|He's Being Framed|

'People like to say that the death of Jason Blossom changed everything at Riverdale High. But certain things, certain traditions, never change. Take homecoming for instance. Though Jason's jersey has been retired, the Riverdale Bulldogs would still be playing their arch rivals, the Baxter High Ravens, with the River Vixens cheering them on. As in previous years, graduates from days of Riverdale past will come to town to relive their more youthful, more carefree days. Or, to make up for lost time.'

"My mom and dad would freak if they knew we were in here." Cheryl spoke as she brushed her hand across a desk.

Cheryl and Polly were in the Blossom's quarters, they were looking for some vintage jewellery to were to homecoming.

"So let's take our sweet time." Aria smirked as she was leaning against the doorway, "Let me help."

"Well of course, Aria." Cheryl replied.

Polly walked around the room and asked, "How many wigs does your father have?"

"One for every mood. Legend has it that Clifford's hair turned white overnight. Supposedly, he saw the ghost of Grandpappy Blossom with his throat slit. Now, me, I love a silver fox but we Blossoms live and die by our red curls. My father tried dying it once but," Cheryl stopped in her tracks.

"But what?" Polly asked, her and Aria walked up the Cheryl, intrigued.

"What is that? What did you find?" Aria said.

"My nana's ring." Cheryl's voice shook.

"Which she gave to Jason." He, proposed to me with that ring. So, how does your mother have it?"

Cheryl was speechless but as Polly tried to reach for it Cheryl quickly spoke, "Hands off, Gollum."

"Cheryl, the only way mom could of had that ring is if she or Clifford got it from Jason. And he wouldn't of given it up, not over his dead body." Aria said.

Polly tried to reach for it again but Cheryl grabbed her hand, "Polly. Your carrying precious cargo, but if you think for one second those babies guarantee your safety, you're in for a rude awakening."

"Get off of her." Aria ordered.

Cheryl let go of her hand, Polly and Aria left the room together.

"What did you give her?" Aria asked glowering at Penelope and Clifford.

Polly was passed out on her bed and Aria stood with Cheryl.

"Polly was so agitated. I gave her an all natural relaxer, nothing to hurt the babies, but she will sleep like a lamb till morning."

Aria sighed knowing there was nothing she could do, "Was that story true? About how you got the ring back?"

"Every word of it. You know your brother rejected us. Our way of life, our business, everything. And after I had groomed him to take over the empire. When really I should of been nurturing the both of you. Because Jason never had the stomach for any of it, but you. Both of you are Blossoms, through and through." Clifford said.
