Most of the story in Veronica's POV. There 14-15 years old here Christmas break, Trinas is also boarding school (senior year)
Note: Italic's are peoples thoughts and I live in Australia so I don't know when the Americans have their summer break. (We have ours in December).
By Christmas break Veronica's parents filled for divorce, she lived permatly with Keith and stayed with Leanne each second weekend.
Her friendship with Logan had grown and surprised Duncan the most when Meg and him got back from their holiday Dick, Logan and Veronica became close friends.
Logan and Veronica really mention the kiss they shared that summer. Both not wanting to ruin their friendship. Dick also promised to delete the photo he took after secretly printing one out for Logan.
It was the last day of school until the summer break the normal Californian weather for May. The tiny blonde was sitting at the 09er table next to her best friend and his girlfriend.
"will you guys get a room, Please!" Veronica complained to Duncan and Meg as she was trying to eat.
"I have suddenly lost my sense of appetite" she told the table as she pushed her lunch away.
"Just because Zac broke up with you last week, doesn't give you the right Ronnie" Logan snaped back at her
"shut-up" veronica told Logan, then throwing a fry at him.
"God Mars, you use to be fun" Dick added in
"you saying I'm not fun anymore?" she asked as Dick and Logan nodded
"Fine bring it on"
"bring what on, if you want to get with either Dick or I, you could've just told us, we would certainly helped you out on that" Logan told her knowingly she would accept a challenge.
"now don't upset Maddison" Dick tells his on-off girlfriend
"All of you guys give her a cute nick name like Ronnie, that you call her all the time.." maddison starts to complain but gets interrupted by Veronica
"no actually when I piss them off especially Dick or Logan, they call me Veronica"
"why does she get a nick name?" Maddison complains
"because she's loved?" Logan answers followed by Dick answering
"because she's butch?"
Veronica still gets annoyed sometimes when people called her butch or dude or things that resembled being more like a guy.
"don't worry V, we still love you" Dick whispers to Veronica. Which made her smile for one of the first times that day.
"I ment bring it on, meaning doing something fun, not boring you know"
"actually, rents away, this weekend small get together?" Logan suggested
"Yea were in" Duncan adds looking from Meg to Logan, as he nods.
" I'm in" Maddison adds
"Dude it's a party, of course I'm in" Dick says
" Veronica?" Logan asks her with a hope tone in his voice
" only if I don't have to drink any of yours or Dick's special shots!" Veronica told them
"oh I remember last time, you got all light headed after one shot" Troy said as he sat down closely on the other side of Veronica. Which made Logan feel a struck of anger.
"Veronica your tiny, we knew you would be light headed after one shot"
"thanks now I'm known as Veronica, the tiny one" she joked
People at the table started to laugh
"Thanks alot Logan, that it going to effect my self esteems" then kept repeating "Veronica, the tiny one".
"Fine, you happy, none of our special shots for Ronnie" Logan com-per-rises.
"thankyoup"
By the time Logans small get together Veronica thought of a million good reasons not to go. But knew if she didn't go everyone would put her down. (Mostly Dick and Logan)
By the time her dad dropped he off it was 5:30. The petite blonde knocked on the door to the mansion, knowing it was rude to walk straight through.
As she expected Logan answered the door.
LOGAN POV
It was just past five thirty and mostly was here, personally I thought it was too early to start the party but every one disagreed. I herd the door bell as I walked quickly to the door. As I opened the door, there stood Veronica.
Her long blonde hair just past her chest. She wearing a pair of denim short shorts, and a blue top, she looked smoking hot!
"are you going to let me in or am I just going to stand her while you look at me like that, cus its getting freaky" she said to break the silence
"you welcome in my room if you want" I said half sarcasticly half serious.
"I knew you always wanted me, Logan" veronica said as she walked past me, into my house.
Veronica entered the pool area as she owned the place.
"how come nobody told me to bring my bathers, Anways weres meg?" she yelled out as she went to talk to Dick and Duncan.
"Meg couldn't come she had to babysit. Logan said he told you" Duncan told her
Oh shit now I am in trouble, I thought to myself as I herd their conversation, and veronica looked at me great!
"You know if you wanted to we could always" Dick started to say
"no I don't want you to chuck me in there, that applys to you to Logan, and no I'm not going skinny dipping in your pool Echolls" she said
Damn I should've thought of that skinny dippingA few hours later, a few drinks later according to Dick, we needed excitement and I had a perfect idea.
I walked over to Dick and to tell him the plan.
"Hey man" I greeted him
"Hey Logan whats happening"
"I've got a good idea, to get Veronica" I told him as he look interested
"Ok, well you run in one direction and I will run in the other direction, to spear tackle Veronica into the pool" I explained to Dick as he just nodded at me.
"Then I will actually get her into the pool, so she can be mad at me, then when she can breathe, I'll pick her up can carry her out of the pool and put her in the esky. Dick I need you to put ice on her once she is in the esky" Logan finished to saying
"awesome, now?"
"give five minutes" the brown head boy replied back and walked off ready to take positions.
Logan looks up at Dick before he starts running to Veronica, and Dick looks back at him. Both wearing there boardies are ready to get into the water
Veronica notice's Dick and Logan running to her and knows its not going to be good.
The beautiful blonde feels two arms wrap around her waits as the hit the water.
Veronica and Logan reach up for air, when Logan realises Veronicas hands placed on his chest, he is quite enjoying this. Logan shakes his head quickly to notice the blonde swimming away. Logan being bigger and stronger caught up to her quickly and was trying to block her from getting out.
"what the hell Echolls?" Veronica said in frustration as she was trying to get out of the pool. Veronica looked hotter, than before. After being thrown into the pool her shorts stuck to her smooth legs with made her legs look thin.
"Logan, what the hell are you doing let go of me" he hears her yelling. Logan picks her up and tosses her over his shoulder and gets out of the pool catching the attention of everyone there.
"Put me down Shrek!" she yelled with a glint of sarcasum in her voice.
"Don't you dare fart, your lucky I'm one of the smallest here!" The blonde yells over Logans shoulder.
Logan looks over at Dick who is holding half a bag of ice, while both of them walking over to one of the large eskys.
"No freakin way Echolls put me down now" Veronica said realising what was going on and start kicking.
"You put dead people in ice"
"I didn't pick you out to be a death kind of Gal Ronnie, then again your dads sheriff" Dick said
Without any warning Veronica finds her self in the esky covered in ice.
As soon as she got out she ran over to Logan and Dick and started punching them Dick only wearing his lime green board shorts, Logan wearing board shorts and a navy billabong rash top.
When Veronica stoped punching them she realised she had ice down her top.
"Dick how did you manage to get ice down my top?" she asked him getting the ice out, all the guys looking at her.
"Guys come on look somewhere else for like 5 seconds" Duncan begged them, while they were watching Veronica make adjustments with her top.
I dunno how did you get ice down her top Dick? Logan thoughtDick just shrugged "Lucky chance?" He guessed as Veronica started to walk over to him.
She just smiled at him, then wraped her small arms around him.
Her head rested on his tanned chest.
"thanks for this" she whispered to him, to her brother model.
"what for"
"making me smile"
"Well it was Logans idea" Dick told her, not taking any credit of it knowing Logan and her had a rocky relationship.
"yeah, but I'm not hugging him" She said as she let go and started to walk over to the group. He being the one that pushed her in the water and putting her in the esky.
"So I hope now that all your clothes are soaking wet, you have to strip" Troy commented
Veronica looked down not knowing what she was going to do
"My Mum still has an old pair of Trinas old bathers if you want, not sure about clothes but if you want you can borrow a tee" Logan offered
'Guilt much?" Veronica joked
"Come on show me the way" she said to Logan as they started to walk inside.
"I found them" Logan said walking back into his own room, which he told Veronica to stay in while he searched for the pair of bathers.
Logan entered the room and noticed Veronica looking at the photo frames that his mother made him put up. Logan walks over to her and stands behind her looking over shoulder closely.
"You still have this photo? And framed?" she asked not turning around and looking at him only knowing his presence was there. She, holding a picture of the two of them from last year.
"yeah, I really liked that photo" the brown haired boy said back honestly.
Veronica turns her head and looks into his eyes seeing if he ment it.
And he did
"yea I liked that day too, and the photo, my photography skills rock!" Veronica said remember back to that day last summer.
Logan couldn't believe it he was this close to Veronica Mars and she wasn't punching him or pulling him away. A few centermeters away from her, This was the perfect time to kiss her he thought as he gently touched a couple strands of hair and put it behind her.
Veronica blinked and put the photo back down on the wooden table.
"So got a shirt for me?" Veronica asked him breaking once again the silence.
And the moment has passed, Logan you missed your chance to kiss her.
Veronica walks over and sits on the computer chair waiting for Logan to get one.
"oh, yeah" logan said going over to his wardrobe and picking out his favourite shirt.
"whow, got a lot of orange and greens in there, I like you in green" she comments looking into his cupboard of hung up clothes.
"thanks" Veronica says, then walks his bedroom door but stopped.
"answer me something" veronica demanded
"anything" Logan said turning around to look at the girl of his dreams
"what is so good about American Pie? I mean come on South Park rocks and the Simpsons but American Pie?"
He looks at her, how genuine she is, he sruggs
"Typical guys"
"you can get change in here if you want, l'll leave you to get changed" Logan offered
"no thanks I would rather not be naked in your room even if its like for a second" Veronica said awquardly standing next to the door
"damn it, ruined my night time fantasies" Logan joked
"well not all of them come true" veronica said leaving Logan in his room.
This was one good thing about being smaller than Logan. His tee covered her butt.
Veronica walked over to the group in Trinas pink bikini and Logans green shirt, which was a dress on her. It was dark, the navy sky and shinning stars and the living light was the only light they had.
Veronica goes and sits between Dick and Logan
"Hey Bro" she said
"hey Ronnie"
Veronicas hair was still wet, her long blond locks were down to her side, her hair shinning in the sunlight.
"were playing truth or Dare" Duncan filled her in
"Thanks D"
"Logan truth or dare?" Dick asks
"truth" he admits the safe side, which surprised veronica.
"why do you still have that picture I gave you of you and Veronica in you top study desk?"
Veronica shoots a glare at Dick, then at Logan, who gives her one of his famous smirks
"what can I say, it was for my scrapbook, to remind myself she always want me but is to scared to admit it, what can I say, I was going to start that scrapbook yesterday" Logan started to say. Duncan surprised at his comment looked up at his best friend.
"nothing happened" she said quickly looking guiltu
"she was kissing me I was going to let her have my way with me, you know she couldn't control herself, with all of this" pointing to himself, keep telling everyone what happened
"as I remember you were the one that kissed me thankyou very much, I just kissed you back as a thankyou" she told him
"now that is a lie, stop lying" Logan tried to convince everyone
"Like I totally want you" Veronica said then looking over at Dick who had guilty written all over his face.
"you promised me that you deleted that photo" she screamed at him half laughing.
"well theres nothing I can do now so ill let it go" she admitted looking in her lap.
"what happen last summer you guys?" Duncan asked the blonde wearing an overly big shirt
"It was Logans truth question not mine" veronica said
"Fine truth or dare, our little Ronnie?" Logan asked
There was no way I was going to pick truth, so many questions they could ask about that day.
"Dare" the words came out of veronicas mouth
"Oh… rebel"
"I got one, I dare you to make out with Duncan" Logan dared her, which got Duncans attention
"There is not way I am making out with my best friend" she told them.
"sorry V, but there's nothing you can do" Madison told her
"actually there is something else you could do" Logan said drawing the attention of Veronica
"you can come skinny dipping with me"
Veronica looked up at Duncan and knew she had to kiss him
"Lets just get this over and done with" Duncan said
Veronica moved to the middle of the circle and sat in front of Duncan who was also next to Logan.
Veronica moves her head in slowly until there lips met.
Veronica kisses Duncan slowly making the kiss soft and innocent, the way he liked it. Knowing it was becoming weird she felt Duncans tongue was trying to get into her mouth. In that split second she bit his tongue and broke the kiss.
"I think that's enough" Veronica said sightly embarrassed sitting back next to Dick.
"If you get that from Meg, no wonder why you guys wont break up" Logan said
"you bit my tongue" Duncan commented which got back the attention of Madison and Troy.
Everyone was staring at the long blonde who was wearing an overly big green shirt.
"what?" she asked them
Troy was the first one to laugh followed by everyone else in the group except Duncan who was a little bit embarrassed.
The Truth, Logan was wrong, Meg and him never kissed like that, like the whole world didn't matter to him.
"what? Without tongue was weird enough already, I didn't wouldn't wasn't things weirder" veronica said has she but her knees up to her chest resting her head on her knees.
"ok, my turn" veronica said looking around her wiggling her fingers together, looking like Mr Burns from the Simpson's
"excellent" she said staring at troy
"Oh, God" he said with fear looking around anywhere but Veronica.
"you look scared Troy?"
"and I have every damn right to be"
"you say I scare people?" she asked Troy, when the whole looks guilty.
"great now I'm Veronica, the short and scary one. Thanks guys" she joked
"Ok… Troy truth or dare?" she asked him as she raised an eye brow.
"dare" Troy says slowly
"I dare, you to go to third base with Veronica" Logan dared him.
Veronica elbowed Logan in the stomach for the inappropriate comment.
"don't I'm the one who gets to dare troy to do something, don't steal my spotlight" Veronica told him
"but hes happy with my dare, Ronnie see" he told her as he look his arm furtherest way from her and pointed at him.
"does it seem like I'm a slut, I just kissed Duncan".
"its just because you havn't went to third base with a guy before, you know I can teach you some tricks you know" Logan whispered into Veronicas ear.
Veronica chose to ignore his comment and kept talking
"Troy can you please punch Logan hard, don't hold back, do it for all the girls he has been a jerk too. I would name them but I have ran out of fingers" she told him
"is that the dare?"
Veronica turned her head to notice Logan staring at her
"your unbeleiveable you know, but I still love you" logan said
"come on V, I know you have a million dares for Troy but that one? Chose another one?" Duncan suggests
Veronica looks back at Logan who gives her the most innocent smirk.
"God you guys know how to ruin a moment" she jokes
"ok" Veronica said then breathed out loudly thinking
"this dare, is for tomorrow because we need to go and get the stuff" veronica firstly stated
"we have whipped cream in the fridge" Logan told her
"thanks I'll keep that in mind, I dare you to let maddison and I to do you hair and you must leave it in until we go back to school" Veronica dared him
"what are you guys going to do?" Troy asked a shivering Veronica.
Dick put her arm around Veronica pulling her in, to keep her warm. She gratefully let herself curl up with Dick placing her hands with Dicks other hand.
"you know a little bit of this and that" she said grinning at Maddison.
"I cant wait to see this!" Logan said laughing.
Later on that night Veronica was sitting on one of the Echolls outdoor couches alone staring up at the sky.
"how you feeling?" Logan asks her as he goes and sits down next to her.
"I'm fine, just thinking"
"thinking about what?"
"just how fucked up my life is at the moment"
"yeah I think about that as well" he says, then she gives his a sharp glare
"my life not yours" he told her, which made her calm back down.
A few minutes have passed when Logan interups the silence turning from looking at the stars to her.
"why did you and Zac break up?" he asks her "you know I wont tell anyone"
Veronica doesn't answer quickly
"you tell me something about you, that I don't already know then I'll tell you, I promise" she reassured
"When I slept with Jessica Evans a few months ago" Logan said
Veronica looked at him giving him an 'I don't want to know' look.
"you will want to hear about this trust me, I couldn't stop thinking about you seriously, I was fucking her and I couldn't stop thinking about the little scary blonde" Logan said sarcastically.
"God, Jess she's kinda slut!, no seriously tell me something true"
"how do you know I wasn't lying?, I could be telling you the truth, I love you Veronica" he said still joking around, making Veronica smile.
"stay like that, I like you like that"
'what?" she asks
"when you smile" he mumbled
This gave Veronica a bigger smile
"now that was cocky, I can tell you already know why he broke up with me"
"it because you wouldn't sleep him right?" Logan admitted
"whats wrong with me Logan? I want my first time to be special and with the right guy? What so wrong with that, I know its corny"
"theres nothing wrong with you Mars, trust me, when you have the right moment and guy, it will happen, don't worry, your only 15, you got a couple more years too do things" Logan said comfortly.
Veronica leaned into Logan, as he placed a kiss on her forehead.
"I like you this way Logan" she told him
"What do you mean?"
"I like it when I have these moments with you when you're not a jackass"
"you mean when were alone together, on the couch looking up at the stars, so romantic" he joked putting his arms around her small frame.
"you wish, but seriously I like this Logan".
"can I keep the photo?" he asked
"have you showed anyone?" she asked as he thought for a second then shook his head 'no'
"then keep it" she said looking back up at the stars.
"hey Logan?"
his head turns his head to the blonde still wearing his shirt
"if it makes a difference, I love you too" she said honestly meaning just as friends.
The Christmas break was hard for Veronica. She decided to stay at her Dads house, then when he went to work slept over at Logan' because his family wasn't big with the whole Christmas thing either.
I was thinking of doing a story between the last two chapters how Zac and Veronica got together and stuff.
Should I?
Please comment.
