A few more minutes had passed in a comfortable silence except for the faint sound of the radio playing, Betty let her eyes follow the movement of the setting around her, which mainly was trees. Jughead had his eyes stuck on the road, till he slowly came to a stop causing Betty to turn towards him grinning of excitement. They both got out the car and joined hands once they met at the front of it. "How did you know about this?" Betty smiled quickly glancing at the neon carnival before facing Jughead. "Well I said I wanted to take you somewhere fun and enjoyable, and then Ronnie told me that she had drove past this place." He said before kissing her softly and then turning and making there way towards the entrance.
For Betty walking towards the fairground was a thrill itself, which grew every step.
When a few kids ran past laughing she knew she'd have a great night.

The first thing Betty noticed once they had entered was the Ferris wheel, towering over everything else. It shone like a circle of diamonds in the sky , bright and vivid. But for Jughead it was the unique smell of different glorious foods: frying burgers, hotdogs, sweet cotton candy and toffee apples. They both looked to the left after hearing sounds of laughter, "do you want to go on them first?" Jughead asked pointing at the bumper carters, "yes please, me and Kevin loved going on these as kids." She smiled and they both made their way to the short line.

Not long after Jughead payed for two tokens and they both got into separate carts. "I'm going to kick your ass, Jones." Betty said from her cart which was a few behind Jughead's. A few adults gave Betty glares, due to her choice of words. "Try Me Betts." He laughed as the loud buzzer rang and they both stepped on the pedal.

Betty managed to smash through some carts, catching up to Jughead causing a few carts to hit the side. A smirk grew on Betty's face when she was at his side and twisted her steering wheel hitting the back side of Jughead's cart, making him jolt forward and then back against his seat when he hit the wall. "You'll pay for that." He shouted as she drove away laughing. Betty was going by without getting hit, smashing into anyone's cart when she has the chance, but being gently when there is kids in one. As she went to hit into another crowd of carts, hers thudded to the side making her smash into another cart. Jughead smirked at her and she playfully rolled her eyes at him. A few seconds later, there was a loud beep meaning that the time was up.

They both climbed out the carts and rejoined hands before walking around the carnival to find the next thing to do. After a few other rides, Betty came to a holt in front of a big neon sign, "want to go on that?" Jughead asked and she nodded. "You get in line, I'm just going to the toilet, I'll be back In a minute." He added quickly kissing her before running of into the crowd. She did as he said and made her way in the line behind a group of boys.

The ride was mega dance, Betty always loved it since a kid. Her and Charles (Betty's brother) went on it every time they went to a fair together, he'd always have to rest his arm in front of her to assure she didn't fly out the seat since she was small. Her thoughts were rudely interrupted when she realised a few of the boys in front kept turning their heads to look at her, licking their lips. "Can I help you?" Betty said stuffing her hands into her denim jacket pockets, "Yeh, I just checked my phone and it doesn't have your number in it, care to put it in for me." One brown haired jock smirked making Betty cringe. "No, I'm pretty sure you'll never get it." She replied, "Come on, your hot, and alone. Maybe you'd want to join us and later we can go out for a few drinks." He smiled, making Betty want to vomit. "Dude, I'm too old for you and I'm not alone," she said and turnt her head looking around till she noticed Jughead walking towards the line, "in fact he'll be here any second now." Betty added and waved at jughead so he could see where she was, Jug smiled in response and climbed under the rope next to her.

She pulled her hand out her pocket and grabbed his intertwining their fingers giving him a soft smile. "This is the dude your on a date with?" The boy asked and Betty nodded. "Well after your done with him, come find me, I doubt there will be a second date between you two." He smirked, winking at Betty, she felt as Jughead tensed up and watched as he tightened his jaw. Betty gave his hand a squeezed to stop him from pouncing at the boy in front. "Seriously kid, I would shut up if I were you, otherwise he will kick your ass and I will too." Betty stated, glaring at the kid but the boy didn't move, not even the smirk wiped of his face. "Yeh, I'd like to see him try." He replied and Betty rolled her eyes.
Jughead pulled his hand away from Betty and unfolded his leather serpent jacket that he was holding in his other hand. "Do you know what this is?" Jughead asked holding the jacket up so the boy could see the snake. "Your a serpent, so what. That gangs just filled with thugs and whores." The boy replied crossing his arms and rolling his eyes, "I'm not just a serpent, I'm the fucking leader, so keep your eyes off my girlfriend." Jughead growled and the boy stepped backwards, "And we're not thugs or whores." Betty added. The boy gulped and nodded before turning back round to his friends.

Betty wrapped her arms around Jugheads torso and rested her head on his chest once he had put on his serpent jacket. "After this ride we can grab something to eat, I know your probably starving." She said, "you read my mind." He smiled and she giggled.
