I don't own anything.

II. Chapter

It was one of the good days; day that was usually warm and pretty simple. A smell in the air was predicting fun, beach and nice moments. Maybe Veronica was little bit in the better mood after so many months and a good day helped.

Good grades and the biggest opponent for the Kane scholarship gave up leaving her as first on the list while second couldn't reach not even if she wanted. Maybe helped the fact that her father was finally home after tracking some thief all across the country for 20 grand of bounty prize. Life was good. Maybe that fact alone should warned her that something bad is going happened to her. But she decided to be optimistic and enjoy in good day and that was her first mistake.

Her very good friend Mac was explaining to her new cool gadgets that managed to found a way to get into Mac's hands and computer wiz like her enjoyed in every minute of discovering every little detail. At first she didn't notice how people were watching her and talking. Well, that happened almost every day so she ignored them. But when Wallace, her BFF approached her with uneasiness clearly shown on his face she started to worry.

"Wallace, my man. What is going on?" She asked him but he hugged her not saying a word. "Don't get angry and I will stop you if you start choking somebody, ok?" She smiled and nodded with her head very interested in what happened. If she found out that any '09 had anything with something that upset Wallace, there will be hell to pay.

She entered in the classroom. Many people were in there watching her and waiting for her reaction. She felt her brain freezing when she saw on the big screen on the wall her picture and picture of her favorite enemy Logan Echolls. Between their pictures was picture that was changing every few seconds showing many different variations of their future offspring.

She noticed that Logan, Duncan, Dick and many people were staring furiously. In one moment picture froze and big fat letters shown on the screen: "Guess who I am? Do you like your future children?"

When she found out who that is, there will be problem of recognition of the body. She looked around her and saw shocked and slightly angry faces. She took deep breath, sat down on a chair and stared at computer like he is her biggest enemy. But her biggest enemy and his little clique were looking at her and waited her reaction.

"Ronnie, I don't like you and you don't like me. But whoever did this wants to lose his head, so do your Nancy Drew thing and found out who did this." He pulled from his pants 10 bucks and waved with it in front Veronica's nose. "I will even pay you."

"How about this? Why don't you found out and I will pay you if I don't die from laugh first. Because lets be honest, Logan, you are violent foul. You punch people and trust me; you would be the first person I would call if I needed an asshole to ruin my investigation."

Veronica said that looking at computer who was still running his program. She pressed few buttons on black keyboard trying to stop program but on the screen appeared little box that demanded user name and password. And Veronica didn't know them.

"Mac, can you do your magic?" Dark haired girl with pink straps in her hair smiled, sat on the chair and started to press so many buttons on the keyboard in the same time that those who were standing near by were shocked. She turned in one moment to Veronica and nodded her with her head. "So Mac, comp whiz what do you see?"

"I see money and effort." Mac said mysteriously like a prophet ready to read somebody's palm.

Logan makes few steps closer so he could see better what that unknown girl was doing but still he felt being left out and he really didn't like it. Mac grabbed her bag and took black USB from one of the small pockets. The very second she put USB in laptop it started few unrecognized programs, to Logan's sharp eyes, that started to download information.

He could help not to think that Veronica this days had very interesting friends; from a gang leader to a sheriff deputy. The moment she took USB in her hands, Logan knew that this was perfect moment for amazing offer.

"I am offering you 10 grand for that USB. What do you say?" He smirked at Veronica knowing that nobody refused such an offer. That Mac girl turned around and handed it without one word to Veronica totally ignoring his offer. "Thanks, Mac. What do you think?"

"I think that you are buying me a veggie burger and I will tell you everything that this prophet had seen." In a second Veronica and her little crowd left the classroom and Logan still felt like an idiot. He got screwed up not only one time but three times. He thank to the God that he had pretty large ego.

Veronica was angry but somehow she was really looking for founding out who is that brave. Unlike typical high school prank, this is very smart. He or she, nobody could accuse Veronica Mars for discrimination, wanted to piss her off. But he/she implied possible relationship between Veronica and Logan. Even thou nobody would buy that, expect maybe few very mentally unstable people, still it was a slap in their faces.

Wallace, Mac, Meg and Veronica were discussing possible guilty parties and joked on Veronica's account.

"I do hope that I am the godfather, V?" Wallace gave the girls his puppy looks, but girls just laugh even harder. But when leader of PCH gang approached them, many people in schoolyard started to point their fingers on them and waited for something to happen. This was very interesting day for gossip.

Entire school waited for something to happen. Somebody unknown prank both Logan Echolls and Veronica Mars and that was in the same time very daring thing to do and very stupid if they found out and they will.

"Yo, V.! I heard that you already know how your future kids with Echolls will look like." She turned around and smiled tilting her head in the same time. "In my defense he was the last man on Earth." Weevil nodded his head and added amused. "I thought I would never saw anyone that crazy to prank you and cotton vest in the same time."

He sat next to Veronica, nodded like he was saying hey to Wallace, Meg and Mac. If anybody told Weevil that he would be sitting with Veronica Mars, 09' princess a year ago, he would kick their asses with his sarcastic remarks and than with his punches. She was blonde little devil and he liked her.

Who would known that former lover of Lily Kane, gang leader Weevil and ostracized Lily Kane's best friend Veronica would became friends. Life was definitely had his weird paths.

"Mac, you refused 10 grand for veggie burger. You are not hungry anymore therefore you can tell me what you know. " Mac smiled and pull out USB that many people wanted and she liked that people appreciated her art. She wanted and needed 10 grand but Veronica was her friend and in Mac's book of life rules you do not betray your friends.

When Meg and Weevil heard amount of money she refused, they gave her look in which shock and proud was mixing. And that make her even happier, they knew why she did it; maybe because they would do the same thing for Veronica.

In that strange circle of friendship, they were the ones that protected Veronica not only because she was their friend. They protected her because somebody had to look after girl that look after entire world and helped every person who needed her help.

"Who ever did this prank, you pissed him good. Somebody spent lots of money and worked on every little detail for months." They listed her without a movement of a muscle on their faces or their bodies. "This is new laptop, recently bought but not in Neptune. Neptune computer store still doesn't sell this model, which means L.A. and guilty person is a guy because he used a certain picture in desktop no women in their right mind would use. "

Veronica looked slightly disappointment. She thought it would be easy thing. She should know that whoever did it knew perfectly who he was pranking. She had doubt that it was a 09' even though it would be much sweeter than anything.

That would mean somebody was planning to overthrown Logan and his little group, even if that made her happy. Somebody pranked her and she didn't like that.

"But I have certain trail for you, trail that you can investigate without problem." Even Meg moved closer to her to hear what she was saying. "A program that guy used is new. It promo version can be downloaded, but version he used can be bought in one place in the world."
