Through the eye of the needle / Part 2

The last week Alice and FP had been acting civil towards each other. She had stopped starting an argument over everything and he had acted like he hadn't stormed out the other day. Basically it meant they were doing what they were good at: pretending there wasn't a situation they had to talk about so badly. For now it worked but the sudden change of mood hadn't gone unnoticed by their kids.

Living together all under the same roof was an uneasy situation sometimes, but everybody acted like it was the most normal thing in the world. Charles came by around breakfast a lot and joined dinner as much as he could just to be close to his new found family. He got along with Jellybean surprisingly well and he became real close to Betty during their investigation. Alice was a proud mother and FP and Charles seemed to have a lot in common as well.

Alice and FP hadn't really talked about what happened with Charles, only the specific things that had to do something with the case. She had been very closed about it, so he had no idea what has been going through her mind when it came to working with their son.

There was a night where she had explained everyone how it all had started, but that was all just technical information. Just one moment she had slipped out that she thought Charles just looked like FP, but she went upstairs just a few seconds after that so he couldn't open up the conversation about that yet.

Charles still had lot of time to catch up on so he offered to go to the school's fundraising together as a family. The art budget had been cut drastically so the students of Riverdale High did a lot the raise money to still have a musical in their senior year. It was one of the only projects they got to do together before they left for college so they wanted to fight for that.

They had organized a whole week of activities to raise enough money. On the first day they had started with a car wash by the Vixens and the Bull Dogs and the second day there was an Open Mic night in La Bonne Nuit, hosted by the one and only Veronica Lodge and Kevin Keller. Jughead was back in town for that week and so Charles thought it would be a perfect thing to go to as a family. There was free entertainment and they could donate something for the art fund.

So there they were, the five of them sitting at a table in La Bonne Nuit, getting their drinks served by Reggie who was the in charge of the bar that night.

Betty, Jellybean, Jughead and Charles sat between Alice and FP so they were as far as possible from each other. It created too big of a space to actually talk to each other without anyone hearing it but maybe in that was a good thing. Neither of them really knew what to say after what happened. Right now it just was a good thing that they were acting normal.

There had just been an incredible sexy but classy performance by Veronica, Toni and Cheryl that definitely brought much money for the fund raising night. You could see that they had practised a lot and everyone was deeply impressed by their moves. They got a big round of applause before Kevin walked up the stage and grabbed the microphone.

''Thank you to the beautiful ladies of Riverdale High! You were a pleasure to look at!'' The crowd cheered and the girls smiled proudly. Lots of people were donating money just the way they had hoped.

''I have to admit, I was a little bit surprised to see our next performer on the list. We have never hear him sing before, but that doesn't say anything about the hidden talent that might be there. People fear him, people love him, let me hear you for the one and only FP Jones!'' Kevin started applauding and the rest joined him.

At the table all the eyes went towards FP. FP just stayed serious, not giving into the stares that he just got from the four people who joined him this evening. Betty leant into her boyfriend, who was just as confused as she was. They were clapping but they were also really confused about the fact that FP decided to join the Open Mic Night and didn't tell them about it.
