During 3.18 I Know What You'll Do Next Summer
Mid-May 2007: 32 weeks pregnant
Logan and Veronica are sitting at a table in the food court, waiting for Wallace to get back from his interview with Apollo. Veronica is studying while Logan picks at his French fries, scanning the room.
"Sweetie, look." He points with his French fry to Parker and Gory sitting at a table across the room with two adults. "I bet Gory is meeting the 'rents."
Veronica peers in the direction Logan points. "I guess they're getting serious." She watches the body language of all four people at Parker's table. "It doesn't look like it's going well."
Logan laughs. "No, it doesn't." He dips his fry into the ketchup and snaps it into his mouth.
"Hey." Wallace appears from behind Logan. He turns the chair around and sits on it backwards. "I talked to Apollo." Wallace shakes his head. "It was pretty crazy. The note you had was a perfect match to a grocery list Apollo keeps with him at all times. But he also said that the list he showed me was printed in his local newspaper and could easily be forged." Wallace looks around the food court, avoiding Veronica's eyes, lowering his voice. "I had to tell him I was working for a man that thought he was his father. Sorry, I cracked under pressure. I just really wanted this guy to be his dad, you know." Wallace drops his head thinking about Apollo's stories and his failure to keep his cool.
Wallace takes a deep breath and he and Logan look at Veronica for their next plan of attack.
She looks from Logan to Wallace and back to Logan. "What? Now you want my help?"
Logan clenches his teeth. "Ronnie."
"Okay, okay. Don't get your panties in a bunch." She smiles innocently at Logan then to Wallace. "I wouldn't have cracked under pressure but I think you need to talk to him again. Get him to have confidence that you're trying to help him, not take him for all that he's worth."
"But we're not sure if Kizza is going to take him for all he's worth or not yet." Wallace adds.
"Don't tell him that, Loose Lips." She stands and kisses Logan. "I gotta go give my notice at the library then work my shift. I'll call you when I'm done, okay?"
"I think I'm gonna come to the library with you and start studying anyway." Logan says as they leave the food court. Wallace walks with them to the door than goes in another direction with a wave goodbye.

Logan is working at a table in the back corner of the library. Veronica is sitting behind the library help desk checking books as Parker walks up to the desk.
"Veronica, do you have a minute to talk?" Parker is holding back tears.
"What's the matter, Parker?" She comes around the desk and puts her arm around Parker's shoulders.
"Oh my gosh, G just told me that he was going to visit his family in New York City all summer." Parker whines, holding back tears. "He never mentioned it. The whole summer. What is that? Is it just me or is it crazy that he never said anything about it before he met my parents earlier today?" Parker wipes her nose with a tissue. "I totally blew up at him in the middle of the quad. Can you imagine? The middle of the freakin' quad for everyone to see and hear." Parker sniffs.
"Yeah, actually I can." Veronica says under her breath.
"I told him I hated him and I wanted him dead and that he can go wherever he wants to go over summer break because I won't be around when he gets back." Parker cries harder as she speaks. "Oh, shoot. Why do I even care? It's not like he treats me that well. Maybe I should just go on my way and find someone new?"
"So, Mac's not around to talk about this stuff?" Veronica says sweetly, trying not to upset her friend more.
"Mac's fallen into the black hole of new love." Parker smirks. "She only comes up for air."
Veronica cocks her head.
"I'm sorry to dump on you, Veronica. You're a good friend." Parker wipes her eyes with her soggy tissue. "I have to go tell Piz, I don't want him to say something awkward to G, you know, since they hang out a lot. I'll see ya." Parker walks off as quickly as she appeared.

Mac taps on the pool house door softly.
"Come on in." Dick yells from the sofa, not looking away from his video game.
"Hey, you look like you could use help with that." Mac says innocently, pointing at the television screen as Dick's character gets stabbed.
Dick hears Mac's voice and drops the video controller from his fingertips, letting it drop to the floor as he leaps to his feet and strides across the room in two steps and begins kissing Mac's lips.
She laughs against his lips. "Didn't I just see you before my class?"
He chuckles. "Were you the one that brought me doughnuts this morning or was that my other girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend, huh?" Mac says with a smile as she backs away from Dick's lips.
He pulls her closer to him. "Mac, do you want to date me exclusively?"
She looks into his eyes. "No bimbos or one-night-stands?"
Dick nods no. "No, nerdy computer love or beachy surfer dudes?"
Mac kisses his jaw and neck and pauses. "Wait, aren't you're a beachy surfer dude?"
Dick chuckles. "Yeah, I guess I am." He looks in to Mac's eyes deeply and clears his throat. "Will you be my girlfriend, Mackie?"
"Yes, I will Dick." Mac agrees and he kisses her lips passionately with intensity and heat Mac has never felt in a kiss before.
Slowly, Dick walks Mac over to the sofa as he ravages her neck with his mouth. He lowers Mac to the sofa cushions softly and lies on top of her, never separating his lips from her skin. His mouth make a trail down her neck to her collarbone as his hands tickle the skin at her waist.
Mac's fingers tangle in Dick's hair as her eyes close and her head drifts back against the cushions.
Dick's fingers slide up to Mac's breasts, taking her shirt with them. He kisses her stomach, nuzzling his nose into her skin and works his kisses up to her boobs. His fingers wiggle under the underwire of her bra and he pushes the material over her breasts, attacking them with his tongue.
He draws circles around each nipple with the tip of his tongue and watches the pink nubs perk up with his affections. Mac moans when he sucks her firm breast, leaving hickeys on the precious skin. Dick's right hand twists and pulls her left nipple gently.
Mac arches her back and pulls his head into her body, subtly directing his actions.
Dick slides her shirt up and over her head as Mac stretches her arms to help his efforts. While her arms are above her head, Dick takes the opportunity to remove her bra quickly also.
He adjusts his body to better remove her clothing and looks deep into Mac's eyes for an extended moment. "Mac?"
"Hmm." She places her arms around his neck tightly.
"I want to make love to you right now." Dick says with a low, sexy voice.
"Do you have protection?" Mac whispers.
He nods affirmative. "Do you… I mean… Are you… um… ready..."
She looks into his eyes and smiles at his nervousness. Mac smirks mischievously and pulls him into a deep kiss as her fingers tug at the hem of his shirt. She pulls it over his head, releasing his lips only to let his shirt pass.
Dick kisses down her neck to her breasts as his hands fumble with her jeans' zipper and awkwardly opens her fly. He pulls her jeans and underwear down over her hips, exposing Mac's patch of neatly trimmed pubic hair.
She arches and wiggles out of her jeans. Would a skirt have killed you, Mac? Skirt equals easy access, not the tightest freaking jeans you own.
He pulls her clothing off her legs and pushes them to the floor as he returns his attention to her warm folds. His fingers spread her skin as his tongue licks her clitoris and he slowly slides his fingers into her vagina as he kisses his way up her stomach and continues to her breasts.
"Oh, God." She arches into his fingers to gain friction.
Mac loosens Dick's khakis and lowers her hand into his pants. "Commando today, huh?" She laughs.
"Can you reach my wallet?" He asks in between kisses.
She walks her fingers around his waist and expertly pulls his wallet out of his back pocket. "I guess you need a condom?"
"That would be great." He plays with her nipple with his tongue.
Mac pulls the foil square out of his wallet with her fingertips and tosses the wallet on to the floor.
Dick continues his assault on her chest and rolls to the side slightly. Mac rips the condom wrapper open carefully and places the rubber on his rock hard erection with slightly shaking hands.
Dick laughs into her skin. "It pays to be pre-..." He gasps when her hand wraps around his firm penis and strokes it up and down quickly.
"Fuck, Mac, I'm not going to last long if you keep doing that."
She teases. "Should I stop?" She alternates between stroking his shaft quickly and rubbing the tip with her thumb softly.
"No!" Dick breathes as he sucks the soft skin of her tits then kisses up to her neck and across her jawline, kissing her chin, nose and forehead tenderly. He looks into her sparkling eyes and positions himself at her opening.
Mac's hands move to Dick's butt and she grabs his toned ass. The tip of his cock sits at her entrance as she pulls him closer and he pushes in to her canal with one swift thrust.
"Ahhhhh!" She moans with a slight wince of pain.
"Oh, fuck! Did I hurt you?" Dick pauses for a second so she can adjust to his presence and holds his weight up on his arms.
"No, no. It's just..."
He lowers his head onto her shoulder. "Oh God, you were a virgin, weren't you? Oh shit."
"NO! I wasn't a virgin, I... I just haven't done this too many times."
He raises his head and looks into her eyes. "This wasn't it, I didn't just manage to fuck up your first time?"
She smiles and nods no. "I guess you're just bigger than I'm used to." She says seductively and starts to gyrate her hips.
"MacKenzie, are you sweet talkin' me?" Dick jokes as he lays more of his weight on Mac and matches her movements.
"If that's what it takes to get you to move your ass, then so be it." Mac smiles and wraps her legs around his lower limbs, adjusting their position and adding to her desired friction.
Dick quickens the pace and kisses Mac's mouth roughly. She moans into his mouth and runs her hands from his butt, up his tan back to his shoulders.
Dick slows down and pulls his shaft almost all the way out then pushes in with force, hitting her cervix.
"Oh God. I'm getting close." Mac moans, pulling his shoulders toward her slightly.
He tugs at her hard nipple with his teeth and she squeals. Dick does it again a little harder and Mac starts to shutter. Her hands clutch his shoulders tightly as her eyes close and her head cuddles into his neck. "Oh. My. God. Dick!" She yells into his skin.
Dick pulls her nipple with his teeth a third time and rapidly pushes into her tight canal.
"OH GOD!" She yells louder and loses control. Her fingernails scratch his shoulders and her inner muscle tighten around his erection, making him cum at the same time, blacking out his vision and curling his toes.
Her whole body tightens and pulsates as he gasps for a breath and falls onto her chest solidly. Their sweaty bodies stick together as they both try to catch their breaths and calm their racing hearts.
"Holy fuck, Mac. That was the best fuckin' sex I've ever had." He breathes heavily into her neck.
"Ah, it was alright, I guess." She deadpans.
Dick peeks at Mac's profile from his position on top of her, nuzzled into her neck. "I hope you're kidding."
She giggles and he shifts his weight to the side of the narrow sofa, pulling his spent cock out of her warm, wet core. "Do you want a cigarette after that fuckin' romp?" He laughs against her skin.
"No, but some water would be great." She turns toward him to lay face-to-face on the narrow leather sofa and he throws his arm over her upper body to pull her in to his chest.
He kisses her forehead and smiles adoringly at Mac. "I have to get rid of this rubber, even though I could lay here all fuckin' night with you."
"My question is: how do you expect to get yourself up and over me when I don't plan on moving?" She grins and wedges Dick into the back of the sofa further.
He returns her devilish grin. "Don't tempt me, woman. I'll flick you right off this couch so fast, you won't know what hit you."
Dick gets a naughty look in his eye and acts like he's going to push Mac onto the carpet but pushes up and over her instead.
He walks past the coffee table, grabbing his cell phone and tosses it back onto Mac's stomach with a 'plop'. "You want some take-out, call whatever you want and get it delivered. I'm getting hungry."
Dick casually walks in the room from the bathroom and gets two waters from the bar on his way to the sofa. As he passes the coffee table, he drops a handful of condoms onto the table and watches them land in a small pile.
Mac is laying on her side with her back to him. He touches the ice cold water bottle to her back and she shrieks and arches to get away from the icy coldness. "Dick!" She whines.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist." He says as he climbs back into his position, wedged in the corner of the sofa. Mac cuddles into to his chest and closes her eyes.
"Did you order anything?" He whispers and kisses the top of her head.
"Nah, too tired." She mumbles.
"Too tired for this?" Dick says as he pushes her back flat against the sofa and begins to lick and kiss and bite her breasts.
"Mmm. I think I'm awake." Mac moans. Dick bites her skin a little harder. "I'm awake. I'm awake." Mac yells and giggles under his touch.

Logan slams the driver's side door of the Mercedes-Benz harder than he should of and walks around the hood of the car to help Veronica out.
"Thanks, Babe." She says as she stands upright and kisses his mouth.
"Um. What do you want for dinner tonight?" Logan says against his wife's lips. He pulls back slightly. "I'm hungry for pizza."
A beat-up Dodge Neon, blaring bad eighties heavy metal music and a Cho's Pizza sign attached to his roof, turns into the Echolls driveway.
Logan and Veronica peer at the disturbance on their property.
"Wow, that was quick." Veronica jokes.
"Of all the things in my life that I've willed to come true and I get pizza?" Logan sighs loudly. "This fuckin' sucks."
The teenage delivery man walks to the couple, looking at the receipt. "Plain, half pepperoni for... um, Mac?" He looks at Logan then Veronica. "That you?"
"Hold on." Logan says as he whips out his phone and dials Dick's cell.
"Hey."
"Whatcha doin'?" Logan teases.
"Nothing, why?" Dick nudges Mac away from his nipple and laughs.
"Are you alone?" Logan continues.
"Maybe."
"It seems a pizza has been delivered to us for Mac. Any idea where she is... 'cause Ronnie is pretty hungry and-..."
"Christ! She's right here." He exhales, irritated. "Just pay for the God damn pizza and I'll be up to the house in a second to get it. You fuckin' asshole." Dick snaps his phone shut.
Logan smirks and shuts his phone and digs for his wallet. "It seems Mac's in the pool house." Logan says with a jackass grin.
"You don't say." Veronica says with a straight face and turns to collect her things from the car as Logan pays the delivery guy, holds the pizza in one hand and takes Veronica's messenger bag in the other.
"I talked to Parker today and she was talking to me about girly things because, it seems, Mac has been consumed with luv." Veronica says, drawing out the last word, as she and Logan enter their house.
Backup greets them at the garage door but quickly runs to the back door.
Logan watches where Backup goes and sees Dick happily walking to the door in only a pair of board shorts.
Dick sees Backup and pauses then slowly taps the door. Dick waits for the dog to sniff him, bark once then return to the kitchen, before he enters the living room.
Logan shoves the pizza in Dick's bare chest. "Dude, you didn't even bother to order enough for us?"
"Hey, blame Mac. She ordered it." Dick tries to take the pizza and leave but Logan continues to hold the box in it's place. Dick looks at Logan. "Dude, what the fuck?"
"Twenty-five bucks."
"Jesus, what did you do pay him like fifty percent tip?" Dick complains.
"No, fifteen covers the pizza and the extra ten is my fee for having to intercept your pizza for you while you're gettin' laid."
Dick scoffs. "Yeah, I'll get right on that." He yanks the pizza box out of Logan's hands and goes back to the pool house, glaring at Logan through the door as he shuts it behind him.

Veronica sits behind her desk at Mars Investigations with the phone to her ear. "Hi, it's Veronica Echolls. Um, I'm trying to track down Apollo. I've left several messages on his cell phone."
Apollo Bukenya's roommate says nicely, "Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, he hasn't been around."
"Any idea where he might be?"
"Olympia's, maybe?" Apollo's British roommate, Harry, thinks for a second. "Oh, you know who might know is, uh, Zeke Molinda. He's one of the guys from the African Student Alliance. Oh, wait, you know what? I don't think they're even speaking anymore."
Veronica scribbles down the information on to a notepad.
Harry continues. "They had some sort of falling out. Uh, have you checked with Dr. Tonin? I mean, she's practically his mum."
"Uh, that'll get me started. Thanks. Bye." She hangs up the phone.

Veronica bends to find a book she needs on a shelf in the library and sees Gory look through the shelf, back at her. "You were just waiting for me to start pulling out books?" She takes another book from the shelf.
"No, I'm just browsing." Gory says irritated. "Did you talk to Parker yesterday?"
Veronica finds a third book and straightens up, heading for the help desk. Gory follows her to the desk.
"As a matter-a-fact, I did." Veronica says as she places the books on the counter.
"Did she tell you she screamed she wants me dead in the middle of the quad too?" Gory's anger bubbling to the surface. Veronica nods yes and sits in her seat behind the desk, separated from G by a few feet.
Gory is seething. "You should've stayed the fuck out of it." He threatens through clenched teeth, leaning over the countertop, getting in Veronica's face. "Whatever you said to her, now she won't answer my calls."
"Hey. I had nothing to do with any of that." Veronica holds up her hands in defense. "I was just a shoulder to cry on."
"Fuck you bitch. This is not over." Gory spits and leaves the library.
"Nice to see you too, Asshole." Veronica says under breath.
