NOW OR NEVER

•/SEVEN/•

Aviana, Betty and Veronica sat in a booth at Pops. With Aviana helping Veronica with Pops and the speakeasy, she had been busy not seeing her family or friends which she didn't mind.

We are in trouble B. I'm up to my eyebrows in bills. Pops is hemreging money,"

"How far along is the speakeasy? Is it close at least?"Asked Betty.

Veronica and Aviana glanced at one another, "The speak easy is ready," said Aviana
"It has been for a while," spoke Veronica looking down at the papers.

"What why haven't you guys opened it!" Asked Betty.
"I've been waiting for Archie. I just I wanted him to be there. Dancing with me on opening night. Apart of it all.

"This is exactly what Archie didn't want,"
"That's what I said," replied Aviana.

"For you to just put your life on life hold V. You need to focus on your self for a change. I'm saying this to you, to both of you as you friend, open the damn speak easy," smiled Betty.

~~
The Speakeasy was finally ready to be opened.
Veronica and Aviana waited for Josie and Kevin to arrive.

"OMG," The two squealed down the staircase taking everything in.

"That's the reaction I was hoping for," laughed Aviana.

"Welcome to La Bonne Nuit," smiled Veronica

"So I've hired some Serpents from the whyte worm to serve drinks," Aviana looked over to Veronica
"Mock tails only. La Bonne Nuit is not in the business for corrupting minors," said Veronica.

Not yet," smiled Reggie

"Josie, I need star power. I would love for you to be my resident singer,"

"Are you for real?"

Veronica nodded.

"I have been working like woah trying to find my sound now that I'm solo and I haven't had anywhere to test it out , this is the perfect opportunity," smiled Josie

"Kevin," spoke Aviana " We'd love for you to be our MC,"

"As long as I can sing every now and then,"

"Of course,"

The Phone rang, Reggie picked it up.
"Yeah Pop what's up?"
"It's Penny Peabody,"

Aviana and Veronica dashed upstairs wanting to know what that bitch was doing here.

"Penny Peabody, I don't think we've had the pleasure unlike Aviana here,"

"What do you want bitch," growled Aviana "stepping on the north side will get you killed,"

"It's not what I want it's what you want. Protection. The ghoulies are offering their services for a modest price," Penny offered

"Let me guess protection from you? I've got that covered," growled Aviana again.

"It's nice place you've got her Veronica. Is Aviana helping out? She'll ruin it like she ruins everything else. It must be lovely it speakeasy, I'd hate for something bad to happen to it food for though. I'll let you two chew on it," said Penny leaving the diner.

"I wanna rip that bitchs head off,"
"We can solve this Avi it's okay," said Veronica calming the Jones girl.

~~
In school, Aviana stopped her two favourite people.
Sweet Pea, Fangs, I want to invite you to Veronica's Speakeasy. La Bonne Nuit"

The two Serpent boys sat pondering,
"I don't know, what the dress code," said Fangs
"I don't go to stuff like this," said Sweet Pea

"Dress code. Um Veronica used a different word but I'll just use fancy," she laughed " please come, it would mean the world to me," Aviana gave them her own Puppy dog eyes.
