Parker residence (Peters pov):
Its the morning after the 'Veronica incident' as this is going to be called, her finding out who I am was not a small feat maybe I have underestimated her, she might be smarter than she lets on to the world, or maybe this is all an act she puts up, to get the upper hand, but my thoughts were interupted by my phone getting a new message, I went over to look at my phone, and saw it was an text from Betty in our blue and gold group chat.
The blue and gold participants, Peter Parker, Betty Cooper and Jughead Jones:
Ponytail: okay who nicknamed me this?, not important, can you guys meet me in the office before first periode?
P.Parker: hey I like that name, but yeah I can, and it was Jughead, gotta go bye
Jugheads name was change to Jerkhead by Ponytail
Jerkhead: Peter Parker you traitor, it was your idea, but yeah I'll see you two there, and Parker if i'm going down i'm taking you with me!
P.Parkers name was changed to traitor by Jerkhead
I let out a small laugh, these two remind me so much of Ned and Betty, both completly oblivious to eachother, but these two seems to find together at one point, but hey who am I to judge, since I didn't see what was infront of me with MJ, but whats done is done.
I started to think about Ned and decided to text him, maybe I should even text MJ.
The holy trinity:
P.parker: hey guys, hows it going in queens?
Mj: look he lives, so why did you decide to text out of the blue?
Ned: be nice mj he has alot going on
Mj: yeah whatever I haven't heard from him, so screw this i'm out
Mj left the groupchat
P.parker: whats up with her?
Ned: who knows?, shes Michelle Jones, whats up Peter?
P.parker: sorry I haven't texted, I know I suck, I just wanted to hear about you and Betty?
Ned: its going Great actually, we are going steady, boyfriend and girlfriend, baes.
P.parker: I get the picture, good to hear, i'm so happy for you
Ned: what about you? Anyone special for you in Riverdale
P.parker: erhm, there was this girl named Josie, but I screwed up with her, it all ended with her best friend punching me in the face
Ned: holy hell Peter, are you okay
P.parker: yeah, I am, I may or may not have kissed Veronica
Ned: Lodge?!?!?!?
P.parker: shhhh not so loud Ned
Ned: you de realise we are texting right?
P.parker: oh yeah....hehe
Ned: dude, so you and Veronica?
P.parker: its complicated
P.parker: if you knew what was wrong with mj you would tell me right?
Ned: ofcourse, it was nice talking to you again, see you around
P.parker: yeah see you
New York (Neds pov):
I turned around and saw mj standing there, she gave me a small smile "you like him don't you?", I asked her.
She gave me a small nod, "I do, but he seems like he doesn't care about me, he doesn't text, doesn't call, hell I would have been satsified by a freaking letter, but nothing" mj said.
"Hes just busy, he'll call you trust me, he would never hurt you on purpose, you're special to him, dont forget that mj, you are Michelle effing Jones, but that phone works both ways you know", I said.
She went forward and have me a hug, "yeah I know, thank you Ned, but if you tell anyone about this conversation, I will end you", mj said, and there she was, the one and only, Michelle Jones.
"Yeah, you're welcome, lets go to school", I said.
Riverdale high (Peters pov):
What the hell was up with MJ?, I really have to call her soon, I went straight for the blue and gold, when I entered I saw Betty and Jughead already there, "hey guys", I said.
"Hey traitor" Jughead said with a small smirk, as we both shook hands, no hard feelings and all that.
"Hey Peter" Betty started, and walked towards a table to sit on, both Jughead and I took the seat opposite her and she continued "I asked my dad if I could call Polly last night, but he said she had gotten better, but then, when she had heard about Jason's death, she had a big set back he doesn't wanna risk a set back", Betty finished, as Jughead and I both listend to what she had to say about it all.
"I'm sorry Betty" Jughead said, as he grapped her hand a gave it a light squeeze.
"Yeah, that sucks, you can call me or Jughead if you need anything at all" I said.
"Thank you guys, it means alot to me", Betty said.
"So you said that on your date with Trev he mentioned Jason being a drug dealer, why would the Rich kid of Riverdale high need to sell drugs?", I asked
"He was running away from his parents", Betty said.
Jughead stood up from the chair "yeah probably, or drug dealers", Jughead said.
"Wait, maybe this was drug related, maybe he didn't give a cut to the dealers and they decided an eye for an eye", I said.
"Oh my god, is that even possible", Betty asked.
"For now it's a theory, yours is more likely, but why would he run away from Mommy and daddy?, Jughead asked.
"Because they're monsters", Betty said.
I turned towards Betty and said "that might be true, but why would he run away from them?, to become a drug dealer", I started, but walked towards the door, but then a thought hit me, "what if he did this for Polly?, what if they wanted to run away from this town?", I finished.
Betty gave me a glare and said "Polly and Jason hated eachother Peter, because Jason destroyed Polly", she finished.
"To answer your boths question, we can't just ask the Blossoms about it", Jughead started, and turned towards us again "but we can ask Jason", he finished.
"Not to burst your bubble, but Jason is dead", I said.
"Erhm, are you proposing a séance or?", Betty asked, as she raised an eyebrow at Jughead.
"No, dead men tell no tales, but their bedrooms, their houses", Jughead said.
"Jasons funeral", I said.
"Exactly", Jughead said, and we glanced at eachother giving a nod of approval this is the plan.
Riverdale high:
I walked down the hall way when I noticed Veronica, she looked like she just came out of practice, she walked down the hall and noticed Archie sitting there, I hid, as not to disturbe their conversation.
Riverdale high (Veronicas pov):
I had just finished practice as I noticed Archie sitting on a bench trying to bandage his hand, what is it with this guy?, I walked over to him, and sat next to him taking the bandage from him and applied it for him, "isn't this your playing hand?", I asked, he gave me a nod to prove my words right, and I continued "your hand is your instrument, you need to take better care of it, and you know, why don't You stop punishing yourself while you're at it?", I finished.
Archie gave me a look and said, "i'm not".
"You sure?" I asked.
"I got slammed, because I didn't know the play, and I didn't know the play because, like an idiot, instead of memorizing the plays, I was up late last night, working on my songs with Valerie, god i'm such an idiot", Archie said, I gave him a look.
"Valerie huh?" I started, but Archie gave me a look and I continued "no, I endorse it", I finished.
"You jelaous Ronnie", Archie said with a smirk.
"Please, I had my seven minutes in heaven with Archie Andrews", I started, but in the mean time finished wrapping up his hand, I gave it a kiss and continued "okay, good as new, but try to take better care of it, because that hand of yours is going to be worth millions one day", I finished as I took my bag and walked away from him.
Riverdale high (Peter pov):
I didn't wanna snoop on their conversation so I left after Ronnie talked about his playing hand, I had asked Ronnie if she wanted to comeby, but she said she was invited to a sleepover at the Thornhill, i'm not really sure if i'm okay with her being alone in that hell house.
But as fate would have it Cheryl soon texted me.
Bombshell: hey nerd, so i'm having Veronica over for a sleepover, do you wanna come over to eat with us and hang out, please?
P.parker: sure Cheryl it would be lovely to meet your parents
Bombshell: you're funny, see you soon Peter
P.parker: yeah see you soon Cheryl
As I was done texting Cheryl I called May, but she didn't pick up, so it went to voice mail.
"Hey May its Peter, I just called to say I have picked up the groceries, and that i'm headed to Thornhill for dinner with Veronica, love you", Thornhill here I come
Thornhill:
I arrived at the entrance to the biggest house in riverdale Thornhill, Well I have to say its quite the ominous name for such a fine house, okay I lied this house is hella creepy, this is the sort of house that you want children to avoid during halloween, Well okay this has gone on long enough, lets get this party started, as I hit the door bell I heard quick feet coming to the door, and soon one redhead open the door but it wasn't Cheryl.
"Well hello there mister Parker, Cheryl told us you would be joining us this fine evening, would you like to enter?", Penelope asked.
"Hello miss Blossom, nice to see you again", I replied, and extended my hand for her to shake, as she took it my spider sense went on, I flinched my hand away alittle from her, she gave me a look and I continued "sorry static electricity", and shook her hand, she gave me a nod and a smile as she led me into the halls of Thronhill, but jeepers creepers, this place is scary, what is with all these different portraits?, soon I was led to where Veronica and Cheryl were, it was almost dinner time, so they were in the living area next to the dinning room.
"Hello mister parker, nice to see you again", Clifford said and shook my hand, again my spider sense went into overdrive, but this time I didn't flinch, what is up with this family, this isn't the first time, I had my senses kick into overdrive, I have to find out soon, I have an inkling whatever happend here wasn't good.
I went over to Cheryl and gave her a quick hug, I went over to Veronica and gave her a hug, I whispered in her ear "we need to be careful here, I dont think everything is as it seem", I said.
"You're just paranoid, chill, come on lets eat", Veronica said as we walked into the dinning room.
Thornhill dinner:
The table is huge, we were six people at the dinner table, Clifford, Penelope, Cheryl, Veronica, I and Nana Rose, I have to say that the last one is kinda freaking me out, she is staring at me, like she knows me and yet trying to place the face, as we were eating dinner Veronica spoke "thank you for having us", including me in the conversation
Penelope said "Cheryl invited you, but Peter here we owed, but I have no idea why you're here", she finished and gave Veronica a look.
Veronica looked at Cheryl and said "me neither, I thought there would be other girls and not just me and Peter"
Clifford took second for himself and looked at Nana Rose and said "would you like some more ham?", Nana didn't reply and was just staring out into the open and occasionly staring at me, Clifford looked to Veronica and said "what about you Veronica would you like some more maple ham?", he finished.
"I'm good, its delicious though, you can really taste the maple", Veronica said, and continued to eat the food on her plate.
"What about you Peter, would you like some more?, a boy in growth needs to eat", Clifford asked me.
"Sure, its really good, who would have thought maple would be this delicious outside of pancakes", I said which got a snicker out of Cheryl, but her mom quickly shot her a glare endning her snicker and she entered her scowl mode again, Jesus is she Batman or?
Clifford wiped his mouth for food and said, "you two do know that riverdale was founded on the maple-syrup Industry"
"Can't say I did, but fascinating", I said, again Nana Rose was staring at me, I turned towards her an gave her a smile, she just smiled back and turned towards the dinner table again.
"But here is some more history, sweetwater river got the name because of the maple syrup, perhaps you should ask your father about it sometime, and you your aunt Peter, how is he by the way?" Clifford said, why the hell would he bring up Veronicas dad?, they seem like they know eachother, okay I can see where Cheryl get her personality from, is it bad if I go back home, hmm maybe Felicia would answer a call from me?, no bad Peter, she isn't good for you.
"Okay", Veronica said, as she continued eating, I could see Veronica not caring about what they would say.
"There are worse things than prison", Penelope started, and Cheryl quicklý answered her "like this dinner party", and Penelope raised her voice a smidge "what did you say?", everybody just looked around at eachother noone trying to say a word, the tension is so thick we could cut it with a butterknife.
Clifford soon broke the silence as he turned his attention towards Veronica "that must have been hard for you, watching your father being handcuffed and dragged out of your home infront of you, your mom, your neighbours and all those reporters", jesus this dinner is really awkward, why was I here again?, no idea, but the smug look on both Penelope and Clifford tells me they know more than they let on or their just terrible human beings, but hey they can be both, i'm not judging, okay I am they are not very nice, I hope this isn't gonna be a regular thing, becuase this place is like a magnet for bad things.
Veronica looked at me, gave me a small smile, to tell me she was okay to shut them down herself "honestly the worst part is how fast it happend, he was just gone, I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye, but Peter here has helped me through a tough time, so that's why it's so Great you all get a chance to say goodbye, to Jason tomorrow" Veronica said.
"Not for all of us", Cheryl said, me people quickly followed up with a remark "thats because some of us already got to say goodbye to Jason, while you were rowing him across the river, to his death", Penelope said as she took her plate and walked away.
Thornhill Cheryls bedroom:
I walked around in her room and noticed just how red her room is, everything is red, she is like the red queen or queen of hearts from Alice in wonderland, I sat down on the bed with Cheryl and Veronica as they were looking at old pictures, they were smiling and laughing, they seemed like friends, but come tomorrow an they will be frenemies once again, Veronica looked at Cheryl and sai "I hope this isn't weird, but Jason was crazy handsome", jeepers what is it with the redheads in this town, Ronnie fall for them left, right and center, okay i'm a little jelaous, how would I look like with redhair?, gorgeous I know thinking you for the compliment, hey that was a rude fought you just had, okay i'm gonna keep the curly Brown hair apparently girls like this hair.
"The handsomest, something tells me he would have like you", Cheryl said.
"Why did you invite us tonight Cheryl?, why not just Tia, Tina or Ginger?, aren't they your best friends?" I asked.
Cheryl looked me straight in the eyes and said "and yet, at the night of the peprally, after I had my panic attack, Peter parker you helped me, not Tina, not Tia or Ginger, but you the boy I was so rude to, I guess thats why, and I know you were there to Veronica, but giving Peter the space, because he know my pain, but thank you for trying Veronica, you kinda understand with everything with your father" Cheryl said, she crossed the room from her bed to where I was standing and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Cheryl, you're allowed to say goodbye your brother, but why does it have to be?", Veronica started, Cheryl continued for her "infront of people?", "yeah", Veronica said.
Cheryl got up from the bed and turned towards us "its just, everything with Jason hs been so public, everyone has an opinion, has been gossiping, saying he got what he deserved, or that he didn't, I just want everyone to know that i'm sorry, and Jason deserved a better family than what he got", she said.
"Then do it we'll help you right Peter?", Veronica said, as they turned towards me.
"Yeah, I say let Penelope and Clifford Blossom do their worst", I said.
"Oh but they will, they'll kill me" Cheryl said and gave us a small sad smile.
"They have to get through me first, I'll help you if this is what you wanna do Cheryl", I said as we all put or hand together.
"So, its getting late, I better get home", I said.
"Yeah goodnight Peter", they both said.
I walked through the hallway, where I soon came by an open door, it was Nana Blossoms door, she was sitting in her wheeling chair as she looked in the mirror she turned towards me, "oh my god Richard, it has been so long", what? "Come on in Richard, let me see that handsome face of yours", I walked into the room and went over to her side of the room, "I haven't seen you since you graduated, how is life treating you?"
"Nana, how do you know my father?", I said with tears in my eyes, my father lived in Riverdale?
"Your father?", Nana Rose took her glasses on, "oh i'm sorry Peter, you just reminded me of a young man who used to be friends with Penelope" Nana finished.
"What? my dad and Penelope were friends?", I said.
"Hmm you could say that", she started looking confused all of a sudden and turned to me again "you look so much like Richard".
"I hear that, sorry for intruding, goodby Nana Rose", I said as I exited her room, and went to the front door, I walked into the living room of the house and said "thank you for the dinner and hospitality this evening, I will see you both tomorrow", I said.
"You're welcome Peter, goodnight", Penelope said, she smiled at me but that was a forced smile if I ever seen one before this was it, does she know Richard Parker is my dad?
Thornhill (Nana Rose pov)
"Goodbye Peter Benjamin Parker", I said as a tear slipped from my eyes
