Riverdale

Third Person POV

By the way, Jellybean's age will be different for the sake of the plot 😉

"Betty, you didn't have to walk with me." Jug said, grasping his girlfriend's hand.

"Your dad said he had big news. Plus, if it's bad, I want to be there for you."

They walked to Sunnyside Trailer Park, the Jones' home for years. Jughead led Betty up the stairs and put the key in the lock to the front door. FP stood in the middle of the trailer.

"Dad? You said it was urgent, what is it?"

"It's about Jellybean."

"What is it?"

"She wants back home."

"She does?"

"I do, Jug."

Jughead spun around, to see his pride and joy, Jellybean behind him. Tears welt up in the sibling's eyes, finally ending the tension with his little sister landing on top of him.

"Jug!"

"I thought I wasn't gonna see you again." She brushed her brother's unruly wavy hair out of his eyes.

"Nice jacket."

"Nice beanie."

"C'mere JB." FP said, holding his arms out for his daughter.

"I think I like my actual name more, Joey, Dad."

Betty held out her hand to Joey.

"Betty Cooper, I'm-"

"Jughead's girlfriend. I'm aware."

"And you're as charming as ever. I have to ask, where as your wit gone?" Jughead smirked and pulled his little sister in, wanting to hold onto her and never let go.

"Play nice Juggie, besides, my wit is in my humor, which I undoubtedly get from you, Father."

FP smiled and motioned to the door. "I should get going, I've got to tell the other Serpents down at the Wyrm that our good snake charmer is back." Giving JB a noogie on the way out.

"Thanks, Dad."

FP's POV

"I got some news for you all, and it's quite the shocker."

"C'mon FP, let it slip, you've been shaking for 20 minutes."

"Joey, is back. And she's in with the snake charming business again."

"So what's in it for us?" Tall Boy said, looking rather smug at what he had just dubbed.

"Why don't you pipe down for once and maybe listen to one of us at least instead of being an ass and taking shit from Hiram Lodge, Gerald." 

"You'd use my name?"

"Hell yeah I would. You don't run the Serpents, nor do you have authority over me or my boy, jackass. So quit your bitching."

"Dad?"

Joey and Jughead stood next to each other, jackets on and helmets in hand.

"You were saying, Tall Boy? Or do you wanna stay quiet before I take my switchblade out and rally the younger Serpents."

I walked over to them, regretting that I had let her back into this life. "Jug, why don't you take J to Pop's to catch up and get to know Betty."

Jug understood what I was getting at, and led her by the shoulder. She shuddered at me and flashed her arm.

A tattoo.

With an 'S' that had two snake heads at each end.
