A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been sick and then bombarded with school work. And when I wasn't busy, my muse seemed to be on vacation, so I had writer's block. I'm so sorry this is short but I promise the next chapter will be longer and with a Veronica/Lilly face-off. I'm gonna shake things up a bit!

4 months later...

Veronica stared in the mirror of the bathroom in her apartment. She was applying some mascara and blush for her date with Duncan later that night.

They had been going out since her first day of school when he asked her to sit with him for lunch. Their relationship was going good, as tonight was their four-month anniversary.

Veronica wore a strap-less red velvet dress with little pleats at the bottom. She wore black heels and her hair was curled.

A half an hour later, Duncan rang the door bell to Veronica's apartment. When the door opened, his jaw dropped. Veronica was, in his opinion, absolutely stunning in her red dress.

"Are you going to gawk all night or are you going to take me out to dinner?" she asked, giving him a peck on the cheek then slipped her hand into his.

"Well, I was thinking maybe..." Duncan began, his voice trailing off a bit as they walked to his car. "Maybe I could take you to my house to meet my folks?"

'Uh oh.' Veronica thought silently 'We are getting serious if he wants me to meet the parents.'

Duncan stared at her while she processed thoughts in her head. 'Maybe it won't be so bad' she thought again but she then realized Lilly might be there. She began remembering what Lilly had done to her over the last few months and she made a list in her head.

Lilly's Wrongdoings

1.Busting her headlights

2.Planting a bong in her locker

3.Placing blank fake IDs in her locker

4.Ostracizing her among the 09-ers

5.Writing "SLUT" on her car after an 09-er party

Duncan noticed that his girlfriend in deep thought with a strained look on her face and interrupted her blank stare. "If you are worried about Lilly, I specifically asked Logan to take her out tonight to Dick's party. She won't be home till midnight at the earliest."

Veronica let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Let's go meet the folks." And with that she climbed into Duncan's SUV and headed to the Kane estate.
