On best friends.
(asterisk)
Veronica thinks that Lilly would have liked Wallace.
"Geek," she'd say, "but a jock, so the stars are imploding somewhere in the Andromeda galaxy.
"And what's with his hair?" she would add as an afterthought. "I'm feeling trauma."
Besides the first impression, Veronica thinks that maybe Lilly would have liked him because of all the gossip he shares. Perhaps it's Veronica's influence on Wallace -- and Lilly's on Veronica -- but she gets more dirt with him than before he'd been taped to that flagpole, and that's counting the months she spent helping her father.
"It's like having a microphone in the boys' locker room," Lilly might have told them in the middle of a movie. Wallace would have said something about a camera in there if he were paid enough, and Veronica would have thrown popcorn at them both.
But Lilly's gone, so Veronica tosses an extra big handful of salty white goodness at Wallace instead.
"Stop!" Wallace snatches the bucket away. "Molly Ringwald is about to lend him her panties. This scene made me think that there was hope for me in high school."
"How's that working out for you?"
"Do you see any panties in my room? If you do, they're my mother's, and that's just one sad and twisted perversion too many for my head."
Yeah. Lilly would have liked him.
