"Kevin Keller this show is going to be fashionably trash but I promise I will attempt to make it not as good awful," I promise to the tall brunette.

  "What have you done to my girlfriend man," Jughead teases as he wraps his arm around me as we sat in the music room.

  "From her sketches so far, she seems to be a fantastic set and costume designer," Kev chuckles. I smirk and look to Jughead.

  "Yeah," I say, "sooo we need your help."

  "Oh great," Jug says sarcastically.

"Babe it will be fun I promise," I say as we lean against the table, "something that is so you that I literally can't think of anything that would be more perfect." I point to that camera sitting on the tripod and he smirks.

"I think I know what you're gonna ask," Jug sighs.

"I'm making a behind the scenes documentary following our production of Carrie," Kev says as he hands Jughead the script, "We're going period. 70's glamour just like The Sissy Spacek movie. And I want you to be our videographer." Jughead looks at me and I nod.

"You should do it," I say to him, "we can spend some time together." He smiles at me then shifts his attention back to Kev.

"I'm in."

   "Welcome to Carrie the Musical," Kev says as he looks over the cast. Analysing each expression on our faces as Fangs drags a loud chair up to the group splitting Kev and I.

"Okay thanks," Fangs says to everyone.

"Okay next," Kev says, "introductions."

   "Alright ya girl is going first because I don't have much time and I need information from everyone," I say to them. Kev nods and I look across the group. Betty looking seriously pissed at my existence. "I'm Y/n costume and set designer, oh! And I'll be doing show makeup. Now I just need to know sizes and allergies to cosmetics soon because I have the costumes set up already I just need sizes."

"I'm surprised you're not playing the mean girl," Betty snorts, "I mean.. you're one without even trying."

"Thats really cute," I say mockingly, "how do I taste by the way? I've been meaning to ask since Jughead slept with me then skipped of to you." Among the group I hear gasps and chuckles before Archie looks over at me and huffs.

"Not the time-" He starts.

"Archie I'm surprised you can talk with Hiram's dick in your mouth," I hiss, "sizes and then you're pretty much done with me. Got it?" I turn to Kev and roll my eyes. "Kev. I'm gonna go work on props."

"Alright," Kev says awkwardly. I grab my things and march back stage. Recently the circumstances of mine and Jughead's reunion surfaced. And while originally it was okay. Someone had plastered the words 'Whore' and 'Slut' on my locker which had furthered the buzz. And lets just say, I've been a little on edge. Because while Sweet Pea and I were cool, Betty and Veronica want to kill me. The weren't even on speaking terms, yet individually they wanted to murder me. I had claimed the backstage and spread out my props. God this is gonna suck.

As Kevin had attempted to start reading through the script as a group I had pulled of extras on stage for measurements. "Actually before we begin," Cheryl says as she stands tossing her book on her chair, "I've heard whispers that some of you ensemble vultures don't think I'm fit to play or sing -"

"No," Josie says.

"The role of Carrie White. So, to settle this matter once and for all - Maestro?" Cheryl says. I smirk and look to Kev. 

 "Okay, uh, Cheryl-" Kev says attempting to control the situation.

"That's not my name!" Cheryl sings filling up the room. 

"Uh, Cheryl-" He attempts again but to no avail.

"I'd hear that word Sounding so sweet Thousands of voices forever repeating Carrie, Carrie, Carrie I am the sound of distant thunder That color, a flame! I'm Carrie! I am a song of endless wonder That no one will claim But someday Oh, my, someday! Someone will know My name!"  Cheryl sings filling the room with her powerful voice.

 "Wow," I gasp, "that was amazing."

 "Wow, yeah I think I speak for everyone when I say that was undeniable, Cheryl," Kev says as we all clap. Toni like a proud girlfriend. She turns and starts to walk back to her seat when a sand bag slams to the ground in front of her causing her to scream and everyone else to jump.

   "Holy shit," I mumble as I look over to Kev.

  "Oh my god," Toni says running to her girlfriend. 

   "I'm okay," Cheryl says shakily as Toni wraps her arms around her.

   "Maybe we should take a break," Kev sighs, "Y/n, Jughead. Lets go the drama room. You guys read over your lines." We spilt up and I see Jughead poke the camera in my face.

  "Stop," I chuckle as I cover my face.

   "Sorry I was just trying to document how perfect my girlfriend is," He says with a smirk. 

   "Shut up," I chuckle as I roll my eyes at the camera. 

    "Its true," He says. Once we step inside Kev shuts the door behind us and looks at the ground with a sigh. 

   "I have a dark confession to make," Kev says.

   "Whats wrong Kev?" I ask him.

    "After Cheryl's brush with death this morning, I found a letter in my locker from someone alleging to be And I can't believe I'm about to say this the Black Hood," Kev says as he shows us a letter with cut out magazine letters, "It's a prank. Look at it!" 

"It's a sin that Cheryl is playing the role of Carrie, fix this or suffer the consequences. The Black Hood,'" I read out, "wow. This is crazy. I mean. I can't-"

" Why would the Black Hood, who was shot dead by my dad, be demanding that the role of Carrie be recast?" Kev asks chuckling nervously.

"Yeah, it does seem pretty small potatoes for the Black Hood," Jug says as he points the camera to the letter.

"Yeah. Still," I say as I take it, "but it is still a threat."

"You guys can't tell anyone about this. As official documentarian Jug, and Y/n as my best friend, you both are sworn to secrecy," Kev says, "Also, the show, as they say, must go on."

"Yeah but everyone will be okay right?" I ask him. 

"Of course," Kev says.

   "Tommy, lately, I've just not been feeling right I'm so ashamed of how we've all been treating Carrie White Now I realize this is hardly your concern I hate to drag you into this But I've got nowhere else to turn Do me a favor?" Betty sings to Archie with the sweet soft melody. It changes to a harsh more fast past one and Veronica starts singing to chuck.

  "There's somethin' that Carrie White'll just have to learn If she plays with fire She's gonna get burned I want her to pay up for all that she's cost me And make her good and sorry that she ever crossed me," Veronica sings.

   "You gotta help me If you help me I could even up this debt And we could both give Carrie White a night she won't forget Do me a favor," They both sing.

"Think of Carrie I've said everything I But one small act of kindness Might change Carrie's life for good," Betty sings.

"Fine," Archie groans.

"Come on, come on," Both girls sing.

"Okay, okay, okay," Chuck and Archie sing.

"There's something that Carrie White'll just have to learn If she plays with fire She's gonna get burned I'm begging, I'm pleading I'm down on my knees," Veronica sings.

"If you really love me Well then, baby, baby, please Do me a favor," They all sing.I look to Kev and smile.

"That was really good," I say to them all, "Veronica come to me with costume adjustments, you too Toni and Archie. The jeans are looking a little two lose."

"Musical comments?" Kev asks me. I smirk.

"As always, musicals are my forte... get it? No? Whatever. Betty you could push the beginning more, like make it a little bit more soft and sweet. And I know you can channel you're Diva better Veronica," I say. Betty chuckles slightly and looks at me.

"And what makes you think you are qualified to critique us?" Betty snaps, "I mean. From what it looks like we all got a role and you didn't-"

"She didn't audition Betty," Kev clarifies.

"Just proves she can't do this," Betty huffs.

"No what it proves is that I didn't find a role that I liked, I could out sing you any day Cooper," I say mockingly.

"Prove it," She hisses. I nod and plug my phone into the aux cord. Switching the Carrie soundtrack to something I knew I could sing well enough.

(link at the top because it wouldn't go anywhere else.)

I step onto the stage and look to Betty. "I've been through ten high schools They start to get blurry No point planting roots Cause you're gone in a hurry My dad keeps two suitcases packed in the den So it's only a matter of when I don't learn the names Don't bother with faces All I can trust is this concrete oasis Seems every time I'm about to despair There's a 7-11 right there Each store is the same From Las Vegas to Boston Linoleum aisles that I love To get lost in I pray at my altar of slush; Yeah I live for that sweet frozen rush... Freeze your brain Suck on that straw Get lost in the pain Happiness comes When everything numbs Who needs cocaine? Freeze your brain Freeze your brain Care for a hit?" I sing she scoffs and I smirk around the group, "When mom was alive We lived halfway normal But now it's just me and my dad We're less formal I learned to cook pasta I learned to pay rent; Learned the world doesn't Owe you a cent You're planning your future Betty Cooper You'll go to some college And marry a lawyer But the sky's gonna hurt When it falls So you better start Building some walls... Freeze your brain Swim in the ice Get lost in the pain Shut your eyes tight, till you vanish From sight Let nothing remain - Freeze your brain Shatter your skull Fight pain with more pain Forget who you are Unburden your load Forget in six weeks you'll be back on The road When the voice in your head Says you're better off dead Don't open a vein - Just freeze your brain Freeze your brain Go on and freeze your brain... Try it" People applaud loudly and I smile at Betty. 

"You still listen to that stuff?" She chuckles.

"Well a certain blonde had great music taste a 12," I tease her, "I've remember our duets to Heathers songs."

"You chose that one on purpose. Fits you're range well," She complements, "I miss duets like that." I step forward to her and sigh.

"I did the literal worst thing. And I have felt like shit since it happened  because I screwed over my best friend. I'm so so sorry Betty," I say as I look into her eyes, "I suck I know. But if you just give me a chance. Can I make it up to you? Start the process to get you to forgive me?"

"That sounds perfect," She says. I pull her into a hug and she chuckles, "so I'm not a cunt muffin?"

"No you're not. I'm just an asshole," I sigh. I look to Kevin who looks so confused and start to laugh. "I'm gonna get back to work."

"What just happened?" Archie asks looking across the stage.

"Music brought them back together?" Jug shrugs.

"Come on Jug come help me with props!" I call out as I leave the group stunned and confused. This weeks theme is friendship. Well more like rebuilding friendship.
