Chapter Eleven: Woman Like Me

On the next day, Hermione gets out of the car and arrived at Riverdale High. She was looking for Mr. Weatherbee and explained what happened in the past from the last musical. For all of sudden, she was upset that she don't want everyone to perform Heathers: The Musical. Since now, she stopping by the office including with Kevin and Evelyn.

Hermione: *puts the script book at the desk right in front of Mr. Weatherbee* Heathers: The Musical? Now how, in God's name, is a play about teen violence and suicide a good idea in Riverdale, especially after the tragedy of last year's musical? *looks at Mr. Weatherbee*

Kevin: Please, Mayor Lodge. Yes, Heathers deals with teen alienation and desperation, but its characters long for simpler, more innocent times. Its ultimate message is a rejection of nihilism. If you'll just listen to the lyrics of the first song. Evelyn.

Evelyn: *plays the music on the radio*

"Beautiful playing"

Kevin: Greetings, Heather's family. Now, before we start today, there's been a slight change to our creative team. You all know Evelyn Evernever has been helping me produce the musical. But I've also asked Evelyn to step up and be my co-director.

All of the people are surprised especially Betty is confused when Evelyn is joining co-directing with Kevin. As Evelyn walks next to Kevin and sits together.

Evelyn: Yay! So fun!

Betty: What? Kevin, no, you always direct the musical alone.

Kevin: This is war. Which has been incredibly stressful, Betty. Especially after last year's events.

Sweetpea: Can we just not talk about Midge? *sighs*

Kevin: Ok so, who wants to go first?

Josie: I'm playing Veronica Sawyer, outcast turned Heather turned outcast again.

Sweetpea: Hi, I'm Sweet Pea. Um, playing JD, Veronica Sawyer's bad-boy love interest.

Zurich: *looks at Sweetpea*

Carter: Carter Smith. Aka jock Ram Sweeney. Gonna bro it up with my boys. *holds Archie and Bobby* just two single straight dudes doing some theater.

Kevin: Given how much dancing there is in Heathers, Evelyn and I felt we bring on a choreographer, so give a big Heathers hello to Riverdale's resident fly girl, Toni Topaz!

All students are cheering to Toni without Cheryl as she stands up a bit and looks at Toni*

Toni: *comes to the stage*

Cheryl: Um, does anyone have a chainsaw, because what the...

*45 minutes later*

All the students are laying on the floor together at the lounge and they're waiting for Kevin.

Archie: Cheryl, why would she think if she joins the choreographer?

Cheryl: Excuse me, Archibald, she's going to steal my lines of the dancing moves!

Betty: Let her be, Archie.

Cheryl: I was asking Kevin first, to ask when I wanna become a dance choreographer.

Michelle: Maybe next year, you can do it.

Cheryl: *ignored Michelle*

Zurich: I just wanna eat some pizza. Starving as hell.

Jughead: This is getting some antithesis.

Betty: You're right Jug. Cause once they have to change the roles to the characters.

Romeo: I've never sung my entire life. *takes out the soda can while he lied*

Archie: Ronnie, are you ok?

Veronica: *nods*

Carter: Speaking of this, who's playing secret and sins?

Zurich: It's too early for that.

Kevin: All right! *claps* Cheryl, Veronica, Betty, Vanessa, Michelle, "Candy Store", set and costumes are ready. Go get changed.

*At the auditorium*

Kevin: So this number is about the Heathers' undeniable power. Each of you can get anything you want at any time. So really unleash that force. We'll all start with some simple steps.

Cheryl: Yeah, we got it, thanks.

Kevin: Uh, Toni has some fantastic chores.

Cheryl: How very. But my Heathers and I have already worked out our own choreography.

Toni: Come on, Cheryl. I'm trying to be professional here, can you not?

Cheryl: *walking closer to her* Are we gonna have a problem?

"Candy Store playing"

Girls: *singing*

While the girls singing, Cheryl and Toni doing mistaking moves and bumps to each other, and Kevin and Evelyn were confused a bit. Cheryl told Toni to say, "Shut Up, Toni!" Cheryl and Toni keep singing and walks right in front of the stage again and again and the song was finished.

*30 minutes later*

Veronica: Betty, can I talk to you for a minute?

Betty: What is it V?

Veronica: I just wanna say, I'm sorry. I should never say to threaten Jughead like that. I was going to say for the first time before I threatened Jughead. My parents are getting divorced.

Betty: I'm sorry V. Why didn't you tell me or even the guys?

Veronica: I was not gonna hold my patience. I feel irritated.

Betty: *hearing*

Veronica: *her tears falling to her cheek and covered herself*

*Meanwhile*

Dylan: *still making paint on the wall and hearing his phone call and answered* Hey honey! Seems like old today.

Minka: I guess that's a perspective thing.

Dylan: Hey, doing time for the family is no piece of cake, but the family is needed for us. Sympathy is to be kept between Alfie and Vanessa.

Minka: What about tomorrow night at Pop's so we can date for one night.

Dylan: Ok. It's on.

*Meanwhile*

Laura: *cooking Grilled Cheese with Justin and passes to him* One for you.

Justin: Thanks. I really have to go for a bit cause I have to chit-chat with my friends at the library.

Laura: Just take your time. But hey, I was hoping we can see my son's show.

Justin: When?

Laura: Tomorrow night.

Justin: What is it about?

Laura: One of the terrifying films is called Heathers.

Justin: Heathers? I watched it all the damn time. Sometimes they are having a huge celebration as fucked.

Laura: *giggles a bit*

Justin: As they performed out there, they will kick their butts at the Broadway.

Laura: You know what?

Justin: What?

Laura: Remember we first met at the detention?

Justin: Yeah. I was not tolerated to keep quiet.

Laura: Hurry up and eat it.

Justin: *eats*

*Meanwhile*

*At the backstage*

"Big Fun playing"

Betty: I wonder what your father Edgar would say about this, Evelyn.

Evelyn: No need to wonder. *starts singing* Dad says, "Act your age"

Kevin: *singing* You heard the boss it's time to rage.

All: Blast the bass. Turn on the light. Ain't nobody home tonight.

Kevin: Get down, it's all cool.

Evelyn: Jump right in. My heated pool.

All: Punch the wall and start the fight. Ain't nobody home tonight. Ahhh. The folks are gone. It's time for big fun, big fun. We're up till dawn, having some big fun, big fun. It's time to overflow. That hot tub on the patio. It's big fun. Big fun. It's big fun.

After singing...

*later in that night*

Sean traveled to Greendale for an hour from the bus and he gets off the bus and he looked around at the corner as he walks to the store.

Sean: *walking and grabs the chips and puts inside the bookbag and the surveillance camera doesn't show him what's he steal*

Claire: *walks up to Sean and caught him* Take it out, now.

Sean: *sees Claire and takes out the chips*

Claire: Why would you hide the chips inside the bag huh? Are you going to jail to do shit like that?

Sean: No ma'am.

Claire: I'm officer Claire Lyons. The police. Do you have money on you?

Sean: Some guys tryna jump me and I just lost it.

Claire: Ok. *takes out the money for $10 and gives it to him*

Sean: Thanks...Officer Claire.

Claire: Take your stuff and I want you to go straight home because the curfew is about to start.

Sean: *hearing*

*later*

*At Lyons house*

Claire: I have figured it that I'm working a double shift tomorrow.

Zurich: What about the show?

Claire: I can't.

Romeo: Mom? Dad? Everybody is standing on the streets outside. They were all wearing white outfits. *looking out the window and sees them*

Tobey: *sees them as well and comes out* Hey, can I help you?

The Farm: *doesn't say it*

Tobey: You want anything? Just get outta here now if you don't want anything. Are you lost?

The Farm: *doesn't say it*

The Farm is still standing there for the next 15 minutes and they want them to be part of The Farm.

Zurich: They are still out there.

Tobey: Let me grab a thing. *goes upstairs and grabs the gun and reloads it before he comes outside* What the hell did I tell y'all to get off my spot! Now, the cops...already on the way.

The Farm: *runs away without Edgar*

Edgar: *walks to the house*

Tobey: Hey, Hey, Hey! *tries to shoot Edgar and his gun is jammed* Shit! *runs back inside and locked the door*

Edgar: *knocking on the door multiple times*

Claire: Go away!

Edgar: *disappeared*

Tobey: *walks slowly to the door*

Zurich: What are you doing dad? *whispered*

Tobey: *opens the door and looks around and shuts the door*

*the next day*

Toni sings Dead Girl Walking after she argued with Cheryl about being red. While she singing, she walks to the lounge and grabs Rico and Peaches to the auditorium and she kept singing. Rico and Peaches take off their shirt and pants while Toni is looking at Cheryl right next to the windows and she cuts off the song.

Toni: Stop, Stop! I can't do this. I'm sorry. *runs away*

Rico and Peaches are shrugged together.

*Meanwhile*

Phoebe: *arrives at the lounge and sits next to Romeo* Oh hey.

Romeo: What's up? *writing his notebook*

Phoebe: Listen, I wasn't here yesterday cause I got a doctor's appointment.

Romeo: How did it go?

Phoebe: It's fine. I'm pretty sure to take my breath away.

Romeo: For sure.

Phoebe: Mmm...*raises her eyebrows once*

Romeo: *looks at her* What?

Phoebe: Nothing.

Romeo: What? *smiles a bit*

Phoebe: I said, nothing hustler. *puts one finger to his lip*

Romeo: *feels it*

Phoebe: Nice watch by the way. *looks at it*

Romeo: Thank you.

Announcer: Zurich Lyons, please report to the principal office. Zurich Lyons, please report to the principal office.

Zurich: *walks to the principal office*

Betty: *distracting and went to the office and puts the files right front of Mr. Weatherbee* Check that out.

Weatherbee: *looking at the picture to The Farm from the files*

Betty: Principal Weatherbee, Heathers is being used to indoctrinate students into a cult.

Weatherbee: It looks like these two boys are simply rehearsing.

Betty: No. No, no, this is part of a religious ceremony. A ritual.

Weatherbee: The Farm's a fully sanctioned club, Ms. Cooper. Approved by me, after I read Edgar's doctrines. Which, I must say, I found quite fascinating and appealing.

Zurich: Who's Edgar?

Betty: *looks at Weatherbee and right before she looks at Zurich* Don't worry about it. Come with me. *takes the files and walks out*

Zurich: *follows Betty* Ok...who are you? Beth? Bethany?

Betty: Betty Cooper. Check this out. *gives the files to him*

Zurich: *looking at the picture and noticed about white outfits* I saw the groups who wearing the white outfits just standing at our house for the next 15 minutes from the other night.

Betty: What happened?

Zurich: One of the men who try to break our home.

Betty: What is he look like?

Zurich: A little blond, tall guy and smirking.

Betty: You are still normal. Look, whenever you see someone or Evelyn who wears the white dress? Ignoring. Something has happened to you, here's my number. *writing her number and gives it to him*

Zurich: No problem. No doubt.

*After school*

Bobby: *returned home with Vanessa and he goes upstairs to his room*

Vanessa: You got yourself a mind?

Bobby: No minds. As of what? We have a few hours until the show.

Vanessa: I got my dress in my bag. We should stick together for the rest of the night.

Bobby: *looks at her*

*Meanwhile*

Michelle: *keeps fighting with the punching bag before Carter comes to the community center*

Carter: Look at you. Look at you. Got some strength?

Michelle: Carter, we need to talk.

Carter: Yes we do. It's too much for me to be doing performed in the musical. When I saw the news about the last musicals in Riverdale while we're in Greendale High without talking.

Michelle: I saw it too. In case, we just got in the play. I hope when we do for the last chance performances tonight.

Carter: *hearing*

*Meanwhile*

*At the Park in Greendale*

Phoebe: I didn't sing well too. At least, I go out at every stage when it makes me feel nervous.

Romeo: *hearing* You could be wasted on your voice. Do you think I'm a bad singer?

Phoebe: *hearing*

Romeo: I'm...I listened to most of the Hip-Hop songs. When I was little, I opened up for singing the chorus when I was third to fifth grade.

Phoebe: I wanna regret that you can bring your real singing back?

Romeo: Stop playing with me, girl.

Phoebe: I'm serious. You better make up your mind. I'm about to sing, so...don't look at me.

*Meanwhile*

Cheryl with the dress on and she's on the bed before Toni comes in with the cup and Cheryl smiled.

Jughead takes off his beanie while sitting right next to Betty.

"Seventeen playing"

Jughead: What are we gonna do? *crying*

Betty: I've got a crazy idea. *sighs and starts singing* Let's be normal. See bad movies. Sneak a beer and watch TV. We'll bake brownies. Or go bowling. Don't you want a life with me? *holding Jughead* Can we be seventeen? That's all I want to do.

Bobby: *singing* If you could let me in. I could be good with you.

Vanessa: *singing* People hurt us. Or they vanish.

Archie: And you're right.

Veronica: That really blows.

Carter: But we let go.

Michelle: Take a deep breath.

Josie: And go buy.

Zurich: Some summer clothes.

Phoebe: We'll go camping.

Romeo: Play some poker.

Jughead: And we'll eat.

Betty: Some chili fries.

Archie: Maybe prom night.

Veronica: Maybe dancing.

Cheryl: Don't stop looking in my eyes.

Toni: Your eyes.

Jughead and Betty: Can we be seventeen? Is that hard to do?

Archie and Veronica: If you could let me in. I could be good with you.

Carter and Michelle: Let us be seventeen.

Bobby and Vanessa: If we still got the right.

Romeo and Phoebe: So, what it's gonna be?

Zurich and Josie: I want to be with you. I want to be with you.

All: Tonight.

Archie and Veronica kissed.

Zurich and Josie kissed.

Carter and Michelle kissed deeply.

Cheryl and Toni kissed.

Bobby and Vanessa kissed.

Romeo and Phoebe kissed.

Betty and Jughead kiss and pull away slowly and continue singing* You're the one, I choose.

*later in that night*

Josie: Zurich, There is something I can tell you. I'm leaving Riverdale this summer. I have to go to New York and start my own thing.

Zurich: *hearing*

Josie: I know it's good for me and I just signed a music deal.

Zurich: I'm very happy for you. Why would you see me when you come back?

Josie: I don't know. I think...we're gonna break up after I leave the town.

Zurich: *hearing*

*Meanwhile*

Mary: Hermione, I'm very sorry about you and Hiram.

Hermione: Don't worry about it. He's a scumbag.

Fred: Have you seen Alice lately?

FP: I kept calling her twice and she doesn't respond.

Fred: I hope Alice would be here.

*Meanwhile*

*At Pop's*

*Minka and Dylan wearing this*

Dylan: I was like, "Hey, do you wanna grab a coffee real quick?"

Minka: I'm gonna give you one too if you don't mind. Dylan, I was hitting the ground when I was doing the workout. I was feeling in pain and I couldn't swell in my back. I still can breathe and you were turning against me.

Dylan: That is why I saved your ass off.

Minka: It's because I love you. Anything would go on a vacation to Hawaii?

Dylan: I'm not exactly sure. Just that, you were always to be together. Every biggest star performs a speakeasy every once on a Saturday night.

Minka: They should be. Because I want to see Tim McGraw.

Dylan: *laughs a bit* You absolutely got me. Cheers?

Minka: Cheers.

Dylan and Minka are cheering together.


*The show starts and Seventeen reprises playing*

FP and Fred: *watching them*

Hermione and Mary: *watching them*

Harold and Laura: *watching them*

Romeo, Rico, and Tobey: *watching them*

Betty: *singing* Listen up, folks. War is over.

Jughead: Brand new sheriff's. Come to town.

Bobby: We are done with acting evil.

Michelle: We will lay our weapons down.

Zurich: We're all damaged.

Vanessa: We're all frightened.

Archie: We're all freaks.

Veronica: But that's all right.

Josie: We'll endure it. We'll survive it.

Kevin: Martha, are you free tonight?

*flashback*

Betty and Jughead are watching the house fire and they are kissing and taking off their jackets.

Until the flashback ends, the cast is finished singing "Seventeen". When one of the people clapped very slowly and it was Edgar. It seems like Evelyn was surprised that she knew when Edgar got invited by Evelyn to watch the show and he winked at Betty.

Evelyn: I knew my dad would like it.

Betty: *hearing and sees Alice with Edgar*

All: *looks at the Farm*

Romeo: *turns around and sees the group from last night and quietly* You have gotta be kidding me...

Edgar: *claps a little faster and smirks*
