"This isn't an alliance with the Ghoulies. This is a hostile takeover," Jughead yells pacing the room. With Archie and I sitting on the couch watching him, "God, who knows how long Tall Boy has been planning on betraying us."
"You know its like 5 in the morning and sleep is nice-" I start to say only to realize he wasn't listening.
"Maybe I stall, just until Sweet Pea and Toni get out. I just hope they'd rather go to war with the Ghoulies than start-"
"Jughead," Archie says trying to get his attention.
"-Dealing jingle-jangle," Jughead finishes.
"You joined the Serpents to keep the peace," Archie says.
"My dad would never sit back and let this happen, so, neither will I. So, unless you have any better ideas," Jughead says.
"Not me," Archie says. Jughead looks at me.
"Not me stupid," I say,
"But, dude, what you just said," Archie says.
"Then lets go," Jughead says.
"Ugh I just wanna sleep," I groan.
"Come on Y/n," He says.
"Nooo," I whine. He picks me up bridal style and carries me outside into the cold. Tossing me in the backseat of my truck. He pulls off his jacket and hands it to me.
"There now take a nap," he says.
"Fine," I groan.

The boys sat in front of the glass, phones to their ears as FP glared at them. "Start from the beginning, boys." Jughead tells him the tale of Riverdale ripping in half. And all of the small details while I sit beside Jughead half asleep.
"Hey, you can reprimand me for joining the Serpents later, but if we don't do something now there will be no more Serpents. It'll just be the Ghoulies," Jughead says. FP smacks the phone against the glass. He was pissed. Like raging pissed. His good son had started to join the bad side. The side that screwed him up so bad. And he couldn't do a damn thing about it besides standing there. Doing nothing.
"Ghoulies dress like fops, but they're a nasty crew," FP says, "The Serpents have survived worse, though..... Much worse. The only hitch is, it sounds like you're outmanned, which means you gotta avoid bloodshed at all costs."
"I agree. A hundred percent," Archie says.
"Same here, your son's face just got back to normal," I say, "although the scars are pretty hot."
"So, out think them," FP says, "This is about territory. If there's one thing Ghoulies love, it's their crazy souped-up retro cars and hearses. You catch my Riverdale drift, boys?" He wants them to hold a street race? I look at the boys who looked confused.
"Of course they don't get it," I say, "they are idiots."
"And she's bitchy tired," Jug says. I smack his arm. I'm not bitchy tired. Even if I was. Who isn't. Who doesn't get a little mean?
"Challenge them to a street race, one-on-one. But keep it on the DL. It's illegal. It'll get you locked up," FP whispers. Constantly looking around.
"Go on," Jughead says meekly.
"Set the terms of the race. Their guy wins, the Serpents roll over," FP says.
"But if we win, the Ghoulies back off!" Jughead exclaims. Keeping his voice quiet.
"And maybe you raise the stakes. Whoever wins controls Southside High," FP says.
"We get rid of the Ghoulies and get rid of the jingle-jangle and get McCoy off our back," Jughead says.
