The two turned around, seeing the one and only Veronica Lodge.

"There you are," she walked up to them.

"Veronica? What are you doing here?" Jughead questioned.

"I was looking for you," Veronica answered, "I thought you moved out without telling me, or taking your stuff."

"Anyways, what were you doing?" She asked.

"I was," Jughead looked at Sweet Pea, who's arms were crossed, "at my dad's trailer."

"Are you moving back in?" Veronica inquired.

"No," Jughead denied. "I was just asking my dad a question."

"What'd you ask?" Sweet Pea questioned.

Jughead glared at Sweet Pea, then looked back at Veronica.

Veronica had her hands on her hips, waiting for his answer.

Jughead sighed, "I asked him if he could try to make peace with Hiram."

"Why? Why would you do that, Jughead? Daddy's obviously going to try to kill you," Veronica said.

"I know," Jughead replied, "but I love you."

"What?" Veronica asked.

"What?" Sweet Pea repeated.

Jughead looked down. "I wanna be with you, Veronica Lodge. I want you to be mine, and I want to be yours."

Veronica's face heated up.

But why? She rarely blushes once a boy confesses to her.

Sweet Pea was in shock.

This is so not Jughead. He thought.

Jughead turned around to walk away. He wasn't in the mood for rejection, even if he just confessed.

Suddenly, Veronica grabbed his wrist. She turned him around, and locked lips him.

Because of their height difference, she had to go on her toes.

Sweet Pea awkwardly walked away, giving them their time.

The two parted.

Jughead stared deep into the girl's eyes.

"You kissed me," he said.

"Of course," Veronica replied, "I think I've caught feelings for you, Jughead Jones."

Jughead wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

Veronica wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his chest.

She was already close to falling asleep.

Jughead noticed, then swiped her off her feet, carrying her bridal style.

"We should go back home," he said, looking at the tired girl.

Veronica nodded.

"It's just 11:45am, and you're already sleepy." Jughead chuckled.

He kissed her on the forehead, then walked back home with Veronica in his arms.

Jughead carefully put Veronica on her bed.

He went to go leave her room, but Veronica wouldn't let go of his hand.

"Can you," Veronica started, "sleep with me?"
