AJ was sitting in the corner booth at Pop's diner with Jughead. He was telling her about his time with Dilton Doiley, and how he was sure he was lying about not hearing the gunshot on July 4Th. AJ nodded her head at her brother, but she was barely paying attention.
"Are you even listening?" Jughead finally asked, kicking his sister in the shin from under the table.
"Hm?" AJ asked glancing up from her phone, "Yeah, yeah. I hear you."
"What are you doing?" Jughead asked, curious as to what has caught his sister's attention.
"Oh, uh, Veronica and Chuck," she said vaguely, going back to her phone when it dinged, letting her know that she received a new text.
Veronica: Thank you for your help today, but have you seen what people are saying on the post?
AJ: I've seen. We need to do something about it. There has to be other girls he's done this to that are willing to come forward.
"Since when are you friends with Veronica?"
"We're not really friends. I'm just helping her out." AJ leaned against the window, stretching her legs out across the booth.

The next day, AJ meets with Betty in the student lounge. They came up with the plan to find other girls that had the same experience with Chuck. Several girls were willing to step up and speak about it. After filling Veronica in, they made a plan to get back at Chuck once and for all. Starting with the playbook the football players had in the boy's locker room.
"Reggie," AJ said, walking up to him in the hallway after the meeting with the girls. "What do you know about this playbook?"
"What are you talking about?" Reggie obviously knew about the playbook. All the boys on the football team knew about the book, not all of them agreed with it, but they wouldn't speak their minds about it.
"Don't play dumb, Reginald," AJ snapped, crossing her arms over her chest. "Do you have anything to do with it? Is that why you've been so nice to me lately? So you can put me down as one of your little conquests."
"What? AJ, no!" Reggie said, stepping forward to put his hand on her arm. "I wouldn't do that."
"You better not be lying to me, Reggie." AJ pushed his hand off of her, taking a couple of steps away, "You don't want to get on my bad side," she warned, not fully believing him. Without hearing his reply, she turned around and made her way down the hallway and out of the school.

"Color me impressed," Cheryl's voice rang through the dark hallway of the school, causing four of the five students to jump in fear. AJ snicker at the others in her group, turning to face Cheryl. "What would your holly roller mother say about this, Betty?"
