It's the calm before the storm.The summer before your junior year of high school.

And how do you spend it?

Working some Brutal summer job that's makes you look forward to going back to school or maybe a internship that doesn't pay much or even having a rebound from a relationship with the same guy?

Or maybe you spent it at sweet water river swimming pool, you, your best friends and your sister you'll ever have or maybe you spent most of  June, July, August in a court room supporting our pal Archie Andrews who on trial for a murder he didn't commit despite the DAs closing Arguments.

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. The evidence and testimony that was presented in this court tell a dark story that Mr Andrews has a history of violent behaviour that he started not one but two ass vigilant groups, that he assaulted an innocent boy with two broken legs, that he went wilding in the south side of Riverdale and threatening to shoot a young man in the face, that will partying with his friends in the town of shadow lake Mr Andrews ran into the woods and shot the victim Cassidy Bullock point blank in the head. Now mister Andrews claims that it was his girlfriends, fathers doorman that shot Mr Bullock, a shot that Mr Andrews claims to have heard but not seen. Who knows the truth of what happened that terrible night in the woods near shadow lake. I'll tell you who," this trial had Aviana constant in her head, she squeezed Sweet Peas hand who sat next to her.

"That man, Archie Andrews maybe a varsity athlete and a sensitive musician but he is also a cold blooded killer." The blonde lawyer spoke, sitting back down in her seat.

Mrs Andrews, stood up next, "Ladies and Gentlemen, we know for a fact that Archie Andrews constantly puts the needs of others ahead of his own we know that he helped solve the murder of Jason Blossom, we know that he offered both friends and enemies shelter when they had no one else, we know that he punched through a River of ice to save the life of his classmate Cheryl Blossom. Well let me remind you, that there was no witnesses to the actual killing, there was no murder weapon, there was no motive at the end of the day all the prosecution has is cloudy testimony from unreliable people. Now it is my Solum duty as a mother to protect my son but as a attorney it's my duty to adhere to the facts, to the evidence. There is nothing here, that proves that Archie Andrews is anything less than an innocent boy.Thank you," she sat back down as Archie whispered in her ear.

Thank you," she sat back down as Archie whispered in her ear

"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. The charge is first degree murder, you may retire to begin your deliberations," the judge slammed his hammer.

The group left the court room while the Jury decided.

The group, Archie, Veronica, Betty, Jughead and Aviana all met on the stair case.

"Archie, there you are," said Veronica as they walked up the stairs to Archie.

"How you holding up bud?" Asked Jughead
"Yeah good,Jug"

"What were you just thinking about Archie? How your going to walk out of this courthouse a free man," spoke Aviana smiling at the ginger boy across from her.

"No, there was this place, we've never been before Ronnie, but Aviana, Betty, Jug you remember Sweet Water swimming hole?"

The three smiled, "We went there every summer,"

"I was just thinking about that place earlier," said Jughead
"Me too," spoke Betty and Aviana.

"What made us stop going?" Asked Betty.
"Ugh probably when you and Avi got covered in leeches," laughed Jughead

"Oh yeah," laugh Aviana.
"Was that us or was that a movie,"
"That was definitely us," said Jughead, Archie and Avi.

"Oh"

"I'd like to go," said Veronica "hopefully you can take me Archie,"

"Hopefully,"

Kevin Keller, ran up the stairs, "guys to time,"

They were back into the court room.

"The Jury is still deliberating. But I've dismissed them.They've been quested and I've instructed them not to say anything about this case nor to discuss it with anyone,"

Veronica looked around to The twins and Betty giving them a confused look.

"We will reconvene this Tuesday morning, after Labour day. My advice to you young man is to spend this weekend with your family and loved ones. That's all."

Aviana left the courtroom behind Archie while walking with Sweet Pea.

When they stopped in their tracks, as Fred Andrews swung his fist at Hiram Lodge.

At Pops, the five sat in a booth, the girls one side and the boys the other.
"If only we could find the gun that Andre used to kill Cassidy," said Betty

"I've torn the Pembrooke apart, after the riots my father wiped any and all traces of Andre," spoke Veronica

"Well he wouldn't have brought in back from Shadow lake we here he probably ditched it,"  said Jughead

"So what we go back to Shadow Woods, we've looked," said Betty looking down at her milkshake,"

"Well lets look again with metal detectors this time," spoke Aviana.
"If we get Andres gun, we can plant it," said Veronica.

"No. I don't want to do that and spend what could be my last weekend looking for evidence that isn't there,"
