It was the day of the dance. I was going with the CUTEST boy ever. Archie Andrews. A dream come true. I put on my dress and Veronica, Archie, Kevin, and Jughead all were in the limo waiting. I did my hair and put on light makeup. I head outside and see the limo. I get in and sit next to Archie.

"Sorry, did I take too long?" I ask, sighing,

"No, you didn't, its fine." Archie says, staring at his phone, like usual.

"You look nice, Betty." Kevin says.

"Aww, thanks." I say.

"Actually, you look gorgeous. Right, Jug?" Veronica looks at Jughead and gives him a look.

"Yeah, you look beautiful, Betty." Jughead grins, shyly.

"Thank you, Juggie." I blush.

We pull up to the school and Archie gets out first. I walk into the gym, trying to follow Archie and are greeted by the parent chaperones, Veronica's mom being one of them.

"Hello, Mrs. Lodge." I say, nodding my head.

"Hey, Betty. You look gorgeous. Here with anyone?" Hermione says, looking around me.

"Uh, yeah. Archie Andrews." I blush.

"Have fun, then!" Hermione smiles.

I run to Veronica and Kevin dancing by themselves.

"Where's Archie?" I ask.

"Talking to Jughead, but Betty?" Kevin says, grabbing my arm.

"What?"

"You should finally say something. That carrot top is too dumb to make a move. No offense." Veronica says.

"None taken, Veronica." I laugh.

I walk over to Jughead and Archie and Jughead walks away, waving at me.

"Hi, Juggie! Hi, Arch." I say.

"Hey, Betty, wanna dance?" Archie says.

"Of course, thank you." Archie grabs my hands and we slow dance.

"So, Arch. Can I say something?" I take a deep breath. It's time.

"Huh? Yeah, what's up." Archie says.

"Now that I have your attention and your not staring at your phone," I start. It's now or never. "I have this dream, or fantasy.. of us maybe.... being a power couple?"

"Betty," Archie sighs.

"Is that so wrong to imagine? Does that have to stay a fantasy?" I look at him and he stops dancing.

"Betty, I can't give you the answer you want. Not now. I-I'm sorry. I like someone..." Archie notices me tearing up.

I shake my head and we let go of each other. I walk out of the gym, holding back my tears. I see Veronica and Jughead in the hallway.
