Ahh...it's here. The epilogue. I know people wanted me to continue this story and I plan to...in a sequel but I had a certain way I wanted to end this story and now I have the opportunity to do it. It's so funny because I had a couple reviewers think that the slap was the revenge. Ahh, no. That was not the revenge. You'll see what it is. I had one of the guest comments ask why the last chapter was named perception and if I watched the show. Perception was named that because Veronica perceived Logan sleeping with Kendall and she was wrong. It was just what she thought. And no, I don't watch the show Perception. However, this chapter is named Revenge and I LOVE that show! One of my favorites. I've always like Emily VanCamp though. OK, so let me know what you thought. Oh BTW this chapter earned the M rating at towards the end of the story.

Throughout the day, Veronica couldn't stop smiling. She felt amazing. She didn't see Logan all morning because he had his in school suspension through Wednesday. The next time she saw him was at lunch.

"So I was thinking…" Logan started as he took a seat next to her at the lunch table.

"Always a scary thought." Veronica replied with a grin as she took a drink of her water.

"Quit it." He gave her a playful nudge.

"OK what were you thinking?"

"After school, I'm taking you shopping."

Veronica nearly choked on her water. "Excuse me?"

"You heard me. I'm taking you shopping." Logan told her as he ate his Chinese food.

"What the hell for?"

"Don't you remember what this weekend is?"

Veronica jogged her memory and then groaned. "Oh god it's Homecoming."

Logan grinned. "That's right and I'm helping you find a dress."

"You want to go to Homecoming?"

"I thought about it."

"Now are we talking actually going to Homecoming or the Limo Party you're known for throwing?"

"Well…" He gave her a quick kiss. "We could always do both."

Veronica grinned. "Yes, we could but you don't have to take me dress shopping."

"Oh but I want to." He grinned devilishly.

"Because you need to figure out if there's a zipper and where it's located?" She gave a sly smile as she ate her food.

"Because…" He gave her another kiss. "I figured I'd find a tie to match it and of course get you a corsage."

Veronica sighed. "Any possible way I can talk you out of this?"

"Nope." He smirked. "Come on, sugar puss it won't be so bad."

Veronica glanced around to see who all heard that. Apparently Dick did because he glanced over at them and grinned.

"Don't call me that in public." Veronica muttered under her breath.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Logan I don't need a nickname."

"Of course you do, Ronnie."

Veronica sighed. "I think I like sugar puss better."

Logan chuckled as the bell rang. "See you later." He gave her a quick kiss.

"Bye."

After school, Logan drove Veronica to LA and to the nearest Macy's. Veronica found a couple dresses so she headed in to try them on. Logan was still outside looking at dresses though.

The first one she tried on was a red sleeveless metallic cutout jump dress. She glanced at herself in the mirror as she turned around.

"Come on." Logan called to her from down the corridor. "Let me see it."

She stepped out and Logan grinned. "I like it. Love the color."

"I like it but I wore red last year." She told him as she twirled around in front of the wall of mirrors.

"No one said you can't wear red twice you know especially since I didn't see it last year."

"Hmm…" Was Veronica's reply as she turned around and went back to the changing room.

She noticed there were now more dresses than when she had originally went in. "What are these?"

"Oh, I found a couple more dresses. Try the black one on." He suggested.

"OK."

As soon as she did, she looked at herself in the mirror and her mouth dropped open. It was a Sugar and Spice sleeveless sheer mesh sequined mini.

"Veronica…" Logan called in a sing-song voice.

"No forget it Logan." She called back.

"Either you come out or I'll come in."

"No you won't."

"Come on, V. There's nobody in here. Just show me."

Veronica hesitated.

"Please?"

She sighed and slowly emerged. As soon as Logan saw her, his mouth dropped open.

"Oh my god, you look…"

"Like a hooker." She grumbled.

"I was going to say hot."

Veronica stalked towards him. "The only way I'd wear this in public is if I was going undercover at a strip club." She hissed under her breath. She turned to head back.

"How about in private?" Logan asked coyly.

That earned Logan a glare and Veronica then closed the door. He grinned. He was definitely buying that dress. It didn't have to be seen in public. For his eyes only sounded perfect to him.

She came back out and showed him a sleeveless chiffon cutaway Hailey Logan dress. It was a deep pink color and it hit right at mid-thigh length.

"Love the length." He commented.

"Of course you would." She smirked. "I really like the color too."

"It is nice."

As soon as she returned to the dressing room, her phone rang. She answered it on the third ring.

"Hello?"

"Veronica." It was her dad.

"Oh, hey dad." She stuttered. She may have forgotten to mention she was going shopping after school.

"Where are you, honey?"

"Umm…Macy's in LA."

"What? What are you doing there?"

"Well, Logan took me shopping for a Homecoming dress."

"Logan? Why would Logan…"

Veronica bit her lip. Yeah another thing she failed to mention to him. "Oh, sorry dad. So much has been happening lately that I hadn't gotten a chance to tell you. Logan and I…we're…umm….actually back together."

"What? You are? What happened to Duncan?"

"Veronica!" Logan called from the hallway.

"Give me a second Logan!" She told him. "Listen, dad, I'll be home in half an hour. I'll explain everything then. I need to go."

"OK honey. See you soon."

Veronica changed and met Logan in the hallway. He frowned when he saw her regular clothes.

"What are you doing?"

"It's been fun playing dress up but I've been summoned home."

"Is your dad mad?"

"No, just confused." She gave a sheepish smile.

"About what?"

"Well, he's been so busy that I hadn't gotten a chance to mention recent events."

"So he doesn't know…"

"That we're together? Yeah, not until 5 minutes ago."

"Why didn't…"

"I wasn't hiding it, Logan." Veronica insisted. "But I hadn't really figured out how to tell him and plus we really didn't see much of each other this weekend."

"Did you find a dress?"

She sighed. "No. When I find one, I'll let you know the color."

"Veronica…"

"I don't need you to buy me a dress, Logan." She informed him. "I can buy my own dress, OK?"

"OK." He resigned.

"Hey." She pulled him to her and kissed him. "I promise everything's going to be OK."

He kissed her. "You sure about that?"

"I am. I mean it may take a little proof and a little getting used to but my dad will come around. You'll see." She confirmed. "And we'll have a great Homecoming. I'll get a really amazing…"

"Hot." Logan corrected her.

Veronica groaned. "Fine. Hot dress."

Logan smirked, knowing he won.

"But it will not be that black one. I refuse to wear that in public."

"That's OK." Logan disappeared down the hall into the room she was in. He pulled it out. "I'll get it for in private."

"Of course you would."

Veronica tried to talk him out of it but his mind was made up. He went ahead and bought it while she waited outside for him. It took him just over half an hour to get her home.

"I'll call you later."

"OK." She nodded then kissed him. "I love you."

He grinned. "I love you, too, V." He kissed her again.

"Now that's a nickname I don't mind." She informed him as she got out of the X-terra. She could hear his laughter as she walked to her apartment.

Her dad was waiting for her when she came home. "Hey dad."

"Hey Veronica." He cracked a smile for her.

There was dead silence for three minutes before either of them said anything. Keith was sitting in the arm chair while Veronica sat on the couch.

"OK are you expecting me to read your mind or would you like to explain how you're now dating Logan?"

She gave a heavy sigh. "Well, it's kind of complicated."

"Well what happened with Duncan?"

"We broke up."

"I know that. Why?"

"Because he had gotten Meg pregnant. I told him that he needed to go back to her."

Keith quietly nodded.

"Logan's been helping me through this. When I found out about Meg, I was shocked. I was even more shocked to know that Duncan had known for months and never mentioned it to me."

"Months?"

"Yeah, since about two weeks after they broke up." She looked over at her dad then quickly looked away. "I was hurt and I felt betrayed that he could keep this from me. Logan…had been a good friend. He was helping me through it."

"Honey, why are you so sure that you and Logan will work out this time?"

"Because I love him, dad. I'm in love with him. And he told me he's in love with me too."

"I'm not sure I can trust him."

Veronica nodded. "I know. He realizes that. But you need to at least give him a chance."

"He's had chances, Veronica. He blows them every time."

"Dad…please? It hasn't been the best week and honestly I wouldn't have made it through it without him. I just want…" She breathed. "Just give him a chance, OK? For me?" She gave him a classic puppy dog look.

Keith let out a very heavy sigh. "The things I do for you. OK, Veronica. He's got one last chance. I mean it though. If he blows this one…"

"He won't; I promise." She grinned from ear to ear.

Keith sighed as he watched her bounce off towards her bedroom. He realized that technically, legally, he couldn't keep Logan away from his daughter. She was 18 now but he was going to use whatever he needed to keep Logan in check. After witnessing their relationship this summer, Keith was amazed Veronica would even give him the time of day, much less consider a relationship with him again.

He really hoped that this time Logan wouldn't blow his chance. He'd like to believe that if Veronica said he changed, that he did but being in the PI business, he tended to be more skeptical. Normally a zebra doesn't change his stripes. He realized that more than likely he really wasn't going to approve of anybody with Veronica. He honestly didn't believe there was anyone good enough for her. If Logan wanted to try to challenge that and prove he was worthy, Keith more than willing to watch and see.

The week went by relatively quickly. There were five names chosen for each the King and Queen titles for Homecoming. Veronica protested when she heard her name read. She thought it was some sick joke. Then Logan informed her that he was the one that nominated her. Apparently Mac and Wallace both agreed to her nomination. Veronica had nominated Wallace though. She was going to be mean and throw Logan in there too but decided against it. He did however get nominated by Duncan. Veronica wasn't sure what Duncan was up to but it couldn't be good.

Wednesday afternoon Veronica went back to Macy's by herself and picked out a dress. She had to try on 7 dresses before she found the one. She was amazed at what a steal it was too. After she paid for it, she called Logan to tell him that her dress was more of a wine color. He wanted more details but she refused to give him any more to go on.

Friday night at 7 o'clock on the dot, Logan knocked on Veronica's apartment door. He had gotten himself a Black by Vera Wang tuxedo with a white pleat wing collar and a wine colored vest and bowtie. Black round toe shoes completed the outfit. He was carrying a deep red rose corsage in a plastic container when Veronica's dad opened the door.

"Logan." He nodded.

"Mr. Mars." Logan said.

"Come on in." Keith moved away from the door. "Veronica's almost ready."

"Thanks." Logan stepped in and took a seat in the middle of the couch while Keith took a seat in the armchair.

"So Logan…I must admit that when Veronica told me that you two had reconciled I was a little surprised."

Logan slowly nodded. "Yes, I'm sure you were. To be honest, I was a little surprised at first too."

Keith was stunned by this admission so Logan went ahead and quickly continued.

"Don't get me wrong. I've wanted this chance ever since Veronica and I broke up. I've worked really hard to prove to her that we still belong together. I'm in love with her, Mr. Mars. Truthfully, I never stopped."

"Thank you, Logan. I'm glad to hear it."

There was a moment of silence.

"So I can trust you that you will take care of her?"

"Yes." He confirmed with a nod.

"You will not put her in life in risk at any time."

"I can confirm I won't but you need confirm with her that she won't try and do that herself."

Keith smirked. That was a good point.

"Hi." Veronica called as she came out of the hallway and stood in front of them. Logan's mouth nearly hit the floor. She was dressed in a Hailey Logan wine colored sleeveless beaded ruche dress that had a rhinestone halter. She had her hair curled and wore dark red heels.

"Wow!" Logan exclaimed. "You look amazing."

Veronica blushed. "Thanks."

He grabbed her left hand and slid the corsage on it, "That's code for hot right?" She whispered right by his ear.

She pulled away and saw he was grinning. "Of course." He said quietly as he kissed her cheek.

When they arrived at the school, the gym was pretty full. Everyone did turn in their direction when they walked in.

Veronica groaned. "How long before this stops?"

Logan smirked. "Probably not as soon as you'd like. Until then, let's give them something to watch."

Veronica laughed as he dipped her back and kissed her. And he did really kiss her. Eventually someone called out, "Get a room!"

Which made Logan call back, "Then quit staring!"

People finally went back to their own business then. Logan had come to the conclusion that they needed to take pictures to commemorate this night. They took a couple pictures. They each had huge smiles on their faces.

They walked away and Veronica then turned to Logan and asked. "Have you ever taken pictures at Homecoming? Actually, scratch that. Have you ever been to Homecoming?"

"No, no reason to. Just always threw a limo party instead."

"And so what is so special about going to Homecoming this time?"

"Well…" He led her onto the dance floor as the song Sway started to play. "This is our last Homecoming and I thought that we should mark the occasion by attending it."

Veronica wrapped her arms around his neck as his arms snaked around his waist. "Hmmm…yeah I'm not really buying that."

Logan laughed. "It is true. I figured the pictures would prove to your dad we did come here. Besides…" He leaned down and kissed her. "I'd like the pictures to remember this night by. It would be our first public event since we got back together."

Veronica smirked. "You're so sappy, Logan." She gave him a small kiss.

"Excuse me…" Vice Principal Clemmons tapped the microphone. "If I could have your attention please? It is now time for the announcement of the 2005 Fall Homecoming King and Queen. This year's Fall Homecoming King is…" Clemmons opened the envelope. "Duncan Kane!"

There's moderate applause and Logan and Veronica shared a look then gave a few brief claps.

"Not surprised, I guess." Veronica told him.

"Yeah not really." Logan agreed then a curious look crossed his face. "So who did you vote for?"

"Oh that's not important."

"Oh sure it is."

"Well, honestly, I really didn't think that you'd want to be Homecoming King so since I nominated him, I voted for Wallace."

Logan smirked. "I could be pissed but you're right. I really didn't want to be Homecoming King."

"And now this year's Fall Homecoming Queen is…" Clemmons opened the second envelope. "Veronica Mars!"

Veronica's mouth dropped open and stared at Logan who had a huge grin on his face. "What the hell did you do?"

"Who me?" He feigned innocence.

There was some applause and Wallace and Logan cheered loudly in the background. She heard Madison gasp and start lodging complaints. Veronica slowly made her way onto the stage and before Clemmons could put the tiara on her head she made an announcement. "OK, I don't know what Logan pulled to have this done but honestly I'm vacating my role and giving the title to Madison Sinclair. She apparently feels she deserves it and honestly I couldn't agree more."

The crowd talked loudly and Veronica threw a glance at Duncan who was wearing his crown and robe. He looked perplexed. She was going to leave the stage but Clemmons grabbed her hand at the last second and made her come back.

"I'm afraid that's not possible, Ms. Mars. We have a rule there is no relinquishing of titles."

"The voting was fixed!"

"There is not enough time to recast votes." He informed her as he put the tiara on her head. The robe was then put around her shoulders. Veronica sighed as she stood near Duncan. She didn't look at him though.

Her eyes were staring at her boyfriend who kept a huge grin on his face. Veronica's expression was not a happy one though. She showed a small smile for the picture only because Clemmons wouldn't let her scowl. As soon as the picture was done, she made her way to Logan. He still had a grin on his face.

"You're going to be punished severely for this." She warned him.

"Oh, I'm planning on it, sugar puss."

Veronica groaned at the nickname.

"It is now time for the King and Queen dance."

Veronica started to lodge complaints and Clemmons informed her regardless of if she feels the voting was fixed, they were not breaking tradition. She sighed as she made her way to the dance floor. Duncan took her hand and Veronica made sure that they kept a whole person distance separated between them.

Clemmons started to say something and Veronica retorted that she was doing the stupid dance and how close she was to Duncan didn't matter.

"Come on Veronica. Can't we dance closer?" Duncan whined.

"No, you don't deserve it after the way you've been acting. You're such a jackass, Duncan. That stupid attempt to break me and Logan up only ended up driving us closer together. You should be proud of yourself." Veronica informed him as she started to walk away.

"He doesn't deserve you!" Duncan called after her. The whole school had their eyes on them, including Logan who was praying that Veronica would defend him.

"That's your opinion but you don't deserve me either. I deserve better than you."

"And you think that's Logan?"

"I know it's Logan." Veronica turned around to face Duncan. "I'm in love with him." Logan's face broke out into a huge grin at the fact she had admitted that to not only Duncan but the whole school.

Duncan looked like he got punched in the stomach.

"He's in love with me too by the way." Veronica added as she removed the tiara and robe and handed them to Clemmons. Logan reached out his hand and threaded their fingers together.

"True that, DK. Now if you'll excuse us, we have a private after party to attend to." Logan smirked as they passed Duncan. Veronica was trailing behind him.

When they got outside the school, Logan leaned over and kissed her.

"What was that for?"

"For admitting to the whole school that you're in love with me."

"Well, you're welcome. You know I meant it."

"Yes I know. You know I love you too."

"I do." Veronica gave him a nod. "Now you can explain to me why you did it."

Logan sighed as they stood outside the limo. "Does it really matter?"

"Yes, it does. You know I could care less what these people think of me. I don't need their approval."

"I know." He nodded.

"Good so don't do that again, OK? I'm serious."

"OK, I won't."

They climbed into the limo and for the 10 minute drive, they kept their lips glued to each other. They decided to wait until they got to the after party before things went any further though.

When they arrived at the hotel, Logan checked them in and they made out the entire elevator ride up the room. If the door hadn't dinged, they would have just kept making out.

Logan threw the door open and Veronica looked around. It was amazing. "Too bad I have a curfew tonight. Wouldn't mind staying here."

"Hmm…" Logan put then 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door and locked it. He came back over to her and kissed her. "Better make the most use out of it in the time we have." He kissed her again as his hands ran along the sides of the dress. "Have I told you just how…"

"Hot?" Veronica gave him a knowing smile.

"Unbelievably smoking hot you look in this dress?"

"Glad you like it." She pushed off his tuxedo jacket and unbuttoned the vest and threw it on the floor. "You were looking pretty sexy yourself, Echolls."

Veronica kissed him hard as Logan's hands slowly dragged the zipper down in the back of the dress. Veronica moved away long enough to let it fall to the floor. She was now clad in a black strapless bra and matching panties.

"Impressive." He told her huskily as she took off his bowtie and shirt. She quickly disposed of them and went to working removing his belt and pants. His erection was straining against his boxers.

"Pretty impressive too." Her fingers slightly grazed it against his boxers.

Logan groaned low in his throat. He unhooked her bra and tossed it on the floor. He gently lifted her up and laid her down on the bed. He laid down on top of her and kissed his way down her neck to her throat, her collarbone, to her chest. He took her left nipple in his mouth and gently suckled on her. His tongue circled around it and a little moan escaped from Veronica's lips. Her hands, which had been running up and down Logan's back, dipped below his boxers and grabbed his butt. This brought him in even closer, his increasingly hard erection in his boxers brushing against her lower stomach. Logan switched sides then went to her right nipple to give it the same attention. While his lips feasted on her, his fingers found their way inside her panties and proceeded to move in and out of her.

"Oh." She moaned. "Oh, god Logan!" She let her fingers run through his hair. She kept pressing down into his hand. "Oh, god. I'm going to come, Logan."

Logan's fingers increased their speed until Veronica moaned loudly. "Oh, I'm coming now, Logan. I'm coming. I'm coming! Oh God!"

She shuttered all over as the orgasm ripped through her. It was nearly a minute before she could talk.

"Wow!" Was all Veronica could say.

Logan smirked as he kissed her lips. "It's funny. You're saying that now." He removed her panties and tossed them on the floor. "And I haven't even done this yet." His tongue licked in and tasted her.

"Oh." She sighed. "Remember Logan…" She squirmed a little against his mouth. "Payback…is a…bitch." She stuttered to get out.

"Looking forward to it, sweetheart." He told her as he licked into her again.

She couldn't stop herself from screaming his name when she came again.

Logan collapsed next to her. "God you're incredible at that."

"Well thank you." He grinned. He then noticed how she started to climb on top of him. "So just what are you planning on doing?"

A devilish grin crept onto her face. "Torturing you." She started by kissing his mouth and slowly working her way down his body. She got to his stomach and sat up long enough to get his boxers off and add them to the growing pile of clothes on the floor.

"Veronica…" Logan struggled to get out as her mouth continued south.

"Hmm…" She glanced up quick while her right hand firmly wrapped around his cock.

"You're not…" The words got lost in his mouth as her tongue found its way to the tip of his cock and flicked across it.

"Veronica…really…not wise…to do this."

"How do you like the torture, Logan?" She went back to teasing him with her mouth.

"God, you're…mean." He was trying to hold in his composure while her mouth worked him into a frenzy. Her fingers on left hand gently caressed his balls. Logan groaned. "Jesus, Veronica."

Veronica grinned to herself as she moved him in and out of her mouth.

"God, it feels good, baby." He moaned as he watched her. It was the sexiest thing he'd ever seen. And it got even better when she looked up for a brief second and glanced at him. His fingers ran through her hair softly. A few minutes later, Logan was doing everything he could to hold back.

"Veronica." He told her abruptly. "Veronica, Jesus stop!"

"What?"

"I'm going to come and I don't want to do it in your mouth." He pulled her back up onto the bed and laid her flat on her back. He had just enough time to put a condom on before he plunged into her.

"I…I can't hold back, Veronica. I'm…trying. Don't…want to hurt…you." He moved in and out at a moderate pace until Veronica told him.

"Take me as hard as you can, Logan."

Logan moved faster then. Veronica could feel herself growing hotter. "God, it feels so good, Logan. Keep going." She moaned as he nearly pounded her into the bed. The headboard kept banging against the wall. "God, Logan. Oh god." She moaned as she clutched onto his butt.

Meanwhile, next door, in Duncan's suite, he had a pillow as tight as he could around his ears to block out the extremely loud lovemaking session in the next room.

"Baby, are you getting close?" Logan panted.

"God, yes. I'm coming, Logan. I'm coming now. I'm coming now!" She screamed as the orgasm hit her hard.

He collapsed on top of her in exhaustion. When he moved off of her, a few seconds later, Veronica was still trying to catch her breath.

"You OK?" Logan had his face down in the pillow.

"Yeah." She told him as she had finally regained her breathing.

"My god Veronica."

Veronica chuckled. "I know. You too."

He turned serious for a moment. "I didn't expect you to do that, you know."

"Nice to know I can keep you on your toes too, Logan."

"Yeah, but…"

"Logan, it wasn't that big of a deal." She shrugged as he turned on his side to face her. "All a part of the torture process."

"You're amazing." He grinned.

"You're not so bad yourself, Logan." She leaned over and kissed him softly.

"Are you OK? Did I hurt you?"

She shook her head. "No, I'm OK. I promise."

Logan quietly nodded as he glanced over at the clock. It was 12:28. "What time do you have to be home?"

She glanced at the clock then. "1."

"Well, you better get going then. I don't want to make you late and have your dad add it to the list of reasons to hate me."

Veronica laughed as she got out of bed. She got dressed and Logan went into the bathroom to get a robe. She was at the door when he came out.

She opened the door and stood in the doorway for a second. "So…I'll see you later today?"

He nodded as he leaned forward and kissed her. At that point, Duncan opened his door and his eyes narrowed as he watched them. And Logan knew he was watching too.

Veronica didn't see him though. "I love you."

Logan beamed. "I love you too, Veronica."

Veronica grinned as she turned around. "Oh hi Duncan. Sleepless night?" She smirked as she walked on by him.

She had just past him when she turned around. "Oh by the way, the night when we were together? You didn't do it right." She informed him as she headed for the elevator. Logan laughed as he headed back into his room and Duncan stood in the hallway, speechless.

And THAT was the revenge she did on Duncan. I'm sure you could figure out why she said the last thing but if you couldn't it was because of what Logan said in the first chapter about cuddling being the best part, it wasn't done right. OK it'll be a little while before the sequel gets started. Where should it be picked up? I'm thinking around Christmas time. I'm still trying to figure how I want to write it. That's another reason I ended this one was because I was starting to run out of ideas. Oh I realize that Logan would more than likely get like a Ralph Lauren tux or something similar but I went to the Men's Wearhouse website to try and put a tux together and it came up as Black by Vera Wang. It was a really nice tux too. Anyway, last note, I want you all to know that I appreciate all the reviews. You're why I'm writing stories. On that note, please let me know what you thought. Thanks for reading!
