TWO || THE SERPENT POOL PARTY TAKES A DARK TURN

For once, the weather was perfect in Riverdale. Cheryl had decided it was the perfect time for an end of summer pool party for the Serpents and Bulldogs alike, and Fallon was not passing up seeing Sweet Pea in swim trunks.

The four Serpents who had returned were invited as well, and Fallon knew Dixie would be doing the absolute most with her outfit.

"Ya know," Fallon said as she tied her bikini top, "This is my first time in a swimsuit since the little one was born. Now everybody gets to see my dope stretch marks that I got growing a human." Sweet Pea laughed, pulling on a cut off flannel. "You know that they make you even more beautiful to me, right?"

Fallon blushed, walking over to him and snuggling her face into his chest. "I love you, so much." She felt him kiss the top of her head, smiling against her hair. "I love you too, Blue Eyes. Now, let's go have some fun."

They stopped by FP's trailer on the way to Thornhill, the former King having agreed to watch Forsythia. "Now, you be good for Grandpa, okay, tiny? Mommy and daddy love you lots." Fallon said, watching as Sweet Pea leaned into her car seat to place a kiss on her forehead. The baby gurgled and gave her father a toothless grin.

"I promise we won't have too much fun." FP chuckled as Sweet Pea and Fallon left, his laughter following them out to Fallon's car. She started the Hellcat's engine with a growl, the beautiful car revving to life.

"How do you think this thing escaped Riot Night unscathed anyway?" She wondered aloud, and Sweet Pea smirked. "You have one Dray Sanchez to thank for that. He wanted to keep your car safe because it was the last real thing of yours besides your jacket and your bike that we had when we thought....well, you know. He busted into your trailer and got the keys, drove it out of Sunnyside and hid it at the Quarry until the Riot was over."

"Jesus," Fallon said as she pulled onto the road to Thornhill, "Remind me to sing his praises at the next meeting."

It was a little weird, seeing so many happy people in front of the hulking, charred remains of the Blossom mansion, but Fallon was excited to drink for the first time in months. They were met with loud greetings and some cheers, Fallon smiling wider than she had in awhile.

"Fal!" She heard a voice call, and saw none other than Betty Cooper waving at her from a pool chair. "Blondie!" Fallon smiled, leading Sweet Pea over to her and dumping their stuff on the chair next to hers. "You know, you look fantastic for having a kid three months ago." Betty laughed, Fallon rolling her eyes. "Thanks, B."

As Fallon sprawled out on the pool chair, she pulled Sweet Pea down to her level. "You know what would be so nice right now?" She asked, and he grinned. "I know exactly what you mean. I'll be right back." He placed a kiss on her nose, walking off in search of alcohol.

"You know, I don't quite understand how you two can be so stupid in love in spite of having an infant, being in high school, and living in a tent. You're more functional than adults with 20 year marriages." Betty said, a smile on her face. Fallon laughed, watching Sweet Pea from across the pool.

"Honestly, I think Forsythia made us come closer together, because she really nailed him down and made him start thinking like more of an adult instead of a hormonal high school boy. Not to mention he almost lost me and her in the same night, so that obviously put things into perspective. One thing I know for sure is that no matter what, we will always be ready to fucking die for each other if it comes down to it." She replied, and Betty sighed.

"Jesus. Can I get a relationship goals?"

Jughead and Sweet Pea walked up to them at the same time, each one carrying two drinks. "Fancy seeing you here." Jug said, handing Betty a mai tai with a pink umbrella in it.
