12.2: Bizzarodale
"Hey guys." I chirp as I walk into La Bonne Nuit. "What's up?"
Veronica shakes her head. "We're officially dead. That, or we're about to have our kneecaps broken, courtesy of whoever this mystery buyer is." She says in an annoyed tone.
"Does that really happen?" Reggie asks. He looks over to me and I shrug.
"I've combined my liquid funds from Pop's and La Bonne Nuit." V explains. I look over her shoulder. "We're not even a quarter of the way there." She blurts.
Reggie leans in. "Is robbing banks still a thing?"
I look up at him. "I was thinking that too!" I say, Reggie and I high five as V rolls her eyes.
"Although the thought of being Velma to your Shaggy and Daphne sounds intriguing." I scoff at Veronica's statement in a joking way, "Banks have round the clock security guards with guns." She adds.
Reggie nods. "Yeah, but if they're anything like my dad's lame-ass security guards-"
"That it!" I scream. "Reggie, you're a genius!"
"I am?" He says raising a brow.
I nod. "Your dad keeps cash at the dealership, right?"
He nods, catching on. "Yeah, in a safe. Enough to make up the difference probably."
Veronica stands up. "I'm not going to let you two steal from Reggie's own family." She scolds.
"That dealership is my legacy, so technically, I'd be borrowing money from my future self." He says.
I turn to look at Ronnie. "And everything is insured, thanks to me, so Mr. Mantle will get a sweet payout." I beam.
"Which is more than he deserves for all the shiners he's given me over the years." Reg mutters. I give a sad smile, remembering freshman year and him always coming over covered in bruises, spending nights and nights over until he recovered.
Veronica looks between the two of us, "This is lunacy." She says. She slowly takes her glasses off, looking at us; "But it might be inspired lunacy." Veronica smiles. "How would we get it all done?"
"My dad's security guard is only on duty as night, after closing." Reggie begins.
"So Reggie could hit the lock during lunchtime, when Mr. Mantle is at Pops with a customer, trying to close a sale." I continue.
Veronica stands up, stepping closer to Reggie. "You could wear a Gargoyle Mask, so as not to get recognized." Veronica says. "And I, of course would come with you, as we're in this mess together."
Reggie pulls her in. "You can be my baby driver. Just please don't scratch my car." The lock lips and I gag.
"I'm here too you know!" The two split, looking at me. "What am I gonna do?"
Veronica rolls her eyes. "You have a daughter, we're not risking you in any form." She says. I huff, crossing my arms before walking out.
"Nobody lets me do the fun stuff anymore." I mumble on my way out.
Third Persons POV
"So we all received letters then, to finish Ascension Night?" Tom Keller asks.
The adults continue to talk about their problem, how the only reason this could be happening is because Tom Keller and Sierra McCoy are getting married, finally going to be happy.
"There's only one problem..." Sierra says. "The letter says we all have to participate." She continues.
Hermione says; "I'll talk to Hiram."
"But what about Kim?" Marty Mantle asks. "She was there that night."
"She wasn't playing, Marty. So shut it." Alive snaps.
Suddenly, the door opens and everyone sees a pair of black boots walk into the room. Their eyes travel to the face.
"Kimmy?" Alice asks, her voice quiet.
The woman's blond hair cascades down her shoulders, her large handbag in hand as she looks between the Midnight Club members. "Wow, you all aged terribly." She looks over at Fred. "But still a fine tall glass of water, I see." She says, a smirk on her face.
Realizing everyone is staring at her, she scoffs. "What? Do you want me to scream happy birthday or something?" She says in an annoyed tone, holding up the envelope. "I got this in the mail."
It's another letter.
Back to Emilia hoes
Sweet Pea sits at Pops, his jacket by him as I walk in. He turns around as the bell rings, his eyes lighting up as he stands. "Hey."
"Hi." I whisper, his arms wrap around me, a kiss placed on my forehead.
I sit across from him and Pop sets down a strawberry milkshake. "I think we need to talk, Em."
I raise a brow. "Yeah, of course." I say. "What's up?" I look over his shoulder to see Archie and Josie, both looking back at us.
Sweet Pea sighs, taking his hand in mine. "Emmy, we've known each other for almost a year, now. You've been my first real girlfriend, you're the mother of my first child, you were my first date, my first kiss, my first everything as much as I refuse to admit it." I laugh, shaking my head at his cheesiness. "And I know I messed up, badly. I hurt you, a lot. And you hurt me too, a lot. But it doesn't change the fact that even after all this time being apart and seeing other people, that I'm still in love with you."
Suddenly, Pea slide out of the booth, going on one knee. "The fuck?" I hear someone say. I look up to see Robin, who's sitting at the counter with a confused look.
"This isn't a proposal, I promise." Pea chuckles, causing me to let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "If you'll let me call you mine again, I'd like to give you this...as a promise ring. Emilia, I'm so in love with you. You're the first person to ever treat me like a real person, care about me enough to give me a home, a family, a person to care for." He takes my hand in his again. "Let's just go for round two?"
A smile forms on my lips. "Technically it's round three." I giggle.
"Third times a charm, right?" He asks. I let out a laugh, and I slide out of my seat as he stands, our lips connecting as a cheer erupts through the diner.
Robin sips on his milkshake. "Finally. I thought you two were gonna wait till your thirty." He mutters before walking away. Josie and Archie stare at us in surprise.
"Bet you didn't expect that, did ya bitch?" I say quietly enough that only Pea could hear. He laughs, hugging me tighter as I smile.
The next day, Veronica and Reggie tell me what happened with the money becoming an ink explosion, and we all go to meet this mysterious buyer.
"Whoever you are, please be chill." Reggie says. I look at Ronnie as a blue car pulls in slowly. I squint, trying to figure out who this person was. It looked all too familiar.
A woman steps out and my eyes widen in surprise. "Oh, great. More teenagers." Her eyes catch me and she sighs. "And more Emmy."
Reggie tosses the money down "Here's the money. Or as much as we could get of it." He says.
I shake my head as Gladys looks between us all, looking back down at the money. She smirks as she looks at Ronnie. "Veronica Lodge, I presume? Emmy must've found out her real family." She chuckles. "I can't believe Hermione sent you two out here to sort out her mess." She tells us. "Hey, I know she's cutthroat but, man, that's cold as ice."
"Sorry, are we supposed to know you?" Reggie asks. I giggle and the two dark haired teens give me confused looks.
Gladys smiles at me. "Come here, monkey." I laugh, stepping forward and hugging her tightly. "I'm Gladys Jones. You might know my kid, Jughead?"
Veronica raises her eyebrows in realization. "What?"
"Seriously?" Reggie asks.
"Your Jugheads mom?" Veroncia follows.
"Mrs. Jones, if you could give us a little more time, I know we can get you the rest of the money. Just please don't break our kneecaps."
Gladys looks at me confused and I shrug. "I gotta say, I do admire the fact that you three came out here knowing you were short. Shows you know how to take responsibility." She chuckles. "Look at the two of you. You kind of remind me a little bit of me and FP back in the day." She pats my back. "So, I'll tell you what, I'm gonna be sticking around here for a while. So, I will take your money, but I'm gonna have to charge you a fee, because I'm gonna need to get it laundered. Every which way."
"Understood." Veronica says.
"And then, we'll figure out a payment plan for the rest." Gladys adds.
back to Kimmy hoes
We all drink the cyanide antidote. "All right, lets get these chalices and get this over with." Tom says.
"Should we wait for the Lodges?"
"We're already here, Sierra." I turn around to see Hiram, my first love standing in front of me. "Kimberly." He nods, my heart stings a little as he barely acknowledges me in anyway except saying my name. "Friends, good to see you again. Although I'm certain not all of you feel the same way."
back to emmy cause i just needed to point out that kimmy IS at the school
Sweet Pea and I get home that night, Tori spending the night at Archie's. "I don't think I've ever been so happy to be in a place like this." Pea mutters.
I laugh. "Get used to it, we live here." I say, smiling. Pea takes my face in his hands, placing his lips on mine. My hands run through his hair as he scoops my up, my legs wrapping around his waist as he carries us to the room.
Clothing flies off our bodies within minutes. "I've missed you." He says against my lips, his hands roaming every part of my body.
Suddenly, my phone begins to ring and I look over, Hiram calling. "It's my dad."
"Should you answer it?" He asks. I grab it, clicking the green button.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Emilia, honey, where are you?" Hiram asks.
I raise a brow. "I'm at home with Sweet Pea, why?" I ask.
"Wheres Tori?"
"With Archie." I tell him. "What's going on?"
"Just listen, Hermione and I are coming home as soon as possible, do not open the door." He says.
I look at Pea. "You locked the door, right?" He nods silently when we hear a loud bang on the door.
Hiram's voice gets louder on the line. "Find a place to hide and call the police! Now!" He says. Pea pulls on his pants, letting me slide his shirt over my head before pulling me to the office. He shuts the door, locking it. He barricades the door with anything he can find.
Hiram continues shouting through the line at me as Pea dials 911 on his phone. Pea wraps his arm protectively around me as loud bangs flow through the apartment. "Stay quiet, Emilia!" Hiram says on the line.
I cover my mouth with my hands, hot tears streaming down my face. This, does not count as fun.
The apartment goes silent, all I can hear is Sweet Pea and I's breathing. Hiram is mumbling to someone, possibly Hermione, on the other end.
Pea steps closer, leaving me in the corner as he creeps towards the door. He slowly moves a piece of furniture out of the way, and opens the door. "I'll go check the rest of the house." He says. I go to protest but he's already gone.
Within a few minutes he comes back. "It's clear." He says.
I put the phone back to my ear. "Emmy, do you know where Kevin is?" Hiram asks me.
I look up with wide eyes, remembering the phone call earlier that day, Cheryl telling me her plan actually worked. "Oh my god. The bunker." I whisper.
I rush into the bedroom, putting on leggings and tennis goes. "We have to go." I say, Pea looks at me confused as I roll my eyes, tossing him back his shirt and putting on a different one. I grab my leather jacket before running out the door.
Cheryl and I almost crash our cars rushing to the forest. Tom and FP come out of the Cop car as the rest of the police station comes rushing in. Cheryl and I lead the way, Toni, Sweet Pea, and the police all following us. "Cheryl!" I scream, pointing at the light coming out. She aims her arrow as we rush forward. The Gargoyle King sitting there as two people, Moose and Kevin, sit on the ground.
Her arrow shoots through the air, hitting the Gargoyle King. He falls to the ground as police sirens begin to wail. FP shouts as we rush forward. Tom rushes to Kevin, and I hug Moose tightly. They begin unmasking the Gargoyle Gang, but it's just RROTC members.
"What? Why?" FP asks, confused. He approaches the King, ripping the mask off to reveal Mr. Mason.
"Dad?" Moose breathes. We all look at one another as I hug Moose tighter, attempting to comfort him.
Cheryl walks into the class room with Toni, as I share a smirk with my sister. A group of girls surround me in leather. "What's this?" Toni asks.
I step forward. "Cheryl told me about you missing a family. So, we made a plan." I shrug.
"It's a gang, if you want it. You said you were missing having the Serpents as a family," Cheryl continues.
"So we found other girls who were looking for support or community, or just good old-fashioned fisticuffs." I wrap my arm around Cheryl, smiling.
Cher turns to Toni. "And I thought maybe, we could tart a new family?"
I lean in. "As long as you don't attack me for being a serpent." I wink.
Toni smiles, kissing Cheryl passionately. "Cheryl this is the most badass and romantic thing you've ever done." She looks at me. "And just plain amazing." She tells me. I smile, hugging my friend tightly.
A girl clears her throat. "Uh, do we have a name yet?" She asks.
Toni looks at me and Cheryl, and we both shrug. "How about...." She looks around in thought. "The Pretty Poisons?"
"Pretty by day, poisons by night. I love it." My sister says.
I squeal. "Amazing!" I hug the two tightly. "I will help with everything you need help with, I promise. I'm not letting The Serpents get in the way of family." I tel them.
Cheryl smiles. "And of course, you and Tori are automatically immune to any potential issues with the Serpents, and automatically protected." She smiles.
Now we have four gangs in Riverdale.
Gargoyles, Ghoulies, Serpents, and now Pretty Poisons.
What's next?
