Moms In Leather Aprons

Serpent Twins

There is only so much a parent can do or can know about their child. To keep up with your son or daughter's life gets harder as they grow up, now relying on their closest friends instead of the people who raised them. After a few years back when the Blossom-Topaz twins complained about lack of attention from their moms, the two women decided to step up their parenting game. For Jason it was enough, for Victoria it may have done the opposite. Little Jamie was doing well the way she was being taught, she is turning out to be quite independent and emotionally detached but she still finds comforts on her mommies' bed during bad storms.

The twins had now started high school. They were great siblings to Jamie, taking care of her when Cheryl had to go on business trips with Veronica for their clothing line, or when Toni had to stay out late for ''Serpent business'', a world that was becoming more and more true to them, especially when they went to high school as sophomores and some recognizable Serpent teen faces were there, waiting to welcome the son and daughter of the Serpent Queen. Victoria fit right into the atmosphere that was the younger Serpents. Jason, going through a hard time finding who he truly was, sticked with them just for safety. The truth is that the Southside Serpents kept their bad reputation. From an inside perspective they were a very close family, willing to do anything to protect their own; from an outsider's perspective, it was a dangerous gang who persuaded children to do the dirty jobs. In reality, no one was pushed to join, and with Jughead as Serpent King, teens were usually declined unless they were in some kind of danger, or homeless. The requirements to join had changed quite a bit, only the trusted could get in. No more of that stupid sexist dance, just boys punching boys and girls punching girls, to be honest, no one knew which one was worse.

Something about this reality really fascinated Victoria. She followed her momma's steps in high school, being super popular, beautiful, feared. She didn't quite have a reason to need to be feared, but that sense of power just gave her life. Reaching as high as her moms gave her life. Now, to fully follow the same steps as both of the women, there was one last thing to do.

''Hey Jay-Jay, what are you up to?'' Victoria walks out of the house towards the garden where her twin brother is sitting on the grass, reading a book, while Jamie was kicking a soccer ball near-by.

''Just reading something for school. Momma asked me to have an eye on Jamie while playing outside, because she is making dinner. Do you need something?'' The redheaded boy questions, his sister dropping down, sitting next to him.

''Actually. I was going to ask you about something a bit touchy. I don't know you will react, but I want you to keep your mind open.'' Victoria holds her sibling's hands.

''You are scaring me Vicky, just say it.'' Jason widened his eyes a bit.

''I want to become a Serpent. And I want you to do it at the same time as I''. The girl spits her wishes out fast enough that it was hard to understand.

''You want to what now?'' Jason eyebrows rose as his mouth dropped. ''Vicky has much as I want to support you in everything that you do, I don't think that moms want us to actually join the Serpents.''

''But they did! Mommy did it when she was like, super young! And momma joined when she was around our age so why can't we?'' Victoria shrugged.

''Because! They said we couldn't! Moms think it is dangerous and they won't allow us to do it.'' Jason explained.

''Then we don't tell them! We do it behind their backs! We'll ask uncle SweetPea to help us and not tell moms about it.'' Victoria suggested with pleading eyes, the ones Jason couldn't resist.

''Fine! Okay!'' the boy finally agreed and Victoria hugged him as a thank you.

After talking to SweetPea, who agreed to help them, claiming he was rebellious too when he was their age, he took care of getting Hot Dog, or ''The Beast'' for them to take care of. It would be dangerous to do it at Thistle House so the doggy would stay at SweetPea's house and the twins had to leave extra early before school so they could walk the dog. The next part of becoming a Serpent was the most challenging, at least for Jason. The other female members didn't hurt Victoria too much, since she was the Serpent Princess, even if unofficially, so no one dared to punch her hard enough to leave any actual damage on her pretty face. Jason, however, had it a lot tougher. Besides bruised ribs, a black eye was all he got out of that experience. Luckily Vicky was quite skilled with make up so nor Cheryl or Toni got suspicious.

The next phase of the initiation was where it all went wrong. Supposedly, one of the bosses of the Serpents were the ones to make the newbies recite the laws. At the moment that was Toni, who didn't know any of this was happening, and Jughead, and if he knew, their moms would know too. When Sweets contacted Jughead because of ''some newbies'' initiation, he agreed to drop at the Wyrm quick for that, but when he saw that who was waiting was no other than Victoria Blossom-Topaz, he instantly called Toni and Cheryl and soon enough they were storming inside the bar, the redheaded mom in the front, her hair bouncing up and down, her eyes narrowed, her face stiff from anger. When the couple basically broke into the crowd, everyone fell silence. Especially with a loud throat clearing from Cheryl.

''Victoria Rose Blossom-Topaz what the hell do you think you are doing?'' She annoyedly asked. It wasn't really the fact that she saw one of her precious princesses getting into the Serpent business that was bothering, it was bound to happen anyways, it was the fact that she did it behind her back.

''Mommy please call down!'' Jason quickly stepped in, protecting his sister.

''You are in on this too Jason? Why? What are you doing!'' For some reason Cheryl's eyes were teary. Like she had been betrayed.

''We just.. We wanted to be part of your world! We are already Serpents by blood, why does wearing a jacket have to make a difference!'' Victoria tried to justify herself, yet still hiding behind her brother, who was taller than her.

''Victoria we knew you guys would want to join eventually. But why did you do it behind our backs! We have always taught you two to tell us everything that is going on, and we have never judged you!'' Toni was sharing the same emotions as Cheryl.

''Well you always made sure to let us know how dangerous it is to be a Serpent. We didn't think you would support us. We really just want you both proud. We look up to you so much!'' Jason worked everything our, knowing his way around words.

Cheryl was touched by the thought of her older children looking up to her. She looked down at little Jamie who was tightly wrapped around Toni's arms, absorbing everything that was happening. At least she still had one little human being to protect. She looked at her partner who was already looking at her. Toni's eyes told her everything she needed to know, what the next move would be.

''Alright. We will discuss this at home, don't think you are getting away with lying so easily. But until then, I believe we have two initiations to finish. And I think mom would be more than happy to yell at both of you right now. So Toni, will you do the honours?'' Toni nodded and transferred Jamie from her arms to Cheryl's. She started with Victoria, who stood her ground screaming the laws back at her, and retrieving the knife, scaring the snake away with loud screaming. Jason might have cried a little bit, especially when the snake bit him. His rather flamboyant ways coming through strong.

At the end of the day the two teenagers got their Serpent jackets, wearing them proudly along with their parents. At home they ended up in cleaning duty for the rest of the month which was a pain in the butt, but at least Cheryl and Toni were forgiving enough to let them join on the Serpent reunions and such.

Little did they know, this event would lead one of their kids on the wrong path.
