No Running From Me

The End

      Cheryl's hands were shaking and she really doesn't know why she's so nervous. She knew what was going to happen. They've talked about this. "Relax Cheryl, you know she's going to say yes." Archie says while stopping in the middle of his task. "I am relaxed. Now get back to work Andrews, I'm not paying you for nothing." She says, smirking. "You aren't paying me." Archie deadpans.

      Cheryl was acting suspicious. Toni could acknowledge that. She knew she wasn't cheating because that was just ridiculous, they've been together for too long for that crap. "Maybe she's broken something again?" Toni asks Veronica and Betty hoping they'll know something. "What would she have broken?" Veronica asks as they walk through the mall. "I'm not sure, but remember how she acted when her and Archie broke my favorite plates because they were testing out their 'ninja moves'?" Toni says, using air quotes. "But that was before college, surely she's gotten smarter." Betty states and Veronica and Toni both give her a look. "Okay, just ask her then." She states with an exaggerated eye roll.

      "Babe!" Toni yells out through Cheryls house when she walks through the door with Veronica and Betty in tow. When she hears nothing in response, she checks Cheryls game room to see no one. Then she wanders in the kitchen to find a note. 'Meet me at the spot where we had our first date. (You can bring Betty and Veronica.)-Cheryl' Toni rolls her eyes, this wasn't out of character for Cheryl, she constantly did romantic things. "Ugh, but I'm tired." Toni practically whines as Veronica yanks on her arm.

      "Code green, the package is on route." Sweet Pea says, looking up from his phone. "Code green? More like code red! What the honky tonk badonki donk am I supposed to do?" Cheryl was flipping out, nerves were coursing through her. "You're acting like you were when we broke Toni's favorite plates that she kept at your house." Archie said smirking. "Oh god, she probably thinks I broke something." Cheryl says pacing. "Relax Red, it could be worse, she could think you were cheating." Fangs said as he walked up. Cheryl rolls her eyes as Jughead comes running up. "Code Blue!" He says as everyone hides and Cheryl stands there, sweating bullets. "Cheryl?" Cheryl hears her before she sees her. "I didn't break anything." Cheryl says nervously. "Well, actually, you know that lamp you bought me? I broke that when I was trying out my new lightsaber." Cheryl admits as she try's to ignore Veronica's smirk.

       "We'll get back to that, what is all this?" Toni asks, in slight awe at the fairy lights along with the flower pedals on the ground in the shape os a heart. She saw a dingy on the shore and really wanted to shake her head no but she didn't want to ruin what Cheryl had planned. "I know it's sketchy but can you get in this boat?" Cheryl asks as she steps in cautiously and hold out her hand towards Toni who nods as she grabs the outstretched hand. "If you kill me we have witnesses." Toni says smirking as she gracefully gets in the dingy. "No, if I were going to do that I would've done it a long time ago." Cheryl says, rolling her eyes. She rows them out to the middle of sweet water river and stops rowing as they float.

      "So, the reason I brought you out here wasn't to kill you but because there's something we should talk about." Cheryl honestly had an elaborately planned speech but as she stood up her foot slipped and she fell in. "Oh my god, are you okay?" Toni asks as Cheryl emerged from the water pouting. "This wasn't how I planned on asking you." Cheryl says in exasperation. "Asking me what?" Toni asks in amusement. "I know this isn't the ideal way to ask, but will you marry me?" Cheryl asks anxiously. Toni sits there staring in shock with her mouth agape. "Toni?" Cheryl questions, still in the water as she reaches for the ring case in her pocket. When she pulls the case out of the water and opens it up for Toni to see it causes Toni to snap out of her shock and jump out of the side of the boat onto Cheryl and kiss her. "Yes, finally!" Toni says as she keeps kissing her.

      "Don't be mad but I dropped the ring." Cheryl says as she pulls away, out of breath. "I don't even care right now. I love you." Toni says and it's there in sweet water river, foreheads presses together and fully clothed that they both fall even deeper in love.
