A/N: Before you start reading this is my first story which I adopted from Lifes Black Sheep (over on fanfiction) and so parts of the first and second chapter have been written by her and other parts I’ve rewritten. If you wish to read her version it’s called A Change Of Victim (there is going to be a link for it at my live journal account) and all of her stories are up for adoption as she has stopped writing. I’m going to put the link to her authors page at the bottom of the chapter for anyone who would like to read the original. That’s all I hope you enjoy and that I do the story some justice.

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the clothes on my back and especially not Veronica Mars as that belongs to Rob Thomas and the people at CW.

Switching Places

Chapter 1

Neptune, California, a town without a middle class. If you’re in the second group, you get a job; fast food, movie theatres, mini-marts. Or you could be me. My afternoon job involves tailing philandering spouses or investigating false injury claims but I suppose that’s what you get when you become the disgraced daughter of a billionaire. Don’t get me wrong daddy dearest still helps out. Once a month I get a check, just enough to cover a tiny apartment and food, anything else I need I have to buy with the money I make because I burnt my platinum card bearing bridge almost a year ago.

Who am I? I bet that’s what your saying and what could be so important that a spoilt rich kid would give up everything. I’m Lilly Kane, once beloved daughter of Jake and Celeste Kane, and I gave everything up to try and get justice for my best friend in the whole world, Veronica Mars.

Yes, that Veronica Mars. The one who went missing and all we found was too much of her blood for her to survive. Declared officially dead by a judge, only a small group of people have hope that she is alive somewhere. The only reason Veronica was declared dead was because no one cared. They would have cared had she been the daughter of some one rich or famous but no cared. Even the fact she was the beloved sheriff Keith’s daughter, or my best friend, or my brother Duncan’s first love didn’t help. The case to find her was closed the day of her funeral.

And then, on that same day, it happened.

My daddy dearest stepped forward and told the adoring press that he just buried his daughter. He had a paternity test and everything. That day he claimed her as his own daughter and Keith, the man who had raised and loved her as a father should, was left devastated not having only lost his daughter but at revelation of his wife’s affair with my dad and the fact his baby wasn’t his at all. No. My dad was tactless and didn’t tell a sole of his plan just appeared out of blue on that screen declaring Veronica his daughter.

Keith snapped that day. He did the only thing he could, he divorced his alcoholic, cheating wife, quit the job he once loved at the sheriff’s department and moved away to LA hoping to bear his pain away from the town where he had raised his ‘daughter’. A week later Leanne did the only thing she could do, she drowned her sorrows with as much liquor as she could and jumped off the Colorado Bridge.

Information on Veronica’s killer is worth millions now days but still no one steps forward with anything.

And then there’s me. I came forward.

I knew exactly who killed my best friend and apparent half sister.

Aaron Echolls.

Yes the great movie star Aaron Echolls. I had affair with him, even though I was dating his son at the time, I know, that makes me a slut but back then I was, I won’t even try and deny it. Even though I was a slut back then I had standards and being recorded while having sex was one of the things I didn’t do. Not willingly anyway, cause little did I know Aaron was filming our time together. When I discovered this fact I took the tapes and knowing that Aaron would follow me I gave the tapes to Veronica and left. Hours later Celeste woke me up telling how Veronica had gone missing, her car abandoned with blood everywhere.

I tried telling the police but Veronica (Ronnie), being the smart person she was, had hidden the tapes and there was no proof of the affair. It was his word against mine. Who would you pick the beloved Aaron Echolls, movie god, or me the lying, adulterous, underage slut? Neptune happened to pick option one.

Aaron’s son, Logan, turned his back on me, considering his options I didn’t blame him. After all he’d been in love with Ronnie since he set eyes on her, he’d just settled for me, because Duncan had gotten to her first. He was left with two options believe I slept with his father and put the love of his life in harms way or believe that I using Ronnie’s memory for attention. He chose to believe option number two and decided to make my life hell.

Soon after that my family moved away, following Keith’s lead, my parents decided Neptune just held too many memories of an illegitimate daughter, let alone a disgraced one and my brother couldn’t handle the incest he’d committed while being with Ronnie and yet couldn’t shake his love for her. Having not wanted anything more to do with me they allowed me to stay in Neptune, however my ties where forever cut, no more platinum no limit credit cards just a check once a month. There was no love lost and I was fine staying my tiny apartment glad, to a degree, to be free of my parents.

Still needing other things to live I got a job at Lamb Investigations.

Don Lamb used to be a deputy at the local sheriff’s department but when Keith left his life in Neptune behind the only candidate to replace him was P.I. Vinnie Van Lowe and his first order of business was to get rid of anyone still loyal to Keith. Lamb was one of the first to leave not being able to cut his loyalties to his mentor Keith but how could he when Keith had adopted him to get him away from his abusive father.

So that is how I landed here, starting my senior at Neptune high, with Logan and the 09ers hell bent on making my life a living hell. I go school, wear my ‘you don’t faze me at all’ mask, head to work, do homework and if there is time I cry for my best friend because everything I do I do for her. Sure this is so far from the life I once had but now I’m a better person and that is because I only have one goal in life.

Putting Aaron Echolls in jail where he belongs.

Neptune High, my high school or personal place of torture, is so corrupt it isn’t funny. When I was the one benefiting from corruption I noticed it and I didn’t give it a second thought but Ronnie had and now I can see why. Be it from the unfair pirate points allowing food deliveries to the elite or the fact there’s a guy taped butt naked to the flagpole at the moment with ‘snitch’ on his chest this school is not a place you’d want to send your kids unless there was really no other option.

“Who’d that guy rat out?” asked some guy in the crowd surrounding the poor sucker as I moved closer.

“The bikers.” Was the reply to be heard from a different part of the crowd.

“Why doesn’t someone cut him down?”

Someone scoffed sarcastically. “Yeah, I’ll do it. I wanna be the guy up there tomorrow!”

No one moved to help; they all stood around taking photos pointing and laughing, at the kid’s misfortune. I moved closer intending to cut the kid free as another student moved forward too. The kid obliviously had hoped the guy was going to set him free but instead watched him pull out his camera and he proceeded to take a photo of him with the kid.

I rolled my eyes and pushed through the crowd.

“Move,” I snapped at the jerk.

“Who died and made you the quee-“

I pulled out my pocket-knife and smiled sweetly at him. “Go on.”

He backed away and sneered. “Logan’s right. You are a freak.”

I flicked my hair at him, the way I used to at boys I was seducing. Now with my shoulder length short hair, it just looked arrogant. “Whatever,” I said as I began cutting the boy down.
 

“Go pirates” I yelled sarcastically towards the crowd as they slowly drifted away, “Your new right?” at the nod of his head “Welcome to Neptune High” I said finally realising him before I gave him jacket and left as the bell rang.
