Almost five years ago, Betty Cooper took off and fled the town of Riverdale. Rumors were spread and the townspeople whispered about why she might've left, some suspect that her dreams of living in New York were the cause. But those who knew her best, knew that wasn't the case. Now, after she is called in to investigate a recent murder within her home town, she is forced to work with none other than Riverdale's own investigative journalist-Jughead Jones. 

Betty is hiding huge secrets from her old friend, and the feelings she's locked inside herself are dangerously close to resurfacing. Will she be strong enough to resist Jughead's pull on her even after all these years? Or will she allow her heart to be broken once again by her high school sweetheart?

The Only Beanie - Book 4 (Riverdale Season 4/5) by IridianSwift

Senior year was supposed to be magical, the best time of their lives. But when Jughead transfers to Stonewall Prep and video tapes start appearing on doorsteps, the year goes downhill. As suicides turn to murder and the web of lies thicken, Jughead and Betty get drawn into another mystery while Aminity vows to try to continue her normal year as much as possible. She focuses on classes and her job, but can't help but get drawn into her brother's problems. That means they're both in danger. At the end, who will wear the last beanie? Book 4 in Aminity's story. This story follows Riverdale Season 4. I decided to add in the first part of Riverdale Season 5 also because I felt that it was a better end point rather than what had to happen because of Covid. Chapter titles will be done by episode title in which the story takes place. Most episodes are split into two chapters. If there are any warnings, they will be noted at the top of the chapter. All rights belong to the CW and Riverdale. I only own my own characters and any extra plot that I throw in.
