She still couldn’t breathe normally, just unsure little heaves against his chest; never taking both eyes off Aaron for more than a second. When they started hearing sirens coming, Veronica’s never been more grateful for her father. Ever. Especially now that she’s seen other options out there. Pedophile, murderer… Veronica eyed Aaron, grateful for Logan, too;

exhaling a deep breath, Veronica tried to ignore the ticking in her head that counted the seconds she’d been seated at Dominick’s. Her table was a strategic choice; far from, but angled towards, the door- a perfect position to watch for any man that had the slightest potential to be CA152. Talking to a stranger and daring to meet the man and be nervous about it, there was some silliness in that. Waiting at a table alone, with a rose as identification felt completely silly to Veronica. Wait a minute, was

In the town where the show is set in, there is a sharp class divide between the wealthy, white “09ers” who live in the 90909 zip code and the poor, Hispanic “PCH” bike gang.

Aristotle’s Poetics in the episode “A Trip to the Dentist” in the Veronica Mars series) The twenty-first episode of the first season of the TV show Veronica Mars entitled “A Trip to the Dentist” displays surprising parallels to Aristotle’s Poetics. At the beginning of the season we are introduced to Veronica Mars, high school junior at Neptune High. Veronica Mars’s best friend Lilly Kane has been murdered a year prior to our introduction to Veronica. Veronica’s father served as Sheriff to their county and

pray to any deity that was still listening to him for the next bar to be the place where Lianne Mars was. Three days into taking Arizona by storm, Veronica’s mouth had gone stiff with disappointment and Logan’s back was starting to cramp up from the lebaron. After hearing from the Neptune High rumor mill that Lianne Mars had taken off, Logan remembered every quip he’d made to make things harder on Veronica. While taking them back now isn’t really an option, spending his days switching off driving with

Things are tense, somehow through the whole school, like they 've ripped off some sort of band-aid. Veronica remembered the last time it was like this; this bad.

I’ve never actually been to public school, but it sounds

Veronica sat up, groaning, and surveyed her surroundings. Right, Logan’s- the floor. So much for pretending that was a really long, late-night-chocolate-influenced dream. “And she wakes!” Logan was sitting up in bed, newspaper pages scattered around him. “Has anyone ever told you that when you sleep you take on...certain rock-like qualities.” “At least I don’t snore,” She gave him a hard look. “How about, next time you take the floor.” Veronica grumbled, finger combing blonde hair into

Mondays are her least favorite, they’re usually slow days, slower, anyway, and sometimes just to pick herself up, Veronica liked to stop someplace special on the way home. Take Neptune, California up on what it had to offer her. Going the long way to her car, she stopped at a bakery, just a donut to go, when she saw it across the street. Monstrous and offensive, a brand new superstore going up, one for books- and her chocolate donut with chocolate sprinkles tasted like sweetened ashes. Even now
