So, the first chapter of my second story. Thanks for all of the support on my first one, I really appreciate it:) Even though I'm like the biggest Archie and Atlanta fan ever, this story is going to include a whole lot more Jay and Theresa as well as non-canon couples, please don't be mad at me. But you shouldn't be, cause that's not till later on anyway. Yah, so enjoy.
Two figures stood atop a cliff, cloaked in darkness, as the chilly midnight air ate at their bones. The night sounds of the city below muffled by the howling winds that circled in the air. The moon hanging in the sky providing what little light could be seen through the dense clouds.
One of the figures produced a bottle from the left breast pocket of his dark jacket. The clouds moved as he handed the bottle to the other figure, the brief glimpse of moonlight revealing the murky green liquid protected inside.
" All you have to do is pour a drop of this into two of their drinks" The first man explained.
" Which two?" the second figure questioned.
"A boy and a girl. The feisty red head they call Atlanta, and the leader they call Jay"
" That should be easy", the second figure said as it walked away and disappeared into the shadows. The first man opened a portal and retreated, ready to watch his master plan be put into action.
Five of the heroes sat in the living room, circled around the newly repaired television. It was movie night, and Odie had picked the movie in celebration of his legs finally healing. They stared at the screen as they watched a cheesy Sci Fi movie. Neil remained more interested in himself as he sat there inspecting his nails. Suddenly Archie and Atlanta burst through the door, panting from the race they had just finished.
" You know I let you win right?" Archie questioned in between breaths. He pecked Atlanta on her forehead. It felt so great to know that he could kiss her now, and not have to worry about needing to explain it. He loved being in a relationship almost as much as he loved her.
"What do you mean you let me win?" Atlanta demanded, the smile gone from her sweet face. She crossed her arms across her chest and waited for an answer.
" Just what I said, I let you win. I was being polite. After all you are my girlfriend now" Archie tried to explain. He truly hated it when Atlanta got angry like this.
"Polite, my ass!" She replied as she stared him down.
"How about I make it up to you. Rematch?" Archie questioned while he proceeded to make a puppy dog face. Atlanta could never say no to him when he made that face, he was such a dork. Besides they fought like this all the time. It was stupid and Archie was just too adorable to ignore.
"Fine then" Atlanta said as she wrapped her arms around Archie and looked up at him and a wide mischievous grin spread on her face.
" Oh boy, what are you thinking?" Archie asked with some concern. Atlanta leaned forwards and placed her lips next to Archie's ear and whispered something that made him blush a deep red. He turned his head and whispered a reply back into Atlanta's ear. The two grabbed each other's hands and headed back out the door for another run.
" I'm so happy that they finally got together. They are just too cute" Theresa pointed out to the rest of the group.
"I guess so, but they're not as cute as me" Neil added as he continued to check his nails to make sure that his manicure hadn't chipped.
" Yes, Neil not as cute as you" Theresa sarcastically responded.
"Thank you, it's good to know that you realize just how beautiful I am" Herry, Odie and Jay chuckled at the vanity of their narcissistic friend.
" I'm gonna go get some popcorn" Theresa mentioned as she got up and traveled to the kitchen. While the popcorn was in the microwave she started thinking. She normally wasn't the jealous type, but seeing Archie and Atlanta so happy and in a relationship had made her start to think. She desperately wished that Jay would just admit his feelings for her already. Sure, they had kissed that day at the beach when she had tried to destroy the gods, but that didn't count. Jay never even mentioned it afterwards. Yah, sometimes there were small things. A gaze here and there, holding hands, hugs, but that meant nothing. They had never actually started a relationship. As if he was reading her mind, Jay walked into the kitchen.
Please, please, please pretty please be in here because you want to tell me you love me like I love you. Theresa thought.
" Um", Jay awkwardly started, "Seeing Archie and Atlanta has kinda got me thinking, um, about us," Jay admitted.
" Me too" Theresa replied. Her heart skipped a beat; Jay was finally going to ask her out after all this time.
" I think that we should just remain friends, I don't want to ruin what we already have," Jay blurted out, but he instantly regretted it. The hope and large smile on Theresa's face was replaced with disappointment and sadness.
" Oh, yah I totally understand" She replied even though she knew she didn't understand his reasoning at all. She gave him the popcorn and traveled upstairs to her room, wondering what exactly had made him question all the signs and chemistry they obviously had. Theresa sat on her bed, wishing that she had the power to read minds too.
Ah, young love=sooo cute. Anyways, hope you enjoyed it. It's vacation week finally, so I'll probably update a ton in the next week. Enjoy, and please comment:)
