A/N- Oh I finally have a good idea for the rest of the story! Sorry it took me so long to update, I've been swamped with schoolwork and such. I will add a mystery for Veronica to solve soon. Check out my one-shot/song fic if you want, I haven't got that many reviews for it. Thanks for the reviews for this story though!
Living for the moment, that's what your supposed to do. Your supposed to forget the past, wait for the future and just live. It's hard though, when one thing you do can affect the future, or one thing from the past can come back to haunt you.

"Stop eating my fries, I'm hungry." Veronica was laughing as she slapped Mac's hand away from her food.
"C'mon, you've got a full box." Mac took another one before Veronica could swat her again.
"Buy your own!" Veronica pulled her fries up to her.
"I'm trying to save up for a really cool computer program, it's costly."
"Fine, we can share."
The two friends sat and ate French fries. Duncan was too sick to come to school and Wallace was at an away basketball game so Veronica and Mac were the only two sitting at their table.
"Hey Veronica, can I sit with you?" Laura came up and asked shyly.
"Sure join us."
"Hi I'm Mac." Mac smiled and put out her hand to shake Laura's.
"I'm Laura, Yesterday was my first day." Laura reached her hand out and shook Mac's.
"Welcome to 4 years of ridicule, backstabbing and hate." Mac smiled and laughed as she said it.
"It'll only be 3! She's in the 10th grade." Veronica threw in.
"Your lucky, you got one year of happiness and love." Mac said, still jokingly.
"It actually doesn't seem that bad so far, I've met some pretty nice people." Laura said nicely.
"Your one of the lucky ones." Mac and Veronica said at the same time, laughing.

After school Veronica hopped into her Le Baron and headed towards the Neptune Grand. She stopped to get Duncan some soup, and a few of his favorite chocolate chip cookies. She got to the door and started knocking, hoping she wasn't waking him up.
"What a pleasant surprise." Logan answered the door smiling. "Awh shucks, is all that for me, you shouldn't have."
"Where's Duncan?" Veronica said, trying to ignore his previous comments.
"I thought he was with you, he wasn't home when I got here."
"Oh, maybe he went to the doctor." Veronica was a little bit worried; the stuff Logan had said to her a few days earlier began to bother her.
"Yeah, Maybe." For once Logan didn't act like a jackass and make a remark about how Duncan was cheating on her. He felt bad because that's what he thought was happening, but he didn't want to worry her even more then she already looked.
"Okay, tell him I brought him this." Veronica put the bag on the table near the door.
"You can wait for him if you want, he shouldn't be long." Logan was sincere, but he ruined it with a joke "We can have a little secret rendezvous before he gets back."
"Damn, I forgot the protection. Maybe next time." Veronica laughed "But I will stay and wait, I want to see how he's doing."
"Aww a caring, protective girlfriend how sweet." Logan smirked and pulled out a movie. "Ferris Bueller's Day Off anyone?"
"I didn't take you for a Matthew Broderick fan."
"We all have our guilty pleasures."
The two of them sat at opposite ends of the couch and watched the movie. When the movie ended Duncan still hadn't come home.
"I'm just going to go, I have homework and stuff." Veronica grabbed her coat and went out the door.

"Veronica?" a squeaky voice from behind, walking into the bathroom where Veronica was washing her hands.
"That's my name."
"I hear you solve stuff."
"They told you about my super skill in math?"
"Umm no, but I was told you do Private investigations and stuff."
"I know I was kidding, math isn't my strong point. What do you need help with?"
"It's my boyfriend, he's sort of gone missing."
"What do you mean sort of?"
"Well he calls, and he says that he can't tell me where he is."
"Maybe he's okay, he's just taking care of things."
"On the phone, he sounds like he's in trouble."
"Okay, has he left you any messages?"
"Yeah, here listen." The girl handed Veronica her cell phone.
"Hey Maria, just calling to check in. I just want you to know I love you no matter what I will always love you. I'm sorry; sorry for everythi-" The message was cut off before he could even finish.
"What did he do to make you sorry?" Veronica asked.
"Nothing, that's why I'm scared. What if someone is trying to kill him?"
"If you think someone is trying to kill him, shouldn't you talk to the police?"
"No, he wouldn't want that. Please help me Veronica."
"Okay, first of all what's your name."
"Maria McGuillis."
"And his name?"
"His name is Robert Davison."
"Okay, who were his friends? Who did he hang out with?"
"Umm, Dick Casablancas, Logan Echolls and Duncan Kane."
"Oh… I'll get right on it.
"Thanks." Maria left the washroom.
I remember Robert. Of course they call him Bobby so I didn't recognize his name when she mentioned it. He was always a quiet guy, never too rude to me. He used to be the designated driver at the big 09'er parties. I guess to start, I can question his buddies, all of which I know too well.

"So Dick, where's Bobby?" Veronica was leaning against his car.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Dick replied madly.
"Have you seen your friend Bobby lately?"
"We haven't talked since September. I slept with his girlfriend and he got mad."
"Wow, you're a great friend."
"I was drunk, and his girlfriend was hot!"
"Okay Dick, that's all I needed to know."
Okay, so Dick hasn't seen him. I guess I should try Logan next.
Veronica walked over to Logan's lunch table. "Hey Logan, how about that Rendezvous we were talking about the other night?" Veronica grabbed Logan's hand and pulled him around the corner. All of the other people at the table were staring in awe.
"What did I do now?" Logan questioned.
"How do you know I think you did something?" Veronica replied.
"The tone of your voice when you said 'rendezvous' gave it away."
"I was just wondering if you've seen your buddy Bobby?"
"He's in my math class, but he hasn't been for a few weeks."
"His girlfriend thinks he is in trouble. Do you have any idea where he could be."
"Is this the same girlfriend Dick slept with?"
"I don't think that matters, I just need to know if you know where he is."
"Nope, but if I figure something out I will tell you."
"Okay, and did Duncan get home last night?"
"No actually, he came in this morning."
"Oh, thanks."
"Yeah, no problem."
Where would Duncan have been all night? Maybe this all has something to do with Bobby.
Veronica decided to go see Duncan. She hopped into her Le Baron and began on to the Neptune Grand.
When she got there, he was gone again.
A/N- Sorry for the shortness. Please review, good things will come of it.
