Guys just something to clarify petrol is the same thing as gas.

Chapter 2: What Not To Forget

'Veronica! Seriously, I will throw him out of this car while it is still moving if you do not do something!' Mac raged and leaned forward in her seat. Veronica turned to Logan.

'She's not joking,' she said to him and raised her eyebrows expectantly.

'You heard her,' Logan said and then added. 'She said you should do something not me.'

'He's your friend!' Veronica exclaimed. 'And you insisted that he come along!'

'I am in the car,' Dick added a moment later. 'Like, I can hear you guys talking about me.' Everyone ignored Dick. Just before they had decided to hit the road properly Logan had made an "essential" stop and picked up Dick for the spur of the moment road trip. Dick didn't hesitate to come along. The problem was that he also didn't hesitate in doing anything he could do to irritate Mac and Veronica. Veronica sighed.

'Stop the car,' she said and motioned with her for Logan to stop. He did. She got out the car went to the back and opened up Dick's door.

'Get out,' she said to Dick who crossed his arms.

'Like hell,' Dick replied and didn't make a move.

'Dick, go sit in the front seat and try to not be such a well, dick.' She finished forcefully and pinched his arm which made him move. They changed seats and began driving again.

Veronica and Mac had fallen asleep relatively quickly after she changed seats with Dick. The boys kept relatively quiet, not having to much to discuss. It was quite sometime later when Dick broke the silence.

'Echolls, why are we doing this again?'

'Dick, we've gone over this.' Logan quietly responded and checked the rear view mirror to see if Veronica or Mac had woken up.

'No, dude, I get the logistics. Veronica thinks you have her car, so she was going to take yours. What I don't get is why you didn't just well you know?' Logan turned to Dick confused. Genuinely unsure about what he was referring to.

'No Dick, I don't know. Care to elaborate?'

'Why take this plan of action? I mean there were lots of other options.'

'Like? Let her take my car?' Logan countered.

'No…' Dick trailed off and raised his eyebrows. 'Dude, I'm obviously missing something here. You can fill me in later when the blonde in question isn't sleeping on your back seat.' Logan turned to Dick. He felt like he was the one obviously missing something here. He shook his head, and checked the rear view mirror once more. The girls were still sleeping. His eyes lingered on Veronica a moment longer and he couldn't help but think how pretty she looked. He was momentarily shocked by his thoughts. He immediately drew his eyes away from her and returned to focusing on the road.

Mac stretched her arms out, she checked the time, it was late afternoon, and they had been driving pretty much the whole day. In an hour or so they were supposed to stop in the upcoming town and find somewhere to stay the night. It was supposed to be a really nice little town. Mac turned to Veronica and nudged her awake, she stirred, rubbed her eyes and then turned to Mac.

'I was having the best dream,' Veronica yawned and crossed her arms.

'It's time for you to intervene,' Mac lowered her voice and tilted her heads towards Logan. 'Tell him the plan to stop and such…' Mac showed Veronica the time and she registered what Mac meant.

'Why do I have to tell him?' Veronica whispered back.

'Because you have a way with him,' she paused and gave a chuckle, 'let's just say there aren't many people in the world who can handle his… uh… charm and you just happen to be one of them who can.' Mac finished and Veronica sighed.

'Hey Logan,' she spoke up and seemed to startle him. He caught her gaze in the rear view mirror. 'The plan is to stop for the night at the next town.' Veronica continued. Logan raised his eyebrows.

'I don't mind driving a bit longer,' he gave her a cheeky smile, 'make the trip a bit shorter in any way possible.' Veronica huffed.

'Logan, even if we get there a day early we can only leave after the game. So no point in rushing, plus the plan is to stay over in the next town. We have a placed booked and everything.' The last part wasn't completely true. They knew the place they wanted to stay at but they hadn't pre booked.

'That makes no difference to me Mars, I'm not booked at that place.'

'Logan, do you think you could try and not be difficult for like two seconds?' Logan took a deep breath and smiled.

'As per your request… one, two,' Logan counted. 'Did that make you feel better?' He asked Veronica. She shot him a death glare.

'Echolls, there are so many things I want to say to you right now.'

'Do share, Mars.'

'Ah guys-' Mac started to intervene but was cut off once more by Veronica.

'Logan, why is this such an issue?'

'Because it's something you want to do,' he began to explain. 'I'm no longer in the business of giving you what you want. ' Veronica laughed.

'When were you ever in that business?' Veronica countered.

'And I like seeing you irritated and it will make things more interesting.' Logan continued ignoring Veronica's previous comment.

'Guys! STOP!' Mac yelled out and as if on cue the thing she was trying to warn them about happened. The car came to a halt. Logan and Veronica turned to look at Mac.

'What just happened?' Veronica questioned.

'Do you have some secret abilities you're keeping from us?' Logan asked Mac.

'Yes,' Mac commented dryly, 'the ability to realise the car was about to run out of petrol.' Veronica and Logan stayed quiet. It was Dick who broke the silence. He began laughing.

'This isn't actually happening.' Dick commented and turned to Logan. 'Are we seriously stuck out here with these two?' He asked Logan and pointed at Veronica and Mac.

'Not exactly, the position we want to be in either,' Mac shot out towards Dick.

'Oh, I'm sure.' Dick responded to Mac and winked at her. Mac cringed.

'That did not just happen.' She bluntly stated to Veronica. Veronica ignored both Dick and Mac.

'Try the car,' she said to Logan. He turned around and turned the switch. Nothing happened except for a bright orange light coming on which indicated that they had no petrol.

'She was right,' Logan said.

'Wow,' Veronica responded and Logan turned to look at her. He waited for her to continue. 'I don't know whether to be more shocked at your stupidity for forgetting about petrol or at the fact that you just said "she was right" '. Logan opened his mouth to retort but was cut off by Mac.

'No!' she yelled and looked at both Veronica and Logan. 'Get out the car, both of you.' She demanded. She said it was such force that no one argued with her. Mac got out the car and was followed by Veronica, then Logan and even Dick. They all walked over to Mac.

'You two,' she pointed at Logan and Veronica, 'are going to come up with some plan to sort this out.' Mac really hated road trips if she was honest and situations like this really stressed her out. Logan was about to say something but she raised her hand and stopped him. 'You insisted on coming along and then forgot to put petrol in,' she said to Logan, 'and you let him.' She added towards Veronica. 'Then you dragged Dick and me along. I am not willing to be stuck here on some freaky road when the sun sets.' She moved past Logan. 'Dick, get in the car.' She yelled out. Dick looked at Logan, raised his arms and shrugged. He walked around the car and opened the passenger door. Mac turned to Logan and Veronica.

'Sorry, V.' she said. Veronica just shook her head, still processing what Mac had said. Mac turned around opened the driver's door, got inside and locked the car. Veronica and Logan watched this happen. They looked at each other.

'Why does crazy follow you around all the time, Mars?' Logan asked her.

'You tell me.' She countered. Logan feigned being hurt. Veronica gave a chuckle.

'Ok, let's try sort this out,' she said. Logan already had his phone out and was dialling a number.

'One step ahead of you.' He replied. Veronica watched him and for a moment couldn't quite believe she was standing on a road in front of Logan trying to get petrol for his car. She hadn't had this much interaction with him in a year and, in no way, did she ever think this would be how they started talking again.
