-Wallace's Point of View-
I don't know why I am so nervous, I mean it's not like I don't sit at the 09er table every day. I mean yeah it's going to be different because up until Saturday night I just sat at the table because of V and Mac now though I was going to be sitting there with my girlfriend. Girlfriend that was going to take some getting used to.
"Wallace are you coming?" I hear my new girlfriend ask me as we walk away with our food from the lunch line. It had been Cassie's idea to announce our relationship in true 09er fashion. By just sitting together at the table and being flirty. That was the plan, myself I wanted to at least tell her brothers about it before then. I am a tough guy but I don't want to get between a girl and her brothers. When I asked her about this on Sunday afternoon when we meet at the park she just said "Don't worry about those two they couldn't hurt a fly" is what she told me. I knew otherwise though, I had seen both Dick and Cassidy beat up people. Well more like Dick did the beating and Cassidy did some computer work and ruin the person's life in other ways. Things got even more complicated when we got to the table to see that there weren't two seats together. Before I had a chance to stop her Cassie was already in Action.
"Richard would you please move so my boyfriend and I can sit down together?" She said to her brother knowing calling him Richard would distract him , but only for a minute.
"You know Cassandra you are the only one that can call me that and get away with….. Wait a minute. Boyfriend?" Dick finally caught on he looked at the two of us and realized we were standing in front of all of the 09ers holding hands. Thus announcing our relationship. What was even worse was that Cassidy wasn't there. Great I get to go through this again with the Beav.
"Yes Dick, Wallace and I are dating now." Cassie said with a confidence that was kind of hot. "And you aren't going to do anything about it. Are you?"
"We will talk about this later Cas." He told her knowing he was fighting a losing battle and that he wasn't going to win. He just didn't want to fight in front of the rest of the 09ers. It was at that point that I noticed the look I was getting from V. That was going to be fun to explain later.
"So we missed you guys at the party at Shelly's the other night" Cassie quickly changed the subject to the absence of V and Logan at the party the other night.
"Yeah no kidding." Mac said as she took a bite of her veggie burger. "I was completely board without you Ronnie. At least I know why Cassie ditched me."
"Sorry guys." Logan apologized "Ronnie was helping me get adjusted to my new digs." He said with a smirk. Logan was so caught up with his friends he didn't realize the sour look that V had on her face at the question of their absence at the Shelly's party.
"Whatever dude. Without you and Duncan there I was stuck with Beaver all night." Dick said as he quickly moved on from the news of his sister dating Wallace.
"Oh you survived." Cassie quickly jumped at her brother. While she loved Dick he was always a little harder on Cassidy than he was on her.
"Whatever Cas." Dick said as he saw Cassidy moving toward us. "Yo Beaver your twin has some news for you." Dick said knowing that Cassie would quickly look toward her twin so Dick could take some of her pickles off her tray
"Really is that so?" Cassidy asked as he got to the table. "What's up Cas?" He asked casually as he sat down in between Mac and Cassie.
"Well Wallace and I are dating." She told him like she was just telling him the time of day. She knew that Cassidy wouldn't care that he wouldn't do anything to upset here.
"Really. How did I miss that one?" He asked "I guess I need to have my twin-sense checked on shouldn't I been able to tell?" He joked with his sister.

-Cassidy's Point of View-
Why are Wallace Fennel and my sister holding hands? Something is up with them and I am not too sure if I like it. Well for now I will let them go ahead of me and I will make a late entrance. Yeah that's the plan. Make her have to tell me. We used to be so close that we would be the up for hours talking. Even after our parents got a divorce 10 years ago and they wanted to split the three of us up we all stuck together. We told them we wanted to stay in Neptune, but everything changed when we got too high school. Dick turned into a player, Cassie tried out for cheer and I felt left behind I found myself keeping more and more to myself.
"Yo Beaver your twin has some news for you" my brother had the perfect way of pulling me out of my own thoughts. What could Cassie possible have to tell me that I didn't know? They didn't know this but I keep pretty good tabs on both of them for their own protection. You can't trust anyone you know. "Really is that so?" I said as I approached the table and sat myself between Cas and Mac, I would eventually get the courage to ask her out. "What's up Cas?" I asked casually so no one would know that I already knew about Cassie and Wallace.
"Well Wallace and I are dating." She told me in a fashion she would do anything calmly like it wasn't anything important.
I decided to just play along with this little game and joke with her, "Really. How did I miss that one? I guess I need to have my twin-sense checked on shouldn't I been able to tell?" I said to her with a small laugh and wink to my sister.
Before I could get out another word the bell rang and everyone dispersed expect for Veronica. Something was up and I wanted to know what. Thankfully I had bugged both Logan and Veronicas cars.
-Veronica's Point of View-
"Come on Ronnie we have to get to class." Logan told me as he stood up and put his hand out to me to walk to class.
"Logan I need to talk to you about something… You want to ditch?" I asked him really not wanting to do this at school.
"You know I never pass up ditching with you. Let's go" he said as we walked toward his SUV "Where to My love?"
"Can we just go to the park?" I don't really feel like going home and being there when we have this conversation.
"Sure." Logan replied as we pulled out of the parking lot and drove down the block to the near-by park. "Are you sure you're okay Ronnie?"
"The reason I didn't want to go to Shelly's party Saturday was because of what happened at the party last year." I told him knowing that he wouldn't fully understand yet what I was talking about.
"What are you talking about Veronica?" He asked me as we pulled into the empty parking lot of the park.
"Last year at Shelly's party. It was right after I had testified against your dad, and found out that I was Jake's daughter. If you remember there weren't too many people talking to me. I had just meet Wallace and Mac and I was missing my old life with you, Duncan, and Lilly." I was starting to cry a little "So I went to the party in hopes that maybe I could convince one of you to at least talk to me."
"Ronnie I am so sorry about how we were all treating you at that time. Will you ever be able to forgive us or at least me?" Logan asked me.
"I already have but what happened I can't just erase from my mind." I said when I looked at Logan I realized that he had a look of pure confusion on his face. "Logan I was drugged and raped at that party."
"V…." he was dumbfounded, for once in his life Logan Echolls didn't know what to say. "I… I am so sorry"
"Logan you didn't do anything to me. It's not your fault I got raped." I try to explain to him but the look on his face told me that he had something else to tell me.
"I do remember small bits and pieces about that party and I think it might be my fault you were raped. Possibly even drugged." He tells me as his face grows more worried by the second.
"Logan what happened? I can't remember anything from that night." I say to him as he grabs a hold of my hands.
"I had taken some Liquid X to that party. I was pissed at everyone and upset about my parents and just wanted to have fun. I had given two doses to Dick, he was trying to loosen up Madison so she would have sex with him. I don't know what happened to the rest but when I saw you at that party you were throwing yourself at every guy there. Even Duncan. I knew you were plastered but didn't know how bad. So Dick and I decided that you could help out Beav with a little something. We threw you into a room with him and gave him a bunch of condoms." Logan took break to see me in a state between shock and anger, but I never let go of his hands.
"So you think that Cassidy raped me?" I asked. "Do you think that he went through it?" I was starting to let the anger show more and more.
"No I saw him an hour later and I asked if he did it and he said that Dick and I should be ashamed of ourselves for even suggesting it. He told me that I was being stupid and that you and I were meant to be." Logan finished. How could I be mad at him, he was in a bad place and never came of the plan he and Dick had set forth.
"Logan I want you to know that I am going to find out who did this to me." I told him as I leaned over and gave him a soft kiss "But I am not mad at you we were all in a bad state of mind at the time. I love you." I told him.
"And I love you Ronnie. You have to be the most understanding girl in the world. I am happy that you feel comfortable to tell me about the rape."
Unknown to both Veronica and Logan Cassidy had heard the entire conversation and was quickly trying to think of something to distract Veronica from her snooping.

-Cassidy's Point of View-
"Hey Mac can I talk to you about something?" I asked the girl that my brother called Ghost World. She was unique and she was special. How many girls did he know that were bold enough to wear different colored streaks in their hair and hang out with the judgmental popular kids. He knew that his brother and his friends were not exactly the nicest to outsiders.
"Sure what's up Cassidy?" She asked as she turned from the computer flipping her hair over one shoulder and looked at me. How does she do that.
"I was just wondering what you were up to this weekend, Like maybe Friday night?" I asked I loved that she was one of the few people that called me Cassidy. Actually there were only two people that called me by my real name. Cassie and Mac.
"Sure." Mac said a little confused by his question. He was a great kid but what was the sudden interest in the her
"Hey Mac attack do you want to go bowling Friday night, Wallace and I are wanting to go but need a few more people to go. You up for it?" Cassie came in without really seeing me standing there. "Oh hey Big Brother" it was a small joke between the two of us. Even though she was only 4 minutes younger she still always called me Big Brother.
"Um actually Cas I have a date Friday night." Mac said as she looked over to me and gave me a small wink.
"Really with who? Why am I just hearing about his now Mac? I am your best friend you know. Well whatever see if you can convince him to change the plans and go bowling with me and Wallace that way I can keep an eye on this guy and make sure he treats you well." Cassie started to ramble as she gives her brother a small side hug.
"Well what did you have planned for our date Cassidy?" Mac asked me as Cassie's face went from an expression of utter shock to smiling. She quickly punched me as hard as she could in the arm "You brat I am your other half you are supposed to tell me when you get an evil idea."
"So you don't approve?" I asked my twin. "Because if you don't want us to we don't have to go bowling with you guys."
"No we are so going to do a double date." Cassie quickly says "I have to make sure that you don't mistreat Mac attack here.
"Okay so it's settled we will all go bowling on Friday night" Mac said as she turns back to her computer. "Cassidy call me later and we will talk" she told me as my sister and I walked out of the room.
"Seriously jerk!" Cassie hit me again "You could have at least warned me that you were going to ask out my best friend!"
"Sorry I will check with you next time before I ask out a girl I like" I tell her as we walk out of the school toward the parking lot. No one could find out my real reason for wanting to ask out Mac.
