"I am the last person you probably want to ask for dating advice" Daisy joked during Veronica's lunch period when she had snuck off campus to avoid all the festivities for the Lilly Kane Memorial Fountain. The 09er clique had been tormenting her earlier about the tragedy of her memory loss and telling her all these stories about parties they'd been to. It had gotten a little overwhelming so she had decided to take the receiver out of the trophy case and bring it into the Mars Investigations office for Daisy to download.

"How can you have trouble dating?" Veronica exclaimed.

This little friendship of theirs was fun… Daisy was a very cynical chatty person and a treasure trove of random possible answers to hypothetical questions. Like say Abel Koontz would take a pay off if he was going to end up on death row? The only trouble was… she was fixated today on hearing more about this impending date.

"Hot girls always have trouble dating.." she replied as she handed Veronica a small coffee. "This is my gift to the office!" Daisy told her as she pointed at the small espresso machine.

"A real coffee maker?" Veronica asked.

"My room-mate moved out last week to go live with her boyfriend, and Cadence my other room-mate moved in her girlfriend, who had one twice the size of this one, so I donated it" she explained.

"I can practise for my future as a barista if I don't get my grades up for this Kane scholarship" Veronica joked.

"How's that going?" Daisy questioned as she sipped on her own Mocha.

"I have a few make up exams based from the more recent stuff" Veronica told her.

"I still can't believe they expect you to take tests" Daisy shook her head in disgust.

"Teaching… a profession for sadists everywhere" Veronica quipped.

"So who is this guy you are dating?" she asked.

"My dead best friends ex-boyfriend" Veronica replied. "This does not get back to my dad!"

Daisy made a lips sealed motion.

"And I thought waking up in bed beside Sheriff Lamb was a problem" Daisy whistled.

"You woke up in bed beside Sheriff Lamb?" Veronica exclaimed in horror.

She'd only met the Sheriff a handful of times but he was a total arrogant jerk. Albeit a handsome, self-absorbed arrogant jerk.

"Tequila… salsa music… need I say more?" Daisy sighed.

"How did you ever meet Lamb?" Veronica asked incredulously.

"I met Leo… super cute deputy who has a band… they had a party… Cadence was invited along because she's a basest who knows their drummer… the rest is soaked in whiskey and my missing favourite shoe" Daisy elaborated. "The follies of youth…"

"Didn't they bust the party?" Veronica asked.

"I'm 22" Daisy winked as she handed Veronica back the receiver. "Files are all downloaded; I put them in the mp3 player under Neptune 1-14"

"Thank you…." Veronica said gratefully.

"No… thank you" Daisy smiled as she picked up her choux pastry. "It's a good thing you caught me, I'm heading out early this afternoon" she admitted.

"Going on the Lamb?" Veronica teased.

"Ha! No! I'm running a class down at the Half Moon Dojo… Martial Arts class, one of my students has a competition coming up" Daisy explained as she made a silly karate chop motion.

"Cool" Veronica said as she slipped the small mp3 player into her coat pocket.

"So about this date… you have any idea where he is taking you?" Daisy asked.

"Nope… should I?" she replied.

"Probably… but if he is in high school… chances are you can rule out needing a cocktail dress" Daisy smiled.

"This is going to be my first date, since.." she said pointing at her head.

"Ah… ok, well… just because he buys you dinner doesn't mean you owe him anything… carry cab fare in your purse and always keep your phone charged up" Daisy told her firmly. "And always tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back"

"Should I carry my taser in my purse too?" Veronica laughed.

"Pepper spray usually does the job too.." Daisy answered seriously.

"You aren't kidding" Veronica sobered.

"Nope… and always keep an eye on your drink" Daisy told her firmly.

"Does College make you that paranoid?" Veronica gulped.

"Nope… being a woman does" she replied.

The Memorial Dedication set up was well underway when Logan finally crossed paths with Duncan after lunch. He found him playing with the television they had set up.

"Logan…" Duncan called as he jumped off the stage.

"I really don't need another pep talk man… not today…" Logan said dismissively as he continued walking away. He wasn't in the mood for another confrontation.

"I'm sorry" Duncan told him.

"Yeah? For which part?" Logan replied coldly, turning around to face his friend.

"I just don't want you guys to make a mistake…" Duncan sighed.

"Because the thought that there could be some kind of happiness for a jackass like me at the end of all of this is just too horrible to consider?" Logan said.

"I want you both to be happy" Duncan relented.

"Just not with each other… I get it" Logan sighed.

"It's Veronica…" Duncan implored him.

"I know… exactly…" Logan told him as he finally broke eye contact.

"Just… don't hurt her" Duncan offered before he turned back to the display screen.

I wasn't ever planning on it…

This was as close as they would probably get to a resolution on the topic Logan thought sadly before the first few images of the Lilly video began their test viewing.

Most of the students at Neptune High showed up that night at the Lilly Kane Fountain Dedication, Veronica did her best to take as many photos of the crowd as possible as they reacted to the video of Lilly Kane on the big screen…. It wasn't until she was reviewing them on her computer later when she got home that she found the ones of Weevil Navarro crying…

Why would a tough biker gang leader be crying over a rich popular girl…. Unless they had been involved romantically at one point?

Dear Diary,

Okay… so I think Lilly and Weevil might have had a relationship at some point… but that doesn't mean he's involved. According to my dads police records, he was on community service at the time of the murder.

I've been listening to the recordings of the other 09ers… seems the old me had quite the reputation… people wear a thousand faces. Nothing incriminating yet, I'll have to check out the other receiver tomorrow, maybe plant a few bugs in the girls locker room?

I'm going down to the Sheriff's Office tomorrow to pick up that unpaid parking ticket of Lilly Kane's, see if it has any new leads… then I have a date with Logan. I'm not sure which one has me more nervous… committing Identity fraud or going on a date.

Stay tuned… for all I know… tomorrow's update will be getting made from a prison cell.
