Chapter 21
It was a warm fall evening. The young Serpent men plus Kevin and Fred had decided to meet up at ConKord for a drink as the Serpent girls were meeting up at Toni's cabin for a girls-only sleepover. Jug, Archie, Chaz, Fang, Tank, Joaquin, Kevin and Fred were enjoying themselves talking to FP who was working the bar when Sweetpea ran in panicked.
"Jug, we have a problem. The girls have gone rogue."
"What are you talking about Pea; they are having a girls night at Toni's?"
"No man, that's what they told you. When I was getting on my bike to come here I overheard them talking. Betty has tracked down that Laurie Lake chic, apparently she lives over in Buckhill. Our Queen is leading Cheryl, Toni, Dani and Sheila to go give her a warning. Veronica and Jos are going with them."
"Shit. Do you know where in Buckhill they are heading?" Sweetpea nodded.
"Okay, let's go stop our Queen from doing something stupid. You coming too Kev, Archiekins?" Archie and Kevin nodded following the serpents out of the bar. Before Jughead could follow FP grabbed his wrist.
"Some advice boy, don't lose sight of the end game. I know she has gone off the deep end, she's like her mother. Don't make the same mistake I did by joining her with the crazy. If you do you'll lose her."
"Thanks, Dad." Fred looked at Jughead as he left.
"God it's like looking at you and Alice sometimes with those two."
"Yeah, tell me about it. I have loved Alice since we were kids but now I live with three of her. It's enough to drive me to drink."
"But you're NOT are you?" FP raised his eyebrow.
"I'm still alive, aren't I? No, I'm nearly 5 months clean. It might be crazy as hell in our house, let's face it with parents like us the kids were never going to be anything else, but I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Well I've got some catching up to do with the Joneses but I've got two teens living with me. I can't believe Hiram would try to mess with his own daughter's life so much to pay some girl to try and to seduce our boys. Veronica hit the roof when she walked into The Pembrooke, that Laurie girl raving he owed her more money cause Dingo had crushed her car for messing with boys. She grabbed all her stuff and rang me to pick her up."
"You would think a man in his forties would have better things to do with his time. I can't believe you are letting them shack up. I know Betty and Jug share a room but they are usually more private with their sex life than Red and V."
"Why do you think I'm letting them? I don't want to be scared into walking into my own house without seeing the two of them having sex. Remind me to drop that blind around to yours, I don't EVER want to see Betty's ass again."
"Count yourself lucky that you saw it from afar. I walked into their room to see Jug's bare ass ploughing into her. Like I said enough to drive me to drink."
Jug and the serpents followed Tank, Kevin and Archie in Tank's truck. He was trying to keep in mind what his dad had said but he was fuming. He of all people knew how dark the serpent girls could get but with Cheryl, the live wire Bombshell there to add fuel to the fire things could get out of hand VERY quick. He just hoped that Josie could be the voice of reason. They pulled up to a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere with the girls shouting at Laurie who was shouting back at them from a first storey window.
"YOU too scared to come down and face us you whoring bitch!"
"You picked the wrong guys to try and steal this time."
Cheryl stood not far from Betty and Veronica who were shouting the abuse the loudest with her arrow drawn while the other serpent girls had the knives out. Josie was shouting like the rest of them. So much for her calming influence.
The guys stood watching waiting for Jug to make the first move.
"You know if they weren't two steps from getting themselves arrested it would be pretty hot our girls fighting for our honour." Jug looked at his oldest friend in disbelief.
"Only you Archie Andrews. Right guys you grab your own girls, throw them over your shoulder if you have to. Tank you take Cheryl and Kevin you handle Toni. Hopefully, once I get Betty to back down the others will follow."
"Thanks, man leave me with Psycho Bombshell."
"Tank you're ten times her size. Don't tell me you can't handle little miss Blossom."
"If I lose an eye you can tell Polly and Juniper."
Jughead marched over to his Queen with the other men flanking on both sides.
"ELIZABETH JONES BACK DOWN." The girls turned around when they heard his voice.
"DON'T ELIZABETH JONES ME FORSYTHE. THAT WHORE NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON."
"YEAH BUT AT WHAT COST? ALL OF YOU IN JUVIE? NORTHWESTERN IS GOING TO LOVE THAT ON YOUR APPLICATION. THE REST OF YOU GO HOME." The girls started to stomp over to their vehicles. Veronica and Josie stood their ground.
"You can't order us around Jughead. We're not serpents you're not OUR King."
"In the name of all things holy Veronica DON'T push me, I'm not in the mood. Don't forget I sliced the Snake Charmers tattoo right off without flinching cause I was pissed." Archie and Sweetpea grabbed their girls before things got even more out of hand.
"Now my Queen, are you driving yourself or are you riding with me?"
"I can drive myself."
Within the hour everyone arrived safely back at their homes. Jughead climbed into bed with his love who immediately turned her back on him. He moved to spoon her, tugging her close. He kissed her cheek.
"My Juliet. What do I do with you? I understand you were just trying to scare her, which I think you accomplished that, but you put all of yourselves at risk. You could have thrown your future away just because Hiram Lodge is a meddling turd, making him the winner of his little game. I might not like your actions tonight but I love you."
