Chapter Nineteen: A Summer Place

Jughead's narrator: It's been a quiet few days in Riverdale and the other places. Spring slid into summer, and some semblance of normal life resumed. The terrors of the gang members were forgotten, but they had started to fade. After some debate, it was decided that there would be an Independence Day parade down Main Street, Riverdale's first in three years. There would be no fireworks display over Sweetwater River.

Betty: *checking his story pages* It's a beautiful story, Jug.

Jughead: Really? Do you think it's worth submitting to the contest?

Betty: No, I think it's gonna win the contest.

Jughead: I love you.

Betty: I love you, too.

Jughead: *kisses her forehead and smiles*

Betty: *smiles back*

Veronica: Can we just stay in bed forever? And if not forever, at least of the day?

Archie: I would. But don't we have to finish building a float for your big 4th of July parade?

Veronica: It's not my parade. It's the town. Pop is only sponsoring it. Well...if not the day, how about another hour?

Archie: Hell yeah.

Archie and Veronica kissed and smiles at each other.

Bobby: I smell like a victory for Independence Day.

Vanessa: I smell it, too. Two days left, shall we?

Bobby: *smiles* Listen, I'm about to cook some breakfast. *gets off the bed*

Vanessa: How about we can go to Pop's. I got some change.

Bobby: Are you sure? Cause I'm better than a cook.

Vanessa: *sighs and laughs*

Bobby: What? You really sick. *gets back on the bed and starts kissing her*

Vanessa: *kissing him back*

Michelle: *leaves the house and gets on the bike and riding to Carter's house and knocks on the door*

Carter: *opened the door* Come in.

Michelle: Hey! *comes in and hugs him*

Carter: *hugs her back*

Michelle: I can see you cleaning up by yourself since now.

Carter: It's been clean from last night, Mich.

Michelle: What's the big deal? Until we grow, how about we can move together for an apartment.

Carter: I think...I would let you know when we headed back to the town after college. There is no mistaking, I still got you.

Michelle: Ok.

Zurich: *walks in the woods with Romeo* Why are we walking in the woods?

Romeo: I would show you really quick. *stops and shows them a shooting target and takes out the gun*

Zurich: Woah!

Romeo: Really? Woah? You are scared when I have a gun. Don't be scared. You don't have to waste any time.

Zurich: No doubt.

Romeo: Only good is your crew. Remember when the last time I was holding your back?

Zurich: The one we just did to those dealers?

Romeo: *nods* From now, you gotta learn how to shoot perfectly clear. *gives it to him* Standing straight.

Zurich: *points to the target and shoots it once*

Romeo: Again.

Zurich: *shoots again*

Romeo: Stop. *walks over to the target* You didn't get to the middle of a target hole.

Zurich: The gun is really heavy.

Romeo: Well. you have to work hard than that. Or else, you could get yourself hurt when you gonna fighting back. Let me see.

Zurich: *watching Romeo closer and gives it back to him*

Romeo: *points to the target and shoots in the middle of a hole twice* Face it, Zurich. A little special fashion.

Zurich: *looks at Romeo*

Romeo: *looks at Zurich and winks at him*

*later in that night*

*At Lyon's house*

Rico played table tennis with Tobey.

Tobey: How long do you keep hitting that ball?

Rico: Two minutes.

Tobey: Oh hell no, that was too short.

Rico: Tell me about it.

Claire: *returning home* I'm home.

Tobey: Hey.

Claire: Hey. *kisses his lips*

Tobey: *doing the same* I brought some coupons for you and then you can bring something and cookout for this summer.

Claire: Thanks.

Rico: How long you've been cooked, Uncle Tobey?

Tobey: 20 years. My dad was used me to cook for any food items that we bought.

Rico: It sounds easy.

Romeo: Who sounds easy? You? I'm playing with you. *laughs quietly*

Rico: Nice try, asshole.

Claire: Really, Rico?

Rico: Sorry.

*Meanwhile*

Pop: Here you go. *gives a milkshake to Alice*

Alice: Well, well, well. Gladys Jones. Classic.

Gladys: Sorry to disturb you. But we just being friends in a high school and we didn't go any further.

Alice: *hearing*

Gladys: Could you imagine becoming a real friend while we are old enough? The only thing is I heard a booming speaker from downstairs.

Alice: Oh, they have a special room (La Bon Nuit).

Gladys: Let me check it out. *comes downstairs and looks around* It looks like they are having another Whyte Worm around here.

Reggie: Hello? Can I help you with something? *sees Gladys while cleaning the glasses up*

Gladys: I'm just looking around.

Reggie: Ok.

Veronica: That's Jughead's mom, Gladys Jones. *quietly to Reggie*

Reggie: Are you sure?

Veronica: Yup. She's reuniting her family. I always felt really bad for my parents.

Reggie: Don't be. Let's be patient for the next two days. Be cool. Let's go get this fucking money. *smirks and continues to work*

Veronica: *hearing*

Zurich: Yeah. As long as we kept away from each other to the curfew.

Romeo: Also, we just working with some packages once a night. Foods, Hardware, Money, Ele-

Vanessa: Wait a minute, money?

Romeo: Yeah! Why not? We always feel like we could give out the money. We're trusting their instincts. Real money. All the costs couldn't be spent on all of it. Saved it up. We didn't spend that much as long as we add a little more money on the button. Also while we were not working, as we can hang around here while we're on break for hours.

Phoebe: *arrives* Hey! Why are we here?

Vanessa: Those two jackasses are working in here in one night.

Phoebe: *looks at them* Why could you guys get some rest for school by the time we headed back in two months left. Why are your parents worked in here at night?

Julie: Let's go.

Carter: *leaves*

*At Spencer's house*

Justin: I've been starting with this whole damn town. *playing cards with Bobby*

Bobby: What makes you say that?

Justin: Me. I gotta call for backup and we can settle this shit up for the new mayor this fall.

Bobby: Sounds good. Maybe the Lodges who runs the mayor still.

Justin: *sighs* Yeah, you might be right.

Bobby: I have never been snitched through the entire of my damn life. *beats Justin with the blackjack*

*At Fox Forest*

Kevin: I just want to be happy.

Zurich: You are happy. What's wrong with you?

Kevin: To be honest, I don't want to keep in touch with Fangs because we just had the first fight.

Zurich: Cruel. You wonder can be stuck around on his ass.

Kevin: Z? Everybody knows when I came out the bisexual, just before I started to kiss Moose. It was unbelievable.

Zurich: This is your fucking shot, Kev! You went fifty to a hundred. You're the better kissing and I'm gonna find a new relationship.

*At Whyte Worm*

Carter: *arrives and see Fangs*

Fangs: Yo. *clap hands to Carter*

Carter: *doing the same* I've got a question for you.

Fangs: I explained what happened to your father.

Carter: I'm not talking about my father. I'm talking about your lover.

Fangs: Look, we've been going through a hard time. I couldn't sleep, I was kept too much drinking, and I was hiking around in the forest nearby Greendale. This is sick.

Carter: You were smart enough to become Serpents. I'm the one who saved our lives. We don't enjoy it. I would leave you alone.

*At Pop's*

Jughead, FP, Alice, Gladys, and Jellybean sit with each other at the booth.

Gladys: Alice Smith, huh?

Alice: *looks at FP*

FP: *looks at Alice*

Gladys: That good-looking short stack was always being a bad girl. *looks at Alice* Why are you with Alice?

FP:..I've been sticking around with her for a while because Hal is started to get hyped up. You don't wanna miss everything. Hal is being sold out.

Gladys: Surprise, surprise.

Jellybean: He's banished? Did you kill him? *looks at FP*

Jughead: Relax, Jellybean.

Jellybean: It's JB now, Kid Kerouac.

Gladys: Jughead? There is something happening in Greendale?

Jughead: Most of it. Those dealers are taking their job done. It couldn't get a risk to the population. It was their attention and just make me sage.

Gladys: You're the Serpent King. I'm the one who can handle that town including your father.

FP: *hearing*

Alice: What is going to happen in Riverdale?

Gladys: You'll see. I got another meeting by the way. *stands up and leaves*

Alice: *hearing phone call and answers* Minka?

*At Minka's house*

Laura and Julie are holding their hands together and walk to the kitchen.

FP: *looks around and watches all of them of what they doing*

Alice: Well, it pretty seems Gladys would be protecting you, huh? In case, you won't forget. *shows him with her serpent tattoo on her arms*

FP: I realized that. It's there making interest in your tattoo of what I just made of?

Alice: You certainly did. All I want is for you to get involved romantic with Gladys.

FP: We're on and off relationships. I don't like to get copycat or anything. It's just pieces of shit inside of my head.

Alice: *hearing*

Hiram: I was like I'm about to win the mayor. And then, I'm gonna do what's right to the business of the town. Riverdale is getting really, really-

Hermione: Different position. All are you thinking that you could be upgraded with the Lodges and join the other donations later this year.

Hiram: I bet.

Alex: I would like to take a peek when I was looking at the fucking windows at the fire department and I was caught their thieves.

Julie: And then what happens?

Alex: It was nothing to mess with the truck. It was very clever to me. *smoking*

Julie: How come you been working this job?

Alex: A while. Either way, I would rather you come with me to the special room?

Julie: *smirks and kisses him*

Alex: *kisses her back*

Laura: Damn...this town is so cursed.

Justin: *drinks the cup*

Laura: I'm not gonna ruin my son for the rest of his life. I couldn't stand those people without my friends and look at all of these damn types of what they have.

Justin: Look, Laura, I know what you gonna say a whole thing. I wish I can stay here in this town so that I can drop out of the system and take one point away. But they don't know what to quit. What's happening next?

Laura: Anything but a crap. I need to do the exercise and pretty much work out with the nutrients.

Minka: Ok guys. Listen up! Fred and Mary were set their fireworks so what we get there in the grand opening as long as we start the limit. So tonight, I'm really missed all of you hanging out with me after we separated. The last time we met at the bar, it was a horrible story. I don't wanna go out alone to be creepy during the curfew. So, and now further adieu, I want to thank you to Fred and Mary Andrews! *claps her hands*

All: *claps their hands*


*One hour later*

The fireworks started and the grand opening for Town Hall Park same as Town Hall with the city hall.

Jughead's narrator: But until then, I'll see you around in the senior year. But..., maybe? Maybe not.

*flash-forward*

Jughead: Sean! Sean!

Archie: Sean!

Hope: SEAN! *walks with Betty*

Betty: Sean!

All the people are walking through the woods and they'll look for Sean while it kept screaming his name.
