Tuesday, January 27- At Pop's
Veronica watched Jughead chomping burgers like there was no tomorrow. She would have loved to have those expensive Swiss chocolates her dad bought recently without worrying about her figure. "You know, you're lucky...I wish I could eat as much as you and not gain an ounce."
Jughead looked up at her watching him enviously."Why don't you?"
"Are you crazy? I would hate being overweight - boys wouldn't notice me." Veronica replied.
"I don't."
"I know..You wouldn't care how the girl looked, right?"
He shook his head. "Probably not. I would want a girl who cooks all the time."
Veronica thought about Betty, her best friend. Betty liked cooking...Hey, maybe if I set up Jughead with Betty, Archie and I get to be together all the time..."Why not Betty? She's a good cook."
"Well, I don't know.." was the reply.
"Come on! You and Betty would get along great!" Veronica pushed."And I'll give you fifty dollars in restaurant gift cards if you ask Betty out." She knew Jughead could never refuse food.
"Well, all right.." Jughead replied.
At the Lodge mansion
"Daddy, can I have money for the movie tickets?" Veronica asked her father, who was relaxing in his armchair reading the newspaper.
"Again?" was Hiram Lodge's reply.
Veronica took this as a sign meaning a firm no. "Oh….okay". She went over to the telephone to call Archie.
"Hi, Archiekins. Dad refused to give me the money…"
"Oh….well….Can I come over?" was Archie's reply.
"Sure, I'll get Smithers know you're coming."
Hiram Lodge had been listening to the telephone conversation and frowned. He disliked everything about Archie - his manners, his class, his clumsiness, his tendency to break expensive things, his car, his being late everytime...Even though he didn't approve of Archie as his daughter's boyfriend, he decided to let them go to the movies. At least there would be peace around the Lodge mansion."Okay, here's the money.."
