hear about you and Lily?"

Casey looked shocked for a moment until Veronica raised her hand to stop whatever works were going to leave his mouth. "Yes I know and no I don't want an explanation. You can make amends of not telling me in the first place by getting me a drink though," Veronica said giving Casey her signature dazzling smile.

"This way ladies," Casey replied leading the ladies to the bar and kegs.

"Looks like Lily went to mingle, so it's just this lady Case."

Casey shrugged and continued to lead the way. "So are you going to wait for me to ask or would you like to explain?"

Veronica roller her eyes. "I don't see why it's a big deal that I'm out without guys at a party for once."

Casey gave her a look that everyone seemed to be giving her lately and waved it off. "Hush, so for once in my life I'm out with you guys drinking, sue me. Now go make me something fruity."

"Ah Veronica! I feel like I haven't seen you in forever!" Meg gushed as she made her way towards her friends with Duncan behind her in tow.

"Meg! Duncan!" Veronica said as she hugged the both of them before taking another sip from her red cup.

Veronica wasn't one to go to parties, but she needed this. She needed to go out and have fun with her friends. Veronica also wasn't one to drink, but Casey made her requested fruity drink really pretty enjoyable.

"So, catch me up with your life. We haven't talked in like what, about a week? Lily told me about Piz," Meg said with a small smile and rubbed Veronica's shoulder reassuringly.

"There's not much to say. Well for once, I am surprisingly case free. Regarding the latter subject, uh Piz fell a girl that started at the station and plucked up the courage to break up with me."

"Well it's clearly his loss since you look amazing tonight," Duncan interjected.

Veronica gave a small smile. "Thanks DK. Anyway, wanna point out who's who for me?" Veronica asked as she looked at the unfamiliar faces that outnumber her small group of friends.

"Well this party's for my best friend, Logan Echolls, we basically grew up together. Uh I can't spot him," Duncan said as he turned his head in search for his friend," and I don't think you've ever been around whenever he hung out with us, but yea it's his birthday bash. His other best friend is the tall blonde over there, Dick Casablancas and the shorter brunette guy next to him is John Enbom." Veronica followed the direction Duncan's finger was pointing to the two guys.

"You already know at least of Shelly and Madison, they're the girls talking to Dick and Enbom. Shelly's the brunette and Madison's the blonde," Meg pointed out.

"Since you grew up with gazillionaires, why the hell is his party at a frat instead of his mansion?" Veronica asked Duncan.

Duncan laughed,"Dick said and I quote,'Logan if we have the party at the frat it'll be a bitchin' party plus you won't have to worry about undesirables' or something along those lines. I tend to tune out Dick's nonsense, he's not exactly the brightest."

Before they could continue their game, Lily rejoined the group after making her round of hello's, "Doesn't V look insanely hot?" Lily asked with a grin. "Enough drinking Veronica, that's like your third cup already. Let's go dance and show you off!" Lily plucked the red cup out of Veronica's hand and dragged her and Meg towards the dance floor.

Veronica couldn't remember the last time she had fun with her girl friends as she was sandwiched between Lily and Meg. Their bodies were grinding on each others to the music with alcohol intoxicating their bodies, but none of that mattered to her because above all she was having the most fun she's had in a long time.

As a new song began, Meg left the Veronica sandwich to dance with Duncan, so Lily took that as an opportunity to possessively grab Veronica's body from behind into hers and grinded hard against it. Lily's focused shifted from Veronica's body to a tall brunette boy standing underneath the archway of the room. She noticed when he licked his lips as his eyes traveled down Veronica's body before taking anything drink. She lost her focus when Veronica threw her head back in laughter and pushed Lily away.

"Veronica, what're you doing? I was having fun having my way with you and your smoking body!"

"I was having fun too, but I need a bathroom break," Veronica replied smiling at her friend as she tried to calm down her breathing and fanned herself from the heat.

"It's upstairs, don't keep us waiting too long. Especially since chocolate eyes over there is practically eye fucking you." Lily followed Veronica's line of sight towards the guy she had mentioned and noticed when she licked her lips as she made her way to the stairs.

Veronica made eye contact with said "chocolate eyes" that Lily pointed out and subconsciously licked her lips as she herself checked him out.

So there he was, Logan Echolls, standing no more than 20 feet away from her as she moved through the crowd to get to the upstairs bathroom. Was she actually checking her out like Lily said? No, no. She thought as she shook her head. Especially since she knew he was Duncan's best friend.

Surprised that there was a decent line, she was left to her thoughts. Veronica knew she was pretty but she wasn't like the other girls that normally go to these type of parties. Plus, she didn't have Lily's charm and confidence. Tonight should be the night that changes that, just a one time thing of course. Veronica Mars was not a floozy, but she mulled over Lily's teasing statement. Maybe Lily was right, maybe tonight and just tonight I can just have fun.

"So who's your friend?" Lily heard from behind her. She turned away from the conversation Shelly and Madison were having and saw her ex-boyfriend leaning against the drink counter bringing another sip to his lips.

"Well if it isn't Logan Echolls. You like?" Lily replied with a smirk and crossed her arms. "Isn't this party in your honor? Where's your bimbo of the night?"

"I am as you said, the 'guest of honor' so to speak and let's just say that tonight I'm looking for the royal treatment instead of some everyday commoner."

Lily pouted her lip before smiling, "No can do Logan, Princess Lily is off the market in the sex buddy department."

"You? A princess? Last time I checked, you were under 'peasant' in my book. Anyway back to my question about your friend."

"She's hott right? I brought her here tonight since she's on the market again, thank God. She went upstairs to take a bathroom break. Have fun." Lily gave him her signature wicked grin and made her way across the room towards Casey.

Logan chugged the rest of his drink and started to make his way towards the upstairs bathroom.

A/N 3: So there's your tiny tease of Logan! Don't worry, I promise promise you will receive what you're all begging to read soon.
