A/N: What would happen if Veronica took Logan up on his offer in Season 2 for a one night stand? The characters belong to Rob Thomas... they are so interesting though.

Logan looks at Veronica in shock. He knows he must look laughable with his mouth hanging open and his eyes wide with surprise. He had been acting like a jackass when he suggested they get together but it could only be one night, he wouldn't call her after and there could be no cuddling.

He was trying to offend her. She wasn't supposed to agree to his proposal.

He looks over at her and she is looking at him a little impatiently. He closes his mouth with a snap. Reverting to his tried and true sarcasm, he asks, "What about the golden boy?"

Veronica with a little bite to her tone answers, "What you do in your own time is none of my business." She pulls her phone out of her pocket and accesses the calendar function. Logan watches her not really knowing what to say. She says as she looks down at her schedule for the week. "What about Friday night?"

Logan looks around and sees that no one is really watching them. Finally he demands, "Am I being punked or something?"

Veronica looks up at Logan and he can see she is surprised by his question. She says, "No, why would you think that?"

"I don't know Veronica. You don't have sex with me when we are dating and now you are dating Duncan and you want to have sex with me," he points out sarcastically.

Veronica looks at him and repeats, "Are you busy Friday?"

Logan unsure what to think of this conversations answers, "I have a date."

Veronica nods and says, "What about Saturday night then?"

Logan just looks at her. He cannot believe what he is hearing. He says, "Dick is having a party then."

She looks back down at her schedule flipping ahead to the next week. She asks, "What about next Friday?"

Thoroughly puzzled and unsure, Logan tells Veronica he is going to Mexico the following weekend.

Veronica sighs and closes the calendar function on her phone. She says, "OK. That's that then." If Logan didn't know better he would swear she was disappointed. She opens the phone book on her phone and dials as she walks away from Logan. She puts the phone to her ear and after a few seconds says, "Hey Dad. I talked to Logan and he had a party that night so almost all the 09ers could have used that phone."

There is a pause and then she says, "It gets better, the PCHers crashed the party too."

She pulls her messenger bag back up on her shoulder as she walks settling it more comfortably continuing her conversation, "It's a dead end here. I think you are going to have to use your contact at the phone company."

There is a pause while she listens to her father talk. She says, "OK Dad. I'll talk to you later. Bye." She closes her phone and continues walking towards her car when she suddenly finds herself turned to face an upset Logan.

Logan can see she thought she left him behind when she walked away. She looks up at Logan and is surprised at his anger. He tells her firmly, "You don't get to just walk away after that conversation."

Veronica narrows her gaze. Logan can see she is getting pissed. She looks up at him and asks, "What do you mean?"

Logan waves his arm as he talks, "One minute you are afraid of sex and now you want a one night stand with me?"

Veronica pulls her arm from his grasp questioning him, "Do you question the motives of all the girls you have sex with or is it just me?" Logan looks at her surprised by her tone and question. She goes on saying, "If you didn't want to have sex with me, why did you offer?"

Logan feels like he is in an alternate universe. He says slowly, "I guess I didn't expect you take me up on it."

Veronica shrugs and says, "I get it. Let's just forget about it." She turns and starts to walk towards the parking lot and her car.

Logan catches up and steps in front of her stopping her. He says, "What about tonight?"

Veronica looks at Logan obviously thinking. She looks down at her feet and then up at Logan. Her voice quiet but steady she tells him, "I was hoping for a night that you didn't have school the next day."

Logan looks at her and sees her seriousness. He says not really sure what is going on with her, "It's not a date Veronica."

Immediately she breaks their gaze and looks away saying, "I get that. One night, no cuddling and you won't call me."

He looks at her trying to decide what is going on in her mind. Since she isn't looking at him, he can't really get a read on what she is thinking. He says slowly, "Why don't you just tell me what you want?"

Veronica looks at Logan, her blue eyes are dark with emotion but Logan is not really sure which emotion. She says, "Everything Logan." There is a pause while he looks at her in shock. She repeats, "I want to try everything."

Logan feels his heart skip in his chest. Unsure why she suddenly wants to have sex with him, he tells her, "Veronica I am not interested in being your instructor."

She bites her lip and Logan can hear the shakiness in her voice when she says, "That is not it Logan."

Frustrated and a little upset, he asks, "What is it then?"

She shakes her head. Logan looks at her and he sees she is trying to hold her emotions in check. She says, "I.."

Logan is shocked. He can see something is really bothering her. She takes a deep breath and says a little shakily, "Does it really matter why?"

Logan looks at her wondering what is going on with her. He answers, "I guess not." He looks at her for a few seconds and decides, "OK Saturday then."

Veronica looks up at him and says, "I have something to do in the afternoon. How about 7pm?"

Logan nods and then watches her as she walks away. He wonders what the hell is going on with her. Then he wonders why he cares. He smiles a little as he watches he get into her car, start it, adjust her seat belt and then drive off.

He has a feeling that this night between them is going to be very different.

Logan goes to school the next day and doesn't see Veronica. Duncan sits with the 09ers at lunch but seems to be quiet and withdrawn. Dick nudges Logan and says, "I think there is trouble in paradise."

Logan looks at his friend and says, "What makes you say that?"

Dick questions, "When was the last time you saw Veronica and Duncan together?"

Logan thinks about it and says, "I guess the week after the bus crash."

Dick tells his friend, "That was ages ago dude."

Logan looks in surprise at Dick. Logan looks over at DK and wonders what is going on.

Veronica doesn't show up at school the rest of the week. Friday night Logan picks up his date and heads off to the Hut to meet his friends. Veronica has not been in school all week. Logan is really beginning to wonder why she is not in school. Miss Kane Scholarship would not miss school if she had a choice.

At the Hut he sees Veronica is working. She looks fine. She is still the hostess there. She quietly and easily seats them in a section in front of the stage. She tells them their waiter will be Greg and she slides away before Logan can ask her why she has been away from school.

Dick looks around the coffee shop and says, "I wonder who's birthday it is?"

Logan looks over to where Dick is pointing and sees a balloon with a gift. It is on the staff table so Logan guesses someone who works there has a birthday. He turns his attention back to his own table when the waiter arrives to take his order. Logan enjoys listening to the karaoke contest. Madison and Dick enter. Dick sings a song about how sexy he is and Madison does an over the top rendition of a Taylor Swift song. Logan is wondering if it is possible he might be bleeding in his head from her singing. She comes back to the table waving to the crowd. Logan smirks that she thinks she is a good singer.

His attention is brought back to the stage by the MC who announces that the Hut is saying goodbye to one of its employees. He says, "Come up here Veronica."

As Veronica reluctantly walks up to the stage and goes up the stairs, the MC tells the patrons that she has been the hostess for about six months and was a waitress before that. Tonight is her last night so they have a present to give her. Logan wonders why she is quitting. He wonders if Mars Investigations has enough work for her now. He wonders if her not being in school has anything to do with her quitting. He wonders if her desire to have sex with him and do everything has anything to do with her not seeing Duncan anymore.

One of the waitresses walks up the stairs with the balloon and gift that Logan saw on the table. They present it to Veronica and she sweetly thanks everyone and tells them she will miss them. Before she can leave the stage some of the regulars start chanting for her to sing. Logan smiles as he sees the uncomfortable look on her face.

The music starts and Veronica takes the microphone. The MC takes her gift back down to the table. Logan looks at Veronica on the stage. She is wearing the white hostess blouse and a dark skirt. Her long blond hair is pulled back in a clip. She turns on the microphone and looks at the crowd. She sings a song about a girl who loves a boy and he doesn't notice her. Her voice is clean and crisp. During the chorus of the song her voice rises over the music and the crowd starts to clap and cheer. By the end of the song a lot of people are standing and she gets a large round of applause at the end. She nods at the crowd and turns off her microphone. The MC says, "We will miss you Veronica Mars." He gives her a hug and she walks calmly off the stage. Logan watching her remembers when she and Lilly would sing together. Veronica was more reserved but Logan always thought she had a better voice than Lilly. She sounded great up on stage. Logan can see Madison is upset at the applause that Veronica received. He sighs as he knows he is going to have to listen to days of green eyed anger from Madison.

Saturday morning Logan went surfing with his friends. They talked about Dick's party and how it was going to be a huge blowout. Dick had ordered kegs and he had talked a bunch of college girls he met into coming and bringing their friends. Since Logan was single they were all anticipating he would get his pick of the college girls. Logan listened but didn't say much. He had woken up with this strange anticipation that was growing as each moment passed. He had dreamed of being with Veronica for years and had been slowly working her up to actual sex when they dated. Then she had chosen Duncan and he had given up the thought.

Last week she had agreed to come over and spend Saturday night with him. She had told him she wanted to try everything. What girl says that to a red blooded teenager? Logan knew Veronica well and the thing was she seemed serious about wanting to have sex with him. She had gotten emotional when she talked about wanting to try everything. Logan had assumed that she was inexperienced and wanted to be taught but he could tell that wasn't why she wanted to have sex with him.

Part of Logan was excited he was finally going to get to have her. The other part of him was upset she would agree to sex, no cuddling and no tomorrow. She is not a one night stand type of girl. So he was back to the question; why would she agree to have sex with him?

Logan had a good imagination and he wanted to try everything with Veronica as well. He agreed partly because he hoped it would be closure for him. Maybe he could get over his obsession with her and move on with his life. Logan knew he had been falling in love with her. He could have seen a future with her. It had ended so abruptly that he had a lot of unresolved anger and emotions.

Whatever her reasons for wanting to have sex with him, he was going to use the opportunity to exorcise her from his heart. He was going to enjoy his time with Miss Mars. He was going to make her cry out his name in ecstasy over and over. He had a lot of fantasies about being with her and tonight he was going to live out a lot of them. She wanted to try everything. Maybe that wasn't possible but they could make a big dent in it.

Logan comes out of his thoughts to see Dick, Beaver, Casey and Luke looking at him in puzzlement. Logan realizes they have been talking to him and he has been deep in his own thoughts. He says, "What?"

Dicks says, "We were talking about what time you would be over and if you were ready to party."

Logan looks at his friends and says, "I am totally stoked about tonight."

They all laugh and start joking again about hooking up with college girls. Logan smiles but drifts back into his thoughts about Veronica.
