Disclaimer: I do not own Veronica Mars or any of the characters.
Little-Miss-Rachel: Thank you thank you. I knew everyone would like this chapter. Yea I would have nightmares too if I were her. Hmm...Has Duncan realized it? Or is he trying to make her jealous? LOL. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
rhapsodysenigma: I'M SORRY! Lol I had a misprint. I meant that I finished the chapter. Not the story. There will be plenty more to this story. Sorry to scare you like that. As soon as I read your review, I went back and changed it. Hope you like this chapter.
Twisted3ljw: LOL I did dedicate that song to you. You were the one who taught it too me. You were also the one who reminded me of it. I hope you like the convo with her father. It was a lil hard to write. Lmao that was a kick ass chapter after your slump.
Mrs. Boyscout: Thank you for enjoying my story! It means a lot to me to have new people reading and reviewing LOL as for the song, my friend introduced it to me. It's a drunken song that's on the internet. Keep reading and reviewing!
Epona9009: Ahh my favorite reviewer! Yea Wallace was dramatic, but he was doing it to be funny. I'm sure you know how over imagining can lead too. Yes Duncan is hard to write. He's so unpredictable. Especially since I haven't decided whether he's still on medication or not. As for Weevil, lol I'm not sure where to put him back into my story. We all know he's not gonna go to Prom, so it might have to be afterwards. Veronica was scared to be at the Echolls house, but she's stubborn, so she didn't want to look scared and leave. Plus I think we all know that in his own way Logan comforted her. I imagined Logan to be like me in the morning. Lol I am nowhere near a morning person. And the lullaby I got from my friend. Glad you enjoyed! And keep enjoying.
Sara: Aww shucks :P You flatter me. And I love it Lol so keep it up! Yea I love responding to my loyal reviewers, because if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't think anyone likes the story, and probably would have stopped a long time ago. So I'll keep writing as long as people keep reviewing. Thanks for enjoying my story.
Nina6305: Thanks for letting me know. Lol I wondered if you still were. Keep reading!
Angel6582: Thank you! Prom will be next chapter. Thank you for loving this story! Hope you continue to enjoy.

After Cliff came for the paper work, which he wouldn't tell her what they were, she went to the hospital to visit her father.
When she entered the room, her father wasn't there. "Dad?" She checks the bathroom, but the door is open and no one is in there. She walks back out into the hallway and over to the nurses station.
"Excuse me, but can you tell me where Keith Mars is?"
The nurse checks the computer, and tells Veronica that he is in for a check up.
"Do you know when he will be done?"
"In about 20 minutes."
"Ok thanks." Veronica walks back into her father's room and mentally prepares herself for what is about to happen. She goes over her mental notes. Making sure that she asks him all the questions she wants to. For instance, what happened to her check?
20 minutes go by, and Keith is being wheeled into his room by a male nurse. Veronica is asleep on the chair next to his bed, so the nurse quietly helps Keith get back into bed.
Keith stares at his daughter. He can't believe how they got to where they are. He never would have thought life would turn out the way it did. He never would have wished this life on his daughter. Though he is proud of how tough she is. That she can stand up for herself. Doesn't let anyone push her around. And she's stubborn too. Just like her old man.
Keith smiles.
Just then Veronica's head falls to the side and she jerks awake. She looks around the room trying to figure out where she is. When her eyes finally focus, she sees her father staring at her with a smirk on his face.
Veronica cautiously says, "Hey dad. How did it go? Are you walking yet?"
Keith decides to humor his daughter for the moment. "Not yet, but hopefully soon."
Veronica gives a half smile that doesn't quite hide her sad face. "Good. I'm glad."
Keith decides to get straight to the point.
"About last night Veronica. I don't appreciate you being out all night without telling me."
"I know dad, and I'm sorry."
"What were you thinking anyway? You know how I feel about Logan. And you should know how I feel about his dad. He is the one who put me in the hospital. He's the reason I need to learn how to re-walk. Like I'm a cripple!"
Veronica tries to hold in her tears as she sees her father getting angrier by the second. He started out so calm, but the mention of Aaron set him off.
"I know you're mad at Aaron. So am I. But dad, Logan isn't Aaron! He and I worked things out. We were honest and open. He knows I'm sorry, and I know he's sorry."
"That's no excuse. You can't just one day decide to be with him again. Not after the way things were. After the way you guys treated each other. I would understand if you and Duncan got back together. But Logan? Veronica I don't even know how things started with you two. When did this happen?"
"It just happened. He came to my rescue when I was in trouble. I don't know. I guess I saw the real Logan when I was helping him find his mother. He was so upset. We understand each other!"
"Veronica you're my only daughter. I don't want to lose you. I already lost you're mother, and I don't want it to happen again."
"What are you saying?"
"I'm saying I don't want you seeing Logan anymore. I FORBID IT!" Keith yells that last part getting red in the face and panting like he just ran a mile.
Veronica looks like he just back handed her. She had in incredulous look on her face, while her jaw is hanging open.
"You what?" Veronica whispers. Tears in her eyes.
Keith doesn't say anything at first. He just stares at her. He's never yelled at her like this before. But never has he disagreed about a family as he does the Echolls.
"I. said. I. don't. want. you. seeing. him. ever. again." Keith punctuates every word.
Veronica is openly crying now as she yells "DADDY I LOVE HIM!"
Now it's Keith's turn to look like he's been slapped in the face.
"It's you're choice Veronica. As soon as I get out of the hospital, I'm looking for a house with Alicia. You can either agree with me and come with us, or you can disagree, and well..."
Veronica's mouth drops open. "What are you saying? That I have to CHOOSE between you and Logan?" Veronica screeches.
"Yes."
"You can't make me do it. You can't make me choose. Why are you acting like this? What do you have against Logan? What has he done to you? And don't give me that crap about Aaron. That won't work. They are two different people!" Veronica is sobbing by now.
"Veronica I am the father. What I say goes. I don't trust him. I don't trust the whole family. You're forgetting I used to be the town sheriff. I am a private Investigator. I hear things. I know what goes on at those parties. I know what goes on in Tijuana. He is no good for you. Now I'm sorry I have to do this, but that's final." Keith says with finality in his tone.
-----------------
"Veronica did you hear what I said?"
"What? Oh no. Sorry Georgia. I guess I must have spaced."
"That's ok. I just wanted to know what you thought about this dress I tried on."
Veronica looks in front of her and sees 5 Veronica's looking back. She tried on a strapless hot pink dress. She looked over to her right and saw that Georgia had on a bright red dress.
Veronica scrunches up her nose and tilts her head to the side thinking about it. "Nah. It's too...poofy."
Georgia looks down, then she looks up into the mirrors with the 5 angles. She slowly twirls in the mirror, and says, "You're right. And it itches too. I don't like yours either. It's too...bright. Ha-ha you could blind your own date."
Veronica forces a laugh. They both head back into the changing room to try on one more dress. They had been looking at dresses for hours now. Going from shop to shop. Because it was last minute, all the good dresses seemed to have been taken.
They walk back out with their last dress, and decided they didn't like those ones either. Looking back at all the dresses, they seemed to both agree that the first ones were the best choice.
They paid for their dresses, and went to the food court in the mall. After they finished their lunch, they decided where they were going to get everything else. They still needed shoes, hand bags, and jewelry. Of course you can't forget about their hair, nails and make-up.
Veronica has been in her own world all day. Ever since she had that argument with her father. She couldn't believe he was making her choose. He knew he couldn't forbid her, because she would still see him, so he made her choose.
A few more hours later and they were finished shopping. They got their shoes, hand bags, and jewelry. They also got their nails done, and are gonna do each other's hair and make-up tomorrow.
On the car ride to drop Georgia off at her house, Georgia looks over at Veronica and sees her deep in thought with a sad look on her face. She's been like that all day.
"Veronica, thank you so much for taking the time out to do this with me. You are a great friend. Were going to have a lot of fun tomorrow, and from the looks of it, you're going to need it."
"Thanks Georgia. I'm glad to be doing this with you. I had a great time. It's not often I get to do anything...girly."
"Wallace asked me to be his girlfriend yesterday. And I said yes! Isn't that great news?" Georgia gets a huge smile on her face. Just radiating because she's so happy.
Veronica forces a smile. "Yea that's great news. I'm happy for the both of you."
"What's wrong Veronica? Why are you so sad today? Does it have to do with Logan?"
Veronica doesn't answer right away. She's debating on what to say and what not to say. She doesn't really know Georgia that much.
"That's ok if you don't want to answer that. I mean we don't really know each other, but I'm here if you need me."
"Thanks Gerogia. I really appreciate the offer. I'm just not ready to talk about it. When I am, I will talk to you."
"Great. I will be there."
Veronica pulls up Georgia's driveway and puts the car in park. She turns to Georgia.
"I had a great time today. Even though you weren't all there. Which is understandable. I hope after Prom, we can still be friends."
"I had a great time too, even though I wasn't all there. But don't worry. I think were gonna be great friends."
"Thanks for the ride. Call me when you're coming over tomorrow."
"Ok I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye."
"Bye." With that said, Georgia gets out of the car and walks to her house. When she gets to the porch, she turns around and waves at Veronica. Veronica waves back, then backs out of the driveway and drives home.
