A/N: Hello all, and sorry for the big delay on the update. I have hives, hah, and I think I'm boarding a nervous breakdown…yeah, a lot on my mind. Anyway, I get out of school, so that's a plus. Well, all you loyal DiVe readers, this will not be changing to LoVe, though there will be a forming friendship there. So here is chapter four…

>>>>

Madison Sinclair could not believe her eyes. Was Logan Echolls really talking to Veronica Mars in a civilized manner? She tried to listen in on their conversation from her lunch table, but it was no use. They were too far away. So she watched their body language. Logan was laughing, and not in an 'I'm tormenting Veronica, the bitch' way. A genuine way. Damn, and as if Madison thought hell froze over because of that, the next thing she saw shocked her. To say the least, she almost fell out of her chair.

>>>>

Dick walked up to Veronica, who was sitting by Logan and Meg.

"Hey babe," Dick said as he kissed her.

"Hey," she replied back.

Duncan saw the exchange from the double doors leading outside to the lunch tables. He quickly past by the four-some and headed to the 09er table.

"Guessing you two didn't chat it up with DK yet?" Logan questioned, as he watched Duncan pass them by in a huff.

"I'm not sure why I would owe him an explanation," Veronica reasoned. "He was the one that broke up with me. A year ago, I might add."

Duncan's not sure if he'll ever speak to Veronica or Dick again beacuseof the previous weekend, after he found they were having some sort of secret relationship. Veronica has to admit, the previous weekend had been fun, depsite Duncan hating her. After her and Logan shed their tears for Lilly, they went downstairs and found that everyone was still there, except for Duncan. So that night, Casey, Sean, and Luke accepted Veronica and Dick's relationship. Why they hell should they care to hate Mars anymore? I mean, if Logan Echolls stopped hating Veronica, anyone could. The six of them stayed up that night, playing some drinking game they couldn't quite recall in the morning.

>>>>

Veronica wasn't sure how Monday was going to go, but here she was. Logan was still being pleasant, and Dick had kissed her, for all of Neptune High to see.

Surprisingly, or not so much…the 09ers didn't welcome Veronica with open arms. Sure, Logan seemed to have some sort of friendship with her, but the others weren't so sure. This was the same girl they had ridiculed the last year. Hated.

But Veronica kind of liked how things were turning out. They were creating their own group, kind of. Casey, Luke, Logan, Beaver, Meg, and the newest addition to Neptune High…Troy Vandergraff.

When Veronica and Dick let their relationship be know to their school, Sean, Duncan, and most of the other 09ers quickly jumped off of the 'We support your relationship' bandwagon.

>>>>

They were all at their usual table, eating some Chinese takeout, thanks to pirate points, when Logan spoke up.

"So, wait, wait, wait…you were the guy from lunches? I mean, Dick, you were carboy? The one that got Veronica all hot and bothered? Walking in to 6th period?" Logan questioned, with a smirk upon his face.

"Oh yeah, I remember that. You'd come in to class and your hair would be a little messed up. Hah, me and Logan never let you down on that," Casey recalls.

"That was me," Dick said, grinning as he looked to Veronica.

"Wait, so how long were you guys seeing each other before it got out?" Meg asks, eyeing Veronica.

Veronica looked to Dick and they both let out a laugh.

"You don't want to know," Veronica said.

"Hell yes we do," Troy said. "I was making plays at you for weeks. Damn, no wonder you turned me down, you had Dick here on the side."

"So you guys remember Shelly's end of the year party, like early December last year?" Dick questioned.

"I kissed Dick. The alcohol must have gotten to me. So then, he showed up at my house the next day and it all started there," Veronica recollects, looking to Dick and laughing.

"So you guys kept this on the DL for a year?" Logan asks.

"Yeah, I mean, Beaver knew, and um, Dick's dad, but that's all," Veronica informs them.

"I didn't even know until recently," Beaver said. "They are pretty good at the secret thing I guess."

Veronica was taken aback at how much life had changed since everyone found out about her and Dick. At first she thought maybe Dick would break it off, forget about the last year, but he hadn't. Somehow, life was coming together again, and she was happy.

>>>>

Veronica sat in bio, not really listening to the teacher. She could care less about the different kinds of abortions.

"Hey Veronica," Wallace said, as he took his seat.

"Hey," she replied. Her and Wallace had sat together at lunch the other day, but she hadn't seen much of him since her and Dick were found out.

"So, I heard about you and that Casablanca's kid," Wallace informed her.

"Hmm, yeah, I hear it's all around school now," Veronica said.

"You know Mars, I'm just going to stop trying to figure you out," Wallace concluded. "I mean, the first day I met you, I thought I had you down. Pissed off, hardass, white female. But now, not so pissed off, maybe even seeing a smile here and there. And damn them 09ers that you told me about at lunch, saying how you hated each other, hmm, but you and Dick? Guess I didn't see it coming."

"No one did, it was meant to be a secret," Veronica told him, grinning.

"Miss Mars, Mr. Fennel, could you please pay some attention," called their bio teacher.

>>>>

"So are you in?" Dick asked, as he nibbled on her ear, causing Veronica to giggle.

"Umm, I think so. Dads out of town until next week. So, I guess that leaves you and me."

"Hell yes, in TJ. It's totally going to be kickass. Logan, Luke, Beav, and me and you."

"Wait, me and four guys," Veronica asked.

"I guess. Ask Meg to come or something," Dick suggested.

"Okay," Veronica replied as she sought his lips again, as she straddled him. Dick brought his hand to the small of her back and sucked on her bottom lip.

Veronica broke the kiss. "Oh hey, I forgot to tell you, I found this in my locker the other day," Veronica states, as she reaches to her back pocket and pulls out a slip of white paper. Dick examines the paper and lets out a muffled laugh.

"Madison," he says, with a laugh."I think she wrote the 'Dumb Fuck' on my locker. I would say that's a sure sign she doesn't approve of our relationship," Dick said.

"Then were just going to have to break up," Veronica joked. "I mean, if Madison Sinclair sends me 'You stole my boyfriend you heartless bitch, you will pay' threats again, I just, it'll send me straight to the girls bathroom crying."

"Umm, I think I'll just have to go to the bathroom and comfort you then," Dick said with a smirk.

Veronica laid down next to Dick and looked into his blue eyes.

"I think I love you," Dick said. "You know that I hate those words, because everyone uses them so lightly and fuck, I didn't even think I could love someone, other than myself, but I'm finding myself falling for you.And that scares the hell out of me sometimes. I used to be so hard, like I wouldn't allow myself to care for people. I was someone who could care less about girls. I was the guy going from girl to girl, one fuck to the next, but you're doing something to me."

"I'm glad I can be of service," Veronica replied, with a smile on her face.
