Monday's lunch

Present day :

  when monday morning came carter decided she was going to befriend Veronica Lodge. So at Lunch on Monday Carter spotted the five sitting together on the bleachers and made her way towards them. When she stepped up to them she caught the tail end of their conversation  

  Betty : "oh hey C.C." Betty said with a smile.  

   Carter : "you five, mind if I sit?" They all made faces of confusion but nodded to her anyway before she moved up the bleachers to sit beside Veronica and behind Betty. She looked around to each of them with a sweet smile on her face before continuing. "So as you probably already know the first cabin qualifying party is this weekend, and we don't normally do this but I wanted to extend a personal invitation to you five."  

Kevin :" Really? " Kevin asked, eyes wide.

Carter turned him and smirked. "Do I need a reason?" She asked.

Kevin : "No, just curious." He smiled.

Carter : well , B and V are river vixens, Archie is a varsity Bulldog, and I don't think Jughead gets invited to enough parties. As for you, I heard from James who heard it from Mason who heard it from Cheryl who heard it from Moose that he was really hoping you were going to be there this weekend." Carter smiled at a thrilled look Kevin before continuing. "Anyway, reasoning aside, I expect to see each and every one of you at that party on Saturday but right now I have to work on some routines for cheer." Carter stood quickly and began retreating down the bleacher. She was only a few steps away she stopped and turned back around to Betty. "Oh and Betty, that's a super cute sweater. It totally suits you, but for Saturday maybe you should think about wearing something," She paused for a moment in thought. "Red."

Betty : " but red is an APC color." Betty said with a shocked expression."

Carter :"No Betty, red is a power color. There is a shade for everyone. But if you're uncomfortable it's fine, it was just a suggestion. Anyway, I best be off; kisses to all." And with that she turned her back and stepped off the bleachers.

When Carter wasshe was out of sight Veronica addressed her friends.

Veronica :  "Okay first off, what in the world is a 'cabin qualifying party'?" She questioned

Archie : "It's a party that to see if you qualify for the cabin party." Archie said, as if it was simple thing but it did very little to answer Veronica's question

Veronica : Okay..  so what's a Cabin party?"

Kevin : "Every year the APCs host 4 parties at the APC family cabin on place choosen by them , my favorite party always the Petersons , carter was hosting them in The Lake House" Kevin explain in only slightly more detail.  

Archie : "There used to be 3 of the, back when they were the homes of the founders but in the early 1900's the APCs of the time renovated and made it all one cabin, and with every generation of APCs that come along it gets renovated and changed to be modern for the times. My dad worked on the renovation made this time around, he said it's pretty lit." Archie laughed remembering how excited his dad had been to commission such a large project

Kevin : "Not that anyone came made it inside but that's beside the point. There are 4 cabin parties a year, one during winter break, one at the beginning of summer, one at the end of summer and an ultra exclusive one over spring break. They are the social events of the year." Kevin said, stressing the magnitude of the event  

Archie : "They host 3 qualifying parties at the beginning of the year. The first is the A party. Held at the Alcott's in September, open to all." Archie started.

Betty : "Then in October they hold the B party, hosted by the Blossoms. It's email invite and only about half of the people from the first party get invited to the second. But after Jason's dead in october wasn't any Cabin party hosted by the blossoms" Betty continued.

Kevin: "Finally the last party hosted by the Petersons ,  The Party is held, it's verbal invite only and there is a password. If it's found out that you got the password without an invite you aren't invited to a single party for a full calendar year along with whoever gave you the password." Kevin finished his eyes full of excitement.

Kevin : "Luckily me and Betty made it ONLY to Carter'sparty she always gave us the password"

Betty : "Then one day all the members of the families go door to door hand delivering invitations to the chosen ones. If you're chosen you are automatically invited to the 3 main cabin parties." Betty explained, her voice giving way to her own excitement  

Veronica : "what about the forth party how do you know you've been 'chosen' for that?" Veronica asked, thrilled to hear of something to do in this town other than strip clubs and gay bars.

Archie : "We don't know anyone that's ever been chosen. Not even Reggie's gotten into one of those and heused to be close with Jason." Archie said turning his focus back to the plays in his hand

Jughead : "The spring break party is just a myth." Jughead insisted, taking a bite of his lunch.

Kevin : "It may be a myth but that doesn't make it not true."

Betty : "It's not a myth." Betty said with a small smile.

 Jughead : "How do you even know that?" Jughead turned to Betty with a questioning expression.   

Kevin : Because Betty's mom was invited to a spring break cabin party back when she was in school. Carter's father invited her" Kevin answered quickly before Betty even had a chance to open her mouth

Veronica : "How do you know that?" Veronica asked in shock. She had only met Mrs. Cooper a few times but she hardly seemed like a party goer, much less an elite party.

Betty : "Polly and I read it in one of my mom's old journals from like the 11th grade. We found it in the attic a few summers ago." Betty smiled, a guilty blush rising to her cheeks.

Kevin : So they  do exist!" Keven exclaimed in Jughead's direction.

Veronica : "So, are we thinking of going to this 'cabin qualifying party'?" Veronica asked hopefully.

"Yes." Kevin, Archie, and Betty stated simultaneously.

Jughead gave up he rolled his to sides

Jughead : "Okay you go we're coming!"
