Disclaimer: I do not own Veronica Mars or any of the character.
(A/n: Ok so I know I said I didn't like the last chapter. I had no inspiration for it, so I forced myself to write this chapter, and I've never been as happy with a chapter as I am with this one. So I'll let you get straight to the story, and I'll reply to my reviews at the bottom.)
--------------------------------------------------
Veronica didn't get anymore sleep that night. Every time she closed her eyes, she was back in the freezer. She would never admit it, but she was scared. There was no way in hell she ever wanted to be back in the freezer. Whether it was a dream or not.
'It's this house. No matter how much I tried denying it, this house creeps me out. I keep thinking Aaron is going to jump out of the corner and yell BOO! Not to mention the way dad yelled at me. I know he's only trying to protect me, but I'm a big girl. I can make decisions on my own. They may not be the right one's all the time, but their still MY decision's. I'll just have to explain to him. What can be so important about those papers anyway? It's not like he can do cases from the hospital bed.'
"Logan, you awake?"
Veronica has her back to him with his arm around her waist. When there is no reply, she turns so she can see the alarm clock. It's 4:37 in the morning.
"Logan wake up." She elbows his shoulder. He grunts, but doesn't say anything else. Just lays there. She rolls over onto her back, and she stares at his face.
'He looks so peaceful when he's asleep. Like there's not a care in the world. Lucky for him. He can sleep fine. I was able to sleep like that through the night. Even after everything that's happened. It's this house that's giving me nightmares. I know Aaron is in the hospital, in pain. Not enough pain if you ask me.'
'What would Lily think of everything that's happened? She would probably be happy that Logan and I are sort of together. And she would be happy that Aaron is finally getting what he deserves. As for Duncan, she would be surprised with the way he's been acting. But she would probably just blame it on Celeste. Or his medication.'
'Oh yea, I wanted to wake Logan up. But why? What is there to say? Maybe I just need someone to talk to. To distract me from my own thoughts. Too sing me to sleep. Haha, can you imagine Logan singing me to sleep? That would be so funny.'
"Get your ass up!" Veronica pushes him. He flinches and sits up. "What is it?" He turns to Veronica. "Is it you're father again? Did you have another nightmare? What's going on? What time is it?"
"Logan calm down. It's none of the above."
He lies back down and turns on his side and props his head up on his hand so he's facing her. "Then why did you wake me up?"
Veronica looks up into Logan's face, and tries not to smile as she say's, "I want you to sing me a bedtime song."
He just stares at her. "You want me to what?" He puts his hand on her stomach. "You woke me up for that? That's it now you're gonna get it. He start's tickling her sides. She squirms while she laughs and screams.
"STOP! OK I GIVE! YOU WIN! HAHAHA! UNCLE! UNCLE!"
Logan stops tickling her, and they get back into the position they were before. With her on her back and him on his side with his hand holding his head up.
"Seriously, sing me a lullaby song. I can't get back to sleep. There are only a few more hours before school starts. Pwezze?" Veronica pouts while sticking her lower lip out and giving him the puppy dog eyes.
"Damn. How the hell am I supposed to resist that pout? And the puppy dog eyes? Fine. I'll do it, but there's only one lullaby I know."
"So let's hear it."
"hehmm." Logan clears his throat. Veronica tries not to laugh. "Don't laugh. I can't do it if you can't take it seriously."
"Ok. I promise." Veronica makes the zipper motion over her mouth and throws the key away. "Ok here goes."
"Starkle, starkle, little twink, Who the hell are you I think, I'm not under what you call, The alcofluence of incohol."
Logan stops. "What's so funny?"
Veronica couldn't hold it in anymore. She bursts out laughing. She laughed so hard, that she was crying and holding onto her sides because they hurt so much.
"Thanks Logan. I really needed that."
"Don't you want me to finish?"
"Haha. You really know the whole thing? And you want to continue? By all means Logan, continue."
'Meanwhile I'll try not to pee my pants from laughing so hard.'
"I'm just a little slort of sheep, I'm not drunk like thinkle peep. I don't know who is me yet, But the drunker I stand here the longer I get. So just give me one more fink to drill my cup, Cause I got all day sober to Sunday up."
"How do you remember the whole thing?"
"What can I say? I'm gifted like that." Logan blows on his fingers and brushes them across his chest.
"You keep telling yourself that."
Veronica turns her head to look at the clock again, and sees that it's 5:54. The suns trying to stream in through the shades.
'Wow. I can't believe I missed the sun coming up. Oh well I guess I can get up now and get ready for school. So much for singing me to sleep.'
Veronica sits up and gets out of bed and starts limping towards the bathroom.
"Where are you going? Come back to bed."
"Logan it's almost 6:00. It's time to start getting ready for school."
She walks into the bathroom and takes a shower. After that, she gets ready for school. When she's done, she walks back into the bedroom and sees that Logan is still asleep.
'What a baby. Hmm maybe not a baby. His ass is too perfect. Time to wake that ass up.'
She takes the towel she had in her hand, twists it, and then snaps his ass with it.
"AHHH! Jesus Mother Fucker! What the Fuck!" Logan screams as he rolls over and once again falls off the bed. Veronica is hysterical again. Logan continues to curse as he holds his ribs trying to lesson the pain. When she finally stops laughing, she walks back into the bathroom to get Logan his pain medicine and a glass of water. She comes back into the bedroom to see him sitting on the edge of the bed still holding his ribs. She hands him the water and the pills, which he downs. He gets up, walks right by her and into the bathroom to get ready for school. Veronica rolls her eyes at him and walks to the kitchen where she gets herself some breakfast.
------------------------------------------
Day 4 of school seemed to fly by. Prom was tomorrow and Veronica and Logan haven't even talked about it yet.
Wallace and Georgia sat down at the lunch table with Veronica and asked her if the Four of them were going together.
Veronica snapped "Why don't you ask him."
"Damn girl. Didn't mean to offend you. But Prom IS tomorrow. It's a simple question. Are we getting a limo for the Four of us? It's a yes or no question."
"Sorry Wallace. I didn't get any sleep last night."
Wallace raises his eyebrow and gives her a half smile. She smiles and throws her fry she was about to eat into his face.
"Very funny Wallace. Yes I was with Logan last night, but it's not what you think. I couldn't sleep because Duncan came over and we got into a fight. Just thinking about that house gives me the chills." Veronica shudders as if to prove a point. "But actually staying the night, well let's just say it gave me nightmares. Not to mention Logan is mad at me this morning. He hasn't talked to me since I woke him up this morning. The second time."
"Remember what I said about too much information? I don't want to hear about a second time. I don't even want to think about a first time. Look you got me thinking about it. Quick change the subject!"
"Ok. Umm..Picture this. Bathtub filled with bubbles, slow jams on the radio, candles lighting the room, and Logan and I in nothing but..."
"Veronica STOP!" Wallace says while covering his ears with his hands. "What did I tell you about not wanting to know? My virgin ears can't handle this type of information! I said change the subject to something like, I don't know MATH! What's 2+2? That kind of stuff."
Veronica and Georgia laugh at him. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees Duncan at the 'Popular' table with Meg sitting in his lap. 'I guess he finally got the message that I'm not interested anymore.'
Logan walks up to her lunch table and sits down next to Veronica like nothing happened this morning and puts his arm loosely around her waist. As if he hasn't been ignoring her for the last couple of hours. "We need to talk about Prom."
"Well it's nice of you to grace us with you're presence." Veronica says sarcastically.
Logan smiles at her. "I knew you would see it my way toots."
"Toots? Did you just call Veronica toots? OK I REALLY don't want to know what happened last night. If you keep this up Georgia and I will go to Prom without you."
"Seriously. I don't know if I want to go to Prom. I figured Veronica and I can do something else. Spend the night alone on an actual date."
"You would miss Prom for a date? Isn't this the event of all events?" Wallace says to Logan.
"It's only the Junior Prom. We still have next year to do 'The Prom' thing." Logan turns to Veronica. "Then again, maybe we can rent a limo and just ride around in it all night while getting drunk. Just like old times."
Veronica looks over at Wallace. She can see that he's disappointed. That he wants to do 'The Prom' thing this year. "I don't even have a Prom dress. We don't have Prom tickets."
"Today's the last day there selling the tickets. And you and Georgia can always go Prom shopping together. Please Veronica. I really want to do this."
Veronica turns to Logan. "This can be fun. I think we should go to Prom."
"Fine. We'll go to the Prom, but remember Veronica you still owe me two wishes."
"What did I say about being you're genie in a bottle?"
"And what did I say about not hearing the details? That's it. Come on Georgia it's time to go get the tickets."
"Georgia you stay with Veronica, and I'll go with you to get the tickets."
They get up and go get the tickets.
"It's nice to see you around again Georgia. Staying away from e-mails asking for money?"
"Haha. Yea I learned my lesson. I won't be such a sucker next time someone asks me for money."
"So are you excited about going to Prom?"
"I'm excited to be going with Wallace. I really like him Veronica. I mean I thought I was in love with my last boyfriend, but it wasn't love. I guess I never got passed the surface."
"Well Wallace is a great guy. I think you guys will be great together."
------------------------------------------------
When school got out, Logan drove Veronica to the shop to pick up her car. She drove to the Office to work on some cases, and wait to visit her father so they can talk about last night.

(A/N: Ok I just finished this chapter. I am so proud of it, so I'm going to post it right after I spell check. This chapter didn't go where I wanted it to. It came out so much better. I got so into it. I know everyone will like it. This is my all time favorite chapter. Lol. Anyway, you guys know the drill. Please review and let me know how much you laughed and enjoyed it.)
Slippery Dip: Lol I know this wasn't as fast as you wanted, but I got it out as fast as I could.
Shimmering Rose Petals: Yes I'm glad Duncan got what he deserved. Don't get me wrong, I like him, but I don't think he and Veronica are right for each other, and he can act strange when he's on his medication.
Rhapsodysenigma: Thank you. I didn't like it, but I guess it was still good. I hope you like this one better. Thanks for letting me know you would be honest if you didn't like it. Love ya lots
Epona9009: You are THE best reviewer any girl could ask for. LOL. Gotta love long reviews (especially when it's all positive). I know what it's like to have to be in a mood to review. So I don't mind that you waited. I think it's important to review reviews. Lol. If they take the time to write something, well then it's only fair that I take the time to write back letting people know that I read the reviews and take them to heart. Yea sometimes I need to go back to previous chapters to see what I left out, and who needs to be in it again. Speaking of which, I need to bring Weevil back in my story. And you're right about the way he reacted. I would think any father would react the same way about their daughter. I tried to keep Duncan in character. Wasn't sure if I got it right. Lol but it sounds like I did.
Lauren: Lol as soon as you wrote that it was a filler chapter, I knew that the chapter was ok. LOL I remember when you showed me you're filler chapters and how you weren't happy with it. But I ended up loving them. Lol I know you'll love this chapter. The song is for you. Love ya buddy!
