The Only Beanie - Book 4 (Riverdale Season 4/5)

Wicked Little Town - Part 4

"This place looks amazing," Sweet Pea smiled as he walked down the stairs into La Bonne Nuit.

"What are you doing here?" Aminity asked with a smile as she gave him a hug. "The show doesn't start for another two hours."

"I came to see if I could help."

"That would actually be great," Veronica spoke up. "Can you take over helping her move lights? I'm gonna go check on the food."

"Sure thing."

"Thanks," she said, stopping as she was about to pass him. "And make sure to listen to her. She's very particular."

"Oh, I know," Sweet Pea smirked, making Aminity playfully hit his arm and Veronica smiled before going upstairs. "So what are we doing?"

"Just finishing moving a few lights, but I got it. Can you go hit the blue button on the light board."

"Sure, Princess." He went over to the lightboard and hit the button. "That what you need?"

"Yep." She went to grab the ladder on the stage, but squealed when Sweet Pea grabbed her waist and put her on his shoulders instead. "Can you hand me the wrench?" He passed it up to her and she moved the last light to where it needed to be. "Alright," she told him and he gently brought her down. "I'll be right back. I need to change." She kissed him on the cheek before grabbing her bag and going to one of the restrooms. She came back a couple minutes later, her jean overalls having been replaced by a tan skirt and a back and white striped shirt that showed off her shoulders. Her hair was down, beanie still on, and she wore a serpent necklace that Toni had given her.

"Wow," he let out.

"Pea," she blushed.

He took her hand in his. "Dance with me."

"There's no music," she laughed.

"We don't need it," he told her before putting his hands on her waist as hers went around his neck, fingers barely brushing each other.

Sweet Pea - Forgive me for I did know. 'Cause I was just a boy and you were so much more than any god could ever plan. More than a woman or a man. And now I understand how much I needed you.

Aminity - And when everything starts breaking down, you take the pieces off the ground and show this wicked town something beautiful and new.

Archie and Betty stared at each other through their windows, seeming to be transported back to sophomore homecoming as they danced together.

Archie - You think that luck has left you there and maybe there's nothing up in the sky but air.

Betty - And there's mythical design. No cosmic lover preassigned.

Archie - There's nothing you can find that cannot be found.

Betty - 'Cause with all the changes we've been through, it seems the stranger's always you. Alone again in some new wicked little town.

Aminity laid her head on Sweet Pea's chest, swaying through the empty room with him.

Sweet Pea - When you've got no other choice, you know you can follow my voice through the dark turns and noise of this wicked little town.

Archie and Betty - Oh, it's a wicked little town.

Aminity - Goodbye wicked.

All - Little town. Sweet Pea looked at her before leaning down and locking her lips with his.

"Ladies and gentlemen, for our final performance of the evening, I am beyond honored to introduce, for the first time ever, The Archies," Cheryl cheered before going to sit down as they took the stage.

Archie - Rain falls hard. Burns dry. A dream or a song? That hits you so hard. It's filling you up and suddenly you're gone. Jughead started hitting the drums as Aminity strummed the first chord on the bass as Sweet Pea had taught her.

Veronica - Breathe, feel, love. Give free. Know in your soul.

Jughead - Like your blood knows the way. From your heart to your brain.

Jughead and Betty - Know that you're whole.

Betty - And you're shining like the brightest star. A transmission on the midnight radio.

Kevin - And you're spinning like a forty five.

Aminity - A ballerina dancing to your rock and roll. She glanced over at Sweet Pea who was sitting in the first row next to Fangs and Toni with a smile.

Archie - Here's to Ronnie.

Veronica - And Archie.

Jughead - And Betty.

Betty - And Jughead.

Veronica and Betty - And Aminipea. Aminity blushed at the ship name while Sweet Pea only let out a small laugh.

Aminity - And Choni.

Kevin - And me! The crowd cheered and stood up.

The Archies - And all the strange rock and rollers. You know you're doing alright.

Girls - So hold on to each other. Betty and Veronica came over to where Aminity played, putting their arms around her. You gotta hold on tonight.

The Archies and the crowd - And you're shining like the brightest star. A transmission on the midnight radio. And you're spinning your new forty fives. For the misfits and the losers. Aminity chuckled as she saw Fangs and Sweet Pea singing with their arms around each other. Sweet Pea held up the rock and roll symbol as he looked at her and she decided to hold it up too between strums. Well, you know your rock and rollers spinning to your rock and roll. Aminity took a breath, nodding at Archie before they played their duets on their instruments, earning cheers from the crowd. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. They all smirked as they saw Mr. Honey come into La Bonne Nuit, watching the teens and their families. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. Aminity looked into the crowd to see FP with his arm around Alice. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. Cheryl and Toni leant into each other, Cheryl kissing Toni's temple. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. She turned to look at the people beside her, her best friends. Lift up your hands.
