Hiiii so I'm going to a resort and beach tomorrow so I'm trying to update and write as much as I can. Hope you guys enjoyyy;) Veronica's outfit is up top, just pretend the bag isn't there:)

I woke up bright and early.

I went searching for his present last night and found exactly what I was looking for in an antique shop in town.

I did my morning routine and got dressed.

I'm really excited, hopefully he likes it, it's better then his old one.

I know he needs a new one.

Betty told me about it or more like complained, but either way I'm glad she told me.

I grab all my belongings and head down to my car; once I drive off I put the address on my phone and follow the GPS. It took me a few streets down to a cute looking antique shop, not the one I imagined. It was baby blue and light. I imagined something darker and rustic. When I entered the bell rang, the old lady at the front looked up and smiled warmly.

I returned it and walked to the counter.

"Hi I'm Veronica, we spoke over the phone?" I ask.

"Oh yes you're here for the type writer! It's just in the back, I'll get it for you" she walks towards a door on the other side of the counter. I wait a bit, until she comes out with the type writer on the cart; it's really nice, almost looks new.

"Are you a writer?" She asks.

"No it's a present for a friend, he's a writer" I smile.

"Wow you're one good friend" she says, making me laugh.

"I would like to think so" I shake my head a bit.

"Ok the total would be $500" she smiles.

"On the website it's listed for $1000" I look confused.

"I'm giving it to you for a discount" she smiles once more.

"No it's ok, I would like to pay full price" I hand her $1100.

The shop was pretty empty and I figured this would be my good deed for the day.

"This is a bit too much" she says, trying to hand me $100 back.

"No keep the change, I insist" I push it back towards her.

"You're amazing dear have an amazing day" she smiles brightly.

"You too" I return it.

I put the type writer in the back seat securely and drive home. When I get there I bring it upstairs to put in a cute box.

Once I finish decorating the box a bit I called Jughead to see where he is.

Phone conversation-

Jughead- Hey Veronica, what's up?

Veronica- Hey, where are you right now?

Jughead- At pop's, oh Betty and Archie just walked in.

Veronica- Ok I'll see you there.

End of conversation...

I hung up and grabbed the box, then I asked Smithers to drop me off at Pop's.

He does and I bring it inside.

I quickly spot Archie, Jug, and Betty sitting at our normal booth. My arms are quite tired from lugging this thing around, so I quickly make my way over and sit down.
