After Logan and Veronica get off the roller coaster, he wheels Veronica over towards a vendor cart selling cotton candy. He buys her a blue one, remembering the old days when the Fab Four had gone to a carnival and had given the last blue one to Logan. He remembers the puppy dog pout she had on, trying to get Duncan or Lilly to give her a piece of theirs until Logan gave her his cotton candy voluntarily.
As Logan hands the cotton candy over to Veronica, he sees a small smile on her face as she remembers the same memory.
"Thank you, Logan." She says quietly, the same tone she used what feels like so many years ago.
"No problem. Least I can do, as I'm about to abandon you to enter The Hall of Mirrors." Logan points to a building 100 yards away, displaying a neon sign reading THE HALL OF MIRRORS.
Veronica gives him a suspicious look and Logan shrugs.
"What can I say? My mom always liked those things…" he explains, feeling nostalgic. Veronica nods and waves him away.
"Shoo. Have fun. I still have to check out those shops." With that, Veronica departs and Logan turns to head for The Hall of Mirrors.
When he reaching the entrance, he pays 50 cents for his ticket and walks in. As he begins weaving towards what he thinks was the exit, a familiar blonde stands in his way.
"Well, well. Look at you, Logan. Rocking the emo sleeves now, are you?" Lilly teases.
Logan stares back in shock. "Lilly?"
"The one and only. Don't say you forgot me already."
"I could never, Lil. But what on Earth are you doing here?"
"Well you see, technically I'm not here. I'm just a mirage or elusion or whatever the hell you wanna call it. I just want to let you know that its not yours or Veronica's fault that I'm dead. And that you were the biggest jackass to her and this is your chance to make it up. Don't blow it else I'm gonna haunt you for eternity. You guys belong together. You know that, I know, hell even Donut knew how big your crush was on her. We were both too selfish to give you guys up. Now, you have a chance. Don't screw up, Logan. You may not get another one. I want you both to be happy, I just wanted you to know that."
With that, Lilly's form fades and Logan stood staring at himself, mouth open in shock.

When Logan finally exits The Hall of Mirrors, Veronica was is taking pictures of the rides and other pedestrians, her camera whirling at the sight of each frame. Logan walks up stealthily behind her and bends down to see what she was taking pictures of.
"What are you doing?" he whispers in her ear.
Veronica jumps a bit in her wheelchair and turns to face him. She holds up her camera and smiles at him.
"What do you think I'm doing? I'm photographing, yeesh."
Logan chuckles and smiles back.
"Well, how about a ride on the lovely wheel that turns?" he proposes.
Veronica hesitates then replies, "Sure, why not."
The duo head over to the Ferris wheel at the end of the pier and pay the attendant their admission. Logan locks her wheelchair once more and places her in the chair of ride.
Soon they were going around, taking note of the sun setting on the horizon. When they reach the top, the wheel stops turning, as the attendant lets more passengers on.
Veronica, secretly terrified of heights, begins to freak out.
"Logan? What's --- going on? Why --- did--- we---stop?" She begins gasping as if she were running out of air.
Panicking, Logan did the only thing that he could think of to calm her down --- he kissed her.
Veronica's body visibly tenses then, as she gives in to the kiss, participating and even relaxing.
Minutes later, the Ferris wheel begins moving again and Logan and Veronica to separate, both breathless. She stares at Logan as he holds her face in his hands and smiles.
"Thanks." Logan presses their foreheads together and smiles back.
"You're welcome."

When the attendant lets them off the Ferris wheel, both Veronica and Logan wear goofy grins on their faces as they head for the exit of the boardwalk. Logan pushes Veronica's wheelchair, while occasionally leaning down to kiss the top of her head. Then, he sees a game booth out of the corner of his eye and stops the wheelchair.
"Hold on a sec. I won't be long." He kisses the top of her head once more and goes off.
When he returns, he places a brown teddy bear holding a heart displaying in gold script,
