Chapter 3. Reconciliation.
"I'm gonna sing the part that's in cursive, okay. Because I can only read it," Jughead said. "Okay, baby?"
"Yeah," Betty said. "You're right, I can't read that."
Jughead laughed. "Okay, here I go,
"There is a town called Riverdale,
It's a place, most people call home,
There is a town called Riverdale,
And I don't ever feel alone.
But there's something everyone knows,
The worst kind of people,
Also call Riverdale home...
This is a town that's full of secrets,
And hides it with its uniqueness,
This is a town that's full of secrets,
And I live in it..." Betty started to sing:
"There is a town called Riverdale,
It's a town that I love,
There is a town called Riverdale,
But when push come to shove,
But there's something everyone knows,
The worst kind of people,
Also call Riverdale home...
This is a town that's full of secrets,
And hides it with its uniqueness,
This is a town that's full of secrets,
And I live in it..." Betty sang and then they both sang:
"In it,
In it.
There is a town called Riverdale,
I love it,
But when push comes to shove,
This is a town that's full of secrets,
And hides it with its uniqueness,
This is a town that's full of secrets,
And I live in it...
In it,
And I live in it...
The town of secrets..." They finished singing and everyone clapped, even Veronica and Archie.
They got off of the stage and Veronica and Archie slowly walked up to them. "That was okay, I guess," Archie said and Veronica elbowed him in the gut. "OW!"
"Baby, don't lie. They were really good up there," Veronica said. "I'm really sorry, Betty. For all of this. And Archie's most likely sorry, too. I mean, it was a totally bitch move. I'm so sorry."
"Yeah, I'm sorry, Betty. I really didn't mean all of the stuff I said about you in high school," Archie said.
"It's fine, guys. I mean, it did hurt a lot that I had lost my best friends, but I mean, it's okay. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about the Black Hood," Betty said and Jughead looked at her.
He whispered into her ear, "Why are you saying sorry?"
She whispered back, "Because then we'll have more friends other than Jellybean!"
She turned back to them.
"So again, Betty, I'm really sorry. Friends?" Veronica asked.
Betty smiled and extended her arms. "Friends," Betty said and they hugged.
Jughead and Archie stared awkwardly and fist bumped.
"Hello everyone! I'm Josie, as you may know, and we surprisingly have another performance. Please welcome: Choni!" Josie said. "Performing their new song: We Are Girls!"
Cheryl and Toni walked onto the stage, and Betty, Jughead, Veronica, and Archie cheered loudly. Cheryl started singing:
"We are girls!
We are girls!
Every girl as girl power,
So on all the guys, let it shower!
We aren't gonna let the guys,
Take the spotlight!
We are girls,
We'll show the world,
That we aren't moving!
We'll plant our feet,
On the ground,
Yeah we'll be grooving!
We are girls and we aren't moving..." Toni then started singing:
"Hey, hey, hey, hey,
I know what you're thinking
That it's typical for girls to be singing,
Well I'm gonna prove it to ya,
That girls are powerful,
We are girls,
We'll show the world,
That we aren't moving!
We'll plant our feet,
On the ground,
Yeah we'll be grooving!
We are girls and we aren't moving..." Then they both started singing:
"Yeah!
Oh.
We aren't moving!
We are girls,
We'll show the world,
That we aren't moving!
We'll plant our feet,
On the ground,
Yeah we'll be grooving!
We are girls and we aren't moving!
We are girls!
We are girls!
We are girls!
We are girls!" Everyone clapped and cheered. They walked off of the stage and Jughead, Betty, Archie, and Veronica walked up to them.
"That was great!" Betty said.
"Yeah!" Veronica said.
Jughead and Archie just clapped awkwardly.
"Thanks. I'm glad you guys made up," Cheryl said.
"Yeah. I'm gonna go get punch," Toni said. "Love you, love."
"Love you too, love," Cheryl said and kissed Toni.
Toni walked off. "Ta, ta," she said and waved.
"TT is so kind," Cheryl said and grabbed her heart. "She let me have sex with a man so that we could have a baby. Can you tell if I'm pregnant?"
"You are?" Betty asked.
"Yeah," Cheryl said. "Isn't it awesome?!"
"Very," Veronica said. "Me and Archie are trying actually. So I can't drink any wine in case I'm pregnant and I could have a miscarriage."
"True," Betty said and Cheryl nodded.
"So how's life with Jughead?" Cheryl asked.
"It's great. We have a daughter named Janelle, and I already know we're gonna have boy, so we're gonna name him Ben," said Betty.
"Oh, that sounds great," Veronica said.
Betty's phone went off. Get in the car or else I'll kill you. the text read. It was from an unknown number. Betty ran up to Jughead. "Juggie, I just got a text from an unknown number." She showed the text to Jughead.
"Okay, we need to get going," Jughead said. "See you guys, later."
"Wait, why?" Veronica asked.
"Yeah, why?" Archie asked.
"Because she's tired," Jughead lied.
"Bye, you guys," Betty said and waved.
"TEXT ME!" Veronica said.
"I will!" said Betty.
"Bye, Betty," Archie said.
"Bye, you guys," Jughead said, with his hand on Betty's back.
They walked out to the car.
Betty and Jughead walked to the car, and no serial killer. "Well, it was probably just a prank," Jughead said. Betty nodded.
"Okay, let's get in the car," said Betty.
They got into the car and started to drive home. Betty's phone dinged. She looked at her phone and there was another text from that number: You are pathetic if you think that I'll actually kill you, for now... Tell Jughead he'll be dead soon, too. And your kids.
Betty gasped. "Jughead!" she said. "Listen, you are pathetic if you think that I'll actually kill you, for now. Tel Jughead he'll be dead soon, too. And your kids. What are we gonna do?"
"Call the number," Jughead said.
"Okay," Betty said and she hit the call button.
