Riverdale, parker residence (10 hours till the dance) (Peters pov):
Morning is here, today is the day for the back-to-school formal dance thing, I have to ask May to drive me to Josies house, and then hopefully Josies mom will drive us to the dance.
My phone buzzed, it was Josie
Josie: morning Peter, my mom can drive us to the dance, so thats covered, see you tonight.
Peter: Great my aunt will drop me off at your house at five a clock, and then I can meet your mom, and then we can maybe grab a bite to eat.
Josie: well about the eating before the dance my mom kinda wanna cook, so are you still interested in coming over?
Peter: sure, as long as its better than Mays cooking i'm all for it.
Peter: by the way dont tell May I said that our she might kill me.
Josie: ohhh, so what your saying is I have your faith in my hands? 3:)
Peter: well not enteriely, but good to know your not below black mail, dang Josie you hurt me /3
Josie: oh dont be like that Peter, i'm just kidding, dang I have to pratice with melody and valerie, see you tonight

Another buzz from my phone, it was veronica.
Ronnie: Hey petey, I need to talk to you about something
Petey: sure, whats up Ronnie?
Ronnie: well it was something about last night at the dinner
Dang, dang, dang, she had noticed something.
Petey: what happend at the dinner last night?, other than the ball that went through the front entrance of pops, did something happend after I left?
Ronnie: no nothing happend after you left, its just that ball, petey how did you move out of the way?
Peter: well I guess I was just lucky or something, Ronnie what is this?
Ronnie: its just, from where I sat you couldnt have seen it or them
Peter: Ronnie, I knew those guys were trying to do something which is why I was on guard, and pretend not to, but I was onguard, and moved because its nothing the guys from my previous school hadnt done before
Ronnie: oh okay, sorry to hear about that, any way I'll see you tonight
Peter: yeah see you tonight Ronnie, save me a dance?
Ronnie: oh you know I will handsome
A small blush crept up onto my cheek, and well that went good I think shes gonna drop it now, right?
Meanwhile at the Pembrooke (veronicas pov)
Yeah petey, i'm not falling for that, not one bit, i'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
Riverdale parker residence (2 hours before meeting Josie) (Peters pov)
I dont think I need a shower, I showered last night, *sniff* *sniff*, phew okay I need to shower.
1/2 hour later, i was done showering, I have gotten my perfume on, not Mays this time (dont look at me like that, I used it once and was known as lavender parker for a year, before they started calling me penis parker, okay I guess lavender parker is better than penis parker afterall, yeah call me lavender instead).
I dressed up in what I would like to say is semi formal clothes, a white dress shirt, black jeans, black shoes and a red suit jacket, and i'm starting to get ready for the meeting, well it Sounds like i'm about to go into a business meeting, which I kinda am.
Parker residence (1 hour to meeting Josie):
So i'm ready, well physically ready, not mentaly, i'm still nervous about this, eventhough its only a friends date, it feels like i'm going through a trial to prove i'm worthy to continue being friends with Josie, May entered the room and said, "so Peter, are you ready?, you now what to do right?".
"Yes i'm ready, and hold the door, tell her compliments but not to many, since I dont wanna creep her out, and be a gentleman through the night", I said.
"Thats right and remember that, if she tells me you have been less than a gentleman I'll woop your ass", she said, and I could see from the look on her face she was serious, but my spider sense also told me she was very serious.
I saluted her and said "yes mam, no less than a gentleman, mam".
"Are you mocking me?, how rudd", she said with a laugh, and continued "come on lets go.
Riverdale, Mccoy residence:
"thanks for the ride May, I'll see you later tonight, love you", I said as I exited the car and shut the door.
May rolled the window down and said "see you later Peter, and have fun, but not to much fun", she said and laughed as she saw the horrofic look on my face.
She drove away and I started to walk up towards the front entrance of the, well lets see what the mail box says mccoy residence, I rang the door bell and a woman the same age as May opened it and said "you must be Peter, come in", Josies mom I guess said.
"I'm Sierra, i'm Josies mom, so you must be new to this town", Sierra said as she extended her hand for me to shake.
"Nice to meet you or sierra, which ever you prefer, i'm Peter but you already know that, but my last name is parker, bet you didn't know that", I said, as everyone in this town seems to have different opinions on what you should call them and shook her hand.
"Sierra is fine Peter, your a friend of Josie then, she has told me something about you", Sierra said
"Really, like what?" I said.
"That your into photography and science, and how cute you are", Sierra said with a smile.
Josie came running down the stair "MOM", she said, at what her mom just had said.
"Wait what?, what did you just say Sierra?", I asked, maybe I heard it wrong.
"Oh i'm just messing with you Peter, by the way Peter who is your parents?", Sierra said.
"Well, I dont have any parents, but I live with my aunt", I said.
Sierra eyes widend "i'm so sorry Peter", she said
"Its okay, bit my aunt knows you", I said and smiled at Josie as she stood besides her mom.
"Well, thats Interesting, I dont believe I know her, I dont know anyone named parker that should know me", Sierra said.
"Well her maiden name was Reilly, May Reilly, but now shes May Parker", I replied as I could see Sierra started smiling at her name.
"Wait so you just moved here?, so the May that moved into the Reilly home is actually May Reilly, but she is May parker now?", she said a little confused.
"Yeah, thats the one, she told me she knew you in high school, she told me to say sorry, because she didn't have time to come in to say hey, because she was starting her job today at riverdale private practice", I said.
"Its okay Peter, I can always catch up with her another time, well is she still a terrible cook?", Sierra said with a smile.
"Oh, you have no idea, a couple of days ago she almost burnt Hermione lodges appartment down, trying to cook, and i'm always close by with a fireextingisher, since the fire in 09, the meatloaf incident we call it", I said with a laugh.
"Well dinner is almost ready, so you two can talk until then", Sierra said as she passed Josie and gave her a smile and a thumbs up.
I didn't listen in on the two, but I could see some red in Josies cheeks, "well he is a catch Josie, reel him in before someone else does", she told her daughter.
"Hey Peter, you look nice", she said and smiled, she went forward and hugged me, I hugged her back, is everyone in this town a hugger?, I have noticed after the obligatory handshake, then afterwards its just hug city up in here.
"Hey Josie, you look very pretty today", I said, and just like that I knew I said something wrong, the look in her eyes changed.
"What do you mean today?, dont I look Pretty everyday?, the answer your looking for is yes Peter, yes will give you bonus point, no will give you something complety different, so yes or no?", Josie said, but I didn't feel my spidersense tingle, so she is just playing.
"Well, then I would say yes, you look Pretty everyday, so I would like my bonuspoint in cash please", I said and joked.
She laughed "haha, very funny Peter, I know what you meant and thank you, its always nice for a girl to hear she looks nice", she said and we both laughed.
"Well you two seem to get along, the dinner is ready, come on before it gets cold", Sierra said, as both Josie and I, entered the dinning room.
Dinner went smoothly, Josie and her mom are really easy to talk to, we talked about everything from Josies Music, to Sierra and Mays childhood, to my life in new York.
At one point Josie and I went to her room, well lets just say Josies room is not as rock and roll you would think, its what I would describe as an average teenage girl bedroom, well I have seen a few swinging through New York, wait no, that sound wrong, its not like i'm a peeping Tom, nevermind, you have already made up your mind, so onwards with the story.
"Whats with the smirk parker?", Josie asked, as I looked around her room.
"Well its not as rock and roll as I would have thought, its more like a princess room", I said and smirked at her.
"What so I can't be a princess and a rock and roll queen?", Josie smirked, as she moved closer to me.
"Well I mean sure, but I think your just a princess, not very much rock and roll, right now", I said and laughed.
She jumped from me and said "I'll give you princess parker", she was on my back and she was trying to drag me down, and I let myself fall, she was on top of me with a smirk and said "well i'm a rock and roll princess", we locked eyes and she started to lean down and I started to raise my head, we closed our eyes, I could feel her breath on my lips, but right before we could connect, Sierra yelled from downstairs.
"Josie, Peter, its time to leave, come on you two", Sierra yelled from downstairs.
"Sorry about that Peter, it just seemed right in the moment", Josie said and blushed.
"Its alright Josie, its not like I wasn't trying to kiss you to, come on, lets go downstairs before your mom comes up and looks for us, and can you get off me so we can go", I said and blushed.
"What if I dont wanna get up Peter?", Josie started, but Sierra yelled again "alright you two come on, we dont have all evening".
We both went down the stairs, walked out of the House and into the car.
Riverdale high, parking lot:
"You two have a good night, and Peter I expect her home in one piece", Sierra said.
"Ofcourse Sierra, thank you for dinner and a nice evening", I said and smiled at her.
Josie and I exited the car, and walked towards the entrance of the dance, she looped her arm through mine, I noticed alot of pictures of who I think is Jason, well this is sorta a memorial for him right?
we went into the dance and noticed I noticed, veronica, Archie and Betty, arm in arm, Josie and I walked over to them and said hey.
"Hey Peter, looking good man, you too Josie", Archie said and smiled at us.
"Thanks Archie, you too, and veronica and Betty you two look beautiful", I said, and smiled at the two.
"Thanks Peter, you look very handsome in that suit of yours, and you look Pretty too Josie", veronica said, and I noticed Ronnie giving Josie quite the glance.
"Hey Peter, thanks, you look handsome", Betty said and blushed at her own comment, I just smiled at her, and Josie started tugging at my arm.
"Come on Peter, we have to meet up with melody and valerie, you three have a good night", Josie said and smiled at them.
"You too", Archie, Betty and veronica said.
Veronicas pov:
I looked at Peter and Josie for alittle bit or staring holes into the back of Josies head, well I should be the one with Petey tonight, oh well, he said they're just friends, so I haven't lost yet.
Archie and Betty talked about his spot on the varsity football team, Betty asked "when do you have to let the coach know", and Archie answered "this weekend".
I walked in front of them and said "guys, just for this weekend can't we just stop being, the jocks, the artist, can't we just be everything at once"
"I'm working on it veronica", Archie said and looked around the room.
"Work faster", I said to Archie, I started to walk away, but said "i'm getting punch", and I whispered to Betty "you got this".
Peter pov:
I watched as veronica left the two to get punch, but turned my attention around when Josie and I walked up to her band mates, "hey cats, remember Peter?", Josie said.
"Well ofcourse, you never stop talking about him", valerie said and smirked at Josie.
"Valerie!", Josie said and laughed.
"I'm kidding", valerie said.
"Hey Peter sorry to leave you, but we promised Cheryl to sing, so I'll see you after we're done", Josie said and smiled at me.
"Yeah ofcourse, I'll see you around", I said and turned around to look for veronica, who was still at the punch table.
"Hey Ronnie, can I get a drink?", I asked and smiled at her.
"Sure, here you go", she said and smiled, as we were making small talk, Cheryl went up to the stage to make a speech.
"Good evening friends, are you all having a good time?", Cheryl started and everyone gave a cheer, and she continued "as honory cheer person, and de facto queen of tonights semi formal, its my honor to introduce tonights main event, they usually only perform their own songs, it tonight they'll play Jasons favorite songs, I give you Josie and the pussycats", she ended her speech as Josie and her Crew got onto stage to sing.
I turned towards veronica and said, "can I have this dance my lady".
"Well ofcourse kind sir", she said as she grabbed my hand and let me into the dance floor.
It was a slow along, so we slow danced, and talked, and at one point Betty and Archie was looking at us, well only Betty since Archie didn't see us, so we started to mouth to her "do it, do it now Betty", but from the look on her face the talk didn't go as planned.
Cheryls pov:
"Girls make sure those two come to my after party, also veronica and Peter, i'm in the mood for chaos", she said too her two 'friends'
Thornhill afterparty (Peters pov)
So this must be riverdales biggest house, but my spidersense is buzzing low, what can cause it here, I have to look into that later, for now i'm here with Josie.
Josie came in with two cups "here Peter", I looked at her and said thanks, "its beer Einstein", she smiled and sat next to me on the couch.
"Thanks Josie", I said and smiled back.
"Well its game night here at chez blossom, we're going old school tonight, seven minutes in heaven, who wants to be the first in the closet of love?", Cheryl said as she looked around at all of us, and she continued "my vote is a for Archie", "alright gather around kids, lets see who're gonna ride the red stallion tonight", she said as she began to spin the bottle, and to my dismay it ended on veronica, "Its clearly pointing to the new girl, this should be fun", Cheryl said.
"I'm not doing this", veronica said, and I released a breath of relief.
"Well thats up to you, but houserules says, that the hostes takes the turn instead", Cheryl said, and I saw veronica go with Archie into the closet.
Thornhill, after party closet (veronicas pov):
"I know her brother just died, but Cheryl blossom is truly the anti Christ", I said and we both let out small laughs.
"So do you miss new York?", Archie asked.
"Its been less than a week, but yes", I said.
"Still six minutes and twenty seconds left, okay your turn, ask me a deep personal question, that'll kill time", Archie said, and now was the chance to ask about Betty.
"It looked like you and Betty were having fun at the dance", I said.
"Well ofcourse, we have been friends forever, my turn", Archie said.
"I didn't ask my question yet, is that all it is, just friends?", I said.
"We're not just friends, we're best friends", he said and I laughed alittle at it, and he continued "did you have a boyfriend back in new York", he said.
"No, my turn, could it ever become more, between you and Betty?", I asked.
"Are you asking for Betty of yourself", he said and was looking a little pissed by the question.
"For Betty, and you didn't answer my question", I said.
"I have never felt, whatever i'm supposed to fell for her", he said and I could tell he was genuinly telling the truth.
"Well have you ever felt it though, for anyone?", I asked and steped closer.
"Yeah, this summer, have you?", he asked.
"Maybe once", I said and started to think about Peter, and I smiled.
"Well, you're alittle more dangerous, than you look, all boy next door", I said.
"You have no idea", he said as he stepped closer.
"Your turn, ask me a question Archie, ask me anything you want", I said.
We started to lean closer together and I said "we shouldnt be doing this", and Archie said "we defently should'nt do this", and before I knew it the old veronica was back and Archie and I were kissing in the closet.
reggie said, "yes nailed it andrews", and laughed.
I said "wheres Betty?", and looked around in search for her and I saw Peters eyes on me, he was looking from me to Archie and I could tell he wanted to say something, instead he turned around and began walking away, shit, Peter.
I ran after him and stopped him out front, "hey where are you going handsome?", I asked.
"Home", he said and started to walk again.
"Wow there, please stop and talk to me, why are you going?", I said and was afraid to lose him, since I might have an idea of why.
"I'm going before I do something I might regret, I really thought I meant more to you, but I guess shame on me right?", he said, I could see in his eyes, he hated me now, and that thought alone was enough to make me cry.
"Peter please, it was just one kiss, it was the old veronica that came up in me, i'm sorry, please, just talk to me", I said and grabbed his hand, but to my surprise he pulled his hand back.
"Yeah, you're right, thanks for reminding me", he said cryptically.
"What?", I asked, and saw Josie approaching with his jacket, I saw Peter looking at her.
"It doesnt matter, bye veronica", he said and went over to Josie, grapped his jacket and he was gonna walk her home, shit I think I have lost Betty and now possibly Peter too, okay this is not a good day, I looked at Josie and Peter, and he was having his hand around her waist and she was putting her head on his shoulder, did I just ruin something great?, I felt a tear fell down my face.
I went back inside Thornhill to look for Betty, Cheryl approched " well to answer your question before you ran after Peter, she fled, between us she is kinda crazy", Cheryl said.
"You shady bitch", I said and walked away, to look for Betty, Peter could wait, since I atleast know his with Josie, okay that stung alittle in my chest saying that.
I walked away, with Archie in tow, "shit, Bettys cell is off", he said.
"I'm getting an uber", I said.
"Can I come with you, we should find her, about Peter, I can talk to him after I find Betty", Archie said.
"Believe me, the last thing Betty wants is for us to track her down together, and for Peter, I dont think he wants to talk to either of us", I said, and the last part hurt more than I thought it would, "we messed up", I said.
Pembrooke, Hermiones appartment:
"Hey, you're home early, how was the dance?", mom asked.
"It was fine, it was not the met ball or anything", I said, as I sat down besides her and took my heels off.
"Well tell me about it, maybe you could cheer me up", mom said.
"I'm super tired mom", I said as I rested my head in her lap.
"Is everything okay mija?" Mom asked, I was not answering mom, so she continued "Ronnie, what is it?".
Thornhill, (peters pov):
"Hey Peter, are you okay?", Josie asked, when we were walking away from Thornhill.
I looked down at her and smiled, "yeah i'm okay, just realised some things tonight", I said.
"Come on Peter, lets go to pops and get something to eat, your treat", she said and started dragging me towards pops.
"Well ofcourse, after you mom made dinner, its the least I could do", I said as we walked side by side, her head on my shoulder and my arm tightly around her waist.
Pops dinner:
I walked into the dinner and noticed it was almost empty, a couple of people there enjoying them self, I saw Jughead, I gave him a quick nod, and Josie and I walked up to the desk and ordered our food, and took a seat in one of the booths, I felt my phone vibrate
Auntie: hey Peter, i'm going to do a dobbel shift, so i'm not home until 6 in the morning, love you.
Peter: hey May, its okay, i'm just grabbing a bit to eat before i'm following Josie home, see you tomorrow, and I love you too.
"Sorry about that, it was just May, telling me she is working until 6 in the morning", I said and smiled a her.
"Its okay Peter, then we have all night to talk", whe said and smiled.
My phone went of again, this time its veronica.
Ronnie: hey petey, can we talk later?
Petey: *read*
Ronnie: so thats a no then?
Petey: *read*
"Is it still your aunt texting?, Josie asked.
"doesnt matter, lets enjoy the rest of our evening before your mom calls the police on me, for not having you home by two", I said and laughed.
I heard the dinner bell ring I looked over my shoulder and saw Archie enter, he didn't notice me, but I saw he asked pops if Betty had come by, and pops told him only a few customers were here at this hour, only the Nighthawk, which is Jughead, I saw him make his way over to him and talk, so I guess they're friends, I turned my attention towards Josie again.
1 1/2 hour later:
So Josie and I decide to walk home to her House, we had a good talk in the dinner, some good food, and alot of coffee, we walked up her driveway, and saw the light in her moms room was on, which meant her mom was still up, we stood on her front porch.
"Thanks for tonight Peter, it was really Great, I hope we can do this another time?", she said and smiled at me.
"Ye-ye-yeah it was great, thanks, and I do believe I would like that", I said and smiled right back at her.
"Where were we, when my mom so rudely interupted us today, oh thats right, right about here", Josie said as she pulled me by the collar of my jacket, and brushed her lips against mine, she started to pull away, but I grabbed her by her waist and kissed her again, once we started pulling away, we rested our foreheads against eachother.
"Wow", was all I could say.
"Yeah wow indeed, but I have to go see you around", she smiled and kissed my lips again before she went inside, when I started to walk away I saw her mom in the window, she smiled and waved at me, I smiled and waved back.
Riverdale, Mays neighbourhood:
I was almost home, when I saw Archie and Betty talking.
"I'm not gonna ask what you did with veronica at Cheryls", Betty started, and had tears in her eyes "but i'm asking you right now if you love me, or even like me", she finished.
"Ofcourse I love you Betty", he started and moved closer to betty, and continued "but I can't give you the answer you want", he finished.
"Why", was all Betty could say.
"You're so perfect, I'll never be good enough for you", Archie said.
Betty just turned around and walked back inside her house, not even sparring him a second glance.
Archie turned around and saw me, he smiled and waved, but just like Betty, I just turned around and went inside my aunts house, without sparring him a second glance.
Parker residence:
I went inside and locked the door, I was glad Josie was there tonight or I might have done something I might regret, I went up to my room, and took the suitcase out from under my bed and decided it might be time for Spiderman to make a Tour of riverdale to see if there was anything illegal going on, I walked over to my window and saw Betty standing there, she saw me and waved, I waved back, bit closed my curtains, as did she.
I put the suit on and went to Mays room, and jumped out her window, since her window nobody can see in, look out riverdale here comes Spiderman.
