"So what's with Archie? He didn't show up for study group yesterday or today." Jughead as he is sitting with Alexis and Betty in the diner.

"And he missed the deadline for his Weird Mystery Article." Betty says.

"Yeah. It is odd. Veronica hasn't exactly acted right either. She seemed... paranoid this morning when I talked to her on the phone then she just hung up on me." Alexis says.

"If you ask me Archie's become his own weird mystery. He doesn't pay attention to anyone but veronica." Jughead says as he eats a burger.

"He doesn't eat, doesn't sleep, he looks terrible." Betty says as Alexis nods.

"Yeah. It's like he's turned into Veronica's zombie." Jughead says.

"So what are we going to do?" Betty asks before Veronica comes walking over.

"Veronica!" Alexis says before Veronica shushes her.

"Do you want him to find me?" Veronica asks fearfully.

"Who?" Betty asks.

"Archie. He's driving me nuts. I can't stand it!" Veronica says.

"Admit it. You did something to Archie." Betty says.

"Veronica what did you do?" Alexis asks.

"Okay, okay! I gave him this. Magic salt." Veronica says as she pulls out a thing on salt and puts it on the table.

"Yeah right. You're starting to sound nuttier than Archie's articles." Betty says in disbelief.

"No! Really! Alexis you believe me don't you?" Veronica asks as she looks at Alexis who gives an unsure look.

"I don't know Veronica. This is kind of out there." Alexis says before the group hears pounding and sees Archie outside the window.

"Veronica!" Archie shouts.

"Aah!" Veronica shouts in alarm.

"Veronica!" Archie shouts.

"Do you believe her magic salt story?" Jughead asks.

"No. Ronnie will say anything to get attention." Betty says.

"Large fries. They're on the house." Pop says as he brings over some fries.

"You want some too Pop?" Jughead asks as he and Betty except for Alexis eat some fries.

"Sure. What harm could it do?" Pop asks as he eats some fries along with other customers.

"Veronica wait!" Alexis shouts as she sees the salt shaker Veronica put down and grabs it before seeing Veronica leave and runs out after her.

*Timeskip*

"I-I don't have it! I must have let it at Pop's Shoppe." Veronica says as Alexis finds her at Lucinda's with Lucinda asking for the salt shaker.

"What?! You left it where other people could taste it ?" Lucinda asks in alarm.

"Lucinda do you mean this?" Alexis asks as she goes into the cabin with the salt shaker and quickly shut and locks the door behind her.

"Alexis you came to help me. Thank you!" Veronica says happily as she runs over and hugs Alexis.

"Don't thank me yet. Archie and everyone followed me here. They're acting crazy like they're all in love with you Vernonica." Alexis says as she looks at Veronica.

"Wait. You didn't taste it did you?" Veronica asks worriedly.

"No." Alexis says.

"Oh thank goodness." Veronica says in relief.

"Well glad to see not all you kids are irresponsible." Lucinda says as she looks at Alexis.

"You two know each other?" Veronica asks curiously.

"Wolfy here occasionally comes out to keep me company. Met her when she was little." Lucinda says as alexis nods.

"What's that?!" Veronica asks as the group hears people outside.

"Your fan club." Lucinda says.

"Veronica what did Lucinda tell you to do?" Alexis asks worriedly as she looks at Veronica.

"You two get out of here. I don't want my home wrecked. Go ring the bell at the school before dawn." Lucinda says as Alexis nods and shifts to wolf form.

"But they'll catch me." Veronica says worriedly.

"Not with Wolfy they won't. She's faster than she looks." Lucinda says as she prepares to unlock the door.

"Come on Veronica." Alexis says as Veronica hesitantly gets on her back.

"I don't know Alexis. Is this safe?" Veronica asks.

"Wanna stay with the zombies?" Alexis asks.

"Nope." Veronica says as Lucinda unlocks the door.

"Then come on." Alexis says as she runs out the door with Veronica as Lucinda opens the door.
