Retro night troubles

Veronica's pov
I start walking to school and I see my dad in his morning run. "Veronica, your always leaving before breakfast and coming back after me and you mother have already eaten." He says stoping by me. "You've made it clear that you don't want me in on your secrets, so why should I stick around and talk to you and mom when all guys do is lie." I snap. "Come on I can't even remember the last time we had a family dinner together." He says. "I do, it was at the Dakota the night you got arrested." I say back. "And we can talk about that at dinner." He reply's Fastley. "Unfortunately I have plans. To quote that New Yorker cartoon how about never. Is never good for you Dad?" I say walking off. I walk to school and at first I don't see Archie, Betty, or even jughead before I go to to class. I don't see B until second hour. I walk into the class and sit next to her. "I didn't see you this morning B." I say putting my books down. "You we're running late and I had to leave to go to class early." She says. "Your such a nerd." I laugh. "Am not." She protest. "Are too." I reply. "I am." She says laughing a little bit. "Aw B, I'm sorry." I say hugging her. "Girls social hour is over enough talking and listen." A teacher yells at us. We go through classes till the school. I come outside to see Betty jughead and Archie all sitting at the table. "Hey guys." I say sitting next to Archie. "Hey" He says gloomy. "What's wrong?" I ask him. He looks at me and shakes his head. I put my hand on his shoulder and rub his shoulder. "The town is loosing profit." Betty says. "Probably what happened to me and my dad." Archie says. "What if we have a fundraiser or something." I suggest. "V, that's a great idea. We could have a fundraiser at pops and have it retro themed." Betty says excited. "I don't want this town to crumble just yet." She explains. "And Hey I'll help. I will do anything to get away from my parents." I tell her. "Well I got to go see my dad at the sheriff station." Jughead says. "I'll come with you, I need to talk to sheriff about me and my dads case." Archie says. "Talk to me later." I say before giving him s quick kiss. "Will do." He says. Jughead before he goes he turns around and looks at us. "Another V and B tag team. Somebody should like make a video game about you two." He says then walks away. We look at each other and laugh. I look down at my phone and don't say anything. "What's wrong V?" She asks me. "There are certain that no one does better than Veronica lodge; make overs, party planning, dance offs, dropping vintage bon mots as they were bonbons." I say making Betty chuckle a little. "Conversely there are things that I'm not good at; grief, bedside vigils, comforting boyfriends." I say. "Ok well that's the old Veronica talking." She tells me. "Old Veronica would have bolted by now, but new Veronica doesn't want to let Archie down." I say. "And you won't" She says. "He's been shutting me out more and more. I don't know how to comfort him." I tell her. "Just be there for him, talk to him." She tells me. "Thanks b." I smile.

Archie pov
When I get home from the sheriffs office it was late and my dad had already went to bed. So I went and grabbed the wooden crate and my bad and sat in the corner.

Like always it was a very long slow tiring night, but I still have to go to school so I get in the shower before my dad gets up.

Veronica's pov
I get a really early call from Betty, but I was awake so I answered. "Hey B." I say. "So I've noticed that Archie has not been sleeping in his room. It's been empty, and quite, and to be honest quiet clean." She tells me. "Ok thanks B, I'll go and talk to him before school." I say getting ready for a good bye. "Bye V." She says. "Bye B." I tell her back. I hang up and leave my apartment.
I walk up on Archie's porch at knock. The door opens and I see a shirtless confused Archie.

Archie's pov
I open the door to see Veronica standing there. I knew it was her, because she's not tall enough to see through the window of the door. I put my shirt in the other hand.

"So you haven't been sleeping in your bed, so exactly where have you been spending your nights." She asks me. "Do you wanna walk and talk about it?" I ask her. "Yes, once you put on shirt." She says as she laughs a little.

After I grab a few things we walk. "So Betty?" I ask her, because she could be the only one to know sense she can see through my window. I sounds creepy, but it's really not. "Yes Betty." She tells me. "Ronnie this guy has my dads wallet he knows where I live, what if he comes back and finishs the job? So I've been staying awake and night and waiting by the door." I tell her. "Can I make a suggestion." She asks as she stopes walking. "Please anything." I turn towards her. "When I was in New York I went and saw a Therapist once a week." As soon as she said that I rolled my eyes. "And I'm not saying to go see a therapist, but maybe the school counselor." She suggests. "Just please think about." She a tells me. I nod and we continue to walk.

The teacher starts talking and right away principal weatherbee comes in. "I have some terrible news. A former teacher Ms.Grundy has been murdered. As soon as he says that my heart just drops. I gather the stuff of my desk and start to leave. "Mr.Andrews where are you going?" He asks me sternly. I look back and I see everyone staring at me. I look back a little and see an concerned Veronica. I look back at the direction I'm walking and just continue to leave the class room.

Veronica's pov
I decided to leave Archie alone for the rest of the night, because I think what he needs is space after today he learned that his "ex-girlfriend" that he was forced to break up with was murdered probably by the same person that shoot his dad and him. I show up to pops in the uniform Betty had given me and all the vixens, I still do not know how she got Cheryl to let her use the vixens. "Here you go V." Betty says handing me roller skates. "No no no, Veronica Lodge does not do roller skates, but I'll still serve." I tell her. Betty laughs and rolls her eyes and walks away. I look at the door way and see Archie standing there staring at the ground. "Hey there daddy-o." I say making him look up. "Hay." He says quietly. I walk up to him and slide my arms around his neck He then wraps his arms around my waist. "You made it." I say happily. "You feeling ok?" I ask sliding my arms down his. "Yeah, Just taking deep breaths." He explains. "I'm proud of you." I tell him. I move my hand onto the back of his neck and head and kiss him. I then here music start playing from outside. "Let's go listen to the pussy cats." I say grabbing his hand. We walk out side and stand next to Betty and jughead. I wrap my arms around Archie and he puts his arm around me. They start singing milkshake. I mouth along the words as me and Archie rock back and forth. He looks down at me and smiles then kisses me.

Once I finish severing everybody when I see my parents. I walk up to them as they sit down at the booth. "So maybe since the town is getting a new start then maybe we can get one too." I tell them. "We would like that a lot." My mom answers. As I walk away I smile and go sit next to Archie. "Ronnie do you want me to go meet your dad?" He asks me. I look at him like he's crazy. "You've slayed enough dragons for today. Next time Archiekins." I tell him.

Archie's pov
After retro night I go and meet dilton at the bridge. He hands me a big bag. I reach inside it and there's a gun.
"Thank you this is exactly what I needed." And then finally I was able to get a good nights rest.
