'Gryphons and Gargoyles. Serpents and Ghoulies. Riverdale was a veritable jungle of mythological creatures, species jockeying for power, and at the dark heart of it all.. is Gladys Jones.'

You and Jug sleep cuddled up on the couch. "Wakey wakey!" Gladys yells waking you up. Jughead wakes up shortly after. Gladys puts a plate of bacon and eggs down. "Thanks, Gladys." You say sitting up. F.p walks out. "Mornin' puddin'. How'd you sleep?" You ask. He wears his sheriff uniform. "Good." He states stretching. "Ugh, my arm hurts." You say massaging it. "You sleep on it wrong?" Gladys asks. "There's no right way to sleep on a couch." You say as jughead moves your hand and massages your arm and sits up. "Do you want you bed back?" She asks. "No, JB sleeps peacefully in that." You state as you kiss jug on the cheek. He smiles. Jellybean storms out. "I need coffee." She says rubbing her eyes. "You let her drink coffee?" F.p asks. Jelly bean looks at him with half angry half confused eyes. "Okay, it's fine by me, help yourself. I gotta get to work." F.p states pointing to the cabinet with the mugs. Jughead opens his mouth and you put some bacon in.

"It's the weirdest thing, guys. My mom is usually pushing the farm into my face, but now she's shutting me out. Like she's washed he hands of me. Which is even more terrifying." Betty says walking beside you and Jug down the stairs. "Yeah, they are definitely up to some serious shadiness, like they're entrenching." You state. "I was trying to dig up some dirt online on the farm, and i couldn't even find a photo of Edgar Evernever. Not even one. That's weird." Betty says. "If you really want to protect your mother, maybe it's worthwhile just to embrace this whole baptism thing. Or at least pretend to embrace it. It may help you keep tabs on her. Make sure she's safe." Jughead replies. She nods. "Come on guys, let's go." You say walking to the class the serpents meet in. "Where the hell is everyone else!" You ask. "Oh we're down another eight." Sweet pea states. "Another eight?" Jughead asks. "All girls." Fangs states. "Where are they all going?" Betty asks. "Toni and Cheryl started their own gang. All the girls are probably defecting to it. They're called the Pretty Poisons." You state. Jughead leans on the table and sighs. "What do you want us to do, Mrs. And Mr. boss?" Fangs asks. "Nothing. This is all because I banished Cheryl and Toni. I just need to talk to Toni, get her into the serpent fold, and the rest will come back too. They need to be reminded wat it means to be a serpent. I'll make this right. Y/n can you help?" Jughead asks. "Jug, I love you, but no. You banished fangs, Cheryl, and Toni. Your idea, your mess. Meanwhile after school I am boxing with Mr. Keller and Archie." You state. "Boxing?" Sweet pea asks. "Yup. It'll get my anger out." You state.

"One, one, two." Tom says. You punch his hands. On them are some sort of cover. "Y/n?" Archie asks walking in. "Hey, red! Ready to box me?" You say with a smile as you take your glove off. "Why are you boxing?" He asks. "Same as you. Blow off some steam. I've been training with Tom for a few weeks now. I'll get the punching bag you can punch Tom's hand." You say sipping water. Archie gets in the ring where Tom is and punches. You punch the bag. "Keep your hand up, right?" Keller asks Archie. "First thing you'll learn when boxing someone, red. Is that if you let that hand down there hand is coming for your head." You state punching the bag. Keller takes his cover off. "And you have a nasty habit of telegraphing your punches. You do that with an experienced fighter, like me or   y/n, in the ring, and he'll see you coming from a mile away." He says putting the cover on a chair. "With all do respect, Mr. Keller, those guys at L&L sure as hell didn't. Get me a fight, a real fight, with someone that's training with you here, I can show you." Archie says as you ease drop. "Archie, you've got great speed alright, and you've got some power, but you've got no technique. You have to learn that. And until you do, don't even think about your first fight." Keller demands. "How long are we talking about?" Archie asks. "Archie, your not ready." He states. "How are meant to know that I you won't put me in the ring? I need to know if boxing is going to be a viable option for me." Archie says. "Trust me. Boxing is not something you want to do half-assed. When y/n came here, it took her maybe a week to get her first fight. Good workout, hit the showers." Keller says walking away. Archie looks at you. "What?" You ask.
