"Okay wait," Sweet Pea says as he and I sit in my room together looking at apartments, "is Jughead okay with us maybe living together?"

"Does Jughead ever ask me permission before he does anything?" I ask him. He shrugs lightly. 

"Fair point," He says, "I like this one."

"Yeah," I say as I flip through the pictures, "I'll email them." He nods lightly. The two of us going back to the main page to look over the apartment listings. Hoping to kill time. "Are you going to prom?"

"Well considering I don't have a date I don't know," Sweet Pea admits. I look at him firmly. "What?"

"You're going," I tell him at once, "if you don't go I will literally beat your ass."

"Okay okay I'll go- but you have to save me a dance," He chuckles.

"You're on," I tell him laughing lightly. My phone buzzing refocuses my attention. I sigh moving to grab my phone. I look at the text carefully.

"You okay?" Pea asks.

"Jug's at another crime scene," I groan lightly, "with Betty and Charles. He says he won't be back until really late... But who knows." He nods. Clearly sensing the general distaste in my reaction. He moves patting my shoulder lightly. "This is Jughead in the purest form... I'm just hoping that it leaves his system when we get the hell out of this town."

"Good luck with that," Sweet Pea chuckles, "what about that one?"

"Nah it's one-bedroom," I say pointing to the listing, "I love you and all but I don't want to be  that close to you."

"Fair enough," He says as I scroll down the page, "that one?"

"The bathroom would be in one of our rooms," I say as I look over to him. He doesn't seem to get the problem. "Think of it this way. It's four in the morning. You have some girl from your psych class over and I have to awkwardly walk into your room to pee." He nods finally starting to get it.

"Okay maybe not," He says as he scrolls down. I chuckle lightly. Sweet Pea looks to his watch groaning lightly. "I should head home. It's getting late."

"Alright bye loser," I say as I shut my laptop.

"See ya nerd," Pea says as he stands from the floor. He moves grabbing his stuff and heads up the stairs. A minute later I hear the door shut upstairs. I sigh in slight relief as I flop down onto my bed. Ready for bed. My eyes start to shut as they hit the pillow. But any hope of sleep disappears as Jug marches through the door. Mumbling about the new tape and everything else.

"Wait what?" I ask him as I stand. Watching him pace along the length of the room.

"It keeps going back to Blue Velvet Videos," Jug repeats, "and it's just I feel like we are so close- like we can find something there but no one is talking." 

"Well staying up all night isn't gonna help," I tell him, "just lay down and try to relax. Then tomorrow you can worry about all this." He nods.

"You're right," He sighs, "how are you so damn smart?"

"Who knows," I say as I grab ahold of his hands. Leading him over to the bed. He smirks slightly as he moves his hands to my waist pulling me closer to him. Kissing along my jaw eagerly. "Mmm honey that's not heading to bed."

"Yeah but you're just so beautiful," He says softly, "it's hard to resist." 

"Mm well kind a way," I say as I pull away from him to climb into bed. He chuckles as he follows suit.

Jug's the first to get up in the morning. Waking me up in the midst of his getting ready. Talking about some new lead Betty might have and needing to meet his brother. I just simply nod along. Not having the energy to keep up with all this. By the time he heads out, I'm just getting out of the shower to get myself ready. 

"Hey kiddo," Lily says as I move to pour myself a cup of coffee, "I saw your prom dress- it's super cute."

"Thanks," I tell her, "hopefully I get to enjoy it- with Jughead running around the way he is I don't know if prom's gonna turn into another murder investigation... Are you taking the younger guys to school?"

"Yeah," Lily says, "stop playing mom."

"Someone has to," I offer. Lily rolls her eyes.

"I'm gonna have to do it when you leave for school," Lily says back, "so just go and enjoy your last days at Riverdale High." 

"Fine," I tell her. Archie moves down from his room. Lily smirks lightly.

"How's Veronica?" Lily asks him.

"Uh, she's good," Archie says nervously.  Lily nods.

"You kids always have someone coming in or out of here," Lily says, "makes me wonder if we give you all too much freedom."

"Ah don't start," I tell her as I grab sort out my meds, "I refuse to lose all my freedom because Archie's girlfriend can't come in quietly." Lily chuckles. I move taking the pills before grabbing my bag. "Archie you coming with me?"

"Uh actually I'm meeting a recruiter today," He explains, "but uh Veronica wants us all to meet at the Speakeasy later." I nod lightly.

"Alright," I tell him, "I'll see you then. Bye Lily." I wave to her before rushing out the door. Climbing into my truck to head out to school. The empty truck a new scene compared to the normal packed car on normal days. When I get to the school I see Kevin waiting in his normal parking spot. 

"You're my best friend," Kevin says as I climb out of my car, "my favorite person the only one who has been by my side-"

"Okay I'm gonna stop you there," I say as I look over him, "what's going on?"

"Wanna go sign up for prom court with me?" Kevin asks.

"Prom court? I already won queen last year why do it again?" I ask him.

"Well I wanna win," Kevin says, "well not really Fangs wants to win." I nod lightly. "But Cheryl is the one doing sign-ups and you are the best when it comes to messing with her."

"So you want me to come to piss of Cheryl?" I ask carefully. 

"Please?" He asks at once.

"Oh for sure," I say to him, "let's go get you signed up." He thanks me quickly as we make our way into the building. 

"So Jug's skipping school again?" Kevin asks as he and I walk along the hallways. I chuckle harshly. 

"Oh of course," I tell him, "I mean- why not flunk the rest of his classes right at the end?" He shakes his head harshly. "You don't even have to say it I know he's literally stupid."

"Very," Kevin says, "but most straight men are."

"Amen," I say as we reach the prom table where Cheryl and Toni are perched.

"Hey, Cheryl, Toni," Kevin says brightly as he looks at the two with a slight smile. 

"Hey bitches," I say to the two.

"Kevin, Orphan Ann-" Cheryl starts. I chuckle harshly.

"Lovely as ever Cheryl," I tell her, "but like I've said before... that's not really an insult." She huffs lightly. I look over to Kevin slightly amused.

"Is this where I sign up to run for prom person?" Kevin asks trying to defuse the tension. He reaches for the pen to sign the list. Toni stops him.

"Oh, no, Kev, I don't think you wanna do that," Toni says eyeing her girlfriend carefully.

"Yeah, no, I don't, actually," Kevin chuckles, "but Fangs has always wanted to be prom king, - so here we are." 

"Well," Cheryl says yanking the board from the table harshly. Standing to glare at Kevin and I. "I hate to rain on Fangs' parade, but Toni and I are campaigning to be co-queens, and it has been my destiny to wear that prom crown since birth. I have spent my entire life fantasizing about being prom queen, and a part of that fantasy is that I exist in a world where everyone wants me to be prom queen and certainly not themselves." I chuckle lightly as she stares daggers into Kevin. "Does that make sense?"

"Yeah. Yeah," Kevin says nodding along.

"Thank you, Kevin," Cheryl says smiling lightly, "As my friend, I knew you'd understand."

"Except Cheryl," I say as I yank the clipboard from her, "not everyone wants you to be the prom queen- in fact, the overwhelming majority doesn't." I move to pull a pen from my bag quickly writing my name then Kevin and Fang's names. Cheryl looks at me harshly. "Oh and don't worry- I'll make sure that Weatherbee knows the names of everyone running. Just in case you don't get a chance to drop off the list." She scoffs lightly as I toss the board back onto the table. "Let's go Kev we have to get to the lounge before the freshman try to take our seats." 

"Yeah and I don't like that look Cheryl is giving you," Kev says as he links his arm with mine, "come on." I wave lightly to the couple before slipping off with Kevin. When we get to the lounge we see Archie and Veronica are missing as well. "Is anyone still coming to school?"

"I am," Sweet Pea says as he jumps down onto the couch beside me. Fangs sits beside his boyfriend. "It seems like it's just the Scooby gang- well except for you."

"Why did they leave you behind?" Fangs asks as he looks over to me, "they realize you're not as cool as them?"

"I'm cooler than them," I tell him chuckling lightly, "and not that you care but Archie and Veronica are talking to a recruiter. Betty and Jughead are with Charles because the FBI needs teenagers to solve their cases." They nod lightly. Clearly amused. "Apparently there was another tape? It was about killing Mr. Honey. Which is wild but I'm staying out of it."

"Good for you," Sweet Pea says as he moves his arm across my shoulders, "because then we can go to the movies all four of us. Watch some stupid horror movie before we go to Pops?"

"Actually Veronica is doing something at the Speakeasy," I tell them, "or else I'd be completely down." Sweet Pea sighs lightly, "But don't worry we can totally do that later."

"Fine fine," Sweet Pea says, "But I get to pick the movie."

"Deal," I tell him as the bell rings loudly, "come on let's get to class losers."

~~~

At lunch, I pop into the Blue and Gold office to work on my article when I see Betty and Jughead sitting together working carefully.

"Hey babe," Jug says perking up slightly. I walk to his side meeting him into a soft kiss. He smiles brightly as I pull back. I smile lightly at Betty as he snakes his arm around my waist.

"Well," I say to them, "catch me up?"

So they do. Apparently, they went to go see Bret in juvie or prison. Whatever. And he told them about some gross club that plays all the blue velvets weird tapes. 

"I'm so glad I didn't have to see that psychopath," I say as I sit on the desk, "so what are you going to do?" Jug shrugs lightly. Clearly out of ideas on the subject. 

"Okay, I know this is Riverdale," Betty says, "but where do we get a snuff film in which someone gets murdered on screen? But those are just urban legends, I thought."

"Well, not according to Nicolas Cage movies," Jug says.

"Or the dark web," I add.

"Maybe we can make one," Jug offers.

"A snuff film?" Betty asks completely taken back at the suggestion.

"Well, a facsimile of one," Jug says, "It just has to be convincing enough for David to let his guard down. We could even borrow the equipment from the AV club."

"And Jellybean probably still has that fake blood leftover from Halloween," Betty says.

"You guys are really doing this?" I ask them. They nod. Completely glazing over how crazy this all is. I chuckle lightly. "Alright um- Leave me out. I'm gonna go get lunch with Sweet Pea.  We've got an essay to write." Jug's smile drops lightly. "Sorry babe. But I'll see you at the Speakeasy?"

"Yeah," He replies. I nod moving to peck his cheek. 

~~~

Sweet Pea and I are one of the first to get to the Speakeasy. Which meant the two of us setting up at the bar ordering drinks the first chance we get. 

"Okay but you're ignoring the fact that the girls in college get to know you from a clean slate," I point out, "like no gang ties, no weird stories about ex-girlfriends, no murder cults or serial killers. You get a completely blank slate."

"You're talking it up way too much for someone going into college married," Sweet Pea chuckles as he swirls his drink around lightly, "I mean what you flaking out or something?"

"No, I'm just trying to convince you to focus ahead and not on the girls you won't see soon," I tell him as I raise my glass lightly. I sip the drink carefully as he nods. "But if you really wanted to hook up with someone go ahead- but if you sleep with Betty I'll kill you." He chuckles lightly.

"Hey beautiful," I hear as arms wrap around me. I look to see Jughead smiling brightly. He kisses my forehead carefully as Sweet Pea chugs his drink. "You miss me?"

"Always," I say as I pull him into a quick kiss. He moves back into it eagerly. One of his hands moving into my hair. 

"Disgusting," Sweet Pea says. I chuckle lightly as I pull away from my fiance. "You two are disgusting." 

"You're jealous," Jug says, "because she's hot as hell."

"Mmm been there done that," Sweet Pea chuckles. I roll my eyes lightly. Jug looks back at me.

"Veronica wants us to sit with her, Betty, and Archie," Jug tells me. I look over to Sweet Pea. He smiles lightly.

"Fangs and Kevin are here," He tells me, "I'm gonna go sit with them."

"You sure?" I ask him. He nods.

"Yeah go have fun," He says. I nod. Jughead leads us over to the table with the others. I see someone new sitting beside Archie. 

"Hey!" Veronica calls, "K.O. this is Jughead's fiance Y/n, Y/n this is my friend and Archie's competition, K.O. Kelly." I offer my hand to the man. He shakes it carefully. Gripping my hand slightly too tight. But with the muscles he has, I don't believe he means to.

"It's nice to meet you," I say shaking his hand carefully.

"Same here," He says brightly.

Veronica smiles as she excuses herself to head to the stage.

"Is everyone having a good time tonight?" Veronica says as she gets on to the stage. Cheers fill the crowd. "Excellent. In honor of my friend K.O.'s visit, I thought I'd share a little tune for you tonight. It was written by someone very special to me. This one's for you, Archiekins."

"There's no warning, When everything changes you let down your guard and I saw something strange," Veronica sings. I smile lightly. But Archie's look of horror peaks my interest. 

"I thought he's not made for this world and neither am I. 'Cause you make me wanna be stronger than I am And maybe I'm reaching this place in a feeling there's no way to know but to try. So give me tonight. Tonight~"

https://youtu.be/ac2HogyPIIs

Jughead moves draping his arm over my shoulders. As the song ends we all cheer loudly. Veronica smiles proudly as she hurries back to our table. I lift my drink to my lips carefully.

"So K.O. wanna come to our prom while you're here?" Veronica offers, "I mean it might make things interesting." 

"Of course," K.O. says, "but won't that be a little- you know."

"Awkward?" Jug suggest.

"Yeah," K.O. says.

"No not at all," Veronica says, "it'll be fun." He looks to the rest of us. I chuckle lightly.

"Someone has to crash," I offer, "why not?" He nods lightly. 

"Yeah," Archie says, "why not?"

"Fine, I'll go," K.O. says, "not like I have anything better to do." He chuckles lightly. We nod along. I look over to my fiance and smile as K.O. and veronica start chatting about an old friend of hers. 

"Wanna go home?" I ask him, "spend some time together?"

"Oh absolutely," He says smiling brightly. I chuckle lightly as he gives Archie some excuse before rushing us out. 

~~~

The next morning Jug was back in the case and this time around he wasn't letting me get away this easy.

"You and Betty could go," He suggests, "she won't have to go in alone and you can handle yourself."

"The guys there creep me out," I say as I stir my coffee, "they all look at me like I'm a piece of meat." He spins lightly in his chair at the kitchen island. I look back at him carefully. "Besides I don't wanna be apart of this snuff film thing... Why can't we just hang out at Pops and let the cops and the FBI handle this crap-"

"Crap?" Jug asks, "he's making snuff films wearing masks of our faces." I sigh lightly as he looks over me carefully. Clearly not amused with my attitude. "Why aren't you taking this seriously?"

"You want my honest answer?" I ask him. He nods. "There haven't been any bodies found. No actual evidence of anything other than stalking and voyeurism. Honestly, I'm not all that worried- I'm just trying to get out of here."

"Yeah but our families are here," Jug says.

"So us digging around in someone else's business only makes it worse," I say at once, "it puts them at risk."

"But if we put him away then there is no risk," Jug snaps back.

"And what if we can't put him away?" I ask him, "I can help you if you need it- but I hate that store. Don't make me go." He sighs.

"Yeah alright," He tells me. 

"We need to get going anyways," I tell him, "come on I don't wanna be late for class."

He nods following me as we head out for my truck. When we get to the school it's already time for class making us go our separate ways immediately. We meet back up at lunch. He's sitting with Fangs, Sweet Pea, and me in our normal spot at one of the lunch tables outside. 

"I mean the man built like a tank!" Sweet Pea exclaims, "and Archie hypes me up like I can kick his ass. I mean I've kicked red's ass but that was before he wrestled a fucking bear!" We all laugh at the boy's distress, "I mean damn- he went from guitar boy to boxer. I wasn't exactly training like he was." 

"Sure sure but uh you'll catch upright?" I ask him.

"Yeah yeah," Pea says, "and uh I'll take red."

"And I'll marry the queen," Fangs chuckles.  

Sweet Pea rolls his eyes harshly. 

Jug looks down at his phone. I look over at him carefully.

"What's going on?" I ask him carefully. 

"Wanna go to a rave?" He asks me.

"A rave?" I ask him carefully, "do I look like I take molly?"

"It could be fun," He tells me, "and this it's our break in the case." I sigh lightly.

"Fine," I tell him, "but I'm gonna look hot."

~~~

Jug and I stand outside the building. He looks over me with a slight smirk.

"What?" I ask him carefully.

"I can't wait until we get back and I can get that off of you," He chuckles lightly, "because- you look so beautiful." I smile lightly. He chuckles. The back door opens. Betty nods as she lets us in.

"Welcome to the Film Society," She tells me, "My dad's playing in Room 317, apparently." She doesn't seem amused. Jug and I step in carefully. 

"Awesome," Jug says.

"If we weren't so busy I'd drop in," I say as I look around the back stairwell. I move taking the lead. When we get to the main hallway I see the rave aspect in full swing. "God I feel like I'm 15 again."

"You went to raves?" Betty asks me slightly intrigued. 

"Well raves typically meant free drugs," I tell her, "what exactly are we supposed to be looking for here?"

"We should see if any of the Auteur's movies are playing," Jug offers, "or if any of these people are fans of his." We step by one of the connecting rooms. Inside one of the sex tapes is playing on the large screen. A crowd gathered to watch. I make a face of disgust as I look back to Jug. "Let me just get a lay of the land first." We look through a couple more rooms. One has one of the stupid tickle videos playing. Another one is playing a video of some guy getting beat up in the woods. All around it's not exactly my scene. People pass us as we walk through the crowd. Some wearing masks. Some just wearing darker clothing and rave gear. Jug stops in front of a door. I move to his side to see a child on the screen.

"Can you do that, Harold? Convince him?" The lady behind the camera asks. I look over it carefully. This must be the video Betty was talking about. Betty joins us. By the look on her face, I can tell I'm right. Jug moves off past us. "You're a good boy, Harold. Your father made a mistake. But you, you will do better. You must do better." I look over to Betty then move to follow him. 

"Betty," Jug calls as we reach the room at the end of the hall. I see multiple projectors. Movies playing all over the room. I look around carefully. Suddenly my comfort in just the minor stalking starts to fade. The people in the room watching all have masks on.

"These are all the Auteur's films," Jug says as he looks to Betty and me carefully. 

"Well, then he's gotta be in here," Betty tells him. Jug moves to take my hand carefully. He leads us over to a couple of the people.

"Do you know who the director of this is?" He asks the girl before us. She shoves him off before moving away. He moves to another person. "Do you know who the director of this..." Another person dodges. He looks to one of the guys pushing up his mask. "Are you the director?" The guy moves forward harshly as Jug lets go of my hand trying to start a fight.

"Jug," I say at once.

"Oh, I'm actually such a big fan," Jug taunts, "If I'm lucky, I'll get an autograph."

"Who is that?" Someone calls then I feel someone grab my arm.

"Look it's our favorite e girl," Some random guy says looking at me like nothing more than an object. He smirks lightly. "You're even hotter in person." I yank my arm back. Ready to tell him off. But Jug rushes towards him punching him in the face. 

"Whoa, whoa, hey!" I call out as I try to grab Jug.

"Stop!" Betty yells as Jug turns to run at the guy he was originally talking with. Ready to throw another punch.

"Jug, we're leaving," I say firmly, "come on let's go." He nods lightly. I grab ahold of his hand and lead him out of the room carefully. When we get to the hallway Betty looks ahead carefully.

"Guys look," She says pointing forward. A guy wearing an owl mask with a camera stands at the end of the hallway. My eyes widen as I look over the scene. 

"That's him," Jug says, "That's gotta be him." We move forward. Swerving through the crowd carefully. Jug gets ahead of Betty and me. I turn to grab her wrist carefully to lead her through the hall. But Jug stops ahead of us.  "Jellybean?"

"Jughead?" The girl says as she looks over us. 

"Betty, go," Jughead tells her as the owl dude starts to slip after the crowd, "Let us stay with Jellybean. Go, after him!" She moves off frantically. 

"What are you doing here?" JB asks us.

"No, what are you doing here?" Jug asks harshly.

"My friends and I heard there was a party," JB says innocently, "Am I in trouble?"

"No, no, you're not in trouble," Jug says, "Y/n you stay with here. I'm gonna try to track this guy down with Betty. We can meet by the car." I nod lightly. He runs off. JB looks over me carefully. 

"This isn't exactly Jug's scene," JB says finally, "you drag him here?"

"Actually he dragged me here," I tell her as I wave to move back through the crowd to head out, "you know how he gets when he thinks he's got something. He'd run to the end of the earth to prove it."

"What do you think about it?" JB asks me carefully.

"I think if this videotape asshole doesn't leave my fiance alone I'm going to use that beat your dad got me for my car," I tell her. She nods as we get out the doors to the night breeze. When we get to my truck leaning carefully against the hood. JB bounces nervously.

"You aren't gonna tell my dad right?" She asks me.

"I won't tell him."

"Is Jug?"

I turn to look at her carefully.

"You drink?" 

"No."

"Did you take something?"

"No."

"Eat something?"

"Eat something?" She asks me, "why?"

"Edibles ya rookie," I say as I shove her lightly. She chuckles.

"I didn't do anything," She assures me, "I was just here because my friends were." I nod lightly. Remembering being in her shoes years ago. 

"Yeah I did that a lot at your age," I tell her, "except I made some pretty dumb calls- I'll keep your brother from coming down too hard. Just get in the truck alright?" She nods. When the other two come back I can tell they got nothing. "Let's get her home-"

"No, let's stop at Pop's," Jug says, "we all smell like a bar. We should wait until my dad and Alice are asleep." I nod. We all gather into the car for an almost painful car ride.

When we finally get to Pop's Jug watches his sister carefully. Clearly deciding if he's mad or not.

"Hey kids," Pop Tate says brightly as he walks towards us. "What can I get you?"

"Two coffees," I tell him ordering for myself and Jug.

"I'm good," Betty says next.

"Can I have a strawberry milkshake?" JB asks. Pops nods as he moves off to get the orders. The table remains painfully silent. Even when Pops returns to drop the drinks off for us. As I stir the sugar in my coffee Betty decides to break the silence.

"How did you even know where to go, Jellybean?" Betty asks her carefully.

"My friend, Lauren, from soccer," JB explains, "Her older brother heard about a rave."

"From who?" Jug asks at once.

"- I don't know," JB says, "He's on some email list." Jug sighs harshly.

"It's underground Jug there were a hundred different ways to get in there," I tell him, "and they clearly weren't there for the movies." JB nods.

"Jug, I swear, I've never been to a rave before," JB says carefully. Jug looks at her carefully.

"Will you just promise me you're not gonna go to any more X-rated raves from now on?" Jug asks her, "Especially if I end up in the University of Iowa. Okay?"

"Yes," She says carefully.

"You promise me?"

"I promise," She says. I smile lightly.

"See it all worked out," I tell her as I toss the money for the bill on the table, "now let's go home."

When we finally get to the houses Betty helps sneak JB back into hers while Jug and I head to mine. When we get to my room he sighs loudly.

"What's wrong?" I ask him.

"My sister snuck into the snuff film rave," He says harshly, "I mean- how am I supposed to be okay leaving her in this town when she does that?"

"She's your sister and she's a teenager," I tell him, "she's gonna act out. Now relax. It's not your job to worry about her." He nods lightly. "Tomorrow is prom night. Just calm down and focus on the good."

"Right," He says softly. I pull him into a quick peck before pulling back to pull off my outfit. He lays back clearly not amused anymore. I grab one of his shirts before climbing into bed. Wrapping my arms around him carefully. "I love you."

"I love you too."

~~~

The next day is a blur. Sending Jughead home to get ready as the girls do the whole getting our nails and hair done. It's nice to enjoy moments like this. Ignoring the whole we won't have this for much longer thing. 

"Hurry your ass up!" Lily calls down to my room. I chuckle harshly as I move upstairs. When I get up to the living room she smiles brightly. "Oh, you look so pretty!" She moves pulling me into a tight hug. I chuckle lightly.

"You're smothering me," I groan lightly. She pulls back looking over me with a smile. I see Jug next. He melts lightly as he looks over me. He walks towards me capturing me in a tight hug. Then a soft kiss. My hands move to his cheeks. Enjoying the soft kiss. But the eyes on us forces us apart. 

"You're so beautiful," He says softly.

"And you're so handsome," I say smiling lightly.

He chuckles. He looks nods to his side. I look past him and see Sweet Pea matching our colors. I smile widely.

"Oh, no way!" I exclaim waving him towards us, "I love it!"

"Jug helped me pick out the colors," Sweet Pea says as he moves to pull me into a hug. I hold onto him tightly. Once he pulls back he gives me a big smile. "I figured if I'm gonna crash your date I'd do it in style."

"In style, you are," I say smiling brightly. 

"Alright picture time," Lily says as she waves the three of us together. I throw my arms over the boys' shoulders as we smile for the picture. The next one she takes they both are kissing my cheeks playfully. After about a dozen she lets us go.

After the short drive, admittedly because I was speeding, to the school we meet the others eagerly. 

"Oh look at you three," Veronica says brightly as she pulls me into a hug. She smiles as she looks at Sweet Pea and Jug. "I love it."

"My dates," I say playfully, "just no throuple jokes tonight or I'll kill myself." The others chuckle brightly. "Now let's come on!" I drag Jug inside the gym. It looks great. All the bright decorations. A lot better than the stupid G&G crap. Pea smiles as he moves to my side. When we get to the dance floor the three of us dance together brightly. I grab my phone and the boys to take a couple of pictures. 

Betty convinces Jug to dance with her when a fast song starts. I move dancing with Pea. He spins me quickly as Jug and Betty pass us.

"Is it weird?" I ask him when I face back to him. His hands move to my hips. 

"Nah our relationship is past all that," He chuckles, "we are simply build different." I roll my eyes lightly as he spins me again. 

After our dance Reggie moves to offer me his hand. I take it chuckling lightly. 

After about an hour of dancing with everyone and just enjoying the moment we all move to our table. Jug and I chat lightly as Sweet Pea wraps his arms around me. Chuckling lightly as the three of us talk about some stupid thing Pea said.

"I'd like to propose a toast..." Kevin says raising his cup slightly, "to surviving this crazy town and making it a night that we'll never forget."

"Cheers!" We all say cheerfully.

As the music slows down Reggie and Pea decide to dance. Making fun of the whole slow dancing thing. I chuckle lightly watching them.

"Let's dance," Jug says as he looks over to me.

"Jughead Jones wants to dance?" I ask him carefully.

"Just for you," He smiles. 

"Well then who am I to say no?" I ask him. He nods and pulls me back to the dance floor. We move to the soft music. Enjoying the sweet moment. 

However, the music ends as Weatherbee takes the stage.

"Well, the votes have been tallied and double-checked by Ms. Bell," Weatherbee says, "It is now my honor to announce this year's prom king and queen...Actually, make that prom queens. Congratulations to Miss Cheryl Blossom and Miss Antoinette Topaz." The crowd cheers lightly as the couple takes the stage. I stand boredly with Jug. "Your new prom queens, let's hear it!"

"Mr. Weatherbee, fellow classmates," Cheryl says as she reaches the mic, "tonight, Toni and I are being named Riverdale High's first openly gay royal couple. However, no queenship is complete without their court. So would my dear cousin Betty Cooper, Reggie Mantle, Y/n L/n, Jughead Jones, Kevin Keller, Fangs Fogarty, Veronica Lodge, and Archie Andrews, please join us for the traditional promenade court dance." I move with Jug to where the prom court would normally share their dance. I turn pulling him closer so we can move to the slow music. I rest my head on his chest as we move. But we don't get to enjoy the moment. Suddenly the song switches to Psycho Killer. The screen that was once showing pictures of the senior class now has a video of people dressed like me and my friends all stabbing a man with the name of the Blue Velvet shop owner on it. 

Jug runs slamming the projector to the ground while Betty cuts the power to the stage. I move towards Sweet Pea shaking lightly. Betty and Jug rush back over to us. 

"Did they just kill that guy from Blue Velvet Video?" Betty asks Jug.

"Yeah, come on we need to go," Jug says to the three of us. I shake my head firmly.

"No I'm not getting involved," I say at once, "you can hunt the psycho all you want but I'm done." He nods lightly.

"Fine," He says softly, "Pea can you take her home?"

"Yeah of course," Sweet Pea tells him.

 Jug looks over to Betty.

"Let's go."

The chaperones tell the students they can decide if they want to leave or not. Most stay. However, Pea and I decide to just head home. When we finally get back to my house we flop down on my bed still in our formal wear.

"You really don't wanna be a teen detective anymore huh?" Pea asks me as we pass my flask back and forth.

"Not at all," I admit, "I'm over saving this damn town. I wanna get out."

"Even if it means leaving Jones behind?" He asks me. I lift the flask up carefully. Not wanting to answer the question. I hand it back over to him as I stand from my bed.

"Wanna crash here?" I ask him, "Jug won't be back for a while."

"Sure," He answers as he tosses off his jacket. I move starting to pull off my dress. He makes a point to turn around. When I get the giant hoodie and shorts on I turn back to see him in his shirt and boxers. I chuckle lightly. "What?" He asks carefully.

"Nothing- just really classy with the T-Rex boxers," I tease lightly. He rolls his eyes as I climb into bed. He jumps onto the bed beside the wall. 

"My T-Rex boxers get all the ladies," He tells me. 

"Yeah yeah," I tell him, "night loser."

"Night."
