The Yearly 365 Challenge

Prompt #1 [Location] Whyte Wyrm

"Thank you for meeting me here." Veronica rested against the back of the chair.

FP glared into the steady brown eyes of the teenage girl across from him. "You didn't give me any other choice little girl."

A slow smirk lifted the right side of her lip. "I'm not a little girl."

FP's eyes slowly ran down the young girl's form then back up to meet her eyes. "Seems to me like you are." He folded his arms across the table. "Seems like you are trying to play a big girls game … which you aren't doing a good job at."

"Are you quite done. Mr. Jones?" Veronica sighed wearly.

"Why has your daddy told you to tell me?" FP sighed getting back to the true business of this meeting.

Darkness covered her eyes. "I'm not here at my father's bidding." Her lips drew a firm line. "Never again will I do my father's dirty work for him."

"Then why this meeting?" FP was curious now.

"Stop chasing Alice Smith." Veronica ordered in a firm voice.

FP's body tightened.

"Leave Alice to Hal. That's where she belongs after all." Veronica nodded firmly.

"If I don't?" FP asked in a stonly voice.

"Then I'll make sure your children will never ever think kindly of you ever again." Veronica leaned forward. "Don't you see FP that I have better plans for you." Her right eye brow rose.

FP swallowed. "What are you after little girl?"

Veronica smiled. "I want you to marry my mother."

FP's eyes widen. "You are joking right?" His heart beat faster.

"No I am not." Veronica leaned forward. "I know about your past with my mother; FP. I feel now the time is truly right for you to finally win the true love your soul."

"It's too late." FP whispered. "It's much much too late." He shook his head.

"My parents divorce will be final in another four months." Veroncia spoke.

FP sighed. "Hermione won't turn to me." He leaned back against the back of the chair. "Even if she did want to pick up where we left off … too much time has happened. I have done so much worse stuff since the last time we were together." He shook his head. "It's much to dangerous for us to even think of getting together. Not just for her; but you and my kids."

Fire and hate filled Veronica's eyes. "But you have no problem putting Betty, Polly, Chic through that danger … or Dagwood and Jupiter!" She stood to her feet and leaned agianst the table. "Like I said FP … leave Alice Smith alone. I won't repeat this ever again."

FP looked up into the steady and hard eyes of the Veronica Lodge. "I'll leave Alice alone. I won't allow any harm to come to her children or grandchildren through my dealings outside of the law."

"To late FP. It's far too late for your promises." Veroncia snared. "Sides Betty is still in danger due to whom Alice Smith is." She breathed in a bated breath. "The only way I can protect Betty is to have you as my stepfather."

FP silently watched as she stood straight once more; and turned and walked towards the door. He swallowed as he began to form his plans on how to protect Hermione; Veronica; his children and Alice and Hal's children.
