"VERONICA OVER HERE!

MISS. MARS WHAT MADE YOU MOVE TO NEPTUNE?

VERONICA ARE YOU GOING TO BE ATTENDING NEPTUNE HIGH?

POSE FOR A PICTURE!

VERONICA!

VERONICA!"

The reporters flocked around the Limousin as they bombarded Veronica with questions about her arrival to Neptune. Brett and Bruno, Keith's bodyguards pushed the reporters away as they made a pathway for the Mars family. They finally reached the gate to Veronica's new home as the rented Limo drove away. She walked onto the Mars estate at a slow leisure pace while everyone else left to go into the house to get away from the paparazzi, Veronica turned around and posed for a picture before she walked up the large marble steps leading to the Mars estate. The Mars estate was the best that money can buy. It was the largest and most expensive mansion in Neptune. But to Keith, it was cheaper then the mansion they owned in Beverly Hills, which was worth 4 times the worth of this new house. Veronica walked into the foyer of the house as she handed her maid, Lilian, her bag.

"VERONICA! GET DRESSED WERE HEADING TO THE KANE'S!" Keith shouted as Veronica ran up the steps towards her room. Luckily, her father sent the servants and movers early to furnish, clean, and decorate the house. She walked over towards one of her many walk in closets. Yes, she has more than one closet. (A/N: I'm so jealous. I want more than one closet too.) Veronica pulled out a random silk blue Versace dress. The silk was a color of midnight blue that brought out Veronicas ther blue in Veronica's eyes. The dress came up to her knees and she wore a pair of metallic blue shoes to go with the dress. She put on a set of sapphire jewelry and applied her make up. The last and final step of the process was doing her hair. Veronica spring curled the ends of her hair as she mussed it up giving her a sexy, innocent look.

"YOU READY VERONICA?" Keith screamed from the bottom of the steps.

"I'M READY!" Veronica yelled in return as she left her room and walked towards the steps.

"You look beautiful honey." Keith said as the linked arms walking out towards the Ferrari outside.

"Thanks daddy.." Veronica said as she smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek. Keith got in the drivers seat as Veronica walked towards the passenger seat and they set off for the Kane residence.

"Why hello Keith and Veronica." Celeste and Jake greeted the Mars.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Kane. Its a pleasure to meet you." Veronica replied as she shook their hands.

"Its a pleasure to meet you two." Keith replied as he shook their hands too.

"You have a lovely daughter." Celeste said as she smiled at Veronica.

"Oh no Mrs. Kane. I'm just respecting my elders as I was taught to do." Veronica said as she smiled at Keith.

"She's a modest girl isn't she?" Keith asked with a sparkle in his brown eyes.

"She is." Jake said.

"Shes like a Barbie doll in a way." Keith said as he smiled affectionately at Veronica.

"We have a son, Duncan who's the same age as Veronica. And a daughter, Lily who's one year older." Celeste said as she smiled at Veronica and Keith.

"Oh really? Well I bet they're just as well behaved as Veronica." Keith said.

"Well Duncan yes. But our daughter Lily...More like a no. Shes wild and never listens to us." Celeste cried in exasperation.

"But maybe Veronica will be able to influence her into becoming like her." Celeste said with a wistful expression.

"Well come on in." Jake said as he lead the two towards the living room.

"DUNCAN! LILY! GUEST ARE HERE!" Celeste shouted. Duncan ran down the stairs as he greeted Keith and Veronica. Lily walked down slowly as she stopped in front of Veronica. So this is the girl that everyones going crazy over. I have to give her credit that she is gorgeous. But Ill make sure to ruin her pretty little image. So this must be the infamous Lily Kane. Well I hope shes ready to give up her thrown as Queen Bee of Neptune...

"Don't be rude Lily! Greet them!" Celeste scolded.

"No its okay Mrs. Kane." Veronica said with a sugary smile.

"Hi, I'm Veronica Mars. Its nice to meet you Lily. Ive heard so much about you!" Veronica said as she smiled warmly at Lily. Lily gave Veronica a tight lipped smile as she nodded.

"So Veronica you're going to Neptune High?" Celeste asked.

Yeah...I hope Ill have as much fun there as I did at Beverly High. Veronica replied.

"So what curricular activities did you have at your old school?" Celeste asked

"I was on the cheer leading squad, student government, badminton team, key club, events committee, and I tutored students." Veronica replied.

"Thats going to help you for college, thats for sure." Duncan said.

"Yeah it is. But I'm doing it from the goodness of my heart. I think that young people these days need to spend more time outdoors." Veronica said as Celeste nodded her approval.

"Oh really Veronica? So if you want to help out the world and make it a better place. You should stop using cars, and wearing animal furs." Lily said in an innocent tone.

"Actually Lily. I appreciate your concern. But what would I be if I didn't drive a hybrid and FYI I don't buy real leather of furs. I'd be a hypocrite if I myself don't take the necessary steps to help the world." Veronica said in a matter of fact voice. The door bell rang.

"Oh I hope that you don't mind. But I brought company." Lily said as she answered the door. In walked none other then Logan Echolls.

"I'm glad you could make it Logan!" Lily said as she kissed Logan on the lips.

"Yeah.." Logan said as he stared at Veronica. Wow...Veronica is way more hotter in person then in the magazines...That's for sure.

"Hi, I'm Veronica Mars." Veronica said as she stretched her hand out for him to shake.

"I'm Logan." Logan said as he kissed her hand. Veronica smirked inwardly at Logan's kiss on th hand. Hookand bait! Veronica smiled as Lily fumed with anger at the attention Veronica was receiving from Logan. Logan was suppose to be head over heels with Lily not Veronica!

"It's dinner time." Celeste said as she showed them into the dining room. They all filed in after Celeste. Logan sat next to Veronica, staring at her intently while Lily sat next to Logan, trying to recapture his attention. Duncan sat with Keith. And Jake and Celeste sat at the heads of the table.

"So Veronica how are you liking Neptune?" Logan asked as he gave a crooked smile.

"I'm liking it so far..." Veronica said as she returned the smile.
