*set in season 1*
Alice is walking towards Betty's room when she sees her daughter dancing around in a preppy blue cheer outfit.
"What is that?" Alices asks rage dripping from her words and startling her daughter.
"I made the cheer leading squad!" Betty says smiling from ear to ear.
"Cheryl Blossoms cheer squad? After what Jason did to Polly?!" Alice asked already knowing the answer.
"Yeah mom. And I'm also going dress shopping with Veronica Lodge who is a really nice person. And guess what I'm also going to the homecoming with Archie, who may have red hair but is nothing like Jason."
"You think girls like Veronica and Cheryl, like girls like us? You think their gonna be your friends? Their not." Alice says.
"I don't care mom. I'm done being the perfect daughter, the perfect student. So for once I'm doing this for me. So excuse me but I'm meeting my friend." Betty says bumping Alices shoulder on the way out of her room.
Alice can feel the tears coming up as the memories comeback.

"Ohh look who's turn it is? Miss Southside Slut." Hermione says to Alice as she and Penelope run cheer tryouts.
"I can already tell you Alice, you won't be making it. We don't like to promote drug addicts and white on this team. Sorry." Penelope says laughing with Hermione.
Alice holds in her tears as she runs out the gym. And as soon as she hears the loud slam of the metal door she starts to cry as she is searching for Fp.
She bursts into the locker room to see just him inside. Fp turns around quickly to see Alice braking down.
"Al what happened?" He asked.
"I- I had try outs and they called me a whore and-" She is stopped when Fp pulls her into a tight hug.
"I'm so sorry Al. They don't deserve you." He says kissing the top of her head.
"I just- their so mean." She says sobbing into his shoulder breaking his heart. Alice is the sweetest girl he knows and she would never hurt anyone. It breaks his heart even more knowing that she was so excited for this too.
"Just promise me one thing?" She asks looking up into his eyes.
"Yeah?"
"When you get onto the football team, don't become friends with any of them. Please?" She begs.
"Of course." He says pulling her into a kiss.
"And don't forget me when you become Mr Popular." She says half joking.
"I could never, you're my girl."

After Alice and Betty's fight, Alice went to a place that was once a second home.
She walked into the bar in her right baby blue dress and pearls. She noticed the wandering eyes but couldn't careless. Alice sat down in the corner of the bar drinking her sorrows away until that oh so familiar voice ran in her ears.
"Hey Alice What are you doing here?" Fp asks standing beside her.
"Just came to get a drink." She asks trying to hide the crack in her voice from crying.
