JOSIE ENDS UP inviting Prudence Night to the club with her. Prudence and her have been friends for years, and had a fling last summer. However, they broke it off at the end of the summer, because it was only meant to last for a little while. And while it was magical, it had to end since Prudence stayed in Greendale and Josie went back to Riverdale.

But Josie made Prudence promise that she wouldn't use her powers. Prudence cursed Josie out before agreeing that she won't use her powers all night. She even wore one of Josie's extra power dampening bracelets to show she meant it.

So now, Josie is on the dance floor at a club called Loft. Veronica, Josie McCoy, Kevin, and Reggie are already there once the Scratch girl and Prudence arrive, holding hands. Upbeat music fills the room, loud enough to make the floor vibrate and the room reeks of alcohol. But strangely enough, Josie feels like she fits in perfectly here. It's good to just pretend to be normal even though she's anything but.

A waiter walks by with a tray of shots, and Josie picks two up. She hands one to Prudence before they throw their heads back, downing them with ease. Josie smirks at the witch before she drags Prudence onto the dance floor. They weave their way through the crowd until they reach Josie's friends, and once they do, Veronica finds herself unable to keep her eyes off of Josie. The Scratch girl is wearing a very short black dress, and her hair is curled, falling in tendrils around her shoulders.

Prudence notices, and leans down so that she can whisper in Josie's ear. "Is that her?"

"Mhm," Josie nods before motioning to the group. She has to yell so that they can hear her over the music. "Guys, this is my friend, Prudence."

Kevin mutters a hello, Josie McCoy gives the girl a three fingered wave, and Reggie basically rapes Prudence with his eyes. Veronica, on the other hand, ignores Prudence and moves so that she's dancing with Reggie. Prudence shrugs before her and Josie start dancing a few feet away from them. Prudence and Josie bounce to the music, their bodies moving perfectly in sync as if they'd choreographed it.

And when Prudence glances over her shoulder, she realizes that Veronica is staring at them from where her and Reggie are basically groping each other.

"Wanna make your mundie friend jealous?" Prudence asks, clearly already enjoying this. She loves to party, and she loves drama even more. Before Josie can answer, Prudence leans forward and presses her lips to hers. Josie knows those lips so well that she instinctively reacts, weaving her fingers into the other witch's dark hair. After a moment, she opens her eyes and sees that Veronica is now kissing Reggie, but her eyes are open. Both girls make eye contact, but they're both surprised when neither look away. In fact, they can't seem to peel their eyes off of each other, despite the fact that they're both kissing different people.
