"So where is he taking you tonight?" Lilly asked Veronica over the phone.

"I'm not sure Logan said it was a surprise," Veronica said and shuffled through her closet looking for something to wear. "I wish he would have told me. How am I supposed to know what to wear?"

"Just go half classy and half casual," Lilly told her.

"Mm good idea," Veronica agreed.

"Hey Veronica can I ask you something?"

"Sure go ahead," Veronica responded on half paying attention to their conversation.

"Do you like Logan?" Lilly blurted out. It was a question she had been pondering for a week; she just gathered the nerve to ask her.

"What no! I could never like Logan Echolls. He's a player and a jerk He's incapable of love," Veronica said trying to convince herself more then Lilly.

"Fine Veronica. But if things change you know you can tell me," Lilly said sincerely.

"Thanks Lilly. Listen I have to go I'll talk to you later," Veronica said.

"All right buhbye," Lilly said and hung up. Veronica finished getting ready for her date. She had been ready for ten minutes before her mom called up that Logan was there. Her stomach swirled at the mention of his name. She smiled and ran downstairs.

"Hey," Logan greeted.

"Hey. Mom I'll be home late," Veronica called as she exited the house. Those were some of the only words she had spoken to her mom since her fight. Logan escorted her to his yellow monstrosity and opened the door for her. Logan got in on his side and started driving.

"So are you going to tell me where we're going?" Veronica asked.

"Hm... nope," Logan smiled and looked over at her only to see her glaring at him. "You'll know when we get there."

"Fine," Veronica huffed. She hated to be out of the loop.

"Man your hot when you pout," Logan joked. Veronica smiled despite herself.

"Are we almost there?" Veronica whined. "We've been driving forever."

"We've been driving for like ten minutes," Logan laughed.

"Well if I knew were we were going it wouldn't feel so long," Veronica pouted.

"Quit whining we're here," Logan said and got out of the car, Veronica follow suit. Logan took her hand and guided her towards a beautiful boat. He had prepared a platter of food and champagne.

"Oh my gosh Logan," Veronica breathed. "This is too much."

"Nothing's too good for you," Logan said and kissed her cheek. Veronica smiled and Logan helped her onto the boat then handed her a flute of champagne. After that Logan unhooked the boat and began steering it out of the marina.

"It was nice of your parents to let you use their boat," Veronica commented.

"Yah well they don't know," Logan shrugged. He turned around and looked at Veronica who was giving him an expression between shock and nervousness.

"Don't worry they won't notice. They have four other boats and they are away in L.A for the weekend," Logan soothed.

"Do your parents go away a lot?" Veronica asked curiously.

"Enough, they usually only go away when they are filming," he explained.

"Oh cool are they like directors or something?" Veronica asked.

"Um no they act," Logan told her.

"Oh that's cool."

"Yah, how about your mom what does she do?" Logan questioned. He was surprised that Veronica wasn't star struck or already aware of whom his parents were.

"Well my mom has her degree in psychology but she doesn't really work anymore because we move so much. So she lives off the money my dad left," Veronica said. Logan nodded at her answer. "So Logan do you know where we are going or are you just sailing aimlessly?"

"Hey I'll have you no I am a master sailor. And to answer your question we are sailing aimlessly. But no worry I'll find my way back," Logan smiled and Veronica laughed. A few hours later Logan and Veronica were sitting around playing I never.

"Okay...hm…I've never…gone skinny dipping," Veronica said.

"What you've never gone skinny dipping!" Logan said shaking his head in mock disappointment.

"What? It's not like normal people normally swim naked," Veronica defended.

"Maybe but still," Logan sighed.

"Shut-up it's your turn," Veronica playfully slapped him on his arm. Logan sat for a moment thinking.

"I've never…been in love," Logan said. Veronica drank out of her glass.

"Never?" she asked.

"Nope but I'll let you in on a secret," Logan said and wiggled a finger telling her to come closer. Veronica leaned in towards him. "I've never been in love but I have a feeling I'll fall very, very soon," Logan whispered. Veronica smiled at him. He looked at her in the eyes and kissed her passionately. When they broke a part they were gasping for air.

"You're definitely not what I expected Logan Echolls," Veronica smiled.

"Yah well I love to surprise people," he told her. He kissed her gently then looked down at his watch. "We should head back it's getting late," Logan commented.

"Okay," Veronica agreed. They stood up and Logan walked over and pulled the anchor out. Once the anchor was out he headed over to the steering wheel.

"Hey you want to try," Logan asked directing to the steering wheel of that boat.

"Sure but I'm giving you a fair warning I have the coordination of a blind chimp," Veronica said.

"Well then I guess I will have to help you," Logan beamed. Veronica walked over to the wheel and placed her hands on it. Logan came up behind her and guided her hands properly. He stood behind her with his hands supporting her waist. Veronica with the help Logan was able to steer the boat into the marina.

"See you don't have the coordination of a blind chimp. You almost went the right way every time," Logan said.

"Well I would have gone the right way every time if you used normal talk not your fancy boat talk," Veronica smiled. Logan shook his head and tied the boat up. They got into Logan's car and he dropped Veronica off at her house. They got out and Logan walked her to the door.

"So I'll see you later?" Logan said. Veronica nodded and leaned up and kissed him. "I should get going it's really later," Logan whispered once they broke apart.

"Okay see you Monday," Veronica said. Logan kissed her forehead and left. Veronica smiled and went inside. She had to call Lilly things had definitely changed.


A/N: Okay I know the chapter was really fluffy, but I love fluff. And I was wondering if anyone knew if a boat's steering wheel has a name for it. It was bothering me and no one in my house knows. So anyways please, please review!
