"Veronica you need to calm down," Meg instructed with a smile as Veronica frantically tore apart the dorm trying to prepare for her date.

"I am calm," Veronica snapped and glared. Meg held her hands up in surrender and looked back down at her calculus book. Veronica sighed and looked herself in the mirror her medium lengthen hair was done in loose curls. She fixed her make-up and took a deep breath just as there was a knock at the door. Veronica jumped and went to grab her bag. Mac got up and answered the door. Logan was leaning casually against the doorframe when Mac opened it. She smiled and moved out of the way as Veronica walked out.

"Aww those two are so cute," Meg gushed after Logan and Veronica left.

-

"Chuckie Cheese's?" Veronica asked suppressing a laugh as she got out of Logan's yellow monstrosity of a car.

"What?" Logan asked innocently. "It seemed appropriate. It's entertainment and a meal all in one."

"And dinner and a movie was too normal?" Veronica asked.

"Who wants to be normal?" Logan smirked and pushed the doors to Chuckie Cheeses open. Logan and Veronica walked into the restaurant almost being taken down by a gang of five year olds chasing each other in a rousing game of kill the birthday boy. Logan grabbed Veronica's hand and pulled her through the crowd to a somewhat secluded corner. Logan ordered for them and the waitress went off to get it for them.

"So out of all the dates I've been on I would have to say that this is definitely the…most different," Veronica commented.

"Most different? Is that the a good thing or a bad?" Logan smirked.

"Hm," Veronica tapped her lip thoughtfully. "I'll let you know." Logan and Veronica ate and enjoyed small talk before Logan suggested they play some games.

"I swear this game is fixed. There's no way anyone can win," Veronica complained after he hundredth time attempting to roll the ball past ten. Logan only laughed and suggested they should try a different game. Veronica agreed and grabbed the two tickets she had managed to win. They walked through the restaurant and played a few more games and Veronica was finally able to win more tickets. The two decided to cash their tickets in.

"For you," Veronica handed Logan a Big Bird bobble head. At his confused glance she continued, "to match your car."

"Thanks," Logan laughed then handed her a blue cookie monster plush. "To match your appetite." Veronica laughed and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Very mature. So you want to go for ice cream?" Logan asked nonchalantly as they walked out.

"You truly do know your way to a girl's heart," Veronica smiled.

-

"So this was fun," Logan commented as he walked Veronica to Thomas Hall.

"Yah we should do it again sometime," Veronica nodded.

"Well if you insist," Logan smirked and Veronica nudged him in the shoulder. The two reached the entryway to Thomas Hall.

"So I'll see you around sometime," Veronica smiled fiddling with keys. Logan nodded and smiled. Veronica reached up and kissed him on the cheek before turning around and opening the door.

"Wow," Logan said before Veronica shut the door causing her to turn around. "I must have been a pretty lousy date to get such little action." Veronica laughed and walked over to him pressing her lips fully on his mouth. When Veronica went to pull away Logan pulled her against him and deepened the kiss sending a bolt of electricity threw both of them. When they finally separated they were both breathless.

"So I'll see you around?" Logan asked smiling. Veronica was too dumbstruck to do anything other than smile and nod. Logan laughed and kissed her on the cheek before leaving. Veronica watched him walk away and went in through the door.

-

Before Mac had a chance to shut the door behind Logan and Veronica a tanned, masculine hand made its way between the crack of it. Mac pulled the door open and came face to face with none other then Dick Casablancas.

"Hey," Mac greeted wrinkling her forehead in confusion she figured he was drunk last night and didn't remember their conversation.

"Hey," Dick smiled at her. They stared at each other a few moments before Mac broke in.

"Umm…so what's up?" asked Mac uncomfortably.

"Oh right so I was wondering if you wanted to go out?" Dick asked flipping the blonde hair out of his eyes.

"Uhh…sure I guess, when?"

"Now," Dick told her.

"Now?" Mac asked him in clarification.

"Yah we could like go bowling or something." Dick told her.

Okay…" Mac agreed. "Just wait here for a second." She closed the door slightly and walked over to her bed and picked up her purse and jacket.

"Who's at the door?" Meg asked in a whisper.

"Dick Casablancas," Mac whispered back.

"Dick? Why?" Meg asked with her mouth in and O.

"Long story," Mac mumbled and left the dorm.

-

"So Mac," Dick drawled and propped his head on his hand. "Tell me about yourself." Dick and Mac had driven over to Cosmic Bowling Lanes.

"Not much to tell…I like computers," Mac shrugged.

"Is that why they call you Mac?" he questioned.

"No I'm Mac because of my last name Mackenzie. The computer thing is just a coincidence," Mac shrugged and laced up her bowling shoes. "So are you first?"

"Sure," Dick said and got up to roll the ball. He managed to knock down all the pins. He turned around and smiled cockily at Mac, who rolled her eyes. "You're up."

Mac rolled the ball down the lane and it managed to get into the gutter at the last minute. She mumbled curses under her breath and rolled her second ball down the lane this time she managed to hit one pin.

"You're not very good at this are you?" Dick questioned rhetorically.

Mac chose to ignore his remark. "So I guess you bowl a lot?"

"I used to. My brother liked it so whenever I hung out with him we bowled." Dick shrugged.

"Oh does your brother go to Neptune?" Mac asked and noticed Dick's face drop when she asked.

"No he doesn't. My turn," Dick said and went up to bowl. Mac noticed something off with him when she brought up his brother but shrugged it off figuring it wasn't her place to ask.

-

"So…this was fun," Mac commented as they walked through the campus.

"Yah," Dick agreed. They continued to walk when Dick bumped into someone.

"Watch…oh hey man," Dick nodded to Logan who he had bumped in to.

"Hey Dick. Hey...Mac right?" Logan asked.

"Yah hey," Mac smiled uncomfortably. The three stood for a moment before Mac spoke. "I'm going to get going. See you." She waved slightly and walked towards her dorm. The boys watched her walk away before Logan turned to Dick.

"Are you and her like an item?" Logan asked.

"I don't know man." Dick shrugged.

-

Mac closed the door to her room quietly hoping that either Meg or Veronica wouldn't notice her coming in, but as soon as the door shut the lights turned on.

"Tell us everything," Meg demanded shooting up in her bed.

"There's nothing to tell," Mac sighed. "We were just hanging out."

"Right," Meg said rolling her eyes.

"What? Nothing happened," Mac told them.

"Like nothing, nothing?" Veronica asked. Mac nodded her head 'yes'.

"Sure," Meg said flopping back down on her pillow.

"Night Mac," Veronica smiled.


A/N: Okay I know I haven't updated in forever but I broke my arm and I kept getting frustrated every time I started to write this chapter because I was typing so slow. Also my family just got back from a two-week vacation with my family. So between all that's been going on with my arm and school too I haven't had time to finish this chapter and I feel really guilty about taking so long. Anyways I get my cast off tomorrow so I should be able to get the next chapter out quicker. Please, please review and give any ideas for the story. Thanks!
