It was cousin Betty's idea.

Normally, Cheryl would scoff at the mere thought of going anywhere with Betty Cooper and her hobo-like boyfriend, but, in the moment, the idea of doing anything that might piss off Penelope Blossom was appealing.

"It'll be fun, Cheryl, I promise." Betty smiled, her eyes pleading for the redhead to believe her. She was ashamed at her actions toward Cheryl, especially after the Sweetwater incident. "Veronica and Archie are coming too." the blonde added cheerfully.

Cheryl rolled her eyes. She liked Veronica, sometimes. Nonetheless, Varchie seriously overstepped some boundaries when it came to their PDA.

"Oh, and Juggie said something about inviting some of the serpents." Betty said quickly, patting Cheryl on the shoulder and moving around the other girl hurriedly. "Gotta get to class! See you on Saturday, we're meeting at the Pembrooke."

Cheryl sighed exasperatedly, desperately trying to refrain from stomping her foot like a child. Fine, she thought, spending time with Southside rabble would be sure to piss off mother anyway. That didn't mean she had to play nice.

…

Soft sunlight fell over the early morning streets of Riverdale, basking the Pembrooke and the giant RV parked outside of it in a soft glow.

"Damn," Sweet Pea whistled, "You Northsiders have it even better than I imagined."

"Not everyone lives in the goddamn Pembrooke, Sweets." Jughead deadpanned. "The Lodges are a special brand of rich."

Toni rolled her eyes, twisting and untwisting a hair tie around her fingers, "Well, they all sure act like they live like this."

Betty came up behind Jughead, wrapping her arms around his middle and leaning her head on his shoulder, "Play nice, Juggie. Veronica's my best friend, remember? And she was nice enough to offer up her father's RV for this impromptu road trip."

As though she'd been summoned, Veronica emerged from the doors of the Pembrooke, pulling one suitcase. Archie stumbled down the stairs behind her, carrying at least five more bags.

"Well," Veronica started, looking around at the small group of teenagers scattered around the stairway to the apartment complex, "Who's ready to rival Spring Breakers?"

Sweet Pea let out a whoop, Fangs clapping him on the shoulder and fist pumping.

"That's the spirit." Veronica grinned, turning to Betty. "Is everyone here?"

A familiar voice rang out from behind the trailer, "You can begin, the party is officially here."

Cheryl Blossom rounded the end of the RV, blood red luggage in tow, flipping her hair over her shoulder. The redhead removed her sunglasses, a sickeningly sweet smile plastered across her face, "Let's get this sad circus on the road, shall we?"

"You invited her?" Jughead growled through gritted teeth.

"Cheryl," Veronica cleared her throat, "Betty didn't tell me you'd be joining us." The raven haired girl shot Betty a dark look before smiling politely at the group, "Who's ready for a Breakfast Club-esque week?"

Fangs hollered, jumping onto Sweet Pea's back. Toni rolled her eyes, she loved her boys to death, but they sucked at picking up on social tension. The pick haired girl nudged Jughead, nodding her head toward Cheryl, "What's her deal?"

"Cheryl Blossom? She's an insane bitch, that's all you need to know. Stay away from her." Jughead sighed, "This is gonna be one interesting trip."

Toni furrowed her brow. She was never any good at listening to her friends advice as it was, and something about the way Jughead brushed off her question bothered her. Something was up with Cheryl, and she was going to find out what it was.

A/N:So this just came to me randomly and I decided to run with it. This story will have the core four in it as well as out four favorite serpents (the real core four). Even though all eight characters will be in it, it will most likley be very Choni centric. As usual, I don't own these chatacters and all mistakes are mine. Let me know what you think!
