When the school day was over Betty, Nikki, and Veronica went to Pop's to discuss the Semi-Formal.
" The dance is literally tomorrow night and I still don't have a dress," Betty whined.
" Just borrow one of mine," Veronica said, " You know I have more than enough."
Nikki laughed at the scene unfolding before her, " Boo hoo cry me a river. You don't have a dress, I don't have a date."
" You sure about that? Because , Archie is single and everyone in school thinks you two are dating," Betty joked.
"Oh god we're just friends" said Nikki "plus I don't think he likes me like that if anything we would maybe be like brother and sister."
" Okay. Who are you trying to convince us or you?" Veronica asked leaning closer to her.
" You two, because I don't think he sees me like that."
" Like what?" Betty asked wondering what was going through her cousins head.
" As his…" she took a pause not what to be thinking about Archie and the word girlfriend in the same sentence.
Veronica interrupted her train of thought, " As his what?"
" Girlfriend," she finally blurted out.
" Now was that so hard," Veronica asked leaning back in her seat and smirking.
" The whole school ships you two together, so go for it. What's the worst that could happen?" Betty said to the slightly younger blonde across from her.
" What's the worst that can happen? Hmm.. let's think shall we. My whole world could explode around me and if it ends our friendship would be ruined."
Veronica laughed, " and I thought I was dramatic," She joked.
" Oh bite me! Serpents and Northsiders don't mix, Betty. You should know that by now."
" Nikki you'll never know if you don't give it a chance."
" Betty's right," Nikki gave Veronica a confused look, " People miss 90% of chances they are given."
" What about the other 10%," she asked snarkily.
" The other 10% are not important. They don't matter at the moment. What matters is finding you a date and a dress on such short notice."
" If I say yes, will you two leave me alone?" Nikki asked her tone implying she was irritated.
" Yes!" they said in unison. Nikki sighed as Veronica stood up and dragged her out of the left the money on the table and went with her cousin and friend outside.
When the three girls pulled up to Veronica's house the car stopped. The man driving got out of the car and opened the door for them. Veronica got out first, then Betty who stared at the house in awe. Nikki got out last, unimpressed by the rich girl from New York's house. Veronica lead the girls inside her house and up the stairs to her room.
" Wow," Betty said in awe. The room had the walls painted white, lavender curtains covered the white and clear windows. Nikki looked around and saw a walk in closet. Her eyes widened,
" How many dress do you have?" she asked.
Ronnie thought for a minute, um.. a lot. I lost track awhile ago," she replied back, " anyway let's find you a dress. I was thinking either black or red would look amazing on you. Any suggestions?" She said walking over to her closet.
" I'm just doing this to shut you two up." She stated sitting down on Veronica's bed. Ronnie looked behind her and saw Nikki sitting on her bed. She sighed at first and walked into her closet. A few minutes later when she walked back out she had four dresses in her hand. Three black and one red. She held them out to the blonde wanting her to try them on. Nikki sighed before taking them and going in the bathroom. The first one she tried on was the red dress. The red one was long, with thin sleeves, and friled waist with a slit in the leg. She walked out and Veronica shook her head and Nikki went back into the bathroom. The next one she tried on was one of the black ones. This one was short, it's was sleeveless, and had sparkedled lace on the chest. She walked out again and Veronica shrugged. Nikki went back in to try on another black one. This one was long, had sleeves off the shoulders, and had a slit in the leg. She went back into Veronica's room to see what she thought. She got the same response as last time. The last one she tried on was black, it was sleeveless, and was long in the front and short in the back. When she asked Veronica's jaw dropped she snapped Betty's shoulder to get her attention.
Betty turned her head and looked shocked, " wow! Nikki you look amazing."
" That's the dress. Now leave Andrews to me," Veronica said standing up and smirking.
