The world was a plain black and white landscape until you met your soulmate. When your soulmate died, the world went back to black and white. This fact was harsh, but something that was taught from birth. It was a crazy universe, but hey, it was home.

Betty didn't even realize how drawn she was to pink until she could finally see color... until she met Jughead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Betty I'll be fine," Jughead insisted.

She fretted, "Are you sure? I don't want anything to happen to you Juggy..."

"The Serpents know me," he comforted, "They'll understand that I want to leave. If anything, my dad'll advocate for me."

"Please don't go."

"I love you Juliet. Don't worry. Just go out with Veronica. She specializes in retail therapy."

"Okay. I love you too Juggy."

*TIME SKIP: TWO HOURS*

Veronica shambled over to the bench Betty sat on, arms full to the brim with clothing.

"Can I open my eyes yet?" Betty giggled.

"Not yet!" she said firmly, "I still want to pick out some denim for you!"

"Fine but hurry up!"

Finally, she returned. She was barely visible behind the piles of designer dresses.

Betty went into the fitting room. She emerged wearing a gorgeous satin dress.

"Wow, I really love this one!" she exclaimed, "It's such a pretty silver!"

Veronica's features twisted in confusion. "Are you high? That's pink! I thought pink was your favorite."

"What?"

"That's a pink dress hon, not silver."

Betty met her eyes, realizing that her caramel skin was a grey shadow of its former self. The fluorescent sale signs were suddenly a terrifying shade of charcoal. The attendant's dirty blonde hair appeared near white.

"Oh my god," she whispered.

She practically flew into the fitting room again. She snatched her phone and dialed Jughead. It rang for a while before finally being picked up by none other than F.P. Jones.

"Betty," he panted, "Listen, Jughead can't talk right now..." A familiar scream sounded in the background. "He's busy."

"Is he ok?"

His silence spoke volumes.

Beads of sweat ran down her face. "Forsythe, is Jughead ok?"

Again, Jughead's garbled screech was heard. The audio became choppy and distorted, as if the phone was being wrestled away.

"Betty!" Jughead yelled. She was relieved to hear him.

"Juggy where are you!"

"Juliet I love y-"

The world went black and white.
