Phone Call

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica was sitting in her dorm room, flipping through her yearbook from Fandom High. She was really missing her friends from out there, though she'd made a few new friends at Hearst. And Wallace was there, which was nice.

But she realized she hadn't heard from a few people and she decided to rectify that.

She picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"I'd like three chicken tacos, no cheese, extra salsa."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"No chicken. Cheeseboorger. Pepsi."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"No chicken? You're a bad taco place. I'm going to have to take my business elsewhere."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"No tacos. Cheeseboorger. Pepsi."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"... have you been bitten by a gremlin?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Gremlinbooger we have. You want queso?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"No cheese. Do you deliver?"

"Only in Fandomhigh neighborhood Senorita Mars. You must come back and bring Senor Blank an egg white omelette."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Senor Blank can kiss my ass. He'll get an egg white omelet shoved up his nose since he hasn't seen fit to call or email me."

...

"I've missed you too Mars. You kiss your daddy with that mouth?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I've kissed a lot of people with this mouth, Blank. What's going on? I know there haven't been any invasions or anything. Why the radio silence?"

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Actually the radio has been on every night. I don't know what your talking about."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I leave town and you forget all about me." Marty might hear the faint sound of sniffling in the background.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"What's your name again? Valerie?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"As soon as we hang up, I'm calling Angela and telling her to taser you."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"She wouldn't do that. I'm too pretty."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica laughed. "Uh huh. You keep believing that."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"You know I'm pretty. You just can't handle the prettiness."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Yes. That's totally it. That's why I had to leave Fandom, in fact. Because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself around your overwhelming prettiness anymore."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"Is that why you went with the sailor? You know I have better hair."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Sorry, Archie has way better hair than you," Veronica said.

Then she sighed. "I guess you haven't been reading my emails."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

"I only read e-mails that have viagra in the subject line," Marty replied. "What happened?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Well, in order to get him the job at the museum, we had to get him a new identity," Veronica explained. "And in order for it to stick, he had to cut ties with everyone who knew him before."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty sighed sympathetically. "I'm sorry Mars, I had no idea. Are you okay?"
