"Veronica what is so important about a rat? I MEAN they called their own daughter one too." Logan said as he looked as Veronica as if she were crazy for freaking out about a rat.
"How do you know all of this information about the trial, Duncan never told this to me?" she questioned.
"Well I did live with him for some time; I guess I am just a good listener."
"Where is my bag? I need my phone."
"Why is this so important?"
"Logan I promise I'll tell you soon, I just need my phone right now," she said shuffling through her bag.
"Fine, here use mine," he said as he handed his to her.
"Thanks," she said as she grabbed the phone and dialed Duncan's number.
"Hey Logan what's up," Duncan said.
"Actually it's Veronica; I'm on Logan's phone. I need to ask you a question."
"Sure, what's the matter? Is Logan okay?"
"Yea, he's fine. My question is what did the Manning's say about a rat in the courtroom."
"Why do you ask?"
"Just flatter me please!" she said getting a little angry.
"Well they were really mad when the judge appointed me full custody of Joy. So they screamed out, something like I can't believe you are giving that rat our granddaughter. She should be in our custody. If our daughter was still alive, they baby would be with us, not with him. I mean it's not our fault that these two rats conceived a child, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be brought up in a better society not by a mere teenager."
"Wow, Duncan I'll call you later I have to call someone else right now."
"Are you ok?"
"Never been better, bye," she said as she closed the phone, Duncan could tell that this information obviously meant a lot to her.
"Well?" Logan questioned and Veronica's smile grew bigger
"I have to call my dad," she said as she grabbed the phone once again and dialed his number.
"Hello?" Answered Keith questionably as he didn't recognize the number.
"Hey dad, it's me, I have some news for you."
"What would that be?"
"I know who caused the bus accident. When are you coming home from Houston?"
"Actually my plane just landed, I can meet you at Mars investigation in about twenty minutes."
"Ok see you there," she said as she closed the phone and looked at Logan, who was more confused than ever
"What do you mean you know who caused the bus crash? It was the bus driver's fault!"
"Just as killing Felix was your fault?" Logan looked at her, "just what I thought. And no the bus driver did not kill himself along with a teacher and students." She then grabbed Logan's keys are ran for the front door.
"What do you think you are doing? You are not driving my car!" he yelled as he went after her. On the way to Mars Investigation Veronica filled Logan in with all the information she had collected along with the new information she just found out.
Logan then pulled into Mars Investigation and Veronica jumped out of the car.
"Aren't you coming?" she asked.
"No that's okay, I don't want to be a disturbance," he replied.
"Well I'll come over your house when we are done here," she said as she leaned in for a kiss.
"I'll be waiting," he said as he drove off.
'I don't blame him,' Veronica thought as she walked into the reception room, 'the last time my dad and Logan were in a room together things got a little rough. They really don't have a good history together.'
"Are you and Logan dating again?" Keith said as soon as Veronica walked in.
"I don't know it's difficult to say."
"Veronica, I really don't want you to date him, I mean even if he was proved innocent by the judge and jury doesn't mean he really is," Keith said with an expression of concern on his face.
"Wow, are you behind on the times," Veronica said as she then explained the case to him. She then went on to tell him the news of the bus crash. Keith then made some calls and ordered the transcripts of the case of Duncan Kane versus the Manning's to be faxed to Mars Investigation.
A few days went by before anything happened with the case. Keith finally had the information he needed to prove to Lamb that the Manning's placed the bomb on the bus.
"Bye, Veronica," Keith said as he headed out of the door.
"Dad, wait, you forgot this," Veronica said as she grabbed a folder off her desk.
"Thanks Hun," he said.
Five minutes later Logan stopped by.
"So how is it going with Lamb," he questioned.
"Do you see me in the room with them? How am I supposed to know?"
"Come on, I give you more credit than just sitting here and waiting for the news. What did you do?" Logan questioned as Veronica smirked.
"Actually I did nothing," she said in self-assurance.
"Sure."
"No really, I had Weevil bug the place, he was going there anyway for some reason, so I gave him something to put in Lamb's office," she said with a smirk.
"How clever of you," he said as he kissed her neck. They started kissing and it was starting to get very passionate. Soon enough Veronica was unbuttoning Logan's shirt.
"Okay, we have to stop," Logan said.
"Excuse me," Veronica replied as she sat up.
"Come on, this is where your dad works and who knows what sort of cameras he has set up here," he said as he looked around the room.
"Logan that is so stupid, why would he have camera's here?"
"You never know, maybe he wants to see what you are up to and who comes in while he's away."
"Fine, let's go over your place," replied Veronica as she got up and grabbed her bag.
"Wait, what about hearing what's happening at the Sheriff station?"
"Who cares, we know what happened. We know that the Manning's found out that Meg was pregnant; they knew that Duncan and her were going to be on the bus. They also knew I was going to be. They knew that Duncan broke up with her to go out with me. To them Meg having a baby would ruin everything that family stood for and would ruin Meg's life especially if she had to care for it by herself. So they figured why not set off a bomb on the bus, kill the baby and hurt the people who hurt her. They never expected the bus to fall off a cliff and to kill many more innocent people," Veronica really fast as she looked at Logan, "Is that okay with you? Can we go now?"
"Veronica, what has gotten into you?"
"I'm sorry, it's just that thinking about this whole thing makes me wonder what is going to happen next. I mean who knows if someone set a bomb in my car, I want to spend my time with the people I love and care for."
"Veronica?"
"Yes Logan?"
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
"You're going to ask me this time, instead of announcing it to the whole school at your house?"
"Yes, I am going to ask you."
"Of course I will be your girlfriend."
"Great let's go then," Logan said as he grabbed his keys and walked to his car. Soon enough they were at Logan's house and clothes were thrown all over the house. Two hours later Veronica's cell phone rang. She turned around to see Logan's face. His arms around her body felt so right.
"You better go and get that," he said as he opened his eyes and looked at her, "it's probably your dad."
"Fine," she said as she kissed him on the forehead and wrapped a blanket around her body. She went to go answer the phone. He dad told her that Lamb is now charging the Manning's with the bus crash. He also told her that he and Alicia have decided to get married with a small ceremony in a month. Veronica was going to be Alicia's maid of honor and Wallace was going to be Keith's best man.
The next few weeks flew by. Prom was coming up and Logan had asked Veronica, she went shopping with Alicia to find a prom dress, which she would also wear at the wedding. She then went with Alicia to find a wedding dress. Over the past month Alicia and Veronica had gotten very close and Veronica was happy that her dad found Alicia.
The Friday before the Wedding, Wallace and Veronica had stayed home from school. They helped Keith and Alicia set everything up. Soon enough it was the big day. The ceremony was short and sweet. Alicia and Keith were officially married and Wallace and Veronica were officially step-brother and step-sister.
Logan and Veronica were dancing at the wedding when he whispered something in her ear, "Is this a good time to tell you that we were nominated Prom King and Queen?"
"You're joking, who would vote for us?" Veronica said nearly choking.
"Might I say Miss Mars, you have a lot of friends, I mean with all those cases you help solve, who wouldn't like you?" Logan said.
"I doubt that we win," Veronica replied.
"You never know," he whispered in her ear and he spun her around.
As weeks went by Veronica's senior year was quickly coming to an end. Prom was actually a very fun experience for her. She and Logan hung out with Wallace, Georgia, Cassidy and Mac at the dance and then had an after party at Logan's with them. Logan and Veronica did in fact win King and Queen. Veronica believed that Logan threatened everyone he knew to vote for them, but he never agreed to this accusation.
The final days of being a senior finally came to an end. And it was finally graduation. The school had set up outside for the ceremony. There were tears of joy and of happiness; there was also memories that flew in and out of people's minds. And finally the time came when Principle Clemmons said, "And here are the graduates of Neptune High School Class of 2006."
Logan saw Veronica staring off at the school and he walked up to her.
"Hey are you okay?"
"Yea, it's just so many memories went down at this school, I mean this has been my life for the past four years. If you told me last year after Lilly died that I would miss this place I would have laughed in your face. But this is the place that Lilly and I had so many secrets and did so many things. And now, with all the people I care about and love, and loved, they are all moving on separate paths. Even you," she said looking straight into his eyes.
"Veronica, we have to talk…"
