day 5 prompt Role reversal (this one got away from me)
Angst with a happy ending?
Basically Archie and Betty switch roles!
Drag Race with Yours Truly
Jughead was getting ready for the fight of his life. Trying to be like his dad. The Serpent King.
Sunnyside Trailer park was on his shoulders. He had to defend his home, his fellow Serpent’s homes. His dad suggested a drag race. He was suspecting the cops might try to intervene. He didn't care though because he's been to Juvie before.
If he did this, they'd also stop dealing drugs in the North Side Betty would be protected from Jingle Jangle and the Ghoulies.
Jughead was waiting for Archie who going to be the passenger.
When she swayed up smelling like strawberries and chocolates, he couldn't look at her. He was so livid. He appreciated her getting him Reggie's car; he thanked her for working on it.
Yet, he was not going to talk to her. She hurt him. She had Archie break up with him. For what? He had no clue.
"Jughead," she brushed his cheek and headed for the passenger seat.
Oh hell, no he thought to himself. This isn't happening.
"Betty, you are not getting in this car!" folding his arms as he said it and put on his best brooding face.
Jughead needed to win this race, and looking at her made his anger boil. Maybe he could win it on that alone.
she smiled the smile that used to melt him, "Oh Jughead, but I am, so either get in and drive or lose it's your choice."
Malachi gave him a wink and a wicked grin, "Lover's spat Jones?"
"Oh Malachi, you are going to lose, and I'm going to love shoving that in your face"
Jughead begins to laugh and holds his stomach from laughing so hard " Ghoulies sounds like an 80's horror movie."
He looks at Malachi and adds, " plus, you look like you are trying to be a mix of Alice Cooper groupies or hoping to be apart of the Hangmen's from 'The Crow'" as Jughead slammed his car door. Getting in the front seat, Jughead had the last word against Malachi.
"Betty, get out! I'll just do it alone."
"No, Jughead, I left you alone long enough."
He pretended her smell didn't remind him of the last time they made-out. He pretended she had to be a ghost.
He laughed he manically started to laugh...
when he saw Cheryl with the flag. Crap he had to go, he had to do this for the Southside Serpents, his big mouth got him into this.
Jug felt her hand as he shifted gears. He heard her whisper, "You got this, Jug."
So he breathed, 'Betty, betty who.' as he took off.
When she said, "I should have never had Archie Break up with you. "
Don't look at her, Jughead thought.
" I should have told you what was going on, and I'm beyond sorry. Once you win, I'll let you know everything, and if you don't take me back, I understand. "
Jughead Snarled, he knew he had to win this. Focus on the race Jones. When he heard her say...
" I LOVE YOU, Jughead Jones."
Next thing he knew, he was at the finish line. Malachi's car was at least 3 mins behind.
Jughead went faster! Jughead had won!
He looked at Betty, "We did it! "
she nodded, "We always work best when we are together, don't you think, Juggie?"
They get out of the car to see an exciting Reggie running over to the car.
"I'm still hurt Betts, but I'm willing to talk about it."
"That's all I ask."
Reggie yells, "Hell ya, my Baby one!"
Betty and Jughead look at each other nothing had changed with Reggie.
he shakes Archie's hand, "It's alright, man!"
Archie runs up to him, "sorry man, she made me."
he hands Betty his motorcycle helmet and says, "Ready to go Betts?"
