Saturday morning, a week left before school starts, Betty finds herself with nothing to do. She sits at the front porch, thinking of something, anything to while away her time. Its one of those days when Chick, her elder brother is out bonding with his middle school friends. "I guess Polly's out too with her boyfriend.." Ever since Polly started highschool, Betty hardly has any time to talk to her. If she's not on the phone talking to her boyfriend or chatting with her friends, she's hanging around at the Chock'lit Shoppe. Chock'lit Shoppe is a popular hangout for highschool students of Riverdale High.

"I wonder where Archie is.." wonders Betty as she thought about their conversation yesterday. She was coming back home after hanging around with the girls at Nancy's house when she met Archie and Jughead.

"Hey Bets, what's up?" asked Arch. Juggie has his hand inside a bag full of candy.

"Hey Arch. Juggie! You better set up a dentist appointment after you finish that. Don't you at least wanna share? " asked Betty, shocked at her friend's love for sweets.

"Since you and Arch are my two best friends, you both can have a piece." said Jughead.

"Gee Juggie, how generous of you.." Arch said hiding a smirk. "Hey Bets, we're heading to Pickin's Park, wanna join us?"

"Nahh.. Nancy and Midge were experimenting with nail polish. Me and Ethel are the unwilling victims. I can't play ball yet. These nails need to dry out." Betty tried to hide her disappointment. She really wants to play ball with Archie and Jughead.

"Hmmm.. maybe we can play tomorrow. Or maybe we can have a picnic at the lake! I'll call the others." said Archie.

"Hey that's cool! I'll call the girls. I'll take care of the sandwiches." Betty said excitedly.

"And I'll bring my stomach!" said Jughead.

When Betty got home, she immediately got on the phone and called Nancy.

"Sorry Bets, I wish I can go. But my Mom will be taking me to the mall tomorrow. Need to buy new clothes before the school starts. How about Midge and Ethel?" Betty then called the other girls.

"Sorry Bets, my parents and I will be visiting my grandparents. How about the next day?" said Midge.

"Oh no Bets, my dad wants me to go with him to the Vet to take Luggie." Luggie is Ethel's pet golden retriever. She named it after Juggie.

Betty is still wondering if they can continue with the picnic with just the three of them when the phone rang.

"Bets.." Juggie was groaning, and it sounds like he's in a lot of pain. "I'm sorry, I can't go to the picnic tomorrow. Ow! I have a very bad toothache and my mom's gonna take me to the dentist. Can you save some of those sandwiches for me?" Betty almost laughed at what she heard. Even though Jughead's in a lot of pain, all he can think about is food!

Betty was startled from her thoughts of yesterday's phone call with Jughead when she heard someone call her name.

"Hey Bets! Whatchu doin?" She saw Reggie coming up her front porch with something in hand.

"I was waiting for Archie. We were planning to have a picnic today when we met yesterday. Didn't he call you? He said he was gonna call you guys." asked Betty.

"Nope. Haven't heard from him."

"Well I guess the picnic's pretty much cancelled. The other kids are either with their moms at the mall or visiting a relative. What's that in your hand?"
asked Betty eyeing Reggie's hand.

"New video game my dad bought for me. I'm heading over at Chuck's house to try it out. Wanna join? If, you're any good!" snickered Reggie. He wonders whether Betty's any good at video games.

"Nahh.. Maybe I'll just wait for Arch.." Betty doesn't want to spend her time hearing Reggie bragging.

"OK.. Call us at Chuck's if the picnic's still on." said Reggie as he waved goodbye.

Betty's still out at the front porch waiting for Archie when she saw Archie's dad Fred come out of the house next door. He entered their car and brought it to life, then drove out of the garage. She then saw Archie come running out of their front porch and entered the car. Archie noticed her and waved.

"Sorry Bets, my Dad will be hammering around at the basement today and he want's me to help. We're building a dresser for my mom. Maybe some other time?" Archie waved goodbye as they sped off.

"Great! Now I'm all alone again. Maybe I should have gone with Reggie to Chuck's!" Betty fumed as she sat down at the front porch, still with nothing to do.

As Reggie rang the bell at Chuck's house, he was wondering why he didn't take the shortcut to his destination. Maybe he was thinking of pranking someone, Archie or Jughead, or maybe even Betty, since he will be passing their house on the way to Chuck's. "Well, there's still one week to go before school starts." whispered Reggie to himself.

Reggie was surprised when he saw Chuck as he opened the front door. "Chuck! What happened to your arm?" Reggie eyed the sling that is supporting Chuck's arm.

"Well, uh, I didn't take the shortcut yesterday from your home. And uh.." hesitated Chuck as he looked at his arm.

"Let me guess, Nance is lounging around at her front yard again huh?" Reggie fought back a laugh at his friend's effort to show off for Nancy.

"Hey, how did you know? Anyway, I wouldn't be able to play that new video game with you Reg. Sorry.. My mom's pretty mad about what happened." said Chuck. "And I'm also grounded until school starts."

"Aw, that's bad. Let that be a lesson to you. That's what you get for showing off to a girl. Why not let the girl show off for you and not the other way around!" said Reggie as he slapped the other arm of his friend. Chuck rolled his eyes at his friend.

"One week of vacation left and you go breaking your arm!" Reggie shook his head. "Call me if your Mom eases up at the your grounding."

Reggie headed back to his house and decided to pass Betty's. Maybe he can invite Betty to his house to play the game. What's the point of playing when you don't have anyone to show off to?

As he pass Betty's front porch, he saw her still sitting at the same spot when he talked to her earlier. "I guess the picnic's off huh? Li'l Archie found something better to do?" he teased Betty as he approached her.

"His dad's got a project and decided to let him help. A dresser or something for his mom. I guess can find something better to do too than talk to you!" Betty said as she got up from her sitting position.

"Just kidding Bets! Hey, Chuck's grounded, and I got this new video game. Wanna try it with me?" he asked Betty.

"Hmmm.. do I really wanna spend the whole day with you just bragging around and showing off? Nahhh.. I think I can find something better to do!" said Betty.

"Ookkaayy.. If you wanna spend your day with Caramel then suit yourself!" said Reggie as he eyed Betty's cat sleeping beside her feet. Reggie walked down at Betty's front porch, and as he passed the mailbox, he heard her call out.

"Um Reggie! Uhh.. if I play that new video game with you, will you promise that you won't brag any chance you get?" Reggie turned around and looked at Betty.

"Hmmm.. how about twice per hour?" teased Reggie.

"Once! Give or take!" Betty said.

"Alright! You're no fun at all." Reggie's mood began to lighten as he saw Betty put Caramel inside the house and call out to her Mom to say goodbye. "I'll just get my bike Reg!" He watched her going to the garage. A second later, Betty was at his side riding her bike.

"I just hope you don't bore me with your average playing." Reggie started to tease Betty again as he quickened his pace to keep up with her bike.

"Yeah yeah. Let's just hurry up to your house before I change my mind!" Betty said as she sped off to Reggie's house, leaving Reggie at the sidewalk. He smiled as he shook his head, and started to run to his house to chase Betty.
