The next day, Mila had gone to school with regular clothes, jeans, a tee shirt, normal. She felt a tap on her shoulder and she looked up seeing Jughead. "Hey." She smiled.
"Hey, you look nice..."
"Thank you." She smiled, "I haven't seen you wear something like this in a while." She laughed.
"Same, you look so... pre- Southside high." He joked, she laughed shaking her head. Sure there was tension, but it was nothing they couldn't deal with. They walked towards the Lounge making small talk until her eyes went wide.
"Holy shit... we're gone for a day and it's like invasion of the body snatchers." She gaped walking towards her friends, Sweet Pea and Toni were dressed in a uniform that had never been a thing before.
"Weatherbee gave them to us." Toni sighed walking forward. "Said he understood that not every Southside student had the means for 'school appropriate clothing' He thinks it'll help us fit in."
"Where's Fogarty?" Jughead asked looking around.
"He wouldn't wear the uniform, so they got rid of him, suspended him." Sweet Pea explained.
"So basically we're being forced to change. How fun." Mila said sarcastically, nodding her head unamused.
"Yep." Toni said shaking her head. Jughead looked to Mila astonished But Jughead had a plan.

The next day, even Mila and Jughead were in the uniforms. Jughead stood in front of the empty classroom filled with a few of the Serpents in it. "Welcome to the inaugural meeting of the Swords and Serpents club."
"Which is what?" Toni asked from the top of a desk beside Mila.
"Like i told Fogarty to get him back here, we are a gaming group. Sanctioned by Weatherbee himself. Where like-minded students can meet and concoct world building, role playing scenarios, inhabiting heroes and dispatching mythological creatures." Jughead explained.
"Okay, but really, what is this place?" Mila asked, leaning forward with a smile on her face.
"It's a club, for us. A safe haven where we can be us, during school and without anyone judging." Jughead said with a soft smile. "We're not shedding our skins, we're lying low in the tall grass."
"I kinda like the sound of that." Sweet Pea nodded, Mila nodded along smiling at what was being accomplished.
