Part 3! Will probably be the last for awhile, unless someone specifically requests more. Reviews welcome!


1. Blue

Whenever Trina had somehow blackmailed him into watching her favorite sappy dramas, he'd always made her mad by scoffing at the characters she deemed "deep" and he labeled "wimpy." It isn't after his breakup with Veronica and his subsequent days as a virtual zombie that he realizes why exactly the melancholy, sad-eyed men in the movies did what they did.

2. Green

He's never really looked good in anything besides black, grown, and occasionally white—so he knows the look on his face as Veronica supports the drunk-off-his-ass Logan Echolls isn't pretty. At this point, Leo doesn't much care anyway.

3. Red

So this is what it means to see red, is Logan's last coherent thought before his fist crashes into Piz's jaw. Later, he realizes that the scarlet that shoots out from the various wounds on the other boy's body isn't a bad color either. Nor is the shade of Veronica's strawberry lipstick. It's just a pity that she's using them to yell at him.

4. Purple

"I'll have you know that purple is a color for royalty. Kings wore this color, emperors paid millions to have a cape this shade."

"Piz…that's ancient history. Nowadays, purple skinny-jeans just ain't cool."

"So, you're saying Ver—girls don't like purple?"

"Not on dudes like you they don't."

5.Black

Logan's never felt so cliché than the moment he realized that without Veronica's smiles, his life was completely dark. Then again, with his past, his family—or lack of a family, and choice of friends, maybe it wasn't such an exaggeration after all.

6. Valentine's Day

It's an uncharacteristic show of sweetness when Veronica hands him brownies for Valentine's Day. Of course, he ruins it by leering and asking how she'd prefer repayment—Weevil has a reputation to uphold, after all, and letting her know how much he actually appreciates the gesture would totally mess that up.

7. Tough

She's always hidden her tears from him before, so Leo feels especially honored when she throws herself into his arms for comfort after a particularly harrowing experience with the Fitzpatricks. Stroking her soft blonde hair, he wonders if she realizes how much strength she's shown by being willing to show her weakness.

8. Dance

She could be drunk, undercover, or fuckin' both, and he knows that she probably won't remember this in the morning—but, holding her in his arms and she rocked her hips against his and moved her fingers through her hair, Weevil doesn't really care.

9. Teacher

He's her professor, and even if she's the smartest kid that's ever stepped foot in his classroom, she's far too young for him. Still, he holds onto a bit of hope until she finds out about his affair and he can see her respect dying in those big, heart-breaking eyes. Then he realizes that she's too good for him too.

10. Kiss

It's nothing like the first kiss that she shared with Duncan, or the passionate way she and Logan ground themselves into each other as if afraid to let go. When Cassidy first kisses Veronica Mars, it's sweet and scared and please tell me I didn't mess that up.

11. Kiss (Part 2)

Veronica's always been perceptive, and she knows the consequences of Beaver—no, Cassidy—sitting next to her at lunch and buying her flowers and asking her out. Sometimes, she wonders if she's a horrible person for wanting a friend so badly that she's willing to put him through that.

12. Hug

It's all innocence and friendship, but as Veronica squeezes him chest to chest and Wallace realizes that he can literally feel every curve of her lithe, muscled body, he realizes that his own body sort of wishes it was something more. He pulls away before he embarrasses himself.

13.Paper

"Logan, I have a paper due tomorrow, and I've still got a couple pages to write."

"Mmph."

"Logan, I really need to ace this class, so could you please…"

"Mmhmm."

"Logan!"

"Yeah, babe?"

"Get off of me and let me finish my assignment." A pause. "Or I'll let my dad know you've been crashing in my room for a week."

"Getting off."

14.Leopard

She's always been the one to throw him off-balance, but nothing could prepare her for the new Don Lamb who was actually nice and competent. Better than competent, even. Maybe, Veronica mused as she watched him cuff the ex-mayor, a leopard could change his spots.

15. Stars

Sometimes, after a particularly bad case or a fight with Logan, she wanders down the street just to look at the sky. She never thinks to wonder why no one ever bothers her—petite blondes walking alone at midnight are usually found dead in gutters, or worse—but the PCHers unobtrusively hanging out a couple blocks away from wherever Veronica chooses to go are enough to ensure her safety. Still, Weevil grumps as he catches a glimpse of blonde heading out her door, couldn't she just buy a freakin' telescope or something?

16. Moon

There's no light in the sky the night Duncan leaves. Veronica knows because she spent it curled up in a ball on the beach, feeling the wind blow away the tears on her cheeks. After a couple hours, Logan finds her asleep and looking so broken that his heart cracks even more than it already has.

17. Sun

Lily always found it annoying that while she burned under the sun, Veronica always managed to tan gracefully. After she informs her best friend of this fact, Veronica smiles innocently at her and replies that after spending so much time with her, of course she'd develop resistance to the sun. Lilly doesn't know why she's blushing, because everyone knows she's fabulous, but to have her best friend say it so matter-of-factly is making her look all lobstery again.

18. Bugs

Veronica laughs as she plucks the spider off Duncan's shoulder, and the taller boy can't help but think wryly that isn't it his job to get the creepy-crawlies away from her?

19. Legacy

Keith Mars always knew that Veronica would break hearts—after all, despite everything she did to deny it, she was Lianne's daughter and attracted just as many men. Still, it didn't mean he had to welcome all the young men who dropped by looking for his daughter.

20. Stay

It's a clear day with just enough clouds to block the normally blistering sun. Her cases are closed, her college applications are in, and for once Veronica Mars doesn't have anything better to do than to laugh and watch movies with her best friends. Lying on the couch and trying not to laugh at Wallace's cornball choice, she has to admit that sometimes, she wishes her entire life would stay like this.
