Very AU in which Veronica needs a dance partner for her class and Jughead can secretly dance think Step it Up but platonic only because bughead (oh my god a Bughead Step It Up AU I need it.... should I?)
Edit: oh my god guys this is gonna be a new series I can't write a one shot can I?

Veronica's P.O.V
"Ughhh" I groaned as I looked at the text form my dance partner saying he broke his leg practicing and won't be able to be my partner in the upcoming showcase . It's to late to cancel so the only other alternative is to find a new partner. It's late so noone will be around for me to ask so I made my way to my  house.  I slammed the door shut and my roommate Betty came running out of her room

"V what's wrong?"
"What's wrong is that Nick broke his leg and now I don't have a partner for the showcase, I can't cancel and everyone else might already have partners and it's last minute anyway and..." I started rambling away

"Veronica!" Betty shouted stopping my rambles
"It's gonna be ok you go to a dance school remember? There's bound to be someone there to help you"
"Thanks B you know how important this is, if I win the showcase then talent agents will want to book me for gigs and I can finally live out my dream."

"I know V just relax sit down" she gestured to the couch in the living room "and watch some Netflix with me" I nodded took a deep breath and took off my jacket then sat down and we popped on a movie to watch.

Around 9 my phone started ringing the caller ID said 'Archiekins' I smiled and hit accept
"Hello" I asked
"Hey Ronnie how was your day?"
"Well..." I started I got up and Betty paused the movie as I made my way to my bedroom
"My dance partner broke his leg and I need a replacement, it's too late to cancel but it's also short notice for a new partner too"
"Oh god Veronica I'm so sorry"
"Thanks Archie do you know anyone who can dance?" I asked as a joke

"Actually yeah I do he would kill me if I told you"
"Archie I'm desperate"
"Your not gonna believe me"
"Why have I met them before?"
"Yeah you have actually it's my roommate"
"Jughead??" The broody writer who spends most of his time at the library or at the dinner?
"If it makes you feel better he's a lot less broody then before"
"I don't know Archie"

"Look just hear me out he took lessons as a kid with his sister, he's a bit rusty I admit but your desperate and he's the only shot you have so far I can get you to meet him as early as tonight or tomorrow. " I sighed he was right I am desperate
"There's no point tonight it's better I meet him tomorrow we can have a full day of practice are you sure he's gonna want to do it though?"
"Oh no but he owes me"
"Ok if your sure and thanks Archie this helps a lot"
"No problem I'll talk to him tonight and get him to meet you tomorrow"
"Tell him at school tomorrow at 10am sharp in studio #2"
"I will love you Ronnie"
"You too Archiekins" I hung up and breathed a sigh of relief it may not be what I had in mind but hopefully Jughead shows up tomorrow, I have met him a handful of times at Archie's place but we never really talked. Archie said he was really shy but he'll warm up to me someday. Well that someday needs to be now

Jugheads P.O.V
"Over my dead body" I responded when Archie came into my room and explained that his girlfriend needs a dance partner for some showcase
"Jug please she's desperate and you can dance"

"Ok first off all that was supposed to say a secret so I'm mad at you for that and two why does she need me? Doesn't she go to a dance school?"
"Yeah but she's worried that everyone already has partners or wouldn't want to help because it's too last minute" I sighed and leaned back groaning

"Why did you even recommend me?"
"Because your good Jughead"
"Yeah when I was 5"
"No I'm talking about last week when I saw you dancing in your room"
"That that was nothing I was just dancing to the music"
"It was way more then nothing Jughead"
"I haven't danced competitively in years"
"I told her that she was willing to give you a chance anyway"
"Wow she is desperate"
"So you'll do it? Because your actually a really nice person despite what you make people think?" I sight again
"All right fine"
"YES! Ok she told me to met her at her school at 10am in studio #2"
"It's a Saturday! Who goes to school at 10am on a Saturday!"
"Jughead...Archie started
"Ok fine, fine I'll go"
"Ok thanks bro" he said before leaving what have I done?
Hehehe yeah not what you were expecting don't worry I'm currently writing a new chapter of Look Who's Back In Town... I have the chapter name... please don't kill me *runs from inpatient readers*
