We came back home after awhile sweet pea was so happy to see me but since the quarantine a lot of things have changed.
As we walked through school sweet pea had his arm around me.
"No touching" moose says stepping in front of us
"What?" Sweet pea asks
"It's the rules touching is to a minimum" he says
Sweet pea steps up to moose "your not gonna tell me I can't touch my girlfriend alright? I am making up for lost time due to the fact this town went under quarantine and she couldn't come back and Neither her nor I had had a seizure nor has there been any reports of one in weeks, so get out of my way before I make you" sweet pea says poking his chest
"We don't make the rules" moose says
"No but your standing in front of me enforcing it" sweet pea says
"Moose we're all friends here just let us pass ok" I ask and he looks at me then back at sweet pea and then moves
"Good choice" sweet pea says and wraps his arm around me and we head to class.
The next day we all gathered together "all right serpents it's come to my attention that one of us had been dealing fizzle rocks, slinging dope is not what serpents do. So from this moment on we're going clean. There'll be no selling or doing drugs. No crimes of any kind will be tolerated anyone that breaks the serpent code will be exiled permanently" Jughead says
"I think it's pretty ridic that you vanish for a month on some vision quest with your besties, only to return and lecture us about responsibility" Cheryl says
"We got no money coming in jug I mean how are we supposed to eat, survive?" Fangs says
"Juggy fangs is right I agree no dealing but we need an income and quick" I say to him
"We'll figure it out and get back to you fangs all of you in the meantime in unity there is strength" FP says putting his to fingers up and curled like serpent teeth
We all follow "in unity there is strength" we all chant.
That night I step out to take a phone call
"Hey axel, how's everything there?" I ask him
"It's good. Your back home now I heard that awesome, maybe I can come down sometime" he says
"That would be awesome axe, I don't know if you would like it it's kinda crazy right now" I chuckle
"Yeah i bet, trying to get up on your feet again" he says
"Yeah. It's good hearing from you how's jb?" I ask
"Bossy but she's good" he says
I don't realize sweet pea steps out and is listening to me.
"When you do come here there is the swimming hole I have to show you" I say
"I can't wait I'll bring my swim suit" he says and I laugh
"Ok I gotta go it's getting late, by axe" I say
"Alright sleep tight I'll text you in the morning" he says
"Sounds good bye" I say and hang up I turn around to see sweet pea sitting down
"Who was that?" He asks me
"Oh that he's a friend I met on the run with Jughead and Archie" I say
"Is he the person your always calling and texting?" He asks and I go over to him and kiss his lips
"Don't be jealous my sweets he's just my long distance friend" I say to him
"I'm not" he says even though I can see he's lying.
The next night Jughead calls all of us
"Serpents earlier today I brokered a deal I got us a paid gig, and Avery your sister she wants you to come back and help her manage everything. From here on out we'll be working security details for Veronica lodge and Avery lodge, their speakeasy and their employees" Jughead says
"Long live the serpents whoo!" Sweet pea yells
"Settle down I know it's good news for a change, but I also gathered us here for a less celebratory reasons. Cheryl, Toni come up here" Jughead says
"Excuse me? What did we do" Cheryl asks
"You broke into the lodge apartment and stole a glamorous egg" jug says and Cheryl stands up
"So what if we did?" Cheryl asks
"We'll more than that you left your calling card, attaching yourself and by extension all of the serpents to your crime" Jughead says
"I'm not afraid of lodge what's he gonna do, call the sheriff? Oh right there is no sheriff." Cheryl says
"Cheryl that's not the point you broke the code turn in your jackets and go" jug says
"Are you serious jones? I'm a serpent by blood you can't take that away from me" Toni says
"You hypocrite you give your drug dealing buddy fangs a pass but you crucify us?" Cheryl asks and I get in front of fangs
"Don't speak to him" I growl
"In case you were wondering how we know fangs told sweet pea and Avery. And sweet pea told me" Toni says
"Who told me" Cheryl says
"If you're asking for our jackets shouldn't you be asking for his as well?" Cheryl asks
"Jug" Betty says
"No" I say to jug and he looks at the ground
"You're right" Jughead says to Cheryl "fangs give me your jacket" jug says
"Hey what the hell man" sweet pea says walking up to jug and I grab fangs
"Hell no" I growl
"It's ok sweet pea, Avery" fangs says looking down at me
"It's not fair fangsy" I say to him
"It is fair I knew the law and I broke it" he says to me and smiles and walks up to Jughead
He takes his jacket off and throws it on the ground
"Some leader you are" fangs says to him And walks away
"Fangs" sweets says and pushes Jughead
"I hope your happy Jughead" I say say run after fangs with him but FP stops sweets and me.
"Cheryl, Toni" Jughead says
"We'll go but we're keeping our jackets" Cheryl says
"Fine but I need that egg back" Jughead says
"Come again?" Cheryl asks
"You need to give me that damn egg, or Veronica won't give us the protection contract" jug says
"Why the hell would I care? I'm not a serpent anymore" Cheryl says
"Because I believe that you still have honor Cheryl and it's getting cold out and the rest of us don't get to go back to thistlehouse" Jughead asks
That night I listened to sweet pea go on and on about Jughead and how he's an asshole.
The next day I go with some serpents to protect Reggie
"Trash the cargo, all of it" I hear
"I -I wouldn't do that if I were you" Reggie says they open it and FP strikes and we jump out
I take my crow bar as sweet pea takes a bat
"Let go of my friend" I say to the one holding Reggie and I chase him
"I tried to tell you" Reggie says to the one on the ground
"Pick him up" Jughead says sweets and FP do
"I want you to go back to your gargoyle king, or your man in black or hiram lodge and I want you to tell him that Veronica lodge is now under the protection of the serpents and that riverdale has not fallen. Go" Jughead says before pushing him
I pat reggies back and we get back into the truck
Later that night Jughead and I and sweets and FP go and see fangs
"Fangs my dad and I were talking we wanna give you another shot at redemption" Jughead says
"What are you thinking?" Jughead asks
"We want you to go undercover join the gargoyle gang we need a man on the inside of hiram lodges drug operation so that we can take him down. Are you in?" Jughead asks
"It's be an honor" fangs says and I jump on him and hug him
