AN. So here is another chapter. I really hope you are enjoying my little story. This chapter may be shorter than the others. Just because there was a lot less to work with for this episode.

Please Review.

*Disclaimer is in the first Chapter*


Episode 3- Meet John Smith

3rd Person

Hallway- Duncan and Logan looking at Troy and Veronica.

"That girl is seriously wak." Logan said quietly as Veronica passed by into the bathroom dragging someone with her.

"Logan, don't you think that's a bit harsh, considering everything." Duncan said before Logan could walk away.

"Duncan, what are you talking about? All those rumors about her seem to be true. I mean dragging a boy into the girls bathroom, then making sure no one comes in."

"Well who started those rumors to begin with."

"I have no idea what you are talking about. I'm just an innocent bystander." But Duncan knew, the look on Logan's face when he said that completely contradicted the words coming out of his mouth. If only things hadn't escalated so quickly.

Logan began to walk away when Duncan stopped him again.

"Don't you remember how things used to be between us all?" Duncan said in disbelief.

"No, I don't." Logan saw the Duncan's face fall from those three little words.

"But if it makes you feel any better, I wish I did." After that Logan walked away leaving Duncan standing in the middle of the hallway alone with his head spinning form everything that just happened. Was this what it felt like to not be on an anti depressant he thought.


Wallace and Veroncia going through her file.

Veronica's POV

I can't believe Wallace went through it before I got a chance to look at it. He had no right doing that. I may have gone through his, and other kids, but this is my file. I may be holding a double standard, but my file is special.

"So, I noticed that you got detention for a whole week last year…" Wallace nonchalantly added into the conversation.

Oh no, why did I ask him to get it again? Under no circumstances do I want to relieve that night. It wasn't fun to relive, However, in the moment it seemed to be fun, for however short it was, but other than that, it's something I never want any other person to know other then the people involved. Shame, that's all I can say, shame, shame, shame.

"Come on Veronica, you can't back down from a dare. Live a little." Lilly prompted.

"Lilly, I already told you. I don't want to get in trouble, do you know what will happen if we get caught. It's absolutely insane." I said with a scared look as we kept driving. I knew, I just knew that we were getting closer and closer to the place I wanted to stay 5 miles from.

"Lilly, you shouldn't make Veronica do anything she doesn't want to." Duncan defended as we came in sight of our high school. Great, now we are here.

"Thank you." I replied.

"Such a buzz kill." Lilly replied at the same time as I did.

"Besides, you can't make her do it Lilly, but we can…" Duncan said as he took a hold of me and Logan came to the backseat door and helped Duncan carry me in. Lilly unlocked the school and we made out way to the Swim Teams pool.

"This has to be considered kidnapping or something." I tried to reason with them.

They just laughed. "Come on Duncan, you love me. If you do something, then I promise you will regret it. I'm not gonna kiss you for a whole month unless you put me down." He contemplated it, and decided to put me down just as we reached the door to the pool. However, Logan was still holding on. He adjusted me and then we were in the poolroom.

"Logan, I swear to god you will regret what you are about to do." I screamed.

"I don't think I'm going to, I think I'm going to really enjoy it." Logan laughed.

Just as Logan was about to throw me in Lilly let out a war cry and started running towards us. Before I knew what was happening Lilly, Logan, and myself were in the pool, fully clothed.

Duncan was laughing on the sidelines. He was still completely dry, because although Lilly got the rest of them, she didn't get her little brother.

"I can't believe you just did that. I wish I had a camera, because that is one for the record books. I mean look at you three." Duncan said laughing his head off.

"LILLY!" Logan and I both say the second we get to the surface. Logan was completely taken off guard; he wasn't supposed to go in with me. It was just supposed to be me. I am never choosing dare again. I quickly got out while Logan and Lilly were still in the pool arguing. Duncan was still laughing his head off, so I decided he needed a taste of his own medicine.

He was standing next to the edge, perfect. I pushed him and once he resurfaced he had this really funny face on.

"CANNONBALL!" I screamed as I jumped in next to all three of them. We all swam and joked around for the next ten minutes, and that's when we hear a door open,

"Well, well, well." Clemmons said as he arrived with officer Lamb standing right next to him. Apparently Clemmons was driving by the school when he noticed a car parked hap hazardly next to the front and a light on. He called the sheriffs department, and here we were.

"Don't say it." Lilly said was we swam to the steps.

During those ten minutes Lilly had decided that her clothes were weighing her down, so as she climbed out she was in her bra and underwear. Duncan and Logan were shirtless and I was still fully clothed.

"Wow Wallace, your detective skills are really improving."

"So are you going to tell me where you just went a second ago."

"Nope." I reply as I start to stand up.

"Come on, just one word. Something to let me in on what got you detention for a whole week, because what I heard was you were a very good girl your first 2 years of high school."

Apparently he wasn't going to let it go. "It was a dare, and that's all I'm going to say."

"Oh, now you have to tell me, what did you do?" Wallace taunts.

"I didn't want to do it, and I was literally forced to do it. Okay, that's all you get." I say as the freshman I'm doing a case on walks up to us immediately ending our conversation, for now.


Bleachers Scene

3rd person

"Summer lovin…" Duncan started to sing.

"Dude, you've watched that movie too many times." Logan says as he takes a seat on the bleachers.

"You're one to talk." Duncan said.

It was movie night at the Echolls.

"So what are you two torturing us with tonight?" A 13-year-old Logan said as he took a seat down on the couch.

Duncan was making popcorn as Lilly and I made sure all the blinds were closed and all the lights were off. The only light coming from the TV.

"Grease" Lilly and I said simultaneously as we shared great big smirks.

He just groaned.

"This will be the first and last time I ever see this movie." Duncan said as the first scene came up.

End of the movie.

"The car flies?!" Logan exclaimed.

"That's so stupid. When did they get magic?" Duncan said.

"Stop, it's a great movie. One day you will appreciate it." Lilly said.

"You will thank us one day." Veronica smiled at that. With that comment both boys just groaned.

1 year later.

"Do we really have to watch Grease again?" Duncan complained.

"YES!" both girls screamed.

2 years later.

"What movie should we watch?" Lilly asked the three of them as they sat in front of the fire on new years day. They had just woken up from there long night of celebrating 2004.

"How about, Grease." Logan suggested.

"I agree." Duncan said popping the movie into the player.

The girls just smiled at each other, loving the fact that they had let both their men finally, finally love something that the girls loved.

END OF MOVIE.

"Summer lovin had me a blast, oh yeah" Duncan sang

"Summer loving happened so fast" Logan sang. They were singing and dancing around as the girls cuddled together laughing so hard they were crying.

Duncan had just jumped over the railing like a crazy man. Veronica and Troy rushed over to him when they say the blood gushing from his head. Logan completely shocked raced to the railing to see what happened and in a split second ran down to help Veronica.

"I'm going to take him to the hospital." Veronica said as Logan and her helped Duncan to a standing position.

"I'm coming with." Logan said almost immediately.

"Are you sure? I think I can handle it." Veronica countered.

"Yeah, I'm his best friend. I should go and make sure he's ok. I'll go call Jake and meet you at your car." Logan said while starting to walk off quickly pressing things on his phone.

"I can come with you too." Troy said interrupting the process.

"No, no. That will be a tight squeeze in my car, and I'm sure you have things to do. I'll call you later, ok?" Veronica said while she took a towel that Casey had just brought over.

"Ok. Call me." He leaned down for a kiss, but got the cheek.

"Is this another road trip?" a tipsy Duncan asked as Logan arrived and climbed into the back of the convertible.

"Yeah buddy, but it's not to as such a fun place." Logan answered with a large smirk on his face.

Veronica sent him a look and then glanced at Duncan.

"Hold the towel tighter!" Veronica said as she began pulling out of the parking lot at school.

"Your like a mother to him. No wonder he broke up with you." Logan said quietly.

No one else spoke. After 15 minutes Duncan had seemed more sober, but they were still 10 minutes to the hospital with this California traffic.

"Remember how things used to be between all of us?" Duncan asked looking at Veronica. Logan was sitting in the back sighed because he had gotten the same question earlier that day. Veronica seemed to be contemplating things before she answered. With a heavy heart she glanced his way and answered.

"Not really, no." Veronica said putting her eyes back on the road.

"What is with you two? We used to be each other's family. How can you forget something like that? You can't just remember it one day and completely forget it the next, that's not how it works. What even happened to us?" Duncan said getting angrier and angrier.

"Duncan, you know what happened…" Logan said careful not to upset him especially with a head injury like that.

"Yeah, well it doesn't make any sense. Don't you ever just want to go back to those days every once in a while and just be us again?" Duncan said still worked up.

"I do, but I can't it doesn't work like that Duncan, you should know this. What we had is in the past, and so much has happened nothing will ever be the same again, so sorry if we don't remember how we used to be, because we were all so naïve then. This is the real world." Veronica said finally pulling into the parking lot.

"Shit happens, and sometimes you can't fix it, and you can't bring back the memories that have died, along with Lilly." Logan said as he helped Duncan out of the car.

30 minutes later.

Veronica's POV

"Are you both family?" The nurse asked us as we waited with Duncan.

"No." Logan and I answered. At the same time though Duncan answered differently.

"Yes." Duncan answered. The nurse looked a little confused, but she let whatever it was happen.

We stayed until Jake arrived, shocked again to see all three of us together again. I was reliving the police incident from last week. My, my how things have shifted throughout this month since last year.

Logan and I got back in my car on our way back to school so he could get his car.

"Do you think Duncan had a point?" Logan asked me skeptically.

"About what?" I asked.

"About our old friendship." Logan said just above a whisper.

"I don't know. All I know is that one day you where my friend and after Lilly's funeral you were a jerk to me. I showed up to school the next day with slut written across my locker. So much happened so quickly that it's really hard to distinguish what is supposed to be a happy memory and just a memory of terror during those couple weeks." Veronica answered with her eyes glued to the road in front of her, never glancing at Logan

"It wasn't always like that though…" Logan whispered, but Veronica heard it.

"No it wasn't, but that's how it is now. There is no reason to dwell in the past. All we have is the present." Veronica said as she pulled into the school. Logan got out without another word form either of them. Tomorrow everything would be back to how it had been during the last 11 months.


The next day in the hallway at school.

"Hey, how's your head?" I asked Duncan with Logan right behind him.

After a long pause he answered quietly and shortly walking away.

"Better."

After a moment Logan walked closer to me.

"He's a zombie again. I guess you were right."

"Same old same old"


AN. So this was a lot shorter than I hope the other chapters to be, but I found it really hard to work with this episode. I don't know. I am sure the next one will be longer. Promise.
