"Really? 'Cause I thought we really had something then," Reggie said.

"Unfortunately, you thought wrong. Well, our friendship was growing, and that's it. Not even the date meant anything." Veronica replied.

Reggie sighed, "whatever. What do you want?"

"Well, I was wondering if you could help me get Archie out of jail."

Reggie scoffed.

"Oh c'mon, you and Archiekins are iconic frenemies." Veronica begged.

"Veronica, can you count the many times Andrews screwed up?" Reggie inquired.

Veronica let out a sigh, "please? It would mean so much to me."

She put her hand on his chest and stared into his eyes, intensely.

Reggie gave in, "fine."

Veronica squealed, "thank you!"

"I still need to think of a plan, though."

"You don't have a plan?" Reggie face palmed.

"I'm trying, Reggie. I'll think of one soon."

After school, Veronica went straight to her room.

She's been in there for a few hours, though Jughead didn't really care about what she was doing.

A few hours later, Jughead was starting to get a bit worried.

It only took another hour 'til Jughead went upstairs to Veronica's room.

Hot Dog followed.

Jughead knocked.

No answer.

He knocked again.

No answer.

Just then, the boy barged in, opening the door himself.

He saw Veronica sleeping, her head laying on her desk.

Jughesd inhaled, "Veronica!" He shouted.

Veronica instantly jumped, waking up.

"What?" She rubbed her eyes.

"What are you doing?" Jughead asked.

Veronica looked down at the paper on her desk.

"Planning," Veronica answered, "on Archie's escape."

Jughead nodded in understanding.

"What are you doing?" Veronica questioned.

"I came to check on you, I thought you died," Jughead said.

"Understandable," Veronica looked at him.

Hot Dog sat on Veronica's bed.

"Anyways, looks like Hot Dog's staying here for the night," Jughead grinned.

"But-"

"Sweet dreams." Jughead left before Veronica could say anything else.

The girl sighed. She then looked at Hot Dog, who was sleeping on her bed.

She didn't like the idea of sleeping with a gang dog.

So, Veronica picked up Hot Dog. He growled at first.

She opened her bedroom door, and put Hot Dog down in the hallway.

Then, she closed the door.

Veronica changed into more comfortable clothes, when suddenly, she heard scratching on her door.

She opened it, and saw Hot Dog sitting there, wanting to come in.

"No," she said.

The dog whined.

Veronica felt guilty. She sighed, then let Hot Dog in.

She went to sleep, with Hot Dog sleeping aswell on her bed.

As soon as Veronica got to school, she searched for a specific blonde ponytail.

She found Betty talking to Evelyn.

Betty's hair was down, which seemed unusual.

"Hey, Betty." Veronica greeted.

"Oh, hi Veronica," Betty smiled.

Evelyn also smiled at Veronica.

"Um, can we talk? Alone?" Veronica asked.

Betty looked at Evelyn, then back at Veronica. "Sure."

The B&V pair went into the girl's washroom, and made sure that it was completely empty.

"Betty, I need you to help me with something." Veronica said.

"What is it?" Betty asked.
