AN: A few profanities here and there, you have been warned.

The music was loud. Logan Echolls can't help but be a little irritated. After all he already experienced this two nights ago.

Once again Wallace and Addy switched roles as the best friends of the bride and the groom. The ladies had their myriad of activities since this afternoon. Meanwhile he and the rest of the men were picked up by an SUV limo and brought back to the same airfield they went to two nights ago. When Wallace used the airfield hangar to throw the bachelor party; two nights ago it was justified. They were partying at four o clock in the morning. But it was only ten in the evening; they actually have four hours more before the cops crash the party.

Although he had to admit that the belly dancers instead of strippers were still cool. The open bar was barely being used. Most of them knew that Veronica would kill them if they attended her wedding with a hangover.

Richard Gilmore and Jason Townsend were smoking cigars as they watched the show. Jess was surrounded by the belly dancers while Wallace, Eli, Keith and Luke looked on.

"Luke, come on a little help here." Jess shouted over the music.

"What? I can't hear you." Luke pretended cup his hand to his ear and shook his head in the negative. He shared a look with Keith who was openly laughing at Jess' discomfort.

"Jess you dog you. I didn't know you had a fetish for belly dancing. I better warn my daughter about that." Keith mockingly yelled for Jess to hear.

"This wasn't my idea. It was Wallace, it's his entire fault." Jess screamed back. This time it was Keith who pretended that he can't hear him.

Jess kept shouting at anyone who would listen to get the women off of him but the other men just ignored him and watched as he became more and more agitated. Hunter was the only one hanging around the bar.

Logan's eye narrowed as he saw the other man. He already disliked him for the way he treated Rory when she surfed with him. That irritation mounted as he kept seeing him eye Addy and had the gall to actually touch her. The knowledge that Addy had feelings for the jackass, the fact that Hunter broke up with an amazing woman like Rory; was enough to make him want to rip him apart.

Logan stalked towards the bar purposefully. He ordered scotch on the rocks and sat next to Hunter.

"Trying to find the prize at the bottom of that glass." He looked at Hunter critically.

"Nah, just thirsty." Hunter forced a smile.

"Drinking vodka won't quench your thirst."

"What do you suggest?" Hunter looked at him through narrowed eyes.

"Water works wonders usually."

"Says the man drinking scotch."

"It's just for show. I need my sobriety if I'm going to be up all night." Logan smirked at him.

"Why would you be up all night?" Hunter asked him coolly.

"Well I need to be alert when I entertain Addy tonight." He waggled his brows at him suggestively.

"Entertain? Is that what you kids are calling it these days?" Hunter frowned at him.

"Among other things." Logan can't help the smirk that was plastered on his face, he was grating on the other guy's nerve, he just knew it.

"Next time try not to call your girlfriend a whore in front of someone you barely know." Hunter glared at him and ordered another shot.

"I wasn't aware I was calling Addy a whore." He lost his smirk at the turn of the conversation.

"Whatever." Hunter waved his hand at him dismissively.

"Those words came from you man, not me. I have nothing but love and respect for Adriana. If you have the balls to call her a whore then why are you here?" Logan pushed his drink away and turned to face Hunter.

"Look, you don't want to mess with me right now."

"Yo, shorty I can take you any day of the week." Logan looked down on him and sneered.

"First of all I'm not short. Second I could take you any day of the week. Finally you know nothing about Addy if you are here trying to start a fight with me." Hunter looked at him dismissively.

"No you don't know her, because if you did you would have been on the next flight back to your side of the continent. No one wants you here."

"I've known her since she was five, I think I can judge if she wants me here or not."

"What a coincidence? I've known her since she was five too. Only I never heard of you till you got here a few days ago."

"You'll know me as her only love when I steal her away from you." Hunter downed his drink and was about to walk away.

Logan grabbed his shoulder and threw a punch. It landed right on Hunter's right eye. Within seconds everyone else came between them. Jess pulled Logan away from him and steered him across the room. Hunter was clutching his eye when someone grabbed his arm and took him outside the hangar.

"I think you should leave." Jason Townsend told him stonily.

Hunter looked a little afraid of the older man. "Sir, I didn't mean to stir up some trouble."

"I really don't have any patience to hear anything you say. To me you are your father's son. The only reason you are still here is because my daughter vouched for your ignorance of what happened to her nine years ago. But I will not have you picking a fight with her boyfriend. The limo will drive you back to the house." Jason turned his back on him and went back to the party.


Hunter was fuming. First he got punched then the first words that Addy's father uttered to him were filled with such contempt.

He headed for the library, not at all ready to head to bed. When he entered the room he could barely recognize it as a library. Curtains were drawn covering all the books. There was a banner proclaiming congratulations for Jess and his impending marriage. There was a map and a pile of paperwork on one of the tables, a few bottles of wine and at the corner was a motorcycle. Adriana was struggling with something right next to it; she did not notice him at all.

"What are you doing?" Hunter asked harshly.

Addy whirled around and frowned at his interruption. "Making sure that this thing is all secure."

"What?" this time he said it in a softer tone. He tried to cross the distance between them but she held her hand up to tell him to stop.

Whatever she was going to say she forgot the moment she saw his shiner. "What the hell? Why are you sporting a black eye?" she frowned at him and then went out of the library.

He followed her as she went to the kitchen. She tossed him a bag of peas and instructed him to put it on his swollen eye.

"You're going to have to wear makeup to cover that up." She stated flatly as she watched him put the peas on his eye.

"Why would I wear makeup?" he winced as his face came in contact with the cold bag.

"You wouldn't want to ruin the wedding pictures with an ugly black eye." She wrinkled her nose at him.

"So why is there a Harley Davidson in the library?" Hunter changed the subject, not wanting to be accused of starting a fight with her boyfriend by her.

"It's a gag gift for Jess, just in case he wants to bolt."

"You are encouraging him to leave his fiancée at the altar." He sounded incredibly shocked at the thought.

"It's a GAG gift." She put emphasis on the word gag. "I was actually checking if it was securely bolted to the floor. It's a joke; I told him when he informed me that he was getting married that I would supply him a mode of transportation in case he feels the urge to be a runaway groom."

Hunter grinned at her and she smiled back.

"So are you going to tell me what happened?" she asked patiently.

"I'd really rather not." He replied as he walked towards her. Addy stepped back and shook her head at him in exasperation. She then shrugged and headed back to the library.

He was closing in on her; she whirled around and faced him. "You have to keep your distance." She told him as he was a good three feet from her.

"Why?" an incredulous look on his face.

"I'm just saying. You wouldn't want another shiner to accompany that one." She pointed at his right eye.

"So you know who gave me the shiner." He looked at her critically.

"Not really hard to guess. Only Logan doesn't punch anyone without good reason. Granted he used to but he doesn't anymore." she shrugged.

"So he ordered you to keep away from me?" he raised his brow at her.

"We more or less compromised. Why don't you retire for the night? I'll help you with that tomorrow." She suggested quietly as she nodded at his black eye.

Hunter shook his head at her, "Now why would he order you to stay away from me? Unless…" Hunter looked like he was discovering something amazing.

"Logan is the jealous type. Would you believe he was threatened by Wallace, teddy bear Wallace? Don't make too much of it." She countered dismissively.

"Look Addy-" Hunter began as he walked towards her, she in turn walked backwards for each step he took.

"Stop right there!" Logan quietly stated from the door of the library.

"What do you have a sixth sense whenever I'm with her?" an exasperated Hunter asked Logan.

"No, I'm supposed to help her with this stuff. See that's what boyfriends do, they don't go calling other men's girlfriends whores." Logan retorted as he walked towards Addy.

"You called me a whore." Addy looked doubtfully between Logan and Hunter.

"No-"

"Why don't you just retire for the night and leave Addy to me." Logan suggested in a steely tone as he put his arm around Addy.

"Logan." Addy whispered warningly.

"I didn't mean anything by it. I had too much to drink that I didn't know what I was saying. I was jealous okay!" Hunter burst out.

"I don't care." Logan retorted angrily. "Why don't you just leave? Go back to whatever hellhole you came from."

"Logan!" Addy shrugged his arm off her shoulder.

"I wasn't talking to you asshole!" Hunter snapped back.

"Hunter!" Addy looked at him angrily.

Logan started to walk towards Hunter while Hunter stared at him defiantly.

"Would you two just stop!" Addy said in an exasperated voice and walked out on them.

The two men looked at the door as she slammed it and continued their staring contest. Not a lot of time passed when she came back. She had a bag of corn kernels which she proceeded to put on Logan's hand tenderly.

"Stop clenching your fist." She ordered quietly. After she made sure that Logan was holding the bag to his hand she walked over to Hunter, took the forgotten bag of peas from his hand and placed it on his shiner.

"Now you two will stop behaving like a couple of jackasses and start acting like the grown men that you both are." Once she was sure that Hunter was going to keep the bag on his eye she went back to Logan's side. She took the bag from him and checked his hand. Logan allowed their fingers to intertwine and shot a triumphant look at Hunter when Addy did not protest. Addy just rolled her eyes at him and smiled.

"You and I promised Jess and Veronica a drama free wedding. Now we are going to keep that promise so no more fighting with your fellow Logan." She looked at Logan intently.

She switched her attention to Hunter, "Now while I understand why you are behaving the way that you are I will not stand for it, not if it means that my best friend will have a less than perfect wedding." She looked at Logan as well. "I'm with you. And when I say I'm with you, I really am with you." Addy focused on Logan who nodded slowly at her words.

She turned back to Hunter, "As for you, if you want to be a part of my life at all you will stop trying to pick a fight with my boyfriend. I am not asking you guys to start being each others BFF, all I am asking for is something that you two are both capable of doing, behave like grown men, you both come from rich, privileged families, you should know how to fake it by now." She stated reproachfully.

The two looked thoroughly chastised at her words. She checked Logan's hand again and kissed his hand softly. Logan's gaze softened at her actions, "Okay." He murmured in agreement.

"I'll do my best." Hunter agreed, despite the hurt that rushed through him as she kissed Logan's hand.

"Now why don't you retire for the night." She suggested to Hunter, "The women are all sleeping soundly over at my house. The bachelor party is supposed to be over in an hour. So they'll be heading back soon. You," she turned to Logan, "check the motorcycle; something is wrong with the bolt. I want to make sure that we are done before Jess gets back here."

"Goodnight then." Hunter looked at the both of them; Logan nodded at his direction and went to the Harley. Addy walked up to him and checked his eye. "Keep it on for another hour then it won't darken as much." She smiled at him and kissed his cheek in goodnight. Hunter smiled at her and nodded again.

Once he was gone Logan frowned at her, "Wipe that frown off Logan. You don't look as pretty with that expression on your face."

"Was that necessary?" his frown turned into a full blown scowl.

"He looked so…you know. It was just a goodnight kiss, on the cheek. It's not like I made out with him." She rolled her eyes at him

"Still." Logan stubbornly insisted.

Addy walked towards him and grabbed his face forcefully. She kissed him on the cheeks on his forehead and finally on the lips. When their lips connected it wasn't long before it became a full make out session.

'There, you win. Satisfied." She murmured against his chest as they parted.

"Hardly." Was his only answer as he pulled her against him and kissed her again.

"Now can we go back to the motorcycle? I don't think it's securely bolted to the floor." Addy relayed once again to Logan's chest.

"Okay, okay." Logan raised both his hands up and rolled his eyes at her.

"So how was the excursion with Rory earlier?" Addy asked as she tried to help Logan with the Harley.

"I can handle this. Just sit on the chair and look pretty. And it was okay." Logan waved her off.

Addy slapped his arm at his remark, "Just okay?"

"Yes now stop nagging, I need to focus."

Addy rolled his eyes at him, "You asked her about Hunter didn't you?"

"Can we not talk about this now?" Logan rolled her eyes at her.

"Fine, as you wish." She conceded.

"As you wish what?" Logan asked her teasingly.

"As you wish oh glorious one." Addy finished sarcastically.

"This time say it without the sarcasm." Logan grinned widely.

"As you wish oh glorious Logan." She shook her head and smiled back.

AN2: Thanks for reading. So that was the big confrontation between LE and LH. I tried to come up with a good enough reason for them to come to blows and LH insulting Addy seemed right. The confrontation between them seemed inevitable especially since they are after each other's girlfriend (or ex in LH's case), and even if I was starting to like LH in this story I couldn't really let him land a blow on LE, he is just too pretty. Anyway, thanks for reading and the next chapter will be up on Saturday.

To my reviewers:

Problem Child1: Thanks for reviewing. I don't mind if you don't get to review every chapter, I'm just happy that you are reading this fic and that you like it as well. And if you loved the Veronica and Jess from last chapter then I think you're going to like the next chapter, since I decided to just focus on them. Thanks again for the review.

Sagebeth: You are not the first to dislike her in the beginning but I'm glad that you like her now. As for her age, she is the same age as Logan and Veronica. I mentioned that she moved to Neptune during the VM gang's junior year. As for the RoganE pairing I think they would complement each other very well. I' m so happy that you liked the Veronica and Jess, they are fun to write about. Thanks for reviewing.

MHxxPAPER DOLL: Hope this was soon enough for you. Thanks for the review. I don't want to give away the ending but it'll be a pretty happy one. As for Logan being attached, I did write him that way. But the reason for his attachment to Addy is not just a romantic one. I'll explain that later. Anyway, your review was much appreciated.

shotwithMrsKim: I'm glad you liked the V/J moment, there'll be more of that next chapter. And regarding the RoganE moment it was meant to be a little awkward with the right amount of flirtation. I guess you could say that their relationship is different than anyone else's, the first time they actually talked they had a very good conversation and the fact that LE confided in Rory tells a lot. As for the Addy factor, Logan pretty much knows that they are doomed, especially since Jess told him that she's in love with someone else. But I will resolve their issues soon enough. Thanks for reviewing.

LoVe23: Thanks for the review. The reason why I wrote in Duncan was because in my mind he could pop up and ruin things for Veronica and Jess if I didn't lay everything to rest. I'm glad you liked it. As for Logan telling Jess that they could ask Rory who the better kisser was, well I couldn't help myself. It was very likely scenario that Logan would put himself in. I did picture the opening scene in my head and Rory being all calm and composed was mainly because Logan talked to her. While LH was cut off before he can be reassured, by Logan who has impeccable timing. Thanks for reviewing, I always look forward to reading what you have to say after each post. And I did watch the CW special, I liked the VM part and also the Gilmore Girls. Can't wait for next week. Have you added the VM cast to your Myspace? I loved Logan's homepage. Interest: Veronica Mars.
