Logan didn't sleep well that night. He kept getting woken by his dreams that were haunted by the faces of people who had a tragic end in Neptune. He saw his mother, Lilly, Cassidy, the kids on the bus it was all too much for him. With each nightmare that passed it grew increasingly harder for him to go back to sleep. Once he seen the sun beginning to poke out he figured he might as well stay awake and do something for Veronica before she wakes up. He thought that she has been though hell the least he can do is make her breakfast.

Cooking was never a strong point with Logan. Why should it be when he has a full time staff to cook everything for him. He searched around the kitchen for simple breakfast food that wouldn't require too much culinary skill. He wasn't sure exactly what Veronica would feel like eating so he pulled out pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs and toast. He figured she'd at least eat one of the options. It took him nearly and hour to pull out all the necessary pans and ingredients. The pancakes were a pain in the ass. He had to try three times until they were just right. He wanted to make sure everything was perfect for Veronica, because maybe, if she notices how much he cares she wont feel so alone without her dad. Everything else on his breakfast list was much easier to make. In no time the apartment filled with food smells.

"Dad?" Logan heard Veronica call. She stepped into the room and her looked around desperately for any sign of Keith. When she saw that it was Logan and not her Keith her eyes flooded with tears and Logan ran over to her.

"I'm sorry, I am so sorry." Was all he could manage to say. The look on her face was like a knife to the heart.. Fuck I'm an idiot. He thought.

"Hey is that breakfast I smell?" Came a voice from the direction of the hallway that sounded a lot like Keith. Logan would have swore he was hallucinating if he didn't see Veronica turn around. After all he sometimes saw Lilly lurking around. He accepted that he might be a little crazy long ago. Although that was not the case. Sure as shit there was Keith standing before him.

"DAD! You're alive!" Veronica cried and threw her arms around her father. "I love you so much."

"I don't understand." Keith sounded confused about why Veronica would think that he wasn't alive.

"Woody's plane, Cassidy Casablancas blew it up."

Keith and Veronica stood talking for moment having one of those father-child moments that Logan never experienced growing up with Aaron Echolls. It seemed like a very private matter, so he figured he would just slip quietly out the door.

As he was walking towards his car he noticed sheriff Lamb lurking around.

"Logan Echolls, we need you to come down to the sheriffs department to ask you a couple questions about your father." Lamb said.

"Well I don't want to answer your questions." Logan replied

"Please Mr. Echolls, we have to know a few things so we can determine who killed him. If you don't cooperate and come down on your own I can have you arrested" Lamb smirked he enjoyed threatening people with arrests. It made him feel powerful.

"I don't care who killed him. I hardly spoke to him since he got out of prison. I really don't know anything so can't help you." Logan responded growing annoyed.

"You don't know anything at all?" Lamb said skeptically.

"Nope."

"I believe you, but there are still some simple questions I'd like to ask you. Come by the station before 3:30 today or I'll have you brought in."

Logan was irritated but he agreed. "Fine."

When he turned his cell phone back on he had two messages the first one was from Trina asking if he knew about their dad yet. She also mentioned that dads death is going to be great for sales when the movie about the Aaron Echolls, Lilly Kane murder comes out.

When he played the second one he almost couldn't believe his ears. It was from Veronica. She said she wanted him to come back inside.

Logan didn't know if he should actually go back inside or not. The last time he was in there with Keith, Keith had thrown him out the door and told him never to come back. He started heading back anyways, welcome there or not, Veronica told him to come back so he will. He just couldn't resist that Veronica Mars.

When he got back to the apartment Veronica and Keith were sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast.

"I gotta say Logan, for someone who probably has never picked up a frying pan before this breakfast is pretty awesome." Keith complimented in a cheery tone that made Logan crack a small smile.

"Thanks Mr. Mars." Logan replied politely

"So why did you run off?" Veronica asked.

"Well your dad is safe, and you two were having a moment. Plus I was never supposed to be here to begin with remember?" He meant for it to sound on the comical side, but he was pretty sure they both caught on to the hurt tone in his voice.

"Logan, that no longer applies. Veronica says that you saved her life last night at the Neptune Grand. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't gone up to that roof. I know my daughter tends to put herself into dangerous situations. I'll sleep easier knowing I'm not the only one who is willing to protect her." Keith said smiling "Thank you."

"It was really no big deal, I mean what else was I going to do? I couldn't just see one of my friends pointing a gun at her and walk away." Logan said casually.

"You know as well as I do most of the other people in Neptune would have walked away and let me die up there. You didn't, you risked your own life to save mine. I'm not going to let you get off so easy so just shut up and be thanked." Veronica said with that look she gave people when she meant business.

Logan sighed "Fine then, does the hero get any of this food he cooked or are you going to eat it all?" He teased.

"Of course, the plates and silverware are on the counter." Veronica replied.

Logan grabbed a plate of food and when he sat back down Keith stared at him.

"So are you two dating again?" Keith questioned.

"Uhh no, I was just looking after Veronica because we thought you were dead, and she was upset." Logan replied uncomfortably while Veronica stayed quiet.

"I see. Well if you two work everything out I want you to know that I approve."

"You do?" Logan asked sounding surprised.

"Yeah I do. I think Veronica would be safe with you." Keith said. "Well you kids have fun I have to go down to the sheriffs department today. They'll want me to fill out the paperwork for finding Woody. Then I've got some cases to get to before we head to New York."

"Okay dad." Veronica said as she gave her father a hug. "I love you dad, be careful."

"I will honey." Keith replied and put on his suit jacket. "See you later."

"Bye dad."

"Later Mr. Mars." Logan called.

"So my dad approved you." Veronica said "That's a pretty big deal you know."

"I know it is, especially considering the deep hatred he had for me before." Logan said looking down.

"I don't think he hated you Logan. He just worries about me a lot and last summer when the PCHers accused you of killing Felix things got really bad. He never found out about the shotgun blast that almost got us but there were plenty of other things that didn't go unnoticed. He was concerned for me is all." She said.

"I never would have let anything happen to you." Logan replied

"I know that, and he does too now." Veronica said.

"So does this mean that we're back on?" Logan asked.

"I don't know. I never stopped wanting to be with you Logan, but last summer you really scared me. I was sure you were going to get yourself killed and I was afraid to let myself get too attached to you. After Lilly died... I just couldn't go through all that again" Veronica admitted.

"Veronica I'm so sorry. I don't know what the hell I was thinking. I was such a mess with my mom committing suicide and I find out my dad is the one who murdered Lilly. Then on top of all that I was accused of killing Felix. I just wanted to destroy everything that I came in contact with. I don't blame you for dumping me." Logan said feeling ashamed for his actions the previous summer.

"Shhh none of that matters now." Veronica said and leaned over the kitchen table and kissed him quickly on the lips.

"Veronica...You're sure about this right?" Logan asked.

"Of course I am." She replied pulling him into a deeper kiss.
