I rush over to Lily and hug her so hard
"Veronica… you…are…choking…me" she manages to cough out. I let her go.
"Oh my gosh Lily I am so sorry" I quickly say
"No big, what was that all about. You couldn't have missed me that bad I just saw you at 2 am this morning when you left my house." She says
"Well ya know that was like hours ago I just missed you."
"Veronica Mars you are too weird. But I love ya anyway" she smiles at me
"Hey Lil any way we could skip the car wash today and just hang out you and me all day? I mean Logan's in Mexico and Duncan has soccer. Please? I need a new look and want you to help me" That's gotta work! She always wanted me to change
"Well… Since you asked nicely ok BUT I gotta meet someone at 3." She says to me
CRAP! How do I get her out of that!
"Who are you meeting?" I ask her
"My new, well not so NEW as new lover" she laughs
"But what about Logan?" I ask
"Hun I told you this last night we broke up. I mean come on you're the one that told me he kissed that bitch"
"I know but he loves you, you know that he was just being Logan"
"Please Veronica we all know I was just a place holder for the girl he is really in love with" she smirks at me "I really, really fun one" she laughs
"What are you talking about who does he really love?" I ask her
"Well if you can't see it then it's not my place to tell. Gosh you are getting clingy. Fine I will call him up and arrange a new time. There you happy?" She asks
"Yes thank you Lily" I say and hug her again. Ok phase one complete.
Lily and I go to the mall and first thing I do is get my hair cut short like I was before, well after. AGH you know when. Lily talks them into giving me some highlights as well. Then clothes shopping. Being best friends with Lily Kane has its advantages when she sees something that is totally you she buys it, and let's just say she saw a lot that she thought was the new me.
3 o'clock rolls around and we are still at the mall. We finally leave as the mall is closing. 9pm and Lily is still alive. I DID IT. We start driving to Lily's and as we are about to get to the Sinclair's we see flashing blue light. We stop and I run towards where I see my dad, Lily right behind me.
"DAD! What's going on?" I ask
"Veronica, oh thank god you and Lily are ok!" he says and hugs us both
"Dad?" I say again
"Honey its Madison. Someone attacked her and hit her over the head. I'm so sorry." He says
"Madison? Wait was she by the pool?" I ask
"How did you know that Veronica?" he asked me worriedly
"Please do not tell me she was in her pep squad uniform" I asked
"How do you know this Veronica?" He asks me sternly
"I saw it in a dream, except in my dream it wasn't Madison it was Lily" I tell them trying not to break my cover. So instead of Lily dying Madison dies. Well didn't see that coming. Thank you Universe.
