Jughead's body automatically shut down. He passed out.

The cold temperature was too much for his shivering body.

A half an hour later, the common Serpents climbed down into the bunker to play G&G.

Cheryl was first to get down. When she saw Jughead's freezing body laying on the bed, she screamed.

"What happened?" shouted Sweet Pea. He stood next to Cheryl, then gasped.

He went over to Jughead, and started shaking him.

"Is he dead?" Cheryl unexpectedly asked.

"Jughead, wake up!" Sweet Pea screamed.

Toni was scared, so was Fangs.

After a few minutes of shaking, Jughead's eyes opened up.

He woke up. "What?" He groggily asked.

"Oh, thank God." Toni said, relieved.

"What happened?" Jughead questioned.

Cheryl shrugged, "we were gonna ask you. We just got in, and saw you on the be-" she stopped.

Then, she slapped herself.

"What?" Toni asked her.

"That sounds so stupid. We found him lying on his bed. He was probably fucking sleeping," Cheryl answered.

Sweet Pea and Fangs listened in. The three copied Cheryl, slapping themselves.

"What the hell is up with you guys?" Jughead inquired.

"You were asleep, right?" Fangs asked.

"I guess I was. I don't remember going to sleep, though." Jughead shrugged. "Well, I was cold, and then everything went black."

"Did you faint?" Toni questioned.

"Actually, maybe I did," Jughead said, "maybe that's what happened."

"Jesus, it's so cold in here," Sweet Pea said.

"Maybe he passed out from the cold." Fangs shrugged.

"That's right." Jughead said.

"And you're still gonna live here?" asks Cheryl.

"Yeah, might aswell move back in with Veronica." Toni crossed her arms.

"Or, I could leave Riverdale." Jughead suggested.

"It's too cold." Fangs said, "you're gonna freeze to death on the way to wherever."

Jughead sighed. He packed all his stuff in no time. "Guess I'll try to convince Veronica to let me back."

"Ha, you're gonna have to literally beg on your knees," Cheryl snickered.

Sweet Pea rose a brow.

"I was being a bitch to Veronica. That's why I moved out." Jughead explained.

"Anyways, let's go." Jughead said.

"We came here to play," Fangs said, "but obviously, it's too cold."

"Once I move back in, we can play in there," Jughead climbed up the ladder.

The Serpents went back to their trailers, while Jughesd was on his way to Veronica's.

Veronica finished her whole bowl of popcorn. Benjamin and Olivia had their happy ending, and the credits were rolling.

And, the girl was bawling her eyes out.

She even had a box of tissues beside her.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Veronica wiped her tears away, then went up to go get it.

Once she opened the door, Jughead appeared.

"Oh, you." She said, sniffling.

"Look," Jughead started, "It's gonna be quite the story."

"Get in," Veronica said, "it's getting cold."

The two sat on the couch.

Jughead explained everything to Veronica. Then asked if he could move back in with her.

He was getting impatient, waiting for the girl's answer.
