Forever And Always

Chapter 118

The war with Stonies was finally over, not too soon after it ended, the next round of videotapes appeared. 

Jughead and Callie were both walking home from grabbing Pops for both their households, they both put the food down, picking up the tape.

'You know the sun is in your eyes," Jughead sang. 

"And hurricanes and rains," Callie sang.

"And black and cloud skies," Jughead sang. Archie appeared behind her after coming home from a run.

"You're running up and down that hill," Archie sang as he took the tape from Callie. "You turn it on and off at will."

***At veronica's***

"There's nothing here to thrill or bring you down," Veronica sang as she looked at the tape that appeared at her apartment door. 

****At Thisthorn, the Ladies were gathered around the screen."

"And if you've got no other choice," Toni sang. "You know you can follow my voice."

"Through the dark turns and noise of this Wicked little town," Cheryl sang. 

***At the Jones, they sat on the couch.

"The fates are vicious and they're cruel," Betty sang. 

"You learn too late, you've used two wishes like a fool," Jellybean, Alice, and Fp sang. 

***At the Pembrook

"The pious, hateful and devout," Veronica sang. 

"You're turning tricks Til you're turned out," Hiram and Hermoine sang.

"The wind so cold, it burns, you're burning out, blowing out," Veronica sang. 

***At Pops, a few customers, Pops, Reggie, Fangs, Kevin, Mr. Keller, and Sweet Pea stared at the screen. 

"And then you're someone you are not," Kevin sang. "And Riverdale, it ain't the spot." Kevin went to look out the window, they all followed. "Remember Mrs. Lost."

"And when she turned around," they all joined in the singing. 

***Back at the Cooper's

"And if you've got no other choice," Betty sang. "You know you can follow my voice."

"Through the dark turns and noise of this Wicked Little Town," Jughead sang as he wrapped his arms around her.

No one slept much after the third round of tapes, it was the mystery to be solved. But Jughead and Callie had both been told by Veronica to just focus on senior year. Callie was now sitting in the student lounge, she was doing her homework when Jughead walked up tapping her.

"What is it, Jones?" Callie asked looking up at him.

"I know these tapes are bothering you as much as they are bothering me," Jughead said. 

"And Veronica told us to focus on the rest of senior year," Callie reminded him. 

"And we can do that by watching those tapes as we do our school work," Jughead said. "I know you know how to multi-task."

"If Sweet Pea gets a whiff of this he's going to kill," Callie said. 

"He's not going to kill you," Jughead clicked his tongue. "You are his soft underbelly."

"His what?" Callie asked closing the book.

"Penny Peabody once told me that all snakes have a soft underbelly, and you're Sweet Pea's," Jughead teased. "Let's go Watson we got a new mystery to solve."
