Chapter 6

So it's been a couple months since that nightmare happened - When Veronica got home she had told Lianne to leave and to never come back because Veronica knew she didn't stop drinking and she didn't want to be around her Veronica gambled on her and she lost - she had found the fifty grand Keith had gotten for finding Duncan and she took it with her without them knowing, there goes college for Veronica.

Veronica's completely given up on the P.I business and now her job consists on waiting on people at a coffee shot called Java The Hut - besides the nagging customers every things going good with her life career wise – Keith had written a book - well he didn't really write it someone came to him about writing a book about what happened with Lilly's murder he really didn't want to do it but he had to since Lianne stole the reward money from Veronica and Keith.

On another note about Keith - he and Alicia are now engaged to be married, Veronica had called her the night of the accident so she could sit with Keith for when he woke up so he wouldn't be alone; since then those two have been joined at the hip - and Veronica really couldn't be happier for Keith he's nothing but smiles every time she sees him. It should be interesting to see what it'll be like to be related to her best friend.

'Veronica - are you sure you want to do this?' he looks Veronica dead in the eyes to search for her answer, Veronica nods her head and smiles at him and gives him a gentle kiss on the lips. 'I'm sure Logan - make love to me.' and then he kisses Veronica with full passion.

Logan was nervous enough for the both of them - he didn't want Veronica to regret having sex since really it would of been her first time with a guy to actually remember that it happened but it happened they had sex and it was incredible to Veronica he was perfect and gentle with her.

Veronica and Logan spent most of their summer together they we're rarely apart Wallace even hung out with them a lot of the time and they always made sure he never felt like he was the third wheel - he saw enough of the happily in love as it was when it came to seeing their parents together.

That's another reason why Veronica was always out of the house their parents were always lovey dovey with each other and on some days it wanted to make Veronica vomit - as much as she loved that Keith was happy she can only stand seeing so much cuddling and kissing.

Keith and Veronica along with Backup will be moving in with the Fennels once they get married – Keith and Lianne got a quick divorce, they both felt that it was time to move on from the past and away from all the bad in their lives and since Lianne hadn't been getting better it was time to do what he wanted to do for years when he had found out she was having an affair with Jake Kane.

And just when Veronica thought things were better then ever between her and Logan he drops the biggest bomb of all on her. 'You know I love you right Ronnie?' he says looking deep in her eyes - Veronica smiles at him and nods her head. 'Yes and I love you too with my whole heart.' then suddenly his face drops.

'I think we should break up.' Veronica pulls back from him. 'What? did I do something wrong or what? please tell me so I can make it better.' Veronica says looking him in the eyes as she feels tears starting to well up in her eyes.

'No, Ronnie you did nothing wrong - this is completely me, right now I'm just going though something personal and I want to get some help for myself - I'm afraid that I'm going to turn out like my dad Ronnie and I really need to go get help so I can get over that fear of mine.' he says holding Veronica's hands in his.

And that was the end of Veronica's relationship with Logan it's been two months since he broke up with her and as far as she knows he has been going to counseling for himself - they don't really talk much anymore, not since well - not since Veronica got back together with Duncan.

'Senior's RULE!' Veronica screams as she runs into Wallace hard like a guy would. 'Hey.' he says as he walks back to stand next to her since she shoved him over a bit. 'You didn't call me back last night.' Veronica wraps her arm around his shoulder. 'Now don't get all girl on me.' he looks at her serious. 'I got kicked off the basketball team.'

'What?' Veronica asks him with a confused look on her face. 'I failed my drug test - I've been booted from the athletics for the whole year.' Veronica puts her hands in her pockets. 'You don't do drugs.' he gives her a smart look. 'No duh sherlock!' he explains rolling his eyes. 'It wasn't just me five others of us failed to but the star quarterback he passed and EVERYBODY saw him blazing up down on the boardwalk.'

Kelvin Moore told Veronica something like this just yesterday but she didn't believe him only because she knows he used to do drugs in the past - maybe after all something was up after all with the drug tests. 'I heard none of the 09ers failed the drug tests.' Veronica crosses her arms at Wallace. 'You think its a conspiracy?' he asks her.

Veronica raises her eyebrow at him. 'This is Neptune - nothing happens accidentally.' Wallace sighs. 'We'll your wrong about the drug tests one 09er did fail.' Veronica gives him a confused look. 'Who.' he looks down at the ground. 'You're not going to believe it either.' Veronica shakes her head. 'I'm not the one thats easily shocked.'

'Meg.' he says bluntly - maybe it is a shocker after all to her. 'Meg?' Veronica says walking away from him. 'So you'll help?' he says following her. 'Do you even have to ask? - Just when I think I'm out they PULL me back in.' she punches the air and runs off to find whats been going on around school.

So basically during lunch Wallace filled Veronica in on when he took the drug test and that if the seal was broken they couldn't do the drug test just in case someone had indeed tampered with - well with the urine.

So after Veronica talked with Wallace with what had been going on with the test she looked behind her and she sees Kelvin laughing it up with his friends and so Veronica goes and sits at his table and she told him she had a change of heart and that she would be happy to help him find out what really happened with the drug tests.

'Oh yeah? well I heard your friend Wallace got nailed too - so I guess that changes everything now huh?' Veronica nods her head. 'I guess it does - so other then me can you think of anybody that would do something like this to you?' he smiles. 'People love me.' Veronica shake her head. 'No, you pick on the weak and helpless.'

'Now that I think about it there is this one kid that swore he'd ruin my life but he doesn't have the balls to do it - trust me.' Veronica picks up her camera and take off the lens. 'Who?' she asks him. 'This kid, sophomore they call him "butters" he was trying to show off in P.E last year so I pantsed him.' he says laughing.

Veronica takes a picture of him and leaves to go off and question a bunch of other people who failed the drug test to find out what they knew and ask them if they pissed someone off the make them fail the test - next person to talk to, Meg.

They used to be friends - Veronica knows she was one of the only people she could call a friend back when she was treated badly but since Duncan broke up with her she blamed Veronica now they don't even speak so this conversation should be interesting.

'Meg - hey, senior year we're almost done.' Veronica walks up behind her saying as she throws out the rest of her lunch that she hadn't been eating. 'Do you want something?' she crosses her arms at Veronica. 'Well I heard you got kicked off the cheerleading squad.' Veronica says feeling very awkward right then.

'Yeah, but you know me, I'm a major stoner. It was really affecting me, too, I was like, "Let's go! Let's go! L-E-T-S...duh...".' she says tapping her water bottle with her fingers. 'Can you think of anyone who might have done this to you?' Veronica asks her.

'Well, there is this one person. I used to think she was a friend, but, uh...but yeah, yeah, now that I think about it, she'd have no reservations and she definitely has the talent to pull it off. Let me know if you have any luck tracking her down, 'kay?' she says to Veronica walking away.

So Veronica wakes up the next day for school to go and have a little talk with "Butters" Veronica walks down the hall and sees that he's getting books out of his locker so she walks up to him to question him about the drug tests.

'Butters?' Veronica asks walking up to him - while he closes his eyes in frustration when hearing the name come out of my mouth. '"Butters" is the name of the weak, loser suck-up on South Park. "Butters" implies soft, fat...' he closes his locker door.

'But oh so delicious.' she says getting smart with him. 'Vincent - is my given name.' he says giving her a dirty look. 'I hear you were pantsed in gym last spring, Vincent.' he gives Veronica a smirk. 'Are you requesting a private viewing?'

'And now, the guy who pantsed you and all the people who might have chuckled end up kicked off athletics for the year. Curious.' Veronica says putting on her thinking face. 'Justice - It can be a bitch.'

'So you got even - is that it?' Veronica says giving him a look. 'It looks that way now doesn't it?' he says putting on a straight face. 'You're playing a dangerous game - Kelvin will take your head off if I tell him you're the reason he's off football this year.' Vincent looks behind Veronica and smiles. 'You know what? I don't think he will - Hey, Pop.' he says as Vice Principal Clemmons walks by. 'Son.'

Come to find out it wasn't Vincent after all it was a corporation company called Boat Loads Of Fun - each of it's shareholders are the parents of the runners up of the kids that would take over the kids who failed the drug tests.

So Veronica and Wallace sent off a message kind of like "I know what you did this summer" to scare them into coming clean to each of the partners of the corporation to set up a meeting to set up a new financial arrangement so they can catch them in the act.

So later on that day when Veronica was at work surprisingly all the partners from the corporation all showed up like she set them up little did they all know Veronica had Vice Principal Clemmons sitting over at another table with a ear piece listening in on the conversations with the bug Veronica had planted at the table to prove that they were responsible for what went down with the drug tests being falsely done just to get their kids to the head of the teams they were on.

Duncan showed up while she was working and they had a little time together while Veronica was on her break and talked about the field trip we were going to be going on tomorrow at Shark Field and then later on Veronica went home and went straight to bed - sometimes working at a coffee house waiting on rude people it wears Veronica out.

The next day at school Veronica finds her boyfriend and she smiles at him and he smiles at her and he walks towards her to greet Veronica for the day before they take off for the field trip and then they hear a voice behind them just as they join hands.

'Ah - young love.' It was Logan, Veronica and Duncan link hands and she puts on a fake smile walking towards the bus - Duncan and Logan are no longer friends, but Veronica guesses that what happens when your best friend dates your ex.

'You're coming on the field trip? I figured you and the other Jets would be rumbling with the Sharks.' Duncan says sarcastically. 'Cool it, Action.' Logan says giving him a smirk. 'I think I'm going to pass on the field trip but uh - call me when you get home and tell me all about it.'

'Let's just get on the bus Duncan.' Veronica says pulling him by the hand. 'Wait a minute.' he says stepping in front of her to stop them. 'I'm going to miss you.' he says as Veronica and Duncan walk off to the bus and she could feel his eyes on her the whole time - it was very awkward being around him now especially with Duncan around, Veronica could still feel his feelings towards her and it makes her nervous because sometimes Veronica feelings are still hidden deep down inside of her.

Once they got on the bus and found their seats to go to Shark Field Veronica thought it would be a quiet ride between Duncan and her since they had that awkward moment with Logan just a few minutes ago but then Dick had to open up his mouth.

'Miss Dumbass!' he screams up to the front of the bus while the teacher gives him an annoying look. 'It's "du-mahs," Dick.' she states. 'Well, my name's pronounced "Ree-shard," and it stinks back here - I think someone died.'

'You free to sit closer to the front.' she says pointing to an empty seat. 'That's okay I don't think its going to help - thanks anyway.' Then he looks over and sees a brunette girl. 'Hey, who's the lovely young flower blossoming into womanhood?'

'Let me guess - you want to pluck her.' Duncan says as he looks back at Dick and gives him an annoyed look and Veronica just rolls her eyes looking back as she sees Dick and Cassidy smiling at the girl Dick was referring to.

So the field trip wasn't as bad as Veronica thought it would go the girl who Dick was eyeing was Gia Goodman the daughter of Woody Goodman who was the owner of Shark Fields - Veronica had also had the chance to meet Terrance Cook Keith's all time favorite baseball star he even shook her hand, if she tells Keith that then he'll never let her wash her hand again.

Dick had come up to them saying that he couldn't take riding on the bus that stunk so he invited Veronica and Duncan to ride with them - Veronica accepted at first and then she seen Dick talking to Meg she guessed it was to invite her to ride in the limo too and Veronica seen her turn it down so Veronica told Duncan that she needed to have a talk with her to make things better and that she would be riding on the bus.

'Hey.' Veronica says to her as she takes a seat in front of her and she gives her a forced smirk. 'So I hear your back on the cheerleading squad - That's great news.' she rolls her eyes at Veronica. 'uh oh yeah - I forgot.' she pulls out her wallet. 'I'm suppose to pay you right?'

'Never mind.' Veronica says throwing her hands up in defeat and she turns around in her seat facing the other way and crosses her arms to her chest and she seen out of the corner of her eye Meg moving to another seat to get away from her.

The bus stopped at a gas station and so Veronica had gotten off the bus to get some fresh air and some water the bus really did stink and nobody could figure out why and as soon as Veronica was starting to walk back to the bus she heard Lilly's voice calling her and she looked over and seen her running in her pep squad outfit giggling and so Veronica follows her.

Veronica stops to look around for her but all she sees is Weevil bending down looking at his bike he heard Veronica running up and he got up from the ground. 'What are you doing here huh? Shouldn't you be running for homecoming queen or something?' since Duncan and her got together Weevil's went back to treating her like he does all the 09ers.

'You know really Veronica - I never thought you would just give it up to the richest boys in school first Duncan then Logan and now Duncan again, I must say your doing pretty well for yourself since you caught Lilly's killer the first thing you do is go running back to your dead best friends brother.'

'You don't know anything about me.' Veronica says raising her voice to him. 'And you don't know anything about them.' he gets an angry look on his face. 'Yeah I do! Logan treated Lilly like crap and you go and date him and Duncan well he dumped you last year without reason and now all of a sudden your back with him - I don't get it, and here I thought you were smart.'

Before Veronica had the chance to say anything back to him she heard the bus taking off behind her she runs to go stop it but it was to late and Veronica looks back at Weevil and he gives her a smile and puts on his helmet and takes off on his bike and Veronica's left stranded.

- or so Veronica thought, Veronica goes off to call Wallace to pick her up from the gas station but then she hears Weevil's bike pulling back into the gas station and he stops in front of her as she tells Wallace never mind and Veronica hangs up on him - Weevil tells Veronica to hop on and hands her a helmet and we go off to head back to school.

As they're turning down a corner Veronica sees smoke going up into the air and sees people running out of the limo that she was suppose to be riding in and hears people screaming and Veronica goes to the edge of the cliff and she sees that the bus went over the cliff killing everybody in a instant.

'It just went straight off the cliff - it wouldn't even slow down, there all dead.' Veronica hears Gia crying and Veronica hears Duncan coming up behind her hugging and kissing on her in relief that she was still alive. 'This is Neptune - nothing happens accidentally.'
