Liz was walking towards Jughead's trailer. She needed to talk to her best friend slash brother.
She jumped as one of Ghoulies stopped in front of her.
"Hi, gorgeous."
Liz took a step back.
"I just want go. Please."
He chuckled.
"No can do, sweetheart. You are my toy now."
Suddenly he was pushed back and Liz saw Sweet Pea in front of her.
"Don't go near her."
Liz felt her heart melt at those words. He was protecting her.
Ghoulie looked up at Sweet Pea and didn't want to start a trouble.
"Sorry, man. Didn't know she was with you."
Sweet Pea turned to her and she gasped as she saw his eye.
"Oh my God! Did Archie do that?"
Sweet Pea nodded.
"He did. Has a pretty mean punch."
Liz sighed.
"I'm sorry. He can be so reckless sometimes."
Sweet Pea grinned.
"Are you apologizing for him?"
Liz bit her lip.
"Yes. He might be an idiot but he still is my brother."
Sweet Pea nodded.
"What are you doing here anyway?"
Liz smiled brightly.
"I wanted to see Juggy."
Sweet Pea felt jealousy run through him.
"You two are pretty close."
Liz grinned.
"He is my brother. I grew up with him. Him, Arch and I were inseparable until... Well, Archie and I drifted apart but Juggy... He was always there for me. Even when my own twin brother wasn't."
Sweet Pea smiled.
"Tell you what. I'll take you to Jones under one condition. You let me take you out."
Liz blushed and looked at her feet.
"You want to take me on a date?"
Pea nodded.
"Yeah. What do you say?"
Liz smiled shyly up at him.
"I would love to."
Liz gasped as she saw Jughead talking to Archie. Sweet Pea tried to approach Archie but Liz put her hands on his chest. He looked down at her worried eyes.
"Please."
Archie scoffed.
"Not sleeping with him, ha?"
Liz turned to her brother.
"You don't know anything, Archibald."
Archie flinched. She hasn't called him by his real name in a long time. He was losing her.
Jughead turned to Archie.
"Tell Betty I got the message."
Liz frowned as Archie looked at her.
"Are you coming?"
Liz shook her head.
"I came to see Juggy."
Archie nodded.
"Right. I'll see you at home, Lizzie."
Jughead turned to Pea.
"I'm ready."
Liz looked between them.
"For what?"
Pea looked down at her.
"He is joining the Serpents."
Liz bit her lip.
"And you didn't tell me? I thought we were supposed to tell each other everything, Juggy."
Jughead sighed.
"I don't want you to worry. I'll be fine."
Liz smiled and turned to Pea.
"Can I watch?"
Pea glanced at Toni and Jughead.
"Uh, sure."
Liz smiled brightly.
"Thank you."
Pea nodded.
"Give me your phone."
Liz pulled out her phone and gave it to him.
He put in his number and then called himself.
"I'll let you know everything."
Liz smiled.
"Even about our date?"
Pea glanced at Toni who grinned at him.
"Sure."
Liz turned to Jughead.
"Walk me home?"
Jughead nodded and went inside to take his jacket. Liz hugged Toni and turned to Pea.
"Call me."
She reached out to him, her hands going under his leather jacket and hugging him.
"Bye."
Pea felt his heart beats faster as she pulled away with a smile.
"Bye."
