Chapter 6
The following morning, Betty woke up to Jughead playing with her snake necklace.
"Having fun there Jug?"
"Sorry, just admiring it. It's beautiful; I've not seen it before."
"FP got it for me yesterday. He caught me looking at it when we were buying a necklace for Jellybean so he decided to get it when I wasn't looking. I know he hasn't always been the best dad to you or Jellybean but he's determined he is going to be from now on to all of us."
"Do I need to worry that you are going to stage a coup to overthrow me? First Dingo, now Dad, who is going to be next in your master plan?"
"Very funny. Dingo almost wet himself when your Dad reminded him that I was Alice Smith's daughter. I also found out something very interesting about our parents High School dates."
"What did you discover? Please don't tell me Dad told you about the places they hooked up?"
"JUGHEAD! No, he didn't. He took me for afternoon tea; apparently, he used to take Mom all the time in High School. It was one of their favourite things to do. It reminded me of our tea parties with Archie."
"ARGGG. You told him, didn't you? He is going to use that against me now."
The two young lovers grabbed some breakfast then headed to Toni's cabin by the river. It was time for Betty to get her tattoo. After seeing Alice's Serpent tattoo the other night she knew exactly what she wanted.
When they pulled up outside the cabin, Fang, Sweetpea and Toni came running out.
"Is that a 1957 Triumph TRW 500 Canadian Military?"
"Yes, it is. My new Daddy brought it for my coronation present." The young Serpents looked very confused.
"New Daddy?"
"Yeah, Dad and Alice are getting married once their divorces come through so we are moving into their house." Sweetpea looked even more confused (if that was even possible).
"So doesn't that make you brother and sister? What does that mean for you?" Jughead was already feeling annoyed with how this conversation was going; unfortunately, this was just the beginning.
"Actually it will make us step-siblings. As for our relationship, it doesn't change a thing. The only way it would be if either Alice adopted me or FP adopted Betty then that would make us siblings. If that happened we couldn't get married so they're not adopting either of us. So we are fine." Toni decided to step in before things got out of hand, she could tell Jughead was getting wound up which never ended well.
"Hey, Betts. What do I owe the pleasure of the visit? Just come to show off your radical hog?" Betty gave Toni a relieved smile. She appreciated that she was trying to defuse the situation.
"In fact, we came to ask if you could do my Serpent tattoo. I've finally had some inspiration thanks to my Mom." Jughead began to rub his eyes.
"EW, EW, EW." The young serpents looked at their king with questioning looks. Betty spoke up before any of them could ask.
"You don't want to know. We are negotiating the payment of a Therapist for both of us after what we saw."
"OHHHH." Fang chuckled. "FP the dirty dog. Respect your Mom is hot." Jugs glared at Fang.
"FANG. NOT OKAY MAN."
"Calm down guys. Shall we move this inside Betts?" The young serpents moved to go inside Toni's home. At the last-minute, Jughead blocked the way for Sweetpea and Fang.
"You two are NOT going to be in there while she's having this done. It's in a place you DON'T need to see." When they both looked like they were going to protest Jughead slammed the door in their faces.
"Forsythe Pendleton Jones III don't you go breaking my door!"
"Come here Juggy." Betty held his hand to calm him down.
"So where do you want your mark?"
"I want it on my upper right thigh so only our King will see it. Also, could I have it in baby blue? It's become my signature colour."
"Not a problem. You lie on your front on the sofa while I get what I need. Jughead you hold her hand up top so your cranky ass doesn't get in my way."
An hour later found the young serpents riding their bikes along the country roads heading to Dingo's workshop. When they pulled up Dingo came running out.
"My Queen you have returned to me!"
Jughead removed his helmet. Why were they all trying to test his patience today?
"DINGO!"
"OH, Jughead I didn't see you there. Betty, I hope there isn't a problem with my work." Betty snickered at the older man's antics.
"Not at all Dingo. I was just telling the other young Serpents about the fantastic job you did restoring her. I was wondering if you could have a look at Fang's bike, I think he has a clogged air filter."
"No problem my Queen. Pull it inside son I'll have a look." Jughead growled as Dingo moved into the garage with the other serpents. His partner moved into his arms and kissed him.
"What has got into you today? You've gone into testosterone overload being ridiculously overprotective."
"I don't know. It feels like something is on the horizon. I wasn't going to let those dim wits get their rocks off while you had your ass on show."
"I get that but Dingo? He is just trying to make me laugh and make me feel welcome. He's got my back so surely that is a good thing."
"I know. I just don't want to lose you or people to start questioning what we are, making it sound dirty and seedy."
"You're not going to lose me. Who cares what other people think? We know the truth, that's what matters. Let's leave them to it and go to Pops to meet up with Varchie."
Since Archie had been acquitted of murder things had been stained between Archie and Veronica. Veronica agreed that her father had gone too far framing Archie although she believed Archie had provoked him by visiting him at The Pembroke the night before he was arrested. Archie didn't accept that view, he couldn't see how Veronica could still live under the same roof as her parents after all they had done. Their friends were expecting them to part ways any day.
Archie looked out of the windows.
"I don't know if they'll show. Jughead has been AWOL the last few days. Something is going on."
"Don't be ridiculous Archiekins. He and Betty are probably enjoying their summer having sex like rabbits." Just then the Serpent King and Queen pulled up.
"WOW! Is that Betty on a 1957 Triumph TRW 500 Canadian Military?" Veronica looked out the window to see what Archie was looking at.
"I'm going to say yes because I have no clue what a 1957 Triumph TRW 500 Canadian Military is?"
Betty and Jughead entered the diner and sat next to their best friends.
"What's with the hog B? Are you embracing the Serpent Queen to the full?" God Jughead hated Veronica at times like this. She could be such a privileged Bitch. What on earth Betty and Archie saw in her was beyond him.
"FP brought it for her so she would be safer than riding on the back of my bike all the time."
"Oh. Okay."
"Where have you been the last couple of days Jug? What's going on?"
"Nothing bad, honestly. Just a lot has happened in the last 48 hours. Our lives have completely changed, but for the better."
"Pray do tell Mr Jones. You have piped my interest."
Both Jughead and Betty told their story, how they had caught their parents having sex on the dining room table, their parents' engagement, them being allowed to share a room, their shared older half-brother, as well as their day spent with their new parent.
"In conclusion, Betty and I will be step-siblings NOT siblings. Alice is not adopting me nor is FP adopting Betty so our relationship doesn't change. It's not incest, perverse or unlawful just two couples who love each other."
The other three teens glanced at Jughead with open mouths after his tirade. Archie decided to try to clarify some other questions he had.
"So let me get this right. You went downstairs thinking someone had broken in but to find FP and Alice bent over the table having sex."
"Yep, like they didn't have a care in the world."
"Well, I for one think it's sweet that they have found their way back to each after all these years." Jughead's phone began to ring.
"Dad, everything okay?"
"Yeah, son. You both need to come back to the house now."
"What is it, Dad? Is it the Ghoulies? Do you want me to rally the Serpents?"
"No kiddo, I don't need you to get the Serpents. It's not the Ghoulies, it's your Mom and Jellybean, they've have come back."
"Sorry guys. We've got to go. My Mom and Jellybean have shown up."
To make things clear, after the season 2 finale Sierra McCoy pulled some strings for the Serpents and got planning for them to live in cabins/huts by Sweetwater River at the site where Jughead was made King in the finale. I know realistically this wouldn't happen but I couldn't have them all living in Fred Andrew's yard. What on earth could Gladys want?
