14. sisters of quiet mercy

"oh mom i forgot to mention i invited veronica over for breakfast." andrew said as jessica nodded in response

"oh and jughead is coming over too." madison said

"wish you'd give me a heads up." jessica said with a chuckle

"sorry mom." the twins replied

madison went up to her room and got dressed

and went back downstairs to see jughead and veronica were already arrived

"good morning." raymond said walking in pouring himself some coffee

"guys i have something to say." andrew said as he got everyone's attention

"veronica and i are dating." andrew said grabbing her hand as they smiled at each other

"well i'm glad to see you've chosen a lovely young lady." jessica said

"i agree with your mother." raymond said with a smile

"thank you mrs. and mr. montgomery." veronica said smiling

"oh please call us raymond and jessica you too jughead." raymond said as both veronica and jughead smiled

"i always knew this would happen." madison said

"please be happy for us maddie." veronica said

"i am ronnie, i'm very happy for you two." madison said with a smile

once they got to school, andrew and veronica went to talk outside

"i don't mean to be that cliché girl but i feel like we're moving too fast drew." veronica said

"i'm so glad to hear you say that, i was thinking the same thing." andrew said

"can we just agree to let everything go with the flow?" veronica asked him as he placed his hands on her face

"of course ronnie." andrew replied as veronica leaned in and pecked his lips

madison, betty and jughead were looking up the place polly was

"sisters of quiet mercy." betty read

"is that a church?" madison questioned as jughead typed it in

"no, it's a home for troubled youths." he said clicking on their website

"where disenfranchised teens will learn such virtues as discipline and respect enjoying lives of quiet reflection and servitude." jughead read

"that's where polly is." betty said quietly

madison noticed betty seemed upset so she put her hand on her shoulder and gave her a small smile

-

"it's been months, there's got to be a reason my mom and dad don't want me to see her." betty said to jughead

"but you know what i don't care." she said

"what are you guys talking about? anything I can help with?" archie asked

"hey i'll help too." andrew said

"what we're attempting, a stealth operation guys. if we go in there with the entire scooby gang, forget it, we're compromised." jughead explained

"plus don't you have to practice for the variety show?" betty said

"uh, no, I don't." archie said

"except that yes. you do. thanks to a certain veronica-ex-machina. excuse me." veronica said as sitting down next to andrew

madison also went over and sat next to jughead and kevin sat next to betty

"what do you mean?" valerie asked

"oh nothing just that we had a talk with the host and made him remember that he's heard you sing on many occasions." madison said

"even though it compromises my artistic integrity?" kevin said

"cutting to the chase, you have a slot, if you want it." veronica finished taking a sip of her coffee

"guys, thank you, but you saw what happened." archie said

earlier archie had went on stage to audition but he froze up

"we all did." kevin said

madison looked over at jughead who looked at his bag of chips and then to the table

madison nodded and smiled and he passed her some of his chips

"playing my songs in front of you guys is one thing but getting back up on that stage by myself? i'm not sure if i'm ready for that." archie admitted

"If it's a partner you're looking for, madison montgomery is more than willing and able." veronica said

"so what do you say red?" madison asked as archie smiled and nodded
