Veronica POV
"Where are you going?" Jughead asked me. "Did you not hear about Archie's surprise for Betty?" I asked him. "He's finally proposing?" He sarcastically asked. "No." I said rushing off to powder my face. "Oh that surprise that he's planning in like two hours." He exclaimed. "Yes." I rolled my eyes. "Are you moving out or moving in?" Jughead raised his eyebrows at my bags. "They're for our girls night." I beamed. "Don't get too dolled up." He winked. "I won't see ya." I said giving him a quick kiss. I called Betty. "Hey girl!" I exclaimed whilst sitting in the limo.
"Hey." She groaned
"Woah are you ok?"
"No."
"Why? Are you not excited to meet Archie?"
"No it's not-wait how do you know?"
"He wouldn't shut up about it." I scoffed
"Oh really."
"Yeah girl."
"Where are you?"
"Pulling up."
"That was quick?"
"Well nothing gets in between Veronica Lodge and a make over!" We both laughed.
I pulled up outside Elm's street and tapped on her bright red door. "Hey." She sighed rubbing her eyes. "It's 5pm how are you sleeping?!" I exclaimed. "Because V there are things called naps?" She stretched. "Well get your ass to the shower!" I clapped my hands together. "Polly can I borrow one of your dresses." She yelled as she dragged her feet up the stairs. "Oh no I already styled your hair and makeup." I smiled. "Ugh don't dress me up too much." She rolled her eyes. As she went up the stairs my phone began to vibrate. "Hello?"
"Veronica its a crime to wear the same dress twice!" Cheryl yelled.
"Cheryl it's Archie's orders not mine how do you think I feel about wearing the same dress?!" I answered.
"Can I at least change my hairstyle or my makeup?"
"No we have to keep EVERYTHING the same."
"That's a fashion crime!"
"Cheryl."
"Ugh fine." She hung up. Wow I wonder how he managed to convince someone like Cheryl.
Archie POV
"How much an hour?!" Josie exclaimed. "3,000 dollars for the whole show split it three ways." I said. "And where are you gonna get that money from red?" Valerie asked. "I own a gym Val and I'm a professional fighter I think I can throw in a 3,000 dollar gig." I raised my eyebrow. "Great so same songs same outfits same hairstyles same makeup?" Mal asked. "Yes it has to be the same!" I yelled. "Archie man do you want it on the left or the right?" Jughead yelled from the top of the ladder. "The left it has to be the same!" I yelled. "Why the hell are the balloons red they were pink last time so make them pink! Why is the confetti gold it was silver so make it silver..oh my god John you had one job!" I shouted popping the red balloons. "Cool it Andrews!" Toni yelled from the other ladder.
Jughead POV
"The only thing that should change tonight is Jughead dancing with Veronica!" Archie shouted when he walked in. "Nobody take the centre of the gymnasium!" He shouted. "So can I not dance with Cheryl?" Toni asked. "No because Cheryl has a speech onstage and she won't have anytime to dance!" He explained. "So what do I do?" Toni asked. "Lights!" I gave her the controller. "It goes blue then red then pink and confetti!" He instructed. "How do you even remember that?" Cheryl yelled. "Just do what I say." He ordered. A bit too demanding which made us all laugh. Even Archie managed to smile.
Betty POV
"Veronica I'm out!" I yelled putting on my crocs. "So what's next for girls night?" I asked her. "Does it involve Netflix, popcorn, facial and Pjs?" I continued hopefully. "No,no,yes and most definitely not." She said coming in with a very familiar dress. "You wore that..what seemed like ages ago." I said taken aback. "Yes well it was the only thing I could find for my ballroom date with Jughead." She sighed. "Jughead and ballroom, tight dress and hair out?" I caught on. "Ok enough about me do you know what you are going to wear on your dinner date with Archie?" She squealed. "No but-." She cut me off. "Fabulous because I have just the outfit, slip this on while I transform you." She said giving me a blindfold. "Um why?" I asked. "Because I want you to be surprised!" She beamed. I sat blindfolded whilst she curled my hair and told me to shut my eyes whilst doing my eye makeup. She dressed me in an oddly familiar dress. "Surprise!" She said undoing my blindfold. "Um Veronica I look exactly the same as two years ago." I winced. "This dress screams dinner date!" She smiled. "It also screams rejection." I added. "What will Archie think if I show up in this dress?" I moaned. "He will wish he never rejected you." Veronica smiled adjusting the hem. "Too soon." I said clutching my neck. "Bring that cute white cardigan with it!" She smiled. "Ugh." I sighed. "Isn't this too fancy for Pop's?" I continued. "You aren't going to Pop's your going to Monet's." Veronica tapped my nose. "Even worse." I gagged. Veronica rolled her eyes. "Archie's ready we have to meet him in the gymnasium." Veronica smiled at her phone.
Archie POV
"Jughead where is your beanie, Cheryl I can see you, leave your hair out and it was on the left side and don't try change your lip colour, Toni blue lights, vixens and bulldogs spread around and leave the middle of the dance floor for us!" I yelled. "Andrews you owe me!" Cheryl yelled. "Where is the punch?" I panicked. "Right here red." Josie said pouring it into the bowl. "Betty just texted me she's coming soon!" Toni yelled. "Quick!" Archie said standing on his position.
Betty POV
"What's the point of doing my eye make up of your going to put a blindfold?" I said clutching the wall. "Girl patience." Veronica whispered. She opened the door and I heard rubber soles coming towards me and grabbing my arm. It was Archie. "What is all this?" I asked him smiling. "You'll see." He winked. "I'm gonna go get some punch..you got this!" Veronica whispered. I remembered that line from somewhere.We both watched Josie and the pussy cats perform live. It was exactly the same songs. Until. "Would you like to dance?" Archie asked me offering his hand. "Sure." I said adjusting his tie. Whilst we slow danced I nibbled my bottom lip nervously. "Betty..the reason I planned all this is because that night I rejected you was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made so I know it doesn't change anything but I wanted to do like a redo of that night." He admitted. My heart melted. I saw his soft brown eyes being highlighted by the blue lights. "You did all this for me?" I smiled. He nodded. "Well in that case..I was thinking now that I'm on the river vixens and your on the football team we could be a power couple..or even just a couple." I repeated as I had done once upon a time. "I would like that." He smiled. Then only then he pressed his lips on mine. It sent shivers up my spine but I kissed him back. My stomach was flipping all around. I was giddy with excitement. I could feel cheers around us whilst everyone swayed to the music. I rested my head on Archie's broad shoulders and felt his hands on my waist as we both moved to the music. All those wounds were healed even stronger this time.
