You showed me dreams come to life
And taking a chance on us was right
All things will come in a little time
When you believe

After school Veronica sat at an empty lunch table finishing up some homework when Lilly walked up and took a seat.
"Whatcha doing?" Lilly asked
"Finishing up my math homework. I want to be completely done with all my work before Logan's party tonight. I do not want to think about school at all this weekend."
"That's going to be pretty hard, you know that right? I mean an hour after the party starts a good percentage of Neptune High's student body is going to know about the two of you and by tomorrow morning it'll be all over the internet."
"It won't be all over the internet." Veronica said rolling her eyes
"Come on, you're Veronica Mars the most infamous girl in Neptune. Logan's the most infamous guy. Honestly I would be really surprised if they weren't talking about you."
"I'm infamous?"
"Totally." Lilly laughed, "Now what do you say about Meg and I coming over tonight and we'll all ride over there together."
"That sounds fun."
"Awesome."
That night Veronica stood in her room trying to decide on an outfit while talking on the phone with Logan.
"So how many people are we looking at being there tonight?"
"Most of the school, why?"
"I'm just wondering how many times I'm going to hear, 'Are you really dating Logan Echolls?'"
"As many times I'm going to hear, 'Is it true that you're hooking up with Veronica Mars."
"This is going to be a fun night." Veronica groaned and fell back onto her bed.
Suddenly there was a knock at her door.
"Come in!" She called out as she sat up
"Lilly and Meg are here." Keith said as he opened the door a crack
"Thanks." Veronica said standing up, "Logan I'm going to have to go."
"Okay I'll talk to you later."
"You bet."
Veronica hit end and tossed the phone of her bed as Meg and Lilly walked in.
"You're not ready yet?" Lilly teased as she took a seat
"I'm trying to find an outfit." Veronica said as she picked up a red halter dress and held it up against her body, "How does this look?"
"That's hot." Meg said nodding her head
"Thank you Paris Hilton. And Lilly what do you think?"
"I don't know you anymore." Lilly said as Keith opened the door, "You're wearing red; you're showing off your boobs. And I don't think I need to mention the bong. Speaking of which, where is it?"
"Excuse me girls." Keith said looking suspicious at Veronica, "Duncan's here."
"Tell him we'll be right out." Meg told him.
"And Lilly was kidding about the bong." Veronica said shooting Lilly a look, "Tell him Lil."
"Oh totally."
"Uh-huh." Keith said shaking his head as he left the room
"Why's Duncan here?" Veronica asked
"'Cause Meg's his date for the party."
"I wouldn't say date." Meg said hesitantly
"Duncan said and I quote, 'It's a date.'" Lilly tilting her head from side to side, "So it's a date."
"You and Duncan." Veronica said with a smile, "You'd be cute together."
"You sure? You're okay with this?"
"Yeah." Veronica said feeling for the first time all day that letting the cat out of the bag about her and Logan's relationship was going to end well, "Now you guys go see Duncan, tell him I'll be outside momentarily."
"Righteo." Lilly said as she took Meg by the arm and led her out of the room.
Fifteen minutes later Veronica and Lilly pulled up to Logan's house followed by Meg and Duncan.
"Are you ready for this?" Lilly asked as Veronica shut off the car.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Veronica said as she applied a fresh coat of lip gloss to her lips.
"And what about Meg and Duncan? Are you ready for those two?"
"Lilly, I'm sleeping with his best friend. I think I'd be a horrible person if I said I wasn't."
"Yeah you would."
"So I've got a date, Meg's got a date. How about you? Will Weevil be showing up this evening?"
"No, he said he's got 'better things to do than hang out with a bunch of rich jackasses'. His words."
"That's a shame."
"Are you two coming or not?" Duncan yelled as he stood in front of the car with an arm wrapped around Meg's waist.
"Somebody seems impatient for impending doom." Lilly mumbled as she got out of the car.
"Lilly shut up." Veronica whispered as she shut her door and made her way up the driveway.
The four walked up to the house and Duncan opened the door and made his way inside, the whole time with his arm still around Meg's waist.
"DK!" Logan said walking up to the group clinging to his bong.
"Looks like everyone in town heard about this party."
"Doesn't it though?" Logan asked as he put his arm around Veronica's shoulder, "So can I talk to you man?"
"Can it wait? We were going to get something to drink."
"Yeah, sure. It can wait."
"Okay."
Meg and Duncan walked off and Logan turned to Lilly.
"Are they…"
"Uh-huh. " Lilly said taking a deep breath, "Is this the bong?"
"This is the bong."
"Why are you carrying it around with you? " Veronica asked
"Dick was about to use it and I want to keep my bong illegal substance free. You know just incase we have a redo of what happened last time you gave me a bong."
"You've given him a bong before?" Lilly said surprised, "You know I thought we had this really kinky relationship and here I learn that Veronica and yours is even more twisted."
"Are you upset that Veronica took my bong virginity?"
"Not really 'because I mean, well you did take her…"
"Okay!" Veronica exclaimed, "Lilly and I are going to go get something to drink and you need to go talk to Duncan. Okay?"
"Alright." Logan said moving his arm.
And with that Veronica leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.
"I'll be back."
A few hours later Lilly walked up behind Duncan who was standing on the stairs watching the crowd.
"Have you talked to Logan yet?" Lilly asked
"No I haven't." Duncan said as he turned around, "Why? "
"Curious. "
"Okay. Hey, have you noticed how Veronica's been acting around me today?"
"Yeah I have."
"I think she might still have feelings for me."
"I don't know about that."
"But I really feel like something could happen." Duncan said with a smile
"What about Meg?"
"I like Meg I really do but Veronica's the love of my life."
"Duncan..." Lilly interrupted as she watched as Logan and Veronica stood at the bottom of the stairs holding each other closely, acting for the first time like an actual couple.
"I mean I really think that there's a chance..." Duncan continued
"Duncan." Lilly said again
"What?" Duncan asked before he turned around to see what Lilly was so worked up about.
"They're together aren't they?" he asked feeling like someone had punched him in the stomach.
"Yeah, they are." Lilly said softly, looking down at the ground
"And you knew?"
"Yeah."
"How long has it been going on?" Duncan asked with his voice full of pain.
"Duncan..."
"Logan's my best friend..."
"And Veronica's mine."
"Well at least you weren't kept in the dark about it."
"It started around the time that the whole Aaron thing surfaced."
"So we'd been broken up barely..."
"Yeah."
"I gotta go."
Duncan turned back around and quickly hurried down the stairs pushing past Logan and Veronica.
"What's wrong with him?" Logan asked.
"I need to talk to you about something." Lilly said as she got to Logan and Veronica.
"Is this about Weevil being here even though he told you he wasn't going to come?"
"No--wait, Weevil's here?"
"Yeah, I just saw him getting a beer. But you can't talk to him. You need to be dominant. It's all about dominance. I saw this monkey show on PBS and if you talk to him first it's a sign of weakness and then he will not pick you to be his mate."
"Are you drunk?" Lilly asked looking into Veronica's eyes
"I think so yes I am." Veronica slurred
"Oh god. Okay, first of all you don't drink any more."
"That's very dominant. Good job."
"Secondly, Logan Duncan knows."
"Knows knows?"
"Yes. He saw the two of you and I couldn't exactly lie about it 'because he's going to find out sooner or later."
"You did the right thing." Logan sighed as he ran his hand through his hair.
"I know I did. And don't worry he'll be over this in a few days."
"Hello everyone!" A loud voice rang out as the front door opened, "This is Sheriff Lamb and I'm going to ask all of you to please empty your cups and find a sober driver to escort you home."
"And this is just the best ending to a perfect night." Lilly said sarcastically.
Monday afternoon is study hall Veronica sat goofing off with Logan while Lilly frantically looked over her History notes.
"You have no idea what you are talking about." Veronica said laughing, "Fruity Pebbles are the best."
"I have a test in 30 minutes and could you guys please shut up!" Lilly asked as he pulled her History book out of her bag
"I have no idea what I'm talking about?" Logan asked, "You have no idea what you're talking about 'cause Fruit Loops are way better than Fruity Pebbles."
"Blasphemy!"
"Oh my god!" Lilly exclaimed throwing her pencil down, "The one day I actually have something to study for and you guys are having the biggest conversation about nothing ever."
"I think someone's still a little upset that I got drunker than her on Friday." Veronica said, laying her head down on Logan's shoulder.
"No think it's the bong thing."
"I give up." Lilly said as she threw her arms up in the air, "It doesn't have to do with the bong and if it weren't for me being soberer than you, you would have had to have been taken home by Lamb. So you should be thanking me. And by the way if I fail my test I'm blaming you guys. "
"Mr. Kane I'm so glad that you finally decided to show up." Mr. Rooks said from his desk.
"Sorry Mr. Rooks." Duncan said, "I was helping finishing tallying up the votes for the Time after Time best couple ballot."
"Is that in your hand?"
"It sure is." Duncan said as he set it on the desk and proceeded to go sit down next to Beaver.
"Let's see who's on this list." Mr. Rooks said as he scanned it, "Duncan Kane and Meg Manning. Congratulations."
"Thanks." Duncan said quietly.
Ohh," Mr. Rooks said surprised, "and this is comes strait out of left field. Logan Echolls and Veronica Mars."
"Congratulations Duncan." Logan said to his one time best friend who completely ignored him.
