The dark haired girl gave her a smile and said confidently, "Hi I'm Summer Roberts I'm your new neighbour." she stuck out her hand and Veronica shook it with a smile. "I'm Veronica Kane," she said and they all smiled knowingly. "This is my boyfriend Seth Cohen," Summer said gesturing to the curly haired boy, "And this is his brother Ryan Atwood," she finished waving at the blonde haired boy. Both boys waved and Veronica frowned, "Cohen, that sounds familiar," she mused trying to place the name. Seth gave a small smile and said, "My dad Sandy Cohen runs the Newport Group." Veronica grinned and said, "Of course you're dad sold us this place." Seth nodded and Veronica said, "Would you guys like to come in?" Summer nodded and they stepped into the foyer. Ryan admired the place, it was very modern and very expensive. Veronica led them into the lounge room and Seth grinned, "I like this place already," he said admiring the built in sofa, Veronica chuckled. Summer smiled and engaged Veronica in conversation. Veronica liked this girl already, she reminded her of Lilly.
Suddenly Seth coughed and said in surprise, "Um there's like a baby on the floor." Veronica frowned and got up. She walked over to the baby and picked her up. "Where's daddy sweetie?" she asked and walked back over to the lounge. Summer instantly fell in love with the child. She was wearing a white dress with pink roses on it and a pink sash. Veronica smiled as Summer started to play with Kally's tiny hands and talk to the baby. "Do you guys want a tour? We might find Logan on the way," Veronica asked and they nodded eagerly. "Logan as in Logan Echolls?" Summer asked and Veronica nodded with a smile. They walked through the kitchen and Veronica got them all sodas. She showed them the down stairs, their were 2 sitting rooms, lounge, kitchen 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. They came back to the foyer and found there were halls leading to stair cases on each side of the room. Veronica led them to the one on the left and they heard what sounded like a car. Veronica sighed and said, "Figures." Summer frowned and they walked in. The first thing they saw was a huge black sofa. It was sitting in front of a mounted plasma and xbox 360. There was a bar in one corner and French doors that opened onto the pool. Sitting on the lounge was Logan Echolls. Veronica saw him and burst out laughing. "Oh Logan," she exclaimed and Summer frowned at him. He was wearing a black and white checked argyle shirt and jeans. A beer was in one hand and a controller in the other. He smirked and said, "You like? I stole it from DK, I know you chicks can't resist the argyle sweaters." Veronica laughed haplessly and said, "Logan that's his favourite shirt," he smirked again and replied, "Exactly why I stole it." she shook her head and said, "Logan this is Summer Roberts our new neighbour, this is her boyfriend Seth and his brother Ryan," Veronica said and he waved. "You play?" he asked and the boys nodded. They sank down on either side of him and immediately started to play. She held up a finger to Summer and said, "Logan next time you're watching Kally don't let her crawl into the lounge room." Logan held out a muscular arm and Veronica handed him Kally. He held her on his lap with an arm around her, "Hey baby girl, you gonna watch how daddy plays video games huh?" he asked her and kissed her forehead.
Veronica started to walk out and her sidekick started to ring. She flipped it open and hit speaker phone. "How's my favourite brother doing?" she asked with a smile. Summer listened quietly. "I'm your only brother V." came the reply and she chuckled, "That's not true I have Wallace," she said. "Oh I'd say he's more your pimp than your brother honey," he replied and she laughed harder. "Now Veronica I seem to have a problem," said the voice and she smiled. Summer watched and realised that she must be talking to Duncan Kane. "And what would that be Duncan?" she asked slightly more seriously. "Well I came home after seeing you guys off to discover that my wardrobe had been thrown upside down and I seem to be missing something," said Duncan and Veronica began to giggle. "I wonder if that would have anything to do with the argyle sweater that Logan is wearing and claimed to have stolen form his beloved DK?" Veronica said. There was a pause on the other end. "Well when I come down to visit you guys I'll be taking it back and something of Logan's with me," he said and Veronica chuckled. "I got to go V. love you honey," said Duncan and Veronica replied, "Bye babe love you too," she then hung up the phone.
Veronica finished giving Summer a tour and they sat down and began to chat. Suddenly Summer asked, "Do you want to go to the beach? Atwood, Cohen and I were talking of going before we came over." Veronica smiled and replied, "I'd love to and no doubt Logan would too."
Summer barged into Logan's games room and said loudly, "Alright guys get up we're going to the beach. Cohen, Chino vamanos." Both boys got up and Logan stood with Kally on one hip. Veronica turned to Summer and asked, "Could you hold Kally while Logan and I change?" Summer smiled brilliantly and answered "I'd love too." Logan handed her Kally and she said "Hello gorgeous," to the child, who grinned happily.
A few moments later Veronica and Logan came down the stairs changed. Logan was wearing a t shirt and board shorts. Shades sat on his face and a nappy bag was over his shoulder. Veronica was wearing thongs and a beach dress. Under Logan's free arm was a surfboard in it's case. "You boys surf?" he asked Ryan and Seth who both shook their heads. "Well you're going to learn," he said and pointed them to a room where they grabbed surfboards.
Summer carried Kally outside while she chatted to Veronica. They waited while Logan showed them how to tie down their boards on the range rovers racks. Suddenly a car came screeching down the road. It halted in front of them and the window slid down. A middle aged man wearing sun glasses was revealed. "Hi daddy," Summer said and he asked, "Summer sweetie who's baby did you steal?" Summer smiled and said, "Dad this is Veronica Kane one of our new neighbours, this is her daughter Kally. Veronica this is my dad Neil Roberts." Veronica waved and said, "Hi Mr Roberts." he waved and drove towards the garage.
"We'll follow you," Logan said and Summer handed Veronica Kally. They walked over to the garage where Logan hit the remote and it opened smoothly. They picked one of the many cars and Veronica strapped Kally into her car seat. She hopped in the front and Logan drove out, one hand resting on her bare knee. They followed Seth to the beach and Logan and Veronica both smiled at it.
