Home? (narrative)
Fangtasia aside, Veronica was adjusting to the City reasonably well.
She'd found a key in her pocket she didn't recognize, but it was attached to her other keys--including the key to her room in Quantico. With a little bit of work, and a few phone calls, she'd found the building it belonged to.
It was an apartment building.
She looked at the mailboxes and call buttons, searching for her name. And sure enough, it was there. V. MARS 423. A dark haired girl with huge eyes had smiled at her. She must be a neighbor, Veronica figured.
She'd gone up to the fourth floor, found 423, and keyed the lock.
And gasped.
The bedroom was half her room in Neptune, and half her room in Quantico. The bed was her bed at home. Her closet had her clothes she'd taken for the internship.
And the living room looked like the waiting room from her Dad's office. There was even a stained-glass window.
Veronica put her bag down and sat down hard on the couch, looking around. She half expected Backup to come running in, or her dad to ask her to file something. The filing cabinet that'd belonged to her during high school was there--next to what looked exactly like her desk.
She thought of something, and her hand covered her mouth.
Getting up, Veronica went back to the closet and opened the door again.
The gear that came with the internship was there. There was an FBI sweatshirt, all of her reports and books were on the floor in a box, and... the gun they'd given her was in the box, too.
Veronica closed the closet door and put her back on it, then slid down the wall and sat there. She felt like crying. It was nice to know what the City expected of her--and to know it was what she wanted for herself, too, to continue down the road to becoming Agent Mars, instead of just Veronica Mars, PI. She had to decide what to do-- to go to the City's law enforcement offices, open her own investigation business...
"I wish you were here," she said, to no one in particular.
