I appeared at Toni's doorstep and knocked. She opened it as she pulled her jacket on. "Ev? What are you doing here?" She asked. "Well, I transferred schools, not by choice, and I thought I'd walk with you" I said lying. "Okay, sure." She said smiling.

She turned grabbing her keys and walked out locking her trailer. "Hope you like motor cycles" she said and I smirked as she started the bike. I climbed on behind her as she went towards the school.

We get to the school spotting Sweet Pea, Fangs, and Maverick. Fangs perked up and walked over to us, "What are you doing here?" he asked and I scoffed, "calm down. I switched schools." I told him rolling my eyes.

After waiting for Jughead for two hours, he finally showed up.

"It's the pins on my hat." We heard and turned to see Jughead, "Take it off, go again." The security officer said. Jughead did as told and then walked out grabbing his bag, as Toni took a picture of him with her camera. "Forsythe Pendleton Jones III." She said and Jughead just says, "Uh it's Jughead, actually." Toni looked back at me and then at him, "I'm Toni Topaz. I already gave Ev the tour so her and I were supposed to give you the full animatronic tour, but some robots went insane and started killing the guests, so, we'll just wing it."

We walked down the hall and then down a flight of stairs, "Classrooms don't have Wi-Fi, bathroom stalls don't have doors." She told him, "What about the Red and Black?" Jughead asked, "Yeah, it no longer exists. Censorship? Budget cuts? Take your pick."  Toni added. "To your right, you'll find a glimpse of jingle-jangle being consumed in its natural habitat." Toni spoke and Jughead gave me a look, "I'm sorry, "jingle-jangle"?" I chuckled, "yeah..this place is crawling with the JJ. A highly addictive total gutter drug.
So, let's not touch that. Unless you want your dad to kill me." I said joking at the end. "Jingle-jangle. Fascinating." Jughead mumbled.

We entered the cafetorium as Toni called out, "All right. Here in the cafetorium, Ghoulies sit over there. Rival gang, drug dealers, street racers, rumors of cannibalism. Don't ask. And we sit over there. With the Serpents." I smiled at the boys eyed me, "Wait, You're a Southside Serpent?" Jughead said and I rolled my eyes. "Why do you think that I volunteered her to give you the tour?" Toni and we went to walk over to the serpent table, "Actually, I'm gonna sit alone. Just, you know, finish my book and brood." Jughead said and eye'd her. "I'm confused. Aren't you like a Serpent by blood? The son of FP Jones?" Toni asked.
