a wee shorty for you. sorry this took so long i was plannig to have this up a few days ago. enjoy!

Veronica was searching though her computer when she came across a file named 'Homecoming times!'. Veronica opened it and smiled when she saw it was a video taken by the four of them when they went out to homecoming. Instead of hitting the dance they had an all night limo party. Veronica had gotten drunk, and hadn't gotten in till very early next morning, making all of their parents furious.

'You should never have bought your dress without me there.' Lily scolded Veronica as she smoothed down the long pale pink dress that Veronica had picked out for herself. 'I can just see you in a scarlet red strapless number, it so goes with your personality.' Lily smiled over her shoulder at Veronica, who giggled at her.

'So what are you wearing?' Veronica asked.

Lily raised her eyebrows. 'You'll see.'

--

15 minutes after Veronica, Logan and Duncan were ready Lily finally emerged from the bedroom, wearing a stunning gold backless dress which plunged down at the front, exposing her marvellous cleavage. Veronica smirked as Duncan's eyes burst from his head and Logan sighed in disgust.

Lynn Echolls was not amused. 'Pull up your dress Lily.' She scolded and the four grouped together for pictures.

Ignoring her mother, Lily exposed herself more. 'I'm only young once!' She smiled.

The group posed for countless silly photos before the limo arrived. Running in, Lily popped the champagne and they set off towards the school.

'Are we going to finish that before we get to the dance?' Veronica asked.

Logan and Lily looked at each other and smirked. 'What dance?'

Veronica's mouth fell open and she started shaking her head, but the three others started nodding back at her. 'No… my dad will crush me if he finds out!'

'So you're grounded for a week, whatever, you can keep your amazing memories from this night!' Lily squealed.

Logan smiled down at Veronica, giving her a quick peck. 'Relax,' He murmured in her ear.

And she did, well, 5 champagne glasses later. Veronica was feeling sort of fuzzy, while everyone else was wasted, singing along to the music blaring through the limo.

'I've never really been drunk before.' Veronica slurred.

'You genius!' Lily squealed, pouring more drinks. 'Let's play I've never!'

Veronica's smile faltered, these games never ended well.

'I've never skinny-dipped.' She set the ball rolling as Lily's eyes grew wide.

'No way!' She gasped, before taking a drink along with Duncan and Logan. 'You're a skinny dipping virgin as well as an actually virgin?'

'Lily!' Veronica scolded as Duncan smirked.

'What? It's fine to be one.' Logan kissed her gently on the lips. 'I'm one too.'

'Noo!' Lily covered her ears. 'I can't believe I've had sex before you!'

'Lily, we're the same age. It hardly matters.' Logan replied.

Lying in Logan's arms, Veronica was dozing in and out of sleep as the limo pulled up to Lily and Logan's house. The night had been a massive blur of drinking, kissing Logan, a lot of kissing Logan, running around on the beach, not quite skinny-dipping, and lots of talking.

Veronica had had a fantastic night, and Lily was right, she was never going to forget it.

'Oh shit…' Lily murmured. 'They called the cops!'

Veronica sat up quickly, then regretted it as her head started to spin. The four stumbled out of the limo, giggling and trying to compose themselves.

'That was like, the best all night dance ever!' Lily exclaimed, stretching.

Lynn Echolls studied her daughter. 'Are you drunk?'

'Well,' Lily slurred. 'Not so much anymore, more was drunk.' She giggled.

'Get in the house now, both of you.' Aaron Echolls growled at Lily and Logan.

Logan turned round, kissing Veronica softly before leaving to go into the house. Lily however, stormed over to Duncan, giving him a passionate kiss, lastly longer than appropriate, before following Logan in.

'Any trouble caused in this family is always caused by you!' Lynn Echolls shouted after her as she followed them into the house.

Veronica looked up at her dad. 'We'll talk about this when you're sober.' He said, walking to the car. Veronica followed slowly.

---

Veronica woke at her desk with a start, just as Lily winked at her from her laptop. She must have fallen asleep remembering that night. Taking the disk out, Veronica stuffed it in her bag and made her way to the school.

Forgetting she had to walk, it took Veronica much longer to get to class than she had anticipated.

Walking along the corridor she heard Lily's laughed, and instinctively followed the sounds. She entered the room where Logan was still working on the video for Lily's service.

Logan noticed her but said nothing, he just kept working. They were in silence for a good 5 minutes as Veronica watched the short movie Logan had made.

'What part of my ignoring you makes you think you are welcome?' Logan asked quietly, not looking up.

Veronica walked over, taking the disc out of her bag. 'I found this in my room.' Logan looked at her blankly. 'It's a cd of our homecoming limo last year, it has a lot of good Lily footage. I thought you should maybe show Lily for who she actually was, not who her mum wanted her to be.'

'You don't know Lily, you don't know who she was and you certainly don't have a say in how I show her.'

'So I wasn't her best friend?'

Logan glared up at her. 'You didn't know anything about her, you didn't know the real Lily, not the way I did.'

'You can't say that Logan!' Veronica cried at him. 'You have no right to say that. I was her best friend! I knew a lot more about her than you did!' She yelled, tears threatening to fall. She wouldn't let Logan see that, so she turned and walked away.

'So does your dad still think my father did this?' Logan's voice asked. Veronica turned round. Logan was standing up now, but his voice wasn't harsh, it was broken.

'That's my sister Veronica,' He choked out, tears streaming down his face. 'Your friend, Duncan's girlfriend.'

Veronica stared at him, stunned to silence at the very quiet outburst.

'You dad is destroying my family. What's the matter with you people?' He sniffed, looking her straight in the eye. 'What's the matter with you?'

Veronica stared back at him, tears finally streaming down her face.
