"So what're we eating?" Veronica asks coming out of the bathroom.

"Anything, everything," Jughead replies.

"How about we order room service? I don't want to leave," Veronica says.

"Okay I'll order food, you guys decide on a movie," Betty says getting up.

Veronica jump over jughead and reclaims her spot on the center of the bed.

"You couldn't go around?" Jughead asks.

"Nope, what're we watching?" V asks.

"I don't want to argue with you so I don't care."

"Great we are watching beauty and the beast... It's kinda like yours and Betty's situation. You'll like it."

Jughead scoffs, "So I became handsome after she kissed me?"

"Hmm maybe it's not like yours and Betty's situation," Veronica said.

"Oh so I was always handsome?"

"The opposite, actually," V said winking.

"I ordered chicken and waffles...what's funny?" Betty asked walking in noticing the amused look on their faces.

"Nothing, Veronica said I'm handsome," Jughead said.

"No I didn't. I told him he reminded me of the beast in Beauty and the beast."

"...and he becomes handsome right?"

Veronica grabs a pillow and chucks it at Jughead's head.

"You know what I meant!"

"Okay guys stop. You are handsome," Betty says to jughead, "and you don't think so," she says to V.

All of them got comfortable again and continued to watch the movie when Veronica remembered something.

"I'll be back," she said running out door.

"So you guys are friends now?" Betty asked jughead after Veronica left.

"I wouldn't say friends, after all I am a weirdo, but I never really talked to her before, we just argued. So acquaintances?"

"Hm makes sense. She really is great."

"I suppose."

Jughead and Betty finished the whole movie and Veronica still wasn't back.

"I wonder what she remembered..." Betty said.

There was a knock at the door and Jughead got up and answered it. It was the food the ordered an hour ago.

"About time, thanks," jughead said.

He was just about to close the door when V slipped through.

"Guys look what I found."

"What's that V?" Betty asked.

"Okay so, I went back to the shop where Cassidy worked and I asked the old man if I could check security footage of the night Cassidy was killed. Of course he said no so I bribed him with whatever money I had left and my necklace."

They both stared at her neck and it was indeed gone.

"So I checked the footage and they had a meeting in the shop. The little group that came to our house had a little meet up and they were talking about their plan to rob us," she continued.

"Okay?" Betty asked.

"I think we should turn this into the police..." she said.

"Why?" Betty asked.

"So the case can be ruled as self defense."

"Why? So your dad doesn't fall? Turning this in as self defense implies that Archie did do it," Jughead said completely annoyed with V once again.

"No, Jughead, listen I know it sounds bad but at this point I just want Archie out of jail. We have no leads either... I need a minute," Veronica said tearing up as she walked out the door once again.

"Jughead, that was a bit much don't you think?"

"No I don't. You blamed her for something that she didn't even do, and once I say something she cries?"

"She's crying because she misses Archie."

"Uh, I'll be back," Jughead said walking out the door.
