DESPERADO | SWEET PEA [2]

 "Wait, wait, wait," Betty stopped her mother from speaking anymore after hearing her tell the story of how her and Fred Andrews kissed, "So, you and Fred Andrews?"

"Gee, did you get with everyone?" Izzy muttered under her breath, which earned a glare from her mother.

"We were lonely, Izzy. We were young, attractive, in the same room...It was just once, a brief flame between two people that exitsted in that one moment." Alice explained to her daughter.

"But in the Blue and Gold?" Betty questioned in disgust.

"It's not that bad of a place to do that stuff," Izzy spoke up, "Sweet Pea and I hook up in there all the time."

 Betty's eyes widened as she turned to her sister, "Really? Are you kidding me, Izzy!" She complained and Izzy just smirked.

"Hey, as Mom says, at least we're using protection," Izzy lifted her hands up in surrender, causing Betty to groan

"Anyways," Alice said, trying to continue on the story.

Riverdale; early 90s

"We played for weeks. Sneaking into school, late at night, getting deeper than ever." Alice explained, "And we dubbed ourselves, 'The Midnight Club'."

 Late one night, the Midnight Club snuck into school through a window, "We abandoned the board, acting out our quests and adventures in the real world, playing characters."

 In the room where the Drama Club kept all their costumes, the group of friends got dressed. Benny smiled, grabbing Samantha's hand as he pulled her over to her. She smiled as he placed a golden beaded tiara on her head before placing a kiss to her lips.

"Get a room," FP scoffed before lifting up his sword, beginning to fake duel with Fred, who also had a sword in his hand.

 Once the group was dressed, they walked down the hallway together.

"Some of us became a little inseparable than others," Alice commented as FP leaned in to kiss Alice at the same time Fred had kissed Hermione and Benny had kissed Samantha, his arm wrapped around her.

"Wait, wait. Shh." Fred told the group when they heard chatter and laughter coming from a group that wasn't their own, causing them all to stop walking, "What was that? Do you guys hear that?"

 Slowly, FP stepped in front of the group, leading them around the corner, only to come across another group consisting of people familiar to each of them, "Surrender!" FP shouted before everyone realized that they were all familiars.

"Hermione?" Hiram questioned.

"Hiram?" Hermione asked at the same time.

"Sierra?" Tom called out confused.

"Tommy?" Sierra frowned.

 "Are you guys playing G&G, too?" Both groups asked in unison.

 Samantha scoffed loudly, "And here we were thinking we were special." She commented, rolling her eyes.

"As Samantha had said that night, we had thought we were special," Alice informed her daughters in present time.

"Have been for about a week now." Hiram had informed them.

"Darryl Doiley found it in the restricted section of the library." Tom Keller added in.

"Relinquish your Game Master duties," Daryl growled at Penelope as he stepped forward.

"Make me, heathen," Penelope argued, lifting up her weapon.
