"Wow V.. you weren't kidding." Betty said as she looked at the Lodge's shadow lake house. "Told you." Veronica said smiling.
"I already hate this." Sweet Pea whispered to his girlfriend. "Relax. They're harmless."
"Welcome to what I humbly call Lodge Lodge." Veronica said proudly.

"Top or bottom?" Blake asked.
"I don't care.." Sweet Pea said unpacking her own bag.
"Don't be mad, you agreed to this."
"You made me agree to this."
"You still said yes from your mouth." Blake said putting her clothes in the top drawer.
"Come on." Blake said opening the door. Sweet Pea sighed and walked out with her.
Betty and everyone was outside talking. "What's wrong..?" Blake asked opening the door slowly. "Nothing Blake." Jughead said with a salty tone. "Go back inside." Blake crossed her arms and turned on her heels. "Well?"
"Something happened. They won't say what."
"Great now we can talk about what happened between you and Tallboy."
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Well if I agreed to this, then we are talking about it." "Fine. Tallboy doesn't want me to help the Serpents anymore."
"You've helped us for months."
"I know. Apparently Tallboy doesn't think the Serpents need my help." Jughead opened the door and Blake looked at him. "What happened?" Blake asked.
"Nothing.." Blake sighed and watched her four friends go to their rooms. "We shouldn't have come." Sweet Pea whispered. "Shut up! You are going to enjoy yourself."

"So Veronica." Jughead started as the gang drank Veronica's margaritas. "What's up with this place. As we drove up here, I noticed none off of the houses had numbers."
"Shadow Lake is a very... small community." Veronica explained dodging his questions.
"Like they're hiding something?" Jughead asked sipping from his drink. Betty grabbed his thigh. "Jug."
"I told you something is going on between Bughead." Veronica whispered. "They're all hiding something." Blake whispered. "No kidding." Sweet Pea whispered.
"Alright, clearly something happened to Bughead when Cheryl dropped a bombshell on us."
"Bombshell?" Blake asked putting her drink on the table. "Enough secrets. Explain. All four of you." "Archie and Betty kissed." Jughead said grabbing his drink. "Jug." Betty whispered shaking her head.
"Enough fighting. I have an idea. First step; clothes off, swim suits on." Veronica said smiling.

Veronica got in the hot tub next to Archie. "Alright, to ease this Bughead / Varchie explosion, I think Jughead and I... should kiss." Blake and Sweet Pea softly laughed. "What?" Archie and Betty said in unison.
"Oh best thing all weekend." Blake commented. "I don't think that's a good idea." Betty said. "Yeah Ronnie."
"Hey now, now. Not a bad idea." Jughead said going to the middle with Veronica. Blake smiled to herself at this pointless bickering. "What's the sports term Arch? Level the playing field?" Blake laughed softly with Sweet Pea. "Will you two stop laughing?" Betty said softly.
