"Where is he?!" Betty asked walking to the Serpents with Archie.
"Where's Jug?" Blake looked back at the bushes and interlocked fingers with Sweet Pea.
Toni put her arm behind Cheryl and she did the same.
FP walked out carrying Jughead in his arms. Blake gasped softly as she saw his body.
"Oh my god..." Toni whispered. Betty looked in shock and softly cried.
******
Blake stirred her drink and put her hand on her head and sighed.
"Don't be so down." Sweet Pea whispered.
"Jughead was dead when we found him. Now he's alive and clinging to life. I won't let him be like Fangs."
Toni walked up to the two and sat down with them.
"Jughead woke up." She started. The two looked up. "He's okay."
Blake sighed softly and sipped her drink. She continued to stir it and she put her head down on the table.
"Something wrong?"
"I'm nervous."
"About what?"
"My stitches." Blake said lifting her head. "Betty's taking me so don't even ask. You two need to worry about these homeless Serpents." Blake said climbing out of her chair.
"Love you Blake."
"Love you too."
******
"You nervous?" Betty asked sitting next to Blake.
"Kind of.. I'm just stressed."
"I am too..."
"I'm sorry about your dad Bets."
"Me too.."
"Blake Keller." The doctor said. "Good luck." Betty said smiling. Blake got up and walked with the doctor.
******
Blake walked out with the doctor and Betty stood up.
"Don't forget-" "To wrap it every night." Her and the doctor said in unison. Blake smiled. "I know. Thanks." The doctor smiled and walked away. Blake winched in pain.
"Holy frick that was a bitch." Betty laughed and wrapped and an arm around her for support. "Seriously it hurts a lot." Blake said laughing in pain.
Betty helped her in the car and sat in the driver seat. "Ready for school? Archie's got some big plan to keep the Serpents in Riverdale High."
"Yeah.."
*******
Blake wore a Serpent jacket. Along with everyone else in the school. Sweet Pea has his arm wrapped around her as they waited for Weatherbee to come out of his office.
"What is the meaning of this?" He asked.
"This is a show of support. For our South Side students that are going to be wrongly transferred out of our school. And everyone here is ready to walk out."
"Who ever walks out, better keep walking cause they'll be expelled."
"You're not someone who discriminates. And if you are. Then expel me. Because I don't want to be a part of that." Blake smiled at Archie. She was proud of him for standing up for the Serpents.
"Get to class... all of you." Weatherbee finally said. Blake smiled and looked up at Sweet Pea. He smiled and kissed her.
"That jacket looks good on you." Toni told Cheryl.
"Everything looks good on me."
"Then maybe we should make it official." Toni turned to Blake.
"You too Princess." Blake scoffed and laughed and walked away with Sweet Pea, Cheryl, and Toni.
******
Toni, Cheryl, and Blake stood in the middle of the crowd. "Alright! Let's get started!" FP shouted. "Some 60 years ago, the very first Serpent meeting was held here. And it's fitting... because... because it's where I say my good byes. But hey.. Jughead come up here real quick." Jughead looked around and went up.
"My boy. Has never stopped fighting for this crew. So I'm giving you the mantle." Jughead looked at his father in shock. "So as your first duty as Serpent King.. you know what to do."
Toni walked up to Jughead and gave him two Serpent jackets. One black and one red. Toni stood up with Jughead holding the red one. "Cheryl... Blake."
"Shall we?" Blake said looking at Cheryl.
"I was born for this moment." Cheryl said smiling. Cheryl took off her jacket and Blake walked up to Jughead. She turned around and Jughead helped her out her jacket one. Toni did the same for Cheryl. Blake and Cheryl hugged each other and turned to the crowd.
Blake looked at Fangs and Sweet Pea and she smiled. He shared the smile and drank from his cup. Blake and Cheryl linked arms and smiled at each other.
Blake and Cheryl walked off and Blake walked to her boyfriend.
"God I love you." Sweet Pea whispered. Blake laughed softly and hugged him. The two pulled away and kissed. "Alright you two I'm still here." Fangs said patting Sweet Pea's back.
Blake laughed. "How are you?"
"Good how about you?"
"Well I didn't bleed out in my sleep yet." Fangs and Sweet Pea laughed and the three hugged.
